Nice lectures, as long as you take notes the online quizzes are very doable. Didnt study for them more than an hour or two and the lowest score I got was an 80. Proposal is difficult but as long as you keep up with weekly assignments you have little to write during the last week. Great at individual feedback, TALK TO HER, TAs can be confusing

Amazing lecturer. Woods is really great, so smart. Research proposal isn't as scary as it seems because you do a small part of it every week with your TA. Quizzes weren't bad online but idk about in person. Def a decent time commitment but don't be scared, psych majors! Very doable. Sections were annoyingly long tho and sometimes lots of busy work.

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.

Class honestly isn't bad, research proposal is tough but the TA's help you a lot throughout. Clear requirements and she is very knowledgeable

Great professor! Super understanding during online and very accessible through emails and office hours. I recommend going to office hours even to just sit in, very helpful. Tests are fair and research proposal is a big portion of grade, just do it before finals week and you will be fine.

Dr. Woods is an extremely accommodating professor. She sends out weekly schedules that layout what you should be doing each day, always responds to emails, and she even personally emailed everyone who indicated that they were nervous about class being online. I haven't finished the course yet but the grade is heavily based on the research proposal

Not the greatest but not the worst. She's very sweet and she makes us dance before every class. However, her lectures are very dull, she drags out concepts that are easy. She took one full hour to explain a term that I understood in 5 mins by self-studying. Her tests are fair but watch out for the paper, I got an 75% on the paper hence the B+.

Amazing class. The most engaging, fun lecture that I never missed the whole quarter. I will be raking any class Professor Woods offers in the future.

Of all of my professors, Dr. Woods made the switch to online curriculum the most bearable. She communicated throughout the week, and provided detailed suggestions for how you should organize your study time. She was very accommodating if you took the time to reach out.

The transition to online learning was made extremely difficult by Professor Woods, as she increased the amount of work we would usually have had in a normal setting. I believe she did not care about the circumstances of the world during this class and offered little flexibility. So many assignments and much time expected for us to dedicate to them

Woods is very passionate about the class and research methods. The class leads to a long research paper and Woods is very available to help and makes the assignment more understandable. Her tests require a deeper understanding of the material, but is very manageable if you study.

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.

Dr. Woods is super enthusiastic when she teaches, which makes learning a lot more fun. I wish every professor would have this passion for helping their students understand what is being taught. By far my favorite class that I have taken at UCSB.

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.

Dr. Woods is great! She made 8am lectures worth attending. She really cares about your success and helps you understand research in psychology. The research proposal is extensive and a significant amount of your grade but it makes the class interesting. But sometimes her lecture slides are unclear and do not correlate with what she's talking about

Lectures heavily and simple topics take about a week to get through. She could definitely speed it up and not over complicate things but it wasn't that big of a deal. The tests really weren't that hard at all especially if you read the textbook and memorize the bold terms/ lecture slides. Research paper is graded tough. Midterm is like practice one

Shes pretty average. The textbook was disgustingly long and boring. The lectures are easy to follow but she does talk a lot to get a simple point across (Three lectures on one topic). Tests were pretty difficult. Curves slightly at the end. Make sure you do well on the paper because I bombed the tests but did really well in the paper.

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.

An ok professor. Mostly reads off slides but will answer questions if you have them. Is available for office hours. Tests are pretty difficult. Textbook was boring and awful to read. Final research proposal is graded very very hard. Go to section!

She's super nice and helpful during office hours. Concepts weren't hard but the exams definitely were.

Attendance is definitely not mandatory. She spends a lot of time over-complicating rather simple concepts but then tests you on much harder concepts. Most people who've taken 10A agree that her lecture style is poor. She is rather friendly and it seems like she cares about her students though, so there's that.

Dr. Woods made what would have been very boring material interesting. She is enthusiastic, and truly cares what she is talking about. Office hours were super helpful, she helped me come up with my paper design and gave me her full attention. Her tests are tricky, make sure you know all of the vocab, she gives a lot of A+B or A+C options

Learn your receptors! Going to class and paying attention will only get you so far. Redraw the diagrams and make sure you have a good system for remembering the different drugs covered. Tests were extremely fair and not meant to trick you at all. Grade is made of a midterm, one paper and the final. Both tests multiple choice.

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!
