PSYC2010 Introduction to Statistics

Shared by Anonymous

2024-03-02

Professor: Dr Vince Ngan Siu Hin

The professor answers students' questions quickly, thoughtfully and comprehensively. Plus, he posts all students' questions onto the Blackboard so other students can refer to it. In terms of the course content though, it is very math-heavy but the math is useless for future PSYC courses; only the concepts is useful. Lectures and tutorials can skip

PSYC3430 Psychology of Language

Shared by Anonymous

2024-02-08

Professor: Tomohiro Inoue

Monotone but explains different concepts clearly. Although the course has some foundational knowledge from PSYC2350, he explains them clearly to students who haven't taken/completed it yet. The textbook may help you understand better but the format is very annoying to read. The assessment of tutorial participation is a bit troublesome, as it requires you to ask questions in every presentation. Lecture not mandatory but I suggest going to it as this course introduces some linguistics concepts that could be easier to understand in person.

PSYC2620 Social Psychology

Shared by Anonymous

2024-02-08

Professor: Au Winton Wing Tung

The professor is very passionate, outgoing and friendly. He actively engages the students by asking questions, telling jokes, and showing video demonstrations. Explains concept in a clear way. However he can be ditzy sometimes, such as forgetting to teach a certain topic and telling the wrong date for the midterm (these may be due to cancellation of first class). Lectures and tutorials are not mandatory, but tutorials are a good time to discuss group project with TAs.

Professor is kind-hearted and friendly. Teaching is ok-ish but the content of the Powerpoint is just copying the textbook. No need to attend lectures or tutorials unless you need to present/you are the audience group.

PSYC2020 Experimental Design

Shared by Anonymous

2024-02-02

Professor: Yin Xiaotong

May directly read from Lecture slides sometimes but still try to engage students by asking questions (but people rarely respond). However she is very helpful when you have questions regarding the group project, as she will reply with great detail and explanation. The tutorials are useless and can skip because it only teaches how to use Jamovi, which was already covered in PSYC2010.

Friendly and considerate; she will extend deadlines if she thinks students are having difficulty and welcomes consultations. She also thoroughly explains the assignment rubrics with some examples so we how to do better in our coursework. The course itself is a bit chur though, since you cannot rely on cue cards for the persuasive presentation, you have to spend more time to prepare.

Professor: Du Julan

a bit boring in class but you have to attend to know which part he talked about and which part are skipped. Although it is open-book but you won't have time to go thought all by yourself at the end of semester(that's why you have to attend lesson). You need to prepared for it so that you can finish the final exam on time.

Professor: BAI Ying

This course did performed a different view to review economic performance of countries. It started with the solow model but the latter part is purely text. To conclude, it has some part of math but still in an acceptable range. For the group projects, he was nice and provided a lot of useful comments on the project e.g how he wanted us to show the differences. Maybe a bit fast when he was teaching the math part but overall still good teaching performance.

SOCI1201 Hong Kong Society : Identities and Boundaries

Shared by Anonymous

Professor: LAU Siu Lun

Friendly and enthusiastic, the professor engages the class by discussing interesting historical events and showing some pictures/videos. However, they are not heavily related to the exam, so you don’t have to attend class to get a good grade. When you don’t know how to do the book report, the professor would give you some ideas to write about. The course does not have heavy workload but isn't easy to get a good grade either, as you need to have rich knowledge of Hong Kong history.

Professor: Varies

The exam is very tricky. For the MCQ, you need to memorize a lot of specific details in the lecture notes. Furthermore, the questions asked may not be covered in the lecture notes and only mentioned verbally in lectures. Some questions regarding the history of NA can only be found on the website. As for the LQ, you need to write 2 essays of 500 words each, yet the rubrics of the LQ is unclear.

Dr. Ku’s lectures are always interesting as he always analyzes various business cases and social phenomena. He has excellent teaching skills and good English. I recommend you to take the course (even if you are not a business student) unless you hate group projects. There are group assignments and a pretty complicated group project - but these are perfectly fine if you have good groupmates.
