Reviews of professor Alexander Wong

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Unclear instructions w/ essays, especially final essay. Only time he talked about midterm essay: "Don't forget your essays are due on Tuesday." Doesn't convey expectations well. Weekly schedule: boring lectures or small group discussions. Said, "This class takes me like 1 hour to prepare for and my other takes 12 hours." It surely shows in teaching

was one of the hardest stats classes i've taken. didn't explain things well for people who already don't have a strength in math. will grade semi-harshly on the problems part of the exams. relating to the previous stated issue he will give you like three tests in a week in attempt to make it less on you all at once, yet each exam is 3+ pages.

Good teacher. Tests can be difficult. Half of the test is from the lecture and half is from the reading. A lot of homework, but it's pretty easy stuff. As long as you show up to class you'll pass.

This class should be consider as a writing course. Expect to watch 1-3 hours of videos outside of the 1-2 hour lecture. Class was easy but expect to write every day. Extra credit was offered.

Dr. Wong's a nice guy, but his class was the only one in my program that I genuinely felt like I didn't/couldn't learn from. Class was spent having Wong show us walls of text on a PowerPoint while often reading them verbatim. Much of the text was also straight from the textbook that we'd already read as homework. Every assignment was busy work.

Dr. Wong is a very nice, new professor. With that said, his class is all over the place. Nothing done in class is relevant to ANYTHING, the syllabus even says so. Yet attendance is mandatory? All material is learned and completed online. Papers due with no knowledge to the class outside of Blackboard. Take this online if you can.

The subject matter in this class is important and overall I am coming out with heightened knowledge and awareness. Often his lectures made me sleepy and his homework feels like busy work. He is kind and seems to truly want his students to be able to not only understand the material but pass. Just show up, stay awake, and you should do great.

Poor communicator, extremely hard to reach outside of class. Does not response to emails. Grades are based on whether he likes you or not. No feed backs are given for any HW assignments.

He gives 3 exams from spring break to finals week and gets nothing graded in a normal time. attempts to teach stats of psych via lecture and power points which is terrible. reads right off power point and does not greet class in morning. does not manage time in class well. he gives 5 examples in a work sheet and gets through 1 problem. exams online
