I had him for a telecourse and he was very fair and helpful.
No Comments
He's really wonderful, I think he's one of my best English tutors, I ever took. Thank you god!!!
This was a telecourse, and I really enjoyed and learned a lot from Wood. His criticisms were very helpful. He also teaches English but I did not have him.
Great professor--knows his stuff and knows how to teach it.
mr wood is a great teacher I had him for a tele course in literature. And his work was very simple to understand.
If you show up, pay attention, and give half an effort, you'll get a good grade. If you have a problem...ask and he'll help you find the answer...not a hard class, but not an "easy A" either...the best english professor on campus
HE IS AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR. HE IS HELPFUL AND WILL WORK WITH YOU. HE WANTS TO SEE HIS STUDENTS SUCCEED AND HE IS VERY PERSONABLE.
I had Mr. Wood for LIT telecourse he was quick to respond to all emails and very helpful.
Easy class I think everyone should take him for english, easier then any high school class I had
I have Mr. Wood for speech. He is a great professor. YOu will have a lot of confidence in your speaking after this class. He is just an all around great teacher and extremly nice guy, it seems that he will do anything to help you.
the best, made speech fun and not just an easy A course but a learning experiance
He is a wonderful teacher and will work with you if needed. He is very understanding and is a cutie pie..
Film as art class. Excellent very nice. Can tell he cares about students and teaching. Nice.
I had him for Film as Lit and he was great. Fun class, really cares about teaching. He will make you want to be a better student
He is a terrific professor who taught me how to write research papers. He is helpful and willing to work with you on your problem areas. Because of his teachings I always get great grades on all my research papers for any class I need to write one.
I had him for Lit 2000 telecourse. I was dreading the class. He is awsome. he responds to e-mails very quickly. He is very very helpful. It isn't a automatic A but if you do the work, you should have any problems. I leared a lot.
took the telecourse, very frustrating to have syllabus on his website state different dates from what was actually on distance learning website. Some short stories/poems not noted to be on exam showed up anyways. very frustrating overall. Peaceful Teacher, thank heavens one of us was calm.
Professor is the greates. He is a very understandng. He is a student's greatest teacher. I would advise anyone taking an Enc class take him I got an A in his class!!
People take this guy because he's ridiculously easy, not because he's a great teacher. This class is extremely long and BORING. He is a serious hippie peace/love guy, and is shows through in his teaching. Very easy to get an A and learn NOTHING. No in-class tests at all. A joke of a "college" class.
hiz (my 'ez' key doezn't work today) expectationz are clear and if you are perzon who lovez to write and read he'z awezome!!!!!!!
Mr. Wood is a fun loving hippie whose ideas and beliefs were not pushed upon you what so ever. He has clarity and insight. One of the best ENC teachers at south campus. I recieved an A+
Mr Woods is so awesome. He's easy and cool. He's so laid back. You do have to write a lot, but its fun. I love his teaching technique. He's awesome, and I will def. take him for ALL my english classes.

you r the best teacher i have in college. u r really understanding and help me out. thanks for all your help. this is between " you and I " lmao.. j/k
Very fun and interesting class. I learned so much about movies, etc. I can never watch a movie the same way again. He is the best teacher I have taken. He is very nice and will help you out when needed. I have learned more from him than any other teacher. If you rate him bad, than you are just lazy or a total retard! TOOTLES all.
This was a great class, anyone who is a busy person should take this class. I took the cd course and it was easy! He is so nice and cares about his students very much! Everyone should take him!
I think Professor Wood is an excellant teacher. He cares about his students and goes out of his way to help to make sure you understand what he is saying. He genuinely cares about what he does and portrays this to his class. He makes each class interesting,I totally enjoy going to class.
Prof Wood is awesome. He gets back to you on questions in a 24 hour turnaround time. He is very open and understanding. Definitley keep the lines of communication open with him and he will guide you through the class. He is great and if I could (had to)I would definitely stick with him.
veryt good professor, fun class, got A , he is far professor. Take home quizes ,and 4 essays
This class was fun and very interesting! I learned so much about film. Prof. Wood is a very energetic and knowledgable instructor. I will never watch another film without thinking of Professor. Wood. You have to take the class to understand where I'm coming from! If you like movies take this Professor.
I liked Mr. Wood. He is a great teacher. Film is an easy class. The open book quizzes you take home are a pain, but once you do that and your 4 papers, it's all but movies. Take a night class if he offers it that way your movie doesn't get cut because the time is over. We did an hour of lecture (sleep) and then watched a movie, then went home. Take
you are a great professor keep up the great work, and you look good in those island shirts.
coolest teacher ever!!!
Wow! Professor Wood is an awesome teacher. Very very helpful, very laid back, and last but not least, VERY sexy. 17 years my elder, but I would absolutly date him. Thanks Professor Wood for all your help. I loved your class.
very cool understanding prof! really easy doesnt bs!
Prof Woods is awesome. I had to take an incomplete because of work but he worked with me to help me get through everything. At one time I had given up and decided to fail the class and take it over but he pushed me so that I wouldn't waste my money. I took this online so you have to watch the programs. He answers questions and makes things clear.
Mr.Wood is a great teacher. He was extremely helpful. Just make sure you turn your papers in on time and you can easily make an A or B if they are done properly. I recommend this professor to any students that need to take Enc1101 ;-}!
This class was great! He clearly explained what was expected, was fair and helpful! I learned alot and had fun!
Highly recommend taking his classes. He is clear on what you will be covering, what the assignments are, when they are due, and gives you a variety of topics to write about. He always gives feedback to help with future essays. He returns emails with hours, sometimes, minutes. Great all around!
Great Geat teacher he does not gread hard very easy.His own words is you have to work hard to fail in my class. I wish I can take him in another class is is just great.
Great guy! Very understanding and easy going. I was terrified to take speech but he made it very comfortable and fun. Highly recommend!
this class was the biggest waste on time
FORMERLY FIL1000 class. This class is amazing. I look forward to coming to this class. He lectures for the first hour and a half and we watch a movie and answer questions during the remainder. I love the book.. I love learning about movies (editing, photography, cinematography) I wish professors like this could teach every class! RECOMMEND!
Great instructor. I will take every classes he treachesthat I need! He will to what it takes to make you understand. He likes his job and cares a lot. He wants you to enjoy and have fun.I totally recommend him even to students that don't like to write.HES THE ONE TO PICK!
I highly recommend his class.. He makes sure that his students are having fun while learning. he is extremely helpful with essays. he checks draft essays and give some advice in how your essay be better. he replies to emails quickly, and he has a easy- going aura in his class, making it much interesting and fun. take his class it's worth it.
Amazing instructor, funny and forgiving, had him for speech and he is amazing for everyone that hates english and public speaking take him, also he is completly cool with people delaying speeches as well as other stuff but you will learn alot
I was scared to take speech and put it off. Professor Wood made it so easy. I wonder why I had such high anxiety about it. Keep all of your 1101 essays, you can use then for your speeches.Stay safe, stay dry, stay happy!
Wonderful teacher! Extremely helpful and really cares about his students.
Professor Wood is an extraordinary professor that cares about the success and well being of all his students. He is also one of the best English professors at FCCJ and I would recommend all of his classes. I personally struggle with essays but with Proff. Wood's guidance I got an A in both my ENG1100 and ENC0021 classes I've taken with Proff. Wood
One of the best classes I've taken. Tells you from the start what is expected and helps you if you need it. You have to really mess up to fail this class, or even to get a C.
PRofessor Wood is great and I stongly suggest you take his class, any of them. He is fun and very passionate about his work!HE is the best.
easy class... attendance is not mandatory, im just not sure i learned anything from him!?! nice guy though!
Prof Wood is an awesome professor!!! I am planning on taking his speech class because he is so good. He doesn't make you come to class, but it's easier if you don't miss the lecture day. He is helpful and he likes to see his students succeed!!
I love this professor. He is very helpful and always willing to help. Great professor and would recommend.
Very helpful for those who want to learn and very easy for those who don't give a crap. He's fun and definitely very easy. I'm taking his speech class next semester. I would highly recommend him to anyone taking ENC1101.
AMAZING teacher,he is a very easy teacher only u have to do a few quizzes and one term paper.take him made an A
Prof Wood is a very charismatic instructor, who really wants his students to succeed. the class is not very challenging, and for the people who really fear public speaking, he really motivates you to just get up there and do it. awesome dude!
It is obvious that Prof. Wood cares about getting to know his students through their writing. He instructs students to "write what they know" and is EXTREMELY helpful in correcting all the grammatical errors of essays. The "hour to write an essay" mid-term and final sucked but it seems as though Prof Wood thinks so too & grades accordingly.
Mr Wood is an awesome teacher!!
Professor Wood is the most wonderful professor. He inspires his students and really cares about them succeeding. He is always there when you have questions or need help with your papers. He is the best professor that I have ever had. Take his class, you will not regret it!
Professor Wood provided timely, relevant feedback on my assignments with specific suggestions for improvement. All of my interactions with him were very personable (important in a distance learning setting). Professor Wood's passion for the subject and eagerness to help his students allow me to recommend him very highly.
Extremely good and caring Professor.
Prof. Wood is probably the most easy going profesor I'll ever know. He shows a movie and then asks that you blog about a certain element of the film on blackboard. This is a great class that you learn a lot in. Its something of an off-the-wall topic in college and is therefore quite refreshing.
He is a great teacher. He takes his time with each student individually. I highly recommend him.
Mr. Wood is a great teacher, I really enjoyed his class and I learned a lot, and it was fun.
This class is very easy as long as you do your essays on time..proffessor is always there to help you. He responds to stduent's emails quickly and always gives you feedbacks on how to improve your writing..It was actually a fun english class. Easy A.
Great teacher by far that I have had!! I deff recomend :)
I took his online and it was very easy as long as you write the essay by the dead line. You got 2 weeks to complete 1 essay.... He's his a bit of a funny sarcastic personality.. Reminds me of the guy from the tv show House. I was 2 weeks late on my mid term and he still let me make it up. I definately reccomend his class.
He is an amazing teacher. I am def taking him for my ENC 1101 this summer. Do your work and he will be there to help you whenever you need it.
Film CLASS TO UNDERSTAND MOVIES Let me just say he is well-rounded a good quality teacher. Heis entertaining and is realistic in what he requires from students. BEST THING SINCE SPREADABLE BUTTER!!! YOU WONT REGRET TAKING HIM
Awesome professor! Humorous, laid back, & helpful. This class was fun & easy- he gives all 8 quizzes to you together in a pack that you can do at any time w your book, & 2 easy papers based upon a movie of your choice. I definitely recommend him!
Even though this was totally on line. Assignments are not beyond the realm of getting it done.Its a snap.Even fun far doing school work. Prof was very timely with all assignment grading.Very positive with all work done. Helpful in all aspects of his teaching.I bet he would be great to sit for one/or any of his classes.Keep up the good work Prof
Great Professor! I was lucky to be a transient student here, and would recommend him to everyone! Only 5 short papers and 2 "timed".Prof. Wood was very attentive, had quick responses, and graded same day or by the following day. Along with his grades he provided comments for improvement not just the score. Arnold Wood is an asset to FSCJ.
Professor Wood is great! I loved this class. He is always willing to help and offer encouraging words. Yes, you'll have to write essays (7) but Professor Wood will critique your rough draft so you can make revisions before submitting each essay for a grade. Take Professor Wood, you won't be sorry.
THIS IS THE BEST PROFESSOR at fscj. If you have to take a speech class, he is the professor to take. I hated speech, but with his attitude and class structure I made it through! attendance is not mandatory, only on the day you give a speech. Fair graded, works with you. TAKE HIM.:D
Professor Wood is the best professor at fscj hands down. take him for speech! he is most helpful and makes it less stressful! As long as you try, he really helps you. No doubt about it, i recommend him to anyone who wants to take a speech, enc1101 or film. I'm taking him again!
Professor Wood is an amazing teacher. He is interesting, funny and extremely laid back. He is a cross between Hemmingway and Jimmy Buffet(without all the booze). His class consists of 8 quizzes that you have the whole semester to finish and two written papers on a movie of your choice. HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.
Prof Wood is a great teacher. He lets you know when he receives your work and gives you helpful feedback too so you areas to work on. Prof is laid back and sends out reminders to make sure you are on track. I would highly recommend him. =)
This is the best professor I've ever had! Grades quickly, great feedback and makes the class enjoyable. I would recommend him to everyone I know!
VERY PLEASING!! These were one of the grade criteria he used from doing a great discussion board.Now,I'm using the same criterium for him. Professor Woods is very pleasing to take as an instructor.I like his online class structure,by having all work posted ahead for students who want to finish in advance.BEST INSTRUCTOR EVER!!!!!! FALL 2010
Great Proffesor would take him again very helpful and can work with your schedule although dates are kinda confusing.
This is the best professor EVER!!!!! he is so good at teaching English and he really helps you out!!!! I took him last year and this is my second time taking him! its sad that he will be retiring after this year!!!! Not to mention that he is Handsome!! haha
Great professor. Does not care at all about any attendance as long as you do the essays. grades essays in around an hour every time and emails back almost instantly all the time. Highly Recommend.
Although I was quite nervous at the beginning of speech class, with Professor Wood's guidance, I became much more confident and successful by the end of the semester. I found his online class to be interesting and enjoyable as he seems to truly care about the success of students. Professor Wood is constructive, kind and a credit to his profession.

Great professor. I was very nervous about this class at first, but with professor woods guidence, he explained the material and helped me understand what needed to be done. The class is very easy. I got an A.
Great professor who is very prompt about returning grades (1 hr or less most of the time). I took the online course and read the book he suggested, looked at the essay models he posted on BB and I made an A. It was a great class!
I've take Professor Wood for three courses so far, he is the best teacher at fscj! Very helpful and always grades your work fast, he really wants you to succeed! Highly recommend taking him!
Prof Wood is an AMAZING and AWESOME teacher! I have taken ENC1101 and now SPC2017 with him. He is quick in grading and always provides useful feedback. He truly cares about his students and will go out of his way to make sure you succeed. I would highly recommend him to anyone nervous about speaking for the first time. The experience was great!
Mr. Wood's class is very easy. He really doesn't believe in giving bad grades as long as he knows your trying and you include whatever he ask of you in your essay's! He is an awesome teacher! Very engaging (and you don't even need a book) Too bad he's retiring the end of Fall 2011 Term :(
Wonderful Professor. Lets you have several days after the due date for papers(2) total. Gravy class. Watch a film every class. Quizzes/Tests answers are right out of the book. All around great class and professor
This was Professor Wood's last semester of teaching, and I have to say that he was a great teacher! He was very laid back and lenient with me. He sees greatness in everyone and encourages you to succeed. Altogether he is one of my favorite teachers so far.
SUPER SUPER EASY!!! Best writing teacher EVER! He is very helpful, he can always make you laugh, and he definitely makes writing FUN!!! He always has funny stories to tell in class!! THIS IS THE BEST WRITING/ENGLISH YOU CAN GET!!!
Professor Wood is an awesome teacher!!!! The class was non-intimidating and he give out almost all "A's." Professor Wood is also very laid back, and great to talk to. I would recommend this class to anyone!!!!! P.S. I am giving him a chili peper per his request
Professor Wood is AMAZING! He is very helpful and a great professor. He grades tough, but he loves a good essay. He gave out his cell number and I utilized it. He was fun to talk to and made the semester much easier. I definitely recommend him.
Professor Woods is AMAZING, I loved every bit of his class he helps teach you writing and is not harsh at all. We gives great feed back responds in a timely manner if you want an easy laid back class with an AMAZING teacher this is the class for you.. Its fun and everything is paced great so you don't have to rush!
Professor Wood was absolutely wonderful. Being my first online course, I was a bit hesitant, but he welcomed me with assurance that I'd would do great. He was always available to answer questions and the coursework was black and white. I highly recommend this professor.
Professor Wood is a scholar and a gentleman. A good teacher to help you stay on course and answer any questions. I didn't read the syllabus clearly and had missing assignments. Professor gave me the opportunity to complete needed assignments with a respectable grade on assignment. Overall - GREAT PROFESSOR!
His instructions are clear and precise and he give very good feedback. If you follow the instruction, you should be able to get an A
He is an amazing professor! This is my second class with him and he is just awesome! He is very clear in what he wants from your speeches and/or essays, and he is very intelligent in what he does! You will learn some great life skills in his class too! TAKE HIM!! I got an easy A in both classes with him!!! TAKE HIM! You won't regret it!!!
Professor Wood is great with the online coarse he didn't make things difficult to understand and responds rather quickly to grades and emails. In order to fail his class you just don't care enough to do anything. He is very helpful and laid back. I would love to take him again.
Professor Wood is one of the best professors I've ever had. He's easy to talk to, funny and makes you look forward to class. The first half of Intro to Film was lecture/discussion and in the other half we watched a movie. All of our quizzes were open book and we only had two papers to write. I recommend his class to everyone!
Going into this class, I wasn't very confident. I've never been good at public speaking. Professor Wood made this fun. I've gotten a lot better with speaking to a crowd. He is an awesome teacher, and leaves good feedback on your grades. Four speeches and some discussion boards. I highly recommend taking his class!
Prof Wood was amazing! He took time to answer all of my questions and help me when needed. Prof Woods cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. If you fail, it truly is your own fault. Awesome, I would definitely suggest taking this class!
I took Professor Wood for Intro to Film in the summer & Speech in the fall. I enjoyed both classes very much! He's an amazing professor, definitely one of my favorites. He makes coming to class a joy with his sense of humor & easy going nature. He gives great feedback on papers & speeches. I learned a lot from him & would recommend him to anyone.
It was an extreme pleasure to have taken Professor Wood public speaking course. This guy knows what he is doing and you can tell that he actually enjoys teaching. I would not say that he is easy because it is doubtful that you will receive a 100 on a speech, but he is very fair. I highly recommend this instructor.
Took the all online SPC2608 class. What a great decision! If you need public speaking please take this class, you wont regret it! You need a camera to record yourself giving the speech. If you don't have 5 people watching you, its ok. He doesn't care about how many people are in the audience. I got an A+ and it was super easy! TAKE THIS CLASS
This is my second online class and by far it was the best. He will give you a fair grading, and if you are wiling to work and A you will get.
Professor Wood, is an excellent teacher. He really looks out for everyone that comes through his class, and he is always trying to help. I missed a few assignments and he sent me emails after emails pushing me to turn the late work in. His class is not an easy class, you will have to participate but he is always looking to help you out and pass. TG
I will be honest, this class was pretty tough. However; professor Wood seems to care about his students and you can tell he loves what he does. I personally don't like to read all that much, but if you do, I'm sure you'll enjoy this class! AH
Professor Wood was very positive and always gave feedback of submitted material. I would recommend Prof Wood for anyone who is taking an online speech class. -AS
I took this class online. its and Enjoyable class. And by that, i mean Mr. Wood makes it enjoyable. I'm not on who usually enjoys Literature. But he makes things interesting and the assignments aren't overly difficult. They do encourage you to think. I would take him again
Prof Wood is very fair to the active learner. He is clear on assignments and gives very good feedback to aid in your learning. I am a communications major so the class and instruction were very important to me. Highly recommend to anyone who needs this class- esp. the online curriculum. KB
This was an amazing class to take as a full time employee online! Everything is spaced out very nice and evenly and the notes for the assignments were easy to follow. If you read what to do in the entirety you wont need to ask for help the whole time! He grades honestly so you have to actually y on the work which is not a bad thing. recommended!-JH
Professor Wood is a great teacher! This class, while much shorter than a usual class, was easy to follow and materials are easily understood. He responds to emails quickly and is incredibly understanding. I would most definitely recommend Professor Wood!
Prof. Wood is very flexible. He will do everything he can to help you not only pass his class but also make a good grade. He would provide you with the necessary material that is needed for his class, which means that no book was required for the class. I would love to take another class with him. L.A
Professor Wood gets very involved with the class even though its online. He gives good feedback on speeches so that you know how to improve on future ones. 4 total speeches, discussion posts, outlines, annotated bibliographies, and self-reviews. I would recommend this online course to others looking for an online speech class! 33AH
Very clear as far as grading goes. He gives you the rubric for each assignment so that you know exactly what to do to get an A. Gave lots of feedback so that you knew what you had to improve upon. I dreaded speech class, but he made it painless.

Professor Woods is a great teacher, he is easy to get into contact with, and is always willing to help if you need it. There were a few times I couldn't get an assignment done on time and he was great with letting me turn it in the next day. He gives amazing feedback that really helps guide you through the course. - VA 33
Professor Arnold is amazing, very helpful. I used to be very scared about speaking in front of people, but he makes it very easy for people to feel comfortable. Gives feed backs right away so you know what you did wrong. Only 4 speeches and they are easy. I definitely recommend this professor. MR 81
Professor Arnold was really good at providing feedback. He graded my work very quickly and always left a comment on my work. He was very fair in grading my work and I felt I deserved every grade I received. - AL 35
This was a touch semester for me, I lost my grandmother and was having a hard time dealing with it, but Professor Wood really helped me survive this semester. He was encouraging, helpful and had such a positive attitude. If it wasn't for him I never would have survived this semester. You obviously have to do the work but he is a great teacher SM35
Professor Wood is a great professor. He is very understanding that people have a life out of school that includes a full time job. He is very fair with his grading as well. He responds to emails very very quickly! I would say that it is an "easy A" if you do the work. There is quite a bit of work but manageable. LA - 35
Professor Wood was one of my favorite professors this semester! The work load is manageable and gives you plenty of time to do it. Discussions were interesting and the speeches weren't so bad either. Very fair at grading and is there for you whenever you need him. Very understandable professor with a positive attitude. Would take again! BK81
Professor Wood is very understanding. Let him know your situation, and he will do his best to work with you. The class saved me money because there were no books required. He provided everything on blackboard. He gave examples of assignments to be turned in. His instructions are detailed and clear. You must do the work to pass. RV35
Mr Wood made this class very manageable and was very flexible with turning in assignments. If you're not the greatest with public speaking he's your guy. Assignments are clear as can be 4 speeches it was a very insightful class and i'd take it again. -A.S. 68
Chillest professor ever. He'll give you feedback of what he wants to see from you. You have to literally try to fail this class. Speeches assigned are your pick, you never have to do a speech of something you have no interest in. JT81
Professor Arnold was a great teacher. He gives great feedback and is available anytime. I really enjoyed this class and thought that it was going to be a hard class to do online given it was speech class. It was a great class and Professor Arnold is funny. TJ35
this class was amazing the teacher is helpful with each individual speaker and is a good source for gaining new info BG81
Great professor no other way to describe it
One of the most down to Earth professors I've ever had. Incredibly caring and a great professor on top of that. You can tell that he genuinely loves to teach and loves where he works. I would recommend his classes to anyone! RM SP2608
Professor Wood was excellent, he responds in a timely manner and if you follow instructions you will have a great semester. I'm not saying that its easy but its not hard. You do not have any test, only speeches to do and once you do those you will feel more comfortable. He has my respect and I wish there was more Professors like him. SB SPC2608
Easy A.
Professor Wood was awesome! His instructions were clear and he was always there to help. Responds fast and spaces the work out well so you are not overwhelmed while taking other classes.
Professor Wood is amazing. He responds and grades very quick and loves his job. He is willing to accommodate and work with his students which makes him a great professor. Wish I could have him for every class. MP 73 SPC2608
I would take Prof Wood again! Quick/ fair grader. Responds in a timely manner, gives great feed back, no book required, 4 speeches, weekly DB, easy work. RG73 SPC2608
Over a great professor. I highly recommend you take him. He has a fair amount of work and grade quickly. SPC2608 DD73
Professor is a great professor. We have 4 speeches. All are pretty easy as long as you do the work. He really cares about his students and expects you to care about your grades. Take him, you won't regret it! (TB21)
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! SU72
You will not go wrong taking this professor. Do the work and you will make a good grade. You have to do all 4 speeches or you will not pass. This professor is a fast grader. He responds quickly to emails. You should definitely take this professor.
I was worried of taking a speech class online but Professor Wood made all my worries go away after starting his class. I think this course is my best online class I've taken so far. I highly recommend him if you need to take a speech class! You have 4 speeches you HAVE to do, 8 discussions, 2 annotated bibliographies, 2 outlines. TAKE HIM!!! KN73
For being a online speech class, Professor Wood made sure I picked up a few good tips and improved. He was great about giving feedback on all of your assignments. As long as you do your work, you will be just fine in this class. (KC73)
Arnold Wood is an great professor who cares about his students. He see the potential in his students and encourages us to see it ourselves. He responds to emails at a great pace, and will answer questions having to do with the course, to ensure understanding. The grade you get is what you deserve, so do the work! CG81
Professor Wood is a great professor. Sometimes we as students need a reminder that there is professors out there that are rooting for us to succeed, Professor Wood is one of those professors. He is willing to help in any way possible. He has helped build my confidence in public speaking. I would take him again.
This Professor is awesome! You have 4 speeches total and youre required to do all four! He is a fast grader. He responds quickly to your emails. You definitely need to take this Professor. Do everything he ask you to do and you should have no problem with making an A. CL33
Do your speeches and put some tim ein your discussions and you will pass with an A. Great Professor! NV33
Great Professor. I would definitely take him again. Fast and fair grader. Responds to email right upon request. Totally worth it taking this class with Mr. Wood :)
Professor Wood is without a doubt one of the best teachers for public speaking. I have crippling anxiety and thought I would bomb this class, but he made me very comfortable and gave amazing feedback so I knew exactly what to work on and how to better myself. Very understanding, open to late work, offers extra cred, would definitely recommend. CH52
Professor Wood is one of the best teachers that I have taken while in college. He offers wonderful feedback on assignments and responds to emails in a quick manner. Participation is key in his class. If you do the work and try your best, he will notice and grade accordingly. I'm glad I chose to take him for this course! CH19
This Professor is awesome! You have 4 speeches total and youre required to do all four! He is a fast grader. He responds quickly to your emails. You definitely need to take this Professor. Do everything he ask you to do and you should have no problem with making an B. Ab33
loved the class and the professor! I would definitely recommend him with no doubt.
Great guy, taught me a lot.
prof Wood was awesome, funny, great teaching. After speech 2 you would be comfortable speaking in front of audience. NH18
One of the best online professor's I have ever had! He doesn't overwhelm you with work and you only have 4 speeches. He's also very understanding and as long as put in effort he is not a harsh grader. Do the work, and you will surely pass with an A. I dreaded taking this class because of my anxiety but he made it easy, even for an 8 week class MLH
Mr. Wood is awesome! Never before have I came across such a caring teacher (especially not an online one). He's always available for email and responds pretty quickly, too! He also gives amazing feedback for every assignment you turn in, and makes you really feel taken care-of. I would definitely take his class again!
Taking Mr Wood's class for Public Speaking was the best decision I've made this year in college! He's super caring and very, VERY awesome at giving feedback! He'll give you pointers on how to improve on every speech , while also highlighting all the strong points! He's easily accessible through email and will reply in no time! CP98
One of the best professors I have had hands down. He actually cares about his students learning and growing. I gave this a 3 for difficulty because it was hard for me to stand up in front of people and speak. The class was helpful and I got through it!
Just finished Professor Wood's online class, and I very much enjoyed it. It's sometimes hard to make a connection w/your professor when you take an online class, but I found that he does connect w his students, and I also felt a connection to others in class. The class is not as easy as people might think it is! Don't leave work for last minute!

I held off taking public speaking for 3 years and taking this class made me wonder why. He is the best teacher Iv ever had and ever will have. He is extremely fair and you could not ask anything more of a teacher. He makes everyone feel comfortable and If I could I would take him for every single class. Highly recommend him without hesitation!!
I took the class for my first semester at this school and the teacher was amazing. He was able to work with me throughout the semester and the class was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this class and professor to anyone. -AT
Professor Wood is one of the best professor's I have ever had if not the best. He is extremely down to earth and easy to talk to. Your work and assignments are given in anticipation so you have plenty of time to complete them. I highly recommend professor Wood you will not regret your choice! - SV38
Professor Wood was great. He gives you lots of tips for you speech. 10/10 would take again PD10
Prof wood was a great choice for speech class! We had great discussion boards which helped to break the ice and be comfortable with classmates for giving speeches. His assignments are straight forward and he is always reachable by email plus he gives great feedback. You can work at your own pace by working ahead. Highly recommend taking him! BS10
Professor Wood is a great professor , mainly because he is very passionate about teaching or " developing minds" as he would say. He will go out his way to ensure that you understand and have the opportunity to succeed no matter what. He is lenient and very clea as to what he expects. I would definitely recommend professor woods.
Professor Wood is AMAZING ! This class was online and I was very nervous about it but Professor Wood makes it so easy and enjoyable. The work is not hard, it's quite a bit but each assignment prepares us for the speeches. Every assignment he provides you with great feedback. Please take Professor Wood, I promise you will not regret it ! TB10
Even though I only took this class online, I would've taken him for on-campus as well. He was a good grader and very understanding. This class was the easiest class and easiest way to get an A for the semester!
Professor Wood grade assignments in a timely manner and gives great feedback to enhance your progress week after week. I've taken several online classes however this is the first online class that the professor commented on each and every assignment which was a plus for me because it allowed me to better myself each week.

Professor Wood is an excellent teacher and gives great feedback. He is fair when it comes to grading and gives a good amount of time to turn in assignments. I highly recommend him! CJ10
This was a tough time for me during this semester! Professor Wood worked with me and allowed time for me to complete assignments . He actually cares about his students completing and passing his class .
The greatest teacher I have ever taken. I may actually take more of his classes. If you need a speech class take him. I did his online class :).
Best Professor! Professor Wood wants you to succeed and he makes sure that you get the best grade that you can get. He cares for his students and he gives great feed back. Turn in all the assignments. I appreciate all his kindness and concerns when it came to my grades and turning in assignments. I highly recommend taking his class!
Fastest grader at fscj by far. Do all the work and you should make an A
I took this class last year but forgot to write a review. I informed professor Wood of my extreme anxiety and he worked with me to overcome it. I dont think Ill ever have a better professor. Hes incredibly intelligent and kind. Take him if you have the opportunity! You will learn and grow. Youll want to go to class.
Prof. Wood was a great teacher. All of the learning content is posted online. He shares example work making it clear what is expected of you. Cares about your grade. I missed one week of discussion post and he emailed me to turn it in anyway for some credit. I was going to accept the zero. Do the work he assigns and you'll be good to go.
Best class Ive taken so far. One of the best professors to take! Have loved this class. This class not only helps you become a better speaker but gives you an opportunity to have very intellectual conversation. Non verbal communication was my favorite part. If you complete the work you should pass. He give you an opportunity to resubmit work.
This professor is by far one of the best ive had. From the start of the class he was caring and understanding. If I had the opportunity to take this class over I would. He was a easy grader. there was a clear expectation of what was need from you. a total of 4 speeches are required, He give you a broad topic and then lets you get creative.
This class made public speaking really easy for me and he gives a good amount of time to finish everything in the course! I highly recommend to take his class!
