This teacher does not teach her material well. Her instruction is very limited as is her English. She does not give full explainations of material and refers you back to the book if you have any questions. On a 1 to 10 scale I would rate this teacher a 2. She is not very patient and does not want to accomidate in any way.

Really easy class, she doesn't speak the best english so if you have a difficult time with math and a hard time understanding your teachers, could be harder for you. Otherwise grading system seems slack, hw every night, 10 quizzes in total 4 exams, drops 1 quiz, no make ups, hw due every exam, umm class work every day though its worth more then homework, its how she does attendance, yep thats about it.

For the lazy people, if you start dozing off in the middle of class he will randomly call on you and ask you questions on what he's talking about. If you just reply: Can you repeat the question? then he'll either move on to someone else or repeat it for you. He locks the door for the start and break time so you cant get in while he's teaching.

I completed a year at a 4yr university before deciding to transfer. At that 4yr. university I had a 3.4 GPA. In high school I took AP Calc AB and got a 4 and had a 4.2 GPA. I am by no means a stupid person. This professor is hard. The average for the 1st AND 2nd exam was a D or C-. Lot of people dropped before me or were taking for the 2nd time

I just took Calculus I and got a D. His tests are hard and his final exam is the hardest. His quizes are not hard. If only his tests and final are similar to quizes I would have gotten at least a C, if not B. You must do AT LEAST ALL his assigned homework AND remember them through the final exam if you want good grade. There is no way around it.

Professor H. is a good math professor. You can tell that he cares for his students bc he takes his time to explain the subject. However, he is a SUPER tough grader. He expects alot of work (to be shown on the tests) and doesnt believe in givin partial credit for some test questions. I recomm. you takin the class if you have a strong math background

He's no walk in the park. You'll have to work for a passing grade. By that I mean do all your HW. Pace yourself, do half an assignment one day, the other half the next. Then ask questions til your HW is almost flawless. Depending on how well you did the last part, you'll get an A, B, or C. Certainly doable professor, just don't be lazy lol.

Professor Hoang REALLY wants his students to learn. His criteria is super clear and he's very generous on points with in class activities. "No question is stupid" and I learned a lot by asking questions everyday. Replaces lowest test with final test. He takes a long time to explain but you will get it in the end. Tests are on activities+HW.

Anthony Hoang has issues with his teaching method. If you are well versed in mathematics, you will be fine, but if it is just for credits or transfer, avoid him. he expects you to remember past information and will shoot down alternatives to solving an equation. Quizzes are every week as well, so prepare for exhaustion.

The math 185 class is easiest math class I have taken in GWC. Nothing fancy, nothing new in quizzes and tests. All of you need to do is taking his note, understanding clearly the lecture and doing the example again and again that he already solved in class. My class has 90% students got an A, I guess! He is so nice to give a lot extra credits.

He is a good teacher. Quizzes are very easy. You must study hard for a test and a final exam. You can pass with a B if you study all his notes and do homework. If you want to get an A, you must study very hard and ask him questions. He will answer all questions and these questions can be on your quiz or exam.

He is a caring professor, he doesn't want you to fail at all. He prepares you for further science class. Do good on the activity,quiz and extra credit, you will ace this class

He never be on time for class! He has a strong accent since he is not a native English speaker. It's so hard to understand what he says. And he makes his lectures so complicated. As if we have to have 100 steps to solve the questions. Even though the problem doesn't seem to be difficult, you might get lost on your way. he should make simpler.

He is a very great guy and definitely cares about the students. He gives every opportunity to be successful in the class with lots of time to ask questions. Sometimes we would spend an hour just on questions. He will teach you the concepts and how to do everything in calc 1&2 (even the algebra). I failed him once but realized I didnt study enough.

He isn't native speaker but he has a good way to teach you. He doesn't collect homework but you have to do it because some of them will be your quizzes. I think he doesn't try to make hard on the test as long as you understand the basis thing and remember problems he talked in the lecture (so, take note is a good points)!

When asked to do examples from the homework, he would spend 30 minutes on it and not even finish it, expecting us to know the rest. He rushes through topics, too. Accent makes it a little hard to understand. He chooses the easiest problems from the homework to quiz us on, but the hardest ones he saves for the test.

Pretty fair professor, 3 exams and 1 final. Everything on the tests is taught and very similar problems are given in study guides. Homework is optional but helps alot to prepare you for the test.

Yes, he has a thick accent but it's nothing too barring as long as you're an open minded person who is willing to listen and learn. He pushed quizzes and exams when he felt like the class needed it and gave a detailed hand out to explain every chapter. Gives you credit for trying problems. Go. To. Office. Hours.

I would say this is the hardest class I've ever take, especially the final exam. He cares about students and want them to succeed, but make sure you need to understand everything.

I took Hoang for both Calc II and Calc III. If you want to pass his class, DO THE HOMEWORK PROBLEMS and go over the activity problems. He repeats them verbatim on the quizzes and either puts very similar ones on the test or the same ones. If he sees you put in the effort in class by asking questions in class, he'll massively round grade.

Professor Hoang is fairly easy. Of course its a calculus class so getting an A wont be as tangible by just submitting the assignments. You have to put the work in. 3 exams, 1 final, and 3-4 weekly activities that can be done in 15 mins. He gives extra credit on the exams. He has prerecorded lectures and notes that show you how to do the problems.

While exams are 45% of the grade and final exam is 20%, professor Hoang will replace the lowest exam grade with the final exam grade if it is higher. The quiz and exam questions are similar to the hw.
