Reviews of professor Brian Woods

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Had him both semesters of Orgo. I think he's the better professor because his slides are more clear but both are kinda similar. He tries to simplify things. Orgo is a hard subject but if you do what they tell you to, you can succeed! Go to SI and his office hours for extra help and USE TEXTBOOK for extra practice. Orgo is hard but not impossible!

Doesn't explain things very well.

Dr. Woods is a great Orgo prof. The only thing I would stress is do well on the first test. It is 10 times easier than the other two. Also, if you go to class and somewhat know him, he will help your grade its very worth attending lectures. The second 2 tests and final are really hard, but make sure to practice the short answer and thats 40%.

Dr. Woods was super cool and willing to help when you need it.  His PowerPoints are super organized and clear to understand.

Such an amazing professor, probably the best I've ever had!! Dr. Woods helps you and explains everything so well, they provide a ton of resources and practice problems, and he is very supportive! He even sent students an end of the semester email congratulating them on all of their hard work! Ive never seen any teacher do that so he really cares.

I learned more in recitation with Woods than I did in lecture with Crandell, but I still barely learned anything in recitation until I went to SI. Dr. Woods was a very nice (+cute) guy and he cared about us actually understanding the information. I ended up dropping chemistry but he was my best chem prof this year.

Really enjoyed him as a teacher. No matter who you take organic chem is going to be hard but he really structured his class well where he gave plenty of time for practice problems. You need to put in a lot of work outside of class, but overall actually pretty interesting stuff.

This was Dr. Woods first semester teaching organic chemistry and i think he has done a fantastic job so far. The material is very hard, at least for me, but he does a great job explaining it all and has answered all of my questions I have had without a problem. Practice problems are the key to doing well and he does them in class.
