Great Guy to talk to and ask for help!
Best lab instructor ever, pretty sure everyone loves him.
He's great at what he does & he knows what he's teaching. Very easy to talk to & Jay's always there for you. If you ever have the chance to take his class, DO IT! He's been through the tough 4 years of GCM like us so he knows what it's like being a student. He's very understanding & overall a great prof. 1010
One of the best profs I've had so far, very knowledgable about the material and can relate to the students! I always know I'll have a good time going to his class!!
Jay's my favorite instructor by far. You won't find any other instructor like him at any other school, so if you can get into his class, DO IT! You will certainly not regret it.
Jay is absolutely excellent! His industry knowledge is unparalleled by other professors. He is always smiling and happy to help with design projects outside the class. He's very encouraging and gives excellent feedback. He goes above and beyond all expectations with his power points and extra resources. You'd be honored to be in his class.
Looked forward to his class every week! Never a dull moment with Jay, he really cares for his students. Marks fairly and genuinely wants to see his students succeed.
Really good at explaining and he always makes me laugh
Classes with Jay as your instructor is really exciting, it makes you want to look forward to each class!! He ensures the class understands material and even shares some extra tips and tricks. He understands and communicates with the class really well. Other than that, I'd say he's pretty hip too.
Jay is the coolest guy. This is the only class I have on this day, and although it's a pain to commute an hour and a half to school for one class, he makes it all worth while. He's great at giving feedback and really makes sure you understand the material. The coolest, funniest, most caring instructor! I'd love to have him again in future years.
Jay literally made GCM130 lab my favorite class out of all of them, he's such a cool guy and y'all are blessed he be teaching GCM130 lecture instead of Gillian
Jonathan A.K.A Jay is probablty the best prof you could have for 130 IMO, you'll be glad to have him
Jay Is freakin awesome. He's down to Earth, Chill, and plays cool music during Labs. He's extremely helpful , down to earth and not intimidating . yeee
BEST PROF! SUCH A CUTIE LOL
Honestly my favourite professor I've had. Makes lectures a lot more interesting than they would be without him and tells great stories to go with it.
Young. hilarious, inspiring and all around nice guy.
This class was very enjoyable as an elective, and Jay tries his best to explain the concepts and software in detail. He cares about the students and makes an effort to engage with them. It's easy to be interested in the subject from the way the material is taught.
Honestly Ryerson should hire more profs like Jay. He's young, so the examples he shows in lectures are actually relevant. He also is very understanding, and knows what types of struggles a student is going through. Definitely would take this class again!
Jonathan Wong is the best prof ever. Everything he taught is useful and practical. He makes lab and lecture enjoyable and is just a super nice guy all around.
Jay is such a greta prof! He's such a breath of fresh air compared to the usual prof you have. He's young, hip, and is super knowledgable about the field. He always presents relevant examples in class and makes sure everyone is on the same page in the labs. He's super caring about his students and genuinely wants to see all of them succeed.
Its so refreshing to have a prof who can really relate to students and understands student life today. He genuinely cares about his students and is very accommodating. The class itself was enjoyable and easy to follow with organized notes and relevant examples from his life. I'd enrol in any other class he's teaching in a heartbeat.
Jay is the best prof I've had since university. Even though Jay lectures, it just feels like he is having a casual conversation with you but at the same time, you're learning. He is very caring for his students and tries to find all kinds of ways to assist you if you need. His class is the only class where i can relax my mind and still learn!
Jay is my absolute favorite professor. He's extremely hilarious and does his best at helping us. He can be a little strict with grading but only to help us get used to being professionals in the industry. I'd love to have him as my professor again next year and I would definitely suggest this course to many others. It's extremely fun!
Very helpful and humorous
Jay was honestly one of my favourite profs this semester. He is so different from the typical strict professor stereotype, which makes attending class more fun! He is honestly so supportive and funny, he gives really great feedback and knows how to make his students laugh. Would definitely take his class again.
Jay is the best prof ever! He gives great feedback, he cares about his students, and he is very down to earth. His content is only difficult if you don't put the effort in. It is only a difficult course if you don't show up to his labs and learn tools, or if you don't put the effort in!
Great
Jay is an amazing prof. He shows much enthusiasm in his labs /lectures, meaning that he loves what he is doing. Consequently, all of his classes are enjoyable and its a pleasure to learn what he teaches us. He also explains thoroughly his assignments and what he expects from us. Looking forward to work with him next semester!
Jay is one of the best profs. Hes super nice, and makes sure that all students are on the same page. He also has a great sense of humor (during every lecture be prepared to laugh). Jay is really thorough in explaining all content and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. Great class and definitely recommend taking !!
Single greatest professor ever. Amazing, amazing, amazing. Super prepared and does a lot of work - answers questions right away, responds to discussion forum posts quickly, posts grades promptly. Tries hard to keep classes engaging (super hilarious and cute #fireupthatchilipepper). Probably the only lecture+lab i never fell asleep in.
This prof is amazing during lectures, he is very funny and managed to learn all of our names (aprox. 200). He is very caring and his projects are very fun. If you want to learn Illustrator in a fun way this is the class to take.
Honestly he is without a doubt one of the best professors in the world. Always chill and prepared and quirky, Jay is a pleasure to be around. His lectures are amazing and his labs even better. 100/100 definitely recommend him as a professor as well as his classes!
Jay is honestly the best prof I've had at Ryerson so far! He gives you all the information you need to do well in the course and is really helpful in giving you feedback on your designs/work. He is so funny, always cracking jokes in lecture to liven up the mood! I'm definitely going to try and get him as a prof again (10/10 would recommend)!!
Jay is literally the best prof you will ever encounter in life. He's so appreciative of his students (JAY IF YOU'RE READING THIS WE APPRECIATE U) and actually cares so much for his students as he always does his best to improve by asking for feedback and actually acting upon it. He's super funny and keeps things interesting! Lectures are fun!
Jay is the best prof I've had yet. He knows what he's talking about and makes you actually want to go to class. He's really relaxed but still makes sure everything you need to learn gets covered and is easy to understand, and is really patient with anyone who asks for help. Would definitely recommend taking one of his classes!
Jonathan (Jay) is an awesome prof! So inspiring, hilarious and his lectures are always interesting. Makes you want to go to class. The projects are fun yet challenging and are awesome for portfolio work. I'd recommend taking a class with him over and over again.
He's an amazing teacher, super funny, and always going out if the way to bring new material into the course.
I actually love having Jay as my prof, he makes everything interesting, engaging, and overall fun just fun. His assignments are unique and challenging enough to help you improve on your own skill as you're working on them! Honestly if I could have Jay for all of my classes I would.
Such a good prof! so funny and my favourite lecture to attend. Gives amazing feedback and actually helps you a lot.
Jay is an amazing prof. Really only took the class because I heard how amazing he was. Really funny guy, and keeps the class engaged. As long as you follow the requirements for the course, you'll be set. Definitely would recommend this course to anyone, specifically if Jay is the prof.
Jay is an amazing instructor! I wasn't very familiar with Illustrator before, and the first couple of weeks are really awesome at building up the necessary and basic skills needed to complete assignments effectively. As someone not in GCM I really enjoyed that class!
Really amazing guy, but don't think I don't forget him calling the Star Trek Enterprise the DEATH STAR. Like come on man, they're completely different! The Death star is spherical. SPHERICALLLL!!!
Absolutely my favourite teacher! He teaches you everything you need to know in order to succeed in his class. I had never used illustrator before this class and i feel very comfortable using it now. Quizzes are quite fair and easy if you pay attention in class. love him and hope to take another class with him soon.
Amazing prof!
One of the best teachers I have ever had!
This professor is a real gem. He cares so much about the performance of his students that it really translates in how well each of us learns in his course. He is extremely personable and understands the industry very well. 100% would take his class again/if I could go back I would probably have studied in GCM! Take his courses :) he rocks.
The greatest professor ever. I have attended Ryerson for years and have never met anyone that has cared about his students and made himself accessible like Jay has. If you sit down with him, he will explain to you as to how to improve your work before submission-no excuse for getting a bad mark as long as you're proactive.
Amazing prof. You can truly see how much he cares for his students - learning over 200 people names, giving insightful feedback on work and just having a pleasant personality overall. You don't feel dreaded to go to his lectures or labs since it is always a fun time. If you went to lecture and lab, you should pass the exam with flying colours.
The best prof in the entire world. I am so thankful to have had Jay. Jay not only makes you happy to have chosen Ryerson but excited about coming to class! He is very devoted and has inspired many students including myself to continue learning and working hard. He is so awesome.
Not only does Jay have a great personality, but he always makes you want to learn more about the course. His class is the only class you would not want to miss because he's very entertaining and funny and will always make the effort to try and make lectures fun.
Best Prof you could ever have! Will never regret taking his class. He is super caring and thoughtful!
probably the best prof ive ever had, you can tell he is so invested in what he teaches and he is absolutely hilarious!! you can tell that he cares and wants you to succeed:)
Best professor ever. Definitely hilarious and informative lectures, Jay is definitely a prof that knows how to teach and does it very well. He communicates well with students and shows that he really cares. He is very knowledgable in what he says and his charismatic personality makes the course 10x more fun. If you have him, you're blessed.
Jay made it exciting for me to go to lectures! He always knew how to make his students laugh and was by far the best teachers I've ever had!
i guarantee you will not regret taking his class. 10/10 would recommend, 10/10 adorable, 10/10 approachable, 10/10 goes above and beyond.
Jay is the best prof you'll ever have at Ryerson... legit. He knows what being a student is like and makes class meaningful for us. Really funny, really chill and knows his stuff. You'll want to go to class.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!!! LOVE YOU JAY. EVERYONE TAKE HIS CLASS HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST AND THE NICEST PROFESSOR EVER. HE LOVES EVERY STUDENT HE IS AMAZING. HE MADE ME LOVE GRAPHIC DESIGN AND LEARN ILLUSTRATOR #BESTEVER
Finally, a professor that remembers what it's like to be a student. Sympathetic, patient, friendly relationship with his class, relates course content to students' majors, and even goes above and beyond by taking time to remind us of academic deadlines (within the course and general important University dates). Therefore shows he cares!
Amazing lecturer - so caring, fun and informative. Has real work experience in his field and consistently brings in examples to class to show what we can do with the skills he's teaching us.
This has been, by far, my favourite course that I've taken and I credit that 100% to Jay! He is so sweet and funny and really just makes going to class enjoyable! this is the only class in my entire university career that I have not missed a single class. Definitely take this class, garnet you will not regret it!!
Jay is definitely the best professor at Ryerson. GCM 130 is a great course and Jay makes it even more fun! Definitely take his class
Jay is the best!
Best professor I've ever had! Jay is super kind, really enthusiastic, funny, and just cares about everyone. Understands what it's like to be a student, and gets the class engaged really well. He is very passionate about the subject and has a great experience in the field. I truly enjoyed the course and would definitely take a class with him again.
He's probably one of the best profs at GCM. He cares about, and is always willing to help his students succeed in his class. His lectures are never boring, and you can clearly see that he takes a lot of time preparing for each class. Overall a great prof :)
Jay is one of the my favourite profs, not just this semester but ever. He's nice, cracks jokes, gets students, has credible real industry experience, makes all the concepts easy to understand, and did I mention nice? One of the nicest.
Jay is the best prof you can ask for! The material is easy if you pay attention (go to all your labs and at least half the lectures), but it's not just a silly bird course. I learned a lot and although I'm an RTA student I can definitely see myself using the things I learned in Design & Layout in the future!
Jay is awesome! Loved taking his class and would highly recommend it to anyone
Great class, amazing prof!
Absolutely the most amazing professor I have had in four years at Ryerson. So thoughtful and caring about his students and wants everyone to have a fair, successful learning experience. Structures his course with quizzes and practice homework so you learn for bigger projects/exams. Helps that he is very down-to-earth, understanding, and funny!
The most amazing prof I have ever had. It's visible he genuinely enjoys and cares about his job. He remembers every students name, EVERYONE, literally. He is the most caring teacher, and goes above and beyond to help you learn and understand. His classes are what I look forward to in the week, he is so hilarious. A prof you will truly enjoy !
He finds ways to teach the class to be interesting, and intriguing to help you remember the information and stay engaged. He uses his own personal stories, works, and mistakes in the industry to add a better depth to the lecture. He makes you feel confident to approach him, and memorizes everyones name. By far the best prof I have ever had.
best prof ive ever had
Jay is the ideal prof. He's very helpful and actually acts like he wants you to pass his course. He explains content fully and clearly. He answers emails quickly. His positive personality makes you want to attend his class.
Jonathan was great!! I wish he taught more classes. GCM is great with in him it!!
Definitely the best prof at GCM. Friendly, approachable, and really wants the best for his students. If you need any help, don't be afraid to go to Jay. He genuinely cares deeply for all his students, past and present. His lectures aren't difficult, just show up and pay attention. He is really interactive and loves feedback.
Jay is kind of epic. He's like a friend. Helpful, great at giving advice. approachable. Even when people ask dumb questions, he always makes them feel special! Lol is kind hearted and Goes above and beyond in the classes. Always starts the Starts with jokes. shows job opportunities. Also never seen without his green Gatorade water bottle
Probably the best teacher I've ever had
I'm a first year, but Jay is the by far the best prof I've had so far! :)
I'm a first year and could not ask for a better prof.
I'm a first-year student and I honestly love his lectures, they're not boring or dry. He is hilarious and is very approachable! Would definitely take this class again!!
The most friendliest and approachable professor imaginable. Jay really shows he cares and you can tell he absolutely loves his job! His lectures are engaging and always a joy to listen to. The passion and positivity that emanates from him makes for a wonderful learning environment! Never a dull moment with this prof; would love to have Jay again!
Jay is literally the embodiment of what a professor should be. I love taking his classes and I hope he teaches next semester!
Possibly one of the best profs at Ryerson. Lectures are as entertaining as they are informative. Very useful class to take.
Enthusiastic and very approachable!
Jay is one of the most approachable, friendly, & passionate individuals I've ever met. He only wants the best for his students and truly cares about their well-being. He has the best sense of humour and makes his lectures and labs extremely engaging and lively. Jay has really felt more like a friend and that is a true sign of a genuine person.
Jay makes class easy to attend. Lectures are straight forward, organized and full of engaging content. Assignments are relevant and reasonable. I only hope going forward in my university career that I will have the honour of having him as a professor for future courses. #fireupthatchilipepper
TAKE HIS CLASS!! Not only were the projects really fun to do but the lectures are also easy to follow. He is one of the first professors I had and he's very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. He replies to his e-mail pretty fast. Very funny and forgiving. Without a doubt take his class. #fireupthatchilipepper
A great professor! Replies to questions through e-mail efficiently and is incredibly helpful. Really cares about how you succeed in the industry of the course which it is oriented to. Would 10/10 recommend you take his class, you won't regret it.
He's great
BEST TEACHER EVER ! ! !
He's just great!
Loved him!
Hands down, the most kind and caring professor I've ever encountered. It's clear he really wants his students to succeed and provides many opportunities to do so. You will not regret taking his class
Best prof at Ryerson for Graphic Communications. Him along with Trung. Has qualities that very few of the staff here have and that is his relatability and relevence to the students he teaches. Sucks that he teaches so little classes. Would love to have him for all my classes in second year and onwards.
He is one of the best profs in GCM! He made class so much fun and very enjoyable! If you have him as a prof, you'll definitely enjoy his class.
Favorite professor!
Very knowledgeable in this field because of his past experience in industry. He's funny in lectures and it makes class interesting. It's not a class you should skip because everything he says is IMPORTANT and RELEVANT. He's very helpful and caring towards his students' success that it's impossible to fail. Loved this class, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
JAY DADDY FOR THE WIN!! Such an amazing prof! If only I could have him for every class! Makes the lectures hilarious and enjoyable! Never wanted to miss a class because I didn't want to miss the jokes! His lectures were easy to understand and educational! Could talk to his as a friend rather than a prof! #Flameinchilipepper
He's hands down the best professor in GCM.
Emails you back so quick, makes jokes that are actually funny, makes your love what you're doing. If you know the content you pass the exam, which is exactly how it should be. Other profs need to take notes.
I get excited when I have Jay's lectures which I've never experienced before.
Jay is the best prof I have ever had.
Great Prof. Entertaining, knows what hes taking about, experienced in the field, provides great examples, very fair and organized. Lectures are fun to attend and teaches content well.
super sweet, funny guy. wish I could have him teach me every year tbh. luv u jay
Jay is honestly one of the best profs at RU, let alone GCM. His lectures are engaging, his personality is great, and he's really helpful whenever we're struggling with assignments/projects. 13.5/10 would recommend
Honestly the best prof I've ever had
Please teach more classes at Ryerson!! By far the most understanding prof Ive met. If you see his name on your timetable put your hands together and say thank you.
Amazing amazing amazing. He could make you love anything as long as he teaches it.
Thanks for making first year amazing! Never met anyone as hilarious, understanding, and nice as Jay!
Love you Jay
10/10 would recommend.
#FireUpThatChiliPepper Love him and everything/anything he teaches. You can tell he really cares about the students and what he's teaching. Ur doing amazing sweetie!!
#FireUpThatChiliPepper I don't often approach teachers, but he's so nice and approachable I'm not even afraid to. He's extremely helpful, caring, and his lectures are amazing, you wouldn't want to miss them.
Jay is literally the best educator I have ever encountered in my life. He knows many of his students on a first name basis, he is an extremely fair grader, his lectures are interesting and he cares about his students and helps them out in any way he can. I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to University and I am extremely grateful for J
#FireUpThatChiliPepper He's not a professor, he's a friend. He answers your emails in literally less than 3 minutes, memorizes all of his students names, and is so approachable. I wish I'll have more classes with him and my time at Ryerson because everything he teaches is genuinely interesting and applied outside of class as well.
I don't say this lightly when I say he is the greatest professor/teacher I have ever had! I already liked the content being covered in class but Jay made me like it even more. He is the most lovable human I have ever had and I am so bummed I can't take more classes taught by him. I really can not recommend him enough. (luh you Jay)
Amazing! Easy to understand, great feedback when needed, and is relatable.
Jay is a professor who you'll always remember. He is considerate, caring, and really funny. He always tries to make his lectures entertaining and memorable. He is very passionate and that spreads throughout lectures. The exams/tests for this course are straightforward and the assignments are enjoyable. If you have him as a prof, you're truly lucky!
Lectures are the funniest, replies to your email in a matter of minutes, presents information in a useful and entertaining manner. Could not have asked for a better professor. #Fireupthechilipepper
I love Jay so much. My absolute favourite prof. His classes are so structurally organized and he's sucha chill guy. He's very helpful as well and very relatable. He understands what it's like to be a uni kid because he's been in our seats before. Honestly cannot emphasize enough how awesome this guy is and I hope to have him again as a prof.
K so he doesnt post content online to force you to go to class, but honestly hes such a gem youre gonna want to go to every class. Hes incredibly patient and extremely understanding, and part of me what to find every class he teaches and take them all.
He is an amazing professor Im surprised he isnt valued more by Ryerson. His classes are so interesting and fun. I want to go to his class which doesnt happen with many courses. I am not in FCAD and I took this course because it was recommended to me by a friend. I am so happy I took this course I learnt a skill and was motivated to go to school.
Jay is the personification of the word teacher. He puts so much effort into his class, makes lectures and labs great and fun to attend, happily answers all questions, and addresses the students as equals. GCM 130 is such a fun (AND USEFUL) course. I couldn't recommend it enough. Jay's easily one of the biggest beauties at Ryerson.
I'm in my final semester and Jay is the best prof I've had in my undergrad career. I was reluctant to take GCM130 but I'm so glad I did. Jay's passion, enthusiasm, and sincerity towards graphic design is so infectious that I don't dread but look forward to the 9 am lectures. He goes beyond the call of duty as an instructor and I'm grateful for him!
Jay is by far the best prof I've had! His lectures are engaging and you learn a lot of useful content throughout the course. He is always available for help and answers emails quickly. The assignments are fair and a lot of fun too!
The most easy going Prof I've had, im not a GCM student and not familiar with graphic desin what so ever, Jay took the time to go step by step to give the instructions and is super easy to understand. Would take this class or have Jay as a professsor again in a heart beat. 10/10
Johathan Jay is the coolest professor ever I took this course base on feed back from pervious students and everything that they said was true He makes lectures fun and for a hands on course he's very patient and understanding The course is taught in a way that you're able to be creative and still learn the programs at a comfortable pace
Wonderful prof, lectures are enjoyable and material isn't too complicated. Jay makes you not hate class, but also makes sure you learn something! 10/10 would recommend!
First years, if you're looking at your schedule and you see his name, do not switch out. If you're thinking about switching into his class, by all means do so. I wasn't sure about the program when I first entered, but he made me want to stay and taught us the various roots you could take. He also would tell us about job offers in lectures!
Jay is one of the most inspirational and best professors I have ever had in my life. Definitely take his class, you won't regret it.
He's honestly the best. take his course for sure, he'll make your university life amazing.
Absolutely the best class for any first year GCM students. Jay teaches in a way where beginners can follow along with ease and veterans learn new and useful tips and tricks, without feeling like it is too easy. Jay brings fun projects that as a student you will actually want to complete and put forth your best effort! Overall great prof, and person
Jay rocks!! Would take this course 100000 times if I could. Assignments are relevant and helpful in the real world design context. If you're thinking of taking this class, even as an elective, TAKE IT!! You will not regret it. :)
Jay Wong is clearly the best prof at ryerson univerity. He is a fantastic human and an even better prof. Whoever raised him should be extremely proud. He motivates students and learns every name. I hope to take future classes that he teaches. A real 10/10 would recommend
Jay is by far the best Prof in GCM, he's super caring, and has a great humor. He makes sure that every class is enjoyable and fun, he is a super helpful and I respect him a lot, if you are taking GCM, make sure that you get Jay as one of your profs, he will not disappoint!!
Jay makes the class so much fun and we all love Jay. Jay is a really good listener and allow students to feel comfortable to speak up!
I was hesitant at first to take this class mainly because I'm not from GCM but I'm so glad I did. Jay is an incredible prof who is funny and actually cares about his students. One of those classes that is the true definition of learning and being able to apply it. #Fireupthechilipepper
Overall 10/10
Jay is hands down such a great prof. He's extremely relatable which made let me listen more and learn more. He also listens to students when we want more/less of something. PS, hey Jay's mom you raised a great man!
Jay is hands down the best prof I've had this semester. He's hilarious, relatable , and gives really good advice . Jay is an absolute sweetie and I really enjoyed his class I REALLY recommend taking this class if you're not in GCM. Also Ryerson you better let Jay teach again next year.
There's a reason why Jay is one of the top rated profs at Ryerson. He's helpful, engaging, and hilarious! He's pretty young (although he likes to age himself) so he understands his students way better than most at school. I genuinely wanna be friends with him! I've learned so much this semester and enjoyed every second of it, so shoutout to Jay! :)
I have so much respect for Jay! He's by far one of my favourite professors, his enthusiasm encourages me to attend class and have an interest in the course. He is so kind and funny! One of a kind!
Jay is one of the best teachers to have, especially as a design student. He loves what he does and he wants to show you how to be creative to the best of your abilities. Amazing experience. If you have the chance to experience a class with him, don't miss out on the opportunity!
I could go on forever about Jay. Honestly one of the best profs I've ever had. He graduated from Rye GCM so he understands the industry and what it's like to be a student. He shares personal experiences and truly cares about his students, going so far as to find job postings and help connect them with his network. THE WORLD NEEDS MORE JAYS!
Jay is the most helpful and caring prof I've ever had. He makes sure to learn everyone's names and goes above and beyond to make lectures enjoyable. Never missed even one of his classes. He's the kind of prof I'm going to remember forever.
Super fun prof, he's also quite young so he tries to make his lectures relatable and funny. He's chill with literally being friends with you as long as you still respect him as a prof! The course was also amazing and a lot of fun. He tries to make everything engaging with jokes!
I miss his class already lols. BEST PROF AT RYERSON. he is caring, communicates well with students and just a bomb ass teacher. TAKE HIS CLASSES IF U CAN!
J Wong is one of the reasons I'm deciding to stick with my major. His labs and lectures are solid and you feel like you learn something each time you go to class, and he reinforces learned skills with small relevant projects and some low-stakes quizzes for your own benefit. I loved Jay's classes and kicked myself the few times that i missed them
amazing prof, and really cares about his students and extends to after your class is finished as well (always there to help you) ! Great person and makes lectures really interesting!!
Jay is the funniest, most caring prof I've ever had. Definitely recommend GCM 130! You're missing out if you don't take it.
Such an amazing teacher. Super funny and cares so much about his students. I highly recommend taking GCM130 if you can!
Amazing prof! I would take his classes over and over again if I could! He's very engaging and humorous and he also does his best to connect better with his students. This one's truly a gem.
The best professor I've ever had. If you want a fun and actually know what's going on in class, he's the professor for you.
do not hesitate, just take his course!
MY FAVORITE PROF EVER!!!! TAKE HIS CLASS YOU WILL LOVE IT!
Jay was the highlight of my university career. I'm not kidding. His classes got me through my third year and I wish I could take more of the classes that he's teaching. I left his class with portfolio material and a better understanding of the career route I wanted to take. He's also super invested in your success, you don't be disappointed!
Very good prof. Gives great feedback, fun lectures, and cares about his students.
Jay Wong is one of my favourite GCM profs! Take his classes if you have a chance.
Jay is my favourite GCM prof!! He's hilarious, caring and easily approachable. He remembers his students' names too. All of his assignments are super fun and gives you lots of creative freedom. Hope to take another class with him in the future. LOVE YOU JAY
Honestly one of the best people at Ryerson. Seems like you could be friends if he wasn't your prof.
Jay is hands down the best professor I've ever had. He made this class so fun, informative, and enjoyable. Projects are easy to do well on and the course content is super useful and great for both beginners and experienced designers. Don't hesitate to take his class!
I had Jay for GCM130 during my first year online and he is a large part of the reason why I enjoyed the course so much. He is by far the most caring, engaging and relatable prof I've had, and you can tell that he really wants the best for his students. His delivery of course material is very engaging and not too complex.
JAY IS THE BEST PROF I HAD THIS YEAR! I am in my first year and I took GCM130 with him and his class was the only class I GENUINELY enjoyed. he is the most caring teacher/prof i've ever came across. the course can be a bit tough sometimes but he is VERY open for questions and replies within minutes! he even hung out with us over zoom all the time!
Jay is among the best profs I had so far at Ryerson. He's patient, good at explaining things, and so fun! I learned so many skills in this course. Taking this class an elective is one of the best things you can do for your mental health and your career in a pandemic.
I can easily say this is the best prof I've EVER had. the assignments were genuinely fun to do and the course workload did not even feel like work. 10/10
He is literally one of my favourite profs and is super down to earth. Is also open to giving constructive feedback and genuinely wants his students to pass and learn good things from the course. Definitely recommend taking his courses!!
Jay IS THE BEST PROF EVER! He is really good at what he does and is so nice and funny! You definitely need him to be your prof! He made online learning so much better and was very clear with projects and his lessons.
AMAZING. Out of my 3 years at Ryerson, he's my favourite prof EVER. Genuinely wants his students to succeed and is SUPER nice & caring. I didn't have any graphic design experience but want to get into this field & I finished with a great mark. Responds to emails so quickly, is always willing to help & provide his feedback so you can improve. 11/10.
Best prof, take his class
His dry humor is the best. No one seems to laugh except me. I got you bro. He teaches step by step so don't miss class. He really teaches you the basics and more to learn illustrator and I wouldn't have been able to pass my interior design year without this knowledge. Seriously recommend his classes for new designers.
I absolutely love this man. He one of the first profs i had for an online semester due to COVID19 and he made the experience great. He was very caring and the assignments we did, didnt even feel like assignment because it was that fun. If you have the chance to take him, you should!!
i absolutely love this man! jay was an amazing prof as well as a friend. he really cares about his students and he will put in the time to get to know every single one of us. he made my first year experience as smooth as it could be. i will forever encourage students to take him as a prof or 130 as a class! :)
Love him a lot! Emailing him almost about anything guarantees you such friendly and kind responses.
Jay is one of my favorite profs at GCM. It was a pleasure to attend his lecture. I learned lots of amazing skills from it. He cares about students and is always welcome to be reached through email.
He is the nicest man you'll ever meet. He is very funny as well
jay is an amazing prof! he's incredibly flexible and sets his students up for success. he always has very clear assignment instructions and grading criteria so you know exactly what to do. he's really accessible outside of class & made online learning so enjoyable because of how organized his class portal is. highly recommend!!!!!!!
Would not post illustrator tutorials(because people won't attend) even though some people in the class have accessibility issues.
One of the best professors I had at TMU. Very caring, interesting, funny, and interactive prof. Class is super easy but takes a lot of time to complete deliverables. This is a gold mine for GCM students. If your not interested or creative I would suggest avoiding this class from my experience
My favourite prof so far! Jay is very kind and hilarious too. He gives clear and straightforward lectures along with clear assignment outlines and fair grading. He's patient and is always willing to help you during and after labs. Not to mention that he's easily accessible through emails, which are always friendly. Definitely recommend him!!!
I would let Jay have custody over my firstborn child.
It's true what everyone says about him, he is a great professor. His lectures were interesting and the assignments were genuinely enjoyable to do.
He had a great personality but it does bot account for the level of difficulty this class came down to be. A very tough grader.
Professor Wong is engaging and makes the class enjoyable. The workload is manageable with clear instructions. unstuck AI was a lifesaver for staying organized and prepping for tests. Definitely recommend this class if you're interested in the subject matter.
The best GCM Prof
