Michael is the most amazing Professor. Took him for Advanced Interpersonal Communication, Special Topics-Transpersonal Communication and Communication & the Quality of Life. All three courses were the most enjoyable part of my time at Northeastern University. Be prepared to write and participate. No exams which was awesome. He's the best.COMU530 2021-01-02 22:31:41 +0000 UTC
I took Michael for three classes. Advanced Interpersonal Communication, Special Topics, and Quality of Life. All were amazing. A lot of writing and group discussions. Very fair grader. If you make the effort you'll get an A.CMN530 2019-01-20 06:00:27 +0000 UTC
People complain about this class because they think it is like a therapy session; but they just aren't insightful enough to understand what this incredible teacher was trying to get us to see. Life is not just about work; he challenges you to understand your place in the world. Plus his life history is incredible! You'll hear all about it :)QUALLIFE 2007-11-06 09:52:24 +0000 UTC
One of my favorite classes at NU even though it was outside of my major. Every class you could walk away from having learned something with a new perspective on the world. Always gives time to current and former students.INTERPERSONAL 2005-10-18 21:16:04 +0000 UTC
Woodnick was one of the best professors I had at NU. Very interesting and really made you get deep and think about certain things. I always felt comfortable in his classesCMNU 2005-05-01 19:22:26 +0000 UTC

Wonderful Teacher always made class fun and entertaining.COMU530 2005-04-12 12:07:32 +0000 UTC
This teacher is very nice, and the class if very easy. It's not what I expected, though. It feels as if the teacher doesn't plan any real lessons, and the bulk of the class is spent discussing people's problems. I feel as if I've wasted my money on a group therapy class, and I'm leaving with no new knowledge or skill sets.CMN530 2006-10-24 09:32:01 +0000 UTC
Guaranteed A if you show up and put some effort into the papers. Very open, kind man that just wants to get to know people. Open up a little in class and in your papers, and enjoy the time for reflection and the guaranteed A you'll get.QUALLIFE 2006-12-13 12:45:23 +0000 UTC
This man is a Saint. He is a great listener and provides excellent advice. I am taking another class with him just because I enjoyed him so much. Definately take any of his courses.CMN530 2005-10-26 11:16:25 +0000 UTC
