i would highly recommend prof steven. very helpful in all aspects. eager to help you learn.
Excellent Teacher. I would highly recommend his class. Very easy
You must attend class if you want to do well; works in the field that he is teaching, and says to the students that he wants each student to do well in his class. great person and teacher.
Uses all the tools provided by the University, which is very helpful. Uses audio/visual teaching aids. He works in the field he teaches and gives real world examples. Very knowledeable. Welcomes every student's opinion some of whom are business owners or business people. Keeps the students updated via E-Mail, online comments and during lectures.
Very fair professor who is eager to adapt to students' needs. His knowledge of the subject and use of learning tools made the class very enjoyable.
Be prepared to do a lot of research on your own for your business plan. Prof. Woods has plenty of real world business experience that he incorporates into classroom discussions.
Took this class online and he is horrible. Slow to grade or give feedback and the feedback was never positive. Never helped you when you asked what you did wrong. Provided students with a syllabus and then changed all the due dates in the assignment folder and never told us. Professor was extremely frustrating through out the semester.
I thought this was going to be a terrible class. But if you put in the work you will get a good grade. You won't use the book besides maybe for structure and term definitions. To understand how to complete the assignments it is essential to ask questions. Good professor.
Nice guy but his tests are ridiculously hard. Even if you study and with the open-book final you cannot get an A. The 4 group projects are RIDICULOUS. Way too much work. You use the textbook a lot. Material is easy but the tests are just too tricky. Unfair.
Professor Wood s is one of the COOLEST professors there is. He used the book but def made it relate to todays world. He really cares about the students!
Professor Woods is a nice guy, but I wasn't too crazy about the class structure; read assigned chapters and listen to him read off the PPT's. If you don't mind that, then you should have no problem in his class, if you can stay awake.
I have taken several courses with this professor throughout my academic career and he is one of the few I feel that I actually learn something from. His teaching style can be a bit challenging, but that is what learning is about. I have taken both on campus and online classes, having the same beneficial experience in both styles.
This was my first class with professor Wood and I personally enjoyed him. I took this class online, which can be a bit challenging, but he was very helpful and responded to every post. Yes, the tests were challenging but if you did all the discussions you already have a C. I actually learned more from the discussions than the tests, so it is suitab
I had him for an online class that I HATED, but he was incredibly helpful and actually made it feel like a live class.
I took MGMT 315 online. I enjoyed the class structure - which encourages lots of open and relevant discussion. The subject matter was not my cup of tea but Dr. Woods did a solid job of making it interesting. Overall, relatively painless - definitely recommended.
Online Summer class was interesting, challenging but not overly burdensome. I enjoyed it. Professor seems to be genuinely interested in his students growth and development.
I took online MGMT 315 class with Dr. Woods in the summer. Tests were kind of hard, but they were only fair (small) portions of final grade. Word Count rules for conference discussions seem to be a little too much, but I could always wrote more than the minimum word count requirements because he always created interesting topics. Highly recommend!
The most understanding professor in the world! Will bend over backwards just to make you understand concepts and get a good grade. He will help you through anything, academic issues as well as career issues. Keeps topics easy and understandable.
Great professor. His online class was the best organized and most productive that I've taken. I had to work hard, and actually learned something- which is a lot more than I can say for some other online classes!
Challenging class, good structure, lots of material covered for tests, very time consuming in the summer, highly recommended, learned a a great deal. Should be required for HSMG instead of elective.
Challenging class but Woods made it understandable and recognized effort.
One of the best professors I have ever had. He answers questions thoroughly and explains questions in full detail. Tests can be demanding but it is for your own benefit. If you want a good quality professor and education, take Professor Woods
Awesome!
Good men please keep it up
Professor Woods is the best professor I've has thus far at UB. I love the way he made us engage with each other to promote retention. I'd take any class with him again!! HE'S AWESOME!!
Professor Woods was one of the most engaging Professors I've had, which is saying a lot since I took an online class. My only complaint is that the exams were too challenging. I felt that many questions tested my ability to locate a particular sentence in the text rather than my knowledge of a concept. Otherwise, the class was excellent.
THE BEST PROFESSOR AT UB...he is truly a great person, he challenges his students not to fail them but to make them think outside of the box. He cares about each and every student's learning abilities, and WILL BEND BACKWARDS for anyone who is honestly trying to succeed in his class. He is a role model professor, we need more instructors like him
Had him for two online classes and he was extremely helpful in both. He participates in the student conferences and gives frequent feedback. The course work can be challenging, but expectations are clearly stated and he always answered questions.
Great teacher. Really cares about his students and what they learn. Really considers your input to maximize learning.
prof. Steven is very easy going and getting a good grade is easy as long as you show up and participate unclassified discussion.
He has an excellent teaching style and he is very helpful. He makes the class very interesting.
Hands down, the best professor at UB. Be prepared to put in the work, but by the end of the semester you'll be glad you took this course. Dr. Woods is very inspiring and leads active and engaging class discussion.
Professor Woods is an amazing professor with a huge heart. Not only is he intelligent, but he cares so much about the well being of his students. The class is a decent amount of work, but it is all worth it. I recommend this professor to anyone!
This professor is extremely fair and will give points if he thought you really tried. He is committed to the learning experience and welcomes suggestions and comments.
One of the best professors I've ever had. Really down to earth, he is extremely smart and has loads of real world experience. Class is largely discussion based, and it made it very interesting. Open book tests were more critical thinking than looking for facts in the book. He cares a lot about students and wants everyone to walk away with a lot.
I thought this was a great class. I heard from previous students that he a great professor. And I wasn't disappointed. He challenges you to think critically and he "connect the dots". Great thing about he willing to listen to feed and very approachable. Be ready to talk. Great class I'm plan on taking another one of his classes
He is a great teacher, and a great person to interact with. Study the chapter before coming to class and be ready to share your opinions with the class. Tests weren't too difficult, as long as you read the book. 70% of the grade is given to you as long as you do the Discussion Question. i would definitely recommended taking his class.
The most engaging professor you will ever encounter. Dr. Woods is down to earth and very straightforward. He uses the book as a compliment to his real world experience. Dr. Woods forces you to think critically, out of the box.....a generic answer will not do. Come to class with the chapters read and your mind open!
He was an awesome teacher! He has a great sense of humor and keeps the class entertaining. He makes it fun to learn and you actually learn. If you pay attention, do whats required and keep the discussion going, you will easily pass the class and receive a good grade!
I can honestly say, in more than 8 years, Dr. Woods has impressed me more than any other professor. He has a great sense of humor and makes learning interesting. His regularly added two cents in reply to students' posts either keep the discussion going or play devil's advocate when a different perspective is needed. What a great instructor!
The Entrepreneurial Experience
I took an online class with Dr Woods and it was great! It is easy and he responds promptly to all the postings.
I was a little skeptical about an online class but found Dr. Wood engaging and thought provoking. I'm more of hands on visual person but the discussions allowed me to put my self in that situation and come up with a solution. Thumbs up to Dr. Wood.
Dr. Woods has a passion for the subjects he teaches. He works to ensure that you are applying what you learn in class interactions and direct responses. I have taken his classes in house and online. He is highly recommended.
Awesome Professor! Taking the summer online course required discipline to keep up with the reading and assignments. Dr. Woods put in just as much work as us and keeps you engaged and learning. Best college professor I have experienced. Great course!
I have taken several online courses in the past; however this was by far the best experience I have had to date. Dr. Wood's is crystal clear as to his expectations and grading policy.
If you have the chance, definitely take Dr. Woods. He's down to earth, engaging, knows his stuff, and with some discipline, you can do well in the class. I wish I had known about him/his classes sooner! I would've taken all of them!
I would recommend Dr. Woods to my fellow student.
Super clear! Great online professor!!
Took online. Dr. Woods makes his expectations clear and encourages students to reach full potential. Grade was based on 3 (open book) exams and 7 weekly discussions. If you put in the work you'll get an A.
GREAT Porfessor! When I first read my syllabus for this class i was a little scared but this class was really interesting and to think i took it during the summer. Dr. Woods is a great teacher that knows the material and also wlling to help his students.Just do as he asks and work hard and you will be good!
Online course. Prof. Woods helps his students engage in course materials with his weekly discussions. He seems to truly care for his students. He may be the first Professor I met who makes sure his students are really learning something from his course. Try taking his course and you'll see.
I had Dr. Woods for a previous class and once again I was not disappointed. I learned a great deal during this course thanks in part to Dr. Woods outstanding teaching methods. He makes things easier to understand by requiring students to read each others responses to questions. The workload may appear overwhelming at first but adjusting was easy.
I enjoyed the Entrepreneurship class and Professor Woods was very clear and concise about his expectations.Even more importantly in my opinion, is that he is not afraid to be rated by his students. This speaks volume about his desire to offer the best and to take constructive criticism. Kudos to Professor Woods, for being an excellent Professor.
Dr.Woods is amazing. Show up to class and answer two questions a week you get a C automatically. There are three tests open booked and online take home so you can get a 5 on all of them and still have an A in the class. Get an 80 or 90 and don't have to take the last. The questions are right out of the book so take your time and find the answer
Class and teacher are relitively easy. Hde puts the entire grade in your hands to earn. you do have work to do weekly but it is manageable even with a full time job.
All you have to do is submit 2 writings per week based on chapter readings and show up to class or submit responces to other people's writings instead of showing up to class and take 3 open book multiple choice tests. I learned a lot about what makes a good leader. He's also extremely accommodating, lets the class out when they seem bored or edgy
He is one of the best professors here I've had so far. He is very straightforward with his expectations and most importantly there are NO group projects. All his exams are online & open notes. Also the only assignments you have to do are 2 discussion responses per wk. Plus, for Thanksgiving wk, there was no class! He's that awesome, so take him!
If you are seriously interested in business, this is the class for you. Follow the syllabus, attend class, and submit your 2 weekly discussion responses you will not have any problems in this class.
Professor Woods is interested in the subject matter and student progress. Course requirements are straightforward and somewhat intense (must attend all classes and complete weekly assignments to earn points) but consistent and fair. Overall a great professor!
Very professional. He is very experienced in the subject matter and offers excellent information. He is extremely personable and he genuinely cares about each of his students.
He is a good professor.One of the best at University of Baltimore.
Dr. Woods has you think in a different way. He has you think divergently. Yes some say go by his sylibus and you'll get an "A." This is not true especially if you have never even attemped to think like an entrepeneur. I was required to take this class and all I can say is it is a true learning experience and you will get something out of it.
The easiest 'A' I have ever recieved. This class is joke, which is nice if you are taking other classes that are harder throughout the semester.
Dr. Wood's classes are fun, the format is open discussion. He tries to tie in the class to your life. Sometimes this leads to boring side-conversations, but often the discussions are interesting. Read the book before class or you'll be lost trying to understand what he's trying to link. Grading requirements are clearly explained to receive an 'A'.
Dr. Woods is an awesome professor. If you're looking to learn about yourself, take this class with him. Yes, it is an easy A, but you learn so much!! What you learn in this class about yourself is so much better than receiving the good grade on your transcript. He teaches stuff you can actually use later in life.
Dr. Woods is a great professor. Very willing to assist students that are serious about their education and especially business. He follows the syllabus, and the class was very engaging.
Dr. Woods is energetic and passionate in his teaching on business,management and entrepreneurship (not to mention Steve Jobs!). What he teaches you can be used for not only business & Mgt styles but managing your personal life. Change your thinking! Very interesting and valuable lessons learned. Highly recommend this course!
Very easy to follow class and teacher. Just complete the readings and a short essay once a week. There is no reason not to get an A in this class. He makes it very easy
I highly reccommand this instructor. He shows you how to make money out of the textbook we have. You will leave his class 100% more knowledgeable than you were entering. I not only learned more about myself but others as well. There are open discussions so that you can always speak your mind. Must I say it? Take him! He's a phenomenal!
Dr. Woods was a great Professor in the way he encouraged discussion in the classroom to allow for healthy debate. I've learned to think more divergently since taking this class. I highly recommend this class for any Business Administration Major.
You are stupid if you do not take Dr. Woods class. He gives detailed explanations on reading assignments. He is very knowledgeable about the reading assignments and course work. Dr. Woods by far is my favorite professor this semester. I am leaving this class with tips to help me with furthering my career and personal life experience
He is an education mastero. His ability to apply his knowledge, and real life examples to our course, open discussions in class, able to connect the dots.. much better!!! You MUST take his class if business major! If you go to UB and never took a class with this professor than you missed like Dr. Woods talking just like another Steve jobs!!
I like that we have discussions in class and its not just a straight lecture. It is easy to pay attention, and learn new things this way.
Professor Woods style of teaching was excellent and he has passion for his work. Everything he has tought me I will use in the future.
He is passionate about what he teaches. He's always willing to help students outside class with job related question. The main reason why i loved his classes was because, he gets the student involved in class discussion, and not just go over PP Slides. I didn't take his class because of an easy A, but because he gave me great Knowledge about MGMT.
If you want answers spoon fed to you this is not the right course. He makes you think and connect. This class is the best I've had at ub. The discussions are great. He has changed the way I see myself in the business world. I feel like there is a place for me to succeed, and am very grateful for the experience.
Wonderful teacher. Extremely passionate and knowlegeable about what he was teaching. Hate Business Management as a whole but he made me want to learn more..
Professor Woods is a very passionate man, his teachings were all from experience (successes and failures) which made it more interesting and real. I enjoyed his non-traditional behavior.
Best Professor I've ever had. Class setup different, but very helpful.
If you a instructor that will cultivate needed skills for success in life, take any course Dr. Woods teaches. I could not be more happy to have been a student of his in my first year of college. Several of the skills have already allowed me the opportunity for advancement in my career. You will work. But, you will have fun learning also.
Loved this class I was not interested in buisness mgmt but he made me want to start a business
It was great to have Dr. Woods as a professor. He makes the class interesting, fun and different. I loved his style for teaching. This class was the only class out of 4 in this semester that I really enjoy. I strongly recommend him as a professor.
I just want to say Dr. Woods is great. He keeps the class interesting. He's very laid back. He is very understanding. The content of this class is boring. I still think it is boring, after the class, but at least now I understand it better. He is awesome, take him!
Love Prof. Woods class. I found his class to be very informative, and it helped me understand the process of running a business from scratch. The weekly DQs are a great tool, in which I wrote what I learned from the reading, and lectures. Class participation is not required, but be prepared if your name is called.
Awesome teacher, if you miss an opportunity to take his class you are missing an experience of a life time. He will probably be one of the best teachers you will ever have no matter what you major. Please Don't let someone like himself not influence your life in some way, because he will. Will always be my first choice for a professor.
Very nice guy his class show you business in a whole new level the class is easy and so self efficent this class is worth taking
I do not regret taking this course. Dr. Woods is one of the best and helpful professors at UB. He makes sure you understand the subject/topic. He prepares you for the real business world. The class was fun, i was always excited to attend the class
Professor Woods is one of the best professors I've had. I was not interested in the subject, but he made it easy to understand.He didn't just lecture; he had class discussions, videos, etc, making the class a little more interesting. Attendance is important in his class.
Awesome professor! I had some health issues that I brought to his attention at the beginning of the semester and he was more than accommodating, very understanding. Attendance is a big part of your grade but if you do not go to class you can make up the full points. Attendance and Direct Responses: 70% of your grade. 3 Tests online: 10% each.
A pleasure to have as a professor. Always gave appropriate feedback. Straightforward, no surprises!
Professor Woods is a great professor. I took his class over the summer session, it was a lot of work but I learned a lot. He gives a lot of feedback which is helpful. Make sure to study for the exams, they are tricky.
I dropped this class with another professor and this professor was more difficult, but I felt I learned more and was able to apply the material better. He reads what we write and gives you feedback if you don't wait till the last minute!
i took this class online. it is not an essay class. but if you work, you can get an A in this class.Dr. woods is a great teacher. always there to answer your questions..
Professor Woods is excellent. He provides feedback to his students. Please pay attention to the syllabus. He goes by it and you will not get a reminder on the tests and quizzes so PAY ATTENTION. Overall, I really enjoyed the class.
Took this class over the summer and it was fairly easily. As long as you read the book, you can ace this class. Professor was very understanding, professional and very helpful.
Dr Woods is a fair and involved professor. I took ENTR300.WEB1 and it was a rewarding experience. You will walk away with more knowledge than you started. You will have to do some writing weekly. The test are not easy, but if you read the textbook and slowly read the question.you will do okay. Yes,I would take another course with this professor.
Great professor. Very involved and every assignment was clear. Do yourself a favor and know the syllabus. Every question is answered there. Great experience and I would take another one of his classes.
Had Dr. Woods for summer web class and he was great. I have taken class with him before and I always learn something new.
Dr. Woods is extremely helpful and I found the class discussions to be interesting as the students can guide the discussion how they would like. He has real life experience and reminds you constantly that failure is not the end of the world. It should be used to re-evaluate your life. I loved this class and look forward to having him in the future!
Dr. Woods held a very interesting class. It was one of the few classes I have taken that I actually enjoyed. There was a good amount of work, however Dr. Woods always did his assignments in a way that allowed you to actually learn and earn an A is you followed directions.
Great professor. He is very involved in class his assignment was interesting and clear. Go to class after reading the chapters, you will do great. Highly recomendad professor of UB. Take his class you will not regrate.
One of the best professors at UB. There is a lot of writing involved, but that is normal for an upper-level class. Take a class with Dr Woods, you won't be disappointed.
Need I say more?!?! He is absolutely the B*E*S*T profesor there is that I can think of at UB. I've had him before in MGMT301 and I couldn't wait but jump to the opportunity of taking him for another MGMT. He cares about what his students brings to the table, and if you like to express your opinions about a topic, go for it! He's all ears. Take him!
This was an awesome class and an awesome professor. The class was pretty easy. All you have to do is weekly discussions and 3 exams. In class discussion is very interesting and Prof. Woods gives alot of insight on the chapters. I highly reccommend him to anyone if you want an easy A!
I love Dr. Woods. He is absolutely the best professor ever!! Yes, critical thinking is key and it can be tricky sometimes, but it helps you take everything he teaches you beyond the class. I've had him twice already and I am sad I don't have any courses left to take with him!
Professor Woods is one of the best in the business school. He is an excellent teacher and is very knowledgeable about the courses he teaches. His class is very straight forward and he will tell you what you need to do/learn to be successful in his class. His class involved reading, writing, and class discussions. Take him if you can!
I really enjoyed this class with Dr. Woods. He is very in depth about management but he still makes it fun. His stories are hilarious and he makes everyone in the class want to participate. I loved this class and I would take any class Dr. Woods teaches
He is a good professor. A lot of in class discussion and real world examples. Group discussions and debates helped engage me and retain the material. Good class, i'd recommend to anyone that is interested.
Great Professor! He is beyond fair with grading,very knowledgeable & approachable and willing to listen to anyone that can add something. Explains the concept in class for homework and has group work to make you think outside the box. Made class very interest with real world examples and scenarios. Looking forward to taking other classes he teaches
Prof. Woods is one of the few professors that will bring the beast out of you! He will give you the confidence to speak your opinion and improve your critical thinking!! Love his class
Dr. W is simply amazing! The class was online & everything was clear. 3 exams, 4 hours each. EASY if you've read the text. If every prof was like this I would never stress. He will work with you if you're having issues. Just be up front about it. I've even thought about switch my major to SCM because I learned so much. Take him if you want to LEARN
Great Professor.I took this class in summer (online). Easy class as long as you do your discussions and exams. Exams were not hard if you read book. I will love to take all other management class with him if available.
very easy class, if you show up to class you're almost guaranteed to pass
Easy A. Do the work, get an A. He is so nice! This class is guaranteed to be a GPA booster if you do the work!!!! And it's so EASY!
