Professor Wooten was such an incredible professor that I am now adding a Black Studies major! So personable, knowledgable, amazing professor. Lectures and reading are all FASCINATING. I sent my friends and family lots of articles to read. I wish everyone in the world could take this class. Life-changing material. Quizzes are fair.

Dr. Wooten is an absolutely amazing teacher. He's a super nice guy that completely changed my way of thinking about so many things. There definitely was a lot of reading but he reviewed everything afterwards so you understood it. If you do the reading and the work he says to do, you'll be fine and he was always super helpful.

Dr. Wooten cares about his students' success; he genuinely cares about your performance in his class and is there for you to discuss if you have any family problems. Wonderful instructor, just make sure to keep up with the readings and weekly responses.

Genuinely cares about the class and students, even created a social hour to help with online transition. There are lots of pdf readings(5/week), but is definitely manageable and the main points are reiterated in quizzes(open note) + section. His lectures can get long winded, but are interesting + worth attending. As a person, he is fun to talk to!

I cannot STRESS THIS ENOUGH. I love Dr. Wooten so much. The best teacher I have ever had. Inspiring, caring, intelligent, the whole package. This man deserves the world and more. Take his class for sure.

Terrance Wooten is the prime example of what an Professor should be! He is passionate and really just wants you to succeed, not just in his class or in school, but in life. He pushes you to realize how awesome YOU are and to realize how much YOU can accomplish. It is a nice breath of fresh air to find a professor that legitimately cares.

Dr. Wooten is possibly one of the best teachers I have ever had. He cares so deeply about his students and makes himself very available. The lectures are necessary to do well in the class but he is a great speaker and very funny so I always looked forward to going. Dr. Wooten is so inspiring, I really hope I can take another one of his classes!

Professor Wooten has been my favorite professor at UCSB hands down. He genuinely cares about your learning and he's a great lecturer. There is lots of reading and section is mandatory so you have to put in work but he is a fair grader. If you need any help go to office hours, he's super helpful.

I loved Professor Wooten! Even though it's only his first year at UCSB he's one of my favorite profs!! You definitely need to do the readings (there are a lot), and his lectures are great with his high level of enthusiasm for the subject. Section is mandatory though and PARTICIPATE. My missing participation points stopped me from getting an A :(

Took Bl St 1 with Wooten and I have nothing but good to say about him. He is such a caring and compassionate professor and wants us to really learn and engage. Graded by reading quizzes/midterm/research paper/final, there is lots of articles to read but all interesting. Go to class and pay attention, section is mandatory but will help. 10/10

Professor Wooten is probably the best professor I have had at UCSB. He is very caring, understanding, and passionate about his work. Lectures are not mandatory but he made it so worth it to attend, I never wanted to miss a lecture even though they were switched from 12:30pm twice a week to an 8am twice a week, a week into the quarter! 12/10 :)

Professor Wooten made me relive UCSB. He is extremely caring of his students and passionate about what He is teaching. It is obvious that he is genuine because he takes the time to clearly articulate all topics and will walk you through if you struggle. Theres a lot of reading but its interesting and all relevant to the class and the work.
