Nguyen's class is always filled with interesting topics to discuss.Since it is a Child Dev class, it is no surprise that people will have questions about their children.It is not beyond the realm of Psych to suggest advice to help parents out. If u don't like helping people, don't major in Psych.

I have her for abnormal psych, and she seems to keep the class very interesting. She has a great sense of humor, and dresses nice. She is very energetic too, and at times can talk fairly quick when she gets into what she is saying. The only hard thing for me is the pace of the class, and the fact that you cant make up her quizzes for any reason. I had my dog pass away so I missed the first quiz, and I am sure I am screwed now. I dont hold it against her, it just really sucks. Good teacher...very nice!

She is a good teacher. I would have to say though that she picks students that she likes... I am a good student and received high grades but she can be caustic at times. She does not seem to reward the students who try hard and well.

Prof Nguyen's Psych 4 online class/website is very clear and orderly to me. If you follow the schedule and deadlines, do all your quizzes (the questions will appear again on the exams), take your exams, post your hw in a timely fashion, you will pass with flying colors. It's not design for students to fail unless they simply don't do the work.

Prof. Nguyen is a great instructor. I took both psych 4 and psych 1A with her in the same semester. She makes the class fun. The homework was easy and helped me study. The research paper was easy. A garaunteed A+ if you checked in with her. She is always available to the students. I definitely reccomend taking her for any psych class.

Binh is amazing! She is a great teacher. I took her at 9am, and let me tell you after the frustration of just trying to find parking, she was a jewel to come to school and see. She is FUNNY!, realistic, understanding, and works on the level of the class. She truly is a great teacher! Take her.As long as you show up, get involved, you will getan A/B

Great instructor, easy on the mind and the eyes! Never bought the book and still got a B, not that I'm advocating this approach as the book would really help with names/concepts. She really loves the subject matter and it shows in her teaching, would recommend to anyone needing or wanting to take this course!

Intense, but fun summer class. Ms. Nguyen always comes into class enthusiastic & ready. She's hilarious & is effective in diffusing a heavy subject matter. Syllabus is clear. Helpful assignments. Research guidelines for papers appear in clear details on 3 pages & given on the 1st day of class. Plenty of opportunities for questions & clarifications.

The class is fun, but the tests are super hard. 4 tests that are 100 questions on a scantron. She gets off topic a lot and on the first test for the class the adverage was a D. She's really funny though. Wouldn't really recomend her, class is hard.

Nguyen is a good teacher. I thought she graded fairly and I got an A. She even let me resubmit homework. Her tests weren't easy tough. It's really easy to see her outside of class, she's very easy to talk with, and as a bonus, she is very attractive. The Negative: We read the whole textbook. I feel like a real psychologist because of her class.

Not too much homework, and the tests are easy if you?ve followed along in the lectures and done the reading. Final was not based on the entire year, which made it a lot easier.

Took the class online. Very easy format. Take the quizzes however much you want til you get a perfect score, and those questions will be on the test most likely. I suggest taking the quizzes like 4 or 5 times so you're prepared for the tests. Tests are easy if you do that. Quizzes aren't even hard. Overall, very easy format and good teacher!

Online class. This was so easy. I took it with some other very difficult classes to fill up my 12 units. You take a quiz a week (can repeat as many times as you want). I didn't read the book, just had it open for quizzes and tests. Tests are quiz questions repeated. A few homeworks (very easy), and a large extra credit assignment at the end.
