This guy is probably the most unfair teacher at Concordia. For instance, he required the class to be divided into 12 groups and evaluate 5 cases + a presentation. The highest grade on the presentation was 80%, then he would rank the rest by power and strength. Meaning top 1 got 80, then top 2 75, top 3 70, and so on. Same thing went for the cases.

This class is very demanding, especially the group projects. Wong tries to make the class funny and interactive, however, he demands that you open your webcam and picks on people to answer his questions. There is no instructions for assignments or projects, you either get it or not. Beware, there is a lot of CFA materials and questions.

This is a great class. He forms it to be very practical and related to the real world. The projects are a lot and a lot of work, but it is really good practice. Additionally, he is the quickest grader and responder I have had at Concordia. Overall, he is very accessible and personable. Definitely, take him for fina 411 if you want a practical class

He clearly does not care about teaching or this course. Do not take him if you care about your GPA. He can be funny at times but it is not worth taking this course with him. I think he grades in comparison to himself, so unless you are already an expert in the course don't expect to get good grades for group projects and long answer questions.

The class format is half lectures/half cases, which is great because it gives you time to focus on tests and group projects for other classes during the 2nd half of the semester. Be ready to participate because Prof. Wong will remember your name and call you out at random

I took the class after a year of online classes, and he made it very welcoming and fun. His lectures are really good and engaging. He does call out on people to read the slides. The midterm exam was okay if you followed his notes and the exercises in the textbook. The final was a case analysis, for which he prepares you in advance. Great class!

Professor made the class very interesting and simple. Real-world cases and a very straightforward midterm with a case as the final. Definitely take him for FINA 411.

His class is fun, you can hear stories but very little practice. You don't get any feedontdbacks from assignments and exams so you will never know where you made mistakes. If you want a very low gpa, he is the best choise.

The professor is good when it comes to explaining the material, however his slides are not very detailed and you would need to read the textbook to have more clarity. The midterm and the final were common for all the sections and were written by the course coordinator. They are immensely hard and go beyond the scope of the course.

Found Professor had a poor attitude towards students. Asked for participation but put students down who answered him. Many bogus group projects assigned to avoid teaching. Class an ego trip for prof but waste of time for students who want to learn.

If you can you really should take him for comm 308: He explains sooooo well, he will give a practice midterm, a practice tvm test. The only comm 308 teacher that gives real examples and wants his averages to be high!

Professor Wong is the best teacher I have ever had at Concordia so far, in one of the hardest classes in the curriculum he continuously shows how much he cared and went above and beyond the other professors in the faculty.

Alright, I will make it simple for you guys if there was an award for the worst professor in JMSB it would be given to this guy, I will give you few points and you all can reflect on it: - Midterm totally random has nothing to do with the course - Projects with no feedback and draining - Racist - Grade you based on how much he likes you

I took the eConc course. It covers a lot of material and takes up a lot of time for an elective. The math isn't hard, but it requires critical thinking. Midterm and final were fair but not easy. Wouldn't recommend it due to the heavy workload, also easier if you have some general finance knowledge prior. There's 100% easier electives to take.
