This class was extremely easy and amazing for getting comfortable with classes at UCSB! You work in groups and get to meet new people and learn how to read research articles and discuss them. Woods is a great professor and really knows what she is talking about.

Dr. Woods is so helpful & passionate. Very accessible, I recommend going to OH. There's a lot of busy work & attendance is mandatory but it's not hard and it comes together in the end. 2 indiv. online + group in-person midterms but they're easy. Final research paper that you get a lot of guidance on and the rest of the grade is from lab/section.

Professor Woods was an excellent teacher!! enthusiastic about the content and explains things well. learned so much and have a great understanding of the course material that I will retain for a long time. She really teaches to think critically, and to use and apply knowledge... not just to memorize one day and throw out the next.

I took Prof. Woods for both Psy 10A and 120L, and I recommend avoiding taking classes with her. She assigns way too much busy work each week. The only good thing about her class is that exams are take-home. Attendance is mandatory, but her lectures are a complete waste of time in my opinion. She's also very passive aggressive.
