He's a great professor but he has to give the same assignments as other professors in the same section. He doesn't make the class difficult apart from a specific assignment given about once a week. Because he agrees that it is challenging, he really tries to help students out. Overall the best teacher you can get for this class.

Having a clicker in class is important for participation points. Quizzes make or break your grade.

Dr. Nguyen was a solid professor, hard class./

Nicest professor ever, but the class is hard.

Professor Hau is caring about programming and lectures prepared and passionately. I wouldn't recommend skipping class bc his powerpoints won't capture everything. Quizzes are related to reading and slide examples.

Prof is good guy. He cares, is enthusiastic, has a positive atmosphere. He's not the best at teaching, leaves some of gaps in lectures & the speed is very fast, esp. 4 new programmers. However, not entirely his fault. the course content in itself is rigorous/demanding. Not much he can do ab it. Wish there was more EC. Good guy, ok teachr, bad class

I took him for COMP 110 and am so happy I did. He is such a good teacher and is willing to listen to student feedback to improve the course.

The curriculum for comp110 at least was wonky. Expect lots of work and time on psa's (program solving assignments). Parter programming is required for all the programs. If you have taken a CS class in another language I highly recommend trying to test out of this class. Made us pay for a clicker (50$) and codelab (15$) neither of which were useful

Very knowledgeable professor. Wants his students to succeed but sometimes has difficulty explaining certain topics. Great professor overall. Unfortunately, a big portion of the final grade consists of weekly projects that are extremely advanced for a comp110 course and have little relation to what we learn in class. Not entirely his fault though.

Great teacher. Goes over material and shows you how to complete assignments if stuck. Offers lots of extra credit oopurtunities.

Nguyen is definitely the best comp 110 professor at USD. He is very kind, gives a lot of extra credit, and is really helpful with the PSAs unlike the other comp professors. If you have the chance to have him as your professor, do it.

Great teacher. You will understand excel pretty well after the course is over. Excel is more prominent in this class that the textbook material is.

This class wasn't hard - just stay on top of the assignments, and it's manageable. Would recommend.

Hau is a little all over the place, but if you create a schedule with all the the assignments in one place you'll get an A. There are weekly quizzes, discussion replies, and excel assignments, but if you keep up with them you're golden. Hardest part is the MOS exam, so study for that because it makes up a big part of your grade. Definitely take!

Cares about students, and well-liked!

I personally really liked this class! Professor Hau is super nice and really accessible outside of class. Lectures are not mandatory, he uploads them after class. Homework is pretty easy and he gives help on it in class. If you're good with learning things on your own you will do well. Definitely recommend taking this class!

Professor Hau is a great professor. He understands that students don't necessarily have a background in coding and is therefor easy on his students. If you are stuck with any problem you can ask him in class and he will go over the problem with everyone. There are no tests in this class, only the online textbook and a final in the end.

The professor was very understanding and amazing

Prof Nguyen is an excellent instructor. I would defiantly recommend him for information systems as he offers a lot of extra credit points, and the content isn't too difficult.

good prof for a basically online course. you dont need to go to class because everything you do is online. Having a PC helps though when doing hw away from a computer lab.

I think that this professor is good if you are taking ITMG 100, he gives the classes answered videos of all the projects after they have been completed and a lot of extra credit for the MOSS exam and also the final exam. I strongly recommend for this class.

The in class competitions make the class fun

This professor is super nice! Take him for a class and have a conversation with them, 10 out of 10.

The class is very well structured and he is an accessible Professor if you need any extra help

Was very flexible when it came to deadlines, but just make sure you do all the work week by week to make sure you don't fall behind

Professor Nguyen is amazing, he is helpful and very understanding. The class is pretty much self taught by an online program but he allows you to get all the work done on your own time rather than weekly assignments which is very nice if you can manage your time well. He also offers a zoom option if you can't make it to class or are feeling sick.

Pretty chill professor. He breaks the class into 2 deadlines, one due around midterm time and one around finals, so don't wait until the last minute to get everything done. If you do the practice quizzes, you'll have no problem passing the Microsoft Excel test.

bare minimum class. just do the cengage stuff, all the assignments are on quizlet, pass the certification exam, do the extra credit, and its an easy A. classes r also on zoom and he uploads class recordings so you only have to go every once in a while to class. super nice professor and easy class

Great class! There is only an online textbook where you complete all of your assignments. There is a final, but as long as you make an effort you'll do great.

Mostly a self taught class but if you are good at time management then it is easy! Make sure to study for the MOS exam and do all the extra credit.

With Professor Nguyen's Information Systems course being all remote, he is extremely lenient when it comes to attendance. He understands that classwork can be done at a students desired location, and only requires attendance for exams.

Really nice guy. Clearly knows how to program, so you can ask him anything. Does not talk down to you.

Dr. Nguyen is a very straightforward professor! At the beginning of the course, he makes his expectations very clear as you only have two major due dates. Attendance is not mandatory, because the majority of class time is dedicated to completing homework assignments. If you do the work, you'll get an A!

This class is mainly self-taught, but he is accessible during class or outside. He responds to emails fairly quickly if you have any confusions. He is very clear on when things are due and sends reminder emails as well. I would not wait until last minute to do the assignments and manage time well to do them.

During the class you are given a entry to zybooks which is where you will do assignments and where the material for the final will be on. You do assignments at your own pace and they are done at end of semester. The professor was helpful in class if you needed help completing a activity. Would recommend taking his class

This class is more of a teach yourself class and completing all of the assigned modules to become excel certified. Professor Nguyen was very chill and just wanted us to have everything complete.

It was a self lead class which is super nice but defiantly easy to get behind on since no clear due dates. If you do the homework you will do fine on the test.

Professor Nguyen is very laid back and chill. He genuinely wants you to succeed in the class, but he also gives you two big deadlines with a lot of work. As long as you stay on top of the material, it's an easy A.

He is a really laid back guy who wants you to succeed in his class. He does a great job preparing you for tests and makes the class asynchronous so you can do a lot of the work outside of class at you own pace.

The class is zoom compatable, so you don't always need to be present, except for extra credit opportunities and actual tests. You do have to put in some work to learn for the test.

Class is pretty much self taught. If you stay on top of things and dont get behind you will do very well.

Easy, just dont save the work for the very end. Spread it out.

he is fun

This class was very helpful in obtaining my excel certification! Most of the class content could be completed virtually and was very easy to get an A by completing assignments. The actual exams were somewhat challenging, but if you prepare and study, you should do fine!

Super cool guy!

Attendance is not mandatory and there is only 2 due dates for the entire semester so you are able to complete assignments at your own pace

Records every lecture and makes it clear when assignments are due. The amount of work is very doable and easy. Awesome professor, very excited about what he teaches. I would take him again.

It was a really great class. The course work was all online and easy to manage. Just set aside a certain amount of time a week and you will be all set!

Nguyen is a really chill teacher! He really wants his students to succeed and is available to help out. He made this class very interesting and as engaging as it could be!

Professor Nguyen is a very relaxed teacher. He is very understanding, and he even changed the date of our big exam since he noticed that students were behind in the class. The class does seem overwhelming, but he definitely tries his best to ensure that everyone does well on them. The MOS Exam is intimidating but the practice tests really help.

Not a hard class at all. Just make sure to stay on track with assignments. Professor Nguyen also offers lots of extra credit.

Great class just don't wait last minute to complete everything

a great teacher

Very chill professor, as long as you understand the homework assignments you'll pass the exam.

Professor is very good at communicating, flexible and very helpful.

I think that the class was well taught. There are zoom lectures posted after class with the projects we worked on. The course material was easily accessible.

This class is basically self taught. Make sure to keep up with the online assignments because they are all due on a certain date towards the end of the semester.

Professor responds to emails quickly and makes sure we are updated on the course

Great Professor. All your assignments are due on two dates, one in the beginning of the semester and one more time towards the end so do not procrastinate your work! put in effort and take advantage of extra credit and you'll be fine!

He responds to emails quickly if you need help. If you do the work ahead of time the class will be a breeze.

Was a easy class and very chill. Definitely a good professor to take for information systems.

It is a great class and content is relevant to common professions. The work is not difficult, but make sure to stay on track.

Kind & funny professor, doesn't require attendance, assignments are fairly easy- I recommend this course!

Professor Nguyen is very straightforward. He will tell you exactly what you need to get done. As long as you do the work you're gonna do great in the course

Professor Nguyen was very understanding of my personal situation and encouraged me to use zoom classes. I felt like he actually cared and that was nice. This class had a decent amount of work to be done but was a breeze because everything was clearly laid out in terms of what we needed to do and by when.

Great Professor, with very interactive, collaborative styles of teaching. Would definitely recommend.

Very relaxed, laid back class. Only two due dates so very flexible.

Professor Nguyens class was super laid back and he offered us a zoom option as well which was super convenient. He offers extra credit and the work he gives is work at your own pace. Would definitely recommend this class to anyone.

Honestly such an amazing professor. Take this class if you want to work at your own pace and still get an understanding of the content in class. Attendance is not mandatory, but coming to class is usually full of collaborative work. BEST CLASS TO TAKE FOR DSCI 303!! (no tests, final project, cengage homework and tasks)

Adding to the previous comment below, there are tests and quizzes that are taken Cengage. Very doable and align with all the readings and lectures. In addition there is a group project that encompasses all the work for the semester to test our knowledge on the course

TAKE THIs COURSE! Easiest A ever and overall chill class to regroup from other stresses of college. You will learn the material and overall be very happy if you put in the work. Mark my word you will not regret taking this class ... 12/10 class

He is a great professor, and class is not hard at all. I do not speak English as a native, but the material was easy to understand, and work could finish in the class. The only thing you might need to care can be that some work could be hard for those who do not know anything about excel.

Goat is all I gotta say. I would take this class you learn a lot. Self paced, 1-6 modules and you can redo the projects 3 times for a near perfect score.

I really enjoyed this class and the way Prof Nguyen organized it! There is a lot of homework, but if you follow his announcements and stay on top of things, you will succeed in this class!

Really nice professor, take his class!

hella easy

You can go at your own pace and there are only two due dates in the semester. It's not lecture based at all and you can retake the exams. Take this class.

Professor Nguyen was a great professor to have. Most of the work is online and he makes the grading criteria very clear in the beginning. He is all very reasonable when it come to grading and course load work. I would highly recommend him if you need a easy going class.

Everything is on Cengage so you can go at your own pace and there is one group project at the end. Overall a nice break from the rest of my classes because he is so nice and the grading is super clear. Definitely the easiest of the DSCI profs take him!

Overall pretty good class that is required to graduate. If you have to take it, take it with Professor Nguyen. Go at your own pace and just one final project. Very manageable.

Super easy class with online homework worth 75% of final grade and a final project/presentation which is 25% of your grade. Very easy and straightforward

I really enjoyed the reverse teaching style where you would learn on your own and then come to class to discuss what you learned. He was also very understanding when you had a problem with the work.

Professor Nguyen teaches a class that primarily relies on students for their own learning which is refreshing from many other classes at USD. You can go at your own pace and he is always there to help if needed.

Could complete class at our pace, super chill professor

He is very nice and not lecture heavy. Recommend Taking!!

Professor Nguyen is super chill and the course is really easy to follow. The class is structured around an online textbook where you perform tasks. In the first half, it is Microsoft Excel coursework designed to prep you for the MOS Exam in order to become Excel certified. No prior Excel background is required, and the exam uses skills from class.

I had Professor Nguyen for ITMG 100 and his class was super easy. Pretty much all of the work was completed at home and we had two months to finish it all. He knows his stuff and is very nice.

The course consists of Cengage homework problems and one group project at the end of the year. A Cengage subscription is required. The homework assignment are easy and the Professor goes over the homework assignment in class. Attendance is not mandatory and a pretty laid back class in general. I recommend taking this class if you want an easy A.

I enjoyed this class a lot. Attendance was not necessarily mandatory but I suggest going to class to get the assignments done. The professor is easy going and understanding. Class is self-paced but make sure to not leave everything to the last minute. I would definitely take this class again.

Professor Nguyen is a great professor, attendance is not mandatory and he is very respectable and flexible. Please be aware that you must do your part in the assignments, it is best to either do them all at once, or go to class to do the proper time spacing.

Great professor and easy class that requires you to be responsible for completing it time accordingly.

Super easy for ITMG 101 Just do the online work. Just beware of the 125$ fee needed to take the class

Class was self-paced which was easily my favorite part.

This course was very well organized, and best prepared me for the Excel certification exam. Professor Nguyen created a learning environment that was accessible to all!

Easy class, stay on top of work to get A

I would recommend this class due to it's helpful and useful skills. Work load is pretty light if you manage your time well, but it is very easy to get 100% on the online test, and online homeworks. A lot of extra credit opportunities are presented. Professor Nguyen sets you up to succeeded in this course!

Excellent and very helping

Awesome guy, super laid back

bro is mad chill but lowkey doesn't know anything about what he is teaching and just refers you to the online help

Very helpful, takes time to make sure students understand, and is flexible with deadlines if there are problems

Professor Nguyen was very effective, clear, understanding, and straightforward. Would highly recommend to take again

This was a great class. I feel like I learned a lot and it was definitley a managable workload. Also the professor is so chill and nice.

Really chill guy. Do the work and you should get an A.

Very insightful and prepares you well for the final exam

Very easy going professor. You get out what you put in in terms of course work. Hard not to pass in my opinion.

He's a cool guy. Class is primarily online doing MOS modules to pass the Excel test. You get what you put in and there is so many extra credit opportunities you'd have to try to not get an A out of this class.

Professor was great! Made it very easy to succeed in his class by making sure we had all the materials. Especially prepared us for the MOS exam through all the practice you're required to do in order to pass the class. One of the easiest As I've had at this university.

Great class. Allows for you to work at your own pace and reasonable exams that follow what we learn.

Class was mainly on zoom

He was really nice and we never had class in-person. Very easy

Great professor who cares about the lecture material and wants students to excel.

Clearly wants his students to pass. Great Professor, would take again.

For this class specifically, you do not have to attend class and the textbook is online, interactive, and easy. The exams are open-book, short, and multiple-choice. This is the easiest class at USD. The lax environment the professor makes actually helped me learn a ton about web programming. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

Very nice professor but attendance was not required and a lot of people never go to class. Would mostly hold classes on zoom and just help you when you got stuck going through the online book.

Easy class with a helpful professor. Just stay on top of the Zybooks and you'll do well. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for study prep too. Overall, a great course!

While I'm convinced that I could have performed just as well in this class with no professor at all it was nice to have professor nguyen there for the few times that I did need help. This class gives excel certification and for that reason alone I'd recommend this class regardless of professor.
