Very good professor. Clear with the expectation of the class from the start and is generally very organized. Lectures are clear and well prepared, has more of an emphasis on applied mathematics because of his specialties. Exam are just the right difficulty: hard enough to challenge you, but also definitely doable with enough experience.Rate My Professors ↗
Tran was an amazing professor for Math 521. He clearly knows his material and tries to present it in a way that makes sense and flows for students. He has an interesting grading system, where HW, Midterm 1, and Midterm 2 were each worth 20% and the final was worth 40%. He gave a big curve though, generous grading and hard if not impossible to failRate My Professors ↗
He grades everything fairly. He also wants us to achieve success by summarizing common mistakes and providing past paper. Although exams are very hard and scores in every exam are low, the course is curved. You can do well, at least a B, if you spend your time.Rate My Professors ↗
Too much homework, and the homework is super hard. He will deduct a lot of points even if you just made a small mistake in the exam. I would recommend him if you enjoy spending time solving difficult homework problems.Rate My Professors ↗
Fabulous professor. His lectures were easy to follow even when the proofs and content were hazy. He taught with so much passion for mathematics which made it very easy to attend his class. Very helpful in office hours, very respectful and patient with questions. You would not want to miss an opportunity to take a class with Professor Tran.Rate My Professors ↗
Hung Train puts way more effort into teaching than 95% of profs. He runs a very clear class where everything is very fair. He knows how to teach. Analysis will be hard if you haven't done much like it before so you want to take it with Hung Tran.Rate My Professors ↗
