Professor Wong is fun and engaging teacher. The class assignments (several presentations and a group project) have real world applications. She grades fairly, but expects a reasonable amount of work for an ?A? grade. This class is not a blow off, but it?s not too hard either. I highly recommend Professor Wong as an unusually good teacher.

Mrs. Wongs lectures don't reflect her tests whatsoever. You can score a 100 on your only speech and still ruin your grade with the redundant vague tests format.

Professor Wong is AMAZING. She has great energy, does everything she can to ensure her students understand the lesson content, and clearly cares about her area of expertise. Be prepared to do a lot of outside work and read the textbook, but if you do that then you'll be all set. She's a great professor. Clear grading criteria.

She is a very good teacher who gives really interesting lectures. She was very nice and understanding. We did a lot of skills checks that are pretty easy and help with your grade. We only had two tests. One informative speech. And she was really helpful along the way. Do the work, read the chapters, and you can get through it. It was not that bad.

Loved this class! Professor Wong is very friendly. You can tell she cares about what she's teaching. Her lectures are very engaging and interesting. The class has two tests, one speech, a group project, and about seven homework assignments. The homework is very easy, the tests and speech are more difficult, as long as you study you'll do well!

I took asynchronous online during COVID & Im not convinced she really exists, tbh. You get a syllabus, assignment due dates & will never hear from her or learn anything. A waste of tuition IMO. A monkey (or 13yr old) could do the work, but its so boring and non-structured that its hard to stay motivated. ACC needs 2 improve quality of classes!!

Knows her subject well. In class activities couple with whatever was in the reading. While attendance isn't necessarily required, there is important info for tests and projects you only get in class. Everything else is a bonus. Activities are fun and informative. It's a communication class so expect to talk with your classmates often.

I really don't understand why this class has 2 CLOSED note exams. Grading criteria isn't clear. She'll dock points on the most minor things and the quizzes aren't according to the videos. Final speech video is HEAD TO TOE in FRONT OF PEOPLE. NO EXCEPTIONS. Expectations are too high for an elective class no one wants to actually take. Don't take her

This class was needlessly difficult. I have no idea why a freshman level speech elective has two closed note exams as well as a mandatory speech. Grading criteria feels like its all over the place, with points being taken off for things that aren't obviously necessary. Dr. Wong seems nice, but I have no real idea due to the way its set up.

Professor Wong provides a syllabus with clear grading material. The 2 tests are 7.5% each which are still less than the 4 perception checks. Super easy! She spends all of class helping you practice and prepare for them. Be prepared to converse with your classmates as she does have you pair up every class, but this helps prepare you for the speech.

She has very approachable teaching style. You work with your classmates a lot which is good. All she asks for is that you read the chapters, do the weekly quizzes, and the maybe 8 other assignments throughout the semester. She's a great educator and I highly recommend taking her class if you want a fun and insightful lesson on dyadic communication.

Professor Wong does an incredible job of making her class extremely fun. You are primarily paired up each day with a partner that you get to have discussion with based on what you're learning in class on that day. The conversations were always engaging and fun. Overall, the class is very easy if you listen and take notes based on the test reviews!

Dr. Wong was such an excellent professor. In each class we would participate in peer activities, and each day was some fun new way to practice what we learned in the lecture/textbook. There is one speech in the course, and she takes through each step along the speech writing process. Study terms for the two tests and you're golden!

Took speech online for her and I will say I wish I took it in person because there was a lot of confusion. There is 1 speech that has to be recorded and her grading is pretty tough. If you need a better understanding of things she replies very quick via email. Her class is very straight forward and something is due weekly. Not bad at all.

Professor Wong is super knowledgeable on the topics she teaches. She gives very clear guidelines for assignments and amazing, thorough feedback. There's 2-3 modules due each week (took me less than an hour each week) and a final 4-6 minute informative speech with an audience of 5 people (can be family/friends). Overall an easy but interesting class

Professor Wong is nosy and assumptive. If you share something in class, she digs way too deep into it and try's to dissect everything said. The assignments are silly and boring, the course content is questionable and practically the entire class is based on group work. Not an enjoyable class!

There were 2 tests (10%), 4 discussions (10%), 6 video assignments (42.5%), a group project (15%), and a live speech (22.5%). Carry your team in the group project, and you'll lose points; no peer reviews. Ridiculous 10-point deduction for every minute under or over the allotted time for speech, no matter how good your speech is on everything else.

You will get out of this class what you put in. Attend class for the most benefit and skills practice. Not heavy on memorization, but self-reflection is necessary. This class is a lot of fun and has so many interesting modes of teaching/learning. Keep up with the readings, assignments, participate and you should do very well in Dr. Wong's class.
