It all came down to the exams and trust me they are not easy! The professor I'd say is good at his job but if you want to pass READ the chapters before class AND STUDY A Lot!! This was the hardest class I've taken out of my whole 3 college years but the class is doable if you put the effort.

Great professor, really nice and doesn't make you feel stupid if you are confused on a certain topic. This class is not an easy one though. Make sure to read the book that goes with the class because the power points alone will not help you. Overall, a good experience!

Professor Wright is an extremely rad teacher. He is not an easy one though. His lectures cover the general terms and information but you HAVE to read the textbook in order to understand his tests. He gives little 10 question quizzes after a few chapters. He is a funny guy and I would recommend you take him but be ready to study the textbook!

Great professor. Keeps things interesting. Wants students to pass. 3 exams: not cumulative, focuses on ideas not defs. Usually has a reading quiz every week: specific studies in the book. Not much homework, small assignments in class. Read and the class is easy and entertaining. Summary: listen to some lectures, watch movies, and play with bugs

I am a 39 year old student who is going back to school to get my degree. Of all the teachers that I had in my past college experiences, Mr. Wright was one of the nicest,most professional, inspirational, and simply just a great college professor! He loves what he teaches and it shows in his class. He is one of the best!

The tests get harder as the semester goes on and we didn't have many quizzes until the last few weeks of the semester. The lab tests are pretty tough and detailed. Get ready to memorize alot towards middle to end of the semester because the chapters are packed with info for the tests. He is a nice guy and tries to make the class more interesting.

He is an awsome professor. He answers all questions and is easy to understand. Just study off the book and you will be fine. I got an A in the class. His labs and quizzes are easy if you studied. It's not an easy A but if you put in some time you will do great. He is also a really nice and cool guy.

He lectures every class but makes it interesting! He has a good sense of humor which makes the class easier to attend. There is a lab almost every class so you must be there... Nothing too hard though. Doesn't put grades in a lot and only a few things to get grades on. If you are wondering though, he is SUPER CUTE!!!!

The class will only be difficult if you make it that way. Of course there is always work but you'd be doing yourself a solid if you study and read the book.

Professor Wright was the easiest professor ever! He is super nice and chill. 3 Exams, all of them are easy! Just do your experiments and homework and you'll pass the class. Have to look at and/or deal with bugs, so if you don't like that stuff you might not like this class. He taught us how to feed butterflies. A slow grader, but very fun class.

i believe this professor and this class was one of the most amazing classes i ever had. he is very inspirational about biology and makes you to increase your knowledge. but this class is hard you have to be ready for really study for this materials. he is not awful like other people said, this class needs work. ofcourse it is awful for lazy people

He is very inspiring and he teaches material in way that stick to your mind even after the course. Very helpful and caring about his students and also very funny. The tests are hard but if you listen to the lecture and read his power points very carefully you would be fine. there are some pop quizzes so always study for class. He is good and kind.

Prof. Wright is enthusiastic, highly knowledgeable and cares about his students. If you like sustainability, ecology and related topics I would recommend ENV1. It's fun, interesting and much easier than the Bio classes he teaches. Also, visit him in office hours. He is easy to talk to and will help you with anything you don't understand.

OMG, no idea why people are giving him such low reviews. Love this guy, love his class. He can be kind of nerdy but he shows a lot of passion for the material he teaches. I've really come to learn and understand a lot about the world through his class. Definitely something that I will take with me forever.

One of the best Bio teachers I've ever had. The passion he has for what he teaches makes him an excellent professor. His tests can be tough, but if you record his lectures and read the textbook and take notes, you should be fine; just don't fall behind on the lab drawings! Also don't be shy to ask him about his amazing bug collection!

Prof. Wright is a great Professor but he expects you to do some work as well. If you ever need help he is easy to get a hold of in his office pretty regularly and always willing to further explain anything. Passionate for sure but sometime you get a question on an exam and you're thinking,"Did we cover this?". Still a great teacher.

For his Bio1L lab you can totally ignore any low scores. He's 100% fine for that lab. I talked with everybody in that lab, and no one had even a single complaint about him. He knows the material, he works with people who had issues, he was not a tough grader at all. You maybe need to spend 1 hour a week on writing/studying & you should be fine.

Easily one of the best Science professors Ive ever had. Im not very good at biology, but this guy really encourages and teaches in ways that help you work hard for your grade, he mainly grades with just exams so defiantly keep that in mind, but if you study with him after class youll be fine. Trust me when I say this guy is the WRIGHT choice!

Great teacher who's really passionate about the subject. There isn't really homework, but the labs are easy opportunities to buff up your grade. There are a handful of tests, but as long as you pay attention and do the labs, study guides, and read occasionally, they should be easy A's. It is Bio though, so if you have bad memory you might struggle.

I was so surprised to see that this professor only has a 27% rating. The professor is understanding, interesting, and makes being at school enjoyable. He is probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. You can tell that he actually cares about the information he's teaching about. I cannot express how much I wish everyone took this course!!!

He is very enthusiastic about his class. His lectures are good and not boring. He assigns quizzes but they're easy and short. As long as you pay attention, you'll get a good grade. He explains well if you ask him a question. Great prof.

So I took a class with this professor 2 years ago. I did okay in the class(I'm not the best in bio), but he's the most attractive professor I have ever seen. Just wanted to put that out there.

He is a very nice guy, lectures are good and chill, labs are super easy, exams ain't easy but if you read the textbook you will get an A. He is a good choice, just skip through the lectures, take notes of textbook and be able to apply your knowledge. 2 midterm, 1 final--> 30-40 multiple choice, 1-2 free response 16 labs each 3 points online quizes

I love this guy. Due to COVID19 our class is now online and I couldn't love this class any better. He is so flexible on due date, quizzes can be hard, labs are super easy, exams require thorough textbook reading and being able to connect all the materials, but it is doable. He is such a good guy and grades labs and free responses so easy! Def recom

I enjoyed this class so much, he is a really good professor and is passionate about what he does and teaches. He wants you to learn the information and apply it. be prepared for the short answer questions, but he usually gives you HUGE hints as to what they will be on.

Bio 1 with professor Wright was extremely challenging and could get very stressful when studying for exams. I studied a lot and barely got an A that was rounded up from an 89.7%. Exams and quizzes mostly make up grade, Study HARD from textbook even small details. If its part of an included chapter on an exam, STUDY IT. He's very knowledgeable.

Not sure why his ratings are so low. He seems like a fine prof to me. Make sure you take good notes, listen to his lectures, and read the book! The quizzes are easy so far. I intend on majoring in Env Sci so take my review with a grain of salt, I know much of this content already. I will probably update this review after I take my first exam.

He was one of my favorite and most memorable profs. Hes passionate about what he teaches and his students. Very fun and spunky guy. He was also generous enough to write me a letter of rec for transfer. I may have had a small crush on him so may be biased...

I loved his class! I was struggling at the beginning --He gave me great tips on how to study and some hints on what to focus my energy on which is the only reason why I got an A. Beware though: You won't have any assignments for weeks and then BOOM! you've got quizzes, discussions, and the final exam all in one! Study on your own ahead of time!

He does not care for your labs. Be prepare for super detailed exams. I got 89% and he did not give me an "A". Lectures are not boring.

This class was one of the easiest class I've taken. Some weeks there are no homework, and the quizzes are open book with unlimited time. The exams were straight to the point, and he gives a study guide. As long as you keep up with the material and study, you'll pass.

Honestly a super easy class and professor as long as you read the book. He posts both lectures and chapters to read, and honestly I just did the reading and aced everything. Super light work load, with a short quiz almost every week, three exams, and that's it. Definitely recommend taking for the GPA boost!

He is a good professor, and biology in general is not an easy subject but he makes the information easy to understand, and he tells you where to go to for test and quizzes.

Lenient when grading labs and exam frqs. Lots of memorization and specifics in the material, but as long as you put in the time to study and read the book, you should be fine. The reading guides and potential exam frqs are super helpful and cover the majority of the exam material. He's a funny guy and you can tell he loves the subject he teaches.

There are very few assignments, so grades are heavily based on exams. Although this class is very lecture heavy, Prof. Wright is clearly very passionate about this subject and always incorporates humor and fun into his lectures. He's an amazing person, but be prepared for heavy note-taking and reading.

I took Professor Wright last semester for Bio80, and although the class was difficult, Professor Wright is a fun and caring professor who had clear grading criteria. The exam questions were straight forward and taken out of the textbook, plus he provided possible free-response questions on the study guides. I definitely recommend to take him!

Only con is that you have to do alot of studying out side of class. The PowerPoints aren't much to go off from. The tests are a mix of multiple choice and free response, in which the free response is given to you a week ahead of time. If you want a professor whos passionate about BIO and actually cares for student success then I 100% recommend Mr.W

Absolutely amazing professor!! Hilarious and super caring.

He's a great professor and really cares about his students succeeding in his class. He gave my class an extension on a test and a retake opportunity if we weren't happy with our grade. His lectures are fun and interesting and he's a really nice dude overall. Just make sure you study for the tests because they're a large portion of your grade

Flat-out great professor, rly don't know why its so low. REALLY PASSIONATE about his subjects and funny so his lectures flew by. Labs were not difficult but expect a-lot of drawing. During summer we had 3 tests and 4 lab quizzes. Free response and study guide were posted weeks before the tests and he graded easily. Just study hard review well.

Possibly the best professor I've ever taken, and the most engaging lectures I've ever experienced. If you really pay attention during his lectures, which is not hard to do because of how interesting he is to listen to, you'll know exactly what to expect on the exam as it's all covered. Highly recommend this class.

He's really funny and his lectures are good. Yes he uses slides, but it's not like he's sitting there reading them word for word, he's lecturing on his own and will also let you know what information you need to know for the test. Because of this, it is CRUCIAL that you actually attend the class because reading the slides on your own will not do it

Passionate and inspiring, he's dedicated to biology. Ready to answer any questions, he offers helpful free-response samples for exams. Remember, the course is challenging; it's not easy. Attend office hours. Consider taking foundational bio classes if you lack a biology background, otherwise, it will be very tough. Monthly short hw quizes, no hw.

Hands down the best professor I've ever had. While the course I took was pretty challenging, just showing up to his lectures and paying attention there would guarantee that you get at least a C the exam, as he is very good at breaking down difficult concepts and explaining them in a way that everyone will be able to understand.

I honestly don't know why his rates are so low, Professor Wright is the best biology teacher I've ever had. He is super passionate about biology and made the lectures super engaging and interesting. Exams are pretty fair as long as you pay attention to lectures and read the textbook. I would definitely recommend his class!!

He's really not bad. My personal favorite professor. He's passionate about his work and tries to make bio fun and interesting. If you are struggling just go talk to him he is really nice. Tests are based off powerpoints with examples being from the textbook. If you read the textbook and take decent notes on the powerpoints you should be fine.

Awesome prof. Best advice in this class is just to stay on top of things- fell a bit behind on the second exam and it really hurt me. Super informative lectures and is overall just a great professor to talk to- especially if you're already interested in biology. He is really passionate about what he teaches and puts a lot of care into his work :)

This online class was fairly easy, but you need to put in some effort, read the book, and watch his video lectures to get good scores on the quizzes. No "homework" assignments and around 2 easy discussion posts. I would recommend taking this class if you need the credits.

Professor Wright is incredibly passionate about biology and makes the lectures engaging. Stay on top of the material, use the textbook and resources like unstuck ai, and you'll do well. The class has challenging exams, but the prof provides great support.

He was a great professor, taught in a very energetic and sarcastic way. His exams were straightforward whatever we had discussed in class. As a student you just had to take full and complete notes to get an A, and the textbook before class. Definitely would take a class with him again.

hes hilarious. unfortunately you will not be able to find this man outside of class without a bounty hunter and the class is HARD. no weighted categories and course is inconsistent with the syllabus (point categories are unclear, every single assignment will fundamentally change your grade).

As a D1 procrastinator who took BIO80H and has bad memory, I still managed an A every exam. My advice: DONT SKIP LECTURES. He made concepts stick and introduced them well. Also READ THE TEXTBOOK. I'd read all the exam chapters 1-2 days before (yes it was draining but worth it) and then DO THE STUDY GUIDE as exam FRQs are the same as the study guide

Professor Wright is just a chill guy. He doesn't care if you turn things in late and doesn't gaf about your lab worksheets. I appreciate his chillness. You can tell he doesn't care for the materialistic parts of class and cares more about what you learned and how you apply them in real life. He is the realest goat and wears Jesus sandals to class.

Cool prof, but real test heavy. I had to request more quizzes at the end of the semester on behalf of classmates because everyone's grade was borderline. Still, tests are kind of hard if you don't stay on track with the readings. It moves really fast. However, he makes his lectures really entertaining and cracks some good jokes every now and then.

This professor is truly the best, he is one of the chillest professors I have ever meet. He is very passionate about what he teaches and it makes the whole case super fun. The tests are pretty easy and exactly like the study guide, so I would say stick to studying the study guides. Also there is no cumulative final.
