Tests are fair. Review lecture slides and di the hw quizes and youll do good

Woods is an awesome professor. Really tried to clarify concepts and if you attend lecture and read it's quite easy to pass. Lectures are a must to attend and if you don't read you can still get a B on tests. The book really clarifies concepts. Overall a great class and a great teacher who really wants her students to pass.

Professor Woods will make you think that you understood the material but it is mostly confusing. She will go over one topic for three lectures and test you on it only 5% and not go over something and test you 85% on it. Long story short, she does not know how to make a fair test.

Her slides are awful and she talks way to fast. She puts way to much material on the slides and there is no way to get all the necessary information because she talks too fast. If I have to hear her voice anymore I may jump of the roof of the lecture hall

I enjoyed Professor Woods, she does go fast and read from the slides but its not in a monotone way. She expands and is enthusiastic. The course is very dense, you learn a lot in class everyday and are responsible for a lot of the material. You don't need the textbook to do well but you do have to study. Test are doable.

DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS WITH WOODS! Wait until the next quarter and take it with anyone else besides Woods. Her exams are ridiculous, the class mean was 65% and the mean on the final was 72% with a massive curve! She reads entirely off her slides, so no point in attending class, they are online. I learned an awful lot in the course, yet did poorly.

Woods knows a lot about her field, but in lecture she only reads off her powerpoint which is not helpful because anyone can read. Lectures are boring because of this, and you barely need to go because she puts the slides online. The class rubric makes sense and if it wasn't for her horrible teaching, the class shouldn't be too hard to pass.

So..I am a 3.9 student and this class was the first class i received a C+. Her tests are very straightforward, but she makes them hard. REALLY HARD. She tries everything to trick you, and she goes over the materials way too quickly. If she says one sentence in class, that is "fair game" on the test. Your grade is purely based off of tests.

She goes over the slides way too fast in lecture and skips around too much between slides. She confuses more than she explains. Would wait for another quarter to take this class with someone else

Hated the class, hated her, hated the subject. Beware, wait for the next quarter to take Psy3 with someone else. 010 would not reblog.

This was the hardest class I've ever taken. The first half of the class is 100% bio and there is a ridiculous amount of info you have to memorize. There are no assignments, so it's solely grades on 2 midterms and a final. The test questions were unnecessarily difficult for what is already a difficult subject matter.

Only take this class with her if you hate yourself. This class is 0% psychology and 100% biology. The material is really difficult and she doesn't make it any easier. The test are 100 times harder than anything we learn in class and she already expects us to fail. If the mean of a midterm is 65, it doesn't mean make the next one harder.

Love her class!!

It's definitely a more challenging class but she really tries to help her students understand the material. I would study the lecture notes rather than the book. The tests are definitely fair and straight forward. I would recommend her for this class.

Love her as always! She is fabulous.

I would say keep up with your lectures rather than reading the book, but read the book for a more detailed/clearer understanding. If it's not covered in lecture, skip over the info in the book. The midterms/final is mostly on the lectures. The curve in the class will help your grade alot.

This class is difficult & requires memorizing many details. However, Woods' lectures are very clear & helpful, & her slides (which are posted online before lectures) are very well organized & clear. The 2 midterms & 1 final are mostly based on lectures, but partly on the book (Physiology of Behavior), which is somewhat difficult to follow.

Hard class, tons of information and a lot of memorizing. Going to class is usefull but hard to stay awake or attention for that long. Woods does not give any studyguides or directions for tests, which makes it very hard to study. Tests are not easy and very detailed.

incredibly intelligent and helpful
