It was very hard to understand her because of her heavy vietnamese accent. Math alone is hard on all levels, and when you have a professor that's always saying negative things such as "if you don't do this, you will fail!" or "you better listen up otherwise you'll die this chapter!" it's not motivating. Never taking her classes again!

I learned nothing in this class; I couldn't really understand her. I'm sure she knows what she's doing, but she's one of those people that is not great at teaching it. Sorry. Would not take again. She wasn't terrible, but I would only take her class again if it was one of my last options.

She is a professor that makes math more complicated than it really is. You have to teach yourself out of the book because She does not explain anything well and when She does, you can't understand her because she mumbles all the time.. I would not recommend her class., its one of my biggest regrets.

What this lady does is not teaching. Transferring info from the textbook to notes in lecture, without explaining and clarifying, is not teaching, by any means. She knows the whole class is lost (we all told her), and just says "it will change". She should stop and clarify, not go on deluding herself into thinking she is teaching, and us learning.

Although she has good intentions for her students, she was not helpful at all. She speeds through a lot of the material without really explaining. If the class bombs the exams, she blames them for not studying enough. If you're good at math, I would recommend her. Otherwise this class will be extremely difficult and she won't be of much help.
