My favorite professor along with Mrs Ramsey (public speaking)He loved my abstract on DMT and would always really make the class think about answers he asked, not just giving them out. And why not? Thinking about HOW you actually think on a daily basis is important if you want to really learn about anything. I hate school, but I love Dr. Wright.

Great teacher. I highly recommend this guy for people with a great sense of humor. The quizzes are very easy but the final is a bit tough. Definitely do not be afraid to ask questions and you'll be fine.

He is a funny guy but can be confusing, buy the book and read the chapters. Class discussions are ok they give you some notes but you do need to read the book.

His quizzes and tests are from both the notes taken in class as well as the textbook. I would not have gotten an A without spending time weekly to read the current chapter. Do not procrastinate if you want a good grade! Nice guy but somewhat condescending when you can't answer his questions on the reading.

He looks and sounds almost exactly like Morgan Freeman, so if you're sleepy, his voice can put you to sleep. Overall, easy class. Tests and quizzes are practically identical. 1 abstract paper & tests.

would highly recommend. He tells you everything that you need to know and jokes around some. Everything he tells you is important so take good notes. Didn't really need the book. The paper was also super easy.Tests were a little difficult but if you pay attention you shouldn't have a problem making a high B or an A.

Such a fun class. The class discussions are very interesting and he's really funny and jokes around a lot. He really is just like Morgan Freeman. Make sure you take good notes! Quizes & test are pretty tough, and the one abstact is an easy grade. I learned so much from this class & it's truly interesting.

Most important thing to know before entering this class: He doesn't use a projector. Your notes are hand written by listening to him talk, but he will occasionally repeat things. Class is made up of quizzes 30%, Abstract paper 20%, midterm 20% & Final 30%. Quizzes can be challenging with occasional bonuses.DO NOT NEED BOOK, he rarely referenced it.

Good Professor. He definitely knows his stuff. He lectures so you will have to actually attend class to get the information that he lectures on but reading the book after each lecture will better help you understand the information. I would definitely take him again.

Only take this class if you have the extra hours to study. Every class is all lecture very interesting and you do learn a lot. Key to passing quizzes and tests are read book and study chapters on your own. He knows his stuff never a dull moment. Study! Study! Study! Taken as summer course and made a C. Take my advice. Great prof, must read the book

Great Professor! His lectures are very interesting. Showing up everyday is a must, as well as reading the textbook. You'll get bonus points for reading chapters and knowing your information prior to class. Tests are difficult so STUDY STUDY STUDY! I recommend recording his lectures because he tends to talk pretty fast.

The class was very easy. The testsquizzes are based off the lectures, with maybe two questions max from the book. He is somewhat small minded when it comes to answering or debating in class, as in he only accepts his own answer-at least from the few times I or my classmates tried to answer. not a bad class though.

Dr Wright exams are hypothetical situation so be prepared to think and know the material ! The class was lectures seem unorganized , but once he makes sure to cover all the material before the exam ! One abstract essay don't sweat it . Just do a book and summarizes it easy ! You grade the exams in class ! The book is not required , but it helps

Dr Wright is awesome! His lectures were very interesting if you're into psychology. I learned a lot from this class! The quizzes are very hypothetical so you really need to understand the material. The book is needed and very helpful. Don't skip class!He's very sarcastic so get ready for his sassy comments. Just do what he says and be respectful.

Wright was hard. YOU NEED YOUR BOOK, YOU NEED TO READ! Wright is not clear on what will be on the test. Read, and know every aspect of who and what you're reading about. Unclear on what will exactly be on the tests and quizzes. ONE MAJOR writing assignment. EASY! JUST DO IT AND MAKE YOUR COPIES and you'll pass with at least a C.

I am currently enrolled in Dr. Wrights psychology class. DO NOT SKIP CLASS! Majority of the questions on test and quizzes are from notes you will take during his lectures and those pretty much the entire class time. Had to miss a class for personal reasons and he never responded to my emails or calls when trying to find out what he went over.

I love Dr. Wright. He was definitely an intriguing and fun professor. Go to every class. There are frequent quizzes that will help you secure an A. Material that is not in the book will be on tests and quizzes! At least skim the book to get a sure A! (But focus on lectures more!) Abstract easy, but be prepared. He can grill you pretty tough :(

He's a very funny man with a positive demeanor. The way he words things can be somewhat confusing, but just read the chapter after his lectures to get a better understanding. If I had to take him again I probably would.

He doesn't respond to emails and doesn't post your grade anywhere so you're left kind of lost sometimes. The quizzes and tests are difficult , but I did learn a lot about life from him. He can be interesting and funny.

He can be a little moody some days but for the most part he is very interesting and funny. Be prepared to take plenty of notes. Quizzes are a little tough but if you study they're no problem. Class is NEVER boring. The textbook helped clarify some things but the majority of the teaching was from Dr. Wright. Always show up for his class!

At first he seemed strict, but after the first week he's just very respected! He's super funny, and helpful. He doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions. His lectures are good and interesting. He likes participation and it makes the class just more fun rather than just lecturing straight thru it. Mid term was a group effort. No hw!
