Very generous instructor! 1st day of class he hands out a syllabus w/ multiple resources for students to use including the Writing Center, Pantry, EOPS, & more. He's a student himself, yet he offers study groups before the exams, and goes over the entire study guide. Be prepared to take A TON of notes! He wants & encourages his students to succeed.

This was an easy history class. tests are write in only so just have to remember some terms and questions. have to do a research paper which really sucks but he didn't grade it too hard

If you pay attention to his lectures you will do well on the tests. The study guides he gives are great to prepare for the tests. He thoroughly answers all of your questions and is happy to help you succeed.

Fantastic professor. If you need help, all you have to do is ask and you will get great advice. In order to do well on the tests, you must pay attention to the lectures. Our class had lots of great study groups that were super helpful. Overall, I absolutely enjoyed his class and would definitely take it again or take another one of his classes.

Professor Wright class was so much fun and honestly very insprational . He will help you with whatever you need to pass this class and helps you find scholarships. His class was honestly easy, you have no excuse to fail his class. He provides a study guide which is exactly like the tests , and the paper is not that bad. Amazing prof.

By far my favorite professor. His class is very interesting and Professor Wright is very helpful. His class is not hard if you show up to class and take notes. The test are write in only, but he holds a study session the same day before the tests and answers any questions you may have.

I am truly happy I took this teacher to satisfy my history requirement. Book is not necessary, just the book used for presentation. He is helpful, approachable, and his lectures are easy to comprehend. His class was not hard, but studying for the tests is necessary. He also never made you feel dumb for answering something wrong. Great instructor.

Best professor ever here at BC ! He cares about his students and encourages you to take advantage of the resources offered here. Exams are based on lectures and gives you a study guide before hand! One research paper and he is very open to answering questions! Definitely recommend. Pretty easy A, just study its college!

Easy class just lots of note taking thats about it. His lectures are simple and easy to understand. No hw but do study for the exams thats about it which he gives a study guide for ! He offers extra credit and no textbook is required. One of the best professors here. Everything is broken down for you to understand

if your looking for an easy class this is it. Truly cares ad teaches. Everything he puts on the study guide is in the test

Cool guy, I bought the book and we never used it. Only for a book presentation you will need one which you choose. Recommend him. Made history interesting

Really has a good way of teaching. Learned a lot and makes history interesting. All of our work is based on the lecture so I don't recommend missing. Best class I've taken.

dont miss class a lot the tests are based on lecture and you'll understand everything. He really wants you to learn the material and is happy to answer any questions. Nice professor

This class was loads of fun and a at times a challenge. As a Hist major it gave me further and greater context to America's "founding" but events that superseded. Do not mistake Prof. Wright soft spoken approach lightly. He has expectations but is also understanding.

One of the best history classes I have taken. His lectures are understandable and make sure to ask questions. Gives few assignments nothing overwhelming I work 20 hours so if I can do it so can you

You will regret not taking this class. Im not a history person but he made it interesting and engaging. He would sometimes pair us up in groups which was pretty fun and watch movies for educational purposes. Totally worth it.

Not much crazy reading going on, he makes everything simple and easy to comprehend. It was a good class and the note taking is basically the test

Teaches so well. I liked this class its very useful to go so you won't fall behind. He explains it all so simple

I had to take this class for credits and I don't like history much but he breaks it down for you and makes it fun. Notes are based off lectures. The study guide is the questions and terms he gives you for every new lecture you learn. He comes in early to create a study group before the test! He's so awesome and caring! I def reccomend!!!

He explains everything all so well. You won't regret taking this class. He made history interesting and I actually understood it all

attend class and you'll pass with flying colors. He knows his stuff and always gives a study guide beforehand

Amazing professor,makes his class very interested, textbook is used to study only, gives study questions before the exam, study hard and will pass (questions he gives during class are the same in exam). The only tough part in this class was the 7-8 page research paper but he is willing to help out.

history was a breeze this semester. Everything he puts on the slides is on the test. No surprises. 100 percent upfront professor !

Show up and you'll do great. Just make sure to write everything on the slides !

My advice is to take notes and study those notes and you will pass. If you have a heavy course schedule you won't have to stress about this one.

HIstory is my least favorite subject of all time but he made it less unbearable. Lectures are straightforward and he makes it interesting. He is very helpful in his office hours if you have any trouble and encourages you to pass because he cares !

Good professor, class is always better when youve got a good professor that will listen to you and answer your questions

truly awesome guy ! He breaks down each topic into parts and gives extra credit if he sees you struggling. And not just minimal but enough to bring your whole grade up !

He knows we're not all trying to be historians and just taking it for a GE. He thoroughly goes down a timeline. He does not hesitate to study as a class the morning of the exam and you can ask him any last minute questions. He does not make you feel stupid.

Professor Wright was one of my favorite professors. I took him my first semester and everything that was on his lectures was on the tests. Taking notes was easy as well as the exams and if you wanted to study more beforehand, Professor Wright usually held a study group the day of the exam and those were so helpful.

Good feedback

Honestly one if the best professors I've had, I had a very demanding schedule this semester and he was very understanding. The tests mostly come off of the lecture and you have a research paper due towards the end of the class and a book review due mid semester (I didn't have time to do it). As long as you do the work you should pass.

Professor Wright was very energetic, nice, and understanding. He gives you the study guides for the beforehand and they're literally the same. There's also a book report and research paper. He made the material easy to understand and got students to participate. I only got a C because I didn't do some assignments. Highly recommend him for 17b.

Super good professor, his lectures are cohesive and can be followed easily. He's really funny and makes the lectures a pleasure to attend. Every class is a lecture but are very enjoyable. There are 4 tests, a few quizzes, a book report, and a research paper. He's an easy grader with good feedback on assignments.

amazing professor ! He is willing to help if you are struggling. Always makes himself available. He always makes sure we understand the material by asking questions to help prepare for exams. The book is not needed since he pretty much goes through everything in the lecture.

As an online class its seriously easy just make sure to keep up with disussions. Other than that the work is straightforward and the directions are clear. If you need help he offers so many ways to help either through email or tutoring. Really caring guy

Professor Wright has been one of my favorite professors on the BC Campus. He is always helpful and ready to help his students succeed. His lectures are great and easy to follow so prepare to take notes.

He was a really tough professor not going to lie. Number one advice: do the work and STUDY! There's not a lot of assignments so make sure to do well on each one. He is pretty reasonable so don't be afraid to reach out. Its a fun class and you will learn a lot!

Prof. Wright is my favorite professor. Lectures are optional but I wouldn't miss them as all answers to the tests are there. Papers are graded fairly; be aware of your writing skills. He is always open for questions and provides extra help or time needed to submit assignments so don't be afraid to reach out to him!

Professor Wright did a great job! His lectures were really informative and easy to follow. Tests were very easy, just be sure to pay attention to lectures. He was also super flexible with due dates. Highly recommend!

Professor Wright is really caring and understanding. If you communicate with him, he is willing to work with you. I loved his lectures and the exams were easy.

Good professor but does not communicate super clearly. He says that attendance at zoom lectures is optional, he will only post one or two of them in announcements really close to exam dates. The exams are easy if you do the work, but there are some questions on there that weren't in the lectures or material he provided. Be ready for lots of reading

I am currently taking this course and I have never ever written a review... but I absolutely felt like I had to write a review for this... Professor Wright is an amazing teacher. His lectures are important and clear and you call tell he loves and is extremely passionate about his job. I am not a history major but I love this classYou will enjoy it

Jamal Wright is a great professor. The homework that you have to do is weekly discussions, lectures, 4 exams, and a 5-page paper. Even though I did the Extra credit, he did not give me it. That was the only thing that I did not like about him. I email him many times and he said that he will fix it but he did not.

The class is interesting especially the lectures, the work is a bit more heavy with 3 essays and lots of reading. The only con I can name is the high amount of time it takes to grade assignments. I've turned in my paper from the beginning of the semester(it's finals week). Overall, would take the class again, also doesn't post all the readings.

There are 16 modules in this class each with a lecture and discussion.Every 4 mod there would be an exam so 4 exams in total. There was 2 book anaylsis and 1 research paper. Lectures are really nice as well. Overall great and easy class however if you ever need to reach out to him for anything, he is the worst. Very bad communicator but easy class.

Pretty easy and chill class. There's usually only one assignment a week (a discussion), which takes an hour at most. Tests are pretty easy and he's a very lenient grader when it comes to the three writing assignments (two reports on the first and second half of a book, and an analysis at the end of the semester).

My favorite Prof. He's intelligent and makes the class engaging. Do good on exams & quizzes b/c there isn't any hw. He provides study guides before exams and he allows make up assignments,

Weekly discussions, 2 exams a book analysis a final exam and a research paper. He has the best ratings out of all the history teachers so i went for him passed the class it was online he takes his time to grade assignments.

I took his class in person but the experience itself was pretty great, he is very kind and funny often having the class laugh. You should be ready to take 4 exams which may seem hard but are easy if you steady ahead, the primary source quizzes are not too hard since most time he will put you in groups. Pros -Very nice -Homework isn't too tough

Professor Wright is an amazing professor and I would definitely retake his course again. Professor Wright has a judge free class, no answer is the wrong answer. He elaborates your answer and gives you positive feedback, without feeling like your answer was wrong.

Best History teacher alongside the best shoe game. Mr. Wright I would say is one of the most caring professors I had at BC and cared about the value of education for every one of us. I loved his style of teaching with multiple media formats and then calling on people to make sure they were paying attention. Highly recommend it if you want to learn!

Took his class my first year of college he is a amazing professor the way he speaks and expands his teachings is awesome. Made everyone feel comfortable in his class and give each person in class a opportunity to have a opinion and speak. I would highly recommend taking this class in person as I couldn't imagine it without face to face.

This class is weekly discussions, four exams, book analysis, and a research paper. He is extremely slow at grading which is a procrastination, you cannot make any mistakes or you will get a low grade. It happened to me since I got a 2/7 on one of my discussions for not doing it correct. Pretty easy class if you like doing discussions weekly.

I'm usually terrible with history and was dreading this class but I did well in this class. You will have some work because the exams are pretty involved and you will need to do a realitivly difficult final project. But Prof. Wright is very willing to work with students if you genuinely try. Fun, caring guy! Would definitely recommend!

He's a history professor of course there is going to be reading, what did you expect? Read the syllabus, do the readings, watch the lectures you'll pass the class fine. I would definitely take again!

He is a great professor, a lot of interactions with other classmates to make sure you're understanding the work given, just a awesome professor 10/10 would recommend, easy class to have and a lot of interesting topics.

This professor assigned very long weekly discussions. But I guess it was alright because it was an online class. He is a tough grader and doesn't frequently reply to emails. The textbook required for the class wasn't really used but for 1 or 2 assignments.

Dr. Wright was a great professor. You can tell he is really passionate about what he teaches. Exams are super easy as long as you show up to review day.

Professor Wright was a good teacher and although they had many assignments due on Thursdays, they were relatively easy. Passionate about the subject and easy to understand. Textbooks aren't used much and can be found easily online. Take this class if you need credits.

I took b17a which is a discussion, quiz each week. He is a very tough grader, he takes a while like 4 weeks to a month to grade. Although the class is easy if you just watch the lectures and read the question carefully on the quizzes. There is also a book analysis and research paper. This professor is recommended as he easy to take.

Btw the textbooks aren't really needed cause you will just need to watch the lectures, and he has zero communication which is hard to contact. Just do the work and don't make any mistakes then you're fine. Sometimes if you make one mistake he will give you a LOW grade so please don't mess up. It's basic and simple just follow the stuff and ur good.

Such an amazing professor, he makes lectures very interesting you can tell he's passionate about teaching and he does not make you feel dumb for asking questions. The exams are very easy as well, but they are a little writing heavy. You will have to do a research paper as well, but you get to choose your topic.

AMAZING class when taken IN PERSON!! very understanding and has a genuine interest in his students' success. Exams are lengthy in writing, but he provides study guides with the exact questions that will be on the test. I genuinely do not understand how failing this class in person is possible.

This class was amazing. Very reliant on notes and lectures so come to class. Professor Wright is caring and very well-educated on this topic. He gives multiple opportunities to get your grade up. The tests are write-in answers so you need to study your notes but they are not difficult if you come to class. 10/10 recommend.

Professor Wright is very passionate about his lectures, but they are dense lectures so show up to class and take lots of notes. In class discussions are very important, and he may replaces quizzes with them. I wouldn't say he is a hard grader, put in the effort and you will get a good grade.
