Professor Wong teaches and tests directly off of his lecture slides. If you are decent at memorization and want an easy A, take this class! He's a really nice guy and even though the midterm and final are worth nearly 90% of the grade they are straight forward and fair. I only used the textbook for clarification on certain topics. This class didn't take up much of my time and I earned an A. I highly recommend this class to people looking for an easy life science GE or for people who are genuinely interested in psychobiology!

If you are good at memorizing things (good with stuff like bio), you'll do well. All you have to do is remember the lecture slides and go through the Midterm/Final review. I only studied for this class right before the midterm and final and got an A-. Don't buy the textbook unless you want to waste your money lol. I just got an older version online for free and I didn't even use it lol. Take this class, it's not that hard if you like remembering things.

Wong is an excellent lecturer and has a pretty nice sense of humor at times, and definitely kept the class engaged throughout each lecture. Homework is given weekly in the form of online quizzes, but if you get 5 or more right out of 10 on them, you'll get full credit, so don't stress out over them. The midterm and final are very straightforward, and there are comprehensive study guides for them, though the content itself is quite a bit of memorization (though it's not too hard). There were 3% extra credit points given, 2% for quick questions that he handed out in class, and 1% for a majority of the class filling out the evaluation, so even if you don't do spectacularly on the exams, you'll probably still have a solid grade. Oh, and don't buy the book. I got it just in case, forgot to return it when I realized I didn't need it, and never opened it. Still ended up with an A+. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking this class with Wong.

The class was a lot of fun to take! There is no discussion attached with it, and attendance was not mandatory. He gives out two or three extra credit opportunities that you have to be in class for, though. They're usually given near the midterm and final, and they're easy. Each is worth 1pt of extra credit. The midterm and final are both worth a lot and are only multiple choice, so if you study and memorize you should be good. The professor was very nice and friendly, and I'm sure if you were confused on something you could just ask. The homework is super easy and you get several chances to get a perfect score on it and that's worth like 15 percent of your grade, and it's like once a week that you do it. WARNING- if you are not good at memorizing, this is not the class for you!! It is really interesting, but there is a lot you need to know and understand to pass!!!

Nice lectures. Good materials. All slides posted. Extra credit given. The devil is in the details...

If you're a north campus major, please please don't take this class. I thought it was going to be relatively manageable, but the midterm and final were super difficult (even when you study lol). Stay away from this class if you're only good at north campus major things!!! Your GPA will thank you.

For me the class was difficult personally, but I think if you keep on the readings, or at least memorize content in the lectures, you'll do fine. I had trouble since I'm not good at science and memorizing the names of certain details (like medicine names or brain part names), but if you start early, stay on top of things, there should be no problem. The class will be easy if you put in enough effort, and if you don't, it's difficult. Professor Wong himself seems helpful and keeps his lectures entertaining. I definitely recommend him if you're taking the course. If you have a good TA, don't hesitate to ask them questions either. Professor Wong encouraged use of the online forum/discussion board (on CCLE) at the beginning of class, so keep that in mind as a resource if you need it.

Professor Wong lectures way too fast. He lectures on 2x speed. It was often hard to understand what he was trying to say. He is aware and told many times that his lectures are very unclear but still speeds through lecture slides. Exams were worded weirdly and tested on very small details from the slides. Memorize and learn the slides very well and you will be fine. Don't need the textbook. I depended on the TA for a lot of my understanding of the material.

This class is very challenging for a GE. Although extra credit is given, the amount of your grade placed into the midterm and final combined with the large amount of information that you have to memorize for them makes for a very stressful class overall. There are definitely more interesting and less stressful GEs.

Going into this class, I thought it would be super chill since there isn't a discussion section. As it turns out, getting myself to lecture turned out to be so tough, which ended up hurting my grade more than anything. Wong's lectures are pretty dry and it's hard to pay attention, but going out to lecture will definitely help you so much more when studying for the exam. I crammed for the midterm 2 days before and ended up with a 76% while I pulled an all-nighter for the final and came out with a 92%. It's very important to spend that extra time during the exams to double/triple check your work because it makes all the difference. Most people will finish probably 30 min into the exams, but if you crammed and aren't sure of your answers, make sure to really think the problems through before submitting. Also, going to class is ultimately in your favor because you can get his extra credit.
