Done right! meaning
Hello friends,
What does "done right" mean in this sentence? I kind of understand but I have never encountered it.
Former professor: "That was the best course in the department, done right!"
Thanks.

It's informal and not perfectly grammatical, and it has two possible interpretations.
In either case, "done right" means "done properly" or "done well."
It could mean:
a) "That was the best course in the department and it was done right." High praise.
b) "That was the best course in the department when it was done right." Qualified praise. Depending on what semester and who was teaching it and how it was taught, sometimes it was the best course in the department.
