Reviews of professor Melissa Wright

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Wright truly cares about her students and is willing to help them every step of the way. She is responsive to student feedback and does anything she can to help us succeed. I would say her class is even in difficulty to other intermediate micro professors, that said, it is not an easy A, but definitely not too hard.

Prof. Wright is such a sweet heart! She's SOOO PATIENT. She posts all PPTs on Blackboard, and math in this class isn't hard at all. Group projects are grade boosters, and it's helpful to compare problem sets answers with your friends before submitting. The only CON is the time she takes to grade things, so you might be not sure where you stand

Professor Wright really cares her students and is accessible outside of class. Teaching is rarely straightforward and exams questions resemble those in our assignments, so as long as you understand those mechanisms, tests shouldnt be hard. However, grading of group projects and tests is a bit slow and classes could be more passionate I think?

Wright's lectures are clear and straightforward, but maybe too reliant on the powerpoint. She knows what she's teaching, but sometimes its hard to ask questions during class. She is very responsive to emails and office hours though. Very friendly and easy to talk to.

I had Professor wright for 303, then 308, then 322. She started out great and has gotten worse each time. After my experience with her in 322, I will definitely never take from her again. She is the second worst professor I have had at W&M. She used to be great so that is saying a lot.

Professor Wright is a great professor. She makes it clear from the first day that all she wants is you to succeed. She is willing to slow down, start over, re-explain, etc. and does not get impatient. This class was not easy, but if you use her as a resource and pay attention to her lectures/take notes, you'll do great. Highly recommend.

Very straightforward, half the class is ridiculously easy, just don't get complacent because it slowly builds to advanced stuff. REALLY caring prof and always trying to improve class but isn't a great lecturer. Pretty boring at times. But a pretty safe choice for any class.

Professor Wright has changed the grading for this class since previous reviews, and it is now very difficult to get As on hw, which is 20% of the grade. Any mistakes on the hw, which is always the first time doing any of the problems, and you will automatically get a B- on the assignment. Class is not terribly difficult but there is little practice
