Reviews of professor Jessica Wright

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Jessica is a true gem! She wants you to learn/think for yourself. There are biweekly assignments (doable readings, quiz, 2 Microprose, longer paper). It may seem like a lot, but she is a lenient grader and does it so you can learn. She cares for her students and is always willing to give extensions if need be. Texts are interesting too!

She has an obsession with the idea of creating a learning community, and that everyone in the class should be best friends, that really feels forced and results in the opposite effect of students feeling awkward. She also seems to think that her class is the most important so gives you multiple mandatory readings that are impossibly thick.

A super nice prof, caring and knowledgeable. Best prof I have had in UofT so far. There are some pop questions on the lecture so I guess it is mandatory. Reading heavy, just like other philosophy course.

When I first took this class, I wasn't expecting to be too interesting in classical myth and I also felt that it didn't really have a place in modern times except for the use of story telling. Oh how wrong I was! Dr. Wright is one of the best professors I've ever had and she gives you a whole other way to fit myth into contemporary experience. :)

Professor Wright is amazing! Really enjoyed her class. Makes the class fun and easy. She is eager to teach and you can see it on her face. She expects participation and asks for a lot of reading but it is manageable reading and will work with you (i.e. late assignments, missing class, ect.) Would highly recommend her for Classical Mythology!
