This guy is cool!! Take Him

Great teacher. Clear lectures and notes. Easy to understand. No book needed, everything you need to know is from his notes. Very helpful for assistance.

Very good teacher, his lecture are very interesting and his teaching style is great. he only picks the important part from the book and lectures on it. His tests are based on his lecture. He gives a good review before the test.

Professor is really easy to understand. Loves his jokes even though most people don't get them because they are witty. I think he's easy because he teaches well. If you want a good grade and actually learn something take him.

Great teacher. Love all his consulting stories and you can tell that he loves his wife, even though he kind of makes fun of her cooking. Watch out for him as he will turn you into a busines or economics major.

I've taken alot of his courses from SJSU and NHU, his strategic mgmt and statistics class are the best--Marketing and sales ops are even better, but economics hands down is the best.

This prof is cooool. Even the way he presents complex mathematics to describe theory of demand, profit and consumer behavior. Consumer behavior, now this is a mind-blowing topic. Can't wait to take more courses from him in the fall.

Cool guy, talks about his wife and gives really interesting examples of how to apply economics to real-world. Makes whole class interested with games and exps. He likes explaining which is a good thing.

Teaches great-Period! You will learn and laugh in his courses.

good teacher and really explains everything slow and clear.

Just found out about this site... He teaches great, great personality. Learned a lot eventhough didn't get the grade I was hoping for. Too bad he doesn't teach more classes.

great guy, material was pretty good, uses groups

Made the morning class easier to get to. I didn't fall asleep like my other morning course. Uses groups and experiments. Real cool. L8R

Hes a real cool guy, doenst have everything all wordy. He drops your lowest test grade and gives you very little homework, its always due day of a test .. more like a review. Good teacher

cool guy, great professor. great examples and he has a very good teaching method. tries to apply his lectures to real life, which makes it very easy to understand. he has a great vocabulary too. good sense of humor. good personality. he turned me into an economics minor -_-.....................

OMG EASIEST CLASS EVER!!!! I GOT 102 AND 110 ON MY MIDTERMS AND I'M THINKING OF NOT EVEN GOING TO MY THIRD MIDTERM SINCE HE DROPS IT!!! AND THE TESTS ARE NOT EVEN CUMULATIVE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE SEMESTER! VERY VERY VERY EASY. IF YOU DON'T MIND ESSAY TESTS!

Great teaching style. If you don't want to be bored to tears in an econ class take Dr. Nguyen. He knows his material, and has an effective teaching style. My only recommendation is that you don't miss his class. He is NOT your typical text book teacher and I personally enjoy that.

Definitely take this class! Only 3 midterms and a final. Lowest midterm grade is dropped. Dr. Nguyen makes the material very easy to understand. Don't have to read the book. Attendance not mandatory but you should go to take notes since his midterms & final are right off the lectures. Midterms & finals are short essay questions so u can bs some it!

Awsome teache!! Once you get use to his methods and tests, you'll do fine you might just walk away with 100%+. just make sure to attend class and the review its like you get the info 2 times before the test. You never have to crack the book and he has a lot of extra credit opportunities <- not easy to get but you have them if you need them.

good teacher! knows his stuff and explains everything clearly. Midterms are straight forward, no tricks! Just study the notes, basically the same on the test. Also, give one extra credit prob. every midterm + drop lowest score. would recommend to anyone!

Great personality and teaching style. I wasn't able to make the class too often, but I did OK on my tests - on the final he has you explain what grade you deserve and why and I got what I explained for!

very good teacher for econ1a...midterms are straight from lecture notes so dont miss class. lots of extra credit opportunities also! midterms are like 4-5 short essays and one extra credit, hardly needed my book! would highly recommend this class, especially in the morning, he keeps you awake. knows what he's talking about, runs his own businesses.

easy teacher. dont even need the text, just review your lecture notes and you'll be fine. talks loud so he keeps you awake in a morning class. easy midterms, 5 short answers & 1 extra credit. doesnt like it when you BS him on tests so he gives you half credit for every question you dont answer because you arent wasting your time or his time.

he's a robot. and im dead serious about it. hes easy though, never really mad or anything, and his tests are basically the same things he does on the review day. ROBOT!

im sure we all agree that aplia sux but it does little to your actual grade. just show up to class and take good notes, look over them a couple times before the exam and ull be fine. dont need the book tho so dont spend the money to buy it. really easy class, but make sure you show up to the extra credit days. all in all, easy easy easy

Awesome teacher! If you come to class everyday and do the work, his tests will be a breeze. He is so helpful and his lectures are clear and concise. Take good notes and make sure you write down everything he writes on the board. He's very approachable if you need help and tells lots of funny stories. Take his class, you definitely will enjoy it!

Hands down the best professor i've had to date. his teaching methods are very clear and if you come to class you will do well on the exams. as for the homeworks you better read the book if you want to do well on that but it doesnt affect your grade that much. Highly recommended!

This is a difficult class but Dr. N is an amazing teacher! His lectures are extremely clear and concise. He will cover a topic until everyone understands. Don't need the book - tests are COMPLETELY from his lectures. Be sure to write down everything he writes on the board. He is really funny, too! I loved his real world examples!

Dr. N is an amazing teacher! His lectures are crystal clear. He makes difficult subjects really easy to understand! Don't need the book - tests are ALL from in class notes. Be sure to write down EVERYTHING he writes on the board. He is funny and uses great real world examples!

His class was pretty easy and pretty interesting. He uses good examples when teaching. His tests are based all on class lectures. The worst thing about this class was the Aplia homework. He didn't really teach with the book so it was a little hard to do Aplia.

Great professor. Do not waste money on the textbook. He does not even reference page numbers or assign reading assignments. Because of his teaching style, you need to show up every day for notes. Tests are based on lectures. I don't think he even read the textbook. I think he knows his stuff so well, he doesn't need the book. Take him!

Great Professor! He explains the subject so well! Plus, his real life examples are so interesting! I always look forward coming to his class!! Lots of extra credit if you come on those extra credit days! Midterms/Final are straight from lectures! No need for the book! VERY INTERESTING/FUN professor! TAKE HIM! He's the best!

Excellent class. Would recommend him highly. Great examples and knew his material very well. Applies real life stories and knowledge to his lectures. Test are based on lectures so attendance is mandatory if you want a good grade. The only hard part about the class was the Aplia homework which we never went over or discussed but overall great class.

Took this course because it was required, but it was actually interesting. Started to apply things that you learn from other classes in a practical way. Assumes you know the material already & tends to lecture fast as you can tell he enjoys the topic, but probably needs to slow down for the newbies. Knows his stuff & isn't afraid to tell you so.

Should have taken him for other econ courses. Has practical experience & meshes it with theory. Even shows you how he applied finance/econ in real-world to make money. Should have taken him sooner instead of my senior year. Lectures fast pace, SO ASK QUESTIONS. Doesn't lecture from the book and doesn't need to because he knows his stuff. Take him!

The best teacher ever! Not boring. You can tell he loves to teach and how theory applies in real-life. Actually will show his P&L's and tax returns to prove his points. Haven't met a professor that is willing to show students what works, and more importantly, what doesn't in real business. Responds to email fast, approachable, and wants to help.

Took his econ course because of the reviews here. He's clear & dynamic. Keeps you awake at 7:30am. Not boring, very helpful, but take notes carefully because he loves to graph everything. Don't miss class or you will be lost because he assumes you read the textbook. Grades fair, but exams are essay-based. Take him if you want to learn something.

Pretty cool. Tries to be helpful, reachable via email and office phone. All in all, made a 7:30am class tolerable. AND take notes!!!! write down all the graphs!!!!!! Not your typical textbook teacher.

Took the intro to finance class, & this prof really put concepts together so you totally get it, & applies it to everyday situations. Very interesting lectures & crystal clear. Don't miss class or you will be lost. Very approachable & responds to email super fast. Doesn't lecture from the textbook, I don't think he's read it, and he doesn't need to

Not your typical textbook teacher, which is good. I should have took this professor earlier instead of my senior year. Goes over material from the textbook and then teaches you how to apply it. Very approachable and responds quickly to v-mail & e-mail. Love his examples, this is the only thing that keeps me up in a morning class.

I took this professor because of the reviews thinking he'd be pretty easy, but in all fairness, he MAKES you understand it. Lectures are crystal and gives so many different examples in real life that it's weird how you start to "get it," and reading the book becomes real easy too. He should be teaching my chemistry courses.

My favorite teacher in the Econ department. He's experienced in the field he's teaching - owns a business, hedge fund manager, commercial real estate investor, and very successful in all. You don't really need to read the textbook.

This guy really know what he is talking about. I took this class at 7:30am and he made it worth while. He has a lot of personal experience and makes the class relatable to the real world. Exam very straight forward and straight from the notes. Definitely take this class if you can.

This multi-millionaire will teach you how to become rich as a stock trader, a real estate investor, and a hedge fund manager. It is a rare privilege to have someone with such expertise teaching at college. His best classes are econ 137A and econ 137B.

Took this class at 7:30am and slept most of the time but I still passed. He doesn't use the book and reviews before midterms and finals. His tests are exactly the same as the notes.

had him for econ 1A and 1B, great professor, lectures are crystal clear and is willing to go over the stuff again if you need clarification, he is a super successful business man and knows what he is talking about, 3 midterms drops the lowest score and a final, all tests are straight from the notes no book needed applia is 10% of your grade

This is my first time taking an Economics course in college and took him cause of his ratings and he has not disappointed. The only reason the class is not difficult is cause Dr. N makes you understand the material inside out. He also is very funny with his real life examples to relate to class material. Looking forward to taking 1B with him.

Took both ECON 137A/B. He does spend time to repeat the last lecture. And, most professors just don't hand out notes because they "just lecture." Super helpful AND has "virtual online office hours" which I used often. Explains things crystal clear, and uses the same jokes and humor to get points across. Remember, I had him for both ECON 137A and B.

Dr. N knows why he is talking about but sometimes he lectures way too fast. I should have taken 137a before 137b. The last part dealing with stock charts was hard...really hard. Just glad he was super helpful and available during online office hours which is like a gotomeeting.com interface.

Take his class if you want to learn and not fall asleep. He made a 7:30 morning class so interesting and fun. Do not miss class or you will be lost.

Good teaching. Do not miss lectures or you will be lost. Made morning classes not boring.

Been taking his class for about a month now. Awesome, funny, and speaks loud enough so we can hear him. And keeps us awake at 7am in the morning.

Totally look forward to coming to his class. Makes 7:30 classes easy to get through. However, I think he should stop using food examples because it makes me hungry...

Took him for 1A and just like in that class he is the real deal. You are guaranteed to learn about economics and his life stories are great to relate to the material. Crystal clear lectures he goes over the previous material over and over and his exams are more than fair. Definitely recommend taking him for any econ course. Dr. N is the man!

This professor is FUNNY and gets the point across too. Teaches finance, financial analysis and investment theory. Show up to class or you will be lost. Other than that, really, really great class. Don't want to fall asleep and have fun learning this stuff, then take his class.

Professor is really easy. Dr. Ninh is really helpful and the class wasn't boring at all. Would take his 137B class during spring!

Professor is not boring, gets point across and recaps stuff so everyone follows along. This is both good and bad, but I like that. Very responsive to email and even asked him questions outside of economics and investments. Will answer questions about diet and exercise. Dude is pretty big and scary but very approachable. Wants you to do well & pass.

ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS IN ECON!! MUST TAKE!!!

ECON 137B ISN'T AS EASY AS ECON 137A BUT IN THE END IT'S A GREAT CLASS TO TAKE!

I took 137A and it was much easier. The 137B version of this class was way harder but so worth it. I can tell it was hard becuz students stopped showing up. If you don't have a strong finance background or economics background dont take. But if you want to learn more about stocks and high-level macro, this is it. If ur lazy, avoid this class.

taken all of his courses 1A1B, 139, 137AB. 137B seemskke his passion. This is good and bad, good bc he knows it and knows how to teach it, bad in that he EXPECTS you to know it. Clear, organized & uses ppt. I like it when he is asked a question and he goes off on tangents answering it 20 different ways, gives you better understanding.

Great teacher, going to take him again for 137B!

Professor Nguyen is very laid back and grades leniently. I personally don't find economics interesting, but Professor Nguyen applies a lot of relatable situations in his lectures. There were 3 midterms and 1 final, which were really simple since he gave informative reviews. I disliked the online program a lot, but he knew students didn't like it.

lectures are clear and easy on the eyes ;)

The class consisted of 3 midterms (Drops the lowest score) 3 homework assignments and 1 final. He grades the midterms very leniently. The homework assignments were actually pretty interesting. Even though I did not know much about finance or stocks, I was able to learn a lot in this course. This is a very application-based course which I enjoyed.

I took him for 137A and 137B - he is a total genius! He knows a lot about finance and will give you his insight on investment properties. I graduated last semester but I would totally take him again. Oh yeah, his classes where I learned the most of excel.

I took Ninh's 137a and 137b classes and it was the best decision I ever made. Both classes are extremely insightful and applicable to future jobs I will pursue. Far by the most helpful classes I have ever taken. You do have to attend class and actually learn how to do things though. I made a study group and we got through it fine. Take if you can!

Only reason i passed was recording his lectures. He talks too fast and about too many things that go way over your head. I had to read to catch up. He wants you to have read the text before coming to class. The test exams arent that hard just dont over think. Read the text, record lectures to listen to again and do the hw you will need allthepoints

Took all of Ninh's Econ Classes. He is hands down the best professor in the department. His classes are actually very useful out of the whole department. Skipped a few classes but got all A. If you think this class is hard, you shouldn't be in college lol.

We moved to online classes during spring, but we was very accommodating and adjusted the work load accordingly. He provides good information in every lecture and the assignments he made us do were useful outside of class. I recommend taking his class, he's open to questions and willing to help students. Also the textbook we used was free online.

There was a total of 6 papers. He's lienent on grading his paper. Posts his lectures on Sunday and all assignments were due Saturday night. Easy A in my opinion.

He posted lectures on YouTube every week. There was a total of 3 midterms and a final case study. He grades tough on the exams, but as long as you watch the lectures and follow up with the readings, you'll do ok. Not much effort is required to pass the class, but if you want an A, you have to work for it. Take him if you're willing to do the work.

This dude is godlike. Easily one of the best professors in the econ department. heck, he's one of the best professors at the university. Has a near encyclopedic knowledge on everything with regards to real estate and investments. Very technical in teaching material, but if you follow along closely, you'll pass. He drops the lowest test score.

3 exams, one homework, drops the lowest exam score. Since you are graded on 3 things you better do well in them. He is extremely knowledgeable, and his lactated and material is pretty high level. It can be difficult but if you research on your own and study you will do well.

He is an amazing professor. He knows the subject well and really tries to explain it to the class. There are three midterms, a final, and 1 HW. There is a lot of information but you come out of the class knowing new in-depth knowledge. Take the class to gain a better understanding of the field.

Real world relevant material. My first job out of school reflected his projects closely.

Great Professor - Gives real world examples. Midterms were easy to do and he lets you know exactly what is required. No homework is given, no pop quizzes, and no participation points given. Very straightforward professor.

Great Professor - Gives real world examples. No homework is given, no pop quizzes, and no participation points given. Very straightforward professor.

He's very knowledgeable and uses lots of real-world examples. Attending class & taking notes is extremely important since he usually writes on the board the whole time, hardly any slides. No homework, no study guides, just three midterms composed of 5 FRQ questions + a non-cumulative final (just like the midterms). Be sure to know the concepts.

Presents complex topics in an easy-to-understand format. 100% of the grade is from tests and midterms. He is very clear about his expectations, and will explain anything you have trouble understanding. It is easy to get an A in his class if you ask questions and seek feedback. Otherwise it is easy to fail.

He teaches in a way that actually sticks with you — it's not just facts and dates but real-life connections and meaningful discussions. You can tell he cares about his students and wants us to succeed, not just academically but personally, too.

Great prof. Hard to get a hold of outside of class. Drops lowest midterm grade. Three in person midterms, one in person final. All closed notes. He's pretty chill though. Talks about his properties that he owns and uses them as examples. Goes off track a lot, which confused me. Attendance was not mandatory. Pay attention! He lectures super quickly!
