Reviews of professor Valerie Wong

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
She is great! Her class was pretty easy, just go to the class one every other week and you're good! She does not give homework besides quizzes and since its online, notes are accessible although you can do it without notes if you pay attention! If something happens, keep her in the loop, she is understanding

I took her class and thought it was hard but it wasn't. You just need to read and do her assignments to pass her tests. she gives you a week to do them. they really not that hard and she gives you two attempts, she lets you see which ones you got right and wrong which is good. Zoom meetings are a bit boring due to the fact that almost no one joins.

Ya know, she really tries to make biology cool and fun. I see the effort, I really do. It's just that I felt nothing she taught helped me to pass the exams. There are no study guides and there is a ton of critical thinking. I studied so much. The exams have really difficult free response questions. I would recommend getting a tutor.

Dr. Wong is the funniest professor I've ever taken before. Ask her about her opinion on frogs.

She's a very knowledgeable and passionate teacher. The weekly quizzes are pretty challenging, and often based on the lectures, so you need to pay attention. She makes you think about the subject, which for me helped understand the material. It's not an easy class, but I would recommend her if you want to learn something.

She's a great lecturer and posts her (detailed) lecture powerpoints online so students can access them. She tries to make the class manageable and somewhat fun, but the material itself is overwhelming. That being said, her exams are HARD, and even though they're online, Google won't help and she doesn't give much time. Exams are based on slides.
