This incompetible teacher, can't teach, I took his course online, and he just loads you with tons of work, that you can't even sleep, or catch up with other assignments, basically you have to read all the book, then take a quiz from the chapter, and do an essay, with no samples or instructions at all. Until now he is the worse teacher I ever had.
This class was hell. He loads you with as much work as he can. Basically 3 quizzes a week, must read the chapter for each quiz, and then 2-3 papers a week, 3 major, 1 research & 1 final. One of the first lines in the syllabus was "So you thought taking an online course wuld be easy" I made an appt to meet him and he was a little better after that.
Do not take his online class!! I repeat do not take his class!! He grades really hard. There is no way I could see anyone making an A in his class. His grades and deadlines are ridiculous!! No help at all.
If you are looking for a laid back class, stop now! Requires twice as much more than a normal class. Instructor is a perfectionist. Students must have superior writing and grammar skills before taking his course. BUT...he is responsive to all questions and is readily able to assist you throughout the course. Would not take again.
Avoid like the plague. I am an intelligent english speaking person and this guys class was awful. Horrible teaching, basically told you to read the book and learn what you could. I took him and wished I hadnt. Out of 65 people to start the class we only had 11 finish.
I'm really disappointed to took that class; the teacher is not helpfull and how he explains is not clear a lot of student drop the class the other failed the class. Only 6 students approved the class.
Don't do it! He's harder than my comp and comp 2 classes combined and I had him for a remedial class! Does not go over material and focuses to much on other things.
If you wana learn how to write really good then take his class. He's a pusher but its good. I sugest u take his class in person tho, not online.
I have never had a harder teacher. I am an A student and not afraid of studying, but every time I would improve my writing he would find a new thing to pick on. He took five points from my title. I actually learned quite a bit,and I am a better writer for it. If I was going to be a writer I am sure I would have appreciated his ways a little more.
kept on failing my paper for grammaer mistakes. Hes really picky when writing papers, takes off for everything. still a good teacher learned alot from him
This professor is not thorough at all with his instructions and answers!! He changes directions of assignments often. He is a control freak. He will not let you complete projects ahead of time. He is extremely strict on attendance. He takes off points for every minute that you're late and requires an excuse if you ever want to make up anything.
i didn't like him at all.i couldn't understand him and he was hard.so i dropped out don't take him EVER!!!!!
Worst English teacher ever. Very Unhelpful, confusing, and inconsistent.
good teacher very helpful
Really tough class gave me a run for my money this guy can't emphasize the textbook enough, something that not many people do these days. Overall great course would recommend if you want a higher level of education.
Great class, is really tough at first but he was alright after.. really makes you use the book..
i took his inrw class. hes willing to help students improve there grades.
He gave a second chance for the class to retake a test for a better grade.
Mr. Wong offers extra credit in my GUST class. But he does not accept late work.
i took his gust class, the quizzes are openbook, but i still had to read to get a good score
He cares about his students and talks to me one on one. Awesome teacher!
Mr Wong stayed after class to answer my questions, very patient and helpful and caring teacher!
Great teacher! He met with me & helped me figure out how to study to pass the class! Will take him again.
Awesome guy, very helpful, he tutored the class on a Friday night. Will take him again
he did a tutorial sesion for the class on a friday evening to accomodate the class. will take him again
Not an easy class but I learned a great deal! He held me accountable for my learning.
the class is not boring at all. had to use the book a lot for quiz & test
Easy class & didn't waste money for the book. We used the book for quizzes & tests
I was never good in English Mr Wong helped me learned how to write with correct puntuation and other stuff
Will take hime again
Did not like the way he teaches. He is all over the place and lets the other students get us off track. Would not EVER take him again. I would not recommend to anyone.
Mr. Wong is a good person he cares about the students. He took time out to tutor us outside the class. He was also kind of funny. The students were interesting due to some characters in the room.
if u read the book and turn in the work, it's an easy A. quizzes and exams are open-book open notes.
Mr. Wong gave us different class activities so time went by quickly. I had to use the information from the book and apply it in my situations. I had to do some serious thinking in his class.
This guy cares for the students. He met with us on Fridays one on one to see how I was doing in all of my classes. He offered ideas to me to get a better grade. Also responded to my email quickly.
Prof. Wong is a great professor he wants you to pass and will gladly help you. We had to write one essay during his class and he met with me outside of class to help and gave good feedback. You need your book you will have journal assignments almost every class from the book but they are easy. Tests are open book/note. This is an easy A. Take him.
he is not boring. i had to use the book more cuz the quiz is open book.
Will take him again. He really cares and wants me to pass the class. The class is not easy but I got a lot out of it. He responds to my email quickly and answers all of my questions.
I like the way he teach. Very clear, step-by-step.
English was never my strong subjet. He walked the class thru the process of writing our papers. That made it easier.
He offered the class to retake a test many of us didn't pass. Appreciate the 2nd chance!
His class is not hard. But you have to use the book to pass the quiz and test.
Mr Wong encouraged me to do well in school. This class also helps me choose my future job!
Mr wong is there to help when I need it. Great teacher. will take him again.
he let us retake a test and i got a better grade! he cares about how we did in his class. will take him again definately.
He is a great teacher! It is hard. You just gotta do the homework! Easy A! If your not a lazy person! With tests he gives you pretests on aplia, they are the same questions for the test! easy A if you do it 3-4 times!!! :)
Mr Wong cares about me passing this class. He is very helpful and told me things i need to do pass. Its an easy class but i have to turn in the work.
Great class! I learned about my future job, what university to transfer to and degree I need, what classes I need at San Jac, etc.
Great teacher, very helpful.
mr wong gave you review practice to prep for the test. he walked you thru how to write essays so it seems easier this way!!
You have to show up in class to take the open-book quiz and get credit for doing class activities. This is not a hard class at all! Just turn in the homework and you will get an esay A.
This guy doesn't make sense. He will say one thing then two minutes later he will change his mind. All he does is lecture throughout the whole class. I like teachers that interact with the class. I also dont understand him.
Mr Wong is responsible and does teach. I will still take him again if I don't pass his class.
Mr Wong cares about his students. I like the way he explained how to write essays, one paragraph at a time. He spent 3 weeks to make sure we learn how to do good on the final! Awesome teacher!
Just do the work, quiz/test are open book. Easy A. Hes a good instructor. I will take him again for my INRW class.
Professor Wong helped me after class and met with me one on one. I am grateful and thankful to have Professor Wong as my teacher.
If you want to learn and you're serious about your school, take this Professor Wong's class. If you don't care, take any other teacher who doesn't care about their students. Professor Wong is the real deal! He is very understanding and actually cares about his classmates!
Professor Wong is very helpful!!!!you will learn a lot!! Only lazy and irresponsible students complain about him. I took both my inrw 0302 with him and did not do as high as i wish i did. Honestly just do your work and show up to class. Wong is a true professional. Very organized, picky, and will encourage you to do great in every writing paper!
Great teacher, really learned a lot from him. Very helpful outside of class as well, even with my SAT. Would definitely take him again.
I'd recommend to take Mr Wong. He gave us a second chance to retake the 1st test which I failed the 1st time. I studied the 2nd time and PASSED it! Awesome professor, very caring and helpful!
All you need is read the book, work on aplia, show up in class, this is not a hard class. The quiz is open book. I learned a lot from Mr Wong, he broke things down so it's easier to understand. I'd definately take him again.
VERY patient and helpful. Mr Wong helped me one one one after class for 2 hours. He really cares for his students!
Professor Wong is very easy. As long as you pay attention and stay on top of your course work. He doesn't require much. He is not a lecturer! I fully recommend him! He is also very helpful with your questions and makes sure that you fully understand 100%
Mr Wong is clear about the assingments so there is no guesswork on my part. Tests are not hard cause he put reviews on aplia. I'll take him again.
Mr. Wong is very nice and always there for his students, he walks thru all the steps about writing essay and other assignments. Just make sure you show up for class everyday and complete all the assignments then you will pass! good luck
This professor was really helpful and explain everything very clearly. While his lecture, he gave examples to the class which helped us to understand the lecture. He does not start talking about new topic until everybody understand his previous lecture. I liked the way he taught us how to write an essay. I will recommend him to every student.
I took Mr Wong's summer class. Tests are not hard becuase u can study the reviews. He gave clear examples to us to work on assignments and he taught us to write essays step by step. Great professor!
You will just do the work and go to class to pass the class. The whole class passed Mr Wong's class except a couple dropped. He's very understanding and helpful. He asnwered my questions after class and when I went to his office. Will take him again.
Very good professor. Hoping I can take him again.
He is a wonderful professor!
Not a good teacher.
The instructor was really helpful
Excellent teacher! The degree and career project helped me open my eyes about my future job. Now i know there arent that many jobs for my major, i chose another major with more jobs and better pay!
I liked how he explained every assignment, he would put a lot of details and he would never stop explaining till we all completely understand it. He would also pushed us to take good notes and always READ. I used to think reading was boring but after taking professor Wong's class, reading is one of my favorite hobbies.
Not a good professor.
He is a very good professor. He respects students thoughts and is flexible too. I think everyone should take his class.
He is a very good professor. You will learn a lot about yourself from him.
Mr Wong gave u reviews for the tests. He explained how to complete each assignment very clear. Will take him again.
Thanks to Professor Wong's class, I decided to major in business instead of pharmacy. We worked on a project in his class to figure out our major and future job. I wish my high school has a class like this!
The class is really inspirational and You have to work for your grades which is really important. you learn a lot
He is an inspirational professor. He also gives good feedback to students, and encourage students to get their goals. Moreover, he gives pop quizzes every class so that students should read textbook before class. I think that is a good teaching method. Therefore,students should take his class.
Professor Wong is a good professor indeed. He treats all students equal. I have had a professor who was mean to me because of my skin color, not only that he doesn't like me, he failed me and I had to fight for my grade. But Professor James Wong isn't like that. He is polite and encourage students to feel free to see him when they have problems.
You should totally get him.
Good professor. just a ton of quizzes.
He is a cool teacher that repeats "if you will" a lot. He's pretty chilled and laid back. Be on time and do your work and you'll pass.
Great Professor
A very caring, patient, and kind Professor. He is a very positive person. He makes himself available when you have a problem. Thank you again, Professor Wong.
Professor Wong was an awesome Professor. He cares about his students, and helps you understand. He cares about your success even after you finish his class. If you work hard you will do well, but don't expect an easy A.
He's really cool and honest, and also understandable
Awesome and best!!! Learn and enjoy his class Reading 0308. You should totally get him.
He was a great Professor and I learned a lot!
Pretty easy
I got an A in his class. He really care about students grade. Also, he gives you a chance to increase your grade by extra credit. His test was very easy and help you build a long term memory. I was lazy to wakeup early that's why i did not sign up his class next semester. I will wait until he has class after 12:30
Professor Wong was a very nice teacher. He inspires you with things that relate to the career you're headed too. He also throws in cheesy jokes during his lectures that are funny at times. As long as you read and show up to class and complete the assignments, you shouldn't have a problem with his class at all!
He is such a great professor. I can recommend him. He is well organized and particular in each task.
He is a very hardworking professor who works really hard to make his students get succeed in the required field.
Prefessor Wong is an excellent professor. He is always there for you. Every time one needs help, he is there you to help. He inspired you to do your best work, and he encouraged you to follow your dreams. The class is easy, and it teaches you very important soft and hard skills that you will need in college. I am so glad I took him!
He was best teacher that I have. He really care about the students. Also he explained clearly before the start class how is he going to be working during the class. He is really disciplined and organized. He doesn't receive late assignments.
It is my greatest pleasure to rate Professor Wong as a good lecturer. He is always very punctual to class, follows the syllabus accordingly, and very inspirational. He always told us, "this time I will hold you very strong by the hand and you must get there". He creates out extra time out of class hours to brush up weak students. He is good.
He is one of the best professors i have ever had, very professional.
Great man!
Good guy!
He is a great professor and he really cares about his students, he tries to get everyone to communicate and show their best work. If you keep up and turn in assignments on time then you will have no issue but if you're lazy and want no work ever then I don't recommend you take him. His work is pretty easy though, mainly from the book.
He is the best teacher ever, he helps us to ready for college and try to help you pass the class. He will give you easy A if you hard work and do all the homework on time. NO ESSAY in final exam :))
Hes a great professor, if you skip class theres a great chance that you will not pass. He gives good feedback.
Give good advice for student and help all student chose major and take right class
Professor Wong was easy to learn and of course attendance policy
Professor Wong is a teacher who would motivate anyone to go the extra mile instead of settling for a average grade . He will challenge you to the point where its worth sacrificing time inorder to succeed.
Has a great way of teaching and getting you ready to life about college
Mr. Wong is a very helpful professor that I have ever taken before. I had a great experience in this class and I would recommend to every student. Just be on time, complete all assignments and read books before class you will get an easy A+.
Your unique experience always support students, willing help if students need
Professor Wong will help you succeed in the class. He is caring towards his students and want them to succeed. Class wise, he will help you giving you good feedback in your writing,
Professor Wong is a great professor he does make you work for what you get, but he is someone you should listen to because everything he lectures about honestly will help you in college it seems like it's cliche but he knows what he's talking about. So take everything he says seriously, coming from experience!
Mr Wong is good, He always help students who need him. I would recommend
He will force you learn to get the good result.
Practical and caring
I took his English 1301 class. You can tell that its his passion to teach and help you succeed. The use of your phone in class is not allowed. He will give u a zero on one of your quizzes if he catches you on the phone so beware. I got two zeros for this. The course load is manageable and teaches u a ton. I give him an A.
He explains exactly what he expdcts from his students. Great professor
He is a great professor. Very caring and tells you exactly what you need to do to pass his class. I've had him before and I enjoyed his class very much! I would love to have him again. I recommend for everyone to take him!
At first he seemed harsh but it is only because he truly cares about your education, awesome professor!
Prof Wong is great but very strict. You have a test every time we meet. If you have your phone out in class he will give you a 0 for the day. He takes time very serious. Every time you walk out of class he will mark down how much time you were out. Do not take it with him. This class is easy yet it is teach like a university leveled class.
Excellent professor. If u think, u r a good student. Take his class.
Professor Wong is a great professor that I had ever learn. He has a very deep knowledge about the subject that he taught. I improve my English a lot after taking his class. Thank you so much, Professor.
I learned so much from this class. Thank you Professor Wong for all of your help.
He does give a lot of work, its common sense but it's easy if you pay attention and read the pages assigned.
Professor Wong was very understanding and made sure you knew what the following classes would look like.
He's not an easy class, but i have never had a better teacher .
Good professor he can be harsh at first but he is pretty cool if you just follow his rules. Absolutely no cell phone in his classroom he won't tolerate it but otherwise great professor and his class is easy to pass as long as you study for the tests
Good professor.
I like the fact that when lecturing he uses everyday life experiences as an example, so we have a better understanding of what he is teaching. He always finds a way to have everyone participate in class. I am happy that I was one of his students, and I am thankful for the knowledge gained. Thanks to him I've learned how to handle any challenges.
He was a very good teacher and helped me learn new things. He showed me how college was and what to do to be successful. He was inspiring to me and very caring.
His grading criteria is stupid and takes off points for not having the exact word he wants you to say. If its not his way its wrong.
Very hard class, he is rude and not friendly.
If you don't want to play "The Game of Mistake" avoid his class at all cost.
Professor Wong's class is very different to any other English Class. He gives extra credit, and if you follow all of his directions you have high chance of succeeding in his class.
I never had so many quizzes in my life. It's a pretty hard class.
Tough grader. If you get 80 above in essays its a miracle!
Hes a very caring professor that cares for his students education.
The professor significantly cares to inspire and strives to make sure his students understand the course material. He'll work with you after his school hours to help you review, revise, and understand your writing. The professor lives off the concept "if you put in the effort you will succeed" to every learning level so don't take him if you won't.
Mr. was a great professor. Great teaching skills. Just make sure you pay attention because he gives great feedback
Professor Wong is the best! He really helps you in class with your essays. He is a tough grader but I'm glad I took him. I really learned a lot from my essays.
I've just taken his class in spring of 2019, and I can say that I was lucky to have him as my professor. He attentively listens to you and patient with students. You've just needed to follow his instruction, complete all assignments on time, and ask him all of questions that you need to get answers. Do systematically all of those,and you will get A
Don't recommend. he makes the class harder.
He makes you go to tutor's, but there is no point. Even if the tutor corrects all the mistakes and you think that you going to get an A you really don't. He will find mistakes somewhere or another.
If you really want to pass comp 1 take someone. He is a tough grader!
I don't know how I passed this to be honest. very very tough grader! He is very picky. and don't ask him to many questions.
Professor Wong is a tough grader. I am glad he gives feedback on essays because this will help me for future courses. You must be mentally prepared for this class: pay attention, write notes, do not miss any lectures, lots of quizzes, and no cell phone usage.
Professor Wong teaches a great class! Honestly this class has helped change my mindset for the better and I discovered things about myself. I never liked school but after taking this class I enjoy college and the whole process of learning . Mr Wong is a good professor!
If you care about your GPA. DON'T TAKE HIM!
Several papers
Do not recommend to take him as COMP 1 professor.
Dont take his class
I took Professor Wong for GUST0305, 8 week course. He is SO GREAT!! The only downside was that there is a quiz everyday since this class is 8 weeks, but we can use the book on each one! (not on tests or final) we also had homework everyday so make sure to turn in your journals on time!! Tests are easy since they are the same questions used on quiz.
Mr. Wong was one of the first teachers ever that I encountered who gave quizzes and homework every day! It was crazy to me at first but later in my semester he taught us that being on top of things was his specialty! He appreciated that we did so much work in class because they meant we learned something new everyday and that was his job to teach
Be perpared for quizzes everyday. Showing up on time will get you 10 points on a quiz grade.
I really enjoyed Professor Wongs Gust class! Its very simple if you read the textbook and complete ALL assignments. Tests and quizzes are a piece of cake! I definitely recommend all college students take Professor Wongs GUST class.
If I was to give advice to any new college freshmans , it would be to take Professor Wongs class , yes he does give homeworks but is duable , and when needed extra help Professor Wong is willing to help, and even advices you in what classes you should take.
Very good professor! Is an easy class to pass just show up and pay attention and you should be fine. He is there to give advice if needed.
Prof. Wong was a great professor! All you have to do is show up to class every day, pay attention to his lectures, follow all of his instructions, and do the work! He gives out quizzes every day, and it's 10 points for each quiz. His planning templates are very helpful and made the class easier, and he gives great feedback. Take him!
Professor Wong as a Gust teacher is inspirational. His class does require a lot of work, but it isnt hard you can complete all the assignments in one day if you wanted to. He talks a lot but everything he says is something valuable. He is man with a lot of knowledge! He only wants to steer his students in the direction of success. He is awesome!
Professor Wong is such a great instructor. He is very helpful, and he really cares about his students. If you attend class, participate, and do your homework, you will pass!
He his a great professor, would definitely take his class if given any opportunity.
I would definitely take Professor Wong class again. There was a quiz absolutely every day and a strict no cell phone rule. One thing I can say is he would never leave a student behind.
Due to the current situation ( COVID-19), I had to take online classes, and I could not meet professor Wong. Hopefully, after this pandemic mimics, I can have the privilege to meet this excellent professor. Professor Wong is one of the most straightforward professors without sounding too harsh. He is a luminary of a professor when teaching.
This professor is very disrespectful to all of his students . If one were to ask any question he shuts us out . The work is incredibly easy but he makes the class intolerable to want to go to . Parents who have heard him teach also believe he is completely disrespectful to his students . He tends to argue with his students as well.
Professor was so disrespectful! He definitely had favorites as well and you could tell. HE DOES NOT HIDE IT! If you do not like being disrespected, then please do not take his class. The work is easy, do not get me wrong, but his attitude towards the kids is so unfair.
He is very arrogant sometimes, and has too much regulated instructions.
U dont understand what he say
He gives assignment everyday but very easy. You need to read textbooks before go to class and very easy to get 100 on his quizzes.
He is rude sometimes and when he says does anyone need more questions and then you ask the questions he shuts you up by saying I already gone through that.
This professor is extremely difficult to deal with. You must write all papers using the exact words he wants you to use. He is a bit rude arrogant, he is right and the student is wrong. Multiple quizzes a week and mandatory collaborates. He is extremely repetitive it is frustrating. If you would like to keep your sanity choose another professor.
Professor Wong is an amazing teacher! He does take a while to respond to his emails but if you attend his lectures he will gladly respond to any questions you may have. We had 4 essays and after he would grade them he would give back feedback in order to improve yours skills. If I had an opportunity to take him again I would gladly do so.
Mr .Wong cares so much about his students . He took his time to work one on one with me for hours .As long as you are trying your best as his student , he will do whatever he can to help you . He wants you to succeed ! He does have high expectations of you . His work is easy ,as long as u study and learn from your mistakes he writes out for you .
Hes a good teacher, really care about students and guide students in college! You will need a textbook for class and we will read book together at class! The way he teaches in class is easy to learn and memorize! Highly recommend him!
Professor Wong expects nothing but the best. As long you dedicate your time to passing the class, you will. He goes out of his way to help his students. He also advises students on how they can approve their resume for their future careers. I will take him again.
Professor Wong was a wonderful instructor, probably one of the best I have ever had. He is very caring and took time out of his day to explain everything in great details. I would highly recommend this class with this professor to everybody I know. I enjoyed this class so much and it wasn't hard. Instructions were clear. Professor was available.
For an ESOL student, Comp1 is a bit difficult for me. Mr Wong wants everything to be the best it can be. As long as you pay attention to what he says, you can pass the class. Be prepared that you will have to read the online book before each class to pass the quiz. It happens every day. I'm very excited that Mr Wong will be adding extra credit in h
I dont like the way he teach
I have never dropped a class before until this one. This was the most aggravating college experience I have EVER had. He would talk forever about stuff unrelated to work. He will call you out if you take notes WHILE he talks. He moves too fast and I felt like I didnt get any thing from it except the desire to drop the class every single day.
He is an okay professor. He gives out assignments he can not keep up with grading. My average in his class was always low because he would not grade assignments from months ago yet he was so quick grading big major assignments. In my opinion he has a very short temper, he cuts you off and I feel he does not truly listen to you.
Genuinely liked the way he teaches the course. Hes very straight forward about assignments and what needs to be done to pass. As long as you show up and do your assignments on time you pass the course with an A
Just read the textbook, show up everyday for class, take the 10 minute quiz, listen to the lecture and youll pass. The class is half common sense and half textbook material. Just do the work and it will probably the easiest class you take. And prof. Wong tell give detailed instructions. you dont need to buy the textbook he has them for his class.
One of the best teachers Ive ever had!
Professor Wong is the best! Whoever does not like his class is because they are just plain lazy and want an easy grade. He is a tough grader, but that persistence helps you succeed in other literature classes. He goes out of his way to help students and is always willing to work with you on his own. I will definitely take his class again!!!!!
He is a tough teacher to take but he holds you account as an adult. If you communicate with him, he will work with you. If you pay attention and follow his instructions, you will pass this class. Overall, I enjoyed his class and learned a lot. Thank you.
Mr. Wong is a tough teacher to take, so if you passed his class you really did try. I will say that if you pay attention and follow his instructions, you will make good grades. Fells like he just wants to get everyone ready for the real world, which I appreciate. I am hoping I can take what I learned in the class with me for the future.
Professor Wong is an excellent professor. He helped me a lot and was always very kind. He wants you to do your best and inspires you to do so. I would highly recommend!
I took professor Wong for GUST0305 college student success. He was always helpful and caring. He wants you to succeed and inspires you to do so. He teaches you good communication skills and reading skills. I highly recommend.
I had Professor Wong for INRW and ENGL1301 for my first semester in college. . He starts to act up a lot, he doesn't listen to you, and the way he explains is hard always talks about something not related to the subject, he's a good grader though he always gives you an excuse to not give you a higher grade.
This is by far the worst class and professor I have ever taken. The class itself was easy, however the content and the way he teaches is ungodly terrible. If you have any care in the world for your mental health STAY AWAY.
Professor Wong can be annoying at times because he is extremely particular about how he runs his class. His class is extremely structured and attendance matters! He requires a lot for his assignments and lectures majority of the class period. He is not that personable and is not the most understanding. I personally would not take him again.
Wong's unclear grading, isolated group work, inappropriate behavior, strict tech policies, and unrealistic expectations cause stress and do not promote a positive learning environment. Clear expectations and support are crucial. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS OR ANY OF HIS ENGLISH CLASSES!!!
Daily chapter quizzes and super strict essay grading for a class that has over 60 percent of the course grade come from two essays. When he says he's a "control freak", listen to him. He walks you through a majority of the essays, but in turn grades very heavily on each and every mistake.
Wong is a tough grader. He does tend to go off topic, but I think it makes the class more interesting. Overall if you are open minded his class will be easy
I completed Professor James Wong's ENGL 1302 course and gained valuable insights. His practical teaching approach effectively prepares students for real-world situations.
Professor Wong is a great professor, provides good feedback, and, is a good grader. The class is not easy, but he gives good instructions. If you follow the instructions you will do well in the class. I highly recommend taking him if want to learn English he is so good at explaining grammar and your writing skills will improve with him.
Mr. Wong challenges us and is empathetic. He communicates clearly and effectively; videos are very informative which makes it hard for us to miss assignments or misunderstand steps. His assignments are well spread and not overwhelming, he gives examples to ensure we understand the course contents. Mr. Wong is easy going but! does have expectations!
This Professor is awesome and if I had to take this class again I would prefer Professor Wong again
Very detailed step by step teaching on assignments. Explains throughly each assignment.
Amazing teacher, I took his GUST:0305 class. He allowed a one-time exception, meaning at the end of the course you can retake an assignment. He's an easy grader and gives good advice. He also gives well-detailed checklists on what needs to be completed. It's easy to follow, just get the work done.
Professor Wong is an excellent teacher. He would give clear instructions for the Bi-weekly assignments. His notes and teaching style made it easier for me to understand. He would follow up with students and made sure they were on track.
Professor Wong was more than a great professor. His generous feedback helped me in many ways . I was always told whenever you get to college. All of your teachers will be mean and strict professor wrong with the complete opposite. I enjoyed learning from him.
Professor Wong made class 1302 informative and interactive.He provides in-person appointments outside the class, where students can seek assistance with the given assignment. He provides step-by-step instructions for each essay and gives enough time to complete it. He also provides information that helps students prepare for the real world.
Professor Wong is an amazing professor who provides detail-oriented information about writing, reading, and other components of the course ENGL 1302. He also assists students with essay editing and suggestions towards admissions to transfer to a four-year university.
Professor Wong is articulate and clear when giving instructions for assignments, He encourages us to be our unique selves when writing, and gives constructive feedback. Overall, Mr. Wong is an enthusiastic and passionate professor with a great sense of humor.
Gets triggered easily by things as simple as you needing help and asking your neighbor. He called me embarrassing for working at my own pace. Treats us like elementary school kids. Don't ask him questions he will cut you off and not even let you get it through. He made me hate my favorite subject. He is not understanding overall a nightmare teache
so bad. dont take. RUN
HIGHLY recommend NOT to take this class. Any time you want to use a strong word in your writing, he will make you sound like an elementary school kid and make you feel like you failed as a writer. I have always been a great writer throughout high school but taking his class has ruined my love for writing completely. PLEASE do NOT take this class!!
This professor will make you question your intelligence. If you want to ask him for help he will just make you feel stupid and not even let you get the question through without interrupting. He grades if your absent and only allows you to make up one assignment even if you are absent and even if you ask for your work ahead of time of your absence.0
STAY AWAYY!!!!! i would always take a deep breath before entering because of how much I did not want to enter, very tough grader, makes u feel stupid constantly would never recommend and would never take again, made me hate a subject I loved just no.
I 100% recommend taking English class with him. If you or any other classmate need help understanding anything , he will explain until you fully comprehend. Also, he comes up with some stories to help us learn, understand, and make us laugh to make the class more enjoyable. I really enjoyed coming to his class every day.
Professor Wong has a unique way of teaching, but lend a hand to learn and comprehend the subject. My grammar improved and motivated me to continue to accomplish more.
Professor Wong is a great instructor - clear, engaging, and fair. The workload is manageable, and his feedback helps me improve my writing. I found unstuck ai and ChatGPT super helpful for studying and assignment prep.
Class is very difficult to understand, Some of the assignments are hard to understand.
In the first 10 minutes of EVERY CLASS, there's a 10-question quiz. Plus, you have to read tons of pages before EACH CLASS and constantly do assignments. Way too much homework and too many quizzes. I DEFINITELY wouldn't recommend it at all. I passed with an A, but I did more homework than I've ever done in my life!!!
He graded assignments harshly; instructions were always so tedious & hard to understand. I passed with a B by the grace of god. He reminded me of the Mad Professor from Futurama or from The Fairy Odd Parents, lol. I remember I didn't answer 1 question right & he gave me a 0 out of 100, he give out FX like crazy: NEVER be late/absent from his class
Professor Wong is nice if you care about your work, but he can be tough on those who don't. He talks a lot, and sometimes it's hard to understand him over the noise. I would take him again, but my main concern is his communication.
He is really hard to understand. For a beginner i would not recommend to take his english class
The professor demonstrates strong professional abilities, particularly through an organized and engaging teaching style. Lectures are clearly structured, with each session building logically on the last, allowing students to follow the progression of the material with ease. Clarity is a notable strength.
He really makes an effort to make his classes easy to read and he goes out of his way to make videos step by step on his assignments.
I loved Professor Wong's class! He truly cares about his students and genuinely wants you to learn. Throughout the semester, he encouraged interaction and often paired us with classmates for activities, which made the class engaging and fun. I enjoyed this course so much! Definitely take him — you'll learn a lot and do well!
There is a lot of homework and early more quizzes, if your late, he'll mark you tardy, I really wish he didn't mark me tardy on my first day of class I didn't know my way around campus. Other than that he is a good teacher, he makes homework easy to understand, just make sure to study for the morning Quizzes.
While a hard grader, Professor Wong was extremely helpful and understanding allowing students multiple chances. He might not be everybodys cup of tea, but at the end of the day he is a amazing teacher.
