Reviews of professor Danielle Wong

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Danielle is a wonderful lecturer that has insightful readings on literature and literary components. However, she marks extremely hard on assignments, and really pushes for in depth development of ideas in all assignments.

This class was very hard for me but worth it because of Dr. Wong. The course readings were definitely not my favourite, but the way Dr. Wong lectured made the content so interesting. She is so articulate, intelligent, and open to student's perspectives during lecture. She has a positive attitude and a clear passion for what she's lecturing about.

This is a very difficult class with a lot of broad, interconnected themes, and Dr. Wong is a hard grader; most of my classmates, including me, got 75s on every assignment. She also talks quite quickly and her lectures are very dense. She is certainly engaging and accessible outside class, though. I liked the class overall, but I struggled a lot.

Dr. Wong was my favourite prof so far at UBC. She is so caring and inspirational, especially for students interested in English. Attendance is required, but her lectures and readings are fairly interesting. Some of the non-fiction articles are a bit dry, but introduce concepts that are good to know. I recommend her class!! TAs grade hard though.

Danielle is an awesome prof. Very enthusiastic and engaging and really seems like she cares about her students. However, I did not like the content of the course- I did not engage with the theme (Technology on gender, race, and sexuality) but that might just be me. Really bummed me out that I didn't like it cuz Danielle was my favourite prof :(

Dr. Wong was amazing and enthusiastic about the course content. All graded papers and writing are done at home so there are no timed essays, unlike other ENGL 110 classes. She provided the final exam questions beforehand and allowed 2 pages of notes. Mark is very TA dependent so I recommend going to office hours and asking for help.

Grade based on participation and a select few papers + final paper. Homework is weekly short stories/films. Cares deeply about material and gets to know students names. Must sign up for office hours. Email turnaround is 1-2 days. This year's theme: The Body at the Border. Mark is TA dependent. Very understanding of needing multiple extensions.

I didn't appreciate how engaging Dr. Wong's lectures were until I sat in other English classes. Do show up coz she takes attendance! The three books we had to read were confusing and irrelevant, otherwise, it's a pretty easy A if you look past the material. No midterm and we could bring notes for the final and 2 in-classes!
