Hydroscience no matter the professor is a difficult course due to workload and constant assignments. Professor Wright is very smart in his field and respects feedback. This is demonstrated by his curve and opportunities for extra credit which are relatively easy. If you understand the homework and don't cheat it, you should get a high B to A.Rate My Professors ↗
Unnecessarily difficult all around and way to much workRate My Professors ↗
Homeworks are unnecessarily long and defeat the purpose of getting practice given how obscure the content is. The only practical problems you do will be in lecture. There is a writing assignment and presentation which serve no other purpose than to create busy work. Should focus on preparing for the FE, but instead demands your time for nothing.Rate My Professors ↗
Good professor with a great attitude who genuinely cared about students. My one issue is that the level of difficulty didn't reflect lectures at all, examples in lecture were clear/easy & then homework would take 10-20 hours (as a group) & exams would be 3+ hours. Overall great guy, look for a good TA, do work in a timely manner, & you'll be good.Rate My Professors ↗
