He is a kind of teacher you'd like to meet at least once in your life time. He is a very caring, thoughtful, and intelligent professor that you will never be sorry that you took his class. It's not easy to get an "A" but you will if you're serio
Best professor at Trade-Tech. Not an easy course but you learn a lot if you apply yourself.
He inspired me so much. I love Mr. Wong man! I won't deny this class is a load. He is very helpful on how to keep up and what to expect. I also think he gave me a better grade than I deserved, he really saw my effort input. Best biology teacher ever!
I love Mr. Wong's energy, compassion and level of expertise. He is all about the students. He even condensed the one hundred "something" dollar text book down to a outlined syllabus that only costs about $25 and dedicated it to his students! I
Excellent instructor! Is knowledgeble about the subject, cares about students, always available, extremely clear. Course is super demanding, but Mr. Wong has charisma, a sense of humor and patience. Enroll now! Travel to get his courses, the mileage will be a minor task compared to what you lear
Very nice and helpful teacher. His lectures are so simple that even an elementary student will understand. I hope every teacher was like him, I would highly recommend him.
Professor Wong was one of the best professors I ever took in college. He has a lot of knowledge on the subject and he really cares about his students. I would take the class over again if I could!
Students, Mr. Wong is all about high-quality learning, so you really have to put all your very best into this course. The course is very intense and fast-paced. Every other week you're either taking a lab quiz or a lecture test...you get no breaks. He doesn't drop anything, either. Other than that, Mr. Wong is an excellent teacher. I Love him!
PROF. WONG IS A VERY INTELLIGENT AND EXCELLENT IN PREPARING THE MATERIALS TO TEACH THE STUDENTS. HE IS SO WELL ORGANIZED IN HIS LECTURE AND YET, VERY CARING FOR HIS STUDENTS. A LOT TO LEARN FROM HIS CLASS AND HIS PERSONALITY.
I LOVE him. He truly cares about his students. He knows how hard his class is and understands you if you have any problems. He is always available for his students. Highly recommended. I'll admit this class is a challenge, but you'll feel good after you finish and realize everything you learned.
Professor Wong was one of the best professors I ever took in college. He make class interesting, i was afraid I was going to Fail Bio cuz every single of my friends failed Bio, But Mr. Wong its interesting that its so weird that i've loved Biology.
Best teacher i ever had!! take him !!!
This professor keeps your attention throughout the lecture...he gives you his lecture notes so all you need to do is watch him draw diagrams and flow charts that are really helpful...his exam questions are very clear...you either know it or you don't..no trick questions..a lot of information but this professor keeps it very structured and organized
the BEST ever. very well organized and sincerely cares for students and their learning experience. covers a lot of material - so pace yourself and dont get behind. Never missed a lecture and truly loved every minute of it.
I don't know what other students are saying, maybe Prof Wong was better but now he is to hard and his test are now changed, I took him and strugled a lot, he is not the same... do not take with him you will be sorry
The previous comment was probably from an "F" student. The truth is, you will struggle if you don't study, no matter how good the instructor is. Mr. Wong is the best prof I came across in college. He motivates and helps students who are serious.
Prof Wong is the most caring instructor. He doesn't waste any time...his lectures are 3 hours of solid info, and the labs are useful hands-on experience. The class is hard no matter where you take it, but Mr. Wong makes it interesting and worthwhile.
IF YOU ARE REALLY READY FOR THE STUDY OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HUMAN BODY, THEN DR. WONG IS A SURE BET. YOU MUST REALLY BE READY FOR BUSINESS. HE KNOWS THE COURSE AND IS READY TO IMPART WHAT HE KNOWS INTO STUDENTS. HE BELIEVES IN HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION, SO YOU'VE REALLY GOT TO BE READY BEFORE ENROLLING IN HIS CLASS.THE COURSE IS TIDIOUS BEC
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.
he is a great techer! Take him if your ready to study and i mean it at least 3 hours a day!
Professor Wong is the BESY Professor I have ever had, and I have taken many. To take his class you need to be sure you're ready to study, study, study. It isn't easy, but it is possible. I am really grateful for what I have learned. Maturity is what is needed for this class. MATURITY!!
Excellent professor. His lectures are explained very well. Exams are tricky, but if you study you can pass his class.
Professor Wong takes time to illustrate mechanisms and organ systems with color-coded drawings which I found very helpful. I only used the textbook a few times. You need to memorize his lecture syllabus--exams are based on it. I felt he explained the information well and was patient with our questions. No dissections in his Bio 20. Study everyday!!
Micro has become one of my favorite subjects thx to Prof. Wong; he's even better than most of the science professors I have taken at the University, so that's saying a lot! I didn't use the textbook & mainly used his course workbook which outlines everything about the course. Attend class, work hard & you'll get an 'A'. Most highly recommend!!!
I'm currently taking introductory Bio w/ Prof. Wong and I must say he is truly one of the best instructors I've ever had. He is a brilliant man who knows how to impart his knowledge to his students. I had no interest in Bio prior to his class and so far I'm loving it. His lab quizzes and exams are moderately easy if you study the course syllabus
great teacher always answers questions
I recomend taking this instructor. Textbook is not needed. you MUST STUDY SYLLABUS AND CLASS NOTES to a earn high a grade. Lab quizes and Lecture exams are directly from notes. He will keep you updated on ur class progress. I took this class over the summer and I earned an A.
DO NOT BUY BOOK!! Required to buy his $20 notebook, which he sells 1st day of class. All is 5test, 1quiz, 1lab final, & final are all in there. Extremely cool dude, easy to talk with 17 yrs teaching @ LATTC. Easy to understand Micro Bio but need to reivew his syllabus notes in detail. All multiple choice & no essays. Good luck!
Professor Wong is Awesome! You don't need the book, the notes are crystal clear as well as the drawings. and labs are fun, he is a good professor I enjoyed this class. Thanks professor wong!
Tough, tough, tough teacher, but there could not be another teacher who teaches better than him. His lectures are clear, his lecture and lab syllabus is all you need, and he teaches you effective ways of studying. ASK questions he will be more than happy to help,He is very patient. If you study and dedicate your time you will do fine!
Outstanding instructor. A lot of material to regurgitate, but you can get an "A" or "B" if you study.
GREAT teacher no one better, hard tests though you have to put in all efforts to really learn but he is defenitely the guy to teach his subject.
Awesome teacher, very clear and helpful in everything, explains things wonderfully.. best biology teacher ever..
Wong simplified A/P and taloried it towards nursing. Very tough subject. 4Lec test, 5lab test, lab/lec final. no extra credit. no book to buy, but sells lecture/lab notes for 20ea. 112 students enrolled, half the class dropped. be on top of your game, drink lots of coffee. wong's last year teaching, try adding him in fall. form study groups
I took his class fall 1995. I kept my notes from his class for reference when I was in nursing school. I love him. I have not seen him in 15 years. I bet he's still hot :)
Great professor. Clear, interesting, fair. Listen, write notes, study. Don't need textbook. He has own lecture packet.
No words that able to discribe him, except "The Best." no book use, just syllabus. lot of extra credit that able to change your grade. bottom line if your worried about your grade? he is the answer for your problem
No words that able to discribe him, except "The Best." his not teaching "BIO 20" anymore but you still can have him for Micro. No textbook use,just syllabus. crystal clear lecture, very recomment for esl student. and lot of extra credit that able to change your grade from B to A. bottom line, he is the key to your success.
DR. Wong is a excellent teacher he teaches soooo much information if you are new to these science classes the experience will be overwhelming. Everybody need to stop playing that class was a lot... it was no longer a class it became a JOB! good professor is a MASTER @ what he does!
Finest teacher I've ever had, truly a joy for the sincere student. The classes aren't easy but he's totally committed to his subject, with a striking degree of a humble sort of kindness. Worth his weight in gold. If only others could be half as dedicated.
He is very nice, and very helpful. I really enjoyed his class.
I took bio 20 and microbio20 with Dr. Wong and I must say he was the best teacher I've ever had. He is very detailed and clear. Don't get me wrong, his classes are not easy but he is the definition of a good teacher and I highly recommend him. This is my first time commenting for any teacher or class so you know he's that good!!
Prof. Wong is absolutely amazing, both as an instructor and as a caring person who actually wants to see you succeed and is always available before/after class every day. MC tests, no textbook, all you need is his own "syllabus" which included all the labs, and the lectures. He is my new favorite professor and deserves an award, he truly does.
Awesome teacher. Took him for microbiology and he is the best science teacher I have ever had. Wish he taught anatomy and physio because I would have learned so much from him. Hands down the best prof at lattc.
Hands down Prof Wong is an amazing teacher. Read take down notes do assignments and you will do fine! DO NOT buy the text book Pro Wong has his own which will help you save money
Bring your color pencils there required.
I love his teaching style. He explains everything step by step, with color drawings on the board, which helped me learn and remember the material much better!! BUY COLORED PENSPENCILS. IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. Easy class to pass, just make sure to show up and write down all his notes. No need to buy the book, he has written his own!!
I took Mr. Wong last semester (spring). His class was amazing. Alot of note taking and very clear. I look forward to taking biology 6 and 7 with him soon.
I took 2 class: anatomy and Mic with him and I got A at both. Good thing:it is rather easy class, if u read it is very easy to get A,he giveslots of extra credit especially at mic ( around 200credit) ,he is very nice man and I extrongly recommend him. bad thing:at anatomy lab he did not teach us any thing and you should learn by yourself.
Such a sweet man and a clear instructor if you can get past his accent. The notes he writes are clear and straight to the point. Copy notes, look over them, and you will pass the tests. Just a few simple HW assignments. Only buy his lecturelab book. Didn't think I'd pull off an A in a summer course! Let alone a 6 hour one!
I am in love with Mr. Wong teaching style! He's amazing. His lectures are very clear and he draws beautiful drawings for your notes. He's very sweet and will help you in anyway he can. You don't need to buy a book just buy the syllabus he makes and study off that and refer back to your notes (drawings) because all his exams are based on that only!
Took him for micro 20. Draws on the board a lot, gives decent amount of extra credit not too crazy. Test are hard but is not his fault the subject is not easy. Dont have to buy the book he makes his own syllabus and tests come right out of the syllabus. Overall GREAT teacher
Very simple as long as you pay attention and study his outline you will pass. It does get tough but he will help you if you ask plus he gives extra credit
Wow this professor is amazing!! If U don't missed class U will get the grade U want. But U need to study, his test is from the lecture he gave.
Great professor! He's knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about his job. Be prepared to take lots of notes. Bring your coloring pencils. Trust me. Final is not commulative. Drops lowest exam score. Gives extra credit! Total 8 exams. 4 lecture exams, 4 lab quizzes & 2 were practical.
I hated bio and failed if twice before at another campus. I took this over the summer and passed with a B. He will explain. He only test on what he teaches. Show up have your color pens and pencils. Write and study everything he writes on the board and you will pass. HES AMAZING
Clear & concise with assignment, lectures, labs, quizzes & exams. On time with grading. All lectures are done on the board, written & drawn. Visually informative & great for a visual learners. Prof. is very knowledgeable in is field. Classes are fun & goes by fast. No need for text book but does use a syllabus/book that is a summary of info used.
Study your note and syllabus and you'll do great in his class.
The best biology professor I have ever had!! I disliked biology in HS, but after taking his course, I have fallen in love with the subject. He is great at explain and his drawing are fantastic! His lectures are unforgettable. I am now taking an upper level biology and use his lectures notes as an aid. If I go retake the class, I would!
Take him! One of the best professors I have ever taken. His lectures are easy to understand, his attitude towards students is amazing. If you have any questions he will answer. Definitely recommend him, if you study you should pass with an A. His tests are also very solid and from his notes he even helps by providing his study guide with answers.
This professor is by far the best science teacher you could have. His tests are based on the lectures and his notes which are printed. He is always consistent with grading and will answer any questions you may have about the lab, homework or class assignments. He offers extra credit and drops your lowest test score. You will definitely learn a lot!
I have a Human Biology degree from UC San Diego, and now taking his Micro class to prep me for MCAT. His lectures are amazing, covering all important material for premed & prenursing students. He is way better than any science prof at UC! I really admire his dedication to teaching! Take him, you wont regret it.
Lots of visuals
Take him to go not regret it trust me
Hardest class due to he would give you hardest exams. He does not focus on concept. Don't take his class. I have never felt so insulted with the exams like he gave out. Attended every class, read all his "notes" which was for sale in bookstore. Still would not get an A. I don't know what the problem is. The exam is super hard with pettiness.
Mr. Wong's Micro class at night is amazing! Most students work during the day and come to this class, but everyone shows up on time and eager to learn. He follows his syllabus, very organized, and explains everything in detail. Micro is a hard subject, so students shouldn't expect any easy A. If you take notes, study hard, and try to focus,
I tried taking this class before with other instructors, but I ended up dropping. Mr. Wong makes this class fun to learn, and all his test questions come from his syllabus. If you take notes and do some studying, there is no way you will fail the class. It is not an easy A, but it's not hard either if you apply yourself.
It seems like he is nice to the students who seldom attend the class. Exams questions are not covered in his lecture. Sign in is a joke if anyone can just check it next time. Exams are hard and up to 100 questions all multiple choices. Materials aren't hard but he only wants to focus on memorization but not the concept or science behind.
Micro is a hard subject but mr Wong breaks it down. You need to be serious in his class if you want to do well. A lot of nurses in my hospital are former students of mr Wong and they recommend him to me. Im glad I took their advice, this class is hard but Im learning so much
I took this class for graduation and transfer. It was not too hard because I took notes and followed his syllabus. Test questions are from the syllabus. It's not really easy A, but if you go to class and pay attention, there is no way you can fail. He gives extra credit too. Some other students in the class were nursing majors
Professor Wong is a great instructor! I recommend him to anyone who has to take Micro. His exams are not easy but, very straightforward. I did not get the grade I wished for but that was because I took Physiol. with this course which was hard for me. Nonetheles, professor Wong is very approachable and really intends his students to pass take him
Professor Wong is the best science teacher at Trade Tech. I took him for Biology and Microbiology and I don't regret it! His class is not easy, but if you study his syllabus and his study guide, you will pass! He is full of knowledge and is very understanding towards his students. I learned a lot in his class and am very grateful for what he taught
Very easy class! Go to class, take good notes & study for tests. Tests are not hard but you do have to study.
There were several exams and final. He would be approachable but the exams are very detailed. You have to memorize the handout. Extra credits available and lab report will be helpful. Part of the problem is that there are many collaborate lab work and some students weren't helpful.
He is a good teacher, not a fan of how quick he goes from us taking a test to taking a quiz, wish it was more of a space in that area. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT HE GIVES & take notes!!! I thought I was going to fail because I don't do well on quizzes and test, I kept getting a D and low C but I did all the assignments and extra credit and passed (whew)
You wont need a textbook for this class. You used the lab manual he wrote which is sold at the bookstore for around $26. Be ready to memorize the manual. Test questions come from the lectures and the manual. Not easy! He words his questions in a tricky manner. Lots of matching. Does give extra credit
Taking Micro in the evening is not easy after a long day of work, but Prof Wong makes the class interesting and doable. His syllabus breaks down the material and he adds important info on the board. The subject is not easy but if you take notes and study, you will get at least a B because he offers extra credit too. The exams are reasonable.
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 absolutely recommend Mr. Wong. His lectures are clear and informational accompanied by the manual. He provides sample exams. He explains thoroughly with flow charts. He answers questions in class. He gives extra credit opportunities. He makes sure his students have a the material needed to lab and lecture exams. He is very well respected.
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.
He is very organized and lecture notes are helpful for all the exams. Text book isn't required.
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
Prof Wong is a great and very knowledgeable about the work. He is very clear on the course and his class is very easy to pass.
Awesome!! explains in color, answers questions, draws pictures, soft spoken. only asked us to buy his book like $25, practice exams available for EVERY exam like 6 total & very similar. I learned alot and his labs are straightforward, he maps it out for you step by step! make sure to study, not the easiest A to get but not impossible for sure!
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
general microbiology class. He is a great professor he always answers question his lectures are heavy, you will learn a lot if you study. Tests are 100% based on lecture and book he asks you to purchase. Study the lecture and all terms in each chapter and you will pass tests. You wont just pass by showing just showing up. you will need to study!
Professor Wong is by far the best professor I have ever taken! During the unprecedented times of the pandemic, he held a well-organized class. He was very caring and truly wants you to do well. Additionally provides feedback and is very responsive. I absolutely loved his class! I would recommend anyone to take it!
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!!
The greatest teacher Ive ever had. Grants extensions cause he understands life happens. His PowerPoints, his lecture material is very clear. The material he gives is exactly what you see on exams. He does review with the class consistently and specially whats on the exam. Highly recommend and would definitely take again.
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.
Dont take his class, the grading system is unorganized, he doesnt show the results of exams, so I am not sure of my grades. The exams are out of the lectures.
Ricky Wong is the best Professor ever, his lectures are clear and easy to understand. Be ready to read and study and you're done. Lab assignments are helpful, watching the videos are important.
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.
This professor was a gem. I had him during the pandemic literally when we stopped everything. He really cares about students and their success. He provides great lectures. Don't be afraid by the work! 10/10 would recommend.
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.
