One of the best 32a professors--midterms were the easiest out of all of my friends, pacing was good, he really teaches well and doesn't just grade on tests. He gives writing challenge problems and allows you to have 2 grading options. Very very nice and helpful. Definitely take this professor's class!

I would not recommend

- Midterm Exams: challenging exams with abstract concepts not explicitly covered in class. In his defense, he did provide partial credit. Overall, it was impossible to study for them and they left me in tears. Breakdown: 4 questions, parts a-c. (one page cheat sheet allowed)

- Final Exam: Extremely difficult exam. Did not understand how to solve half the questions. Breakdown: true or false section, 8 questions some with multiple parts. (one page cheat sheet allowed).

- Discussion sections: The quizzes were really helpful in understanding the material. I wish the exams could be like his quizzes! They were written extremely well and manageable to solve. The LA was way better then the TA.

- Homework: The challenge problem sets took days to solve. Very inconsistent grading. 2 people can work on it together and submit virtually identical results and yet one will score 20 percent higher.

- Office Hours: He tries to be helpful, but his explanations are far too complex for most normal people to understand. He is also very quiet so sometimes it's hard to hear.

- Lectures: Great lectures, throughly covers material in the textbook. Although sometimes appears to be disinterested and talks in a monotone voice.

Wong is really passionate about teaching. To do well in the class, you have to really understand the material. It is not enough to simply do the practice problems. You really need to be able to visualize the problems and understand what the formulas really yield. The midterms and final are really conceptual. However, the grading is not harsh at all. If you demonstrate some type of understanding through your work, you are guaranteed the majority of the credit. Wong assigns homework, but does not grade it, so it is pretty much optional. The only assignments you have are the weekly discussion sheets and the challenge problem sets. The challenge problem sets are basically like mini projects where you apply the material you learned in class. If you make them look professional and show some understanding, you will get a good grade on them. The math 32 series is supposed to be the hardest lover div math series but Wong did his best to make accommodations and make the class as easy as possible.

A pretty balanced class- Wong is a good professor but his exams are pretty difficult. He assigns two challenge problem sets (sort of heavy on workload and grading) but the discussion worksheets are counted as quizzes and are easy to get a good grade with a group. He provides a lot of partial credit and allows cheat sheets.
I personally wasn't able to focus too much on this class, but if you do give your best effort, I believe Wong gives you plenty of chances at earning a solid A. I can also definitely say that he cares a lot about his students- he wants you to be able to connect the concepts he teaches to real-life applications and add significance to what you are learning from him. I think he does that well.

This class is as hard as people say it is. It was challenging from the start, and at no point did it get easier. Multivariable calculus is just a hard concept to grasp, but the way Wong taught it didn't make it any easier. The lectures were a bit dull and complicated, but his slideshows were useful, and he does a great job providing us with resources. But, his exams were extremely hard, and so were his challenge problems. His challenge problems were hard to solve, tedious, and a significant amount to your grade. The grade you get really depends on whether or not you have a nice TA grade. I got 100% on both my challenge problems, and it really saved me because I did absolutely horrible on my exams. I personally didn't love Wong as my professor, but he also wasn't the worst.

(He does give a generous curve at the end of the quarter though if you fill out all of the reflections)

idk what this man was on but this class was ridiculous. he just graduated and you could tell he was excited to teach math but as a result automatically expected everyone to know what he was teaching which made class horrid. he also didn’t explain things well and often drew loads of pictures with no annotations or muffled explanations that looped on other answers. questions asked in class were often answered with the phrase “we’ll talk more later” or “ask next class”. extra credit assignments were really just a chance to redo the
graded assignments we flopped and
were actually taxing and often longer than the original assignments. just like the other person stated, i never came across students that said they passed. i love math so much but this class really made me feel slow
