Professor Wright gave perhaps the bests course I have taken "An Introduction to Classical Music." In this course He again demonstrates that he is an expert teacher. He present logically and well.And he keeps our interest by interspersing slides, anecdotes and interviews. And he has done a lot of research on the subject.so it was fun and I learned stuff.

But I did have trouble with it. First I did not agree with the definition of genius -- I think it does not have to be a mental. Perhaps he has a very broad idea of "mental", but I have seen many innovative adjustments in various sports, for example, that seem similar to me to some of the examples he uses. From that start he is pretty consistent. so if you accept that, you can enjoy the course (which I did).

I have a scientific background, so I do not know how he selected his geniuses -- who and how many he may have left out -- who may have altered some of his conclusions (He did present this with regard to mental disorders.)

I thought the course drifted from the nature of genius to the habits (not hidden -- they were well known -- maybe they were "fun facts") of some of them to brief biographies in Week 3.

He wrapped this up well in the last section of Week 4, with a typical American focus on money. (that was also an American diversion -- geniuses and wealth -- which really had nothing to do with the "nature of genius, but were fun facts about some of them.

I hope this is seen as "constructive -- I did enjoy the course and I did learn somethings about myself from it as well.

This course was very interesting and provided some interesting perspectives on genius. The only thing that I would add is more discussion about the faults/negative behaviors of people who are considered genius as they are presented rather than as a footnote discussed in the last week. For example, Kanye West is referred to as a genius multiple times, with no acknowledgement of his severely antisemitic remarks.

Good course. Very thought provoking.

However, whilst appreciating that the course is still rather new, it's really pretty annoying that the answers of the quizzes are quite frequently wrongly programmed. So much so, that it turns from fun to frustration. Come on, that should be easily fixed.

It has a clear cut structure that evidently sets the student up to tilt toward parallel thinking while applying the various quotients that come with our world.

Very engaging. Some of the guest speakers were a bit long and boring the course does encourage personal thinking. I would definitely recommend it.

I enjoyed this course very much and appreciate the challenges it made to my assumptions

Very interesting topic with well prepared content.

Well done as always. Thank you

Interesting Course.

Surprisingly narrow-minded in the approach to who is a genius, and whether it's even desirable to apply a formulaic approach to who qualifies. The danger of this is manifested in the course's over saturation with white, North, Westernized, over-50 male perspectives. This is probably due to the demographic of the likeable professor. A good guy, effective speaker, but seemingly reluctant to acknowledge that his approach to the course was a product of his environment.

boring but promising maybe
