Reviews of professor Joshua Wright

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
AVOID THIS PROF AT ALL COSTS. He provides no materials for the entire course. Marking for assignments was unclear & unfair, average was 58%. In order to pass this course, each week I listened to his 3 hour audio lecture (which took more like 5 hours) to get accurate notes. This course made me question if I wanted to peruse social psychology.

The lecture slides and the lecture itself was very difficult to follow along to, so be prepared to go back and listen to the 3 hour long lecture to take notes that actually make sense. Treat this course as if it's an upper division course, the TAs mark harshly and due to the fact that you need to know what's important/unimportant. Avoid if you can

I dont enjoy his style. He seems like a very intelligent guy but Im not sure that he enjoys teaching. Seems to have a know it all attitude about some things. If you take this course make sure you have something to type on because there barely any slides, most of what u learn will be based on what he says.

Prof Wright isn't the worst prof you could get by any means. His lectures were quite interesting, tho they were very heavy and he talks fast, so you have to be a good note-taker. He does carry a bit of a haughty air and was unnecessarily rude to me after I inquired about what I *still* think was an unfair grade. Was not easy for an 'intro' class.

Joshua Wright is a great professor. He is passionate about what he teaches. He isn't the traditional type, but if you show up, listen, and take notes you'll do well. He isn't going to spoon feed the information, but if you engage with the material on a critical level you'll do well. Not too much work required, and text book isn't mandatory.

I took this class in Fall 2019 and he was horrible. I went to office hours to get extra help since our TA had a family emergency. He laughed at me as I asked questions and told me to figure it out. Not sure what I could use to "figure it out" when there's no slides/textbook, only his three hour long lectures where he says ambiguous a million times.

Good lectures and I enjoyed not having to buy an expensive textbook. Not having one does save money but also means attending every class is important. The cancelling of the final exam made it difficult to make up for my midterm grade but Dr. Wright did add a free letter grade to make up for the bumpy online transition.

I would never take this professor again. He acts like everyone knows what he's talking about and he is really hesitant to provide help. I reached out to him to see how he could provide extra help and he told me to order a book called "How to learn better" on Amazon. DO NOT TAKE
