She spends too much time writing on the board and doesn't really know how to answer questions in clear cut way. Makes too many mistakes when solving problems on the board, and just makes things more confusing. She goes based on the book and goes way too fast in her lectures. take her only if you're super good at math.

She's an absolute sweetheart and deeply caring. I had her in-person and we were graded on two things: homework and exams. The latter was based on the former so study the homework and possibly do the even numbers, too. My only complaint is that she was a bit too easy and as a STEM major, you should NOT be taking the easy route.

Prof. Nguyen is great. She gives about 60 points extra credit (which can be a whole letter grade) which is very generous. 4 tests, a final, and lots of homework. She does have a very thick accent, but if you can deal with that, she is a lovely woman that truly cares about her students and is passionate about mathematics. 10/10 and would take again

Nguyens teaching style is difficult to follow, she mumbles a lot, she can be a bit crass, her syllabus reads like a warning. Final is most of your grade, "homework' is busywork only 10% of grade. If you have anxiety or on the spectrum consider another professor too many triggers, save your GPA

She cares about her students and is great at explaining the math, but don't take her for a 5wk online class. She expects you to learn at the same rate as if it was a full semester. It's just not reasonable. Such massive amounts of work and studying are impossible to finish in 40 hours a week. I haven't seen another prof assign this much in 5 weeks.
