FOR PSYCH 119Y: Dr. Wong is one of the nicest professors I've had, and presents his lecture topics clearly where he can keep your attention for most of the lecture (sometimes can seem really long, ~75 min). His tests are fair, testing on mostly lecture material with corresponding material from the book. He holds office hours regularly after the lecture where you can ask about course material or even just have a nice conversation, and has introduced me to a topic that you probably have not taken at UCLA before. Highly recommend taking him for this class, easy upper div for psychobio!

If you are interested about the study of brain damages and related effects, you will certainly learn a lot in the class. In every lecture, specially the ones after the midterm, you will learn at least something new. You need to attend classes because the professor gives out extra credit randomly in class-- once before and once after the midterm.
If you're taking this course as a GE, I wouldn't recommend it. Course material isn't easy (from a GE perspective), and because there is a single midterm with equal weight as the final (42.5%), every point has significant impact on your grade. However, the course has arguably a free 15% + 3% extra credit, you really need to work for only 85% with a buffer to 82%.

That said, if you want to take this class to learn something, I strongly recommend this class. The professor does want you to learn and the course material is quite intuitive. You won't require the book; you really only need to study the slides to do well. If you sit down to study the book, you'll waste a significant amount of energy, yet, will learn a lot in the material too. It's not worth the money though.

Professor Wong is a really great professor for introduction to psychology. He doesn't just tell you about studies and spews data but he shows videos and tells great stories to give you a real image of different disorders and conditions.

Definitely study lecture slides for the exams, some of the questions are really obscure but not an impossible class.

It can be boring because he just reads off the power point slides. It isn't hard to get an A if you just memorize his power point slides

His tests are not as tricky as I'd previously heard. As long as you study his powerpoint slides (and make sure to take additional notes as he mentions a lot of things in class that aren't in his slides), you will do perfectly fine. The only thing a little nerve wrecking is the fact that his midterm and final are worth the same in his class (each 45%), so you really have to make sure you do good on both to get an A.

It baffles me why the reviewers below are calling Wong cute.

This man is truly gifted. He was blessed with the ability to put people to sleep.
