Took PSY260 with Wood. She's a cool prof but more advanced—you need to know the stuff well and be ready to apply concepts rather than just memorize. The content is very interesting, covering learning and plasticity and their relation to brain substrates and clinical settings. Wood's teaching style requires engagement with the material, not passive studying. Make sure to read the textbook, as it's important for understanding the course material.
