Reviews of professor John Wooll

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Wooll is an overall great professor. He is friendly, and his lectures are clear and recorded, so attendance is not mandatory. His labs are required, except you can miss one. The labs are beneficial in understanding the material for upcoming tests. If you work hard and participate, this will be an easy class.

He is a good professor with a lot of knowledge. Yes, it is the toughest class I have taken but if I slacked in this class, I would for sure fail the next BIO classes. If you need to take more bio classes, I recommend you STUDY A LOT!!!! This was an online class due to covid so a lot of self motivation

Professor Wooll was both caring and helpful! Class is information-heavy. His variety of learning methods (lecture, reading, worksheets) was helpful to absorb everything. Easily reachable, very understanding. Around 2.5 hours of lecture per week, but well worth it. He makes the material easy to understand. Would definitely recommend it.

He is a great professor; you need to be on top of EVERYTHING though.

I really enjoyed his class. He was always available outside of lecture and lab and was also willing to go over test answers if you felt there was a mistake. While he did sometimes make mistakes on grading, he always returned grades really quickly.

His lectures aren't the greatest. I got by with just reading the book and taking notes. Tough grader and marks you down on the tiniest things. His feedback is weird and not that helpful. You do not want to fall behind. He takes a long time to respond. I suggest you make a group chat to help each other understand the concepts.

An amazing biology prof! He is tough but fair, thorough, and knows his stuff. Attendance is not mandatory but passing will be nearly impossible if you don't show up for lectures. He provides you with powerpoints, lecture recordings and other resources. You will read your entire textbook! I would take him again in a heartbeat.

He is one of the best professors so far. His lectures are interesting and easy to follow. All of the lectures are prerecorded and plus he records every single lecture as well. Lots of reading and studying but it is worth at the end. I have enjoyed this class a lot. Answers questions and wants you to succeed. Would take it again.

Dr. Wool is a great teacher over all. He is a balance of silly and serious. His lectures are enthusiastic and clear. However, he is "quiz heavy" (every 2 weeks) and learning is very fast paced. Homework is a little heavy with pre-labs, homework assignments due before each class + reading and studying.
