Dr. Wood was a wonderful professor and the sweetest person. She cares deeply about the course material and her students. There are some tight deadlines for reading, which made the class somewhat difficult to keep up with. As long as you're ok with the reading, I'd highly recommend.Rate My Professors ↗

I absolutely love Dr. Wood, she's very knowledgeable and passionate about the texts she's assigning and about her students. She does sometimes encourage an echo chamber but she facilitates interesting and insightful class discussions that help with understanding the poems we read. Incredibly kind as a professor and in her grading, take her class!!!Rate My Professors ↗

Phenomenal professor and class! She completely changed how I view literature and nearly convinced me to become an English major. She's incredibly caring and wants to see her students succeed inside and outside of the classroom. I couldn't recommend her enough.Rate My Professors ↗

Dr. Wood was INCREDIBLE!!! I learned so much, she's so kind and truly cares about students' holistic success; this was my favorite class I have ever taken I'm so thankful for her. She really helped me look at literature in a new way and I was pushed to think more critically in the best way possible.Rate My Professors ↗

Dr. Wood is amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough. I took her Climate Crisis Literature class and she is an amazing person and professor. There is a lot of assigned reading but it's all very engaging- just make sure you make the time for it! Dr. Wood provides good feedback, but not grades until the end of the semester.Rate My Professors ↗
