Prof. Nguyen is for sure the best math teacher at Moorpark. She not only is fair with the tests but drops a test and lowers her grading scale. If you do the homework and pay attention in class you will be successful in her class. If you need help or don't understand a concept she will slow down or try different methods to make sure you get it.

Diana is the worst math teacher I have ever had. Your whole grade is tests and quizzes(which you have every Monday). She encourages students to ask questions but when they do she treats them like they're stupid. She acts like she cares but doesn't help you at all. If you're apart of access she won't be very helpful to you at all.

Prof Nguyen is nottt the best math professor I've had… She hates answering questions and is rude when students ask them. The tests require 2 hours but we only get 1, which makes them practically impossible to do well on. She also forgets to post answer keys for her study guides, which are barely helpful to begin with. Pick a different calculus prof

She doesn't deserve to call herself a professor in any right as she doesn't teach. I have never seen or heard from Ms. Nguyen at all, after many emails. This class is operated by a paid service, Knewton Alta, awful attempt at online learning since it uses free 10 year old YouTube videos, and takes an entire day to complete a single lesson.

I really like Prof Nguyen as a person she's very funny and nice. But for calc 2 she didn't explain things great, skips steps (bad if visual learner) and wasn't prepared for the lesson being taught. The test were so hard. I did all the hw along with groupwork and still struggled on the exams. They were nothing like what we were doing in class.

A lot of homework and group work, which isn't graded. She only grades exams and some extra credit. Did all the homework and group work and still struggled a lot on exams. Exams were harder than the actual work in class. Great for calc 1, but not calc 2

I found Prof Nguyen to be a kind and funny individual but she wasn't a good teacher for calc 2. She gave attitude to students who asked more obvious questions. Skipped steps when showing examples. Personally she went a little to fast, I often had to watch YouTube lectures at home. I was so confident going into that first test. Average was a 40% ...

I really liked her class for M25A, but, unfortunately, M25B was not great. Close to half of the class dropped and many that remained were struggling to keep a C. Exams just didn't match the homework and groupwork in difficulty. Lectures weren't great and had to be supplemented with YouTube (Professor Leonard). I just can't recommend her for M25B.

I took her course without taking pre-calc so I was already at a disadvantage. This course is going to be difficult with any professor, but Mrs Nguyen makes it enjoyable. She's hilarious, knowledgeable, and she cares enough to be always be at office hours. I would definitely take her course again!

The professor uses an outside tool in Newton Alta as a lazy way to "teach." I don't recommend her online course to anyone, especially if you have a job. I have never seen so much homework from one class. It takes a whole day to finish just one lesson sometimes and that's if you have a free day to begin with.

Her ability to not care about her students baffles me. Every question I asked her about the course was met with “figure it out” and when I asked her for an extension because I was in the hospital she said no. The format of the class is easy because she doesn't teach it. I don't understand the point of having her as an instructor for the course

Im baffled that this is even a class because from the lack of care from the teacher and the insane work load, good luck keeping your mental health good with her. There is no structure other than a textbook and youtube videos that will get you through this class. She's getting paid to just grade and fail you. AVOID HER CLASSES LIKE THE PLAGUE

If you have asian parents, it's like you're taking a class by them, she's very degrading when trying to ask simple questions. She tries to make jokes but over time the course load just got too difficult for me and many students in which we chose to drop the class. You'll get asian parenting PTSD from her to the point it feels diminishing.

Calc 2 is a hard class, so be prepared to put in the time. She provided an occasional extra credit assignment, which helped greatly. Textbook homework is optional, but you definitely need to do it to understand all the topics. Shes a nice person and was helpful throughout the entirety of the class. Would recommend her over many of the other options

Calc is hard in general, but she claims "it's easy" and expects you to already know how to do all of it instead of actually teaching you how. Ridiculously fast lectures, no time to process any information at all. She's very funny and entertaining, I'll give her that. Also very diva and chic. But if you struggle with math at all... good luck...

She uses Knewton Alta to teach the entire course. I had to do at least 4 hours of work DAILY or even spending an entire day on it to keep up with the pacing of this class. The only interaction with the professor was through unhelpful, weekly chatgpt'd emails. Do NOT take this class if you have a job, go to camp, or want any level of a fun summer.

I have never had a math teacher that made me hate math as much as this one. OH BOY... Standard based grading, so you couldn't understand your grades, homework that doesn't match her tests or worksheets, terse language, but wants YOU to be precise. And no, you can't use lectures from a better professor to "help us".

She is really a very nice person but the exams are absolutely insane. They are worth pretty much your entire grade. The class average on the first was 60/100 and there is no grade curve and no extra credit opportunities. Her lectures also tend to be very rushed and have so much information to process it's insane. Calc 3 is hard, she made it harder.

experienced teacher that gives great guidance through difficult concepts. u NEED to either ask questions / go during office hours to succeed. Tests r hard but she will walk you through future test questions AT ANY TIME . My only complaint is how her students dont seem to get jokes?? Like she said she will fight us and someone complained cmon yo.

The averages on every single exam were never above a 45% and there were only 9 students in the class. She does not curve or round or give any extra credit. There are no lecture videos so all that you have to use to learn calc is the homework program Knewton Alta and its an extremely fast paced course.

A lot of the reviews are unfair here. She absolutely cares about her students and is fair with her tests. I am not a math guru, and I have survived her honors courses all the way up until Calc 3. You will be held to a standard but that is good for you in the long term. If you're just looking for an easy A you have no business in STEM.
