Reviews of professor Joshua Wright

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He DOES NOT have lecture slides. He gets up there and talks for two hours straight and you better be taking notes. But otherwise, cool prof, cool course, and it teacher you a lot about how to read and interpret research articles.

Dr. Wright was really kind and understanding when I contacted him about my illness. I found the course entertaining informative, though the course was negatively impacted by the sudden move to the online format. I went to see Dr. Wright a few times in office hours and he was incredibly helpful and encouraging of my future career.

took this class spring 2020 during covid-19. prof. wright was super understanding about the situation and very helpful. lectures had slides that were posted but most only had pics, you spend the whole lecturing writing notes and there isn't a textbook. Not my favorite since I'm bad at taking good notes quickly, but the prof himself was nice

He talks way too fast in class, and had no notes up. If you missed what he said, hopefully your friend next to you heard. I did better in my final when I simply didnt go to class and listened to the lectures online, that way I can go back and write down what he said.

Was generous with grades and understanding about the mid semester switch to online format.

A lot of ppl hated his tough grading bc he taught an intro course like an upper-div class. I personally enjoyed the class because it challenged me/made me into a better reader/writer. Went to office hours and he gave me gr8 advice so I felt more prepared to take psyc 300w. Hes rly nice in office hours! Exam (MC/SA) is easy if u study & do readings

Prof was understanding with late penalties and deadlines when COVID-19 hit. Good lecturer, interesting material. Assignments were straightforward, short, & easy. Would definitely recommended taking him for social psychology.

His lectures are absolutely amazing--he hardly skips a beat going through the material. He gives a lot of examples of concepts and theories. He gives "collective extra credit" during the lecture on prosocial behavior, which is nice because the course is challenging for a second year class.

Worst prof I have had at SFU in 4 years. Absolutely no structure to the course. No textbook and garbage powerpoint slides so it is very unclear what you should be focused on learning. Overly hard grader and will try to screw you over if he marks your paper. Under no circumstance would I recommend you taking this course with him. Terrible
