Reviews of professor Joel Wood

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I have never been a big fan of writing courses, I have had bad experiences with past instructors, but with Joel he made me love writing. My theme was Climate Change and I did not think it would be interesting but it was!! He made it so easy to follow through and helped us in every step of the two essays that we have to do. I would take it again!!

Sweet baby Jesus, where to start? The voice softer than doves feathers? The intellect sharper than a German engineering graduate? Or the passion stronger than the moon on a high tide! All I know is I need this prof more than a deep sea diver needs air.

Professor Wood is truly caring, yet a fantastic teacher. He consistently strives to help his students to succeed through positive critiques that are informative. He is very considerate of any external problems that you could have. His structure makes writing less laborious since he allows you to pick your topic from the general criteria.

Professor Wood was my favorite writing teacher!!! He's very caring for his students and makes the effort to give help that they need when writing papers. The only thing is sometimes I feel like his lectures were a little dry and lacked structure. But there is clear grading criteria for what your grade is based on, so just focus on papers & u good!

Very understanding and gives really good feedback. He puts in a lot of effort when trying to help students improve their writing and always gives clear instructions and grading criteria. By far one of my favorite professors!

10/10 would take again. Heck, I'd suck his big pp if he'd let me. Best professor ever. Very soft-spoken and would recommend to others.

This man is the sweetest and the best writing professor at UCI. He's very laidback, and doesn't give too many assignments. His big assignments were the CP Rough/Final Draft, AP Rough and Final Draft, and the Final Portfolio. I emailed him about a paper, and he offered me a LONG extension period for the project without any hesitation.

The best writing teacher at UCI. He was very kind to me and offered me an extension in winter quarter with no hesitation. A very lenient grader. Was very understanding when covid lifted and made his class hybrid, despite him struggling with zoom lol. Even threw a little celebration for the in-person people on the last day .
