SMART, friendly, accessible teacher. He really knows his stuff!!! You will definitely learn something from his courses. Great teacher, super helpful . Mr. Nguyen is one of the best teachers I have ever had. I think if anyone hates math this is the teacher to take. I have always struggled in math..and I got a B. He truly wants his students to fully understand the material and is very helpful during office hours. I would highly recommend HIM.

he is the best you better take him :)

Very friendly and, contrary to what some may say, is good at explaining Trig and Calculus material. You must be comfortable with lower level MAT classes in order to do well in 171 and 172 as they are hard courses. He fully explains any problems worked or any homework. I took him for two courses, so I highly recommend him.

He breaks down EVERY new concept in great detail, gives examples and goes through them slowly for the entire duration of the class. He stops for any questions and even trys to answer ones he thinks students might want to ask. Fair and adequate amount of H.W., you can use notes on quizes, and the test aren't brutally long. Very fair, very relaxed.

Mat 171 and 172 are hard classes but this instructor does a good job of explaining the material and if you are having trouble, will make time to help you in whatever you need. I have had him for both 171 and 172 and if you are not in class and don't do the homework then you cannot expect to pass these classes. An awesome math instructor!!

Love him

He's a great teacher and very helpful.

He's just awesome.

Good teacher, pretty easy and will help you on what you need most of the time. Some times a bit confusing, but if you try you will pass MAT 171, 172 with relative ease.

he's fun to look at, very cute! but it seems like when he is lecturing he focuses on the ceiling & not the students. he seems new to teaching so i guess he's nervous. As long as you come to class & do your homework you should get an A.

Lord Jesus Christ. HE IS HOT!!! It's nice to have some eye candy motivation to come to class. But great teacher. I recommend him if your math literate. If you're not good in it and you need to have everything break down, he's not for you.

Good Teacher; explains well and actually knows what he's talking about, and he's pretty patient

He is a really great teacher to have! Very helpful and patient. Lenient as well...he does use the examples from the text book but isnt a requirement to have it...(i didnt buy the book and was able to keep up)...he does look at the ceiling alot but i guess it makes him comfortable...and yes he is hot! Love him! wish he teached my next math course!

Love him. He's helpful, brilliant at math, patient,really laid back as far as attendance, tardiness, cell phone use, etc. goes... And you can tell he's a generally cool person. Does tutoring sessions twice a week... if you make the effort he'll really try to help you out. And yeah, he's totally gorgeous. I love his hair.

Explains in detail in easy to understand format. Breaks down complicated material. Will stay and help if needed. Gives twice a week help sessions. Probably the best MAT teacher I have had. Might try him for CALC or go to Levine as I hear the other CAL teachers a Central or horrible at best.

He is so smart and brilliant when it comes to math, only problem was that I am not and he was unable to come down to my level to help me understand. He is the Math Dept head and offers tutoring twice a week. He wants you to do well and gives many opportunities. I am sure he is great if you understand math already but for developmental not so much

He is a great teacher. Tests are very simple, not too many questions. However, he gives tons of homework and will not work with you in case of an emergency.

He teaches this class extremely well. The entire class, homework, quizzes, and tests, were all taken through course connect. If you keep up with course connect and ask questions when needed, you can easily get an A in this course.

He was a very good teacher. He was very helpful and wanted to make sure his class succeeded in learning MAT 080. He is very knowledgeable in this class.

If you are already knowledgeable in this subject, this should be the easiest teacher ever. Do the textbook problem homework even though that's not mandatory. Then you will get an A very easily.

This class is fun. Professor Nguyen is very helpful and whenever you ask questions, he is always answer. He is always help students in class and during office hours. If you come to class, do homework and recommend problems, you will be fine. And yes he is HOT!

I struggled in his exams but he is an excellent professor. If you show interest he will work with you and help you for 3 hours if necessary. I would recommend his classes!

His teaching styles are great. one of the great teach in history. I wish i can take his class again and again until i finish math class. students can learn a lot. very easy and professional teachers. Tests are easy. Teach very well.

He is an awesome professor!! He takes his time and help you understand, he stays after class and ANSWERS emails. It was more difficult for me because my last math class was over 25 years ago; Professor Nguyen helped me understand and took his time. He has a great sense of humor but he's about the numbers :)

he is so kind he explains too clear he answers every question you ask

A fantastic professor, in my opinion. He clearly explains all the concepts in a very detailed manner and clears up any problems you might have. He sets you up for success and leaves your performance on tests up to you.

Great teacher and very helpful. He works with his student and treats them as a big brother. He's super nice and very professional. I highly recommend him.

Professor Nguyen is an amazing math teach. He is very skilled with analyzing difficult concepts and breaking them down for easier understanding. He is also very considerate to making his lecture easily relatable and valuing each student's unique way of learning. As long as you do the homework you will excel! TAKE HIS CLASS YOU WONT REGRET IT.

Professor Nguyen spends most of the class showing you how to complete problem examples but you aren't quizzed on anything specific from these lectures. Homework is routine on ALEKS which is all easily done. Tests are short and simple but cover the basics of each section. Attend class and pay attention and this is an easy A.

Mr. Nguyen is a great teacher. His test are not hard at all. He's goes through every step of the problem so you can understand. You do not use a calculator in his class but its worth it. If you're not sure about a topic, he is open after class, during breaks or his office hours. You do not need to buy a physical text book; ebook on Aleks will do.

Mr. Nguyen is very smart and a very nice person. However, sometimes it is a little hard to follow his lessons. But he is always willing to help you if you don't understand. Will break down every concept for you, available to help after class and during office hours. Do HW on Aleks, the reviews and with some effort, you will pass. Book is online too

Cao Nguyen was a great teacher. He was very fast paced, but he knew how to break a problem down, and show the class how to do it. The Aleks reviews and test are very similar, but the test do have more advanced question. As long as you do Aleks assignments and study, you should get a B or higher.

I don't know why anyone would say he grades tough or doesn't comply with his original policies. I had to take this class twice and he was awesome. Glad I had him the second time around. Super awesome with grading. If I had to take a math class again he is the professor I would choose.

Amazing teacher. Spends extra time with students after class to ensure they understand. A Lot of homework thanks to Aleks. Exceptional lectures, easy to understand, step by step with everything. Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend Prof. Nguyen! Best math professor. Just come to class, listen, ask questions and do your part.... you will get an A.

He explained topics well and made it easy to understand. He breaks down topics with you and makes sure you understand step-by-step. As long as you do the ALEKS work and attend class you can pass. But there is lots of ALEKS work.

Mr. Nguyen has been one of my favorite professors. He teaches a difficult class but explains concepts very well. He deeply cares about his students and is always ready to help with questions or with due date extensions if needed. Lots of homework, but makes the tests extremely easy because you have already practiced everything a lot.

My 3rd attempt at trig. Took him over the summer in a short session class so beware of many assignments. Assigns LOTS of test prep and PLENTY of homework (expect up to 20+ hours of work per week). Tests were easy if you did the work and lectures were long (at times) but extremely thorough. Understanding, responds quickly, and gives extensions.

Very understanding and simplifies difficult material well. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with math. Best advice to pass class with good grade is to complete each and every hw and practice test thoroughly and you're well set for the tests/exams.

He is an amazing teacher!!! people say he is difficult but he is not. stay on top of work and ask questions!!! Tests are worth a large percentage of grade so just do the study guide over and over and over again to make sure you understand. Overall, the class was super easy and manageable.

He is chill. For the most part, you will be teaching yourself or using Aleks to learn. The study guides are usually different from the actual test. However, the final exam study guide was nearly the same as the test. The hw might be a lot for some, but to me, it was doable. Do not depend on the hw to bring up your grade; they're not worth much.

Really great professor but wayyy too test heavy. Loved her as a person but tests were worth almost a quarter of the grade.

Mr. Nguyen is an amazing professor! He is extremely test-heavy so you must do well on the test to succeed in his class. The first test I failed because I did not understand his testing style, however, in the next 2 tests I got over 95%. It is crucial to repeatedly do the study guides he gives you. Overall, a great teacher and will help you if asked

Mr. Nguyen was a pretty chill dude. I really like the way he explained each topic throughout the course, he was very easy to understand. The study guides helped me, especially because your grade is heavily effect my the tests.

I took online precalc trig with Professor Nguyen and I had a good experience. All work is completed on aleks and the pre-test determines your workload for each topic, so if you get a good grade it will lighten the workload by a lot. The tests are on lockdown browser, but he does not use webcam or audio recording which is great.

Professor Nguyen is an amazing teacher who makes math enjoyable with his detailed ALEKS lessons, calm demeanor, and humor. The class isn't easy, but doing homework, reviewing unit labs before tests, and asking questions will help you succeed. He truly wants his students to thrive, and I'm grateful for his support and encouragement!

Mr. Nguyen was a really cool professor. One thing about his lectures is that they are based of the homework on Aleks. So was the exams, so your best friend in MAT 171 is Aleks and staying after lecture to ask questions with Mr. Nguyen. Thank you Mr. Nguyen

He explained everything easy to understand. He also gave an extension for homework, which I was thankful for. He is also a caring person and always wants students to be successful.

He made it simple to understand. His lecture videos were very helpful. He makes math very interesting to study.

Grading is very test heavy but he replaces the lowest with the final test grade. Lots of homework to do. I found his recorded lectures to be extremely helpful and informative but they are really low quality which made it hard to follow at points. He doesn't give very good feedback on tests. You get almost nothing other than the grade.

Professor Nguyen obviously cares that you learn the material from his course and puts forth his best effort to help you learn it. I enjoyed the course, and I do feel that I learned the subject material. The only qualms are that signature assignment felt out of place with the rest of the course, and he tended to ramble in his lectures.
