The Review she gives before a test does not relate to the test. I started out with a B+ the first couple of weeks and it went downhill from there. Do my homework everyday, but it just doesn't work out. Hard to understand and hard to focus in class. Not enough details when explaining a subject.

Terrible class. She makes a lot of assumptions that you learned and retained this class from high school. She doesn't check if the class is just not getting it and sometimes skips over parts assuming you should already know it even though it is not taught in any earlier math classes. Started with a class of 40, end with 10 and only 2 passed

Professor Nguyen makes this class extremely difficult for the purpose of preparing you for the higher division math classes. However, what makes this class difficult is her extremely thick accent and her unwillingness to explain certain topics. she uses the phrase "you should have learned this before" when the last math class I took was 5 yrs ago..

I took prof. Nguyen for math 370 and the only reason I passed was because of the tutoring center. She was extremely discouraging when you visited her for office hours because she often used that time to grade papers. So she would either rush you away or ask us to see her after class for questions. But all my classes were back to back.

This class should not have been this difficult! but she assigns so much homework that it was absolutely impossible to keep up with the class. Her teaching style is extremely rude because she will make constant remarks like "you should have learned this before". Absolutely awful.

I passed because I took honors calc in high school But I should say that the majority of my class dropped by the first couple of weeks. I tutored half the class on my own. I feel awful for them. Please do not take her!!!

She uses a lot of shortcuts, and doesn't clearly explain her methods; you're just expected to understand & remember as soon as she teaches it. I can tell she tries her best to make sure everyone is on the same page, but she can be passive aggressive sometimes. She goes through the 2 textbooks fast and assigns 5 hw assignments weekly.

She does help outside of class with tutoring. She has a heavy accent that is hard to understand sometimes. 90% of the homework is on WebAssign, other 10% is from the book. What she lectures is different from homework, what is on the homework is different from the tests. I would take someone else if you could. Tests make up your grade. Study hard.

Gets frustrated when you ask questions, replies with "you should have learned this already".Gave over half of our class 0% on the first test of the semester because she believes over half of us cheated, she explicitly stated in a group message to the class that she was frustrated with all of us because we "did not understand the concepts taught".

Worse Professor and worse semester of my life, had to drop in March because she gave half the class a zero on the first exam because the work looked suspicious even though she watched us take the exam. She will give you a zero on any exam she thinks you cheated on. Getting a C in her class is nearly impossible so please please please do not take!

She is the worst math Professor I've come across, Give way too much hW, her lectures are so confusing and she rushed through it, never leave anytime for her students to process, grade the HW harshly, and give no feedback, and the exams are horrific! I would never recommend her to anyone, please save yourself and stay away

This course is very homework, quiz. and exam heavy. Professor Loi herself is a very genuinely nice person, but her class was not something I could recommend anyone to take. Her grading is merciless and lectures can be confusing given her accent and how she likes to jump around in material.

I don't agree with other reviews. I am not good at math and I pass her class with an A. A lot complain about her accent but its not as bad as people say. I never had trouble understanding her. Nguyen truly cares about her students and does everything to help her students succeed. Exams are based off of lecture and homework. No reason to fail.

I had her for most of the semester. She is very knowledgeable, and will do her best to answer your questions. At times, she can be hard to understand, but it will get easier once you get used to her. There is homework after all class sessions, and she does not take late work. Her office hours are limited, so prepare to use the math center as well.

I don't understand why there are such negative comments about her. The tests are quite straight forward. Homework is due the day of quizzes but the answers are posted prior to the due date so you can check your work. on top of that she'll practically go over the whole assignment in class. She wants everyone to pass. Take her! I am taking math300

She is the worse professor at CRC. Her accent is really thick and that makes it hard to understand her. She even confused herself when explaining most problems. You won't learn anything from her, and you will need to teach yourself. She makes any problems more complicated than it should be. You will regret if you take her class.

Prof. Nguyen is definitely a caring and respectable professor. Her teaching style is easy to follow. She has a Viet accent, but is understandable. Her fault however lies in her tough grading and excessive amounts of homework. She's inconsistent on updates with Canvas. If you need help she provides resources but her hours are limited.

Great professor. She's very kind and cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. The workload gets intense especially if you fall behind or if you struggle in math/are a slow learner. The class moves quick, but her lectures are detailed and she puts in a lot of effort to help you understand, so ask questions and take lots of notes.
