Dr. Wright was a pleasure to have class with. He's super funny, and tries to make his lectures interesting. Although I did find his class very interesting, his slides are for HIM and not the STUDENTS; go to class and listen to the lectures or the slides won't mean anything to you. Highly suggested.

Boring, unclear lectures. I left class more confused than I come. Every class he would complain about having to be at class and would make fun of anyone who asked questions. Do not recommend this prof at all!!!!

Explained concepts very clearly, and repeated things that he knew would be more challenging for us to understand. Used objects to explain events in terms that were easier to imagine and remember. Was very enthusiastic. I would definitely take another class that I knew he was teaching.

What an amazing professor!! He was so prepared for class, had visual aids, tried to include the students within the lecture, communicated very clearly. I was happy that the course ended with Dr. Wright. A truly great professor.Way to go Dr. Wright! You're a great professor, you should be very happy that students think so.

Really great, engaging teacher. I like how he sometimes incorporated humour into the lectures, it helps to make the subject matter even more interesting and understandable, and also helps to keep my attention. He was enthusiastic about the material in the lecture and incorporated the real-world issues and applications every lecture.

Comment:

While the material covered in Dr. Wright's lectures was demanding, his lectures were always well organized and insightful. He added historical content to the material placing advances in molecular biology sometimes in to a societal context. He is a very approachable lectuer, always ready to answer. Exam hard!
