Because I put a lot of work into the class, I am selling my media files of the in-class lab tours (including last year's practical), flashcards on Anki (made from these tours in lab, lecture material, online media), and comprehensive study guide for $20 in a package. This was a great benefit to my own studying and took me many hours to create/compile. Fair warning: what is on the lab practical probably varies from year to year, but there's only so much neuroanatomy to test on. If you are interested, please email me at *************
Class is divided into 3 modules worth 33% of your grade each: western immunoblotting with planarian samples, behavioral experiments with planarians (these two modules focus on the same research question—effect of caffeine on planarian habituation), and neuroanatomy + practical. For me, neuroanatomy was the toughest with the sheer amount of information we had to memorize (identifying brain structures, what pathways they are in, what functions they are responsible for etc.) assessed during a lab practical. For western immuno and behavioral modules, the assessments were lab reports which took a long time (10+ pg full manuscript-style reports with intro, methods, results, discussion) but were graded fairly leniently (I got high As on both). Specific to Wong, he is a hard working and nice professor—write down everything he says and study it for an A+
The class was fairly straightforward, although the amount of work was pretty brutal. It's a basic memorization class, and did not really require students to apply concepts to novel situations. If I remember correctly, Prof. Wong gives 3 points of extra credit, and 10% of the final grade is free, so there is no reason not to get an A in the class. The grade breakdown:
Midterm - 45%
Final - 45%
SONA Participation - 10% (you just have to sign up and attend, and you get 10% of the grade!)
All in all, he's a good professor, not great. I think the class is worth taking. Study the lecture slides over and over, because he only tests material from those slides. I am selling the leaf loose version of the textbook 11th edition for the cheapest price you'll find ($55 and negotiable)! Email me at ************* :)
Overall, this was a great class. The professors teaching is very clear, and straightforward and he manages to keep the class engaged. He is also very understanding and reasonable when it comes to student's work load and exams. Studying is obviously a MUST if you want to pass with the best grade possible. Also, as others mentioned he uploads his lecture slides online which is a plus.
I'm currently selling a loose leaf version of the class text book for $75 . If interested, please text at

Interesting and engaging. All lecture slides are posted beforehand which is helpful since he can talk pretty fast. Midterm and final make up a big part but its only 50 multiple choice questions that are pretty easy as long as you paid attention in class. Would definitely recommend
I loved this class! The most difficult module was with Dr. Wong; we were tested on parts of the brain and given a lab practical to test our knowledge of associated systems, functions, etc. I studied a lot for this module and made Anki cards, created a Goodnotes notebook with all the notes from class + extremely detailed pictures/labels from the past year's lab practical + study guides that my friends and I created. Since I put in so much work into the Anki deck and notes, I was able to score a high grade on the exam and ended with an A in the class. I'm selling this bundle for $20. Text me if you're interested @ 925*856*7077!
He is funny and reasonably interesting. I stopped taking notes and just went over the powerpoints later. Don't be fooled by the fact that the tests are multiple choice. You have to know the material pretty well. I did not study at all for the midterm and was very hungover (big mistake!) and got a 66. But with a little studying (and a little less drinking) I got a 96 on the final and managed get a B.
Professor Wong is a really great professor for introduction to psychology. He doesn't just tell you about studies and spews data but he shows videos and tells great stories to give you a real image of different disorders and conditions.
Definitely study lecture slides for the exams, some of the questions are really obscure but not an impossible class.
