This is a difficult class, but it's not because Mr. Phan is a difficult teacher, it's because I have hard time with the content, so it's not his fault. The only criticism is that I can't really follow what he says when we take notes and I get the steps mixed up.

Hes a very good explainer and hell go over a lot of examples if you need it. Ask questions, take good notes, pay attention, do your homework (you get unlimited attempts), and stay off your phone. Dont expect an easy A though. You will have to understand the content and study to make a great grade.

He be having a basic haircut everyday. Only cut it once the whole semester. He be dressing very casual basic. Always trying to flex his money with his Gucci laptop bag and his enormous iPad. He tries to be cool like his students. Im Asian too and I felt like he really tries to be me. But overall probably one of my FAVORITE teachers. Fun guy.

Duc (pronounced Duke) is a caring teacher. I took his class in the summer and I was scared because it was a calculus class in the summer but it turned out to be a good class. The homeworks are online. The exams are just like the homeworks. His lectures are easy to understand. He lets students put homework problems on the board and we solve it.

Professor Phan is a cool guy. I don't know why but the man doesn't like reviews. He knows what he teaches but he's that type of professor that loves to challenge his students for no reason especially on an exam. I take his Pre-Cal final in a few days and I just need some prayers guys. Over all cool guy, and good teacher but an A isn't easy.

To be honest, his class isnt worth it. His Pre-Cal class is harder than the actual Pre-Cal. He tries to make the test hard and gives a short period of time to do it. Half the class dropped mid semester! Hes a chill guy but the class is too hard for no apparent reason. He has reviews but they dont help!

This was genuinely the worst class I have ever taken. He will open up the online version of the book on the board, lecture on the absolute basics of the chapter. When I would get to the homework, it would be FULL of these incredibly advanced questions that were not covered in the lecture. The tests were even worse. At least half the class failed.

This class was the worst stats class ever. I just took the final and I failed it so badly because first of all: he didn't give us a review??? On top of that he told us the final would be multiple choice and 50 questions, plus over everything. The final was over like 2 of the tests, only 25 questions, and very few were actually multiple choice.
