Reviews of professor Michelle Wright

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Wright was very fair in grading all assignments. She gives excellent feedback and always answered my questions in a timely manner. I was a bit nervous about taking this class but Professor Wright made it fun and the most important thing is that I learned so much about conducting research.

TAKE HER CLASS! She genuinely cares that you pass. Even if you get a bad score on her exams, you can still pass the course with an A. She gives so much extra credit opportunities, more than you deserve. She's very laid back and has 5 video days where there's no class and you do the work at home. She made learning Hawaiian studies very enjoyable.

Fun class but soooo much work to do in it. She is a very easy grader though. There is a word count for discussions. The final project is a choice between a paper or a visual so its super easy. You just choose two ahupuaa to write about. Just beware of ALOT of writing to the point that this course could be a WI (but its not).

Although she gives a lot of work and readings, the homework is quite easy. She's a very lenient grader so her class is very easy to pass. Her lectures are very interesting and choose a lot of interesting videos and articles to read. She genuinely made me interested in the topic. She also gives really easy extra credit. Would take this class again.

I took her HWST 207 and did not expect THAT much writing and it wasn't a WI. I had less writing for some WI than I did for this course. Lots of reading as well! One 2-page essay per week, a final essay at the end, quizzes, tests, and Forum response with 250 words PER QUESTION! Take it if you love writing.

Course material was great and informative. Professor did take awhile to grade so after mid-terms and finals your grade looks wonky until the score is entered. Would take again just wish the grading was more prompt and feedback was more detailed.

LOTS OF WRITING. I took her Ahupuaa course. Has weekly discussions posts, reflection papers, and a large final project. The final was on 2 Ahupua'a in Hawaii and we had the choice to write a 10 page essay or a create a presentation using padlet. Very easy grader as long as you make word count and answer all questions. Easy A. But too much work.

By far the easiest class Ive ever taken at UH. I would complete assignments and then forget about the class & she gives you 2-3 weeks per unit. Got 111%. TONS of extra credit. You just have to post 1-2min flipgrid videos. I loved the movies and documentaries. Theres writing (long blogs/summaries for the videos) but easy. No final for async class
