For me the class was difficult personally, but I think if you keep on the readings, or at least memorize content in the lectures, you'll do fine. I had trouble since I'm not good at science and memorizing the names of certain details (like medicine names or brain part names), but if you start early, stay on top of things, there should be no problem. The class will be easy if you put in enough effort, and if you don't, it's difficult. Professor Wong himself seems helpful and keeps his lectures entertaining. I definitely recommend him if you're taking the course. If you have a good TA, don't hesitate to ask them questions either. Professor Wong encouraged use of the online forum/discussion board (on CCLE) at the beginning of class, so keep that in mind as a resource if you need it.

Professor Wong lectures way too fast. He lectures on 2x speed. It was often hard to understand what he was trying to say. He is aware and told many times that his lectures are very unclear but still speeds through lecture slides. Exams were worded weirdly and tested on very small details from the slides. Memorize and learn the slides very well and you will be fine. Don't need the textbook. I depended on the TA for a lot of my understanding of the material.

This class is very challenging for a GE. Although extra credit is given, the amount of your grade placed into the midterm and final combined with the large amount of information that you have to memorize for them makes for a very stressful class overall. There are definitely more interesting and less stressful GEs.

Going into this class, I thought it would be super chill since there isn't a discussion section. As it turns out, getting myself to lecture turned out to be so tough, which ended up hurting my grade more than anything. Wong's lectures are pretty dry and it's hard to pay attention, but going out to lecture will definitely help you so much more when studying for the exam. I crammed for the midterm 2 days before and ended up with a 76% while I pulled an all-nighter for the final and came out with a 92%. It's very important to spend that extra time during the exams to double/triple check your work because it makes all the difference. Most people will finish probably 30 min into the exams, but if you crammed and aren't sure of your answers, make sure to really think the problems through before submitting. Also, going to class is ultimately in your favor because you can get his extra credit.

This class really helped Me to see the use of studying Biological & Cultural Anthropology in an effort to understand Human Nature and really taught Me that human observation really isn't Different than that of any other species. He spent some time on very introductoty concepts and taught us to work together to come to conclusions. Dr. Wong is an excelent Proffessor and deserving of your respect. I would kind of like to get him on~board as a personal Physician. Unless you're lazy, you should be able to pass pretty simply.

Disclaimer, I don't like science and I really don't like biology so take everything I say with a grain of salt if you like those things! This class was tough for me because I wasn't interested in the material. There is minimal homework, only the weekly quizzes, which took me 10-20 mins per week. I studied for the midterm and the final about 8 hours each the couple days leading up to the tests and got an 80 on both. The class is pretty much strictly memorization. If you are good at memorization and like to learn about cells and neurons and stuff like that I think this would be a really easy class for you. The midterm and final are multiple choice and not that hard, the subject just wasn't my forte. You really don't even need to attend lecture, he posts all the notes on CCLE and questions are taken directly off info on the slides. You also don't really need the textbook, I only used it to help me study but he doesn't use any questions that aren't in his slides.

A good GE if you're good at memorizing and need a class that has practically no homework. The midterm and final make up 85% of your grade and require that you memorize all of the lecture slides. The other 15% is quizzes, which are weekly sets of 10 multiple choice questions that you complete online and get unlimited attempts on. Just give yourself 2-3 days before the tests for memorization and you should be fine. In terms of lectures, they can be boring, but I found some of them to be really interesting and engaging. Prof. Wong cares that you understand the material as well, which is a nice plus.

The class was a fun one to take but turned out to be a little harder than I thought when the tests came around. I missed a lot of lecture and didn't take great notes but if I had tried harder I know I could've done way better. The professor is extremely knowledgeable and passionate but his lectures get a little tedious because he reads off the slides for a lot of them.

The class is pretty straight forward. Just memorize the slides and you'll be good. However, make sure to go to class because many of the questions on the exams are structured in a way that forces you to actually apply the knowledge you've learned rather than regurgitate it back on the exam.

Got an 89.5% because I missed an extra credit. Moral of the story: GO TO CLASS.

FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

Psych 15 is advertised as a GE course tailored for non-majors, however, the abrasive teaching style and pressure to memorize every single word on the lecture slides proves more intensive and similar to a course for Pyschobio majors. The lecture is often DRY and appears HASTILY prepared. Considering the lecture slides contain DENSE material that comes from the textbook's company (and not created by the professor), there is a dissonance between lecture slides and exams.

I welcome challenging courses, but Psych 15 is unreasonably difficult that it provokes students to lose interest in the subject of Psychobiology altogether. Moreover, the grade distribution includes a majority of high-stakes assignments:
-42.5% midterm
-42.5% final
-15% homework
(You literally have to memorize all the slides.)

With nearly half of the 279 students enrolled scoring a C or lower on the midterm, this damages any chances of earning a passing grade without a curve (that isn't necessarily guaranteed). Furthermore, the unreasonable difficulty of this GE course is detrimental to non-major students pursuing certain graduate programs, such as law, medicine, etc. that heavily weigh university GPA. Ultimately, this course and the professor are not doing the students or university any favor. Psych 15 and Professor Wong do not show any interest in furthering students' academic careers.

Do yourself a favor and do NOT take this class with Wong.
