Although Wong talks fast and the powerpoint lectures can be insanely long, the material is extremely interesting. His midterm and final are both worth 45% of your grade (multiple choice) and the class is straight-scale, so there isn't a whole lot of room to wing it. However, he offers 3 extra credit opportunities throughout the quarter which can boost your final grade up to 3%. His exams are relatively straightforward. In addition to memorizing the powerpoint slides, make sure to write down the examples he says out loud for some of the definitions/concepts, because often those examples will appear on the exam almost verbatim. The exam questions focus more on scenarios/examples rather matching a definition with a concept. Overall the class is manageable and covers a lot of cool material.

Professor Wong is a very organized and clear lecturer. He does talk very fast to get through all the material, but this usually just means you need to write fast and get out of the 2 hour lecture early. Professor Wong makes it pretty fun and interesting. It's best to attend class, since he says some things not on the slides.

This class is pretty easy if you took AP Psych in high school, and it's pretty much just memorizing all of the material on the slides. The class is two (non-cumulative) multiple choice tests (50 each) that are each 45% of the grade, and another short research assignment. You can boost your grade if by 3% by doing the EC (super easy, but you need to be in lecture to get the paper you turn in for extra credit).

Overall, I found this to be an easy, enjoyable class, and would definitely recommend taking it if you find psychology interesting or want an easy class to take!

Definitely would recommend this course! Professor Wong is Awesome

I highly recommend this class with Prof. Wong. He's very nice and generous, especially giving out three extra credit points to your grade throughout the quarter. The first two are given random times during the quarter at the end of class so you have to be there to receive it. You get the third one if more than 80% of the class fills out the evaluations. Don't really have to go to lectures but they're amusing and you never know when he's going to give the bonus points. The book is not needed for the course. His tests aren't that hard; the TAs made a great study guide for us before the midterm and final that covered most of what we needed to know.

Psych 10 is definitely a workload. This class is straight scale so what you earn is what you earn. The midterm and final are worth 45% each, the research requirement is 10%, and he gave us 3 chances at earning extra credit which is a really great bonus. The book is ranged between 80-100+ bucks but truthfully speaking, you do not really need it. The key to passing this class is focusing on the power points in class and actually attending class. I made the mistake of focusing too much on the textbook for the midterm so that's why I ended up with such a low grade. Wong is an amazing professor, he is very enthusiastic and you will know when sitting down in class for almost 2 hours if psych is the right major for you. He is really funny and honestly just makes the class so much fun, I would recommend this class if you are good at keeping up with a fast pace class and are good at memorizing things easily.

Professor Wong is the best. 10/10 would take another class with him, he brought starbursts for the entire class (like 200+ people) once. Also DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK. Seriously, several people told me this, and I still bought it to be safe, I opened it maybe 5 times to look at some concepts I didn't follow during lecture, but I EASILY could've gone without it.

Our TA was helpful because she made study guides for the midterm and final and had review sessions. I basically just studied the day before both (minus going to the review session), and if you just review the study guide questions and the lecture slides you'll be fine (it is a LOT of brute memorization though).

Professor Wong also gave out a total of 3 extra credit points to your final grade if you did the assignments (had to be at lecture to get the assignments which is tricky because his lectures are almost exactly just the lecture slides that he puts online so you're tempted to sleep in often).

Definitely recommend this class as an easy easy GE, especially if your a North Campus major who needs a science GE.

This was definitely an interesting class; however, I found it difficult at times because this class requires A LOT of memorization. The midterms are fairly straightforward, but be prepared to memorize all of the slides word for word! You definitely do not need to get the textbook since everything you are tested on is on the slides. Although I did learn a lot, I wouldn't consider this class as an easy GE.

Overall, I liked Wong. He is logical and concise. He also seems to care a lot about his students as well.
This class however is quite a bit of work for a GE.

His class is purely based on memorization. There are 2 tests: the midterm and the final (non-cumulative), each worth 42% of your grade. There is much information to memorize for each test, however all questions (multiple choice) are straight forward.

There is almost no homework, other than 10 online multiple choice questions per week. You only need to get 5 correct to get 100% on that assignment.

YOU DO NOT NEED THE TEXTBOOK. The textbook is completely useless as Professor Wong has very detailed powerpoint slides that outline exactly what you should know. He even posts them online after the lecture for you to review.

Lastly, this quarter 36% earned A's and 35% earned B's.

He gives you a syllabus with assigned readings, there's not much to it. You can pull off not reading if you listen well in lecture, but word to the wise some test questions are from the reading (not a lot, but the points count). The tests were 50 multiple point questions which was very fair, and much appreciated. The TA's were really helpful when making the study guide, topics not in the study guide weren't on the test which made the midterm and final even more fair game. He also offers extra credit and makes witty jokes that I really appreciate. I liked the energy that Dr.Wong and his TA's Chelsea and Julia had, their youthfulness made them a bit easier to relate to. Definitely strengthened my interest in psychology, 10/10 would take it again. (:
