SciTrek brings university students into local junior high school and high school classrooms to help students design and test their own experiments in chemistry, biology and math. UCSB students will be trained, and then in groups of 4-6, work with local schools to help the students improve in critical thinking, and understanding of how science works.

OMG do not take Dr. Woods. She literally told us she likes to manipulate students and is good at it. I learned absolutely nothing in this class and attendance is mandatory. Reading articles takes forever and the material is super repetitive. Super easy class though for transfer students and a good GPA booster, but really unorganized class though.

PSY111 . Woods V E 3 Months Ago

This class is ALL busy work. Most of my exams/assignments weren't graded going into finals week. She makes the course seem like it will be a breeze but it all creeps up on you. Only did well in this class because I knew most of the content from previous classes. She's super nice in OH though

Dr. Woods is okay as a professor. I found her lectures frustrating because her slides are messy and lecture explanations are all over the place, her hand drawn diagrams are very sloppy and no explanation really felt concrete to me. I did a lot of self study outside of class. She is a nice person though and welcomes questions and conversation.

I really enjoyed this course. I was nervous about the final paper at first, but the assignments throughout the quarter were extremely helpful in piecing my draft together. Also we had group quizzes and open note/book independent quizzes. I would definitely take another course with Professor Woods again!

This class had a lot of busy work that in the end didn't really help with the final assignment. Her lectures were not very easy to follow but you can access them online afterwards. She does use location based iclicker for attendance
