Professor Wong was a pretty average Psych 10 professor. His material was straightforward, you just have to put in the time and effort to memorize it. It's a lot of materials and the lectures were long.
The class itself was a fairly easy class, but the tests were relatively hard. It was 50 multiple choice questions for each test. Just study and keep up on the readings and you should do perfectly fine!
The professor is great, but he has a little Singapore accent, which does not matter a lot. He will present class materials with a well-designed slides every lecture, and he will post the slides online a day in advance, so you can print it out and take notes on it, during classes. It is a good class in general, there are three parts of the grade, research participation/ summary writing, a midterm and a final. Midterms and finals are all composed of 50 multiple choices, and making up of 45% of the total grades, so you had better prepare for the midterm carefully.
Wong goes very very very fast. Just be prepared to sit there for two hours and listen to him go on and on about psych, because this class is straight up memorization. You're only graded on your midterm and final, which are both multiple choice and there is no curve. Please try to study/take good notes because it does add up. We cover at least 90 slides per day so be prepared.
tl;dr: It felt like high school all over again.
PSA: Moore 100 is freezing, so remember to wear layers.
he is a hottie as mentioned before, as long as you keep up, know what is going on, review the slides, you'll be fine. Make sure to ask questions if you don't understand something. He is entertaining. I slacked off, didn't put any effort and I got a D+ woops
He is a hottie and a great lecturer. He goes off his powerpoint slides but you get all 10 weeks ahead of time so you can download and print them. Everything is memorization based but he is responsive of the class and really wants you to understand the concepts before moving on.
Not a hottie, tbh. He is engaging enough, I always had trouble staying focused after 50 minutes because the class was 1:15, but most people don't seem to have that problem, especially if you're into the material. It is definitely more biology than it is psychology at all, so keep that in mind.
The class is composed of midterm and final (multiple choice both). He has weekly quizzes that have unlimited attempts so it's an easy way to make up 10% of the class. He does give out extra credit throughout the quarter but it's at random so you should go to every lecture. He posts the slides online but they do won't have videos or graphics so it might be hard to understand.
He cares for student learning but since there is no discussion at all it is very impersonal and hard to keep up.
No need to buy the textbook just memorize his slides. Our TA, Lauren Harris, made study guides for us so that's what we studied.
Disclaimer: I didn't find myself very interested by the material, so read this review knowing that.
Wong's a good lecturer, and he posts his slides on CCLE, and they're a good resource to study from. The study questions should be a free 15%, and if you show up to the lectures (which you really should), you'll get another easy 3% from extra credit. The book's pretty unnecessary, but it can be a good study resource. However, it's probably not worth the price. The T.A. also put up a pretty comprehensive study guide for the midterm and the final, but there is a lot of information that you need to know, and if you're not good at memorizing science terms, like me, they can be pretty tough. So, in my opinion, it's not an easy GE by any means, but if you're interested in the subject, I think it provides a good intro.
