Awesome! One of my favs so far. Funny, interesting, helpful, and projected a laid-back atmosphere. Goes a little fast sometimes but will always answer questions. Easy to look at too.

Allan Wright is a engaging and interesting teacher. He likes to joke, and the overall attitude of the class feels like high school again. He is very interested and knowledgeable on religion, but he is specialized in Christianity. Very good class, I enjoy it every morning.

Loved his class! I took it for an art elective and didn't regret it. The information was interesting and he has a lot of lame jokes that are still somehow funny to go with it. Quizzes are pretty easy and he marks papers easy, as well.

I didn't attend the class often but when I did the information was very clear and Allan was always making jokes. All the notes were online. This is the most helpful professor I had, if you have a problem he'll help you to fix it. No matter how huge your mistake is, he will help you through it. He literally saved my grade after I messed up hard.

Allan is a great prof! He is really fast in replying to emails, and is always very helpful and understanding. I would totally recommend taking his class.

Great guy! Very funny, gives clear notes, and is obviously engaged. However, he goes through some of the topics a little too fast sometimes.

Very easy. Too bad I didn't show for class but his notes were super easy so was his test. I hardly paid attention and still got an A. But would love to take him again.

Great prof. He's extremely helpful and understanding and he doesn't assign work that he knows his students wont be able to do. He's really funny and makes the class a lot more interesting when he talks about what we're learning. Awesome prof!

He's really great at getting people interested in the material! He makes it fresh, interesting, and has videos to show every class. The only thing I would say is to watch out for his tests, they are VERY detail-oriented, rather than focused on general topics.

Very good.

Professor Wright was a great prof. His class was very interesting, and relatively easy. There were 2 midterms, 2 papers (both about 3-5 pages long), and a final, so plenty of opportunities to change your grade. I didn't touch the textbooks once, all exams were based solely on lecture materials. Good class and great prof!

Final exam isn't cumulative but the papers (2) are quite long. Good sense of humour.

He is an amazing prof. Really chill and super understanding . Although there is quite a lot of work involved in this class (2 midterms 2 papers+final) it was not super challenging. All of his exams are fair as well. Highly recommend him

Amazing class! His slides have many beautiful pictures of the things we are learning about. In addition there are many short videos to watch based on the content of discussion. It is because of this the class is extremely enjoyable, original, and informative! AW is extremely funny and laid back. High grade is in your favor with a respective effort!

Wright is the man if you want to get interested in Religious Studies. Looks like a Greek philosopher with a touch of Hip, of course. Very clear, funny and easy. Irrespective of his personal thoughts/ideas which he did share, he made sure the class was respectful of all religions discussed. Very broadminded and always had personal examples to share.

Tests are fair, 90 percent consisting of explaining bolded terms and writing general info on larger topics. R

He is okay, funny and nice, good grader if you study well. He is funny but sometimes fakes information and he gets caught, specially if you know other languages you can catch him (or maybe the course content is just wrong) , he is available and replies to emails, that helps with assignments if you have questions, the books were useless I never used

He is an excellent prof who is very knowledgeable about all religions to some degree despite the fact that his area of expertise is Christianity. He makes class fun and engaging. He tried to start many discussions and it was very interesting. I would highly recommend taking a class with him. Its easy and engaging.

He's a good prof who is knowledgeable about various religions and does his best to explain everything in concise detail even though these religions were not his area of expertise. He is a nice guy who is willing to help. Would gladly take a class with him again.

The was on a waitlist to get into this class but it was worth it. My first RELIG class and Allan's teaching was so good that I'm hooked. Pay attention to the slides and all bold terms in the textbook and you will do fine. He is accessible outside class and is a good lecturer.

Allan's class was an easy A and he's great for introductory classes. All quizzes are lecture heavy but they're no hard as long as you focus on the bolded terms on his slideshows. He is accessible outside of class and replied super fast with e-mails. All tests are not cumulative and you can always make up for a bad grade in the next assignment.

By far my favourite class and professor this year. Taking more relig classes now.

Amazing!!!! One of the best!! Made in think of monsters and evil differently. Really want to take more classes with him and religion now.

Amazing class. Allan is passionate about the subject area. He is really engaging and his lectures were enjoyable. Got to write 3 papers on any media concept involving monsters/evil. Gives you exam essay questions in advance. Great guy, hope he gets the opportunity to teach this course again. He's also a babe, like a grunge/rock n roll Jesus ;)

Allan is a great professor. His lectures are really interesting and can explain concepts well. Lots of in-class discussions that are really beneficial to learning the material. Midterms are easy, mostly multiple choice and fill in the blank. However, we had to write 2 papers and the final consists of 2 essays, so there's lots of writing.

Really good prof! The quizzes are very easy with some studying and consist of just multiple choice and fill in the blank. The final had two essays but they were not very difficult. Definitely taking more classes with him!

Super interesting course, as I've always been interested in ancient Egypt, magic, and Witches. His lectures are well organized, and all you have to really do is know the general history, and read the readings assigned. Write down anything relevant to the assignment question and you're good to go!! Bless no exams

Allan's lectures were short and sweet. If you grasped the (easy) material, great! But if you needed more clarification he was always willing to discuss. No textbook or extensive weekly readings. Would take again, and would recommend this class to others. Seems like a cool guy.

Relig 274 is the second class I've taken with Allan and he remains my favourite prof. He explains things in a way that are easy to understand and makes it fun. He's an easy marker and he's very lenient, always willing to give you extra time if you need it. You can tell he knows what he's talking about but he's not intimidating at all.

Best Prof I've had in the two years I've been at the U of A.

Allan was a good prof! All his lectures are pre-recorded so you can watch them whenever works best. The course content is very interesting- I would definitely recommend you take this class if you can!

The Monsters course was the best class I've ever taken! Really interesting!

Great class and prof. Explained things really well. If you are looking for a simple GPA bump without doing any work you might be in trouble. If you put in some time, it is a great experience.

The Evil class is FANTASTIC!!! The University should offer it more I think. Allan is a clear and amazing lecturer. He is always willing to help if you are struggling. The assignments were interesting since you get to pick things you enjoy to study. Definitonity A+

Dr. Wright saved my grade. I struggled with the first assignment and then reached out to get some help. He was more than willing to meet through zoom and go over my assignment and gave me tips to improve. THANK YOU DR. WRIGHT!!

Great professor. Very helpful and his teaching was informative.

Super good guy. Loved the class and the lectures, material,and so on. He will help explain further if you don't understand something, even though email. I recommend, definitely.

Great at explaining difficult topics. Great at explaining, and respecting different view points as well.

Excellent choice. Guy is getting review bombed by a couple unhappy people. If you don't agree with the TA grade, talk to him, he will help you through it, at least he did for me, helped me tremendously. Super friendly and understanding as well.

Not sure what happened with the online classes but in person Allan is a great prof. Lectures and notes and everything is top notch. I will definitely be taking more classes with Allan!

The man is a master of the craft. Understanding and gives great lectures.

He's great. Ask him if you need help, he's always willing, gives extensions too. Avoid if you don't want to take religion classes from a historical and critical view. If you want confirmation take someone else. He's getting review bombed, the complaints are ridiculous.

9.5/10 rounded up. The most understanding and helpful teacher I have had, seriously. Lol, he's not getting review bombed, it's just a couple people trolling him. For those bitter, grow up and just drop the class.

I really liked him. I would suggest to try and you will probably be surprised how great he teaches and actually gets students to think. I know A LOT of my fellow classmates feel similar.

It's clear from these comments who actually goes to class and engages with the material. If you don't like to question things or critically think, then yeah don't take him

Best class I have taken at uni. A TA usually does all the marking but speak to him if something isn't clear. He is very willing to help.

I'm surprised at some of the low ratings. The Evil, Monsters, and Religion class was superb. I have nothing negative to say about the class or Allan himself. My experience was nothing but positive and I will be taking future classes with Allan.

I wish I could take all my classes from him. I have taken a couple of classes and they are always so good.

My favorite class in university. The class and prof Allan is funny, smart, and entertaining.

This is honestly the best class I have taken in University and I am in my third year. Dr. Wright is right up with the best prof I have had. Take it if you can.

Prof Allan Wright is just good at what he does. His lectures push you to think critically, and he is quite an understanding and good fellow.

I loved Alan, he was such a great professor! the class was so interesting and Alan is so passionate about it all. take this class if you can!

The man is an incredible teacher. Go to class; he makes the material so much more interesting and relatable. I loved his style and humor.

For the most part, class time does not matter, all of his lectures are posted word for word on his eclass. The class was very interesting, and he was very knowledgeable, but the marking did not seem completely fair. Multiple times throughout the semester things had to be re-graded because of errors.

Yep, as others have said, he is a great prof, in fact, he is one of the best.

He slays

Super nice, great prof. Interesting class. Assignments and tests are completely reasonable. His lectures don't go far off the slides but he does give out important info during class regarding tests & doesn't put the announcement on eclass so going to class really helps with that. Really accommodating when asking questions about assignments/marks.

Allan is a king. Super knowlegeable about all topics, and his lectures were very interesting. Only thing I didn't like was grades/announcements were not posted in Eclass. Go to his lectures, funniest and most interesting class ever and he makes it easy to understand. Attendance not mandatory but he mentions lots about the testing in class.

Dr. Wright was a very down to earth prof. He gives his slides but most of the valuable info he gives is in his lectures (off slide material). He is very knowledgeable and loves class discussions. 10/10

Genuinely really amazing such a great prof cant wait to take his other classes! His lectures were well crafted and informative, his tests were super easy if you attended the lectures and basically look over the notes prior. Would recommend love him!

Allan is a GEM!! His classes are the best, super interesting and you can tell he enjoys doing what he does which really does make a difference. Only slight con is that your mark only comes from 3 things, making each of them worth a lot. But his lectures really make up for this!

Dr. Wright is a very chill person and I appreciated his humour in lectures. The course was made up of 2 midterms, a paper, and a final. To get a better grade, make sure to explain WHY terms/concepts are important on exams, not just stating WHAT they are. It seems important to make your voice clear in your work. Overall, interesting and fun class.

His lectures were extremely enjoyable! I took this class as a night class, and he made the 3 hours bearable, providing breaks throughout. Class is graded on 2 midterms, a final, and a media assignment. I found the assignment was a bit harshly graded for how little info was provided on the rubric, but everything else was reasonable. A great prof!

Allan is such a caring and understanding professor. He is so easy to follow. His class encourages active participation. Take notes in class from students' participative answers he affirms, and use them in answering his questions. He enjoys critical and creative thinking.

The best teacher I have had.

Allan is a very caring and excellent prof. If I was earlier in my undergrad, I would have taken many more courses from him.

My main issue was that the grading criteria was not made clear enough, at least in my opinion. There was no specific grading rubric used, so you weren't totally sure what exactly was expected of you on the midterms/papers. The questions that you will write about on the final are provided a week before the exam, so that was nice.

Professor Wright is very good and genuinely caring. His lectures are engaging, clear, and you can tell he's very passionate about the material he teaches. The class is straightforward, and it's not hard to get a good mark. However, the TA was a bit of a letdown impacted my marks. There's no rubric for the class.

Dr. Wright's classes are the endlessly entertaining and informative! Take him for anything if you can!

Prof. Wright makes this class super engaging. Attendance is key, as he shares important test info in lectures. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for reviewing concepts. Overall, an interesting and enjoyable course.

Dr. Wright is amazing! His class is super engaging, and he makes even a 3-hour lecture fly by. Attendance isn't mandatory, but his lectures help a lot, especially since the exams are fully written. He's approachable, gives great feedback, and truly cares about his students. If you get the chance to take a class with him, do it—you won't regret it!

My favourite class this semester and it's not even close. I wish I could take more.

He is fantastic! A real gem
