Had her for an online class. Not so easy. Lot of material to cover and papers.
I found that communications with Ms. Wright were frustrating. Her answers to questions often required additional questions as answers were rarely clear. Assignment due dates would be extended after the majority of the class submitted the assignment. She relies heavily on providing an over abundance of reference material rather than real teaching.
Is a hard grader. If you dont turn in your paper with the correct heading, title, ect. you get like 20 points taken off your paper
This was the worst teacher I have ever had. She is VERY tough on grading, makes spelling mistakes in her instructions yet tears you apart for them, is unable to work with you or doesn't care to, and does not refuses to reconsider her grading standards. Half the class filed a grievance against her through the deans office for her poor grading standa
I prefer to take a Literature class from a professor who has not participated in banning books as this teacher admittedly has. Seriously? Who teaches a literature course and mentions their experience in banning books?? Also, the material in this course is geared towards education majors and NOT Kid's Lit!!! The catalog description is misleading!
Hand down the WORST teacher I have had. She is unorganized, forgetful, unfair with grading, and shows little interest in teaching. She showed up to my class 5 minutes late all the time. She also assignes more homework than anything learned in class. She also does not post grades online, which makes it hard to know how you are doing in class.
She shows little interest in helping students, makes spelling mistakes VERY often, is unfair with grading, hard to talk to, unorganized, and doesn't show much knowledge about what she is teaching. HORRIBLE TEACHER!
I am an A/B average student and found that this teacher was very unfair with grading, doesn't like to compromise with you even on her mistake behalf, and is extremely unhelpful. However, if you do take her class make sure to do EVERY assignment to your best ability and do the extra credit!
The worst teacher i have ever had, dont care about students, dont even try to help them. She is not fair with her grading. As a teacher, she should not say something like "If you are not going to pass this class, you will lower my grade average and trust me, i will do everything to fail you when you will be in my class again." Seriously?
I took her class and saw a dramatic improvement in my writing as a result of what she covered in class. I think people think she's hard because she expects alot and wants you to be successful. The Academic Behavior assignment changed the way I view my responsibility for my education, for the better.
She is a not teacher dude she gives to much homework and she is so bad
Very clear about the course and she knows what can go wrong. She was very clear before class began
She made it clear of what she expected before the class. She assigned too much homework for what was being taught. She had a hard time with grades, blackboard wasnt working to anyones advantage most the time. She sucks as a teacher but as long as you do the work, you should pass.
I agree with all the comments that were made by the student; I read don't know if she knows that she is making spelling errors on her writing as well. this is a writing /grammar class them, she needs to check her own spelling errors. Furthermore, she does grade hard, and some of her assignments really don't make any sense, they are worded weird.
Please,what ever you do not take her because she is a not a good teacher if you want to learn. She does not grade homework in a timely matter. She waits until the semester is ending to give you a 8 paragraph essay on something that she never discussed.She does try and put you down and tell each student something different to do on their assignment.
She is the wrost teacher ever she gives alot of homework that she doesn't collect and she long handout don't explain it. My advice is do not take her. If you have her choose another teacher.
She is the worst teacher ever, I really believe someone else grades her work and she relies on sites like safe assign to grade her work w/o taking into consideration, it could be wrong. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU WANT TO LEARN. She is no help and gives late email responses which cause you to turn in late work which she will not accept.
I want to warn those that may be registering for the fall. This teachers assignments are unclear, while it is a summer course she herself appears to be unfocused and uninterested. Since the assignments are unclear it is hard to complete the work effectively. I've had bad teachers but most have been fair this one so far is not.
She is the WORSE teacher I have EVER had!!!She assigns so much homework and gives you NO guidance at all! Avoid at all cost if you want to pass
Without a doubt, the most worthless teacher in the history of Triton College. Could care less about the students. Never replied to emails. I sent her 3 emails with questions and she finally replied two weeks later after I had to contact her department head. I would withdraw, flunk out, and become homeless before I took a class with her again. Avoid
A horrible instructor. She doesn't teach, doesn't explain is completely disorganized. Would not recommend taking her classes
I've had bad teachers before, but she is by far the WORST teacher I have ever had in my life and I am not exaggerating. She makes everything so confusing, and is horrible at explaining things. Videos and links never worked most of the time. Also, she has attitude and doesn't care to help her students. HORRIBLE.
Her assignments are overwhelming and frankly ridiculous for an intro class. Avoid her if you can.
I'm a straight A student and I barely passed this class. Do not take her class.
From the syllabus to the rude comments to the lack of grading assignments and not being able to or not wanting to correct her mistakes online. I don't recommend this class from the first assignment until the end was a horrific experience. Even if you do all the work on time your grade will not reflect it. She seems lazy and rude.
She is not interested in teaching students. No explanation, no grades online.
She is the WORST teacher I have ever had. DO NOT TAKE HER!!! She is lazy, rude, inconsiderate, confusing, etc. the list goes on! If I could rate her zeros, instead of 1s I would. I don't know how she is a teacher.
This was the most frustrating teacher I have ever encountered. I've never complained about a teacher before but I went out of my way to do so about her. She is rude, condescending, extremely unclear and unwilling to help. I took an online class so perhaps she is better in person, but I just can't imagine that she is. I don't want to find out.
She is such a rude person. She makes demeaning comments to students, she's offensive and never had any positive feedback. I am a student at ISU and needed Children's Lit so I made the mistake of taking it at Triton with this teacher. I'm not sure why she is still working as a teacher. She clearly does not care about anyone other than herself.
Mrs Wright is extremely helpful in her class. Take her if you want to learn.
Please Please Please do yourself the favor and avoid this instructor at all costs. She is very bad at communicating or helping students. Total Witch. Assigns crap that no one else in the english department at triton is assigning, I swear I have never seen anything like it. Save yourself the head ache. Reading galore, Assignments Galore, no help.
This instructor is truly awful! Avoid her at all costs if you want to continue to do well at triton. She assigns a ton of home work is not very communicative and is super confusing. Makes you read books on top of assignments on my writing lab and discussion questions on top of writing papers.
Please please please read through the comments listed. Since 2011 everyone has had a negative thing to say about her. She is very unclear, assigns more homework then any full time student with no job, can maintain, and is a difficult grader that believes in "Earning your A." This is 101 and is more like a 501. The amount of work required is ubsurd
Worst teacher of life!!!! I have never had a problem with writing essays, but with her she made me feel like the stupidest person on earth! Do your self a favor and DON'T TAKE HER! she is horrible, rude, not helpful, and just simply the worst experience i have ever had!
Save yourself the trouble and avoid this professor. Not only is she unclear about assignments, if you ask a question you will be put down and not have your question answered. No help at all. Worst experience I've ever had.
I never rate teachers, but I'm going out of my way for this because it's, quite simply, unbelievable. The instructions are vauge at best. I emailed 2 times and never heard back. I tried calling. I finally decided to track down her office. She was rude, defensive and belittling; being the intellectual superior she so clearly is. She was 0 help.
Tough class, Be prepared to read your life away! She doesn't lecture, she actually detest lecturing. She offers LITTLE/NO help. You will use other sources for feedback, except from her. She Expects students to read and annotate everything, and As well, be prepared for advice from everyone ex
I don't even know where to begin with this lady. She is the WORST teacher I have ever had. She doesn't make her instructions clear, she's extremely unhelpful and makes zero sense during lectures. She consistently talks in circles and assigns more homework than any normal person can handle. Impossible to reach out of class and she's extremely rude.
Not a good teacher. Save yourself your money and time. Is not clear with assignments. The more she explains the more confusing it gets. Assigns so many readings that only confuse you.
This teacher is the worst thing to ever come out of triton college. I dont know how this woman still has a job. 35 students withdrew from this class. She failed my paper because I did not have thesis when I stayed after class asking her if my thesis was ok and she said "YES, IT'S GREAT." STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS WOMAN!
Very vague assignment descriptions, horribly slow at grading papers, very critical grader, expects you to revise your assignment and rewrite it in HER words. Really adds no value to your educational experience.
She is not help whatsoever. This is the most time consuming class I have and she adds on extra steps to homework last minute. She doesn't explain properly & the more she explains the more difficult it becomes & leaves you even more confused. I have straight B's and have an F in her class which I try the hardest in. I just hope I even pass.
I never rated before but I felt the need to. She is painfully unclear and puts you down when asked to clarify. I waited outside her office for an hour seeking help with an appt. and never showed, Not even an email. I then went ahead with the homework with no help and was criticized for poor work. Stay away.
I'll attempt her classes are hard, but she's helped me with improving my writing. I understand when to use quotes and when not to, what types of quotes are best, and how to properly format a good paragraph. She does give you a lot of homework and small papers to write, but if you do the work the lowest grade you should get is a B.
She was never really helpful and reading her assignments alone took work! It was ridiculous. I remember when a student asked for help regarding something on blackboard all she said to him was to click the help button on the upper right corner. I read that and thought..."Are you kidding me?!"
She's terrible just terrible... took her online RHT class and damn she was soooo terrible... super unclear of what she wanted.. hw assignments made no sense....
Dr. Wright is one of the worst English professors I have ever encountered. She is very unclear of how she relays her expectations and when you ask her for help, she will respond in a very condescending and belitting way. You will end up relying on your online tutor that she gives you. Not sure how she got her doctorate...
The class was extremely difficult, as a matter of fact, students who have taken the same class but different professor, didn't have to do as much work. Very unrealistic expectations by the professor.
Disorganized, changes the instructions of the tasks and is not constant with the instructions, ambiguous and incompetent to teach the lessons. This teacher expects students to read 3-4 chapter each week. This teacher traumatizes students, it's a walking nightmare.
I am a good writer and I would not get any better than a "C" on each paper! She is a tough grader. I would only take her if she was my last option and it was a mandatory class I had to take. At the end of the semester I had a 78% or 79% and she still gave me a C and didn't curve it.
I took the online class. It was very confusing to navigate through the material online. Definitely a tough grader.
Worst professor ever!!! Do not take her class. I would take this class at another college before taking her class. Very tough grader and she is very disorganized and very unclear with instructions. Beware of this one.
This is the worst professor Ive ever had.
Don't do it!!!! please drop the course!! I took this class with another Professor and I got a A+!!! She gave me a D lol!! Triton needs to get rid of her...
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Her course organization is a disaster. She makes you jump through useless hoops of making accounts on different websites. How can I turn in rough drafts of my paper for review and she graded them as 100% no comments but when I put them together I get a D-? 43 credits and a 3.7GPA I withdrew to keep it that way.
Instructions very confusing. Tough grader. No extra credit to correct mistakes. Horrible feedback. When asked to clarify she refer me to her announcements
Her course organization is a MESS! She goes from one topic, and then when you least expect it she's on 3 other topics at once!! She doesn't teach, she instead gives youtube links to learn.
You won't ever get a grade higher than a C on a paper. This is extremely frustrating as you need a C to pass. We started the class with over 20 students and ended with around 8. Lots of homework which I typically don't mind but it really doesn't help with writing papers. Her responses are always very vague. I received way better grades in RHT102.
I had read negative reviews about Dr. Wright prior to my taking her class, but thank God I didn't pay attention to them. Dr. Wright is an exceptional instructor with a heart. She truly cares about her students doing good. Taking her class was one of the best decisions I've made during my academic years. Thank you for a great semester Dr. Wright.
Dr. Wright makes you work hard to earn a good grade but cares for the success of her students by giving feedback. 2 assignments at end are worth practically half of your grade so have to do good on those as well as discussions and other papers. Tough class but learned a lot from it.
Dr Wright waited until the final assignment to provide constructive feedback. She graded assignments without explaining the basis for the marks received. Did not respond quickly to feedback. I do not recommend this class or this professor to anyone. It was harder to stay afloat in this class than in classes with tougher subject material.
Dr. Wrights attitude often seems like she does not care about her struggling students. The sad part is that most of her students are struggling. She makes her assignments difficult to understand and no matter how hard we try to comprehend them or no matter how hard we try its never good for her. If you can stay away from her 101 class!
I wish they gave more characters. Long story short, despite several attempts to get a hold of Professor Wright for clarifications on assignments and the minimal feed back I was given, I never received any kind of response, not even a lazy generic check the text book. It was very clear that she does not care, I would no recommend her.
Ms. Wright is the hardest teacher I've ever had and her class made it the hardest to get out of bed. She loves to pick a fight and not explain things to us. She's not much help when you ask for help and have struggled the entire semester to get a good grade. Beware and just don't put yourself through it. :/
I took a Rhetoric class online. The assignment descriptions were often unclear and when asked about she would refer you back to the instructions which again I had issues understanding. She gets a 3 because I found the class helpful and when given an assignment she gave us info where exactly we can find the information needed to complete it.
Dr. Wright is very unclear with directions and an extremely tough/ unfair grader. I got a C in the class and it is the only C I have ever recieved at Triton. I will have to retake this course because the major I want at my university requires at least a B in RHT 101. I wish I would have checked this site originally before taking her class. Beware!
Sassy professor. Do not bother asking for help.
very frustrating and uncertain way of teaching
I just barley passed this course, the assignments are incredibly difficult and should not be given to students in an introductory course. Every little detail is checked and I highly suggest going with another teacher. This course was way to difficult even for an experienced writer like myself. Please do yourself a favor and check for another prof.
very condescending and rude. made a huge mistake on my final grade and did not bother to look into it. I had to write a petition and it was finally corrected. don't waste your money on the class if shes the teacher!
So I'm not one to complain much about school, however as far as I've been in school, this professor has been my worst. She expects perfect paragraphs to be done, and no matter what will find something to complain about. Also a major factor is when it comes to all the essays , there is absolutely no creativity at all, your thoughts get locked away.
I think she takes pleasure in seeing students struggle. I have never seen such despicable behavior from a professor. Whenever I asked for help, she responded in a snarky manner and dodged my questions. I go to a top-ranked university and took this as a summer class. I am used to harsh professors who give constructive feedback. She was just useless.
Unusually difficult for an introduction course. I took both RHT 101 and 102 and regretted choosing her as my professor. I STRUGGLED to earn a C and each paper took hours to write in order to find any error yet I still never got a grade higher than a C. I am not being dramatic, I just hope to help those who are considering enrolling.
Dr. Wright isn't as bad as people make her out to be. Her directions may be unclear at times but she'll happily explain it until you understand. You can also ask for help on assignments and she'll help. She does give out a lot of assignments, it can be hard to keep up with at times. To sum it up, if u don't want to do work then don't take her class
Dont take her
Bad and difficult teacher. Would not recommend at all.
wouldn't take her again just not good over all. Rather drop the class and take it again .
Unclear with assignments and papers. Even though I followed the rubric and turned my assignments in on time I always got a D. She would claim that my analysis was not specific. However, that does not merit a student a 60%. She made the class unecessarily difficult for an INTRODUCTION course. There is absolutely no reason for her to be so harsh.
Teacher is very difficult. She goes way to much in depth than an intro class should. When ever there was a question asked she never understood the question. All her assignments and instructions are unclear. One time everyone did the assignment wrong and she made us redo the whole thing instead of seeing that it was her explanation that was unclear.
Horrible at explaining assignments. Goes too much into detail 10/10 would not recommend.
So dismissive of peoples questions, snarky and dodged any questions asked. Did not explain what her incredibly confusing instructions actually meant, and graded unnecessarily harshly. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES EVER.
Horrible teacher! Didn't teach anything instead send me every time with all my questions to tutors.
I did not learn anything from her specifically. There was no constructive feedback on the essays that I have submitted throughout the course. The lectures were very unclear and all over the place. She does not treat students with much respect and has an authoritative attitude. The only help that I received came from brainfuse and grammarly.
By far the worst professor I've had at Triton and i've had a few! She's very difficult and expects perfect work. I was taking her summer course and it's only been a week in and I've already had to drop it. She ALWAYS find something to complain about. Do not recommend!
This professor is ridiculous is expectations, grading and instructions. Both her classes would be so confused and majority get her assignments wrong yet she believed it was our interpretation of the directions as opposed to her actual directions being too detailed and confusing. Claimed she welcomed questions but would ridicule you for asking. NO!!
Never take her. The homework is so confusing, she doesn't explain it right. She sucks at getting back to you so don't even bother emailing her. Nothing is ever good enough for her, she will find something to criticize. She gives so much attitude. I was super happy receiving a C in her course and I would be anxious checking my grade. Just stay away.
she is THE worst teacher ive ever had, she doesnt care at all about helping you and will instead yell at you, be extremely authoritative and rude, and instead leave you on your own. Also heads up, this a direct quote from her if you follow EVERYTHING on the rubric you will only get a C, it is up to me if you get a A or B, !!! PLEASE BEWARE!!!
So much work to do! Youll be writing a 1000+ word essay every week, youll have to revise it 2 days after you submitted it & basically rewrite the whole thing or she will give you no credit!! Horrible teacher. Does not care about you. She will fail you even when youve done all of her work. WOULD NEVER TAKE AGAIN.
I took this course in full on e-learning. She lacks clarity in explaining assignments/direction and grades extremely hard. There were many times where I felt insulted asking for help. I would not recommend her.
Extremely difficult class with unrealistic expectations. States various times she has made her students cry; unacceptable. Relies on peer reviews yet talks down on our work. VERY DEROGATORY. Dislikes confrontation and being challenged. Will talk down on your work and leave you to figure out how to compose an essay yourself. Needs to be addressed!
She knows her stuff but doesnt know how to teach it. She makes rude comments & makes you feel dumb when asking for help. In the beginning of the course she specifically says that the highest you can get on papers is a C. I really wish I had seen these reviews before. Don't waste your money/ time unless you have no problems with all this and more.
English has always been my best subject..... until I met this professor. This class was supposed to be basic reading comprehension, Not read all these useless things that don't even have to do with the module. I tried working with her only to receive harsh criticism. never had a bad experience in college till I met her.
Wow shes horrible! Drop NOW. She will be rude & a hypocrite by making the exact same mistakes she yells at class for making! Harsh grading, doesnt read papers herself, just lets a tutor do it. Never taught a thing, doesnt have one original or deep thought about English lit in her body. Never talked about books or poems, just plagiarism & citing
So disappointed w/ this professor at Triton. She is disrespectful & doesn't care about helping students. She will not explain & I would continue to reach out to her through email. She would not respond. I contacted her department head & asked if she could get a hold of her. She responded to me & said "your emails will be going to my junk mail".
PLEASE READ ALL THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS ABOUT THIS PROFESSOR! I have never met such a horrible & rude teacher. I CONTACTED HER DEAN, showed how SHE NEVER GRADED, emails our classmates sent about her, and the horrible reviews she has and HE DIDNT CARE. Our class started with 30some kids and ONLY 5 OF US DIDNT DROP THE CLASS. PLEASE TAke a diff. course
Dr. Wright has no respect for her students, she bullies and belittles her students for fun. She does not read any of the books or notes that she gives us and simply plagiarized throughout her lectures. One main thing she said was "I don't care how hard you work, it will be up to me who gets an A' to everyone. She is unprofessional and threats.
All instructions and prompts are unclear. Her feedback is not helpful or constructive. I should've dropped.
Nothing satisfied Dr Wright. Did all assignments and worked hard to only receive a D.,11 points short of a C, which stopped me being able to graduate. In order to get IAI credit your grade must be a C or better. Her responses are rude! Being a B average student this was a huge disappointment should of dropped it.
She is one of the worst teachers I have ever had in my life. She gives back the worst feedback, in fact, she gives barely anything at all. She's useless as a teacher and then is the hardest grader. If you have any problems she'll disregard you and say take it up with the board. Super rude, doesn't care for her students.
Worst educator Ive had in my life. Extremely poor communication skills, extremely critical with vague instructions. Good luck getting clarification or asking a question with a respectful/genuine response. I developed anxiety every time an assignment was graded. 0/10
Rude. Gives very vague instruction with a very condescending attitude. Seems irritated to be asked questions. Also, a heads up if you're taking an online course, she wants your camera on all class, every class.
Do not take her class unless you are also a professor. She will never be satisfied with any work you do. Every assignment will be an anxiety inducing, hair pulling, frustrating ordeal. The first assignment she typed the exact same thing to everyone with whom she was unsatisfied by their work. A curt "you're wrong, do it over or I'll grade this".
Don't take this class unless you want to become/are a professional writer. I don't think she gives the best constructive criticism and she's usually never satisfied with the work that is turned in. She is an extremely hard grader and asks for a lot of effort for little points for discussions.
She was a horrible professor rude and not caring difficult with grading. she would never explain or help me. she would make me do it myself and look it up. Dropped my class and didn't receive any money from it didn't care. Drop do not take her!!!! she is rude if you ask her a question. Will never take her class again.
Very tough grader. Good intentions just way too hard of a class. would not recommend.
Hi everyone! I wish I had read these reviews before taking this Prof's class. She is an EXTREMELY tough grader. I have reached out to other students in class and one said she is "praying for a C." Well, so am I! Please be warned and find a different class PRONTO
Do not take this class. She is the RUDEST teacher at Triton. Doesnt even email professionally. The absolute worst do not take her class you will regret it.
a horrible teacher, un-respectable, rude, un-clear instructions, I dropped this class just to get red of her .hopefully Triton college dean read all the rate about the worse teacher they have.
Spare yourself the headaches, anxiety, disappointment, time (especially with the ridiculous time consuming discussion boards that are only worth a lousy 10 points) and money! I really wish I would've read the reviews first before committing to this class definitely regret it.
I wouldn't recommend her at all. It was hard to follow along when she was talking especially If you stopped paying attention for half a second. I didn't even bother going to the final because she was a tough grader and I knew there wasn't any hope. One good thing about her was that she graded the assignments and responded to emails pretty quickly.
This was by far the worst professor at Triton. I love this school and all professors are great. Learned nothing from her class. Expects far too much from students and does not give clear instructions. STAY AWAY! If you want to receive a failing grade then by all means take her class. SO much work that doesnt pertain to course. Triton do better.
Wright has been one of the worst teachers I have ever had in my academic career. Her grading scale is way too steep for a FRESHMAN rhetoric class in a COMMUNITY college. Its astonishing how she is still allowed to teach and I don't know anywhere else to complain but here. She admitted to refusing to grade essays is they stray from certain criteria.
I went into this class thinking I would be fine because there was no other teacher teaching this online class and it looked like my only option plus I figured I was good in English so it would be fine. Biggest mistake. Professor Wright expects WAYY TOO much out of students. I dropped the class, this class gave me so many mental breakdowns.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!! She is an extremely tough grader who will give you a very low grade even though the tutoring software she uses to submit draft say the essay is good. Her instructions for many of the assignments are worded very poorly and half the time you have to pray for at least a C in the class. AVOID THIS CLASS!!!
Probably the worst professor I have experienced. Drop the class as soon as you can. Transfer out of it. Hardly explains assignments or work or expectations overall. You are left to guess everything by yourself.
25 students started in the course, only 5 students were left at the end, including myself. I followed instructions as best that I could and missed no assignments. When I had questions she would respond saying that the instructions were clear. I messaged classmates for help but they were also confused and stated she had been no help to them either.
This professor is extremely tough with their grading. The assignments are not well explained, especially the essays. It is also very hard to understand basically every assignment she posts. I recommend that you transfer or drop if you can!
I am affiliated with the board of education at Triton and they have been trying to get her to retire for decades. Since she is tenured, there is nothing anyone can do. I even spoke to the dean of the english dept. and he said to just drop the class and the school will give me my money back. Absolutely ridiculous.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Will literally drain your mental health to its breaking point. Her assignments, essays, and lectures are not clear. Deadlines are too narrow and no matter how much you study, read, or write it will never be good enough for a passing grade. Currently, I have a low C and I am barely hanging by a thread trying to maintain it...
This class is harder than organic chemistry or any of my other advanced-level STEM classes.
An awful teacher who does not want to help students grow and improve their writing. She ignores all emails because communication should be done through Blackboard, but then proceeds to ignore that. No constructive criticism. Nitpicks all minor details for assignments but cannot even be bothered to put the correct syllabus for the proper semester.
Save you time and money or drop immediately. Heavy expectations on essays but poor feedback and examples on how to improve. This class was too taxing on my mental health, and I barely managed to raise my grade from a C despite doing all work. She would also raise her voice and make you feel belittled for your work despite it being her job to teach.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES WITH HER!!!! She doesn't explain how to write the essays, she expects us to know everything. Worst professor I have. She gives me anxiety before a due date because of her grading.
Imagine a person with a superiority complex who lives with inexplicable resentment and anger toward people and therefore wants to ruin and belittle everyone she meets along the way. That is Renee Wright. A nightmare of a class. Triton, do something.
Dr. Wright has high expectations from her students and is not afraid to give harsh criticism. She provides a wide variety of resources and open hours, even if they are appointment base. Expect a lot of dense and difficult reading in the course.
posted multiple different and misleading syllabi for the same essay. tried to get feedback in hopes of improving my grade, but was nearly impossible to reach outside of lectures. treated her 102 class terribly, avoid if possible
I immediately dropped the class because she did not explain how to do anything.
Please believe all these reviews. I had her as a freshman and it was horrible. There is no reason why a freshman comp. class should be this difficult. Not only was she rude to students but expects you to know how to write like an English major. I did not learn a single thing from her class.
She is just awful! She wants you to use Brainfuse/Writing center but sometimes she doesn't like what they say, WHICH AFFECTS YOU! You turn something into the writing tutors, they tell you something, you do it, and then you get a lower because she didn't think what the tutor said was "good." THEN WHY USE THE TUTORS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
Actually awful don't ever take
DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS TEACHER!! Her instructions are unclear and will make you question your intelligence; my grade couldn't even last above a C within the first two weeks! Prepare for the most condescending, demoralizing feedback on your essays along with tedious discussion posts. Spare yourself the anxiety, avoid this course AT ALL COSTS!!
Didn't plan on leaving a review on her because I felt like it would be a waste of time, but here I am. First of all avoid at all cost. She doesn't know how to clearly explain anything. It is almost like she finds it difficult to be clear with instructions. Her assignments seem to be all over the place. Just get another teacher.
Do NOT take this class
I hated this class, Dr.Wright is awful
DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR. She will make you question your own sanity because she belittles everything you say and do. She doesn't explain any assignment. She expects you to know how to write at a level that no one in this day and age would even be able to. I'm now in therapy.
Avoid this class if possible - the professor has high expectations but provides little constructive feedback. Unstuck Study AI and other study tools may help, but this course is a major mental drain.
“Don't waste your money or time. Lectures are disorganized, explanations are unclear, and the professor is unapproachable. Grading feels random, and feedback is nonexistent. You'll leave the course feeling more confused than when you started.”
I don't understand how triton college allows her to continue to teach. This is the worse professor any student can have. If you are enrolling late and she's the only English professor left for the semester just wait for the next professor. You will waste your time just to get a F. I would say 90% or the students dropped the course or failed.
Please if you are currently deciding what professor to pick don't pick this one. There were (2) professor in the English department that were horrible her being one of them. The other was AR MCMATH- she finally left. Now wright in the only on left of the duo. You will not pass this class. She will mentally drain you. Run!!!
She went on a pass or fail grading system, and lacked awareness that every student starts somewhere in their writing skills. She posted lots of homework weekly, as if it was a fast track class, which made it very difficult to make time for other classes because of the constant assignments she posted, forgetting students have other classes.
She does not want to see her students succeed. Do not waste you time or money taking her class.
RUN! She's horrible. Almost everyone dropped the class that had her and those that stayed all failed. We heard she would pass most of the class at the end and that's why we stayed. NOT TRUE! AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. Would give negative stars if I could. Flee!
Gave her and her class the benefit of the doubt, was the worst decision of my life, costing me my grade with doing the majority of her work, trying hard, being in class when I needed to just for her to fail me, and all the other few who were left, when everyone either dropped the class and or stopped showing up and quite frankly I don't blame them.
If you are searching up Wrights RMP review because you deeply regret taking her class but are in too deep to drop the class, hear me out. USE THE SLIDES SHE GIVES YOU AND USE THE TUTORING WEBSITES. It might be time consuming but its your best bet because she is a tough grader.
If you are a student looking forward to attending an English course for your degree, I would highly recommend to not take an English course with this professor. She will stress you out on the first few weeks and make learning difficult because she simply isn't clear. All of my buddies and other classmates dropped out because she isn't the greatest.
This class has been extremely unorganized. The professor makes videos on how to do things and it's so unnecessary. I understand trying to make sure we understand the material but having to use extra sites is not it. I've had peers also express that she's rude when answering emails. Most of us have no idea what's going on.. Save yourself the stress
My first ever C, usually an A student. Her grading is extremely strict, and despite multiple students raising concerns, it seems nothing has changed. I only took this class because it was required for graduation. Be prepared for a stressful semester, as it often felt like the course was set up for students to struggle rather than succeed.
I deeply regret taking this course! absolutely awful teaching style! I recommend looking for another professor over her, for example, Maureen Musker! save yourself the troubles to whoever's reading prettyyy pleaseeee pleaseeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
This was easily the hardest class I've ever taken in my entire life, but looking back, I understand why and I'm glad I did. If you take the time to ask questions, participate in class, and push yourself, you will succeed in this class. Dr. Wright will help you understand the material if you're struggling, you just have to ask questions!
I'm currently taking this class over the 2025 summer. The semester just started two weeks ago and she already made me feel VERY uncomfortable with asking any questions, she always gives backhanded responses. It makes the online space feel very hostile and I don't appreciate it. Save yourself the time. Take the course with someone who's here to help
I'm rating this knob of a prof for my gf. I went to CMU, GRE verbal of 168, writing 4.5/5 (top 98+%), and I edited my girlfriend's essay for this class. I followed the reqs and made a handful of minor issues. My gf got an F on the essay. Prof missed an entire section “-“, and gave 0 w/o explanation on another. This profs feedback was braindead slop
I've never had a professor that says a whole lot of nothing in multiple paragraphs when you ask for help. Messaged many times to express what I already understood in directions, and she proceeded to tell me to reread it and that "I shouldn't understand it the first few times". Why teach if you're not going to be any help and act rude in feedback?
I'm taking the time out my day just to come and warn students again. PLEASE. I'm quite literally begging everyone to save themselves and refrain from taking ANY course with this professor. She's no help and gets smart at the mouth when questions are asked. Me and more than half my class had to drop this class. The remaining failed. SAVE YOURSELF!
Absolutely not.
Very scattered, contradictory in instructions, unhelpful
More than half of my class dropped it and the remaining were visibly stressed out. The class has way too much room to make a mistake and fail. I got an F on a paper which only had 1 comment on the actual essay and all of the others went into my citations. She told me in the feedback that I "lost most of the points because of improper citations."
She didn't actually teach anything. She gave us a different online program to do completely, and was a very harsh grader with no grace or remorse.
I registered for this class at the last minute, and I ended up completely regretting it within the span of 2 weeks. I ignored the negative reviews and hoped to have a better experience, but I was terribly wrong. Please avoid this class at all costs.
Taking this class was very last minute for me, and after just the first week of her class nearly half the students dropped out. Every day she gives long lectures that are very repetitive and don't answer important questions for the assignments that she gives you. She's a tough grader and I've never seen her give anything higher than a C.
I had no choice and needed to take this course for my plan. I don't think I have ever locked in the way I did for a class before, as failing wasn't an option. I had to lose out on parts of my life and miss out on work for this class, so be warned. If u have a life, drop it. If u have no choice, use the readings, slides, n kiss her ahh to make it.
