Comment:

Took the online bus 101 class and he withdrew me because I didn't attend his "mandatory" orientation. I explained to him that I could not be there because it was only offered on one day, and I had to work. He was very rude and unprofessional in his response to me. Told him to just drop me from the course.

Comment:

I regret taking this class. This teacher will give you a pop quiz every single day and assign the entire text book for reading. He doesn't teach anything. He just has you read the text book and then he grades you on the reading with pop quizzes. He doesn't even make sure you understand what you just read first, he just quizzes you.

Comment:

Marketing 260 - be ready to read the entire text book. He assigns chapters to be every single night. He also has given us a pop quiz every single day of class beside the first two days of the semester. He grades on attendance and you automatically fail his pop quizzes if you miss a class. His tests are impossible unless u memorize the textbook.

Really cares about his students and wants you to genuinely succeed, but the lectures were boring and useless, only show up for the quizzes.

Comment:

This professor is actually not bad, HOWEVER, if you, like myself, have ADHD and plan to take his online class, I would definitely avoid it if you can. The material is bland and he doesn't have any lectures, just quizzes, tests, and reading. Otherwise, he's a good professor, but next time I'd take an in person class or on online with someone else.

Comment:

He makes you read the entire book and each chapter comes with at least 80 questions and a quiz. sometime he assigns two chapters in one week. He expects you to be at the computer 24/7. and he doesn't accept anything late at all and there are no make-ups. On top of all the reading and the chapter questions and quizzes he also assigns long papers.

This man! I tell ya what. Funny! He's always willing to help. Little awesome Asian man who always wears a suit. It's hard to understand what he says sometimes cause he has a thick Asian accent at times but oh well. He tries to make his class as fun as possible. Not the most harshest grader ever but you have to use your brain somewhat. Take Him!

Comment:

He dont really go into depth about chapters, he dont take time to help you get the chapters, all you do is read hope, you get it and take test and quizzes... and hope you pass! He grades everything, if he can grade clothing, he would! The teacher talk about other things instead of what we dont know, His lectures are boring. He is not recommended

After reading the reviews I was excited to take this class; he seemed like a good teacher. I am taking it online right now and we had assignments due on the 3rd of January; canvas wouldn't even allows us access till the 11th. When I messaged him with my concerns he was rude and said he sent an email out and that I was going to be withdrawn. Ok!

Got a notice in the mail saying I was failing. Online grade said 74% (C), When I asked about it he said it was at a 53%. I looked at all my score and sure enough he was wrong I had a 78%. After review he corrected it but still makes me worry if I hadnt stopped to check! Willing to help if you help your self.

Not sure about the ratings below me, but the teacher is hard! You need to memorize your book to pass his test. He does not review his test too, so yup, plan to work hard if your taking him for MKT-260.

Professor Wong is easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. He has worked in the field and really knows what he's talking about. He's a fantastic teacher and not only taught us about marketing, but about being a responsible consumer. He cares about his students. He often sends out emails telling us about good deals or available jobs. Amazing:)

Comment:

Prof Wong is very clear and precise in his directions for assignments. He will state and restate things. I took the class online. As long as you follow his instructions you will be fine. Length of paper is more important than content. As long as you know basically what you are talking about it's an easy A.

Comment:

more interested in paper length than paper content. It took me half a semester to figure out that long gibberish was worth more than precise thought. In fact he failed to notice my cut and paste job on the final assignment. just do his busy work and he will hand you an A.

Comment:

He doesn't throughly read papers. He told me I didn't have the mandatory 6pages for a paper and gave me an F. So I e-mailed him a copy of my paper saying that I felt he was mistaken because my paper was 9 pages. I was in his online class so you'd think this guy would check his e-mail SEMI frequently. I didn't hear back from him for A WEEK.
