I found the class content interesting, but Dr. Wright often went off on unnecessary tangents. The course workload was not bad, but the final exam was extremely tedious and repetitive. I don't think the final represented what we learned throughout the semester at all.Rate My Professors ↗
I absolutely loved the lectures Dr. Wright hosted. Her lectures are engaging, important, and often required/called for participation and thoights from the class. The whole environment is very interactive and welcoming, especially since much of the class is relating content to personal experience. Dr. Wright is so passionate and knowledgeable!Rate My Professors ↗
was fine until the exam - questions are worded poorly and the whole exam would be easy if you had a photographic memory and were taking zero other classes.Rate My Professors ↗
Discussions and material are interesting, but lectures are hard to follow, and slides are crammed and often missing the main point. Dr. Wright is cool and clearly knowledgeable, but makes long, repetitive assignments due on sundays. Final exam is total bull, and asks you to find specific quotes from either 19 presentations or the physical book.Rate My Professors ↗
