Very good professor. Explains things clearly, although he has occasional English grammar issues. Very helpful. Encourages student input while solving problems on the board. Strict on deadlines. Tests are hard, but grading is lenient. I thought I blew the final, but somehow I got an A in the class.

Math is not my thing but Professor Nong is a great teacher. He explains everything thoroughly and will go over it again if you don't understand it. He assigns a lot of homework but that's what he bases his exams on. If you have trouble with homework, email him and he will get back to you on same day.

he was a great teacher, the notes he gave were a bit hard to understand, so i taught myself from the book. attendance isn't required but it gets you on his good side. very helpful & lenient. mathlabs will kill you. all in all a great teacher TAKE HIM :)

There's no other way to explain Mr. Nong than AWESOME. MTH 4 can be the class from hell depending on who you take the course with - Mr. Nong made it rico suave with a cherry ontop. He is patient, helpful, & super smart. Has no attitude about answering questions & sincerely wants students to do well. He should get an award for being so awesome.#BEST

Great teacher. He has a heavy accent but is funny when he says jokes. he challenges you but makes sure that you understand the stuff. teaches many life lesson too. Take him if only you are willing to put forth the effort.

His class could be hard. If you pay attention and do homework then it would be fine. I didn't use the book much only to do the homework. He is a nice professor and very helpful.

He's very patient and his class is easy to pass if you just do the work! He grades hw for completion, gives lots of points opportunities and is a very fair grader. He's a bit hard to understand because he has an accent but if you pay attention it should be no problem!

He's a wonderful teacher who expects you to work for your grade. Ask him questions and do your homework and you'll be fine. He is very fair on grading and will help you with anything.

A lot of homework so don't wait until the week of the exam to do them. Overall good professor and a funny guy.

Whoa, reviewer below - bitter much? I took Mr. Nong for MTH 4, 151, & 152. I've taken math courses with 6+ math instructors on this campus & Mr. Nong takes the cake as being THE BEST. I'm far from being a "straight A" student but I've done consistently well in his classes. Yes, he has an accent but he teaches very well. Take his class = #WINNING!

I used to HATE math. I almost quit NVCC because my degree required it - after 18 years (not includ. preschool yrs) of hating math, Mr. Nong changed my perception of math. I mean, it's still not my fav subject, but now it's doable and I actually understand the material. Yes, there's homework but it really is easy points. Thank you so much, Mr. Nong!

He does have an accent, but he really wants you to learn. So if you have questions, just ask him; he'll be more than happy to help you. I am a straight A student and I got A in this class too. Even though I hate math! A lot of homework, but it helps you practice and understand the subject.

A solid, helpful professor whose class isn't painfully difficult. He bases his exams heavily on in class material as opposed to homework -- success depends on diligent note-taking. Kumnit has a genuine interest in teaching and I would happily take any of his courses in the future.

Very good teacher!

probably one of the best math teachers ive had, hes young, so that helps. He really knows the material, and the exams are rough, but he allows a notecard which is a total plus! Definitely take him!

Took his 151 course as well. Class is straight to the point. Goes over the homework if you want him to. The exam is pretty much based off of what he teaches and the homework. He has an accent but comprehensible. He's young and a fair grader. Great teacher.

GOOD things: he teaches very clearly. class is not mandatory. home work and project is 25% of your grade. he is extremely GENEROUS in grading. he helps a lot in Octave project and almost solve all problems for you. you have home take exams. you can drop one exam. BAD things: his exams are 70% doable. 20% extremely hard and 10% terrible!

He's very lenient on grading. Must study on your own. He's a little unorganized. But he's very helpful and is willing to help.

Nong is sharp. Exams are hard, but the grading will reflect your actual standing reasonably. If you've had easy classes all your life and want to see what a hard class looks like, you will be rewarded if you put in the work and the boost it gives to your confidence is priceless. Liked it more than my previous joke-easy class.

think you like math? take this professor,he will teach you things that you didn't even know relate to math. Was it a hard class = YES it is calculus :D.Did i learn from my mistakes yes. Did i end up getting a good grade :D YES.He said to us not to recommend his class to people that want an easy grade.If you are up for a challenge take him hes GOOD

Take him if you 're interesting in math and not for grades. His test hard? Yes; however, you can learn something that you don't. Do the homework that you give him in the class, it will be in the test.

In many ways, Mr. Nong prepared me and motivated me to take Pre-calculus--even though it wasn't a requirement for my major. He is NOT easy, but if you pay attention and ask for help, he will find a way to make sure you know the information. He'll make you think outside the box--which is what you'll NEED to be able to do after you graduate. :)

He is so sweet. Eventhough I didn't have math for the last 3 years. He write down the problem and solve it on the board so you can write down and stop him if you dont understand. Homework is a littlee too much but other than that he is great

Nice guy, chill professor. He makes a genuine effort to teach the subject. However, his knowledge of Diff Eq was about on par with my knowledge of Calc I/II. That is, enough to do well on tests but not enough to teach. He makes mistakes while explaining things and backtracks quite a bit. Tests are very easy (the problems are from the book).

If you are looking for an easy math class, steer CLEAR of this guy. While he's extremely helpful and always insists you receive help from him, his tests are very, very, very difficult, and the further down we went through the semester, the more sense he didn't make while teaching. Also: You have to purchase a $90 online code to turn in HW/quizzes.

Differential Equations, Fall 2012. Very relaxed guy. Very fair and honest grader. No graded homework but if you don't study, you will fail this class. 2 computer programming projects that are difficult but not impossible - just don't wait until the last minute. I would take a class taught by him again.

Took diffeq fall 2012. If u r a self-taught student, strongly recommend. Attendance is not mandatory, and there are 2 mid-terms and a final. If u wanna ace in his exams, DO THE HOMEWORKS. His exam questions are mostly from the homeworks, and if u know how to solve hw problems, u can succeed in his exams. However, his two computer projects were pain

He is a very chill professor. He tries to keep the class interested with some analogies that's related to the material. Exams are easier than the quizzes, can't stress enough of the importance of doing the HW in his class. Very helpful in after class/office hours. If you're willing to put in the work I strongly recommend him.

Take his class. He is a very good teacher. I did not like math before because I could not understand any material that those teacher teach me at all. Although, after i take Prof. Nong class, i learn much better. People say he is a hard teacher, it is true. But he is hard because he need students to learn more.

take his class. He is the best teacher. He is funny and smart.

Fair grader and nice person. He teaches well but sometimes is not clear about some subjects. His 3 exams are mostly based on homework assignments. Computer projects we kind of hard but still doable. Overall, I enjoyed his class.

He is funny, smart and also a fair grader. If you do you homework, you should be fine on his exams. He is also happy to help you if you have any problem with the lesson. I would recommend his class to anyone who really want to learn Calculus.

He is a good teacher. He knows how to teach. Fair grader and fair homework assignment. Take his class. He is the best.

Prof. Nong is a wonderful person. Love him.

I learn more when I take his class. Prof. Nong is the best.

I love this guy. He actually teaches you what you need and why you need it, he gave us tricky tests in the beginning of the semester and then made up our lost grades with extra credit that he let us optionally earn. He wants you to challenge yourself and understand mathematics and he is also very funny.

Mr. Nong is a funny but serious man. Hes is willing to help the students that put in effort for his class. every class was worth it and his strategy in explaining allows all students to understand how math works. He is really good at explaining. Always ask questions because he knows what he is doing. I was very lucky to have him as a teacher.

Do the homework. Ask questions and get his help- He is very helpful. The homework and in class notes are pretty similar to his exams. Calc is hard, but he teaches well and if you study it goes well. He's a good prof.

Keep in mind this was a SUMMER COURSE 2015. Gives multiple real life examples, great analogy and career field(major) example of where it can be utilized. He knows his teachings and more. Gives break and lunch so we don't get exhausted. His accent is not perfect but if you don't fixate on it and try to understand the lecture you will be fine.

He is very smart. His accent is pretty easy to understand. If you take notes and ask questions you will do well. He gives out a computer project where you have to approximate integrals with different methods. If you ask him for help on it he will explain to you what you are doing wrong. He is a good teacher. And take advantage of the extra credit.

Overall I'd take him again. There is a lot of HW which will help for the test. Accent wan't an issue, he will try to explain above and beyond if you have any doubt until you get it. He takes HW via email if you miss class. Book is a must, HW is taken from it weekly.

This stud, by the name on Kumnit Nong, will open a new dimension of math for you. My brother took him and also had a great experience. He's a tough guy so you must work hard for a good grade. He uses great real life experiences, and great engineering examples. The computer projects are fun and challenging. I would retake in a heart beat.

Prof Nong is definitely the best math teacher I've ever had. A lot of homework, but not too much given the material. He doesn't require attendance, but it's a good idea to go because he's great at explaining the material in an understandable way. Tests were fair, even a little easy. He has an accent, but he speaks clearly and is easy to understand.

I've never had a funny math teacher until Kumnit, but it really makes a difference. He teaches a lot of math classes, but will still give time to help you out. Grade is largely determined by tests which are short The . questions are from the book but usually the hardest version of the concept.. Beats the hell out of taking a real math class

He explains all material very well and is willing to help you with any questions even outside of class. His lectures are very helpful and his tests are reasonable given the difficulty calculus. He is an easy-going teacher who explains the subject very well. He always curved our grades up. If you attend class and pay attention you will pass.

Professor Kumnit is a great professor. Easy going and he is really funny too.

Professor Nong is really funny and easy going. He gives amazing lectures, and explains concepts or equations with real life examples. He is an easy greater, let you bring in cheat sheets for the tests. However, there are 3 computer projects that takes 15% of your grades. If you are not familiar with basic coding, it would be very time consuming.

He is one of the finest prof. I have ever had. 3 exams (one is take home). For homework, just do something to practice the material and he will consider it. Summer classes are hard but if you give time to the subject and attend classes regularly, then its an easy A. Except summer, all sessions have computer projects. Overall really nice and caring.

Took him for summer, he was great

Great Mathematician! My Dream professor ever. Amazing lecture with real world explanations. I recommend for everyone who are pursuing in any Math related fields.

Amazing professor! Took him spring ans summer and had a great experience with maths. Tests totally depends upon H.W. so do it for understanding not for completion. He grades incomplete hw also. Easily accessible outside and will give you a lot of extra opportunities for extra curricular if u are interested. Take him, you will love it.

He's one of the best professors I've had a class with. I got a B cuz I couldn't spend time on preparing for the exams. If he wasn't that great I'd have ended up with less than that without preparation. So he's great yes

I took my calculus class with professor Nong last semester and he was chill. you just need to do all your homework and you will be good for the tests.

Prof Nong's class is incredibly hard and stressful but the man truly does want you to pass. He's also an all around great dude. I liked him lots. He hints at what'll be on the exam and the tests are heavily inspired from the HW. There are 3 computing projects and DON'T procrastinate on them(I did)! Most importantly, study your homework! It'll help!

As you might have observed already, as time progresses, the ratings get more and more positive. I was thinking how on earth is Mr. Nong rated 3.4? It seems like he changed A LOT, because, speaking as of now, he definitely is a great professor. Everyone in the class seems to like him. He is so funny and cares about his students a great deal.

Prof Nong does a good job teaching the material and as long as you do the homework he is available to answer any questions about it. His lectures are hilarious and informative. Despite what he might say, he actually cares about people who do the work passing the class and will give extra credit and curve tests.

Ive taken 2 MTH271 courses failed the first one and in this course I got a B. In my opinion hes a way easier professor then others and he lets you have a note card with formulas for every exam. I took a 6 week course 3 exams and homework due every exam.

Not easy to find professors like him. Prof. Nong's lectures are hilarous and really informative, and he makes Calc seem very intuitive. As long as you keep up with the homework assignments, and attend his lectures, it's not that hard to get a good grade whilst having a good time. I'd definitely take his courses again.

THE BEST !!!! Professor Nong is the best math teacher I have ever had. He cares about you. Gives lots of homework problems and tests are almost exactly the same if not easier. Do yourself a favor and take his class. He has a slight accent. He makes lots of sexist jokes, I find them funny but if you are sensitive about that then dont take his class.

He is a great professor as well as a human being. He really does care for his students and he does his best to teach the the problems in a way that is so simple even a monkey could learn (that is a compliment) if you fail his class its because you did not try at all. Match his same efforts and you will pass. He's a real gem!

I took this class over the summer and it was a lot of work but if u show up to EVERY class, pay attention, PRACTICE the problems, you'll be fine. I cannot stress enough how great of a professor he is though, the best one at nova, because he does his best to get everyone understanding the material and he truly truly cares about his students!!!!

Professor NONG is awesome, makes math absolutely easy. Not only will you learn math but also real life material that you can use in your daily life. He really does care about you, if you have a question he will answer it with many details. I cant wait to take Cal 2 with him.

Take this professor. He is somewhat fast paced for an already difficult course but he gave us 2 very generous extra credit opportunities (about 10 points total on OVERALL grade). He also really cares about involvement and progressing each students future in the math field regardless of field of study.

As easy as Calc 2 and LA Can Get I took him for Calc 2 and Linear Algebra got an A in both, Good Aspects - Note cards on Exams - Extremely Funny - Makes math easy to understand - Lots of extra Credit Be aware - Computer programs are a bit challenging (easier on Linear algebra than calc 2) - A lot of homework in calc 2 (much less in LA)

Professer Kong is awesome! He will really help you understand the material, he cares for his students, he wants you to pass and learn. If he is hard on you It is because he wants to push you to do better. Take his class you won't regret It!!!!!

Professor Nong is a funny dude. He brings real life situations into class to try and make it not boring. Attendance isn't mandatory, however, if you don't show up, you miss a lot of vital information like when tests and projects are due. He curves the grade so you can get the best grade possible. Do your work and it's an easy A.

Took him for pre-calc, he was great teacher and understands that everyone is just trying to get their degree and move on. Gives awesome notes and lectures, goes over the test right after you take it, explain/answers questions clearly. U should show up to his class because its definitely worth it since he's a great teacher. Attendance is not graded

He's the best prof.

Dont miss a class and you will get an A. Lets you have a sheet cheat during exams, so you dont really need to memorize formulas. He does not give extra credit nor curves grades, however, he is an easy grader and will give you some credit even if you didnt get the answer correct.

In my opinion he is a great professor. He actually tries to teach his students the foundations and important concepts necessary to solve problems. He does not expect them to remember every identity or formula, but rather be able to use the very basic one to derive the one you are trying to use. Does lots of examples in class as well.

he is a good instructor. The materials on the test were actually covered in class including homework questions and lecture examples. Pay attention and don't skip class because you will be behind if you do. He is easy to reach and gives us exact sections to study for the exams. If you are focused and a good notetaker, this professor is for you.

He knows how to solve basically anything. Sometimes goes a bit too fast but he is very knowledgeable and his lectures are never boring. Yes exams are hard, but the computer projects and homework boost the grade so much. He literally walks you through the computer projects.. Great teacher, sad I cannot take him for calc III.

Three exams One Final and HW on Aleks. There was a TON of homework and it took me forever to accomplish it. I learned a lot and you will if you do it as intended. Kids I talked to in class that were struggling didn't do the hw or tried to cram it all before the test. Every test has extra credit and the way he grades tests is heavily in your favour.

If you want an easy class, this class is not for you. He gives us lots of homework and he do not take attendance. HOWEVER, I guarantee you the techniques he teaches in class was amazing! I used to think he was tough until I enroll with a different professor, then I realized the way he explained was so much easier to follow.

Keeps class very entertaining and keeps you very engaged in lecture. For the summer Cal 2 course, we had homework that he graded by hand so dont worry about webassign!

Professor Nong is one of the best professor I have ever had. His class is informative and also entertaining. During the class we take notes and do examples. He also tells us a lot of stories. If you come to the class before the test we go over everything that will be on the test and we are also allowed one page/notecard notes. Would recommend him.

Professor Nong is generally a nice professor. He will try his best to make sure that you understand the material. DO NOT be afraid to ask questions, he encourages it a lot. Attendance is not mandatory but it is very important that you show up to class. It is test heavy so it is important to study the material. Fun class in general.

Prof Nong is good lecturer. I chose him at random after checking his rate. I was worried bc it was my 1year of college and I had never taken a class before or chosen my own professors. When a high school class get difficult, we all want to switch to a less difficult subject, but that's not the case bc I recently realized that the prof.

Easily the best professor I've had in my life. Very entertaining and often hilarious lectures that tie back to the course material in a clear way. Lots of hw and tests make up big portion of the grade, but if you do all the work it will be worth it in the end -- not only will you get good grade but you will build knowledge.

Professor Nong class is very different than other professors. He talks a lot about outside of class stuff which I found to be very fu, but some people might not like. Our class was 30% H.W 30% Midterm and 40% Final. We are allowed a note sheet on exam but his exams are hard. Overall, I would take him again. His style of teaching is very different

Great professor, made class entertaining and the math easy to understand. Let us know exactly what would be on the exams. Highly recommend.

Professor Nong is very knowledgeable about his topics, his explanations are clear and easy to understand. The only problem I have with the class is that he often goes off-topic with things that aren't necessarily related to what we learning. There are 2 tests, midterms (30% final grade) and finals (40% final grade). They're both open-notes.

He is kind and understating of circumstances. Take him if you want peace of mind with math. He is supper cool and I enjoy all his lectures. Personally I like the side stories because it helps and he always involve great ideas in it. Just listen to him

Professor tied what we were learning to real world situations, even tied new business ideas w it. Lectures were funny. Gave Exam answers in lectures, had reviews for exams the day before, HW is a completion grade. Professor really set the standard that he cares that you know the information more than the actual grade itself. 11/10 best prof no cap

Professor Nong is one go the best math professors I could ever ask for. Tests are open notes and match notes taken in lectures. He genuinely cares for students and is very helpful. He will sidetrack lectures, but that's only to give students a break from numbers and engage the class in a funny joke. I definitely will take him again in the Fall!

Professor Nong was generally a good teacher but not exceptional. He is very funny which makes lectures entertaining however he seemed to fail to see where students were struggling during the semester. I will also mention that if you have a hard time understanding professors with thick accents, then he is not the right professor for you.

For me, he is one of the best professor for math. he made me realize that "how math's works in real world?" give awesome idea and excellent teaching techniques.

He has a very profound understanding of math and is able to communicate very complex topics in an easy-to-understand format. He does assign a lot of homework, but it is not required to complete. He gives reviews before the exam, and you don't have to buy the textbook for his class because he provides a free pfd version.

Amazing and easy-to-understand lectures and all the unit exams and final exam were from the daily lectures that he gave.

Amazing Teacher

Prof. Nong is a good guy. He wants you to understand what you're doing instead of memorizing formulas. That being said, you have to put in the work for this class or else you will not pass. Also, DO THE HOMEWORK, it can save your grade. 3 exams which are not that bad, usually have 1 question that could trip you up. Study hard and you should be good

Professor Nong goes at a decent pace and stops and listens intently to all questions. He shows many examples and explains them all in detail and relates them to real life. He gives lots of time for Homework and appropriate credit for hard work. He is also flexible in meeting and provides zoom availability.

Prof. Nong's class is challenging but engaging. He teaches beyond textbooks, making math relatable. Unstuckstudy and practice tests helped me grasp tricky concepts. Tough exams, but attend class and do homework to ace this course.

This is a great professor, makes lecture topics easy to understand by giving real-life (sometimes personal) examples. Encourages discussion heavily but always listens and gives good responses, 3 exams all semester but they're heavily weighted for your grade, and MAKE SURE TO DO THE HOMEWORK as it can save your grade if you don't do very well

Not sure why people don't like him, he actually cares abt the students and them learning. He talks a lot though, but I hope he gets his ted talk one day honestly cause it's interesting sometimes. Curved our exams, and puts his number on syllabus. Time in class to answer our questions. Genuinely recommend.

He actually made math easy to understand and gave real life examples. He cares about students, if you have questions or need help he will help you. Also gives homework but if you do good on the exams you will be fine, exams are everything you covered during class and they are also open notes so make sure to take notes!
