Reviews of professor Christian Wood

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
class routine is a mix of several different activities. study guides for quizzes line up with actual content, so it's easy to focus on learning the language instead of cramming. dr. wood is excellent with explanations and follow-up questions. odd, but in the best way. visit office hours to get good grades on papers!!

He really got me into French. Does really well at making you see the progress you're making. He's a little odd, but a nice guy nonetheless. Gives study guides for the tests and he also will let you know what areas you need to improve on if you want. It does seem like he picks slight favorites, at least in the intro classes, it isn't terrible though

My biggest issue with Dr. Wood was not the content of the class but his rubric for grades. The books that he chose for us to read were all great. He was just unclear when it came to grading our papers (which we had 4 two page ones, and one "Research" paper), so definitely see him during office hours to get feedback.

He did not give any exams in HUM 110. This was really nice to only have papers. He is a very nice guy. However, I think everyone got 93's for participation and everyone gets B's on papers. He is very very specific in what he wants for papers.

Ridiculous expectations and a nitpicky grader. Don't expect an A. A nice person and fine in class as a professor but a frustrating grader. If you can get past that he's fine.

By far, this was the best class I've ever attended.
The grading criteria was clear. He made sure everyone participated and understood.
He made the class extremely fun and it's impossible to not get good grades if you follow the review questions and/or discuss with him the answers after test.

In HUM 110 there were no exams, only papers which was really nice. He was very relaxed, we spend the beginning of some classes meditating. He was a tough grader on papers, but if you went in and talked about a draft it was very helpful. Participation is really easy to do well on.

Definitely has a different personality, but is good in class for discussion and questions. He seems to pick favorites but not in any way that is too obvious and annoying. Hard grader but will work with you on papers if you go to office hours.
