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.

CollegeThis 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
Woods was a very good professor. The lectures were mandatory but if you paid attention the exams were manageable. Exams were open note, open book as well. The research paper felt daunting in the beginning but there were many assignments along the way to help build it. There is lots of busy work in the beginning that lightens up towards the end.
This class is very unorganized and the lectures are all over the place. Most of the content reviewed in lecture wasn't helpful for the final paper that is worth 35% of the grade. The final paper was very confusing and time-consuming.
SO MUCH BUSY WORK and you get no feedback. not a lot of clear criteria about the research proposal so it has been difficult writing it. the individual exams are also very difficult but she is a great professor.
Professor Woods is generally engaging, but the class has a lot of busy work. Exams are fair, and the research paper is manageable with proper guidance. Attendance is mandatory, but Unstuckstudy can be a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.
laughed at me when i went to office hours to ask a question. thats it.
