Professor Wong is really kind-hearted, but many times, I feel like his lecture lacks clarity, but most of the students don't seem to care to ask for clarification so everyone's content. Sometimes, I do question the validity of some of the things he says just because I have taken many biology related courses and the information conflicts.

Took biology and anatomy from Mr Wong, and now taking his Micro. Always serious about his teaching, and I learn so much from him. I heard he will teach human biology, and I will take it too. He is knowledgeable and knows how to break down the material. The tests are not too bad if you study. He talks with students after class and is very caring

I just finished the class this summer. Mr. Wong broke down the material and made it easier for us to learn. Just come to class, take notes, and study his syllabus. His tests are reasonable but you have to study. He covered enough details for the prenursing students, but not too much that the nonmajors are scared away. Highly recommended.

Micro 1 is the hardest class I ever took but it was worth it! Prof Wong is very organized and helps us to break down each chapter. He always tells us the study skill we use in this class will work in the nursing program later, and I think he is right. Lots of my friends took his class and did well in nursing. Long lectures and long exams though

Micro 1 is not easy but Mr Wong is so organized, the material becomes easier to learn. Pay attention in class, take notes, and do the practice exams, you can pass this class too. The class is 5 units, so if I decide to get my BSN or MSN degree later, I will have enough units. Great professor, highly recommended

Gives out quizzes almost every week. They were pretty straight forward: really memorize/study the worksheets, write down your notes well. The notes and the handouts are basically the same things except that the notes he writes on the board are explained in detail. Ask him questions if any Complete every extra credit opportunity when its offered

Love professor Wong took in the spring when classes moved online due to covid. He kept us informed the whole way. Once the class was converted it was the same format the only thing missing was his voice. He provided the information and we used our manual dont need text book. Will be taking him for other classes he really cares about his students

Prof. Wong is one of the best at trade-tech! The lectures are very detailed and easy to follow. Given, studying is a must for this class. He wants all his students to learn the material and pass. Labs are fairly easy and so are the quizzes. 4 exams including the final and labs. He is very understanding given that we are in a pandemic. Take him!!

Professor Wong is an amazing Biology instructor. Clear lecture and lab instructions. All exams are based on the posts. Weekly discussion is optional. However, he suggests you to participate if you can. Professor Wong also grades your work and gives feedback instantly. I am looking forward to learning from him again in Spring for Microbiology.

He's great, lectures are written under modules and are well organized. If you're gonna prepare for a test, study all the lectures under the special module. I suggest watching youtube videos afterward if you're still having trouble understanding them on your own. Study lots! You can always ask him for help. He responds within a day. Extra credit.

Took him Fall 2020 and i seriously couldn't have asked for a better Microbiology professor! He gives good advice and if you're struggling he will take his time to help you! The only reason i got a C is because i didnt do so well on the exams, but with his help i ended up passing.

If you need to take Micro, take it with Professor Wong. It's an easy A but you have to try. He organizes the class with these amazing organized lectures. Test come straight from lecture, you won't need the book. Although the test are not proctored he does not allow a lot of time. Know your information and you can pass. He is literally the best!!!!!

Professor Wong is one of the best science teachers at LATTC! His class consists of 23 lectures (divided into 4 lecture exams), 19 labs (divided into 2 lab quizzes) and the final is NOT cumulative. His class is incredibly organized, the lectures and labs are easy to follow and understand. The max you do as a student is read, study and repeat.

I was lucky to be in his Micro 20 class last fall. I heard he is no longer teaching there. The class was online but he posted all lectures and labs on Canvas, everything was clear. Exams were not easy but the questions were from the material he posted, no trick questions. Very approachable if you have questions or problems. Best professor ever!

No need to buy textbooks because the professor provides you all the material in his own lecture format which were easy to follow. You have a chapter and a corresponding lab every week. Study the material because it is what is asked on the exams. Has optional weekly discussions which I recommend so you can understand what you may need to study more.

Prof Wong is no longer teaching at TradeTech, but I found him in Southwest College. I'm taking Micro 001 with him. He has wonderful lecture notes posted on Canvas and answers all questions promptly. His exams are fair, no tricky questions. Recommend him to anyone going onto nursing or transferring. Very respectful and caring to students.
