Every day he always has a new demonstration or story to tell. I created a video collage of all the amazing things he did during the semester and posted it on Twitter and it ended up getting 27 million views! We were invited to come to the Kelly Clarkson Show in L.A. Taking his class was one of the best decisions, and we're still very close.

Comment:

Dr. Wright is by far the best professor I have had at TCC. He is so kind and down to earth, and makes this class seem manageable. I was so nervous and intimidated by physics, but he makes it fun. He doesn't just sit at the front of the class and show powerpoints, he is very interactive and makes sure you understand the topic before moving on.

I truly enjoyed Dr. Wright's classes. I took him for both Astronomy I and II and was never bored! He really loves what he does and his knowledge in this field is evident in his lectures. His tests are very easy if you do the homework and study the questions he provides beforehand. Overall great courses. Take his class and you won't be disappointed!

Comment:

Professor Wright is the most intelligent, funny, down-to-earth professors. His ability to TEACH Science is what really sets him apart from other professor. This man can teach people who are slower to learning with lots of examples and visuals. I only got a B in his class because I had issues outside of class that affected my grades. Take him

LOVED his lectures and demonstrations! It was so challenging for me to learn this material. However, he really made the material interesting. He is passionate about Physics because he has "faith in Physics". Take his class you will have to put in work because "that is the nature of things" but it will be worth it. Oh yeah do the extra credit!

I was nervous to take phy but Dr. Wright is beyond amazing. I'm serious. YOU MUST TAKE HIM. study the anwsers from the online homework, study the anwsers from back of the book, and study his clicker questions and YOU WILL GET AN A. I have 98s on all my test! It's such an easy A if you just apply yourself. 4 test, lowest drop. 3 homeworks drop too!

He is Amazing. He knows his stuff and relays the information in a way that can be easily understood. He loves what he does and it shows. He makes the lecture time go by quickly, as he is always using real life examples to demonstrate the ideas. It is a lot of material but he does his best to make sure everyone gets the information.

Excellent quality professor, very enthusiastic and very intelligent. Dr. Wright is always full of energy, even when you don't at 9:30 am. You can tell, he loves what he does, and his class is very fun. A lot of opportunities to get extra credit. He gives you a long list of extra credits that you can do throughout the semester. Great experience

Dr. Wright is a really funny and knowledgeable professor in Astronomy. Astronomy II isn't a class to just show up and pass but if you put some effort and are good at tests a B should be easy. Different ways to earn points towards your grade like going to museums, etc. 6 page research paper and 6-12 minute presentation about your paper.

Tons of fun! Make sure you get an aisle seat so you can witness up close and personal all of his stunts! His test can be worded a little tricky, though, so read carefully. If you are going to take physics, he's the guy you want!
