Reviews of professor Laura Wright

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Wright is a very knowledgeable, caring, engaged, and attentive professor. She is responsive and available during office hours, and will go out of her way to help students. Communication is key, speak up and get tutoring. The tests are challenging but she dedicates entire days to review and gives extra credit opportunities.

Don't expect to have a helpful professor. She's essentially non-existent. 5 lecture videos a week with homework that didn't ever match up. Useful formulas and constants she wouldn't give you, proctored tests over material she didn't cover, wants you to read the book if you need help. Labs are easy and quizzes okay. Would not recommend for anything.

Be prepared to teach yourself. Knows nothing about her content and will "get back to you" after she studies up on it. Does not respond to slack or email. Will deduct points for smallest things. Constantly in a bad mood and will take it out on students by yelling, rolling her eyes or rude behavior. Sucks there are no other options for at times.

The class I took with her was a very hard class for anyone to learn or teach. She does a good job at explaining the material and how to use the appropriate equations. Show up, do the work, and ask for help; you'll do well.

The tests are difficult & you don't have enough time to finish them! Tests have 30-35 multiple choice questions and 4-5 written questions that have additional a) & b) questions. You have to work fast in order to finish on time! There are 3 tests and the final - - 1 test grade is dropped. Labs are easy and homework is done on Mastering Physics.

Laura is amazing she is so good at explaining and actually teaching you the content you need. Shes super caring and understanding and is so passionate about it that it makes u actually care. I'm terrible at math and stats but with her I realized it was the prof. I went from 50s in that stuff to a 97 overll with her. Highly highly recommended

Prof. Wright curved my grades, so they are not as low as they would have been. She doesn't really respond to emails, but she does mass email to all the students addressing concerns as a group.  Her lecture material does not really match the homework, but the homework matches the tests. Practice the practice tests and study your textbook!

Like someone else said, she creates a hostile learning environment. It was online so communication is super important but it felt like I wasnt allowed to contact her. I tried, didnt go well. Tests are hard (& require crazy proctoring requirements) & the practice tests arent worth using as a study tool. Not a flexible or understanding Professor.

Laura Wright was an absolute dear. She always made herself available to her students and would do anything to help them succeed. However, you need to show up for lectures constantly otherwise it's easy to fall behind.
