Great prof. Keeps it interesting. Funny, and keeps your attention. Tests can be tough, assignments are super easy. He brings in real world examples (not "what if's", but actually pulled up statistics from stats canada website, etc), which I found really helped me understand the concepts. Definitely would recommend him.

Clear and concise lectures. Straight forward assignments. Great notes. Exams weren't too difficult, final was a piece of cake. Definitely recommended for 102.

Awesome prof! Conveys material clearly and is a funny guy. Exams are challenging, but fair. He doesn't pull any punches which is nice. Highly recommended!

He is a good lecturer, but his exams are incredibly annoying. You don't really need a deep understanding of the material at all, but if you want to do well you need to know everything that's in the textbook. His powerpoints are useless as a study material, just read the textbook and read it again.

Econ 282 is kind of lame compared to 281, but Wong makes it quite interesting. If you like econ, you should like his class. His two midterms are more difficult than the final and none of the exams are even similar to previous ones he gives for practising. Read the ppt slides and if you like real data, enjoy the class. BTW he speaks in lolspeak!

Awesome, willing to help with a good sense of humor. Exams are fair and textbook oriented. Powerpoints summarize the textbook and give main ideas but like any course it is required that the textbook be read to gain an in depth understanding and to further reflect on key ideas. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Economics.

The professor teaches basically directly from the textbook and posts notes online. That being said, macroeconomics can be a little dry, so it's in your interest to go to class. He does a pretty good job of livening up the material. Be sure to understand the case studies - anything on his powerpoint slides is testable material.

You do not even need to go to his class, all his notes are online and exactly like the textbook. He always says mmmmmmkay? after EVERYTHING And it gets really annoying that you don't want to attend class anymore. His exams are nothing like the assignments and not mathematical, more memorization.

Great prof. Funny, helpful, and the midterms are very easy. As long as you keep up with hie notes (which are posted online) you should do fine in the course. The textbook helps, but you could do without.

I took ECON 102 and 282 with him because he was so awesome. It was 2 years ago when I took my first class with him and my impression of him still hasn't changed. He is the reason I love economics and made it my minor. Fantastic guy! Changed my view of the world.

Good prof. His lectures were interesting but not extremely helpful for the exams. As long as your read your textbook going to class can be optional. Aplia assignments were pointless. Though lectures weren't too useful, I still enjoyed this prof and would recommend him for 102.

Tests are a bit difficult but I love the class. Keeps lectures somewhat entertaining and though his tests are tricky, they're manageable.

He definitely got me interested in learning more about econ, he's great at relating the material to events occuring today and how it's applied which is great. His assignments are online format with multiple attempts & great reinforcements of material. Exams were painful. They're long and tricky to eliminate answers.

Very straight forward, willing to help and answer questions at any point. Fair and down to earth to deal with, I would recommend professor Wong to anyone genuinely interested in Economics. His notes cover key topics, like a highlighter, so put effort into supplementing those notes with your textbook readings.

Good guy, funny, but i was bored to death. I used to skip class since all notes ( powerpoints ) were on aplia and ide read the textbook. Only half the class ever showed up. After that, i now hear he made attendance mandatory and gives you marks. Good guy, provides real world examples. Worth taking.

very awesome prof in the sense of teaching. But marking.. plz

Pretty good prof, is really good at explaining confusing material,but it helps if you read the text before class. Really liked how he brought in lots of info about current events and would show how the info is relatable to the real world (although lots of it was from the text, he still expanded on it in class). Overall, enjoyed his class.

Definitely great pro

I am already interested in Econ, but he is a great Prof. Tests are fair, and straight from the notes. If you can use his notes to show that your answer was correct, he will admit that he was wrong and give you credit. He is clear, and makes the class easy. Take either his class, or Gordon Lee's.

He is incredible! He loves his field and his lectures are fairly interesting. He always connects the material to current events in economics. His exams are a little tough, so studying is a must.

Good prof, but I hated this class. His notes were lacking, so just read the textbook since he tests from there. Attendance isn't mandatory unless you don't understand something (I attended but regret not sleeping in). Tests were a bit tricky, but if you study you'll do fine.

Hmm he is a good but his notes are too vague and his exam questions are to tricky I am an econ major and I love it I learned a lot with him but I found his exams too vague like he asks stuff that is kind of off topic on the exam I still got an A- but I would not mind taking him again but I would avoid if I could

Andrew explained stuff well for the most part (I also took ECON 102 with him); some of his examples were repetitive, but love that he connects to current events. He is reasonably helpful and marking is fair; you can def challenge T.A.s marking if you are sure they missed partial marks. Overall, I'd say great class and prof, def recommend.

Great prof,super nice and funny.It was his first time teaching this course, so exams were a bit tricky but its my fault for not studying more I guess. Read the textbook, class attendance isn't necessary cause his slides are right out of it. But I would recommend going to lectures only cause he's funny. Overall, easy course, read the textbook, do HW

Andrew is awesome! I had him for intro econ and now Buec, and he is very entertaining. His Buec exams were tricky, but this was his first time teaching this particular class. He is genuine and always willing to help his students out. His lecture notes are straight from the textbook, but I would study from both.

Andrew is a great prof. He takes the test questions directly out of his power points which makes studying easier.

This prof was so boring. He posted all the notes online and just read them out in class so attendance wasn't really mandatory. The midterms weren't too bad but the final was the hardest test I have EVER written, it ruined my mark. He isn't horrible but I would try to avoid his class.

You dont have to come to this class. just read the textbook over and over again so you can do well in tests!

Andrew's enthusiasm and discussion of real-world examples are great. However, it would be nice if the class were more challenging and rigorous. He should also encourage more questions and class discussion.

phenomenal prof , keep with the readings and you will be fine , his exams are tricky so studying is required although make sure you can think quick because he does not allow you enough time in my opinion

This course is by far one of the most entertaining course ever. Mr. Wong is funny, knowledgeable and clear. You don't NEED to attend (ppts are on eclass/aplia) but you almost feel bad for missing it. His examples are extremely helpful and guaranteed you will remember it every time you see it! If you get a chance, take Andrew Wong!

Wong is a great guy hands down and his english is good. Tests are fair although he despises practice tests. Gave us them for the midterms but wouldn't give an answer key and gave no practice final. Other than that though he is an awesome prof in class and although the material is often dry he made class bearable. Would recommend for 102!

Very good Prof. Good notes and really good lecturer that you look forward to going to. DEFINITELY recommend for your into econ class.

A very nice professor who will answer your questions patiently and clearly. His lectures are useful and interesting while the tests are a little bit hard.

If you're going to take ECON 102, this is definitely your guy. His lectures are great: clear, interesting, and informative. He's very willing to help students and clearly wants them to do well. Read the textbook and attend class!

Andrew Wong is a great prof! You cant ask for much more in a prof than what he gives. He teaches the book and if you are unsure you can use the textbook for clarity. Homework is super easy cause you can re-do questions. Super nice guy who really loves economics. As far as Econ 100 profs go, hes the guy you want!

Andrew Wong is legit. If you are like me, and avoid going to class unless it's absolutely necessary, this is your class. Read the textbook, and you will do very well in this class. Lectures are not necessary. Andrew also was great with responding to emails quickly.

He is the best prof i have ever had! Clarifies everything and gives excellent examples to make this course interesting and easy to understand. If you put in the work he gives and listen to him you will do very well! He also is willing to provide lots of extra help.

HE IS GOOD, BUT HE DO NOT HAVE ANY PRACTICE FOR EXAM. IF YOU FEEL NOT GOOD ABOUT IT, DO NOT CHOOSE HIS COURSE.

Excellent prof, I didn't do that well in the exams but did okay overall because I guess he scaled it. Really approachable as a person, and I would definitely take another course with him.

Very nice prof and funny as well. As far as exams go...His term exams are pretty hard and his final is one of the hardest I've ever written. He also tests on things straight from the textbook that are not covered in lecture or his notes so make sure you purchase the textbook. Assignments are a nice grade boost though worth 15%.

Attendance to class is a must, as he explains concepts more thoroughly in class. Read the textbook, as he greatly encourages us to do. Really nice, funny, and exams weren't that difficult. Loved him and would take another class with him!

He's a good prof overall. I liked listening to his lectures. The material is quite simple and you can get 80% by only putting in one night of work per exam. The difficulty comes from how you must remember all equations, plots, and concepts with the time pressure. Short answer questions are almost all or nothing (the TA just looked for the answer).

BUY THAT TEXTBOOK!! He tests on the FYI's, remarked briefly on the first class...take it seriously! If you read the textbook thoroughly you will do fine. Questions are simple, almost pure definitions and knowledge-not application. If you have an questions go to his office hours or email. He is good about making time and answering any questions!

Andrew is probably my favourite economics professor. Tests were challenging fair. I recommend hi for anyone looking to take an Econ course.

Andrew Wong is hilarious. Make sure you read the textbook, his notes are based off of the text. He brightens up your morning at 8am. Relatively easy exams. Would recommend him.

Funny and enthusiastic prof! His notes are straight from the textbook so there is no need to purchase it, unless you're aiming for 100% since he does ask some things from your reading. The midterms were very easy; the final however, was pretty tricky. Overall, great prof and I would recommend him to anyone taking economics!

Probably the best economics professor you can ever have! He's asian but so clear, makes the class interesting, and exams are very very fair. His notes are a good summary, but textbook is a must. I did not go to his class often, but going probably would have made my mark better, Easy A class! TAKE HIM!

Hilarious guy. You can miss a couple classes, but he gives out a lot of hints during lectures. Study the text!!! The exams were just like the problems in the textbook. Plus It was probably the easiest reading textbook I've ever read (elementary reading level). You'll whip through it.

he kept us laughing, and was realistic with his expectations. recommend.

Honestly the BEST professor I have ever taken. I wish this guy taught all the subjects. So so helpful, clear, knows his stuff, and exams are fair. Attending class is not mandatory but he's hilarious and makes people want to attend :)

His lectures are interesting and you can tell that Andrew cares about his students. Attendance isn't mandatory but I recommend going to listen and have concepts explained in a better way than the textbook. He's a good prof but his office hours are very limited so you should talk to him after class. Overall impression is take him for Econ 102.

To be honest with you, he is the best entry econ teacher you can find in u of a, he speaks clearly, and he make his material fun to learn, and the latter is a very very important component in effective teaching, very nice indeed, Andrew Rock!

Andrew Wong is a great Econ Prof.. I took his 8am class and was able to pay attention because he is so engaging and passionate as a teacher. He uses great analogies and uses real world examples and current events in his lectures.

funny

The class was alright. He spent a lot of time on stats canada with the words so small you couldn't even see them from the front row. His notes are posted online AND directly out of the textbook. Studying is important. The midterms and finals were kind of tough. The assignments were super easy. I'm not a huge fan of econ but the class was alright.

Andrew is a super nice guy, His midterms are extremely easy. but oh boy... the final? I swear no body left the final early... I think what makes it tough is that he does not have any practice final or midterm... it solely depends on your understanding of the macroeconomics. But compared to other Econ 102 profs, he seems to be the best one.

I got A+ without attending class. read textbook again and again and again. Andrew wong is a really nice professor and funny.

He is a funny guy, I would say it is hard to get asleep in his classes. And he will show you the data from the Ca Gov. website which can help you to into the Econ world faster and better.

Andrew is a great professor. He gives good examples in class and cares for his students.

I really enjoyed Dr. Wong's class, it is essential to read the textbook and follow along with his notes (his notes are online, but to do well you need to attend as he explains his notes more clearly).

Read the textbook THOROUGHLY. Highly recommend getting the study guide with the book - it helps a lot for question expectations. Only went to 2 classes and still got an A.

Andrew has an awesome sense of humour, and would often have an 8 am Winter Term class laughing out loud... The subject matter is simple and interesting, the textbook is easy to read and understand, and his slides are very informative. This is an easy class, and the occasional skip probably won't hurt you too much.

He explains very good with examples.

Best Prof out there, give him a raise

Great prof for 282. Knows everything to a T. Exams weren't too hard. Best way to do well in his class is to read the textbook, and do the practice questions in it. Only beef with him is he provides 8 short answer questions as practice for each midterm and the final, which isn't really that helpful, and then he doesn't even provide the answers.

Good prof. 2 group presentations, midterm, final, and HW every 2 weeks. Attendance isn't required. He goes over the PP in class and gives examples, but it's all posted online. Read the text and you'll do great on the exams.

Every time i go through his notes and book, the text is still very strange! Very hard equations! You better understand everything, or the question will be hard.

You absolutely need the text or you will not do well. HIs exams are exclusively from the text and makes it easy to skip his lectures. I will warn everyone you have to read every single piece of text in the book as even on the final there were questions from the FYIs and Case Studys

Don't need to attend class. Hardly put any effort into this class but was great!

I really enjoyed this class but all of it is you learning on your own from the textbook, as in class all he does is go on Stats Canada to help better cement the ideas you learn from the textbook.

Going to class is not mandatory. All you need to do is read the textbook and you will do good. All the tests are straight forward and basically straight from the book. would take again, however if you are not capable of independent learning he is not for you. The seminar sessions are nothing more then a mark booster.

Andrew Wong is a great professor to learn an introductory macroeconomics course. He makes every lecture interesting, and he explains difficult concepts in an easy way so anyone can understand. However, be ready to do lots of reading because he tests strictly out of the book. And make sure you read every single detail because he will test you on it.

Andrew Wong is a pretty good prof. He is very clear. However, he spends too much time in class on Statistics Canada. All of his lecture notes are directly word-for-word from the textbook and everything is posted on e-class. Blended learning is not helpful for learning, however the in-class group assignments are usually grade boosters.

He made BUEC very interesting, but the tests were quite difficult compared to the MyEconLab questions. It's important to go to class if you want to do well, but it's not IMPOSSIBLE to teach yourself the concepts. Textbook isn't entirely necessary, but is a good resource. Would probably take again despite the exams being quite difficult.

The tests are really easy, they're almost verbatim from the textbook/lecture quizzes. If you read the textbook, and really study the examples, you'll get a good grade. The lectures don't offer much more than the textbook, but if you have questions, he's good at answering them

Two midterms, one final. Don't really need the textbook, his power point slides are clear. Focus of the course is on the models.

Great guy, exams are not difficult at all if you study, and presents the information in an entertaining and understandable way.

Cutest man alive! Would take again, an easy A if you work for it. The curve is super high. His slides are concise & summarize the textbook well. He throws a few random questions from the TB (which he wrote) to distinguish the A's from the B's. Attendance isn't needed but helpful-- he talks about the random questions he throws on exams.

super easy course... got an A even I just went to his class five times this term..(3 classes and 2 midterms). You just need practice over and over again on Learning Smart, you will find the midterms and final are super close to those practice problems

He changed his assignments after the first two so it shows you the answers after one try, and you get three tries, where the highest mark is taken for grades. Tests are easy and you do learn some interesting facts about macroeconomics, while getting at least an A if you read the textbook.

Good lecturer but he mostly just read slides that were straight from the textbook. If you show up and pay attention and then review the book you will do well on his tests.

Weekly online homework assignments - you get three attempts of the whole assignment (rather than each question) and he takes the highest score. Although he changed them after the 2nd one so it'd show you the answers after your first try. Study the lecture notes, and make sure you us restate the online assignments, and you'll do fine.

I thought lectures were interesting, despite what everyone else says. Exams were very fair.

I am not great at math and there is a ton in econ. However he breaks things into manageable sections and every other class is a work shop or lab to put into use materials and formulas learned the previous class. Also the Etextbook is the best I have used and gives feedback and asks you questions as you go. He's a pretty funny guy as well.

Took his class over summer semester, and had a blast. I found Econ 101 to be bland in content, but loved the material, and loved his lectures. He tells funny stories and explains concepts very clearly and helps with non-class related economics (or non) stuff too. One of the best teachers I ever had!! I was engaged the whole semester and loved Econ!

I stopped going to his lectures after the first midterm and did really well in the course. Apparently putting minimal effort in the assignment, reading the textbook, and doing the learnsmart questions is sufficient

Funny guy, very personable and wants you to succeed in his class. Engaging lectures in which he provides examples that stick in your head well.

Dr. Wong might not be an interesting lecturer, but he makes up for it with relatively easy tests. We were allowed to schedule them for whatever time we wanted within a certain week, which was nice. The homework on Connect was much more challenging than the tests, so be prepared to put in the work there.

Pretty straightforward course. His notes were solid but if you're aiming for an A you need to read the textbook. Exams were very fair and were similar to the online homework questions.

Andrew Wong is the future. Makes a boring subject interesting. Open to questions during class, explains things really well. Accessible via email, too. He also lets pick your own exam dates. Only thing is his exams aren't necessarily as easy as his teaching would have you believe Would definitely recommend.

Andrews a really nice guy, very easy to talk to during office hours and answers emails very fast. Lectures were dry but his textbooks really well written so it wasn't necessary to show up to class, although he uses lots of real world examples to show concepts. Good choice especially if you can self study efficiently

The midterms were very easy, but the final was brutal!

Mr. Wong is great at what he does. He respects his students, cares about whether or not you've learned the material, gives awesome lectures (at a good pace), and is a very fair marker. I would highly recommend him.

Midterms were surprisingly easy, but the final seemed designed to be confusing. Took the course during the summer and despite each lecture running almost two hours he managed to keep it interesting, clear, and generally pain-free.

I've taken both 102 and 282 with Andrew Wong and if I get the opportunity I'd gladly take another of his classes. A great lecturer, plenty of resources on eclass, fair exams and easily accessible.

Wong's a good prof in that he loves the material and wants you to love it too. His midterms are fairly easy, and final was harder but not terrible. The assignments every week are actually quite tough sometimes but not horrible. His lectures are dry at times, but he does seminars with questions he doesn't post online, so you should go to those.

Doctor Wong is a very caring instructor. His lectures may be dry at times when he just reads off his PowerPoints, but he is willing to help students succeed. The textbook is vital, since exam material is mostly from there. He does not post Seminar slides, so it is important that students show up for those, whenever scheduled. I recommend this prof.

He definitely wants students to figure out concepts for themselves which can make learning them initially quite difficult. This definitely made more work for me but by the end of the course, I actually understood how models worked instead of memorizing them. Don't let the easy first midterm fool you and study really hard for the second midterm.

Andrew was awesome!! My favourite prof so far! He answers e-mails quickly and in EXTREMELY good detail. His lectures are great, but if for whatever reason you cant come to class - dont sweat it. He wrote the textbook we use and its phenomenal. All the tests are straight from the textbook. Blended learning was great, 10/10 reccomend Andrew!

Slides are posted online but the seminars aren't. Seminars are good for the online assignment. Assignment questions are textbook questions. Midterms were as easy as the practice ones. Final is a bit difficult so attend every lecture, he hints as what he wants to test. Wong uses examples to keep the lectures engaging.

He is a good prof and replies emails really quickly. He writes his own exams and the wording sometimes is quite tricky.

Andrew Wong teaches really well and if you pay attention, you will pass. By attending class, the main thing you will learn is if the formula on the slide is wrong and needs to be corrected. Besides all that, he tends to rely on Statistics Canada a lot. Overall, use the textbook to study as it will increase you your chances at getting an A!

love his accent especially when he says 3 but his lectures are based off his textbook which is easy to read and follow along, I did bad in the majority of the connect hw but got 90's on the midterms, class average low 80's so yea overall recommend you should take his class

Easy to follow along in the class. Everything in the lectures can be found in the textbook.

Hes a really nice and funny, I really liked him as a person. The midterms were reasonable and related to the lectures and textbooks, it reflects well with how much you studied. However the final was nothing like the practice exams, assignment or midterm, it was so hard, tricky and unfair, hence took more time to think and 90mins was not enough.

Has his own textbook and presents lectures based off of it so attendance is not mandatory. Midterms were both super easy but final was quite hard compared to the midterms! However, is a super approachable professor and is easy to understand if you attend lecture.

The assignments are confusing and don't really reflect what you need to understand, but both of the midterms were fairly easy, which is why the final seemed so difficult. However, it was a fair final everyone just wasn't expecting it. Super nice prof, lectures are kind of a waste of time though.

Midterms: Know lecture notes, do connect questions from the textbook. memorize questions pretty much and ur good. *Optional* Read textbook if u have time, will help. Straightforward exams. Final: Know the last 4 chapters in depth, unlike midterms. Gotta read textbook well, memorize lectures, do connect Q's, and his prac final. More difficult.

His class is really interesting but I honestly stopped going after a while (lectures were unnecessary). Assignments were not too hard but also weren't reflective of the exam questions. Midterms were super easy unlike the final which was really difficult. Didn't matter much since everyone did poorly, bringing down the class avg.

Andrew Wong is the man! He'll make 102 really interesting and easy to learn! Do not take up the chance to take him as your prof! The tests are easy, just read the textbook a little and do the weekly practice questions. I loved his lectures, he's funny too and super approachable. Took him in summer, 10/10!

Amazing Prof! Funny as hell, he made class interesting. The midterms and the final were not too hard, however the web assigns were confusing. The concepts in the assignments were not fully explained for the homework and the wording was confusing. However, they do not count for much nor are they indications of the tests.

Professor Wong provided plenty of practice to prepare us for exams. The tests perfectly reflected the textbook, so it was easy to prepare for. The textbook was well-written and up-to-date on current events. Overall, I would say Professor Wong is a very reasonable person.

Well, I took him in person and I found him super engaging and interesting. I also did really well and learned plenty about microecon, I mean macroecon.

Not worthy of his bad student feedback. His lectures are good and he's a great lecturer. Everyone complains about paying for his textbook and test program but at the end of the day the textbook is very helpful and why would he write a textbook for free? No incentive to make a textbook without getting paid- simple Economics. Read the textbook.

He's a pretty good prof but his classes don't go over everything that's testable so it's better to read the textbook. Otherwise, he responds very fast to emails and is always willing to answer questions from students when they're unsure about a concept. His exams were confusing sometimes, but the curve is enough to save your grade.

he related everything to real-life examples which made going to class more enjoyable. I found the textbook very helpful with explaining topics I was confused with, and I hate textbooks. Do as many practice questions as you can

I will ignore the fact that we had to spend around $100 for his textbook and the access to complete the homework assignments. I thoroughly enjoyed his lectures everyday as he would always discuss interesting real world examples.

He is a really nice and enthusiastic, even though his lectures can be a little boring, but this class isn't that hard so it's fine.

Exams are based entirely on course material. Questions can be hard but are completely fair drawing on concepts from class and forcing you to think. There is a term paper for this course and Professor Wong outlines what he expects very clearly, if you start early and do your research it'll be fine.

He's a good professor and his lectures are fairly decent. He tries really hard to make his lectures engaging and associates his classwork with current events. But you will need to buy a textbook that costs anywhere from 90-110 dollars as there are assignments that you cannot complete without the textbook.

Gonna be so fr; he's not bad at all. Just buy the textbook, read through it, make notes, and you'll be fine lol.

Took Econ 102 with Andrew same time I took Econ 101. Wording on his slides is mediocre but the lectures are very good. he is also a very silly man. my goat 🫡🫡

Wong neva wrong

Very clear guidance, fall behind and youre cooked though.

He seems like a nice guy with a bunch of interesting opinions, and showing off data from Statistics Canada was interesting, but his notes don't over over the textbook deeply enough, missing details covered by the book—and yes, you have to pay for it as it comes with homework. Other than that, he seems like a cool guy.

Probably the best Econ prof at the UofA. I especially like how he ties in current events and historic examples. He does an amazing job making economics feel alive and dynamic. His tests are tough though and you can't get by them just based off memorization. He really likes to test on small or one off things so make sure to know everything.

The best Econ prof at the UofA. He is very knowledgeable on everything and does a great job tying in current and historical events when teaching. He does an amazing job making economics feel alive and dynamic. To do well in the courses he offers you have to really understand EVERYTHING that is covered, even a one off comment during a lecture.

He's a really great lecturer. I found the real world examples to be helpful. I suggest reading the textbook instead of the slides only for the exams. Yes, they are hard, but the curve will save you.

Genuinely a great guy. Slides make the content seem pretty basic, however his exams read more like an IQ test rather than a traditional test of knowledge. Read the textbook to study rather than the slides as lots of questions stem from passages in there. Never seen this guy in a bad mood, always eager to teach.
