He has a midterm and final, each 100 questions. It is hard, but if you actually study whats on the study guide you will be fine.
He also gives you about 10 documentaries to watch, and you have to answer 10 questions per documentary. You would need to complete this by the end of the quarter. Super easy. This was the only homework he gave us and it actually bumped my grade from a C to an A-.
I strongly recommend him.
Cons: His final exam is eleven pages. Yes. *eleven* [!] pages :-0 I have never had m/c exams where I had to identify urban features, diagrams, design plans, and maps. But that's what you have to do. Also the midterm is kind of difficult because there is so much to read on the exam.
He is very disciplined. When I found out he's a son of a veteran I understood.
Shut your phones off. He deducts 5 points each time and calls you out on it. This is costly.
Cons: -grade based on only midterm, final and 7pg paper = no room for excuses/mess up's!
Professor Fong is 1 of my top 3 professors here at CPP. it seems like no matter what class subject it is he is always so enthusiastic and definitely knows his stuff! He really keeps the class on their toes whenever he is telling a story or simply explaining wtvr the topic it may be. I really enjoy his classes and always seem to do well even with only 3 items making up the full grade. i recommend taking Fong if u have the chance, u wont regret it!
course:
1. midterm= all multiple choice; not too bad
2. final paper=7 pgs on a social issue relating to course
3. final= all multiple choice
4. some films relating to course topics= not boring
5. every class period is full lecture= so you cant miss class theres no powerpoint!
-Talks at a moderate pace so as to allow for students to take notes without feeling rushed!
-Midterm+Final
-Paper due on the day of the final on any topic that relates to the theories discussed in class.
-Very respectful of students.
Cons: None.
Dr. Fong is a GREAT professor. I have taken 2 classes with him before and have enjoyed both of them. He does require textbooks but I was able to pass the classes with As without having to even open the books. His lectures are very thorough and if you attend class & study your lecture notes, you'll do great in the exams.
Cons: Your grade is based on 2 tests and a 7 page paper.
I love Professor Fong. He's my favorite professor.
Cons: Lots of reading
Great teacher
Cons: Your entire grade is based on 2 tests and one final paper. No room to F*** up!
Dr. Fong is an outstanding teacher. You can really feel his passion. Be ready to write non-stop and never miss class. His tests are challenging. The key is to truly understand the essence of each theorist in order to get the answer. His lecture style and tests are somewhat similar to Dr.Loo's. Read, study, ask questions and you can get an A. :)
Cons: He is anal about your phones. Each time it rings, he will deduct 5 pts. His m/c exams are the hardest you'll ever take because each of the questions are like essays, but he gives reviews before them so be there. Am unsure about the paper as I still have to hand it in lol.
Fong's a gifted professor. He doesn't use powerpt except when showing important issues and diagrams so I had to get used to this but his depth and speaking skills are quite amazing. I have him at 8 in the morning and I have a 9:15 306 class with him after. He switches mental gears immediately between the 2 courses and still blows our minds again.
Cons: The final paper
Only has a couple assignments
I really, really liked him as a professor but I don't think I will take him again because of his grading.
My only criticism is his strong liberalism because I tend to be conservative. But then he's a sociologist and they're all liberal hippies anyway. So it is very sad to see students who don't realize that given the CSU's pathetic situation Prof Fong is one of the few profs left that has passion and brilliance in teaching and knowledge. I feel I still get a genuine education with the guy. The problem with sites like these is that frequently whiners, exaggerators and babies show up here and BS and play their crying games. I want to positively comment about him at a time when the stupid CSU can't get their act together.
}If the CSU is a sinking ship then Prof Fong's courses are rafts in the ocean. He gets to class on time, is always prepared for his lectures and has a great work ethic. Just listen and read your books. I'm beginning to wonder what is worse, the effed up CSU system or a pathetic lot of students feeling entitled yet having super low IQs. If these folks are the Americans of our future our country will be going downhill. Go to Iraq and see what kind of schooling kids over there have and you'll stop whining about dedicated American profs when they exist. Try pulling your iphones and gaming consoles out of your assess and pay attention. You just might learn something you little whining children with leaky diapers.
