His lectures are very straight forward and he covers all of the content in class that is needed for tests. He is very friendly and likes to mark in favour of the student. Really enjoyable prof.

Easy A class. Showing up to lectures is definitely not necessary, but can be helpful as he gives some in-class exercises. I felt sorta bad for the guy because half the class was never there, and the ones who did show up didn't pay attention. I.E. if you show up and participate at all, you will stand out and he will like you. Super easy marker.

Easiest course of my life

Nelson is a hilarious professor who has great lectures and cares about his students. He will value any feedback you give him. This course is easy as long as you practice often and don't get caught offguard by the midterm. Assignments are very easy.

CPSC is not my major, I'm a huge dummy when it comes to coding. I like Nelson, he listens to students, he takes students opinions and makes changes and he goes way above and beyond to make sure students succeed. HIs exams are PAINFUL, assignments are easy/doable if you attend lecture and tutorial. BTW I'm failing badly & I still like the guy!!

Amazing guy, took a few courses with him. Really helpful, understanding, and a good marker. If you do your work, it can be an easy A.

He teaches the material well, but can be very picky when it comes to writing tests

Nelson's a good prof. His lectures are easy to understand and he communicates the material well. His quizzes are focused on practical material while his midterm and final are focused on theory. However, all his questions come straight out of his slides. Make sure you go to tutorials as they are very helpful in understanding this course.

His lectures are enjoyable, and he explains things well. Most of the material is on the slides, so you can get away with just studying them. The material is not too hard for this class, but you must put in the effort-especially for the midterm and final. There is significant amounts of memorization. Not the most organized prof.

Taken a couple classes with him and would highly recommend more. Knowledgeable about his material and gives reasonably easy assignments that keep you up to date with material. Can require presentations and group projects but normally these are easy grades. Tests are fair if you read the online notes and going to lecture will give you more exanples

Nelson says that he reads his rate my prof... Hi, Nelson! ) I enjoyed your class very much! Thanks for inspiring me to pursue me to Data Science. There exists a boolean logic book for babies that you should totally get for your new baby.

Dr. Wong's lecture style is engaging and entertaining. Taking his data science class was a fine choice as I got to work with a bunch of good students and conducted presentations together. This class is graded heavily upon group work. Furthermore, the lectures were interactive and fun for learning.

This is known as a GPA booster. Nelson gives great lectures. Heavy group/individual projects. Overall pretty good. He gets alot of flack on here but I think he does a good job and is a good person. Quick emails back and good office hours.

Nelson is a decent prof, and this is definitely a good choice as a Junior Science option. 2 individual assignments and 4 group projects, and 5 presentations in the lab for 80% of your grade.

Easiest class I've ever taken, but also really boring. He'll tell you you won't pass if you don't come to the lectures, but I literally only came to one lecture and I got an A. You do need to go to the tutorials though, because that's where all the work is done.

He breaks down concepts well, makes assignments look difficult but they are manageable and you get a lot of feedback on them so you know what to improve on.

Nelson is a great prof and seems like he loves what he teaches and is excited to share his knowledge of coding. Make sure to attend lectures as his lecture slides are unclear if used by themselves. You'll need to work hard in this class and make sure you get a partner for assignments!

Professor Wong is very good at explaining the basics of programming - which was much needed, If you're a beginner - get ready to practice, practice, practice. It is not an easy course to take if you have little or no experience, no matter what he says!

There's a lot of bitter people who didn't get good marks in this class because they didn't show up to lectures and lab. You will not pass if you don't go to both and pay attention. Nelson's lectures were super clear and the projects were on topic, but if you don't show up, the lecture slides alone won't help you at all. You need the explanation.

Given that the course was online due to Covid, Nelson did an amazing job. He was very enthusiastic and funny during lectures. Assignments were basic and could easily be completed if you attend labs. No midterm or final, we had a group project instead.

Good prof! Friendly, approachable, and accessible. That being said, the whole class was a bit vague. Assignments sometimes needed clarification and were also almost totally based on what was learned in labs rather than lectures. I always felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants? Still got aa A very easily tho.

Cares about his students, tries to make the material interest, simple lecture slides. The course itself is easy but your grade depends on how difficult your TA is. He took student feedback into consideration and allowed us to replace one of our grades. Should've related lectures to assignments more or scheduled them to fit the assignments.

The course is designed in such a way that the professor is not responsible in most of the grading, but the TA's are. As such, the grading may be dependent on the TA, even though the grading criteria is provided. That being said, Nelson did explain everything very clearly and made the course as interactive as possible in an online environment.

The class was weird in that his lectures didn't really cover a lot but still required. I personally had some previous knowledge in this area, which made the assignments relatively easy. The markings are done by the TAs that are very specific and takes marks off for the simplest reasons. Overall, a good prof, just get a good group and a good TA

I occasionally went to lectures but it's not necessary. The grades come from the stuff you learn in the labs. Easy A. Would take again.

I have little to no interest in data, math, or computer science, but somehow I got through this class successfully and even had a little bit of fun. Everything you need to know is taught in class, so as long as you take clear notes you'll be fine! Wong is approachable, friendly, and all-around a solid prof. I learned a lot, and my grades were good!

I have no idea why Prof. Wong has such low ratings. His DATA201 class has to be the easiest class of all time; I put in 0 effort and did fantastic. He is also very enthusiastic about what he teaches, and it shows. He is a great prof and teaches the easiest A class ever. I would highly recommend it.

This is the easiest class I have ever taken. I skipped most of the lectures because the notes were posted on D2L but when I did attend the lectures, Nelson was very engaging and gave out "reward points" for answering TopHat questions correctly. The labs are really helpful if you ever have questions regarding assignments

Professor Wong is very upbeat, he tells a few jokes but keeps the lecture on track. The notes were posted to D2L but going to the lectures is highly beneficial as Wong will give additional detail about everything, it was extremely informative, and entertaining. He engages with the class very well, I highly recommend him.

Ngl this was my favorite class was so simple you have 4 assignments and 1 project and the lectures are so fun cause once in a while he comes up with occasional jokes would defiantly recommend it to anyone looking for extra credit just make sure you take the class with Wong

He is really great. His classes were engaging and funny. Plus, he gives out reward points for answering in-class questions. After a while, you realize that you don't really need to go to class for this course as everything that is to be graded on is taught during the labs and the TA's are very helpful. Submit your work early for extra points.

Professor Wong is super caring, helpful, and funny. He is very accessible outside of class, and answers emails almost immediately. He also give out reward points that can go toward increasing your grade or resubmitting assignments. The assignments themselves were very practical and easy to understand.

He is a great professor and I do not really understand why people don't like him. He does his best to ask for feedback from students and makes sure there is feedback for assignments. The assignments were a little bit confusing sometimes but he made the course very unstressful and easy to be successful. I would take him again.

Great class, if you know some data content slides are good enough (and tutorials). TA's really helpful for assignments, group project and assignment easy but tedious.

Lots of opportunities for bonus marks. Straight forward course. Nice guy and doesn't grade too harshly. Assignments are very tedious though.

This is probably the easiest class I have taken since grade 7. A third grader could get an A in this class with minimal effort.

Nelson is super caring and kind. This class is very easy, but it's worth it as the skills look great on a resume and will definitely be helpful in the professional world. The assignments are straightforward, but require more time and effort than they appear to. There are also offers numerous chances for bonus points.

Very engaging and effective lecturer. I really enjoyed the class. The assignments take way more time than you think the will, start early! The clarity of the assignment instructions and grading criteria could use some work. The TA's are inconsistent in the way the grade assignments. The lab instruction from the TA's was sub par at best.

This class has the odd reputation as a GPA booster. However, this is not an easy class. It takes time, effort, and careful attention to detail to get an A. Many thought it was going to be an easy light workload, and didn't get an A. Assignments take 10+ hours to do well and there are 5 of them. Lots of work, but an A is possible with a good effort.

Easy class. Put effort into the assignments and complete the extra credit questions. You can resubmit if you make a mistake on one of the four assignments. The grading rubric is quite clear. It may seem easy, but always start your assignments asap, it takes time if you want to get an A!

Even though I remember last year there was one annoying assigment but overall an easy A booster to take just show up to your groupwork sessions and finally he marked the presentation pretty nicely so recommended to take Data201 overall.

Nelson is super caring, helpful, and funny. He will answer emails almost immediately and is very accommodating for this class since it's a Pass/Fail course. Would highly recommend this class as it is fairly easy as long as you are comfortable with public speaking/presenting and Nelson makes it an enjoyable experience.

398 was easily one of the most applicable and useful courses under CPSC, since most Comp-Sci majors have no clue how to present. The class had a really good energy and his feedback was great. Everyone in the class had noticeably improved at both presenting and giving feedback, and he was more than fair about expectations and requirements.
