Very hard to understand this professor given his very thick accent. Class content is posted ahead of time, and attendance is pointless unless you read the slides. Midterms and final is nothing like the practice exams or review sessions. Don't take this section.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof. Nguyen is very kind and accessible outside of class, but his teaching is very unorganized. He doesn't use his tablet to solve problems in lecture, he just writes them out before hand for students to look at. I did not attend lecture after the first week, as going to class was often counterproductive.Rate My Professors ↗
Super nice and really helpful. Always willing to go over stuff in office hours and responds to emails fast. Midterm was easy, mostly basic concepts. Final was tougher and covered way more. But he grades generously and adjusted the cutoffs, so that helped a lot. As long as you keep up, you'll be fineRate My Professors ↗
Great prof! Really helped me understand the behind the formula instead of just memorizing stuff. His examples in class were super helpful, and the exams were pretty fair, very similar to past tests and what we did in lecture.Rate My Professors ↗
He is a terrible professor. He does not care about his students' success at all and has horribly organized lectures. His tests were nothing like what was taught in class. His TAs hated him and his teaching method. Overall, he made what was supposed to be a fairly easy class unnecessarily hard.Rate My Professors ↗
Nguyen is a legit lifesaver. You can tell he wants you to succeed. His lectures and reviews are GOLD - exams are straight from them, no hidden tricks. Not the most hype class, but an easy A if you show up.Rate My Professors ↗
