This was one of the easiest classes I've taken. I've taken Calculus before, so this class was a breeze. My only issue was keeping up with the MyStatLab assignments. Tests are pretty easy, class is easy, Mr. Wright is funny, and you don't even usually need to memorize the equations. This class felt like high school.

Lots of assignments, but in small doses so that it sticks while not being a burden. Group quizzes, small homework, big-picture tests (doesn't ask questions about the minor details). Genuinely caring guy too, funny and learned all of our names (like 30 students) within the first week. Catches you up with notes if you are late. Cant recommend enough

One of my absolute favorite professors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! He's the Math 115 course coordinator so it was great to learn from him since he makes the final. He explains things very well and has helpful office hours to give you more help if needed. He goes over tests and homework in class, he's a fair grader and overall a great person. 10/10 professor

Greg is the BEST! I took CalcII with him. He teaches similarly to how high school teachers might teach. There are take home worksheets that you turn in for credit, and quizzes once a week during class that you can work on with other students. He is amazing teacher and is hilarious! I was nervous about the class, but he made it easy and manageable.

Mr. Wright was awesome. The course material can be challenging, but Mr. Wright makes it simple to understand without leaving you unprepared for exams. Funny guy, really personable. Wish there were more like him.

Calc 2 is one of the more daunting Engineering Fundamentals courses but Professor Wright makes this course a lot of fun and easy to understand. His lectures are always fun to attend and he truly cares about the students. He prints off notes and goes over many practice problems. Even if you are a little behind in math, he patiently helps you out.

The most engaging teacher on campus. Cares about his students and wants them to succeed. It is a VERY difficult class compared to Calc 1 in my opinion and some of the other Calc2 professors are much easier graders.

Professor Wright was the best math instructor I have had to date. Not only is he a funny and caring guy, but he also does a great job at explaining topics and answering questions. He provides great guided notes and does group quizzes! The quizzes give your grade a lot of cushion for exams, but I wouldn't say those were overly difficult either.

Its my first semester at UTK, he's my fav teacher out of all the professors, he will say jokes to let you remember the important knowledge, and his class is fairly easy for me at least. He's really sweet professor, and bro never cancel class. I would recommend this dude to be your teacher.

Dr. Wright is a wonderful mathematics professor. I had his Calc 3 class and I think thanks to him I was able to understand the content really well. His lectures are well structured with guided notes to go along with or you can write your own if you want to. His tests are well prepared for as well as the quizzes all being consistent.

Second time having him and the first time was so nice, I had to do it twice. Gives good review material and exams are not impossible. He's fun to talk to and his quizzes/group exercises are not to difficult. Diff eq is a very professor dependent class and I would argue Greg is the best professor to take it with. G Money the goat.

He made me absolutely LOVE diff equations! He gives quizzes and group exercises, which are not that hard. His exams aren't too bad, as long as you look over the notes, you'll do fine. He gives you a note guide so you can follow along. 10/10 would recommend!
