Woods is awesome. The class is work, tough essay topics, but fair grading. Watch movie classics on the big screen for class, meet once a week. Woods used blackboard, told funny stories, related to students, got us thinking, caused us to see film in a new way. Totally worth the time! Awesome teacher, wish I could take from him again...made an A.

Great instructor, interesting class, definitely recommended

honors american pop culture class is freakin awesome! very fun

Fun and interesting class on Native American Cultures. Took the class to learn more about my heritage and other tribes heritage as well. Pretty easy class and very interesting. He is a great teacher as well and very articulate. He likes food nights too!

i've taken all of his Native American Studies classes and i wish there was more to take. he is a really good teacher. makes the classes interesting. lots of work but fair.

Class was pretty cool. Woods makes you think about pop culture in ways I never thought of. Mixes msic, TV, film, advertising with philosophy, sociology, politics. Definitely need to keepu p with reading. Exams easy enough. Based on reading. Portfolio fun to do but I should of talked with him about how to do what he wanted better. Cool prof

native american spiritualities was one of the coolest classes i've taken at TCC. he is very respectful of the traditions covered. it helps that he actually lives what he teaches. he is a stompdance leader, a sundancer and catholic. exams are easy maybe too easy but he seems more interested in class discussion

Native American Spirituality was a fun and very informative class! He definetly knows his stuff, very smart individual! He interacts with the class and answers ANY questions you have! His tests are very easy, but he is mostly concerned with class participation and lecture. Mr. Wood ROCKs!!

great guy

Hollywood's America is the best online class I've ever taken maybe best class ever. Woods brings it like crazy. The online discussions are totally awesome! The way he thinks can change your mind about things. I'll never watch movies the same way. I wish he taught more online.

Lit drama film turned out to be one of my favorite classes. The stories assigned were really interesting not at all what I expected. The films were great. Stuff that youwould never see anywhere but Woods's class. He is a great teacher and he is pretty laid back. Do the reading and participate in discussions online and in class. No tests just

This class was wicked cool! Woods really makes you think about stuff younormally take for granted. Lots of reading to keep up with but closterman book is off the hook. Myspace assignment is cool. Nice prof funclass

one of the best classes I ever had! Uses film as examples. audio files are very helpful, even with british guys accent. Woods is very passionate about it all.

Hollywood's America changed my life and so has this Professor. I have never met a more articulate and intelligent person. I have never been challenged to think in this manner especially where films are concerned. Would recommend this class to everyone I know.

I found Mr. Woods?s class very interesting. If you have questions you can always e-mail him. He will ask you to watch certain movies. The important thing is take notes and study his powerpoints you will do well on his test. All his tests are on blackboard. He has you to do a few discussion board activities and some online activities.

the most helpful professor i ever had online, or in class. gotta think but he walks you through each step. very understanding, challenging but fair. if you just want a credit go take someone else. take this class if you want to learn and enjoy it. awesome!

native american philsophy was one of the best classes i ever took. Woods is a great teacher.

Best online class I've taken. Best class i've taken!

The most intelligent professor i've had a tcc. Will enroll in his ethics class or pop culture class next smester.

AWESOME teacher!! Extremely inspiring! This class has changed my life! He is very helpful and easy to understand. Best teacher I've had at TCC ever!!! Looking into taking more of his classes... You rock Stephen!!! =)

Very good instructor and knows his stuff. I took online class and it was hard to follow at times however if you try you can make it through it. lots of movies to watch. on test have your book ready YOU WILL NEED IT. Pay attention to quotes in movies several on each test. Overall good class and I would take him again!

I took his Hollywood's America class last summer, online. I loved it. I am not a movie buff and I still enjoyed the class very much. I did discover that it was hard to find some of the older movies to rent, mainly because blockbuster and Hollywood video only carried one copy (if any) of each. Lots of graded discussion boards but great teacher!!

I love this class. Prof. Woods encourages us to think for ourselves, instead of just taking his word for things. I like that he lectures so much because there is so much information to cover, and he seems to know so much about the subject. Anyone with an interest in Philosophy will benefit from this course. I highly recommend this course.

Steven Woods is perhaps the most intelligent instructor on campus and, even knowing this, he does not talk down to his students. He makes the material in the class interesting and fun and encourages individual thought. Great teacher, would take over and over again for sure!

Steven is a great professor. I learned a lot, and although I decided to change my major from philosophy to international business, I'm glad I took this course. Few complaints-- class was cancelled often and without our knowledge sometimes, and he doesn't grade things immediately. But if you show an interest, he's much more invested in the class.

Took Hollywood's America online and also agree it is not an easy class. The assignments are not particularly difficult just very time consuming. The is a large emphasis placed on discussion board participation and at times felt the grading of the assignments were a bit harder than they should of been. Nice professors and good class.

I took Hollywood America online and this class was harder than I expected. Not sure I understood the grading process. I never changed the way I did things and my grade was good one week and a tad lower the next week. But I have to give this instructor credit, he did get back to me anytime I had questions. I appreciate that.

Awesome class. Learned a lot and would recommend to any one.

Very interesting class. Steven Woods does have an unorthodox method of teaching but I expected as much from a philosophy class. The class wasn't too difficult, it was mainly a lot of lecturing and discussion on philosophical methods. There were several online discussion boards to participate in on various topics. He only gave one test at the end.

This was my second semester to have Professor Woods as my instructor. I attended his Pop Culture class the previous semester and enjoyed every minute of it. Although the discussions in his Philosophy class were more difficult to follow than in Pop Culture, Steven saw to it that we got something out of it. He's one of the best professors out there.

Steven is the best professor I have ever had. If there is an art to teaching, he has it. I took three courses of his within two semesters last year and still find myself learning from and feeling inspired by them. He is not only wise, but he's also very funny. Highly suggest taking his classes if you want a meaningful education and experience.

Steven Woods is an excellent teacher that I would recommend to anyone that is serious about their education. He's honest, fair and appoachable. Work hard and you'll receive an "A".

This class was up close and personal. There were students from all walks of life and everyone was made to feel like family. I have never really been accepted by anyone who was not of Native descent but in this class, everyone was accepted. It is important to know that you can feel like you belong, that your existence is meaningful. Awesome class.

Awesome teacher! He had alot of speed bumps while i attended his class so I feel like it was kind of an easy A. However, I won't take anyone but him for Native American classes. He knows his stuff :)

Amazing teacher! Very relatable, helpful and easy to understand. I LOVE this professor.

He is very open minded and willing to hear other's points of view. The class is one big discussion.

Pretty easy class lots of discussion

Class is pretty straightforward. Read, watch a film, discuss it. There are only two exams that basically just cover the readings. He grades the first few assignments right away, but gets slow later in the semester. Assignments are OK cause you pretty much do the same thing for each film so it's not like it was hard.... Good class...

Professor was extremely easy going and interesting. If more teachers were like him, more people would graduate from college. Coming to class was required but I missed a lot of classes and communicated with him and he worked with me. All of the tests and quizzes are done online outside of class .. SO GREAT!!

Stephen is an interesting guy. He is enthusiastic about the class (humanities II) and he knows what he is talking about. I hated the class just because I don't like humanities or anything like that, but I would definitely recommend him if you are taking a required class or are into the subject.

I have no idea why this professor is graded so badly. I had him for Pop Culture to finish my second humanities credit and it was a super enjoyable class. He isnt arrogant or self centered, he is just very cultured and philosophical. He is super open-minded, and he was always focused on his students. Lecture heavy, but encouraged class discussions.

Definitely one of the more caring professors. Would take again. He is a really funny guy.

He really is a nice guy but you determine your own grade. If you show up and participate you will receive a good grade. I found that speaking up in class and expressing your opinions makes him like you more. I do recommend this class for anyone who is willing to put forth the effort.

I took Art of Film class online. Mr. Woods is a very fair instructor, he lays all details out before class began and followed the syllabus and schedule to a T. You watch assigned movies and participate in discussion boards, there are 2 tests, a midterm and a final which he prepares you for. He gives weekly reminders and is great at communication!

I really enjoyed this class and the movies he chose to watch for this course. Enthusiastic talking about movies and the minilecture videos were helpful. Let's you take exams multiple times to improve your scores. Lots of choice in which assignments to do. I had some mental health issues this summer and he was super supportive working with me.

Professor Woods is a super intelligent man and an amazing human. He cares deeply about the native culture and I feel smarter when I hear him speak or read something he's written. He is a slow grader, but I think he might be misunderstood based on his reviews.

Steven Woods orchestrated such an amazing course. I took his class during summer and it was very interesting. I absolutely enjoyed all the convo forums and interacting with other students. So, the social requirements for the course were very engaging. Awsome professor. Easy to talk to and work with if you have any issues.

Your grade mostly depends on discussion board posts and replies. You have to watch one movie a week (for a 16 week course) and really think critically about it. Professor Woods is a very intelligent man. The only downside is he is a very slow grader. But other than that, I would definitely take him again!.

A lot of reading & in-depth responses for this course. The syllabus lists films, but you choose 3 you don't want. Excellent instructor. Deter from letting other students scare you. Work-heavy yes, but hard? Not even close. I shared a class with the reviewer who complained about their D, that person did not go into depth with their work.

I took his 8 wk course, super hearvy! 2 movies per week (2hrs long), a chapter to read per week, 2 discussions with a prompt in each you have to answer and make sure you respond to 5-7 students posts plus a test each week. If you can find an easier humanities class do it!

Absolutely loved him SO much! So kind, very intelligent, wants to hear your opinion. Really tries to help you understand confusing concepts. Absolutely take his class he is lovely.
