It is a lot of material to learn as a GE class.

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.

Not a hottie, tbh. He is engaging enough, I always had trouble staying focused after 50 minutes because the class was 1:15, but most people don't seem to have that problem, especially if you're into the material. It is definitely more biology than it is psychology at all, so keep that in mind.

The class is composed of midterm and final (multiple choice both). He has weekly quizzes that have unlimited attempts so it's an easy way to make up 10% of the class. He does give out extra credit throughout the quarter but it's at random so you should go to every lecture. He posts the slides online but they do won't have videos or graphics so it might be hard to understand.

He cares for student learning but since there is no discussion at all it is very impersonal and hard to keep up.

No need to buy the textbook just memorize his slides. Our TA, Lauren Harris, made study guides for us so that's what we studied.

Disclaimer: I didn't find myself very interested by the material, so read this review knowing that.

Wong's a good lecturer, and he posts his slides on CCLE, and they're a good resource to study from. The study questions should be a free 15%, and if you show up to the lectures (which you really should), you'll get another easy 3% from extra credit. The book's pretty unnecessary, but it can be a good study resource. However, it's probably not worth the price. The T.A. also put up a pretty comprehensive study guide for the midterm and the final, but there is a lot of information that you need to know, and if you're not good at memorizing science terms, like me, they can be pretty tough. So, in my opinion, it's not an easy GE by any means, but if you're interested in the subject, I think it provides a good intro.

Although Wong talks fast and the powerpoint lectures can be insanely long, the material is extremely interesting. His midterm and final are both worth 45% of your grade (multiple choice) and the class is straight-scale, so there isn't a whole lot of room to wing it. However, he offers 3 extra credit opportunities throughout the quarter which can boost your final grade up to 3%. His exams are relatively straightforward. In addition to memorizing the powerpoint slides, make sure to write down the examples he says out loud for some of the definitions/concepts, because often those examples will appear on the exam almost verbatim. The exam questions focus more on scenarios/examples rather matching a definition with a concept. Overall the class is manageable and covers a lot of cool material.

Professor Wong is a very organized and clear lecturer. He does talk very fast to get through all the material, but this usually just means you need to write fast and get out of the 2 hour lecture early. Professor Wong makes it pretty fun and interesting. It's best to attend class, since he says some things not on the slides.

This class is pretty easy if you took AP Psych in high school, and it's pretty much just memorizing all of the material on the slides. The class is two (non-cumulative) multiple choice tests (50 each) that are each 45% of the grade, and another short research assignment. You can boost your grade if by 3% by doing the EC (super easy, but you need to be in lecture to get the paper you turn in for extra credit).

Overall, I found this to be an easy, enjoyable class, and would definitely recommend taking it if you find psychology interesting or want an easy class to take!

Definitely would recommend this course! Professor Wong is Awesome

I highly recommend this class with Prof. Wong. He's very nice and generous, especially giving out three extra credit points to your grade throughout the quarter. The first two are given random times during the quarter at the end of class so you have to be there to receive it. You get the third one if more than 80% of the class fills out the evaluations. Don't really have to go to lectures but they're amusing and you never know when he's going to give the bonus points. The book is not needed for the course. His tests aren't that hard; the TAs made a great study guide for us before the midterm and final that covered most of what we needed to know.

Psych 10 is definitely a workload. This class is straight scale so what you earn is what you earn. The midterm and final are worth 45% each, the research requirement is 10%, and he gave us 3 chances at earning extra credit which is a really great bonus. The book is ranged between 80-100+ bucks but truthfully speaking, you do not really need it. The key to passing this class is focusing on the power points in class and actually attending class. I made the mistake of focusing too much on the textbook for the midterm so that's why I ended up with such a low grade. Wong is an amazing professor, he is very enthusiastic and you will know when sitting down in class for almost 2 hours if psych is the right major for you. He is really funny and honestly just makes the class so much fun, I would recommend this class if you are good at keeping up with a fast pace class and are good at memorizing things easily.
