Explains exercises well, is usually available for help during office hours, and is pretty nice.

Great teacher. She gives a ton of homework, but it was all worth it. I felt very prepared for the final because she emphasized what was expected. Hint: do ALL of the homework and go to class. (very important!)

She's very nice and helpful, but sometimes doesn't explain things well or confuses students.

Lots of homework, but it all pays off in the end when you take the common final. Good instructor, just pay attention and do the work

Alot of homework. The subject matter makes for difficult tests even though she explains the material very well. Very nice and supportive teacher.

HARD WORK. TOUGH GRADING. Very helpful and gracious. Attempts to make material easier with sometimes not so good teaching. Sometimes convolutes ideas and makes harder. Overall, you learn a lot.

Mrs. Wood is an awesome teacher. This is my 2nd time taking calc at the UA, and she is by far one of the best. She gives a riduclous amount of hw and is tough on grading, but it is well worth it. I've taking the calc final before and I know first hand that she more than prepared us to ace it.

ONLY take this class if you have already taken calculus otherwise you will devote your life to it and get a D or if your REALLY lucky a C. She assigns text work, worksheets and webassign as homework due everyday...more than any other teacher would assign. if you dont attend class you will fail!! tests are extremely hard and no curves

She assigns SO much homework but it comes in handy at the end of the semester because it buffers your grades a ton if you havent gotten the best scores on tests. All you have to do to get an A is do the homework and GO SEE HER if you dont get it. She loves students to come to her office hours and, guaranteed if you do get her help, you'll get an A.

She is really hard and really strict but you learn a lot and actually understand calculus. It's A LOT A LOT A LOT of work, but if you do it and study it is PASSABLE! she is nice and very helpful if you go into her office. YOU HAVE TO GO TO CLASS EVERYDAY or you'll lose a bunch of points!

Not so much hard, but rather just lots of work. This is the second time I've taken this class and is a way better teacher than the first one I had. She has really bad B.O. though.

Very good teacher. Very strict though, go to her office hours they help. It also helps to have previous calculus experience before taking this class. She knows what she is talking about and from what ive heard, is better than the other 124 teachers.

If you are an incoming freshman and she is your first math professor, switch out. You will be so overwhelmed with the amount of homework she gives and want to cry. So if this you first math teacher ever of college, do yourself a favor and switch out, unless you want to drown in homework your first semester of college.

it's really good teacher, i don't know why there are lot of students does not like her class.to be honest, cal 124 is not a easy, what a teacher can do? just teacher you, give you works and solve your questions, every steps wood do really good. right now this semester do not finish, but i already know my grade must A. just try to work hard.

This class was really difficult but if you do all the work at the beginning of the semester it gets much easier at the end. I visited her office hours weekly and it helped a lot. I had a high C the whole semester and ended up with an A at the end. Hard work does pay off!

Her class was insanely hard but if you attempt all the homework (3hr a day) and attend her office hours, she will pass you. I had to get a 81% on the final to get a C and only got a 70. She let me go on with a C with all the work I put into this class.

Difficult class with difficult grading. She gives a ridiculous amount of homework, but if u do it all you are well prepared for the test. She is very willing to help and attending office hours is very helpful. She also gives many small quizzes so it is possible to get a good grade after bombing a test.

Very helpful. Always available for office hours. Although TONS of hw is assigned, it is all totally worth. Success comes with practice. Do ALL the hw. Quizzes are given a lot to earn buffer points. Tests are very difficult but not impossible. I would recommend her. There are a lot worse profs out there. I'm glad I got Ms. Wood.

She is a great teacher, but you cannot be lazy. Tons of homework, but also extra credit opportunities. Always available if you need something and will actually explain the homework if you don't get it. Take this teacher.

Y'all are wrong. Mrs. Wood is a smart, kind, and approachable teacher. She does assign A LOT of work, but it is worth it in the end to prepare for the super hard final. She really shows that she cares for her students. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher if you're willing to put in the work to succeed.

Yes, Mrs Wood's class can be difficult, and her work can be overwhelming, but it is calculus. By doing her work, it prepared me for the tests and the final. You need the motivation and the initiative to go to see her in office hours to get help, which she gladly helps you with any questions. She really cares about her students. Take her class!

Mrs. Wood is a very demanding teacher. However, she works very hard to make sure her students do well. Some people mistake her for being rude, however that is just the manner in which she talks so just ignore it and get the help out of her that you need. If you work hard you will get the grade you want. She also posts exam scores the night of.

Mrs. Wood is amazing. I absolutely hated calculus and she made me understand it and even like it a little. The homework prepares you for ALL tests. The final was a piece of cake and felt like another homework assignment. She is nice and wants to help you. Work hard though and attend class. First A I had actually deserved in my college career.

Class is hard, alot of homework, for me it was at least 3 hours a day and sometimes 4 because i dint understand material. if you want to learn, she will be there for you.

Great teacher who assigns WAY too much work. She is a fantastic teacher who really does a great job at explaining math. I hate math and actually understood the stuff in her class. With that said, way too much homework and I fell asleep numerous times throughout her lecture.

She is a great teacher! She might be tough at the beginning but it all pays off at the end! I recommend her for sure!

I had taken calculus the year before this class, and during this class I learned some things about equations I did not know before. The biggest thing to complain about in this class is homework. Online assignments, written work out of textbooks, and worksheets. It was overkill, but her class was very helpful.

Mrs. Wood to me was an above average math teacher, comparatively speaking to the other math teachers in UofA. She got the point across over all her lectures, and she did make sure that people understood the material right. However, she assigns a lot of homework daily, at least 3 hours, and she grades pretty harshly on it.

Mrs Wood is fantastic. She is always willing to help. She is available for office hours at least 3 hours a day, and her lectures are logical and concise. If you have a lot of other time intensive courses, do not take this class with her. But if you plan to continue to Calc 2, she is simply the best.

A lot of homework! I always had to ask for help while doing the homework, but this helped me understand more the material. I am a B student, but because of so much homework I got a 93 on the final.

Good teacher. Lots of homework assigned, but popper help given. Do your homework and you will be fine.

She is a great teacher. Easy to understand her lectures and always willing to help you out even more outside of class. Super helpful Homework load is more on the hefty side, but it helps and compared to some other teachers, it's pretty good. And compared to other math teachers, she is amazing She actually teaches and makes progress unlike some...

Mrs. Wood is great! She is an excellent teacher and is very committed to her students. She is almost always available in office hours and will do what it takes to meet with students. She gives LOTS of homework, circa 3 hours a day, but it's all with a good intention in order to help practice. If you need a calc teacher she is the one for you!

A lot of homework, although doing it makes you understand the material far more. Ms. Wood is an excellent teacher. This is the first time I've actually enjoyed math class.

She sat down with me for two hours on the last day of class to go over my past exams that I did not do too well on. Go to class, do your homework - yes I know it's a lot. but if I can do it taking 19 credits, you can take the class too. She gives you a lot of practice, but how else are you going to know math?

Mrs. Wood is a fantastic teacher who really cares about her students. She does give a lot of homework, but it really helps you learn and isn't just busy work. Really knows her stuff and gives detailed feedback on all work. Also she goes out of her way to make herself available outside of class for you. You are lucky if you get her as a teacher.

Hard class but the professor was very clear and made sure no one was left behind in the criteria.

8am is hard! Starts out hard then it goes into mean, median, and mode then back to hard. There are 5 test and a project or two. If your in the Salt center the tutors are not much help. If you have the choice to take another math i would do so. If you do take this class make sure 2nd semester for a later time.

Mrs. Wood is the best professor I have ever taken. Unfortunately last year I took a year off of math so I struggled with the algebra and trig, but that being said she helped me become even stronger than I was. I hadn't taken calc before this semester and with a lot of work and taking advantage of her office hours its possible and the final is easy.

She also gives pop quizzes. She has amazing lectures and tests are easier than the homework. There is a lot of homework online. This professor is willing to work with you and has opened her schedule so that you can work with here. I wish she was teaching MATH 302A/B. I would def take her again.

Mrs. Wood truly cares about your success in her class. She offers office hours multiple times per week to help you work through the material, and that really helped me in this course. She assigns more homework than other professors, and it can be a bit tedious, but it helps you study for the tests. She also offers extra credit problems regularly.

She is hands down the best math teacher at UA. She is a pretty tough grader but she wants you to learn. She brought in donuts the last day of class and gave out prizes during the semester. She is a really nice lady. Before an exam on a Monday she had office hours all day the Sunday before -- only teacher Ive had with weekend office hours. THE BEST

I had Mrs. Wood for 122A which is basically a recap of high school algebra. We basically had 3 weeks to go over everything that we had learned over 4 years. She was very clear and helpful. There was a decent amount of homework but it was within reason. She really cared about our college experience. Brought donuts on the last day.

she explained really well and didn't try to make you feel dumb if you had any questions. the class is difficult if you have never taken calculus because i didn't take a real math class since junior year. but, if you have the experience already take her class, she was great at explaining and really wants to help her students.

Mrs. Wood was one of the best calculus teachers I've ever had. Yes she is known to give lots of homework, but it is only because she knows what it takes to be successful in the course. She's always available in her office so I suggest taking advantage of that for when you have questions. Hands down the best professor in the math department! 10/10

I took this last semester. Overall good math professor. She does assign lots of homework, but it correlates with the exams. The textbook wasn't used once, but still needs to be purchased to get the access code. Some days she takes attendance, and other days she doesn't or gives pop quizzes that counts as attendance.

Ms. Wood is a genuinely kind human being, but unfortunately teaches a cruel curriculum. Expect 3-5 hours of homework a night, ranging from worksheets, to textbook problems, to online homework. Cramming 4 years of highschool into a 4 week course is bound to be difficult, but you'll be prepped for the final (and 122B)

One of the most caring teachers I have ever had. She really shows how much she cares. A lot of homework but she is very fair about it. I wish I was in her class again this semester.

Very caring. A little sensitive and takes things too personally sometimes (like people showing up late). Overall really willing to help outside of class.

Professor Wood gets a bad rep because kids don't like math. I've had her twice. She CARES about you and your success. If this is your last math class, don't take her class. If you have future math classes to take, no one will set you up for success like her. She will improve all of skills as a mathematician. She's a tough grader because she cares.

She is the best math professor. She is very caring, encourages everyone to work hard, and helps everyone reach their goals.

Prof. Wood is a very good professor! She genuinely cares about her students and goes out of her way (bringing objects from home) to help students visualize the problem. There is honestly quite a bit of homework but she gives everyone multiple days to complete it. Go to office hours! One of the best math professors I have ever had!

She was my first professor in my college career and she really set my path to pursue engineering. She made a big deal about notation which instilled good habits that allowed me to succeed in future classes. She was willing to stay and help me outside of office hours constantly. She cares about her students and has a passion for teaching. Amazing.

Mrs Wood is a great math teacher!. She was very clear on what was expected in class. Some people hate that she gives 3 quizes a week but it only made you better at math. Come to class and you do good. She makes herself easy to get help in office hours. She also bring in treats for us sometimes! She was my favorite teacher this year!

I see a lot of bad reviews but she was a great teacher actually. She knew her stuff well and was rly good at explaining and cared abt whether you understood the concept or not. There's only a ton of homework because precalc is horrible and the teacher has to speedrun like 20 different topics in a single semester.

There are 3 exams, and a quiz almost every single day. The exams follow almost exactly as the notes and the quizzes. She does a very good job in teaching the material, she knows everything about what she is teaching, and she guides those in need of guidance. Homework is something that will definitely consume lots of your time.

I loved this teacher. She was always so sweet. The test weren't that hard in my opinion and were always easier than the study guide. The quizzes tended to be group quizzes so it was easy to get an A on them. She also drops a lot of bad homework and quiz grades at the end of the semester.
