Reviews of professor Peter Wong

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took ASAM 121 and ASAM 340 with Dr. Wong. Both classes were online, asynchronous. Lots of readings, weekly discussion posts, and a few essays. Readings were always interesting, discussion boards were fairly graded, and essays were easy enough. I would recommend for someone who does not need a lot of structure and is good with time managament.

Structured, clear grading, fairly well lectures, organized professor, and class was more about learning and interacting then focusing on test or remembering. Easy class guys relax.

Professor Wong is a very caring teacher that looks out for all his students. He responds to questions very professionally and is always willing to help you. There are a lot of readings, however, and a project that you will be working by choosing a specific East Asian country you would like to work on. The only negative is he takes forever to grade.

Dr. Wong teaches economic concepts but not its math application which is what the homework consists of. In-class lectures consist of him reading off the book's pre-generated PPT slides. No math problems are explained in class due to "lack of time."

Professor Wong is an easy grader. 6 discussion boards, 6 quizzes, and perusall annotations. He requires academic sources for db, be prepared to research and read each unit. Quizzes are easy and can be retaken. Final is 2 essays requiring academic sources. He doesn't really lecture, just links videos and articles. Required book can be found online.

This is just a 100 level class dude needs to chill. Theres so many essays and they arent that clear on what he wants. The final essay is just so extra for no reason.

6 discussions, 8 quizzes & a final that's a 2-part essay. There's 1 discussion you could do for extra credit. Each discussion must have some academic sources & you must reply to 2 classmates after 2 days you post yours. Honestly expects a lot from you & grades pretty harshly even though this is a 100-level class.

Prof. Wong's grading: Delayed feedback, minimal constructive criticism, demanding academic sources ( for niche topics e.g., "Korean tacos" which he can't find himself). He gave 15/20 for intros I think this speaks for itself. Be wary of him I'm an engineer major and this is my most tedious class for my last semester.
