Reviews of professor Barry Wood

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Prof. Wood is a smart guy but you can study/read all you want and you still won't get an A. He made that very clear at the beginning of the semester. I spend hours reading the material and the tests were very difficult. My best advice to to try and get a different Professor when considering taking you Humanities credit and save yourself some grief.

Extremely hard professor. You can do well, but it takes a lot of reading. Not the class for a procrastinator. I recommend doing all homework early and studying for exams at least a week in advance. For context, there was 960 slides to study for the final. The class is possible, but hard! The professor is extremely smart though. He knows his stuff.

I wouldnt recommend. Hes very rude and expects us to know information as soon as we learn it. Grades harsh .

This class was very interesting, but this class was way harder than it needed to be. He gives really vague feedback on assignments and grades harshly. The material was really cool. He also only gives on extra credit assignment that he touches base on at the beginning of the semester and if you don't remember you're out of luck.

He is not friendly, but he is not rude. He also expects you to get what he's saying as soon as he says it and sometimes before. He does not care what you think or personally feel about the topic, only that you can parrot to him exactly what he wants you to say. He is a harsh grader and you have to discover his obscure wants through trial and error.

Professor Wood is very arrogant, and I don't think it bother him when his students don't pass his class. It seems as if he's proud of his 54% passing rate. When we don't know the answer to one of his questions he either cuts class, or makes the students feel incompetent. Safe yourself the headache and take this class from someone else!!

This is a terrible professor. He is extremely rude and openly calls his students racists! His grading is extremely harsh and unfair. He needs to be fired!! Never take his class.

I would avoid taking a class from this professor if possible. His expectations are just too high for students taking this class as a GEN ED. I have to respect him for his knowledge. I found his lectures interesting. I am one of the few student to get an A from him. I went to his office hours and got his feed back on potential exam essay questions.

The course material was enjoyable, but Wood's arrogance ruined the class. When the students he called on didn't have the answer he was looking for, he would either take away their participation points for the day or treat them like they're incompetent. The classroom always felt uneasy and anxious. Save your sanity, don't take this class.
