Reviews of professor Alyssa Ong

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Ong is excellent at teaching; definitely the best 224 prof here. Her class is demanding w/ lots of material to learn, but manageable and straightforward to study for w/ her note packets. Only flaw: she can be very condescending, expecting perfection. She might make you feel dumb for asking questions. But still, take her; great class structure.

Dr. Ong was the worst professor I have ever had, and this is the hardest class I have ever taken. She makes you feel dumb asking questions and answers them in a demeaning tone. The exams are EXTREMELY difficult for no reason. There are way better accounting professors. Whatever you do please avoid her at all costs.

Dr. Ong obviously has a reputation at Pepperdine as being very hard and strict, and these things are true, but she is also probably the most caring professor that I've ever taken. She really does want you to succeed in her class and if you put in the work, you will accomplish it. You have to show her that you care in order for her to respect you.

Professor Ong is the most caring professor I have ever had. She is always available after class and responds to emails within the day. Her class is extremely test heavy. Be prepared to put in the extra effort, the grade doesnt come easily. I suggest going to exam prep office hours. DO NOT SLACK YOU WILL NOT PASS.

If you want to mess up your GPA because the professor gets an ego boost from making her class hard for no reason, take this class! If you want to feel the weight of a 6 unit class and only get credit for 3, take this class! If you want to suffer all semester, take this class!
