Comment:

Dr. Wong is a great professor. His classes are funny and interesting. He weights his grades, which can either be a blessing or a curse. He posts all the lectures online, and even records audio of every class. However, if you do attend class, he is very generous with bonus marks.

Comment:

I enjoyed the few classes I had with Dr. Wong. His tests can be tough but he marks them fairly and gives plenty of opportunity for bonus marks during lectures; an A is definitely doable. Study the class notes (practice stats questions) and ask questions when you don't understand. Dr. Wong is kind and humorous. Highly recommended.

Dr. Wong is an amazing professor! He's hilarious and has great lectures every class. Attendance is not mandatory, he posts videos of his lectures on-line, but he does offer participation marks for coming to class. Textbook is not used at all! Tests are all multiple choice and simple if you pay attention to his lectures! I enjoyed every class!

Comment:

Interesting course. Was difficult to understand at times because of his accent. Gave lots of opportunities to boost your mark through bonus participation assignments. Some were really easy, others involved more work. Tests were really hard and had lots of random questions but he marks on a curve so you usually end up doing well.

Posts EVERYTHING online, meaning he posts lecture notes and also records class and puts it all online. There are many chances for extra participation marks through quizzes or just general questions to hand in. Lectures are alright, if you study the notes you'll do great. Good GPA booster.

His grading curve is essential. But what does it tell you about learning anything when a fail turns into a B?

If you go to every class, you'll get a good mark. His test content is often totally unrelated, but he makes up for it by curving the mark. Can be interesting at times, other times really dull. Wish that the content we learn is what we were tested on!

Comment:

For this course, I wouldn't suggest Dr. Wong. I do think he knows his stuff, however he does not know how to teach it at all. His tests are extremely hard, and he really doesn't test on the course content. Mostly just random facts. He doesn't teach in class, he just reads the notes provided over the internet. But go to class to get bonus questions!

Really easy prof to get a good mark in, as long as you know the tricks, attend every class and make sure you write down the random facts he mentions in class (also to do easy bonus questions) and when studying look for questions that can be easily made into multiple choice questions ie. "How many laches for being **** in muslim law?" (a.80)

Awesome, I loved his class. If you're one of the few people who show up to class, you will totally be rewarded. Gives tons of bonus opportunities. Makes his tests super hard but then curves them so everyone does way better than they thought. He's funny too! Loved him, take anything you can with him. Attend class, it is actually interesting.

Comment:

GAHH Boring classes, hard tests full of trivia. One good thing however, he curves the tests. No textbook required for the class, instead you have to spend the money to print it off the student server. "Textbook" is full of contradictions, and it's hard to force yourself to go to class. Oon the other hand, I hear his other classes are far better.

Very funny. Makes his subject interesting. Not hung up on left wing propaganda. Cares about his students, gives them opportunity to pass.
