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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This class was a lot of information and memorizing. Wong himself is a good lecturer and talks really fast, so you have to be engaged during lecture to keep up. He is a young asian man that is pretty funny though (one time he ran out of class really suddenly, and when he came back he explained that he just had to pee really badly lololol). The exams were difficult and you have to memorize a lot of the material in detail.

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.

Super easy, fun class. There was one midterm and one final, both were multiple choice. Professor Wong is a great lecturer and posts the slides on CCLE, so even if I had to miss class I never felt like I was falling behind. One tip I would say is to skim the textbook before you go to class, and read over the notes you take in class once a week. I did that, and I only studied for maybe one or two hours for the midterm and final and came out with a decent grade. He does offer extra credit, which is really nice, but you have to come to class to get it. The material was really interesting in my opinion.

Not much work but tests were impossible. Do not take this class thinking it is going to be an easy GE...because it's not. There is a midterm and final, both worth 42.5% and homework (super easy) worth 15% and extra credit. Still though, don't take the class unless you want to be stressed about a GE.

Nice lectures. Good materials. All slides posted. Extra credit given. The devil is in the details...
