Professor Wood is wonderful and passionate about his students and teaching. I found the class challenging, but also was one that didn't care much for speech. I learned a lot about communication and so glad this joyride is finally over. As always, read the book, do the work and enjoy the outcome of your final grade. Prof. Wood gets a chili pepper
Professor Wood is a wonderful teacher. I hated the thought of having to take a speech class, but he made the class fun. He helped take the fear of having to stand up in front of people and speak. I recommend him highly for this speech class.
An amazing professor. I have taken two classes with Professor Wood, and I wish I could take more, unfortunately, he does not teach but three classes. College to me would be more enjoyable if there were more professors like him.
AWESOME teacher. I hated the thought of taking a speech class, but he made it so fun and easy. Total of 5 speeches all semester; basically come when you want to present your speech. Highly recommended!
I took Prof. Wood's online speech class. There is quite a lot of work involved, but his directions are detailed and easy to follow. You can easily get ahead in this class! He tries to help you improve on each speech for the next one.
I took his CD-based course, and he is really helpful. I do believe his daughter answers his e-mails though. He gives input on papers. I had A.P. Lit in highschool so I didn't want to endure the physical class. The syllabus was very involved and detailed. I'd recommend this class to anyone who knows English thoroughly and wants to get it over with
I am taking Intro to Film with him and he is one of the most laid back easy going teachers I know. He is fair and gives anyone a chance to make an A. If you try at all you will get a good grade in this class.
This course might be slightly difficult yet this professor will go above and beyond to help you succeed. His desire is for you to do well, always.
Absolutely the best english teacher I have ever had! I took the 16 week online English I class and all we had to do was turn an essay about every 3 weeks,then we had a mid term and a final. That was it! I made an A on almost every essay, and he always let me know what I can improve on. It was great to have an objective English professor!
This guy is a very good professor. He is very laid back. Definitely take him for any class you can.
Great professor! Wish I had more classes to take...He's awesome with communication and overall support!
Awesome professor overall; no doubt about it! Extremely helpful and encouraging to his students...I wish few other professors would take notes from him.
Great class, Great professor! His stories and added humor brought the class together. Retiring soon so get in his class quickly, well worth the time.
I took Prof.Wood online speech class. Amazing Prof!! Goes out of his way to tell you what mistake you made and how you should fix it. I learned so much in this class. You use the book a lot!! As long as you do what is expected, you will be fine. He will go out of his way to help you.
best teacher I have ever had for an english course. I now love english class (:
GREAT teacher! Grading is fair. Took him online. There is 2test, 4spc, 4essays but its so spread out its not overwhelming. He's clear on what he expects, so no worries. TAKE HIM!!! Oh, test are hard tho, but if you do good on everything else you have nothing to worry about. u do use the book a lot too. EASY Class. Maybe 3hrs a week of work.
Awesome teacher! He really cares about students and understands their needs. He works to ensure your success. Take him - you won't be sorry!
Professor Wood is awesome! He really knows the subject and presents it in a way that is easily digestible. I took him for intro to film and really loved the class. He doesn't make you watch the "classics", but shows movies you'll know which makes it easier to translate the lesson to the film. Would take again.
really easy. hes super funny and loves teaching the class. he made speech fun and easy. and is really helpful when it comes to preparing an outline, and when you go to do your speech not everyone is there so it may only be like 5 or 6 people in the class when it comes to making your speech.
OMG! Incredible teacher!!! I had a fear of public speaking. He made it so much easier for me. When you give your speeches you forget about being nervous. He is extremely helpful as well as funny. Professor Wood cares about his students and listens to their concerns. The only issue I had was that I bought the course book and we only used it once!!!
The best teacher I have ever had. I had a huge fear of public speaking. He made it easy for me. He's super nice and funny. He is all about the students. You're not terrified when giving speeches in his class. Phenomenal dude! Do not buy the text or note cards because you will not use either of them. Attendance is not mandatory! *wink*
Professor Woods is retiring; this will be a loss to the educational community. I feel privileged to have learned from a professional that uses a multitude of techniques to make his intended subject clear. Once you have leaned from Mr. Woods, you can?t just unlearn it. That is a TRUE educator. Also just want to point out I?m not a kid and over 40, w
Professor Wood was the best. I wish I had taken him for ENC1101. He is crystal clear when it comes to how he expects you to write your papers. Attendance isn't mandatory but out of respect, its good to come. He turns a 3 hour class into a 30 minute class. What more can you ask for? Whoever didn't get an A in this class is plain lazy.
Professor Wood is AWESOME!!! I was so nervous about taking English because it had been so long since I had written a paper. He made it a breeze and was very helpful! Would definitely take him again and recommend him to others!!!
Awesome professor really cool works with you and really helps you understand what you are doing!
Mr.Wood is a great professor. His class is never boring and he always tell jokes (sometimes corny) but funny. He clarifies what we have to do and he helps. I haven't met any other professors that take class periods to look over your essay like him . His class is an easy A !
Professor Wood is great.Makes everything very clear and what to expect upfront. Would recommend him to everyone. There should be more teachers like him.
This teacher was awesome. Had access to the entire course from day 1. He is very understanding, never ever condescending. Only 5 quizzes and 6 essays, and 6 discussions...not bad for a writing class if you ask me. He was an awesome teacher, made a 98% in the class
Great professor! Very helpful. A tough grader, but he enjoys a good essay!
LOVE Professor Wood!! He was always prompt when responding to emails and grading. I took this class online and loved every min of it. He is very fair when grading and if you do the work per his guidelines and the book's, you will get an A. He's a laid back professor but don't think that he's a pushover. Wish I could take him for ENC1102!!
Prof Wood is AWESOME! He gives you time to make up work if need be! Essays are no more than 500-600 words. He is a honest grader, if you show him you are trying he will assist! I recommend this prof!! Take him, take him! Discussion postings, write more than two sentences... Awesome prof he will grade your writing but you learn from it. Great prof!!
Professor Wood is wonderful and I would highly recommend that you study under him if you have the chance! He always grades in a very timely manner and provides useful feedback so you can improve upon your writing.Do yourself a favor and choose him!
Easy class to take as long as you do the requested work and do the speeches with power point. We worked at our own pace and once all your speeches were done, you didn't have to attend class! He gave helpful tips on improving public speaking and making students more confident speakers.
Professor Wood is very passionate about English and it shows. His feedback is always very helpful. He always reassured me when I thought I was doing horrible and gave me constructive critisism that helped me improve my essay and punctuation. He is a very encouraging teacher.
Professor Wood is one of the best instructors I have had. He is very knowledgeable and offers encouragement to make giving speeches easy. He had a way of making the students feel at ease when giving our speeches. I highly recommend him. We had 7 quizzes which were all open book. Four speeches with power point. He will review ahead of time.
Professor Wood, is the best!! If you have to take speech travel to the South Campus to take him. If you do everything he asks, you will get an A. Such an awesome professor.
Professor word if an excellent teacher, very helpful and understanding. Awesome
I took this professor online, I have a fear of public speaking but this online course was great! Very helpful and understanding. He was quick to respond to emails. His class is an easy A if you do your work.
Great teacher and is very helpful! Easy class as long as you do the work!
Great Professor! Easy A if you do your work!!
Took it online to meet my final AA requirement. Was a little nervous taking a speech class online but was really surprised on how easy the course was as long as you do all of your work. I've heard horror stories about other speech classes at FSCJ, but I would absolutely recommend taking Professor Arnold Wood!
Easy A, no tests or exams! Just 5 speeches, he is an easy grader and allows redoes for your speeches if you are not satisfied, even with a B! He is helpful and gives tips on how to speak well. Really recommend.
I took this professor for SPC 2608 and he was AMAZING! If you are a shy person and are scared to talk in front of people this is the class to take. If you take time to practice your speech before you speak you will get an A. He is also very funny and he cares about his students! Take him!
I highly recommend Professor Wood for your speech class! I took his online course and he was very helpful. He responds quickly and keep his students motivated. No textbook. He is funny through his emails and I can tell he cares about his students.
Excellent professor , will recommend to others. Gives great feedback on how to improve on next speech. Very pationate about students success in public speaking. 8 week summer course. 4 speeches total, discussion question once a week, 1 short research assignment, 2 Bibliographies, 2 outlines and 2 self reviews. Give quality work and you will do fine
The professor is very transparent with his responses to your work, and very detailed with your progress. I recommend to take this professor not only for the grade, but for the experience everyone needs for public speaking.
Was terrified to take speech but I not only managed to do all 4 of my speeches, but also made As on all of them. Read the lectures, participate in the discussions, and prepare and present your speeches. Fair grader.
I am terrified of public speaking. This course was perfect for me. You still have to record 4 speeches but the last one with an audience but mine was family so it made it easier than complete strangers. Professor Wood has the class contents setup clear and precise. If you do the work you will get an easy A. I did! )
In my case, it was a matter of just doing the work to get an A. He accepts late work. Answer emails quickly. You must have 5 ppl in your audience( FSCJ policy). Discussion board(9) and 4 speeches (4min +). Just practice for your speech and you get max point on it easy.
Plenty of time was given to make all the grade that you deserve. You get back what you put in. He is quick to grade your work and give you the direction you need for the next task. I would gladly take this class again and recommend it to anyone. JL
Class wasn't too difficult and there was not much work for an accelerated class. Instructions and grading criteria were very clear. GS
Professor Wood is fair and upfront with his expectations. He's understanding of the fact that most students juggle family, work, and school. Grades aren't handed to you, you get what you earn. He grades quickly and always gives great feedback. No text book required, WINNING!!! Great class, register before his class is full! MB
AW as he calls himself is very enthusiastic and is really there for you when you need help. Very clear in instruction and a fair grader. Would definitely take again if needed. SR
Professor Wood was amazing and very helpful. Very clear on his directions and provided extra credit.... MA
I was worried about taking Speech online, but Professor Wood made this a great class! His directions were to the point & gave great feedback on all of your homework assignments so you know what to work on. He was very fair by providing you all of the info you need for the class at the beginning. I would definitely take Professor Arnold again BD
He was really a great professor, and while it wasn't "difficult" work, it was necessary to put in effort and schedule time to complete the work to get a good grade. He gave great feedback on ALL assignments and was always available via email (usually responded the same day). Fair grading also. I would highly recommend. A(S)C
This professor gives great feedback. Grading is prompt. The lessons are clear, plenty of time to complete assignments. Posting in bulletin boards is not excessive. I would recommend him to any student. Gives you all the tools to pass. CB
I highly recommend this professor! I learned a lot from this course. He provides great feedback on all assignments you submit. He gives you the tools that you'll need to successfuly ace the assignments. Great communication. He is very understanding as well. Take this professor, I promise you that you won't regret it! -SRN
Professor Wood was always available and prompt with answering questions (considering it was an online class). He also individually followed up with me on my progress and provides feedback so you know what's wrong or right and how to do better. He knows the fear of public speaking and is not forceful, but encouraging. He grades fast. GC
I couldn't have chosen a better class. The online set-up was user friendly. I could actually print or make my checklist every Monday. Whether its alot or not, I still knew what was expected & could pace myself. I often had questions and Prof Wood would respond which was reassuring. He always post grading comments and it helpsMDP
I put off Speech for quite some time and am so thankful for a great professor. He really cares about his students and makes the class enjoyable and passable as long as you do the work... and he makes it so easy on you! So glad I took his class!
GREAT professor! He made the class enjoyable and effective. MR
Professor Wood has provided me with the tools to better myself in my profession. After taking his class I feel I am prepared to provide public speeches to large crowds without being nervous. He is excellent at responding via blackboard concerning any material taught in the course. He stresses on participation! I would take this class again! - JCG
I was very nervous to take the class but I needed one and chose this last minute. I ended up learning a lot more than expected! Teacher gave great feedback and was very motivating! Would definitely recommend to anyone!!
Great professor, I really enjoyed taking this class and learned a lot! I would definitely take again and recommend to everyone! Great feedback too! CW
GREAT professor! I dreaded this class... and actually ended up enjoying it! Highly recommend him. I took 16w online class and had no problems. WS Fall2015-SPC2608-Fund Public Speaking-426079
I enjoyed this class ! He gave great feedback and clear instruction. If you do the work... you will pass! MR Fall2015-SPC2608-Fund Public Speaking-426079
This was a great class. He was super helpful when you had a question and always explained why he would take points off for an assignment so you could correct yourself. I would definitely take him again! CH
I really enjoyed taking Spc2608. Professor Wood was very helpful any time I had questions regarding assignments. I truly believe he wants his students to pass and tries to help in any way he can. - AH
Professor Wood was one of the best college professors that I have ever had! He was super helpful, making sure to get back to me after I emailed him very quickly. He was also very clear in what he wanted. He accepts late work, but does not give feedback always on the late work. I would definitely take him again! Bailey Hall
Professor Wood graded assignments in a timely manner. He gave a lot of feedback with each assignment and he was very encouraging. He made made the dreaded subject of public speaking a pleasant experience. GK
One of the best professors I've had in college so far. Really recommend him. O.A.
I knew this would stress me out more than teach me new stuff so I took it online. He is helpful and wants you to pass - gives extra credit for an eval on here. He grades quickly and comments on everything. Submitting late work didn't affect my grade (online class). I just wish there was a lot more to this basic-level class than it offers! MW79
Prof. Wood is amazing. Very accommodating, helpful; he gives fantastic feedback & encourages great participation. Extremely fair and probably the most encouraging professor you'll ever meet. He has really clear grading criteria AND he's flexible when appropriate. His flexibility and kindness was what kept me from dropping the class. A.H.
Great Professor! Really made the course clear and exciting! would highly suggest!
I highly recommend this professor! He gives great helpful feed back and was more than helpful in accommodating my busy schedule. If you do the work and follow his instructions you'll do great. IO
I dreaded the fact that I had to take a speech class to get my degree, but Prof Wood made it worth while. He made sure that I knew my strengths and weaknesses and how I could improve them. He is by far one of the best teachers that I have encountered at FSCJ. I recommend him to all my friends who have to take a speech class. 433133 CM
Online class. No tests, 4 speeches, 9 short lectures, 9 DB. Material was easy to understand. He gives examples for everything. The hard part was speaking in front of an audience, which is required for all 4 speeches. Fortunately, he wasn't looking for perfection, just progress. This is a class you can do even if your schedule is full. MT-34
I really enjoyed this class! Professor Wood is very knowledgable and responds quickly to emails. I am so glad I took this class with him! If you do the work you succeed! He has helped me with my public speaking skills tremendously. Would recommend him to anyone! AG 33
There was no required textbook. Just 4 speeches that you really must prepare. He was a great professor that truly cared about building our confidence and public speaking skills. As long as you do the work and prepare well for your speeches, you will get an A. Speeches are posted through Youtube and are unlisted. He's great; take his course! SAM33
Mr. Wood was extremely understanding when it came to me confusing things (this was a lot, but it was NOT his fault). He was a quick grader and gave quick and thoughtful feedback. He always made it clear about what he expected, always keeping in mind that every student is different (which was what I loved). Would take him again, and AGAIN! LC-33
Very clear as far as expectations. Do your homework and speeches by the rubric he gives you and you will get an A. He gives a lot of feedback so that you know what areas you need to improve on. I was dreading speech class, but this professor really made it painless for me. CT33
Professor Wood is an amazing teacher. He really cares about his students and wants the best for them. As far as, his work being easy or hard depends on the individual. I've learned a lot of things that would help me in the future. Overall, I really enjoyed taken this class and I would absolutely recommend this class to other students. D.D 33
Dr. Wood is awesome! I was not excited about taking Speech, especially online, but he was really good! I learned so much. He is very understanding when it comes to late work. He doesn't expect anything from you that he did't teach. If you have a busy life I would recommend taking his Speech class, for all of the work is spread out. JNS -33
Professor Wood, is one of the most patient and knowledgeable Professors I have come across. He took the time to explain in depth my assignments that were posted. I called during his office hours and he called me right back and gave me a walk through to make sure I understood the assignment. The work is easy just do it and you will pass. So easy A!!
Professor Wood, is the most interesting class and I learned so much. He is very patient and he returns calls and emails promptly. The class has 4 speeches, 9 discussion boards and a few outlines the book is online. Do the work and you will pass his class no doubt. He is very supportive and understanding. Please take him you will not be sorry. TD-33
Professor Wood is an excellent professor. He gives great feed back and always responds to emails in a timely manner. He is a very fair grader and is very clear on what he expects. If public speaking does not come naturally to you, he will definitely encourage you and make you a better public speaker. LH 33
Who doesn't want to turn in their assignment and get your grade back by the same or next day? He holds the record for quickest response time to any of my emails or grading of any professor. He will exceed your expectations by providing constructive and positive feedback. If you want to be taught by the best, then he's you Professor! KIM(33)

I was not excited to take a speech class and generally don't care for online classes in general. Professor Wood made this a painless process. He was very fair and clear on his expectations. Also there wasn't a lot of pointless busy work. Would definitely recommend him and the class. M.L.G-433134
This was the last class I took before I completed my AAdegree because I am petrified of public speaking.

I really enjoyed Professor Wood's class, he let you do the speeches on your computer if you want, and he gives really good feedback; I definitely recommend the class. CRC
Professor Wood is a must take!! He works so well with his students to make sure they pass with A's. I have a huge fear of public speaking and he knows that most students struggle with it, but he is fair and grades you very well. If i have to take another speech class i will sign up for his class. MK
This class is pretty straight forward. Prepare to record yourself doing speeches if you are taking the course online. He gives great feed back as well which helps!
Professor Woods was very informative and helped you with anything when you needed. also his feedback was great told you exactly what you needed to hear . AF , 433135
He was very clear on all of the expected work. Did not require you to show up to class, as long as you submitted everything on time. Graded everything quickly most of the time and provided good feedback. Graded your assignments fairly as long as you put in the effort. LR5S

I not only recommend this course, but would take another course with him. KW 08
He grades real fast n has no punishment for late work
Professor Wood was and still is one of my favorite professors from FSCJ. He's very kind, and will work with you if you have a probelm; all you have to do is talk to him and he will help you. Professor Wood responds to emails, and calls within the day, and grades very quickly, but fairly. If your nervous about speech class, no worries ! JR-433135
Professor Wood is excellent; he responds in a timely manner. If you follow instructions, you will have a great semester. I'm not saying that it is easy but it is not hard. You do not have any test, four speeches to do and as you do these speeches, you will feel more comfortable. He loves more detail on Discussion Board. I respect him. SP73
He was great! Thank you Mr. Wood! AH73
Enjoyed this class more than expected. Prof Wood was clear about requirements and gave great feedback. 4 speeches, 8 DBs, a couple outlines and bibliographies. Course load is manageable, grading is fast and prof responds within a day or two to questions.
I really had a tough time choosing a teacher to take my online course for then i stumbled on this teacher and looked at his ratings for ratemyprof and said.."hmm, seems to good to be true" but I took a shot anyway and I was very pleased on how the class turned out. Prof Wood was pretty clear on the assignments, fair on grades, highly recommend ER73
Professor Wood is probably the most responsive and attentive professor I've had out of UNF and FSCJ. He is very quick at grading and always gives feedback. Overall, great communicator with plenty of examples so the expectation is clear. I would take again!

Professor Wood was a pleasure to have for public speaking. There is not a lot of work and he is very understanding if you get behind on stuff. 4 speeches, 7 discussions and a few other assignments related to the material. No book needed and no tests in this class. I would highly recommend Prof Wood! He gives the best feedback out of any professor.
I was very nervous to take a speech class but professor Wood made it a really fun experience. You do an intro speech and 3 other speeches that you record and post to youtube. There are also a few discussion boards that were very easy to complete. I highly recommend taking this class!! (AJ71)

There are so many great things I could say about Professor Wood. He's generous, encouraging and inspiring.

Such a great person! Blessings! (AP33)
I have never been a fan of public speaking, but professor Wood made this enjoyable and easy to get through, especially since it was online. Follow the calendar of activities and get your work in and you'll pass! I wish I had him as a teacher for all of my classes! RM33

I was real worried to take this class because I don't like speaking in front of people. The fact that we are able to record our speeches and put them on YouTube really helps.

Professor Wood is an awesome professor and I am definitely glad I took his online public speaking class. I took the 8 week course and there was a total of 4 speeches and 9 discussions. If you need to take public speaking I highly recommend that you take this class with professor Wood. You won't regret it he is AWESOME! MK22
Professor Wood is an amazing professor. I had a fear of standing in front of a crowd, but this class taught me to overcome that fear. If anyone is looking for a good public speaking class, this is the one! There are no surprises, and all the information is posted on blackboard from the very first day. Highly recommend. HP10
I was excited to find an online speech class, which sounds like an oxymoron. There are 3 required speeches, regular discussion boards, a few smaller research type assignments, textbook is needed, but is cheap! Professor Wood really works with you if you have something come up and need to turn it in late, plus he grades quickly with feedback! NJ10
I was very nervous about a speech class but I luckily came across this professor and he made this class easy and interesting to learn. Great feedback, great class, great teacher! I would definitely recommend Professor Arnold A Wood Jr. :) JV10
Professor Wood really has a way of teaching. He is very flexible and wants you to pass the class as long as you put in effort. Professor Wood has helped me in realizing the need for an education and has made it fun to learn and easy to speak in public. This class is a 10/10 recommendation and wish to have more professors like him.
He is good!!!!!!!
I would recommend this Professor to someone who needs a Speech credit. Great Professor, I took his class online and when I email or message the professor he always message back with great advice on how to correct something and give second chance to approve our grades. Yes I would definitely take Professor Wood's class again. Awesome Speeches!!
He is a great professor. Definitely recommend him for online class! Very easy class.
Professor Wood was super nice and pushes you to be great in his class. He wants you to pass and gives you every opportunity to succeed! If you failed, 9x10, you deserved it!
My teacher was very nice. He gave good feed back on my speeches. He made it easy to present my speeches without feeling intimidated by being on camera. I would definitely recommend him if you are scared about doing a speech class. AT10
Professor Wood is a great professor! He responded to any questions I had via email in a timely manner. If you read the syllabus and follow the criteria in the rubrics you should pass with flying colors. I would recommend that anyone who needs to take a speech class, but has a fear of public speaking like me, to take his course. AB18
I have a huge fear of public speaking so I decided to take this class online. Best decision ever! Professor Wood is great, always has quick responses and offers a helping hand if you need it. You do need to find 5 people to watch your speeches (Three total) which was tough but other than that this class was definitely one of my favorites.
Best decision ever taking this course online! Professor Wood was great. He responds back in a shorty amount of time compared to other professors. I have always been scared to stand up in front of my class mates and speak to them about any kind of topic. That's why i took this class online. cj22
Prof Wood was amazing, this guy will make sure you are going to pass his class he will go above and beyond to help you out. He always responds to emails. I honestly wish he was able to teach every subject.
