CollegeHer class had a lot of busy work which I wasn't a fan of, but it was all easy and as long as you put in the time an A is super achievable. She's also the sweetest, most approachable person ever and will remember/say hi to you quarters after you've taken the class
Prof. Woods is hard and gives a lot of work, but she is very fair and makes sure that if you do the work, attend class, and actively engage with her content, you will be rewarded with a greater understanding of psychology and neuroscience. She is not a prof you want to take if you want an easy A, but will definitely make you a better scientist.
She is unaccommodating, and condescending towards students. She isn't inspiring and thinks that she's better than other professors because she makes students do a lot of work.
I've had woods 3 times, can definitely tell she really wants to be a good teacher. Her classes are pretty labor intensive, but she tries her hardest to make everything fair. sometimes there's questions or assignments that were unclear to me though sometimes.
