In three years at Cal Poly I have never had a professor as aweful as Carl Wooton. For two hours, in front of 180 students, professor Wooton proceeded to read to us, for the entire period. No interaction, no questions. He merely read and looked up to point out the obvious about what he just read and continued reading. I came to every class, hoping to gain something, but left drained and frustrated. He does not discuss the overriding ideas behind the texts or anything a relative importance, nor the history or authors, he reads. His tests were the worst part. He asks the most off the wall questions. Questions that have nothing to do with the substance of the book; some inconspicuous detail that no person in their right mind would venture to remember for a test. He is the master of pointing out the obvious and testing on the unimportant. His second test was written, the questions were broad and unclear but he wanted an absolute answer. His final was 40 questions and 8 questions were asked twice. Thats a potential to be wrong once and pay for it twice 8 times i.e. you fail. Why he did this? Who Knows? I didn't even get a bad grade, but I crammed for those tests more than any class and didn't learn a damn thing. Avoid professor Wooton, don't throw away $400 on a crappy class and bad grade.
