If youre wondering what her class is like let me give you a quick sketch: Prof: Any questions? Student: Prof: Wow okay. You really should know this. I will not go over it. How do you not know that? ... Prof: Why is no one participating and asking questions? Repeat for the term.

Comment:
The only notes you will have are the ones from class and they are very unorganized, she has no references. The only thing she does is post irrelevant articles on blackboard and tells you to read them because the students "have nothing better to do." The tests are extremely unorganized and the TA grades the tests irrationally, it makes no sense.

Comment:
I believe she is a teacher who genuinely cares about her students. This is a 400 level class so don't expect it to be easy, however, if you show up to class and go to office hours you should be fine for this class. She is always willing to help. Not for those students who hate math.

She doesn't use a textbook for the class and instead uses papers that are free online. She isn't very organized and comes to class late most of the time but she doesn't post any notes on Blackboard. She says you don't have to memorize formulas but the way the tests are graded you need to. Grades are on 3 midterms lowest dropped and cumlative final

Linda Wong is an amazing professor. She teaches everything in class. No book required. Only way you would do terrible in the class is by not attending and not listening. Other than that everything is in front of you. Tests are difficult but if you look carefully you see that it is set up so that a 60% is a B. If you participate she will reward.

Comment:
Mean. Rude. Dispassionate. Crude. Disrespectful. Arrogant. Not organized. All of which would describe Linda and her teaching style. Her class is full of random information, with no textbook for foundation. Truly the worst experience I have had at Binghamton. Four years at Bing and I just made this account specifically to write a review about Wong.

Comment:
She is incredibly disinterested in her students and more importantly their grades. She picks clear favorites and structures her class quite randomly. Tests are difficult and long. She did not pay attention to the project so as long as you provide her with some good sources you'll do fine. Econ 443 and Econ 444 were the exact same.

Comment:
Prof. Wong is amazing, so I am confused by her ratings on here. The people who complain on here probably didn't go to class. She condenses the information a lot so you don't have to read the textbook, which saves you a lot of time and effort. The people who couldn't get over non-native English speaking professor and skipped class didn't do so well.

AVOID! Tests are very hard and she barley gives you anything to study from but the class notes which don't make sense. Calc based class. Almost the whole class did horrible. 3 tests and a project.

Comment:
She has an accent which makes it hard to understand at times, but her lecture notes are extremely important, so study her notes and the textbook and you should do fine. If you don't understand something, just ask her in class. She is good at answering questions, don't get frustrated when she does mistakes, just verify the answer again and again.

oh my god, she is the worst professor I've ever had. It's like she's not even TRYING to teach. I would rather take 5 other Econ classes just to avoid taking one class with her. AVOID AT ALL COSTS AVOID AT ALL COSTS AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Is Linda Wong easy? No. Is every class easy? No. Linda knows her stuff, and most of the people who write such spiteful reviews never show up to class, and act surprised when she puts stuff that she only taught in class on the tests. She is very expecting of her students, but with hard work, an A is possible. She knows who puts in the effort.

While you may think that even with a bad professor, one can do well in a class with some hard work, this is not a class whee that is possible. Wong actively works against her students and you can not do well in a class where the teacher works against you. Makes me question Binghamton's high ring policies. She is the worst prof Ive ever had at Bing.

She is very unclear and the class was very scattered. I had to withdraw because my first midterm grade was an 18/60, only 3 points lower than the average. Very dangerous to take this class.

Really not as bad as some people say. As long as you attend lecture and actually try to listen you'll do fine. Definitely requires attention and attendance. The tests are doable and the Ta was super helpful.

RUDE. UNCLEAR. DISPASSIONATE. She is the epitome our failing education system. She breaks rules that are in place to protect students, uses grades as bribes, is rude to her wonderful TA, refuses to give examples, gives VERY poorly written tests, and consistently shows up late/ends early. DID NOT GET MONEY'S WORTH --> AVOID AT ALL COST

Comment:
She is easily the worst teacher i have ever had in binghamton. She teaches off book and puts random crap on the exams that were never covered. Going to class doesnt even help because she not only can't teach she also speaks so quite that only the front row can hear her. DO NOT take any class with her unless you ABSOLUTELY have too
