Reviews of professor Josh Wood

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I looked at this site before entering his class, and he had a good rating. So I thought why not? BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER. His class was not even a philosophy class, you just had to memorize stuff in order to pass. And his tests? AMBIGUOUS Q'S AND A'S. He only grades on tests which wasn't a pleasant experience. STEER CLEAR FROM HIM!!

He's very educated on the material that he teaches which makes it impossible to reason with him or do anything right. It feels like you're never right. Readings are very confusing and he grades harshly without taking that into account. It's very frustrating. I hate that I even had to put up with it for 10 weeks.

Wood's focus is on Hume. As a Hume enthusiast, he is a philosopher who hates philosophy. This lack of love and enthusiasm for the discipline and its value only serves to upset his students.

i had a difficult time and didn't score well at first because the class content is difficult to digest if you aren't familiar with philosophy, but dr wood is really passionate to help. as long as you reach out for help, he will help you out. my scores really improved, super caring and has interesting lectures. he also loves questions

Good professor. No textbook is required but there are readings. You do not really need to read them if you attend lecture and take really good notes. He does not post lecture notes online. He gave 3 exams total after every section or two and they could be difficult if you do not understand the material. Final is basically all the tests combined.

I got 2 As and a B+ on the 3 essays and made thoughtful contributions in class. However, I still ended up with a C+ in the course. Why? He only accepts handwritten, in-person submissions of the reading assignments. His class is structured to reward presenteeism rather than good work, which makes it rigged against commuter/non-traditional students.
