Reviews of professor Jennifer Wong-Ma

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Wong-Ma is passionate but the course load is intense. The assignments are challenging, but using tools like unstuckstudy ai can really help with study prep. Overall, a rewarding class if you're willing to put in the work.

I took Wong-Ma for two of her courses in a single quarter and the amount of work she gives requires a TON of time. I recommend her for only one of her courses at a time since it takes away from so much else you can be working on. Aside from that, I think some people enjoyed her a lot more than me, but overall she was a pretty good professor.

Had her for 51 and 53. Either of these classes with her will be the most difficult and intensive class you've ever taken, but you will never learn as much as you do with Wong-Ma. I gained such a deep understanding in both classes and it genuinely pours over and helps across the board in CS. I actually wish I could take every CS class with her.

Spring '23 did have a rough ending bc of personal struggles for Wong-Ma, but she is a great professor, gives informative lectures, and tries to answer everyone's questions in & out of class. Lots of EC opportunities, make sure to attend lectures and utilize lab and you'll do fine in her class.

The workload for this class is unrealistic, even for 6 units. 5 assignment, each with around 20 pages worth of text and you won't finish them without multiple all nighters. Exams have C average grades.  There is extra credit and a curve but the class average with it is a B-, which is a big red flag. Save the time and stress of possible and avoid

I was excited for this class at first... however, tedious and chaotic homework, where the information on the doc is not consequent and pieces and bits are scattered made me truly dislike it. As a senior taking this class my last quarter I can assure you the learning outcomes compared to the time spent on the assignments is so not worth it. AVOID

She will likely respond within a day to ed posts, but around 3 weeks to anything non related to course material: sickness, family death, etc.
Homeworks and assessments were completely unrelated except for one :D
Some effort put in by her, but focused and appealed to the wrong standards for many students learning styles
