Martha Woodruff
Professor Woodruff is a classic Philosophy professor. Very heavy on discussion and participation. Do the reading and come to class and you will do well in the course. The content itself is fairly standard and will provide a general overview of ancient Greek thought. There's a lot to cover in only one semester, so don't expect anything to get too in depth; you're mostly going to be getting a general sense of each thinker's ideas, and delving in more on your own in paper assignments.

I really enjoyed Professor Woodruff’s teaching style and content. I felt that I learned a lot for an introductory course and she was always very kind and encouraging to students who needed extra help or time on projects.
Martha Woodruff is very accommodating and nice. Her teaching style is very go-with-the-flow, and she likes to rely on students to direct class discussions. Lots of reading is required, some tolerable, others very dry. To get the most out of the class, reading is necessary and enjoyable if done without procrastination.
