If you decide to take Wong, be extremely cautious during the midterm. The midterm is worth 45 percent of the grade, meaning that if you score an 88, you would need need to score a 92 (46/50) on the final. Make sure to attend lecture, he sometimes tests material that are not written on the slides and additionally, the slides do not contain the full notes. Some of the slides are cut off, so going to lecture will allow you add the missing information. Also, he sometimes throws in some questions from the videos he shows during class, so go to lecture. Finally, the textbook is completely pointless. Not a single piece of information is tested from the textbook so don't even bother purchasing/reading it. Overall, I ended up getting an A but I heard Abramson is a better choice for Psych 10 in the Fall since he apparently gives out 50 percent As.

Even thought the midterm and final are worth 90% of your grade, the tests are extremely straightforward if you know the material which he conveniently puts onto the powerpoints. Readings are not necessary. The final had some questions where you had to choose the "more correct" answer, which i thought could be tricky, but if you studied, it is actually extremely obvious. He gives 3 extra credit opportunities (2 assigned in class and one if a certain percentage of the class fills out the evals) which raise your grade by 3%. I hardly ever went to class. some of the blanks he leaves on the powerpoint can be found online.

Take him!! the class is a good GPA booster and really helps you decide if you're actually interested in psychology/psychobio.

Professor Wong was a pretty average Psych 10 professor. His material was straightforward, you just have to put in the time and effort to memorize it. It's a lot of materials and the lectures were long.

The class itself was a fairly easy class, but the tests were relatively hard. It was 50 multiple choice questions for each test. Just study and keep up on the readings and you should do perfectly fine!

The professor is great, but he has a little Singapore accent, which does not matter a lot. He will present class materials with a well-designed slides every lecture, and he will post the slides online a day in advance, so you can print it out and take notes on it, during classes. It is a good class in general, there are three parts of the grade, research participation/ summary writing, a midterm and a final. Midterms and finals are all composed of 50 multiple choices, and making up of 45% of the total grades, so you had better prepare for the midterm carefully.

Wong goes very very very fast. Just be prepared to sit there for two hours and listen to him go on and on about psych, because this class is straight up memorization. You're only graded on your midterm and final, which are both multiple choice and there is no curve. Please try to study/take good notes because it does add up. We cover at least 90 slides per day so be prepared.

tl;dr: It felt like high school all over again.

PSA: Moore 100 is freezing, so remember to wear layers.

he is a hottie as mentioned before, as long as you keep up, know what is going on, review the slides, you'll be fine. Make sure to ask questions if you don't understand something. He is entertaining. I slacked off, didn't put any effort and I got a D+ woops

He is a hottie and a great lecturer. He goes off his powerpoint slides but you get all 10 weeks ahead of time so you can download and print them. Everything is memorization based but he is responsive of the class and really wants you to understand the concepts before moving on.
