Reviews of professor Michael Woodford

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Woodford is a nice guy but his teaching style is not up to date. He utilizes Canvas for quizzes but lectures did not utilize powerpoint or any other tech tool. He literally lectures off a piece of paper. He assigns homework problems from the textbook but doesn't go over them unless you ask. Wasn't available outside of normal office hours.

He is a great professor and you can tell he cares a lot about what he is doing. HOWEVER, that being said, you absolutely have to WORK FOR IT. Chemistry in itself is not an easy subject.. He goes into details and answers all questions and he even rounded up my high B at the end to an A. the class is hard, the tests are hard, but he is great.

Most of his quizzes are straight from the practice problems, but he rewords just one or two things to try to make you miss it. Teaches straight from the book, no deviation. Has to reference his textbook several times during class. Absolutely no participation, allows late students and conversations in the back/ students on phones to distract others

I took this class in Spring 2019 and I withdrew from the class a day before the first final. I took it as a hybrid class, it was very hard! Not because of the material, I was great at chemistry in high school, the professor was nice but he didnt really teach. He just had us read the book and take tests thats it. Never actually taught.
