Excellent instructor and a nice person overall.

He's personable, helpful when you ask questions. Read the text, review the power points and study his study guide for the exam and you'll do fine. People who don't ace this course do not put in the necessary time....and blame the professors for their C's or D's. He's perfectly reasonable.

I took his mushroom course. GREAT COURSE! Very straight forward. he really knows his stuff, it was a blast taking it, i suggest anyone take it if can, i took it just for fun. A++++++ class

He seemed nice but the class was so boring I never went. He just read the powerpoints without much elaboration.... they're all online though so it's really easy.

Very easy class to take. Mostly review the powerpoints, jot down the Q&A, and study for 1 or 2 nights before the exam. Professor is helpful if you have any questions.

not bad of a teacher. great part is that the textbook is not needed. all the exam is based on his powerpoints. but there's lots to memorize. his exam was the easiest compared to all the other biol 172 teachers later in the semester. junk part is that he checks attendance.

Easy class, easy professor. There is no textbook, it is exclusively off of slides that you can download from the internet. Grade based entirely on three tests, but the tests are generally easy - especially if you get the study questions at the end of each lecture (must be in class for this).

He lectures off power points and his test is based primarily off the power point. However, if you want to ace the test, you need to read the book, or else you won't be able to tell the difference between the right answer and the answer that just looks right. If you just want to pass, then just study the power points.

if you need an easy a take this class. didn't go to class most of semester, still got an a. just study questions.

This class is ridiculously easy. There is no textbook; just come to class and write down the questions, which will end up on the exam. Consists of three exams and a final. Answers for the questions are found in the powerpoint presentations, so just memorize the questions and the answers, and you shall get an A.

Easy class, funny guy. Would definitely recommend. Info is all straightforward. Only 3 exams and one final. You don't even need to go to class if you have friends who do.

Wong lectures and at the end of each lecture he gives you 8 questions which will be on the exam. Study and find the anwers for those questions and oyu'll be all good. hes not the best teacher but i think its pretty easy considering its a science class which i personally struggle tremendously

Easy class, fun professor. Tests are based off the questions given at the end of the lecture. I passed most of the tests mainly with previously gained science knowledge, making going to class somewhat boring.

Easy class. Didn't even talk to him once.

A really great guy. He is very knowledgeable about fungi and it was a pleasure to be in his class. He's helpful and always willing to give you an opportunity to improve your grades.

Pretty easy class. It isn't the most exciting, but it's one of the easiest. Powerpoint everyday, gives you ten questions, fifty or so of them on the midterm. Pretty cake. Then there's some videos you got to watch with video questions. I think it's like one or two midterms and a final. No textbook required, attendance is recommended.

He is a great guy! Very clear power point lectures....crazy about plants!

Easiest exam I ever took. I finished in about 10 minutes, literally. Boring class, but show up to avoid the need to study for exams.

no need go class, he gives 8 questions every class that might be on final, just answer and memorize Q&A and you'll get the A, very easy

No book! Everything is in his powerpoints. There are 8 questions at the end of each lecture & that's where he gets his exam questions. So, go to class & you'll get an A. He puts the powerpoints online prior to class, BUT the 8 questions are NOT on there; he will only show them in class. Also, no homework!

Such a nice guy, but his lectures are so boring. The class is easy enough if you get the questions at the end of lecture, because those questions will be on the exams. If other people in the class start emailing the questions to the class, you don't even need to show up at all. Easy class, just boring.

Fairly standard class with slides, well written textbook, up to date and relevant material and a good overall survey of modern biology.

Gives eight questions at each end of lecture. All exam questions are the same. It would be easier if you have a friend so you only do half of the work. The problem is finding the right answer that's all. Listening is alright unless you want a perfect score.

Dr. Wong lays out learning objectives in the beginning of presentations so if you pay attention to those and take notes along the lecture, it's an easy A since the quizzes were almost entirely based on the learning objectives. Class wasn't too easy but definitely manageable. I'd take one of his classes again.

This class was graded entirely on 3 tests and a discussion post each week, so if you do bad on one your grade will suffer and it can be difficult to make it up. The class was pretty easy though, just pay attention to the learning goals for each lecture as those are the questions on the tests.

One of the best professors tbh. He gives easy quiz, all you have to do is look at the lecture slides and look at the 10 questions at the end of the slides, now answer those (answeres are on the slides) and every quiz, he usese 8 of those questions and puts in on a quiz. If you answer all lecture questions, guaranteed an easy A. Discussion posts ez.

I liked this professor more than Curtis Daehler, who simultaneously taught Bio172 for other modules in this course. His slides were packed with information and highlighted what was important and on the test. Basically you could work on something else and answer zoom questions. You could just look back at the slides when reviewing for the exam.

I can tell this professor really enjoys the subject that he teaches. I never thought I'd be interested in mushrooms, but here I am. The lectures are about 1-2 hours long but that's normal. He lectures the whole time so make sure you write down the answers to the learning objectives, which you will be tested on. Do your weekly discussions and study!

Very nice and interesting lectures!

His class is very lecture/test heavy, but the class is interesting. He grades everything based on 3 tests and a discussion type post every week. The good news is that on every lecture slides there are learning goals, which are basically questions for the tests, and he even posts the lecture slides online. It is a fun class, with a fun topic.

BOT135 is a great class. You see just how impactful fungi is on your everyday life. Dr. Wong is very passionate about the topic and you can tell by how he talks about it. 3 exams worth 85% of your grade and a weekly blog post. Very lecture heavy. Go to every lecture, write down learning goals before class and fill them in during lecture. Take it!!

BOT135 was a very easy class, but the majority of our grade was based on exams. Exams were not open notes, but exam questions were taken from the learning goals that he posted with each powerpoint. Lectures were very long and he had a monotone voice, but the content was interesting. He's much more interesting one-on-one, though.

I liked Dr. Wong. Yes, there's a lot of information but he makes sure to emphasize what to focus on in order to do well on the exam.

hes alr ig

For Biology 171, it was split into 3 instructors and Dr. Wong was the 2nd one. Although he may ramble a bit, he was really straight forward with the answers to the questions. When I was trying to answer the questions to the study guide, I was able to find his answers so quickly and its straight forward.

This professor makes sure that the things he goes over in class are the subjects that will be present in the lectures. The lectures are informative and enjoyable. However, be aware that his exam will go in-depth, so you should heavily go over the study guide and overall go over reading material/outside sources to have a better grasp of the subject

I really enjoyed Dr. Wong. At times he would go pretty fast through material but I thought it was manageable to keep up. He explains hard topics well and is available to answer any questions. I scored a 90 on the section that he taught. You are able to skip class but wouldn't recommend, because it makes much more sense in person.

I took magical mushrooms and mythical molds. The class wasn't what I thought it would be; it was way more sciencey. The class is gonna be hard if you can't sit through lectures, take notes and study well because it's very test heavy. Wong is very smart though, I totally respect him. Now I know how his classes work, I would take one again.

Dr. Wong was the 2nd lecturer of Bio171 and he was my favorite. He tends to tell a lot of stories that remind him of what we are talking about which personally helps me remember the information more.

Very calm and relaxing but informative professor. Tests are 85% of the grade so go to class, follow the lecture notes he posts and you'll be cruising. Tests cover exactly what is talked about in class. Material is seriously interesting, however, is much less about magic mushrooms than you would anticipate.

I may be biased because of having a good TA, but I liked how he structured the class. His labs were clear and most importantly interesting, the writing aspect was actually pretty doable and there were almost no issues with this course. Overall, I enjoyed his lab and would definitely take him again.

Attendance is optional. Homework is light, ask one question and respond to two once a week. 85% of your grade is based on 4 exams. If you want an A, study the questions on his slideshows properly and in-depth. If you are fine with a B or C, then using Quizlet to study for exams is fine.
