Professor Nguyen is a very helpful and clear with his lectures. If you are willing to study and go over the material he tells you to before an exam or quiz, you can easily get an A or B in his class.
Gia is a great professor! Makes the concepts clear to understand! Will work with you through the material if you are having difficulty with any concept! Will prepare you for quiz and exams you won't go wrong if choosing him(:
Taking a class with him right now and he's one of the best teachers for math
Bad bad bad math professor! Too much homework and hard tests. If you want to get a good grade take another professor, he will fail you! His lectures go way too fast and he expects a lot.
I took him for winter session and out of all the math teachers I've had he has been the best. Attendance is mandatory especially in winter. He gave us a lot of opportunities to receive extra credit, he also gives you practice exams so you are prepared. He loves getting feedback and he wants the best for his students. I totally recommend him.
statistics isn't an easy subject to begin with but he makes it understandable. he enjoys answering question & doesn't want u to hesitate to ask them. he wants all his students to succeed. he gives a good amount of hw & makes them due on test day that why u can use it to study. his test are made from quizzes and hw. formula sheets are allow on test
Took him in the fall. He lets you work in groups for class work. SOMETIMES in tests (he gave my class 2 group tests). Take notes and ask questions he's not mean about answering if you don't understand. GO UP TO THE BOARD! It doesn't matter if your answer is wrong you get Extra credit points!!!! It could be the difference between a 'B' and 'A'!!!
Mr. G, Nguyen is an AWESOME Professor! Math and I had a love and hate relationship, Mr. Nguyen reconnected us. I love math and I can't wait for next semester to continue learning more math problems.
Nguyen gives extra credit for participation in class. His lectures are paced pretty quickly, so make sure to pay attention. There's classwork too, so you have a chance to work with your classmates. There are plenty of Youtube videos to help you learn the concepts. He posts his notes that he writes in class on Canvas.
Professor Nguyen is by far the best Math Professor i have taken at Elac. Before him, i would absolutely hate going to my math class. This professor is the best by explaining the material in ways you'll understand. He gives real life examples which are very interesting. Goes above and beyond to help you prepare for his quizzes and exams.
This professor is awesome he is there to teach and will help you understand if you ask. Will explain well everyone will pass don't skip class and do hw and you will pass!! need book! Also he post notes on Canvas.
He is a great professor, is very clear on what he wants. Really cares about his students and if you try you'll likely pass but if you show no effort you won't pass. Is real clear on his lectures and will go over any material if necessary. He also provides study guides for exams, midterms, and the final. Gives extra credit for class participation.
Professor Gia is amazing. My first day there I came in hating Math. By the time I took my final I was going to miss his class. He really transformed my view of math after many years of avoiding it. I learned so much, I cannot thank him enough. He is fair, caring and has a gift for teaching in a way that makes sense. He class is fun.!!
He really cares for his students. You will need the book but only for homework. He tries his best to get his students to get it. If you still dont get it, you can see him before or after class. His tests and quizzes are exactly what he teaches and are not too hard nor easy. He assigns reviews as hw before an exam and is very useful to study off of.
very caring. has quzzes group quizzes and tests. explains everything very well. definitely take him and pay attention. He also doesnt give alot of homework
Professor Nguyen is the best. He has a very clear way to explain mathematics. He is available at office hours and he is very cool and laid back. His quizzes are in group and he is very understanding with those of us who struggle with math. take him, he is amazing!
Best math teacher at ELAC he truly cares about his students I would take professor Nguyen again!!!!
must attend class, gives extra credit, very lenient, group quizzes, must do homework and totally an AWESOME Professor.
I have no idea how this professor is getting such a high/positive rating. Perhaps everyone who took him was really good at math to begin with. unlike me, I have a very hard time taking math courses, so it was hard to keep up with his lectures. I feel that his note lectures aren't very clear, could get messy, and he doesn't highlight important steps
Best math professor I've ever taken! Attend every lecture, pay attention and ask questions! He really cares about making sure his students understand the material. Lectures are never boring as he has a charming sense of humor and encourages group work. He allowed one or two group quizzes throughout the semester.
Professor Nguyen is an amazing instructor. He always tries his best to make sure every student is caught up and always makes time outside of class to attend the students. He always posts the power points making it easy to look back and see what was taught. He gives quizzes for every chapter, some are group quizzes, some aren't. Great prof over all.
This professor has many great qualities I would definitely recommend him. He's helpful, organized, and patient. On your part, you would have to read the book and study to get an A. Available at office hours, extra credit, groups up in class, many quizzes and 4 exams.
Professor G is the best math instructor at ELAC, he does NOT want you to fail! He goes above and beyond and accommodate any needs you may have at the best of his abilities. If you are just looking for a passing grade, Get a C on the final and you will pass the class.
Professor G is a great professor for business calc. The course has tough formulas to learn and understand but the study guide overview he does before the exams significantly helped!! It's a tough class but professor G does his best in lectures and offers extra credit to those who participate and attempt the problems on the board. Overall take him!
I took this class in the summer and really had a great time. The professor is pretty clear with the lectures, if you studied your notes then you should be solid. I could've gotten an A if I didn't come so late for the Final and missed some questions. Overall I would recommend this professor as they are also very understanding.
Professor Gia is genuinely a great person inside and out. (BUSINESS CALC) He is always offering ways to help you do well and excel in his class. His practice exams are very helpful. Office hours would be helpful! Hes funny too ! Id say one of the best math professors youll have the opportunity to take at a community college.
Professor G is a great professor, I have taken him for Math: 115,125, and most recently 227(Stats). This was a difficult class but the professor was very good at breaking down the steps and explaining how we use these problems in our everyday lives. The class will consist of about 5 Group Quizzes, 4 Exams, 1 Final. Do the homework & classwork!
Professor Gia is definitely one of the best math professors at ELAC! If you struggle with math, please consider taking him! He does his very best to explain the material and goes over enough examples to help you familiarize with the problems. His study guides are similar to the test, and the tests are fair if you study! HW is not too bad. Take him!
Amazing professor! Took him for Math 125. Knowledgeable, caring and considerate. I got very fortunate to find him. He set me up for success and if he sees that you are trying your best he will acknowledge that. Will definitely take his class again for STATS
Super cool guy, he gives out study guides that really help you score high on your exam, so DO STUDY GUIDE , he does some of the problems in class .. lectures are very informative and are posted online after class. Ask questions and youll be ok ..
I loved Professor Nguyen! He cares about his students and gives you everything you need to know in the class. I didn't get the best grade but that was my own fault (accountability). Ask all the questions or reach out during office hours. One of the best professors I've had yet.
Difficult professor. I would not recommend. Gives a lot of homework and test.
Professor Gia is one of the best Math professors at Elac. Love the ways he's lecturing and very quickly answering all your concerns. I would recommend him, take his class you will definitely learn a lot of Math.
Prof. Nguyen is an amazing Math professor! I started from the bottom when it came to math, I began w/ Arithmetic and jumped straight to Pre-Stats then to Stats! I passed his Pre-stats w/ a B and the Stats w/ a C (took him for Winter sess). He was so helpful! Math wasn't a easy subject for me & taking it with him, I felt more than capable in passing
I'm taking his class right now and he is one of the very few professors who know how to teach kids and actually connect with them on a personal level
Love him! I never write reviews but I have to about him. I am taking him right now for pre-stats and I am actually doing good! Im not the best at math either, but his lectures are super clear and I am able to understand them. I will be taking him again for Stats in the summer.
he is a great math professor. He is really there to help you understand math. He will go over any math problem question you have from homework in the beginning of class or just any question in general. you will not regret taking him
If you come with the mindset that you want an A, and if you put in the learning necessary, you will get the A. It won't be the easiest A, nor the hardest- it's middle of road in terms of difficulty. Professor G is really nice and he cares about his students. His study guides are exactly like the tests, so do them and study them!
Great Math professor. He is well organized and goes over every material that will be on the tests and exams.
Took proof Nguyen during summer 2020, great teacher. You can tell he cares for his students. Lots of homework so make sure you pay attention during lectures. You are required to meet on zoom everyday of class in order to watch lessons. Exams and quizzes every week and homework everyday. Be on time because he starts right away.
His the best math proffesor. I am horrible in math and passed stats with an A. he cares about students success. weekly 5 problem quizzez. He goes over the mid term and final. He offers extra credit TAKE IT!!!
Best math teacher I've ever had. I took him for MATH227/137. I passed with a C which is unknown for my math courses, I usually have to repeat. He allows group quiz work, and encourages class group work which is always helpful. Exams are difficult, but he always reviews and will go over the exams as a class. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS OFFICE HOURS.
I am currently taking Professor Nguyen for fall 2020. All of his lectures are online and he does record them so if you don't go to class you can access the lectures regardless. I really suck at math so his class was perfect, he doesn't skip steps. There are 7 quizzes, 3 exams, and 1 final. His class is easy to pass.
Professor G should be the nation-wide example of how online classes should be. He lectures so well and he cares about his students. What you put into the class is the grade you will get. There aren't too many teachers like him in academia. Don't hesitate to take him.
Professor Nguyen is a caring and funny guy. His prestats course consisted of daily homework 7 weekly quizez, 3 exams, and a final. He provides a study guide for all exams (VERY SIMILAR TO THE STUDYGUIDE). If you have questions on the homework he will happily go over any problem JUST ASK! Great course prep for stats!! GREAT PROFESSOR OVERAL!
Professor Nguyen is a nice and caring professor. He is very clear in his notes and his class was one of my favorite classes probably my favorite professor. If professor Nguyen is open and you need to take the math class choose him and you won't be disappointed.
He was my first teacher as a freshman for pre-calculus (math 260).He was so understanding,i wasn,t doing well at first then spoke to him during office hours about my grades and struggles and he was quite understanding and became dedicated in making me pass.i still go to him for advice on my other classes
I retook Stats to boost my C. Let me tell you, Stats is not easy, but Professor GIA makes it easy to understand. He gives a lot of homework, but it'll help you on the tests. He goes over Exam Review which is very similar to the tests. And he uploads class notes for you to use. Wonderful Teacher! He gives extra credit for participation & on tests.
Gia Nguyen is very caring and helpful. Mr. Nguyen made a good impact on my online learning and math experience. Hands down Professor Nguyen is the best professor I've had and all you need to really do is to make sure you understand the notes and homework and that' all. He'll always love to help if you need any and he'll take the time to help you
Favorite math professor. Makes learning stats so much easier and fun. Exams are based on quizzes and reviews. Lots of homework but he goes over it in class in detail so you can understand it better. Replaces your lowest test score with the final which is cumulative. Really caring and super approachable!
Professor Nguyen is one of the best teachers I have ever had! He's very patient, his teaching style is amazing, he gives reviews before exams and helps you learn in a fun and welcoming environment. He gives you all the tools you need, if you study and ask for help(if you need it), you'll pass. Highly recommend. I'm taking him again next semester!
One of the best math professors anyone can ask for. From the beginning of the semester he lets known clear that he wants everyone to pass and that he'll do whatever he can to make he's lecture clear and material understandable. The homework he gives out is directly taken from lessons he teaches. Gives extra credit for those people that participate.
If youre scared of math, take Prof Nguyen because he will help you face your fears. He is excellent at teaching stats and makes us work smarter, not harder. Before taking his class, my math skills werent great but he helped me change that. Dont hesitate to take his class because hes the best math professor out there!
This was my first math class in 7 years! I just finish taking his Math 227S class this summer semester and lectures are truly the best. He takes it slow breaking down everything to a simple level and checks with everyone to see if they understand where the numbers came from and how to use the calculator. His exams are based off notes/lectures 10/10
I took Math227 this summer and Professor Nguyen was one of the best professors I've ever had! I was so nervous to take this class, but Professor Nguyen was very knowledgable and caring. He spent time with our class breaking down problems to make sure we understood the work. Def recommend!
If math is your weakest subject, Prof Nguyen will breakdown and explain everything to you. Do not be afraid to ask questions during his lectures. This was my first math class in years and I aced it thanks to his lectures. This was the best math class I have ever had and 10/10 would recommend to absolutely everyone. I took this course Summer 2021
Professor Nguyen is an awesome professor! if you have not taken math for a while take him you will not regret it I took him for the fall for math 137 and winter class 227 stats in person. I was nervous about taking math but he help you understand the material goes over the homework and he very caring toward his students.
If you want a professor who cares and is willing to help you understand the material I highly suggest you take him because although he may provide a lot of homework it really helps during quizzes and exams.
Took math 137 was overall a pretty easy class. He took his time helping if we didn't understand. Would definitely recommend taking his class.
Was the best math class I ever took :)
Strongly recommend taking this professor for any math class. He makes the learning process easy and is very understanding. Loves answering questions and does his best to make sure everyone is comprehending the material.
He has enough good ratings as it is, but I just finished my final and I really need to let it be known that this is seriously the best teacher I ever had. He is very polite, well spoken, understanding, and patient. He is incredibly clear and thorough in his lectures. He lets you make cheat sheets for every exam. I hated math until I took him.
Professor Nguyen was an amazing professor. Do your homework and study you will be able to A"s this class. It does get a little difficult but as long as you follow his instructions you will be fine. I got a C due to personal reasons, but he was very supportive and worked with me to retake exams and quizzes. always available for office hours.
Has already written notes that he goes over during lectures. Along with that he does group quizzes and provides study reviews and the use of one single paper with notes for quizzes and tests. Would definitely take him again, just make time to review and go over material and you are sure to pass! If you are bad at math, I recommend his class!
Professor Nguyen is very passionate about helping us students learn. As long as I did the assigned work, I was able to understand the quizzes and tests. He gives out a reasonable amount of homework and gives his students time to understand the lesson before moving onto the next. Math is NOT my strong subject but the way he taught us made it easy.
Great class if math is your weakest subject! Professor G is funny and has very clear and well structured notes to teach the class. A lot of support is given and as long as you do the homework and study for your tests you will pass.
Best Professor! From start, stay focused because if you don't you will be lost. Practice your review exam and you will be fine. ASK QUESTIONS.
i would just say if you have a learning disability you should just as if you can record his letures because when i took him on Spring 2022 i got really confused on some of the stuff that he was lecturing about for example the graphs part when he explain it to the class.. he lets you make up exams or quiz .
Tries his best to help out students. Hw load was very reasonable. Allowed late work, just email it to him. Quizzes are grouped where you can talk and work with others. Someone in a group can receive 2 points extra credit on a quiz. Very flexible with assignments and tests as long as you communicated it. Tests are similar to the review assignment.
I had Professor Nguyen for Math 261 and 262 (Calculus 1 and 2) and he was very accommodating to all of his students. His lectures were great and he's lenient with late work. For quizzes, you get to work with a group and for exams, you can use cheat sheets. I'm not that great at math, but Professor Nguyen sets you up for success.
The professor is very good at explaining and breaking down what he teaches which makes it easy to understand the subject he teaches. Additionally the homework he provides and exam reviews are also extremely helpful.
Great Professor! I took this course during 5 weeks this summer, he broke down the material really nicely and made it easy to understand. His tests and quizzes are exactly like his practice problems and he gives test reviews that are almost identical to the tests. I highly recommend.
this was my third time taking statistics and prof N made very easy to understand, he also had a tutor available to help you out. I do recommend going to the SI sessions because it does help a lot. Also pay attention and do not miss class because you will be lost but overall I really did enjoy his class.
I would like to say he is best among best. Have never seen such professor that is so patient and take you steps by steps in Math Class. He actually is born to be a professor.
TAKE this Professor!! He is the best, he made this semester very fun and relaxing. Math is not my strongest subject at all and he helped me pass this class with an A. Take him! You will not regret it.
I have to say, he was very nice. As long as you have any questions, he can explain it to you in detail. I really like his class. Best professor!
If you are looking for easy Math Good luck because there is no such thing but if you are looking for Feel Free and ask any Question Environment this is the Professor for That.
Amazing professor that does everything he can to help you succeed, absolutely no reason to fail this course.
No doubt the best professor ever at ELAC! The teaching method is so fun and hilarious, and easy to understand. Unlike any other professor, Gia makes math not boring. I wish he teaches upper-level math but overall, he's my favorite teacher ever.
Just wanted ti share how great a professor G Nguyen
Professor Nguyen is very nice. The exams are the same as the practice exams. My only "issue" would be that the class is too easy and he does not teach the topics very in-depth. I kind of wish he spent more time going over series/sequences.
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD AT ELAC!!! I have already taken his courses in Precalculus, Calculus 1, and Calculus 2. I could say that the difficulty was fair, not too hard but not too easy, to be honest.
BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD AT ELAC!!! I have already taken his courses in Precalculus, Calculus 1, and Calculus 2. I would say the difficulty of the courses was fair, not too hard but not too easy, to be honest.
Best professor hands down, took him for stats, pre cal and will also take him for cal 1. He will always answer any questions you have and help you out. Definitely recommend!
One of the best professors at ELAC. Made learning easy, especially on harder subjects within math. The notes and homework are all online & easy to find. One of the nicest professors I've had. Highly recommend, especially if you need that extra push in your math courses.
Im the type of person who did not like math and was second guessing taking this class, Im glad I did go forward with taking it.Professor Nguyen was very helpful and patient when I did not understand something. He is very strict with deadlines for homework and test etc.Only reason why you would not pass is not showing up for lectures or labs.
Excellent professor, made his own notes and gives out class work to give a better understanding of the material. It was easy to approach and ask questions, and he made the classroom a great environment to learn in. By far the best math professor in the department.
Professor Nguyen is amazing!! I've never been strong in math but the professor really took his time to make sure everyone in the class understood the lessons. He makes his own notes that you can print straight from canvas that are easy to understand. Make sure you try to attend as many tutoring sessions as you can they really do help a lot.
