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. For full seminar description go to College of Letters & Science Academic Programs website: https://www.duels.ucsb.edu/academics/seminars/list

PSY10A . Woods V E 8 Months Ago

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.

PSY10A . Woods V E 8 Months Ago

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.

PSY10A . Woods V E 10 Months Ago

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.

PSY111 . Woods V E 10 Months Ago

Her 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

PSY111 . Woods V E 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

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.

PSY109 . Woods V E 1 Year, 6 Months Ago

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.
