  Wooten only gives about 3 or 4 tests the whole quarter and he grades them fairly. Half of each test requires that you write answers to questions in the form of paragraphs. The other half is vocabulary; you just write a sentence or two describing an object or person. For the most part, Wooten's class was pretty entertaining: sometimes i actually looked forward to the class. He purposely puts his personal philosophy into his lectures, but he doesn't shove it down your throat; he encourages class discussions and gives people a chance to speak. Other times though, he seemed to lower his speeches to the lowest common denominater, and instead of moving along with the lectures he would focus on one minute point on a reading until he drove it into the ground....or the students did. Overall this was a pretty easy class for me, and definitely the good outweighed the bad. I liked his class enough that i chose him as a teacher for my next English elective class.
