Comment:

Her lectures are easy to follow and she is super helpful outside of class. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS. People say she isn't good at answering questions but that honestly isn't the case. There is nothing about Chemistry she cannot answer.

Literally confuses you and makes you do more work than needed. She doesnt answer questions clearly and only cares about getting her lectures done. She takes points off for no reason.

Comment:

One of the hardest classes I have taken at SMC but I don't regret it at all. I am not a science major so I only took this course for IGETC purposes but it honestly taught me a lot. Prof. Wong keeps you accountable and ensures you leave with the knowledge expected. She goes above and beyond than a basic chem class and I strongly recommend her.

Comment:

Not going to lie, she is a tough professor. This class took a lot out of me but in the end, it was very enlightening. Prof. Wong is very knowledgeable and expects you to put in 150%. Points are everything in this class and she hardly gives full points for assignments. Just participate and READ through the textbook carefully and you'll be fine.

I tried my best and put too much effort but ended up getting D. Took it again with Professor Waugh Walker and got an A with less effort. Im telling you guys she is the hardest professor at smc she deduct your points to make you struggle.

Comment:

She will eat all your points and pretend like nothings happened. Make sure to double check your mistake on exams because she marks correct answers incorrect!!! And dont put too much effort on homework assignment which is watching videos and answer questions, because she gives half credit on everything anyway.

She was the hardest prof i ever took in smc. Exams are hard and you will be given 4 quizzes which is also hard. If you write one word wrong for the lab report she will deduct point and if you late for lab she will also deduct point actually she will deduct point for no particular reason overall good professor

Comment:

I am having a hard time in her class not because i dont understand the subject its because she takes out point for no reason. Also she goes over the lecture really fast she doesnt care if her students understand the subject or not all she cares is finish it on time. Expect to write at least 4 pages in her lecture.

TAKE HER CLASS!! She's an awesome professor that is really outgoing and really cares for her students. She's super bubbly and cheerful and just adorable. She gives a lot of assignments though (they're easy and are covered in class). Doesn't give pop quizzes at all! If you're looking for a required lab course, T A K E H E R C L A S S !!!

Good chemistry professor. 4 tests, midterm, and a final along with weekly homework. The course has a lot of material (5 unit class) so you will have to put in work in order to get an A. She gives extra credit on exams and has very helpful office hours so take advantage of those. Overall interesting class, nice professor, and very long lectures.

Best prof i've ever had yet. Gives extra credit for quizzes and tests. Very straightforward. She's there if you need help or have any questions. I thought i would dread taking the class but I ended up loving her as a teacher and the class. Come to class, take notes, do HW A.

Good teacher, make sure you go to the lectures she does cover a lot in class. Professor Wong gives some extra credit you should take advantage of it. You will have to put in effort, its a chemistry class after all.

Comment:

Would definitely recommend her if you have to take chem. Great professor. Hw's harder than the tests which is nice because the tests arent as stressful as you think. Hw is online so you have to buy the access code. Lectures are VERY organized & VERY clear. I wish all teachers would teach like her. Take her class if you have to take a science w/ lab

Comment:

Professor Wong is the hardest teacher in Santa Monica College. When she grades homework, it is out of small points so if you got one wrong out of many problems she gives you half the credit. I didn't receive an A because she always seems to find something wrong in your homework or lab. Dont take her ever! You wont get an A unless you are blessed!

Comment:

Prof Wong is very experienced and passionate on her subject. Classes are all textbook based, as well as the quizes and tests. If anyone has a solid science foundation and good intuition her class will be a piece of cake. She's a strict grader and especially picky on the worksheets which need to be done and turned in weekly. Recommended.
