Winter 2019 - Tong is the clearest and best organized professor I've ever seen as an analysis professor. He's very helpful and patient. He's homework is also decent and contains really thought-provoking problems. He's tests are somehow tough, but with clear understanding it's completely doable. Highly recommended.

Fall 2020 - Not the hardest class I've taken, but not easy either. I thought the professor explained things really well, and was happy to answer any questions. There was weekly homework taking 4+ hours with varying difficulty from pretty easy to brain-numbing but it is a upper-division math course so that is to be expected. I'm glad the professor didn't make the midterms and finals unnecessarily long during the pandemic. The midterms took about 2~3 hours. The final was a little longer at around 6 hours, but still not terrible. Overall I would take the course with this professor again.

Fall 2019 - If you're conflicted about who to take for this class, definitely take Tong. I didn't realize how great he was until I started taking 151B with someone else. I wish I could have him again. Tong likes to review the previous class for the first 10 minutes of lecture, which makes new material a bit fast paced, but is helpful if you missed a class or tend to show up 5 minutes late. I got pretty wrecked by the first midterm because i studied a lot of the theory and didn't work on practice problems enough. His tests are very computational, so studying with practice problems is the way to go. I applied this for the second midterm and killed it, which worked out well because it replaced my first midterm. (P.S. please learn to pronounce the Greek letter "xi")
