her class felt like we had no other classes going on and had all the time in the world for that one class. the things worth 5% took hours to do but the things worth 20% suspiciously took 2 minutes? graded the take home exam super harshly and was overall annoying. no.

This class was a lot of work and super stressful, but just take things one step at a time. You have to work with a group the entire course which is painful. There's a final exam which is super easy and there's a retake for it as well. Major part of grade was the research paper. Prof is caring and understanding if you reach out.

This class was very stressful for me, but was very rewarding. Lots of assignments that arent so much difficult but tedious and time consuming and worth a small percent of your grade. The final paper is what counts most but if you keep up with the drafts you should be okay. Big group research project and presentation. Be prepared to work hard.

This class is so much work. Seriously the most stressful class Ive taken at UCSB. I feel like she can make it simple but chooses to make it completely difficult with so many assignments. If you do everything you should get an a but be prepared to be really stressed out because this class is unbelievably stressful. I dont recommend.

This class is a ridiculous amount of work. She makes you do so much. The paper itself isn't as difficult but there are a lot of assignments here and there. Also an unnecessary midterm on top of all the other assignments we had to do.

Woods is such a great prof! She is super clear with requirements, what to expect, and how you will be graded. This class is A LOT of work but definitely worth it, if you put the time in and do exactly what she says, you will have no problem getting an A in this class - going to class will be your best friend!
