He is just awful

Whatever is taught in lectures might not be what will come in the quizzes

Do not reccomend

He is the worst prof ever, doesnt teach anything

Very difficult tests and the exam was so confusing compared to what he told us was going to be on it

Honestly if you have the chance to switch into a section with a different prof I would recommend it. No matter how well you have reviewed the textbook or lecture there is always going to be a question or concept will be tested that has not been taught, and is not mentioned in the class. Also this course is based on theory, but is tested on math

Doesnt cover the important topics. Just rambles. I always would get 60s on his quizzes after studying for hours. Overall useless. Please fire him.

He is the worst prof I have ever had. His assessments do not relate to the course at all. He tries to make us fail. Overall, horrible.

He used to recycle midterms and finals but he changed the whole curriculum so our year was the guinea pig year. doesn't know how to teach. He used to be good until he got the position of associate dean. Don't take him trash

Rated "Hillarious" because it's Hillarious how badly this course was handled winter '22. Down-curve of 12%+ because all of the exams were unproctored and online. "Am I bLiNd To WiDeSpReAd AcAdEmIc DiShOnEsTy?!?!"

Terrible prof, terrible course. Pointless rambling not related to midterm/final in lectures, slides filled with completely pointless information. No practice questions, and tutorials with clueless TAs and ineffective activities. You'll probably get a decent grade due to the way the course is broken down, but don't expect to actually learn anything.

Not that bad but he gives questions that you don't actually learn.

Sour attitude regarding to this course's teaching assistants: Not telling TAs what to do on tutorial time, and the attendence is manditory but no one knows what is going on. Useless lectures and slides for studying (sometimes with errors). Better skipping lectures and discuss with your classmates or do research online yourself in order to succeed.

If there are other options for this class, just don't take with this prof!

jeff wood is by far the worst professor ive had at western university. He refuses to respond to emails regardless of urgency/importance. This year he posted a "midterm practice problems" with no solutions, incorrect multiple choice options, topics we've never covered, and repeated questions. He provides 0 insight into the course and is a nuisance

Jeffrey also does not release solutions to our previous tests meaning we can't even learn from the mistakes we make in his class. Lecture slides are practically useless meaning you will have to come to lectures where he'll ramble about stuff that will never be tested on. Possibly the only engineering professor more insufferable than john dickinson

Jeff Wood is probably the worst professor I ever had and i can possibly have. During lectures, he just yaps the whole period talking about his family. At this point i know more about his life than materials. It is clear he never prepares for lectures, and he does not care about his students. Ridiculously, he gets mad for us skipping his lecture.

Jeff Wood talks about his wife every class, and I am unfortunately not interested in his relationship status. If I'm doing a test and I think back to his lectures, I remember more information about his life than class content. If he tested us on his personal life, I would get 100%. However, the tests are about materials, so my mark is failing.

His lectures have no clear direction, often goes off topic, and rambles making it hard comprehend. He also refuses to post practice questions for quizzes saying "it would take forever to transfer questions to brightspace" basically "too lazy to do it". Like wdym you're too lazy to help us pass??? This guy really does not want us to suceed...

- Tested on material he gave us no practice for - Delayed grades due to miscommunication with TA's - Late posting of assignments more then once (including term project) - Would get massively off topic during lectures making them relatively useless - Has no textbook meaning there is no way to learn the content other then his crappy slides

Guy gets pressed for people not coming to class, however watching my 5 foot 2 dad mow the lawn is more interesting. His dedication to the class is in comparison to KD in OKC as in response to being asked about his mid term pq's he stated that he is aware that some of the questions have no correct answer and to figure it out by ourselves.

His ego gets in the way of his teaching. Oh, you guys don't want to come to my lecture? I'll take away your formula sheet for the next quiz. It's not his lecture that's the problem, it's the time of day, but the fact that he takes it out on us is inconceivable. smh

Lecture slides posted are different than in class ones. Gets mad when the class ends up skipping, and doesnt fully explain the content on the online slides to punish those who dont attend

wow this guy sucks. Every tutorial we wait for 30 mins cause he forgot to release the stupid assignment. he is so disorganized and should be avoided at all costs.

JT Wood should focus on actually preparing and testing students fairly. The tests are on material we have no practice for, practice for the midterm came with zero solutions and a follow up announcement saying "i know that there is some content that we havent covered in the problems, and that there are incorrect answers, but figure it out yourself"

This guy is genuinely the worst prof I've ever had. Really does not care about his class, on the first day he told our class that usually he'd provide us with practice questions for our tests, but he had lost the file with all of them so we wouldn't be getting any. I hate him. Doesn't provide a textbook either.

Wood should be avoided at all costs. Useless, unstructured, boring lectures. Slides posted are useless. No textbook used. Makes constant errors on brightspace.Rather than posting solutions to the few practice problems provided, he says "You are encouraged to work with your classmates to come to a consensus on the correct answers." Shows little care

Told students not to email him as he gets too many. The fact that he's associate dean of this program is disappointing because of his constant displays of laziness; constant mistakes on OWL, no solutions provided, incorrect slides posted. Section average is 13% lower than the section of a different professor, showing how bad his class is conducted.

WORST PROF IVE EVER HAD. Doesn't give us any practice problems. Posts the final exam outline A DAY BEFORE THE FINAL EXAM. I can go on for our hours but I have a final exam tomorrow that I need to study for. PLEASE FIRE HIM.

Final is in less than 12 hours, term project mark (worth 20%) still not graded. Yet another display of laziness from associate dean Jeffery Wood.

Bro does not wanna be teaching this course any more than any of us want to attend his lectures. Lectures are a snooze fest. He's never given a formula sheet that has all the formulas you need. In fact it's as if he gave us every formula you don't need for the quizzes. The TA's have no idea wtf is going on so they just let you cheat on everything.

Woods is truly inspirational, of all the bad professors at Western University, he's the only prof that's inspired me to spend time writing a review for how bad he is. His lectures are sub-par at best and he refuses to give us practice (despite us begging), the quizzes barely relate to the course content and he grades them like it's the MCAT

Until the very last day this guy shows just how lazy he can be. Provides incorrect solutions to a quiz 2 days before the final, and rather than correcting them clearly, just scribbled with red pen over the incorrect solution.

If its true that this prof was good 10 years ago, then the quote "You Either Die a Hero or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain" rings truer than ever. RIP Wood

He is the associate dean of engineering who is somehow incapable of teaching a class of first years. Some formulas not in his slides were required for the exam and practice problems. The exam had questions that were impossible to solve. He was lazy & unfair, concepts were not explained so we were just memorizing all semester, it felt pointless.

Honestly a disrespect to western engineering that the associate dean is Jeffery Wood. He clearly is super lazy, unmotivated and doesn't care for students. It's surprising, and frankly concerning, that someone in a leadership role isn't held to a higher standard. Western Eng deserves better.

Dude doesn't care at all. Better off studying 2hrs than 20hrs because he is going to pull random questions from anywhere he can find - even chatgpt if he cant find the test bank.

Why is he the associate dean? Lazy attitude to learning, yes he is a great guy and personable but many are paying their thousands for university to LEARN. This guy uses AI to make his practice papers and likely also the exam. I was so interested in materials until he took the course over. Ruined my chances and my interest. Hope he finds peace.

He's an evil man. He didn't give a formula sheet for a quiz because he was upset no one attended lectures. Not that it really matters, because 90% of formulas you need will not be on any formula sheet anyways. His final had questions that were, by his own admission, unsolvable with the amount of information given. There are no practice problems.

Lecture content and quizzes/exams are completely unrelated no reason to even go. The quizzes are unbelievably with questions he doesn't even know how to answer himself. The practise for the final exam and even the entire final exam itself was made with ChatGPT, multiple questions on the final had no answer and were unsolvable.

Included random bs on his midterm. nothing like before. would tell us something isnt on test and go on to put exact thing.

Terribly taught

meow meow meow meow meow

this dude is so baked he makes the most random midterms and will slime you in all assessments, his TAs might be as bad as him, they grade while playing with themselves and gave people marks who answered 67 for questions they didn't know. Don't even get me started on this dude enzhong jin bro was on za while grading assignment 1.

Its Jeff Wood bro. Bro sucks

Do you hate yourself? No? Give it three weeks. Wood's is a certified edger who lectures without a single clear takeaway. Thoughtfully provided formula sheets so you can admire them, because NONE of the formulas will be on the exam. All of this, courtesy of an associate dean and a $200k salary.

Prof cannot teach for his life. Buddy does not do practice problems in class and does not give us answer to posted problems on owl. Exams are unfair and hard for no reason. Buddy loves young modulus and polymers and cannot teach for his life even though hes the dean of engineering.

not great at teaching and no practice problems in class but exams are all practice problems. Also doesn't post answers to practice problems online and requires you to find out the answer.

You'd think that an associate dean would be an okay professor, but he is unable to stay on topic, lacks core slides in lecture notes, and makes his exams on content that is not covered at all by the lecture slides. Concepts are hard to learn with his poor slides lacking context, and even harder with his poor quality lectures. Never again.

This guy does not teach in class.He goes on side tangents and asks if anyone has a question every minute. Has 3 slide long slideshows that do not teach you the concepts. Midterms were unlike anything ive ever seen before, on the second midterm not a single formula on the formula sheet was usuable. Dont go to this guys class, youre wasting ur time

Jeff would might be the greatest professor of all time...if being a good professor meant rambling off topic for half of his lectures. AND hes def got a thing for young's modulus or something. Overall skip his lectures, value your sleep and don't even acknowledge the fact that there's a formula sheet. THEY WONT BE USEFULL. Also material selection :(

Cant say ive ever had a worse teacher. dont bother showing up to this guys lectures. He puts diagrams form the 1800s on the board and doesnt even know whats going on. This guy loves taking questions but never answering them. brutal

He edged young's modulus for 2 months only to define it as stiffness. Formula sheet had NO FORMULAS. I stopped coming in the morning to the point my bus driver called to ask if I was alive. The TAs were useless, aggressive and marked like every mark taken was a extra $1000 for them. Content was like LeBron's career, with no clear endpoint in sight.
