EXCELLENT TEACHER. HAS PASSION FOR HIS WORK
Best teacher ever!! Very clear, funny, and helpful. Really cares about you passing.
Mr. Bui was a great teacher as long as u come to class on time (within 15mins after that, i think thats his pet peeve and gives u look!) But his teachings are great, if u don't understand he will take time to go back over a subject.
Love BUI what a great person to learn math from!!!
Bui is a great teacher I actually look foward to going to class....He is just all around an Excellent Math teacher.
Greatest math teacher that ever existed.
Mr. Bui is an excellent instructor. He really explains concepts on a layman's level that are easily understood. He is excited about teaching Algebra and it shows - he can be funny at times too! Take Bui for ALL your math requirements.
This man will go out of his way to make sure you understand the material. He's a great person and a great teacher. VERY highly recommended. His classes are never boring.
Wonderful teacher. Never has a dull moment in his class. If you pay attention and go to class there is no way not to pass his class. Hery helpful and makes sure you learn the material. I would recommed this teacher to everyone that feels they are bad or hate math!!!!!
He is incredible...very helpful and funny....TOTALLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I always believed that I coud not fathom math. I was afraid of it, and convinced I would fail, until I met Mr. Bui. He is passionate about teaching, and cares about his students progress. He is funny, as well as clear. I still can't believe I got an A! Take his classes you won't be sorry!
Bui is a great teacher. He is patient and explains everything very well. He makes a class most people would usually dread going to fun. He makes you laugh, while doing math!
best math teacher ever!
Greatest teacher ever!!
HE IS SO HARD ! AND TALKS TO FAST !!
Very helpful in getting his students to understand the material. Have taken more then one class with him and wiil take another in the furture.
Everyone told me how great he was. Had to drop him. He never finshed his problems, expected that you knew how too??? He was very confussing to me. Never explained all the way. Figured you knew it.
Indeed, he expects that you know how to do some things already and goes pretty fast during lectures. The idea is: you should know it. You should pay close attention at all times and ask questions if you don't understand. Other than that, his tests are fairly easy. He gives a lot of book homework, and some online homework. Good for practice.
Great sense of humor, will explain anything if asked. Takes time to make sure you are clear on the process of the problem. Tests are farely easy, lets you know exactly what is on them. Book homework and online, but not to much that you do not have time for other things. I would recommend him to anyone.
I never understood math and I hated math until I took his class. He makes sure that you understand. It helps if you go to every class and show up on time (it's like that w/ everyone). I would definately recommend!!
Mr.Bui was such a great prof! He is one of the best profs that you will come across at HCC and he truly cares about his students. Only downside is all of the homework and he tends to go a little fast in his lectures but all you have to do is ask him for help. He has a great sense of humor as well!
he is a good teacher, very clear and does not mind answering questions. i have taken for 2 of my 3 math classes and i think he is a great teacher. he makes it fun and likes to make his class laugh. i would recommend him to anyone.
I wish every professor that taught at HCC was like Mr. Bui. Not only did he take the time and make sure each student understood but he also made math fun, what a feat indeed. Three cheers for Professor Bui and I would recommend him to everyone!!
Bui is a great professor, and very professional. I really enjoyed having him and he makes learning fun! Problems with math? Take Bui! If only he would teach higher math classes i would take him every time.
Aw man, why doesn't he teach higher math classes? He was a great and fun teacher who, you could tell, really enjoyed math (he said so his self, "math turns me on" "we Asians love the strange things" haha) If you suck at math, make sure you choose him as your math teacher. He'll make you love math! <3
Mr. Bui is an excellent teacher. He is willing to go the extra mile to help understand the class. He doesn't make you feel uncomfortable about not understanding something. He is funny and he makes this class enjoyable. I would recommend him for this class and any other class that you can take him for.
Math has always been my least favorite subject but I actually enjoyed this class! He's funny and makes everything a lot easier to understand. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
Professor Bui is awesome! He made his class as enjoyable as possible. I hate math...I still hate math but I do understand the concepts more than every. He will do everything he can to help you pass the class and pass the exam. I worked hard but I couldn't have done it without Professor Bui! Take his class!
LOVE LOVE LOVE Mr. Bui! He is so awesome! He is so helpful and will teach it til EVERYONE in the class understands it. Works with you if you can"t make it to class. But don't BS him! TAKE HIM!
I LOVE Mr.Bui. He is the best teacher in the world. He makes the class go soo fast by making it fun and making it easy to learn the materials. The test are soo much like the class materials no surprises unlike other teachers! He is very understanding and helpfull 100% of the time. I wish he would teach every single math class I have to take.
Well, I got a C in the class, but that has a lot to do with me not completing the homework. Listen to the guy as best you can and you should be able to do well. I found him to be quite attractive, so that kept me interested as well.
Mr. Bui. Is awesome! He make math FUN! He is very helpful. Mr. Bui is very funny and keeps the class fun and stressfree! He is a great asset to HCC!! I wish he taught higher math!! A MUst take!!He does not use the book eighter so leave that HEAVY book HOME!!!!:)
MR.BUI ROCKS! No disrespect to the others, but HE is the best math teacher at HCC!! He makes me excited about math and makes me wanna do EVER SINGLE problem in the book for fun! Just kiding, but overall, he is a great teacher!! WOO HOOO!! HE ROCKS !!!
One of the greatest teachers I've had in my life. He will always be remember as the funny professor! He made me enjoy and learn to love math! He brings humor & fun to math so you learn to like it if not love it. I wish I could have him every semester for math. Explains everything fluidy! guarantee A! DEFINATELY RECOMMEND!
I have to say Mr. Bui is the best teacher I've ever had!!! His teaching skills make it to where anyone and everyone can understand. Math in his class was so easy to understand nobody should get below a B. I loved Mr. Buis attitude and humor and loved having him as my professor! TAKE HIM!!!
Excellent Teacher with excellent skills. I would definitly recommend him for someone whos looking for a fun class and a great proffessor easy A.
Best math teacher ever! He could teach math to a rock. He's that good.
He is awesome! He is serious about what he deos and treats you like an independant adult. Missing one a class can really hurt you, so be committed when you pick him. He will get you ready for the next level with confidence.
Awesome teacher. One of the best I've ever had. He is extremely helpful and goes out of his way for his students. Class is fun; he has a great sense of humor. I definatly recomend this teacher.
Mr. Bui is, by far, the best mathematics teacher I have ever encountered. He is so excited about math and eager to teach thoroughly until you understand. I used to have a hard time comprehending Algebra without constant repetition, but now I understand and enjoy it better than I ever have before. I wish he was teaching the next level, too!
Great teacher.....listens to you, does very well at teaching, makes little jokes so your not bored, makes sure you understand everything said, loves his job.
He is fabulous....take this guy and you will make it thru algebra. Mr.Bui has a great sense of humor that helps too. He definately wants his students to do well and it shows!!
Awesome teacher..........will work with you and help you succeed in this course.
EXCELLENT INSTUCTOR! Do not hesitate to take this teacher. He makes algebra easy to understand. I was new to algebra. Mr. Bui made it fun and easy to learn. He is very approachable & will explain the concept over & over & over again.He will give examples until you understand it. Patient and very willing to help the student. Take Him!
This is one of the best teachers i've every had. He is very understanding and will work with you on a one to one basis. You don't even need a book. I would recommend this teacher to anyone who doesn't do well in math cause he will make you understand and goes to the end to help you pass his class.
Very good instructor.Do not be tardy or he deducts points from test. if you go everyday you should not have a problem in the class understanding, he teaches at a level that makes you learn it and is always willing to go over it again and again. i Highly Recommend him!
Great teacher, I highly recommend this guy. Anyone who can make me understand and like a subject I have hated for years if a FREAKING GENIUS in my book!!!
He is very helpful,funny and is great at explaining math. He is in his office at 8:30 eating his yogurt if you have questions and great at responding to emails. Would love to take his class again.
Heineken is amazing! I have always hated math and its always been hell sitting through math classes! Hein is a miracle worker, I look forward to class and I actually missed it during break between summer and fall! Everyone request this professor!!! Promise you'll love the class! and you will understand math completely!
Great teacher.... love his class
awesome teacher had him last yr and got an a+. This guy is a genius. I wish all math teachers were like him. then i wud surely ace math courses everytime!!!
I learned things I never thought I could learn in math from him! In high school I failed my last year of math because the teacher didn't teach. I learned more from him than years of math put together. Very interesting and kept everyone's attention. Very clear in his teaching. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
LOVED HIS CLASS
EXTRAORDINARY TEACHER....MATH HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER TO ME BEFORE I HAD HIS CLASS.
Just four word "HE IS THE BEST", this is my third semester with him and i dont take him next semester because he does not theach what i need.
Just 4 words "He is the Best".
Amazing teacher! Will give you lessons step by step and make it easy to understand. He is absolutely hilarious! Makes jokes left and right and keeps the class interesting. He is a perfect choice for people taking algebra. He knows "the ancient chinese secret" :]
Bui is an AMAZING teacher, I took him for MAT0024 and MAT1033 and I wish I could take him for MAC1105. He has a unique way of explaining math concepts, so if your one of those non-math people (like me) who really struggles in math, TAKE HIM! He has a great sense of humor, he's super cute, and he can seriously rock a pair of jeans! ;D <3 Bui!
Instructor Bui is a wonderful teacher. He teaches math where it is easy to understand and grasp. I love Mr. Bui as an instructor. He is very funny and he is out to help his students as much as he can.He is very dedicated to teaching and takes his job serious. Please take Bui..He is so great!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE MR. BUI!! HE IS A EXCELLENT MATH TEACHER FOR THOSE THAT DONT LIKE MATH, HE MAKES IT FUN TO LEARN AND HE WON'T GO TO ANOTHER CHAPTER TILL HE KNOWS THAT YOU UNDERSTAND. I WOULD RECOMMEND BUI TO ANYONE. AND HE IS REALLY FUNNY TOO!! SCOUT'S HONOR!!!
Take him he is amazing! I hate math but he makes it fun and bearable!!
I only took him for Inter. Algebra, so i can't say it was hard. he is strict, but gives x-tra credit, only gives quizes, final is mandatory, I THINK HE IS VERY FUNNY AND DEFENETLY MAKES MATH A FUN SUBJECT.
Just three words, He is AWSOME!!!
Great teacher, good teaching style, made sure everyone "got it" before he moved on, Mandatory final was only downfall, weekly quizzes were great
He is here for US (THE STUDENTS). He clearly loves his job and is an amazing teacher. He really helped refresh my math skills and is totally there if you need him. He is such a passionate teacher and every professor should follow in his example. He doesn't move on with a subject until everyone understands. His weekly quizes help a lot! Take him!!
hes straight
The best Math teacher in HCC..So nice and helpful teacher.♥
A wonderful professor! Makes learning math actually enjoyable!
He is very funny, and loves to teach math. He makes it plain and simple :)
Amazing teacher...really loves teaching. if you go to class and pay attention you will do fine. Gives quizzes once a week which is helpful bc it helps us learn that way to don't get boomed with this huge math test. I took him for 2 semesters in a row and i wish he would teach pass college algebra.
He is an exceptional teacher. Really cares about his students. He makes sure everyone is crystal clear before he moves on to the next topic. He just writes on the board for notes and examples, but he gives tons of examples and is very thorough when explaining things. I wish he taught college algebra! I will miss him!
Awesome teacher! Very clear and explains EVERY step clearly! Passionate and concerned about his student's grades! Alot of information, but it's presented in a timely way. Take him!
my first math teacher at this school and i seriously recommend him. wish i could take all my math classes with him....scared to see what it might be taking math with a different teacher ; / take him you will have no regrets!! i promise!!
GreaT teacher! I hated math before him! I love him!! He taught me when no one else could!!
One of the best teachers I have ever Had! He is funny and makes learning interesting. Highly Recommend him! Doesn't really give the boring equations he mostly does examples which made it easier for me to learn. Works with the students very well.
All of the previous positive posts were absolutely right: BUI IS AMAZING! He makes math interesting so it's always worth it to show up for his class lectures. He teaches lots of information, but is very clear when explaining things, and doesn't move on if anybody is lost. He also posted practice tests online for us that made our tests very easy.
This guy will make you forget you are learning math. He is by far that best teacher I have ever had for math. Bui will elaborate numbers in a way that anyone can understand. His classes are so entertaining that you will not want to miss one. Besides Bui does not use books and with all the optional practice test he gives, you can't fail his class.
don't take him, he is nothing but hard, doesn't give extra credit compare to like other teachers and he talks really fast and he move on subject really fast so if you going to his class you gotta b paying attention 100% other wise you will b lost. he is very strict and his test are hard and expect you to know everything his going to teach
Great Teacher! super funny! I hated math before taking his class! we dont use a text book so thats a plus! He makes you forget your learning math! Very helpful! I wish he taught all math classes! Definitely recommend him!
Honestly he is a good teacher but i don't agree with a lot of things he does. 1- he does not give extra credit at all. his kinda full of him self from teaching. 3- test r super hard and he will take off all points from a lil mistakes. 4-takes off every 2points from your test if you missed lower your test. so if you take him be ready for all this.
I've had Mr. Bui now for two semesters (MAT-0028/MAT-1033). He is by far the best math teacher I've ever had. He is helpful, kind, and entertaining; you can tell he cares about his students. Some people have issues about the tests but honestly -- he gives you every chance to succeed. Just study (the concept) and you'll be fine.
He is honestly the best professor anyone could have. Very helpful towards students, will always be there to help you with they work. Always gives the students the best end out of anything. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM! I never liked math until him, he helped me undertsand and now i am an A student in math
Mr. Bui is probably the best (if not the best) math professor at HCC. The man is genuinely kind and wants his students to succeed. He also is very entertaining as a professor and attempts to make the connection with his students. You'd be missing out if you didn't take his class. It's a shame he doesn't teach MAC-1105.
i took 1024, 1028 with mcnamara yet both I got A's but i took 1033 with Bui and i did everything possible to get atleast a B yet i got C on his class so all these comments under me only saying that cuz they eiter have him for first time or they been taking him for previous math math classes but for you guys to said his the best teacher in hcc WRONG
Bui is pretty tricky.. they are 6 tests and 1 final and he does not drop lowest test, they r no extra credit sometimes he give you like a big problem n if you have it right he give you 5points on your test which is nothing, he does not do test corrections and no review before take a test. his teaching is good but not the best and tests r hard
if i found no oneelse to teach math bui willbe the last choice for me, heexpect you understand math like he is. thanx tohim put my GPA down i had 4.0 now ihave 3.8 just cuz of hisclass imade big mistake for taking him. NOT recomended n im being honest and telling the truth. if you not math person defenitly stick with teachers give test corrections
I don't think his bad teacher but I think last semester he was pretty bad. I had same problem to I solve the extra credit 5 points so i forgot to put it on my first test and he didn't care at all and told me was too late?? i was so mad. all I needed was 5 points to get an A so now i have B on my grade im so mad. i would never take him again.
Doesn't care too much about attendance. Tests are very hard if you don't do the homework and prepare for the tests. Handwriting on the board is sometimes hard to decipher. But overall, not that bad of a professor. he thinks his the best but it's not his asian and you know how all asian thinks about when it comes for math that they are very smart.
3words. don't take him.
he is an okey teacher.. he does move very fast and they are no reviews before test. no extra credit either but that's just his way... so b prepare.if your good with math you shouldn't find it hard if not his not the guy for you he doesn't go out of his way to help you out if your suck at math he'll tell you go to to tutoring program. test are hard.
This teacher was extremely helpful. He may go fast but he will slow down if you ask him too. Attendance it mandatory, there is online homework,and if you know you will not be attending class, notify him before. If you need help at all he will help you. He is very down to earth, humors and entertaining. He will help you to learn.
Hien Bui is an excellent professor. he funny, and very helpful, even if you simply forgot how to do a relatively simple problem. I gave him a 4/5 for clarity because his accent is sometimes difficult to understand, but he will repeat himself without a big deal if you ask. All the homework was done online, I didn't even have to buy the textbook.
It is amazing how the very same people who bash Mr. Bui on here cannot even spell simple words correctly to convey their thoughts. Maybe some of you should learn your abc's before you try the 123's. Bui is awesome by the way take him!!!
Best teacher ever!TAKE HIM !
Bui is amazing. I was horrible at math, and had failed the same class prior to taking him, and I got an A in his class. He helps you with anything you need, and is never worried about taking out extra time to explain things to people. He also gives you extra chances to catch up if you are behind in class. He is funny too! :)
This is the best teacher you can ever get for math classes. He don't teach by the text book but show u the easiest an most effective ways to solve a problem, Easy A if u are not a slacker and pay attention
For 1033 I recommend all to take him as he is the best teacher ever! He gives you extra points towards your test which starts off as 5 pts. You do not need a text book as all homework, quizes and some test are done through mathxl.
Great guy, he keeps you laughing the through whole class and uses a lot of hilarious examples of the lesson to keep your attention. He does go a little fast but its easy to catch up with because he keeps you entertained, take lots of notes and make sure not to text in class.
Mr. Bui is a great teacher, if wish I had been in his math0028 to start and follow his concept of math. I recommend anyone who have doubts about math to take his classes. He is funny, hilarious and explains really well.
BEST. MATH. TEACHER. EVER. He knows ancient Chineese secrets, you guys.
Really good professor! Thanks to him, I finally understand math like I'm supposed to. Thank you prof.Bui! All the wining babies at the bottom complaining, suck it up and work harder, it's college, not high school you babies. Bui is a great professor overall.
He was a great teacher I felt like a math genius after his class. He helped me understand math. In high school I sucked but in his class I became really good.
Best math teacher in the US I promise, his way of teaching makes even those who dislike anything about math, he's funny and he's very skilled at getting down to the point with out confusing you.
omggggggg what a great professor!!! I just started his class based off this site, and he is amazing. he's helpful , funny smart and the best teacher you can have. im so happy I looked on this site weeks ago before i signed up for his class and im so happy i did. bui you freaking rock!
BEST.MATH. TEACHER. take him! he explains everything so well! i never understood math until he taught it his way!
I didn't understand his style of teaching. He really goes fast. I never took algebra or even pre-algebra. So math was a foreign language. I need one on one and he wasn't able to give the time that I require. He know is math I don't so its wasn't a help to me. I actually came to the decision college is not for me
Very funny, he relates his lectures to the outside world, he is a bit fast but gives multiple examples to help out. As long as you take notes and how up for class you will definantly pass!
Bui is amazing math teacher. when ever i had a problem about math he showed me on day to day way of seeing the problem. If ever there was a math teacher that you should take I was say SIGN UP FOR MR. BUI CLASS YOU WOULD LOVE HIM.
He is great thanks you prof. Bui
Hien Bui makes math a fun subject to learn and to understand the subject more better. He is a great teacher who is really for his students. Hien Bui tries his best to help his students to succeed.
Best math teacher ever! I owe all my success to him!
A very knowledgeable Professor who understands that not everyone is going into a math field. He might explain things in terms that are a little too simple, especially for those learners who need real world examples. He sometimes gets a little mixed up on the way the book teaches something. He knows what he's doing, just doesn't convey it well.
Really makes sure you understand the math in front of you. Breaks it down in the simplest manner. Not a fan of math but he made it easy and simple to understand.
Professor Bui is amazing! He makes the most difficult equations seem so easy. He really does dumb every thing down. He offers extra help outside of class such as meeting at Starbuck, but you really won't need it! He is very kind and will go out of his way to make sure all of his students understand what he is teaching. Excellent professor!
Great professor gives you chances to make up work, explains everything clear and gives you examples to understand the material better.
Took him for both inter & college algebra! A for both!! Never had such an incredible instructor, I cannot stress this enough, TAKE HIM! Walks around room & helps students individually, makes jokes & tells stories so you can relate to the subject & will do whatever it takes to help you. I wish he taught every subject. Thank you for everything prof!!
Math is my biggest headache. In his class I was able to understand and do really good on my tests. He is great. I would definitely take him again just make sure you do your homework because at the end it will make a big difference in your grade.
He really was just a help because my class was online so I really didn't need his help that much.
He was a great teacher. He uses myMathLab heavily instead of canvas. All your homework will be on myMathLab and they give you three tries to get the correct answer and if you still don't get it then you can keep trying till you do. The lectures aren't for an attendance grade but if you miss then you'll have to rely on myMathLab. Online code needed.
Professor was awesome! He is very clear about what is expected. If you keep up with the homework (using MyMathLab) and study his pretests you will do well. He presented the material very clearly and in an entertaining way. Would definitely recommend him!
I took him for two classes and highly recommend this professor to anyone taking math classes at this school. I found him to be helpful, funny, and supportive; if you had trouble, he was more than willing to explain.
If you're struggling with Math, he is an excellent help. In my first year with him as my teacher, he was marvelous!!
i had to take this class over after failing the semester before with another teacher. BUI is the best Algebra professor around. he explains things on a different level and makes sure you understand it. I am getting an A right now with only a few weeks left in class. Im normally the worst at math but he has helped me see another side of this class
He is a very funny! His style of teaching is kind of fast but just take notes and you'll be fine.
best math teacher at HCC. Highly recommend
If you want to take him you have to work hard to pass this class. I only needed 1% to get b in his class but he refused and didn't gave to me .
He is great! He will stay after class to help out students. He tries his very best to make sure everyone in the class understands the material. He will answer to MML questions. He makes jokes about himself and likes to have fun teaching. Highly recommend for Pre-Calc!!
Prof. Bui is a great math teacher! He's very patient and explains clearly the curriculum at hand. He's very lenient about homework, just be cautious that you don't fall behind and have to do it all in one day. He stays behind in class and answers questions/ goes further on the subject. He's a great teacher to take for Intermediate Algebra!
He explains very well
I used this site when picking my classes and found that Mr. Bui was the "best" math professor. THANK GOD! Everyone was right. He has such a unique way of making students understand math. He genuinely cares about his students. Not only would I take him again, I already am taking him for the second semester in a row! Attend class, you'll pass.
Professor Bui is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He will have you laughing during every lecture. He really cares about his students and takes extra time to make sure everyone understands. Tests are worth 60% of the grade, but if you do the reviews and homework you will pass the tests.
OH my gosh!!! He's all time my favorite teacher. Answers your questions PLUS more, i can not say enough good things about him. He's hilarious, one class a kid came in and wasn't paying attention so he called on him as a joke and when he couldn't answer it, Bui sniffed the expo marker and say "y'all sniffing the wrong stuff". Must take kinda guy!!
Awesome professor
Hilarious can go at a fast pace but its adaptable
I am about to finish his Pre-Calc class with a 99% as a dual-enrolled high school junior. Although I haven't had great experiences with any of my math teachers since 8th grade, I absolutely LOVE Professor Bui. He is extremely understanding about my high school schedule, and is an amazing teacher. His tests are exactly like his reviews. Take him!!
Bui is amazing. Its like he is born to teach he is relatable, easy going, and challenges you.
I've never understood math but he really takes his time to explain and make sure you understand the criteria, sometimes he will explain one problem three different ways to make sure everyone understands because he gets that we all prefer/interpret different methods. He wants you to pass I would really recommend him
Professor Bui is the greatest teacher I have ever had the pleasure to study under. I hated math with all my heart because I could never understand it. Thanks to his class I now know all the things that will help me pass my future classes. He truly cares about his students future and will help you whenever needed .
Good teacher, sometimes a bit too fast. He makes the class fun, and interesting. Has faith in all of his students.
Mr. Bui is amazing! He will break down any problem to your level of understanding and will even show you different ways to figure problems. He also offers extra credit.
Professor Bui is amazing professor. He helped me understand math and is great at giving you the best ways to solve a problem. He is very hilarious. I would recommend to anyone that needs to take a math class here.
He is a very good teacher and makes class interesting if you do not like math. His teaching methods could help anyone, and he is very understanding if you have to miss class. I would recommend him over anyone
Amazing professor 10000% recommend made my 8am Pre calc not so bad keeps the mood light and makes sure you know what is going on he is clear and fair on grading great lectures NOT BORING!!
Awesome professor. Provides study guides for each test on mymathlab and the study guides are the EXACT SAME QUESTIONS like the test, he just changes the numbers. Hilarious during class and makes a lot of jokes. HW on mathlab is only 17 questions at the max. If you do the study guide and turn it into him on test day, he will add 2 pts to your test.
Professor Bui is great! I absolutely hate math and any time I ever did not understand something I could ask and he was very good at explaining it in a way I could understand. I would 100% take him again. At the beginning of the semester my grandfather passed away and he worked with me getting me on track with no problem!
BEST MATH PROFESSOR EVER! I'm not the best at math, but he made it super easy and fun, his class was my favorite one of the semester. He is very nice, and gives a lot of extra credit, plus the tests are super easy.
Professor Bui is great. He made math very easy and interesting subject. The way he explains algebraic problems was very good and understandable. He taught us some tricks to solve problems that I would never forget. I really liked the way he teaches. He is so funny too.
I loved Professor Bui. His lectures were filled with many examples and made sure most of the class did understand the material. He has practice tests for the exam that if you do them you get extra credit. His practice tests are very similar to the exam. Come to class, ask questions, do homework, study and you'll pass.
Professor Bui is amazing. I took his MAT 0028 and MAT1033 8 weeks each, so both in one semester only. Advisors were telling me that an 8 week course for both courses was going to be hard, but the truth is that Professor Bui made it really fun and easy-going. I definitely recommend him!
Professor Bui is honestly the BEST Professor I have ever had in the history of Ever! I had to retake MAT1033 and was scared to death of failing. But he uses the ALEKS system instead of MyMathLab, and is ALWAYS available via email to answer any and all questions quickly! He motivates you to keep trying and is just a true gem! So grateful for him!
Amazing math teacher i hated math but he literally turned that around. Probably the best math teacher Ive ever had!!!!
All Im gonna say is WHEre HAS HE BEEN ALL MY LIFE?? Love him
I could've very easily tested out of this course, but I decided to take it for a little refresher. It was super boring bc of that, but Hien Bui is a great prof. He clearly cares about his students--which is highly respectable. He sent an email asking if I was doing okay because I didn't access ALEKS for a while, most profs never notice.
By far the BEST math Professor I have ever had! The best communication, checked in often with the class and updated us on our individual progress. Looking forward to taking his next class!
He is always reminding you before time to submit your assignments and always sends you encouraging messages.
He explains very good, will make you love math, just lots of my math lab work.
Very funny, makes lectures enjoyable even if you don't like math. Tests are really easy. There are practice tests that you can do to prepare for the test and the test itself is even easier than the practice test. If you complete the practice test and turn it in, you get two extra points added to your test. Take this prof, you won't regret it.
Professor Hien Bui is a cool dude, his way of teaching feels like I'm in a casino, and he says pick a card, pick a card. He explains things super fast & throws in a few jokes but that isn't going to explain why the math problem is the math problem. He is there for you in person & responds to emails quickly. Get ready for lots of tests and homework.
Amazing teacher I 100% recommend him, if you are looking at this just register for the class. He makes lectures soooo fun!
Amazing teacher, if you are reading this just register for the class, lectures are super fun. We don't really have quizzes but main grades come form the tests.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! He's a super caring professor. This class is an easy A and definitely for someone that likes to go at their own pace. Although it's super easy, keep up with your stuff and you'll end up with an A. I wish I could take him for College Algebra.
I hate math, but he makes the class so fun and bearable that math became my favorite lecture. Just take him, he makes math easier to learn.
Professor Bui is one of the best Math Professors that HCC has to offer. I'm a person who is terrible at math; however, because of Professor Bui, I have grown to love math. Our class had four unit exams and one final. He also reviews the unit exam, which is identical to the tests. If you turn the review in, he'll add 2 pts to your test.
I took him for pre calculus algebra and he is by far the best math professor I have ever had. If you do the practice tests you practically already passed because the problems are very similar. He has a very hyper active personality and cracks many jokes but he always explained how to solve the problems with high detail. I would take his class again
Mr.Bui is an amazing math professor. He makes the coursework easy to understand. He doesn't just show how to do the problem, but he explains why the problem is solved the way it is, and the fundamental mathematics going on. If you do the practice tests, you will do well in the class.
Homeworks are all aleks. Doesn't really give out extra credit and if you did 100% on assignments, quizzes,tests, pie, but managed to fail the exams you wont pass the class. basically, exam holds alot of your grade and theres 1 midterm exam and 1 final exam. He cares about the students as he messages them privately but still a tough grader.
I can't speak for the online experience but he's really good at the lectures. He's caring and he does give small bits of extra credit if you participate and actively do the study guides. The lectures are easy to follow and the homework is on a website I don't really like but if you do them (6-20q's) you can pass with a B if you're not a test-taker.
Literally the greatest! I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend if your are someone who is thinking about taking Math online.... he is super responsive to any questions you may have, shows that he cares about your progress, gives great insight on all assignments/exams/tests, and in my opinion very lenient. Take him!!
Very caring and encouraging. He uses the Aleks system for a semester it costs about $65. I found it easy to use and flexible if you are a busy person. He has plenty of resources on canvas to help you if you're struggling, and will sit down with you to help you during office hours.
AMAZINGG, would take him a thousand more times if I could. Lecture is so good no one really has to ask questions. He is patient, kind, and hilarious! I recommend 100/10. All you have to do is pay $60 for the Aleks course and he gives a 2 week free trial.
I took this class online which was managed by ALEKS. His grading weight is very test-heavy, and discussion boards did little to help your grade. Completing homework, topics, & practice quizzes minimally affects your grade. If you tank a test, it's extremely difficult to recover. I'm sure he's better in person, but online is not efficient.
Most sweetest, humorous, and intelligent teacher ever. I definitely recommend for those who struggle in math because he never skips a step (very repetitive). He is Viet so he has a slight accent but it's nothing people can't understand. Aleks heavy but it's very easy. Wish I could have him for every math class.
The tests were very hard/ 2-3+ HW with one quiz every week. The the professor is ok but has a strong accent. He goes over a lesson one time and moves to the next one so we were expected to learn like 3 different topics in one hour at 8 am with a 50min drive and honestly I don't blame myself for getting F.I could not understand a word he was saying
Mr. Bui was a great professor! He explained what we did in class and always sent canvas messages to remind us of our next test and to study. He would also go back to the tests (and quizzes) we would take and grade it to check if the system marked us wrong. He would also give us partial credit. He does not give extra credit. But still a good prof!
He deserves a 100/5 rating! Before taking his class, I would've said math was my least favorite subject but he explains things in a way that is easy to understand. If you don't get it, he will work with you. Very kind and understanding! Seriously cannot say enough good things! If you're trying to find a good math teacher, YOU FOUND HIM!!
Professor Bui makes math fun and bearable. Lectures are super engaging, though the material can be challenging. I found Unstuck ai super helpful for staying on top of the frequent tests and homework. Overall, a great class if you put in the work.
Throughout my entire education I have never had a teacher as incredible as him. For so long I thought I had a learning disability, but it was just the teachers I had. He makes things so easy to understand, is so thoughtful, and makes every class worth waking up for. PLEASE, if you're questioning who to take for algebra, pick Prof. Bui !!!
I LOVE mr.bui he was my intermediate algebra teacher and i understood everything. i saw someone say something about his accent, its not strong whatsoever, if you don't understand english then maybe, but its easy to understand. i failed college alg last semester, thought i was dumb but mr.bui made it SO easy and fun. tests are multiple choice!
There are two homework assignments and a quiz due every week, and 5 tests in total. He's very easy to pay attention to, but sometimes he overcomplicates things, making learning harder. From reading his reviews, I thought I would enjoy his class more.
THE BEST! I loved his class so much. I actually understood math, his class was so easy. Yes there is homework and a quiz due every week but trust doing it helps get you a good score on the test. His accent is not heavy at all, never once did someone not understand him lol. He is a great professor i would recommend and he's also funny.
Extremely kind, funny, and passionate professor! Fairly strong accent but he makes sure everyone can understand and see the board where he is doing work. The only reason I got a B was because I didn't study for the final but I'd advise using the study guide he puts on Canvas and the practice tests on Pearson for the other 4 tests.
Lots of homework but helps you understand. Wish I could take this professor for Mac1105 next semester!
He is a caring and understanding teacher. He cares about his students and always asks his students one by one if we are okay and need help in every class! He can go fast sometimes, but he is always willing to answer questions. I recommend him, he makes math easier and we only get about 2 assignments and 2 quizzes a week but they are very easy.
I took the online course, which had me worried as math is my worst subject. Mr. Hien was very kind and sympathetic, fixing grades on tests if you got the -/+ wrong, giving extensions, reminding you personally to take a quiz, etc. He supplied multiple ways to help students learn (lectures, worksheets, programs, readings,...). Class was 10/10
Mr. Hien Bui is the best professor All of the assignments are completed through ALEKS. There are only 3 quiz with 25 questions and the exam 33 questions all on Honorlock. final exam he provides a review with 60 questions videos if needed. he also puts videos if needed help on modules. I would absolutely take his class again 10000/10!
Professor Bui was an excellent communicator and accommodated me when I reached out with personal concerns. The class is online using the ALEKS platform which is super easy to use, and surprisingly helped me learn some concepts unlike most online learning extensions. From someone who hates math, this course was stress free.
For my semester he was trying out once a week for two hours lectures. He quickly realized that was a mistake for everyone. Said he would give the grade you wanted because of this. In the end he didn't. He teaches well but doesn't stick to his word. The course isn't hard if you're disciplined and pay attention. He was ok but we got screwed bc of him
