Reviews of professor Barry Wood

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He is good at what he does, but he doesn't connect with the students. He knows the material, and I think he could do better at teaching it, to help students remember better. All the quizzes are memory, you have to really know stuff, like dates, names and works of art. It's a hard class.

He is very smart and knows what he is talking about, but he makes you feel dumb when you do not know something that you are supposed to be learning. I studied for hours for the exams I have taken and still have not got above a 60%. He does give good feedback on why you got a bad grade, but hardly ever is pleased. It's lots of information to learn.

Honestly, I really liked the material in this class. I really enjoyed learning about non western culture. But Mr. Wood really did make it so awful for me. He made me unintruiged by the way he taught and graded. I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone. Don't want to be harsh, but stay clear of this class if you know whats good for you.

I cannot stress this enough DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!!! he is a horrible lecturer, and is never available to answer questions or clarify his expectations for papers and tests. He expects you to memorize a bunch of fact and regurgitate them a month later onto a test. He is by far the meanest and worst professor at the school. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS

Wood was the worst professor I have ever had. I was excited to learn more about Non Western humanities and the things we learned were cool, but he ruined it for me. He is a VERY harsh grader when it comes to essays. Good luck figuring out what he wants from you. Also, I hate how he wrote his own textbook and forced everyone to pay $100 for it.

Prof. Wood knows what he is teaching which is good in a teacher but overall he isn't the greatest teacher. He isn't very clear on what he wants on his assignments. He is a harsh grader so be ready for that. Most of the class didn't do well on any test or paper that we had to do so most people didn't get good grades at the end of the semester.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! He was always a couple minutes late then would immediatly start lecturing from powerpoint. He would expect you to catch everything on the slide and what hed say as hed fly through them. Ungodly expectations for learning and tests. You basically have to teach yourself everything, plus some, to even come close to passing

The most disrespectful teacher I've had. Nobody ever wanted to participate in discussions because he made each person feel so dumb, as if they just spoke gibberish. He treated us adults like we were incompetent. Lost attendance points if he felt like you didn't participate enough in class. Grades harshly and gives horrible feedback. Don't take him.
