Some reviews say that this class was very hard, but the class was not that bad. It was hard if you did not know anything about neuroscience or biology (like I did). The final and midterm had very fair questions. You had homework due every Friday that you had to get 5/10 to get full credit. VERY IMPORTANT: go to class he gives extra credit PERCENTAGES that were very easy to get. I was supposed to have a C+ but with the extra credit it boosted me to a B-. moral of the story: GO TO CLASS (even if its boring)

I really enjoyed taking this course and the topics covered were pretty interesting overall. This course is tough in the fact that it is a lot of information and definitions that will take a bit of effort and time to memorize. But I enjoyed this professors teaching style and he clearly knows about the information that he is teaching. This class did not have a discussion which made clearing up some questions a bit difficult but overall I enjoyed taking this class, even as a non-psychology major.

Professor Wong is a great professor! This class requires very minimum work, only a set of ten questions every week which you have a week to complete and can retake as many times as you want. The textbook is not necessary, if you study his lecture slides you will do fine on the midterm and final. Both midterm and final exam are worth the same, but it can all be found in his slides and the TA provided study guides which really helped (labeling the slide and lecture in which the answer could be found in). It's honestly a very interesting class and I recommend going to the lectures (even though he posts the slides beforehand) because you get a better sense of the material and he offers extra credit once before the midterm and once before the final but you have to be present in the lecture to get it. Professor Wong was engaging and you really feel like you learned something new, would definitely take this class again with him!

I took this as a life science GE and found it pretty doable to get an A. The class was super interesting and I enjoyed going to lectures. Professor Wong is very knowledgeable on the subject and very passionate about psychology! He does talk a little fast, but will gladly go over something he said if you ask a clarifying question. He lectures from slides which he posts online, so if you miss a lecture, or are studying for the midterm/final it is very easy to access everything that will be on the test. But, I went to every lecture because I thought Wong was engaging (and he gives random extra credits throughout the quarter so show up to get a 3% grade boost!!)
The midterm and final are taken right out of the slides, so there is no need to get the textbook (if something is in the textbook but not the slides, you aren't tested on it). Our TA, Ryan, made a really helpful study guide for the midterm and final, which helped condense what was needed to study. I found that by filling out the study guide and memorizing that, I was able to answer pretty much every question on the midterm and final. Keep in mind that the class is all memorization, so if you don't put in the time to memorize the slides, the tests will be harder.
The workload is super light, just doing an online quiz every week that you can retake as many times as you want and only need to get half right to get full credit. (Study these questions because I found a few to be on the midterm!)
Basically, take this class if you find the subject interesting, and you don't mind putting in some hours to memorize slides!

I really recommend this class. The curve is amazing! He only allows 10% of people to get either D's or F's and because of that I got a C! I would have done sooooo much better in the class if I tried harder so don't let my grade scare you off. The only thing is like 45% of your grade is the midterm and 45% is final. The final is NOT cumulative so only material from after the midterm is on the final. The other 10/15% of the grade is these weekly quizzes that you literally only need to get half right to pass so he's REALLY lenient. The midterm and final are both 50 multiple choice questions. The material is EASY is fairly tricky and there's no discussion so it's easy to fall behind without noticing, but with a little weekly studying you are guaranteed a passing grade.

Honestly this class was not hard. I am a cogsci major and I'm not hugely STEM oriented and this class isn't as hard as some of the other reviews I've seen on here. I would say just go through the lecture slides since that's the only thing you're responsible for and just use the textbook to clear up anything that the slides/lectures don't give you. He is a very fast talker and a lot of material is covered so I would honestly suggest to type notes and take screenshots of slides and incorportate it into ur notes. I would use my notes and read a bit and used a lot of short youtube anatomy videos to help reinforce the material and I was okay. Did not put in too much work and received an A+ with low A's on both the midterm and final. The tests were p straightforward with a couple of harder questions (i'd say maybe 5-8 really hard questions).

Wong is an amazing professor! His lectures are clear, very helpful in learning the material, and also pretty fun. The midterm was actually fairly difficult but the final made up for it and also he gave us some extra credit to make up for it. I took this class as a GE and would definitely recommend it.

This class is a bit misleading because even though it's a psych class, it's less about psych and more about bio. The work was easy, you don't need to read the book and the only other grades besides the midterm and the final are weekly quizzes that you can retake until you get an A.

During lecture he just reads off the slides which made going to them kinda pointless except for the times he gives out extra credit at the end of class. All of the info on the midterm and final are taken from the slides, so if you're good at memorizing a lot of stuff then you should be able to get an A.

Great professor! Really cares about the students and puts in effort to make sure everything is clear. Takes time to answer student questions and posts point breakdowns of the assignments which is really helpful as all you have to do is make sure you hit each of the sections!

Dr. Wong was seriously the most helpful out of all the professors that were teaching Psych 116 (Wong >> Ringach > Grisham >> Blair). He didn't have his own "module," but he was at every lab discussion, lecture, and office hours answering student questions (including the CCLE forum). He was never vague about answering my questions, and while other professors/TA's were somewhat withdrawn in helping students, Dr. Wong really does want to help the students who ask for it.

The actual course had 3-4% of extra credit opportunities. There were three modules all weighted equally and independently. All lab assignments were due at the end of the module for the most part. This class was kinda useless, not going to lie, and it was a lot of busy work! I did not like that the professors were not very organized with rubrics/grading as well. This was probably my least favorite psych course, but Dr. Wong is a great professor.
