Dr. Wong has been one of the most helpful professors I have ever had here at UCLA. He hosted numerous office hours before assignments were due and was present at every lab meeting for questions. The only thing that would cause someone to have difficulties with this class would be their own procrastination on the assignments, because we were given very generous deadlines for when the labs were due. Overall, great guy who gives very clear answers to your questions regarding the material and is very approachable.
Dr. Wong is extremely helpful in this class! I took him for 119Y the previous quarter and for 116A this quarter and had no trouble both understanding the class content. Even though the 3 hour labs can sometimes drag, as long as you complete the assignment done you can leave early. Be sure to listen to his lectures as he outlines important content you will eventually need for your 3 write-ups in this class. Grading is done by the TA, and is fair if you have paid attention in both lecture and labs, and you're allowed to work with people in your lab group to help each other answer questions (of course, no plagiarism though). Overall, take this class with Prof. Wong if you can for a smooth quarter and interesting experiments that were well-adjusted for online classes!
Dr. Wong was seriously the most helpful out of all the professors that were teaching Psych 116 (Wong >> Ringach > Grisham >> Blair). He didn't have his own "module," but he was at every lab discussion, lecture, and office hours answering student questions (including the CCLE forum). He was never vague about answering my questions, and while other professors/TA's were somewhat withdrawn in helping students, Dr. Wong really does want to help the students who ask for it.
The actual course had 3-4% of extra credit opportunities. There were three modules all weighted equally and independently. All lab assignments were due at the end of the module for the most part. This class was kinda useless, not going to lie, and it was a lot of busy work! I did not like that the professors were not very organized with rubrics/grading as well. This was probably my least favorite psych course, but Dr. Wong is a great professor.
Great professor! Really cares about the students and puts in effort to make sure everything is clear. Takes time to answer student questions and posts point breakdowns of the assignments which is really helpful as all you have to do is make sure you hit each of the sections!
Because I put a lot of work into the class, I am selling my media files of the in-class lab tours (including last year's practical), flashcards on Anki (made from these tours in lab, lecture material, online media), and comprehensive study guide for $20 in a package. This was a great benefit to my own studying and took me many hours to create/compile. Fair warning: what is on the lab practical probably varies from year to year, but there's only so much neuroanatomy to test on. If you are interested, please email me at *************
Class is divided into 3 modules worth 33% of your grade each: western immunoblotting with planarian samples, behavioral experiments with planarians (these two modules focus on the same research question—effect of caffeine on planarian habituation), and neuroanatomy + practical. For me, neuroanatomy was the toughest with the sheer amount of information we had to memorize (identifying brain structures, what pathways they are in, what functions they are responsible for etc.) assessed during a lab practical. For western immuno and behavioral modules, the assessments were lab reports which took a long time (10+ pg full manuscript-style reports with intro, methods, results, discussion) but were graded fairly leniently (I got high As on both). Specific to Wong, he is a hard working and nice professor—write down everything he says and study it for an A+
Great professor for 116. This class is naturally a lot of work and the concepts can require a lot of memorization, but he communicates everything very clearly and effectively. The class is split into three modules: neuroanatomy, Swimmy (neuronal circuits), and visual neuroscience. Neuroanatomy was definitely the hardest and required solid understanding and identification of every brain structure. The other two modules are pretty easy and are graded on lab write-ups. Overall, highly recommend taking 116 with Wong.
