Comment:

I took Professor Wongs online Math 10 course and I would take her class again. As long as you do the homework which is pretty easy, and study a little for the test youll be fine. I recommend her hybrid course because it is easy to clarify questions and get in touch if you need.

Professor Wong is truly an outstanding teacher. I took Stats online and enjoyed learning from her. The materials on Canvas are clear and well organized. She is calm and speaks with clarity. This is very important for me as a student. She is encouraging and an effective educator. Prof Wong is truly dedicated and passionate to her profession.

The highlights: fast, brief and all over the place lectures with no clue what so ever. You will end up reading the book, teach yourself and do tons of assignments, even the assignments are in a very confusing pattern that will make it a nightmare. Examinations and grading are not fare and youll be surprised with new questions in the exam.

Comment:

Professor Wong is a nice person but for teaching Math she is not going to be the best. Her lectures were a mess, pointless and done in 10 minutes. You'll be bombarded with hard homework but you wont see those in the exam. You should jump through hoops in order to pass this class and hoping that you wont receive a D let alone hoping for an A.

Comment:

Here's the thing, if you show up and act like you don't care about your grade then she won't either. I found that by using the examples she wrote on the board and practicing them 3 times until I got each math problem right really helped. She gives practice quizzes and tests and also has extra credit available. I passed with a B+ and I hate math.

Comment:

Worst teacher I've ever had at West Valley. The things that bothered me the most about her are: constantly canceled her office hours, right before exams. Was very condescending all the time.. said things like "why don't you guys get it? I taught perfectly", "it scares me that you can't understand this" etc. Refused to enter points until end of sem.

Comment:

Math is my worst subject and I was worried I would struggle in this class. Somehow she made Stats interesting and always tied it back to real world stuff. She's conscious of the amount of homework she assigns

She is a really good teacher. She knows her information and is willing to go over addition examples if needed. She lets you use a cheat sheet for exams.

Comment:

Before taking this class I thought that she is a good math teacher. But She does not explain math very well and she assumes that everybody knows the material. I don't recommend taking Math 3A with her. If you really want to learn the course materials you have to study by your own!!!!!!!!

Comment:

3 tests (80 pts each/50% of grade) and a final exam (100 pts/20% of grade) consisting of Ch. 4 and a summary of what was learned. Gave a sneak preview of 3B, which made me not want to take it unless I had to. 4 quizzes (20pts/15% of grade). HW (worth 15%) is collected every Monday or Tuesday. Uses notes she made on a Word Doc. She made Calc easy.

Comment:

She will kill you with kindness (acts nice but not), calls you out if you're wrong, very tough grader; No Make-up, one simple error on your Ts/Qs and she will mark it wrong. Her Ts/Qs questions isn't the same as the book, she makes them. LOTS of HW, 4Qs, 4Ts, 1accumulative Ch1-12 final. Not a refresher class, get tutor. (TTest, QQuiz)

Comment:

One of the best teachers I've ever had. The pacing of the class is slow enough for everyone to learn the material and fast enough to keep the class interesting. As long as you show up to class, you're in a good position seeing that she spends a lot of time making sure all her students understand not only the material but also how it is applicable.

Wong is the best! If you do your homework, you will get an A. Plenty of opportunities to get extra credit and she is so understanding. If you think you can do any math class without showing up or doing homework, you're mistaken!

Comment:

Wong is an incredible math teacher. She teaches you the easiest ways to solve the problems, didnt make us remember equations and was very clear on what to expect on quizes and tests. I recommend her for anyone who has had trouble in the past. She will change the way you view math. Expect nightly hw, but it will help solidify the material.

Comment:

Math 14 wasn't your average math class so many students struggled. After our midterms she gave out our test back and said she didn't understand why the class average was low because she taught everything to us "Perfectly". She assumes her teaching has zero flaws so she passes the blame onto the students. She was of no help so we studied in groups.

I toke stats with her during the summer. It's not as bad as I thought considering i hate math. She teaches very good and her tests are straight forward and she doesn't try to trick you. I learned a lot and I managed to get an A. It does take effort but you also can use a cheat sheet when taking the test. Overall I would definitely recommend her

Hands down the best math teacher I have ever had. She is a difficult grader but she explains all the material with the utmost clarity. As long as you go to class you will learn the material and do well on her tests. I highly recommend Mrs. Wong.

One of the best math teachers I have ever had! She is easy to understand, and if you get stuck on a topic, she'll explain it in a different way. Allows you to correct your mistakes on tests and get extra credit points. In addition to math, she also studied psych, so she understands different learning processes. Love her! (Fall Session)
