This teacher is so AWESOME! He interesting and makes you learn in a fun way! He always starts out by asking a random question at the start of class to get everyone siked up and ready. He ALWAYS has something funny to say. He is an fair grader all you have to do is listen to instructions. simple as that. the essays topics are fun and interesting.
He's a great teacher, very helpful, easy to understand. I really enjoy his class, I would take him again for sure.
very understandable teacher. easy class, easy person. you will really enjoy his class ill take him again just for the fun of it.
good teacher, funny, informative, descriptive, great atmosphere in the class, & assignments are challenging
so much to say so little space. AMAZING teacher, great class. learned so much. not hard. i got an A. i RECOMMEND.
he is absolutly hilarious. take him over any professor.
he is by far the coolest professor ive ever had. prepares you for EVERY paper. take him take him take him.
GREAT teacher, does a lot for his students. Entertaining, funny, intelligent, he is a great professor. Makes everything clear, and helps for every single essay!
Mr Wright is so badass. hes so chill about pretty much everything except attendance. I missed a lot of classes so my grade was lowered, but don't let that turn you away. he has some of the most interesting topics for essays. we hardly read the book. the class was so awesome, he actually teaches you how to write, and how to close read. HIGHLY SUGGES
Walks in and he's already the coolest dude in the class. Makes he boring WRC course bearable. I'd suggest him to anyone, he is a badass.
He is my favorite teacher since I started college.Cool, funny, smart and different from all other college teachers. Very chill classes, interesting topics, easy grading. When you don't know how to write or what to write about, go talk to him, he can inspire you. I an "A" in that class.And my first language is not even English.
He's hilarious, insightful, and helpful so feel free to ask questions. His assignments are easy, and he's an extremely good professor. He's just a cool guy who can relate to his students. You should definitely take him if you can. Plus, for the ladies, he's really hot! Need I say more?
Take him! nough said :)
Great professor, real laid back and funny but also offers some interesting essays and does fun class activities so that its not just a waste of time. If your looking for a challenge i would say find someone else but for all others his class is a must. Easy transition from high school
Great professor!!! He's funny, allows for easy extra credit on essays, and for sure an easy A if not B.
Funny, laid-back professor that makes a subject so boring like writing interesting. The easiest A I have made in a writing class my whole life(I've made 100's on my papers and not the only one in the class). He grades mostly on content and not grammar. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE NO MATTER WHAT TIME THE CLASSES ARE
Great guy, and funny. You are extremely lucky to get his class if you get him. Made writing so much fun for me, I'm so sad I won't have him next semester. :( attendance is graded, but his classes are so fun I would still go if they were not.
He is a fantastic teacher!! He's super laid-back and nice. I found his class difficult due to the amount of writing but felt he graded fairly and wanted his students to succeed. My two complaints are 1) it takes a while to get graded papers back and 2) he wrote few comments on my papers so I had trouble knowing what I was doing right or wrong.
He was really funny and relates to students very well.
He was a very nice guy, hilarious and totally entertaining. He knows his material, and is very flexible with his due dates. Make sure you talk to him if anything comes up!
He was very helpful!
very challenging course but he is very inspiring. Take him any chance you get.
Interested and knowledgeable in what he does. BAD GRADER. I had A+ in WRC 1013 (diff prof) but my current grade in his class (WRC 1023) is B. Not satisfied.
Professor Wright is the one of the Best Genuine Professors I have ever taken at UTSA. Very funny, down to earth and intelligent professor. He is understanding and can relate to students. I recommend him to anyone! Take HIM!
Prof. Wright is a cool professor. He's not as great as everyone made him seem. His grading was fairly harsh, and you must NOT miss more than 4 classes or your grade will be dropped a whole letter grade!
Very interested in his student's work. Really does want to help you out and has a lot of passion for the subject. His grading is challenging. I got an A on my last two papers and that's only because I sold my soul to write them. He doesn't just give an A for fun.
I'm an international student and had taken the comp II with him. He is one of the best teachers at utsa
Wright is a great professor! He's hilarious and makes the class fun. If you're not sure what to write about, he's really helpful in helping you to come up with a topic. He's a little tough grading but still very fair, and it's not impossible to get an A at all. You absolutely should take his class.
Wright is amazing! He's super chill, but still gets stuff done. He's very clear and concise about what he wants on his papers, and his lectures are highly amusing. I recommend his class to EVERYONE.
Let me say that Professor Wright is the best teacher I've had in my life. He is interesting, engaging, helpful, funny, all of the above. Not to mention his class isn't particularly difficult. I walked out with an A+ that I worked for but genuinely enjoyed getting. Did I mention his personality is very attractive and he's handsome? Motivation!
Had him Spring '14. Funny guy. Gets the class going with some random topic. Listens to ideas. Encourages students. Chill overall. Take this class.
So all throughout high school i hated writingenglish classes and i would never make above an B in them or be able to stay awake in them, professor wright's classes are really interesting and fun , writing wasn't too easy , you had to show effort and do work , but an A is veerrrry possible
Just take this class. You'll only write a few papers, not into quizzes or anything outside of pure writing. I'm considering this as a major, so it wasn't overly difficult, but I think it was a pretty low stress class in general. Fantastic teacher. He'll get you excited about the class, just put in the effort.
Mr. Wright rocks. He let us out 30 minutes early almost every class. He really wants to get to know his students and he starts off class with attendance by asking unique questions to get to know everyones personality. Class participation is necessary, but he doesn't force it. I'm shy and in his class I felt outgoing. Final is a group presentation.
Profe Wright is the Man!!!!! Got a B+ in his class but that was because I deserved a B+. He gives you what you deserve and it resembles your effort. He is such a great teacher makes it fun to learn and write. Very respectable person. Teaching style is great! Class is fair and he's a fair grader. Would take him again!! Wright's the Man!!!!!
Todd Wright might just be the best teacher I've ever had. His lectures are interesting and interactive and I loved going to class. He is by no means an easy grader; he'll give you what you deserve. If want an A you're going to have to work for it. Participating in class and going to office hours helps. By the end of the semester we were friends.
Even though I'm not an English major, taking his class made me feel like I should be. I learned so much! Professor Wright's lectures are really interesting and he knows how to get his students engaged in the topics. I would definitely take his class again if I had the option!!
Professor Wright is the best English teacher I have had in a while. His passion for writing is evident in most all of his lectures. He really takes the time to get to knows students on a personal level, and is always very helpful. His lectures are fun and his assignments allow his students freedom to express their personal opinions.
He is the best prof. I ever had! He is funny and very nice! Wants to get to know all his student. Very fair grader. Loved writing prompts. Very easy class but I learned a lot.
Great guy, funny, fun, interesting, incredible teacher. In his class you will find a love for writing you never thought you had. Some days you'll just discuss things. So much fun. I learned so much and it was my favorite class and I hated english in high school. Keeps the writing interesting and lets you add your input on what you do.
Prof. Wright was my FAVORITE PROFESSOR EVER. He made class so fun to go to! If I could I would take this class for all 4 years of college. He is definitely one of those professors you wish taught all of your classes. TAKE THIS MAN!!! You will NOT regret it. He starts off every class period with a question to take attendance
Wright is an amazing professor who genuinely cares for his students. Classes were fun, interesting, and relaxed. He definitely gives you what you earn on essays. One of my favorite professors and classes this semester. I highly recommend him! Would take his class again if I could. Low-stress class!
Easily my favorite professor and class this fall semester. The course itself is challenging, in that you have write a total of 5 papers & a group pres., and that's all the grade you get for that class. Professor Wright is a pretty tough grader and takes attendance each class time. If I have to describe Professor Wright in one word he's a hipster.
He's the best professor.
Got him on accident b/c my AIS teacher was paired with his class and it was the best thing to happen to me. No reading assignments or anything like that- just papers and one group project. His stories were so interesting and he was such a nice, genuine professor. I looked forward to his class everyday. His classes fill up fast though so be quick!!
Professor Wright is awesome! He is so nice and his class is easy! Of course writing essays sucks, but he helps the process go smoother. I def recommend taking him!! 5 essays and 1 group assignment total. Going to class helps with participation points plus he never gave me a reason to dread going. He's so cool.
Put work into your essays, and it's an easy A. Super fun, laid back guy. The textbook isn't necessary.
Best writing professor ever
This professor is by far my most favorite professor I have ever had. He is so funny and I think just all around amazing at his job.
Syllabus very specific, 4 papers , portfolio due as final , simple and straight to the point, and extremely hilarious!
took his class this semester, and i would take this professor again!!! very respectful and knows his stuff. also, pretty chill, as long as you do your papers, easy A!
I can not express enough how he sets the bar for writing. His class is well planned and is set up like it's rehearsed. You don't have to attend class, but this is honestly a class you don't want skip. He introduces writing in a way that is easy to comprehend and therefore makes writing easy to do. If you struggle with writing, he will help you!!
My favorite and best class I've taken so far. Professor Wright actually made me enjoy writing. His classes are enjoyable to go to and he actually teaches. He is a pretty easy grader and gives good feedback. He is clear about his instructions and also cares about his students. His attendance questions are also lots of fun and hilarious.
TAKE HIM. Professor Wright is well-respected and hilarious! By far my favorite course this semester. His lectures make you want to participate in class and the prompts are interesting. If you show effort in your papers, you will get an A.
THE BEST PROF EVER. I am not taking him for WRC 1023 and I regret it! I should have waited until next semester. He is soo funny, lenient, and is always available. If you can take his class, DO IT! you will not regret it!
Great teacher funny and you actually look forward to his classes
THE BEST!!!!! I actually enjoyed going to his class and that says something because I am NOT a writer. He is so funny and so genuinely kind. the essay topics are not difficult and pretty easy to write. he grades fairly. waiting a whole year until he is available to take his comp two class. love him!
GREAT professor, take him and you wont regret it. easy grader. and you actually learn from each assignment, btw there's less than 10 assignments the whole semester. i would definitely take this class again
Great prof. You have to work for your grade so just put in the effort. Best class I've taken, always fun going.
Absolutely love this professor! He is a extremely interactive with all of his students and knows each of us by name. He knows when to joke around and when to get to work. This class has a perfectly balanced environment and feels homey. The subject matter is interesting whether you like writing or not and you will not regret taking this class.
Honestly, I don't think there is many teachers as great as Mr. Wright. This man is funny and great, so if you ever get the chance to be in his class you'll understand. He is such a great professor, but you have to work for a good grade. Even attendance is an awesome part of his class as he is very interactive and likes to know his students.
He is honestly the best teacher I have ever had. He is very simple when it comes to the 4-5 papers we have to do all semester. He checks attendance by asking a random question/ice breaker. Overall the greatest professor I know and if you don't take his class, you are missing out.
Professor Wright is the best professor for this course. Honestly, if you have the chance to take his class and choose not too, I don't know what to tell you other than what you'll be missing out on. There was not a single day where I chose to skip his lectures because there are a lot of interesting topics he covers and there is never a dull moment.
Really good professor, for sure the best one I have ever had. His lectures are really funny and knows how to keep you engaged and learning. Sometimes hard to get into his class because of high demand but if you do have the chance you wont regret it.
BEST PROF @ UTSA! He is super funny and very inspirational! YOU WILL NOT REGRET YOUR DECISION! he never micromanages your writing. He lets you be in control with his guidance and is very available. HE IS AWESOME!
Professor Wright is AMAZING!! Truly does make each class something to look forward to and really cares about his students! He's super approachable and is willing to help you with anything. He goes beyond the typical "work work work" stuff and prefers quality over quantity. I would highly recommend taking his class!
He's probably the best writing comp professor that there is in this university. He is always hard working and always puts time for his students, and his lectures are worth waking up for lol so take him and you'll understand the greatness that he brings everyday to class.
Professor Wright's class was my favorite last semester. He's hilarious, takes time to get to know his students, genuinely helps students improve their writing, and offers great feedback. I looked forward to going to every class. The essays are also spread out nicely throughout the semester so you don't feel overwhelmed when finals come around.
Wright is honestly one of my favorite professors/teachers I've ever taken. He makes class worth attending and he's a pretty good lecturer as well. Give you good feedback on group projects and papers. Absolutely take him if you can!
Todd was a fantastic Professor. He was so good in fact, as my first one in my college career, he set the bar high, in a way a professor since has yet to reach. Todd not only is invested in your success, he encourages you to be yourself and doesnt restrict class discussion. His lectures always made me WANT to come to class, which I think is special
Very funny
BEST professor at UTSA. Took him for WRC 1013 and now WRC 1023. Hilarious, and genuinely cares about his students. The assignments itself can be a little difficult, but he gives you plenty of time to complete them. Very easy to talk to guy, will never embarrass you in class, and is dedicated to helping you write the best papers you possibly can.
As a writer I have never received good feedback, I always get good scores but nobody ever suggested I go the next level. When I wrote an essay he said it was good but gave me pointers on what to do to make it even better, nobody has been able to do that. Besides that hes a hilarious and a caring guy, probably the best Writing Professor out there!
Professor Wright was one of my favorite professors this semester. He's super funny and easy to talk to. He doesn't grade unnecessarily hard and gives good feedback. You're supposed to buy 3 books but, you really only need the little roadrunner. You can miss up to 4 classes with no penalty. This was a really enjoyable class, take him if you can.
Wright is a great professor - his lectures aren't long, just go in for the credit and because there's group projects, and also he's really entertaining and funny. Ask for feedback on an essay, he'll really help you out. Don't take him if you're looking for a lot of guidance. If writing comes well to you, take his class!
Top tier professor! I am still sad our semester got cut short due to covid.
Professor Wright is an amazing writing professor! Going to his class is fun and the writing assignments are not hard. He gives great feedback and isn't a hard grader! Overall cool guy!
Prof. Wright was a cool professor. I liked how laid back and how he connects with us especially during the attendance questions. I wish that the pandemic never happened so that we could enjoy class with him in-person. Also, the content isn't hard, so it's really the matter of doing work.
Just a great guy wish I could take him again
Professor Wright is very understanding and lenient. He is my favorite professor I have ever had. He is a funny guy and I just really enjoyed him. He grades super nice.. I would have gotten a way better grade if I had actually put in the right amount of effort. I would definitely take him again and I think you will really enjoy his class.
Really great guy, has interesting lectures. 5 papers, participation grade, and a presentation. I'm a little petty since he gave me an A- while all my other professors don't grade on that scale. Ugh I hate what I become :')
Hes a great guy and his class is overall not bad at all. You get like 4 papers and an end of the semester project which is your final. Just put effort into your papers and do the attendance questions and you should be okay. Im not an amazing writer and was able to end with an A so its not too bad. Just start early and youll be ok.
He doesn't give clear feedback at all and doesn't get grades before the next was due. He didn't answer an email about the textbook because my "question was weird." He also assigned a group project for the final even though he made our synchronous class asynchronous after paying fees and registering so none of us have met. Not good for online.
Mr. Wright is overall a good professor. He makes his lectures not too long, and somewhat enjoyable. He gives you four papers, with the last one being a reflective essay. My biggest gripe is that he grades slowly and we had to write a reflective paper with only 66% of the material. All in all, just do the papers and you won't have a problem.
Professor Wright is great. He keeps his lectures short with no mandatory zoom sessions. He is a slow grader but I understand why.(Reading 150 5 page papers isn't fun) I do wish he explained his expectations in the first lecture instead of spreading it out. Sometimes we didn't get all the info we needed to successfully write until the end.
Prof Wright really cares about his students! The papers are not tough and he is clear with instructions. The prompts are fun and interesting so he knows how to engage the class. He is a little iffy on answering emails and will sometimes address your question in the lecture. Summer class had 3 papers, a revision, and a group project. Buy your books
i took his online class which was not bad at all because he didn't have zoom classes, he would post videos and you can watch it at your own convenience. his grading is lenient and he gives okay feedback. the essays aren't too bad, there are 5 but be prepared to write at least 5 pages for each essay.
Hes a literal king. Super nice and reasonable and really cares about students personally. Grades are really based on your effort but he is very understanding.
Professor Wright was super fun and laid back. We had weekly attendance questions, 4 papers and a group project for the semester. He will answer emails but takes time to get back to you so you might have to ask multiple times. He never really gave much constructive criticism for my papers which made improving my work difficult.
Your grade consists of 4 papers and a group assignment. He's super slow on grading so you won't really know any of your grades until later on in the semester. He is a super chill grader tho, so there's that.
I had switched to Prof /wright a week after class started based on his reviews on here. He's a pretty normal, non-political guy. He tends to grade extremely late. But he also grades pretty leniently, with good feedback. He's a pretty inclusive guy who likes to get everyone involved in a discussion, without pushing an agenda himself.
Great teacher, I had the choice between him and Ms.Long, happy with the choice I made. He takes a long time to grade essays, you will probably be writing essay 3 before you get a grade on essay 1 but he is very nice and gives good feedback. He is also pretty funny on zoom so worth attending for sure. The only grades are essays, attendance, 1 group.
I loved professor wright. he's super funny and makes his lectures interesting and engaging. he also sends a video lecture on Thursday which provides helpful information. There are only 3 papers and he is a lenient grader which I appreciate and there is 1 group project which he also grades leniently. he made English fun would definitely take again.
Grading seems arbitrary, on top of taking forever. Still one of the better wrc teachers but I wouldn't be surprised to find that other teachers have higher overall grades.
75% of your grade is the essays, and he grades kinda hard. Your essays need to follow the rubric perfectly, perfect grammar, format, thesis, and just be written overall very well(lots of research and commentary) just to get an A. DO NOT just turn in the essays without trying your best.
contrary to what others are saying, i dont think he's a tough grader at all. im not the strongest writer, and the lowest grade he gave me was a 90. he is understanding with late work and with missing class. super cool guy. he takes awhile to grade things, but this will be in ur favor as he pushes back deadlines if hes late with something.
This is the best writing class I have ever taken!!! I have never been fond of English classes and never really succeeded with writing papers. This class has a lot of interaction with daily discussions that are very interesting. The professor if very easy to work with and the essays are not too bad we only had to write 3 if I recall.
The only grades were papers which were graded not too harshly. The classes were very enjoyable and he is a awesome professor.
His class is so laid back I almost started to enjoy writing. There are no other assignments besides a mandatory 3 essays which are graded super leniently. He also loves to talk and has the most interesting stories you'll ever hear every single class period. if you have half a brain and want a guaranteed A then please take his class he is amazing.
Professor Wright was a very funny and amazing storyteller. Although his assignments were manageable the rubric was vague and he was NOT accessible outside of class. The class was short and interactive, there was a group project, and 4 papers. Overall, would recommend but wish he would give more feedback and give the expectations on time.
Professor Wright's class is a breeze - just three lenient essays and engaging discussions. His grading can be slow, but he's understanding and gives great feedback. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for essay prep. Highly recommend taking his class!
Probably the best professor Ive had. Made writing fun for me even though its normally my worst subject.
Best professor at UTSA, 100% recommend.
Don't get me wrong, he's a very good professor, and he's very understanding of his students. But he is NOT accessible outside of class and takes a LONG time to grade your papers, so you'll only know your actual grade at the end. Besides that, he's just a guy who enjoys engaging during lecture, nothing heavy. I would take him again.
