J Thong is a terrible lecturer. I came from a relatively strong maths background but still found it difficult to compete with Thong's inflated ego and constant quest for self-aggrandisement. I would strongly recommend organising your study plan to avoid having Jonothan Thong as your lecturer.

Jon is very knowledgable in this area but is one lousy lecturer. He teaches the subject in such a convoluted sense making it very hard to understand what the f*** is going on. Tutorials are life savers in this subject and your best shot if you need help understanding. Honestly, this subject should not be so conceptually hard and if there is a change in how it is taught, it may actually be enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, Jon is great, he is very academically sound and provides great support, but his methods of teaching must change.

Lecturer uses complex terminology and there isn't a clear beginning or end to a concept, it is basically a continuous extension of content. Tutorials help clarify material and attempting questions then reading the answers is really effective.

Jon Thong is nice guy but not a great lecturer. The subject requires a lot of effort. Best way to study is to do the reading, listen to the lecturers, review the lecture recordings and do the tute work. Tutorials save your life in this subject

First few weeks are deceptively easy (mean, median, mode and bar charts) then it gets quite complex and difficult. Lectures are often easy to follow and make you feel like you understand but then the questions can be very confusing. If you want to score high in this subject you should do all readings and try to do questions from the textbook each week as they don't set you anything other than the 3 group assignments which aren't too difficult.

Definitely not a well-organised subject, the lecturer Jonathan sometimes could be off topic and all those fancy words he used did not help at all and made the content even harder to understand. Luckily things would get better by the end of the semester since it all started to make sense after the hypothesis test part. However, as the lecturer could be a real problem, not recommend.

JThong lectures are very vague and he goes off-topic a bit. His ramblings made the subject more confusing and harder than it really was. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but we're forced to do it as our core so oh well.

The subject makes you fall in love with Economics

If it weren't for the lecturer, Jon Thong, QM1 would've been a confusing and difficult subject to understand. Jon's a fantastic lecturer that explains concepts so precisely, carefully, and applicably that you won't miss a thing. It won't be maybe until Week 9 that everything starts to align and makes sense, but up until then, just do the assignments and keep working on the activity sheets that Jon assigns after every tute. You will definitely need to use probability and calculus (differentiation and anti-diff) for the subject, but the rest is basically building blocks!

QM was extremely confusing in the beginning (looking back I'm not too sure why either). But as a previous reviewer said things start to click and make sense when you review everything during SWOTVAC. Having said that I would highly recommend going for consultations and listening to online lectures (as Jon can be a little fast when he is lecturing) if you find yourself lost during tutorials. I also agree that there probably should be practice material available to test one's understanding throughout the semester.
