I like Woodruff. I took her for Abnormal and Attitudes Toward Death & Dying. She's entertaining, but doesn't use visual aides, so if you don't take notes, you need to read extra carefully. What that bothered me was the suicide portion of ATDD. She almost jokes about it, and seems a little insensitive. Definitely beware of that before signing up.

Comment:
She's a weird but wonderful prof. She somehow makes an hour and 15 minute lecture riveting. She only gives 3 tests the entire semester, and they aren't particularly difficult, but if you skip class you definitely won't pass them since a lot of material is from the lectures. It's not hard to pay attention. Purchase the outline she talks about!!

Professor Woodruff is very knowledgable and presents the material in an interesting and relevant manner. I took her for both Abnormal Psych and Attitudes Toward Death & Dying and loved her. She's so funny and nice, take her if you can!

She's not as easy as everyone says. I thought this was going to be my easiest class but regretted taking it by the end of the year. She is not an easy grader, and the tests have vague information on them.

Attendance is 100% mandatory unless you read the textbook from cover to cover because all lectures are given verbally (no powerpoints or notes exist), and no information is posted online. If you go and take decent notes, then you will do really well on exams. She is a nice lady who doesnt want to trick her students at all

Ok, if you want to pass this class you HAVE to attend class. She only teaches verbally. No power points - no anything - just verbal teaching. She talks, you listen and write it down. Before each exam she will tell you what definitions to focus on, which helps alot. She has a good heart. Also one 12 page paper! 3 Exams and 12 page paper.

Class is completed based on 2 tests but they are super easy and straight forward. She tells you what to study and know before the tests are given, and the material is very interesting. She knows what she is talking about and has many personal accounts for every topic. Highly suggest taking her for ATTITUDES TOWARDS DEATH AND DYING

Probably the worst class I've taken so far. She doesn't use a powerpoint or any visuals. Its the most boring thing you have to sit through. Sure the tests are relatively easy but I'd rather have hard tests and an engaging class. Take someone else if you can.

3 Tests and 1 Essay each are worth 25%. She is not as easy as people say she is. I have a 3.8GPA. You have to memorize a lot. Although she gives you the terms to study for, its hard to know how in depth you need to know them. It's easy to get B+, maybe even an A- but like any other classes, A is not as easy as other comments say...

idk why she is rated as being easy...there is nothing conceptually difficult about this course but the volume is ridiculous especially because your grade is determined by two tests.

everyone thought this was going to be an easy a....until the midterm when 21% failed and the average was a 73. unfortunately, your grade is 50% midterm, 50% final. shes pretty odd and the first part of the class is much more depressing than the rest so dont get discouraged. only take this if you will go to EVERY class - only way to pass.

this more of advice than a review - make an effort early on to get to know her. she grades 25% of term papers and the papers she grades are of the kids she knows. most people who had her grade their paper got an A, while many of those who were graded by the TA got a D. also follow term book when taking notes.

Comment:
Lectures seem like they take hours but if you either read the textbook or take good notes the tests are easy (all multiple choice). The paper is pretty simple too, just time consuming. She tells you exactly what you need to know for the test too. Some work involved but she makes it pretty easy to get an A

Comment:
Boring professor but very interesting material. Two exams, each with 5 or 6 ids and 2 long essays. She is a very strict grader and wants as many details as you can remember from her lecture. Students who did best on her exams filled up the blue books. If you aren't doing well, see her in office hours and go over material with her, it could help.

Class is really interesting and informative but very depressing at times. She's not a people person, but tells you exactly what to study before exams, and it's all spitback. Pretty easy A but also really interesting. I'm very glad I took the class
