This professor is awesome. One of the best professors i've ever had. She got to know each of her students on a first name basis, made sure you knew the lecture, and taught in a manner that would be easy for us to understand. She's dope. She brought us cookies and snacks one time out of the blue. Would mos def take her again. Shes the real mvp...
Best professor makes it easy to understand math. After every new step she asks the class if you have any questions before she continues with the lesson.
She explains the content very well. She is great at giving students extra help and gives great feedback. I would definitely take her again. You don't have to buy the textbook for this class. I went to the Math Center and took photosphotocopied the problems for homework. Other than that, we didn't use the textbook in class.
She is awesome!
I absolutely loved her. She is caring. Her lecture is clear and organized. Prof Nguyen wouldn't move on if you didn't understand the topic.
She is super cute and approachable. I love her. one of the best teacher I've ever had. She is extremely helpful during her office hours.
Prof Nguyen is one of the best professors at LBCC. She is new at LBCC, so not many people know about her. My friend told me to take her class. SHe is amazing. She is also very pretty.
She is awesome. Super clear lecture. Dr. Nguyen takes her time to answer all questions. Highly recommended .
Wish I could have her as my teacher for all levels of math!!!
Overall a fantastic teacher. I failed Math 110 with an F in the fall and took Dr. Nguyen for Math 110 in the spring. I did majority of the online hw, I received A's on all exams, and I sat in the front everyday. She engages really well with her class and asks questions after explaining her lesson (: she let's students ask questions after class.
I took her for Math 110 and am now taking her for Math 130 because that's how much I love her as a professor! Prof. Nguyen will help you find easy and understanding ways to solve application problems as well. The way she teaches is understanding and she cares for her students. If you receive all A's on your exams, you won't need to take the final!
Dr. Nguyen is simply amazing. I took her Math 130 in spring and got a B. She is helpful and made the class fun. You can always stop her to ask questions if you don't understand anything. I love her so much and she is not teaching Stat 1 next semester, so I am still debating whether I should wait for her or just move on.
She is the best teacher I've ever had. I will take her Math 130 in Fall.
She is awesome. Go to class, do the homework then you will pass with a good grade. She is organized. Funny and super cute
I took Dr. Nguyen for 805 and math 110. She takes the time to explain any questions that you may have. She is an excellent professor. On the tests, as long as you try, she gives points. I have learned so much from her and would recommend her to anyone who struggles with math. She is very patient and clear in her teaching. I absolutely love her.
I took her Math 130. I wish I could have her for all my math classes. Dr. Nguyen is amazing. I am surprised that she doesn't get the chilly pepper because she is one of the hottest professors on campus.
She is great. Take her class
I like her a lot. I had her over the summer. Heard so many great things about her, and they are right. She is great. She is pretty too, so I agree with the person below. It must be a mistake that she doesn't have the chilli pepper.
I took her class last year. Amazing teacher. She is caring. There are some rude people in class, and she still managed to stay calm. Dr. Nguyen, thank you so much.
Dr. Nguyen is a great professor. She is helpful during her office hours. If you don't want to ask in class, just go to her office. She has many techniques to show you
She is great
She is one of the best professors at LBCC. She takes her time to help you on every problem. You just have to ask.
She is very nice. Her lecture is clear and organized. SHe is super cute as well so I don't know why she doesn't have the chilly pepper.
She is an amazing teacher but she teaches too fast and doesn't even explain step by step! sometimes it gets confusing!
Homework is due at the end of the week and its extremely important for grade and it helps study for test. She is really helpful and sweet.
She is amazing. She explains everything clearly. Dr. Nguyen wouldn't move on if she thinks you are still struggling. She knows her math well and very passionate about the subject. Super cute also.
Dr. Nguyen is the best Prof. Take her class. She is there for you. I don't know how she can stand of some of her students. She is extremely patient!
DO NOT take her if you struggle in math.
Great professor took a test missed 13/20 and still got a 77%. she gives you credit for just showing work on the test.
She is amazing. If you are having a hard time in math, take her
She is AWESOME! Take her class
Teaches very good. Very nice, she will answer any questions you have. If you miss class on a test day she will let you make it up. You don't need to buy the textbook! she uses an online program.
This class is wonderful with the right teacher. She made math fun and I would definitely take it with her again!! She is very helpful and her tests are not hard. Do the review and you have an A on the test. We did not use the textbook, rather we used 'connectmath' that only required a $40 purchase code... way cheaper than a $144 textbook.
Kind and caring teacher! Great attitude when she teaches and has a great connection toward students. Makes math easy and makes sure everyone is caught up. Also an easy grader. Plus she has an amazing style and is so cute!
Dr. Nguyen is very knowledgeable on the subject of math. She has a sense of humor, and is very much into math. I'm a slow learner when it comes to math, but she'll stop and explain what you missed. I'd take her again because she's good at explaining the subject, and will do what she can to help you remember the material.
Professor Nguyen is a great teacher. Do your homework and review the study guide and you'll easily get an A. It's not a tough class as long as you actually try.
Dr. Nguyen is an excellent professor. You don't need the book. She is really nice and cute
She is a great professor. I didn't know the fast pace work for me, but I had her for summer and it is good. She is quite patient with the students and super nice.
Best Math prof ever!!!! Her class is filled up quickly. Take her if you are struggling with math. She is super cute
Shes the best math professor. I took math 110 and 130 with her. Shes just the best,. Shes a cute professor too.
Dr. N is the best. If I could, I would take her for all of my math classes. She is down to Earth, and she makes math fun. Very cute professor. And Smart
She is hilarious. She makes math fun. I'm not a big fan of math and my friend told me about her. You don't need the book so you save some money.
Very awesome teacher! she was clear on all the stuff we needed to learn to pass the class. When she lectured, if we didn't understand something, she would go over it with us and break it down so that we could understand it. Very patient and caring teacher. She genuinely cares for her students.
Dude she is so funny and cool! She knows when to take the proper breaks from math because she understands where we are coming from and she is willing to help anyone who asks for it! She doesn't make you pay for the book only if YOU want to. She always makes sure if you understand and will always explain the questions to the class
she's nice !!! not a lot of homework , easy quiz, and quiz look similar to a quiz
Prof Nguyen is great. She goes over tough problems with you in class, so you are prepared for the homework. Don't be afraid to ask questions in class because she'd answer them all. I don't need to buy the book and she gave out Aleks code for free, so I didn't spend any money for this math class. The best MATH PROF!!!!
She is super cute and caring. I wish I could take her for all of my classes. She doesn't make you feel stupid when you ask questions. She'd made sure everyone understand before she moves on. Excellent teacher.
She was very patient and made sure everyone understood the material. would definitely recommend to anyone who has a hard time with math.
Dr. Orchid is AMAZING!! I use to hate math but now I love it because of her. She is the best Professor I have taken at LBCC. She is so caring and wants all her students to succeed. If you get a 90% on all 4 exams you don't need to take the final.
Dr. Orchid Nguyen is a great Professor. She gets into detail very well. If you want to learn must take her, and also she gives lots of Extra Credit. She so good that I'm taking her in the Spring 2017 for Math 45. I took Math 140 in the Fall and Got an "A" You must take Professor Nguyen.
I really liked her class. She help you when you need and she'll got over it hope much you can. I didn't know anything until she teaches me. Homework is all online easy 5 questions usually 3 questions per topic. Not boring at all. She's funny. Quiz are only 10 questions only
Dr. Nguyen is the best. You must take her if you hate math. She is super cute
SHES THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER! LOVE HER BECAUSE SHES SO NICE AND HELPFUL, THIS WAS MY SECOND YEAR TAKING HER I TOOK HER FOR MATH 140 AND GOT AN A, AND TOOK HER FOR MATH 45 AN GOT AN A, THANKS NGUYEN!!!!
awesome teacher. She is patient with students. I took her Math 140. Tough class but fun teacher .
I took her Math 130, best Math professor ever!!! She is funny. The class is hard, but she made it fun.
I am definitely not a math person in high school I always got a C average on every test. I was really scared to take this class coming into college, but I dont regret it not one bit! She made this class easy and I passed with an A! She gives somewhat a lot of homework so make sure you stay on it. Besides that shes a great professor!!
She's lovely. If math doesn't come easy to you (like me), take her class. She's simple, teaches the concepts well, and has a bright aura. She encourages you to ask questions before she moves on and will go over whatever you need. Homework is almost always able to be completed and exams are a huge portion. The study guides will help! Trust me!
GUYS! Wowwww this is probably the best math teacher I've had my entire life! I failed intermediate algebra 2 years in high school and then math 110 my first semester in college.... I was thinking about taking her class because i'm bad at math! Guess what though? I passed math 140 with a B! She's so easy and explains everything so well TAKE HER!
Hands down best professor in math. I took her for math 140. She explains the problems very well, always always ask questions if you dont understand. She is very helpful. She doesnt do extra credit so be aware, study and you will pass.
Dr. Nguyen is awesome. She gives a lot of homework though. However, she is clear and super organized. If you follow her direction , you ll get an A
THE BEST!! She explains everything very well, don't be afraid to ask questions. I sat in the front of the class to avoid getting distracted and aced all my exams. Only 4 exams plus final. gives a study guide VERY similar to exam. And at the end of the semester she bought our entire 8AM class breakfast!!!
Dr. Orchid Nguyen is a great math professor. Her lectures are clear and precise. I recommend reviewing the material and attempting homework before lectures so the information flows more quickly in your head. It's clear that she loves teaching. I took her last Spring semester so don't be afraid to ask her questions during lecture.
Dr. Nguyen is a great professor. I agree with some of the students that she gives a lot of homework. Her review assignment is helpful. Make sure you come to lecture. I'm horrible in Math, but I managed to get a B
I hate math so much, but she was amazing! She is so organized and the doesn't try to sound smart like most professors and she will work on the problem till everyone understands it. She is a very hard working woman and she is honest about her difficulties in math so you feel like an equal. Come to class every day and it'll be hard not to pass.
Never have I ever understood a math class in my existence. Till I took her class in the Fall of 2018 she's an incredible math professor. Great lectures and the examples she gives are exactly like her exams. And she gives partial credit on a question on the exam if you do something incorrectly. I can't wait to take her pre-cal class soon.
I have taken Professor Nguyens math 50 and 60 classes and would definitely recommend her. She has helped me to understand math better than any other teacher. Her classes are early, but to me they are worth waking up for. She wants her students to succeed.
She was not the best professor because I found myself looking up a lot videos to help myself learn. She collects homework but if you do it, it is harder than the exams so you will be fine. Although she may not be the best teacher, she is a great person because she is very passionate and understanding. Overall, you can be successful/effort is key.
I don't think I would survived online Calculus if it weren't for her. She helped us so much. The transition to online was really tough for me, but Dr. Nguyen was understanding and put so much efforts into it. I wish I can take her for Math 70 and 80.
I took Orchid Spring 2020 and she was amazing in person and just as amazing online! If you go to class and show you care then you'll do great and form a great bond with her!
Professor Nguyen is mediocre at best. Her communication is awful and she never addressed some of the topics we had to learn. Warning: she uses ALEKS. If it wasn't for examples on ALEKS for hw assignments I wouldn't have passed. Our class was supposed to be asynchronous, but she scheduled tests and meetings during certain days and times anyway.
I took her class when the pandemic started, when it was announced - she still made us go to class to take the exam even though we were shutting down. Didn't care about the health or safety of her students when there was a virus going around. When we moved into an online environment, she was offensive and disarming when we asked simple questions.
Do not take a math class with her during these difficult times. She makes them more difficult by treating her "asynchronous" classes like regular in-person classes. This is a problem especially if you have family home as well. Exams are proctored through zoom and you will fail the class if you don't turn on your camera or are absent altogether.
She wants students to turn on the camera to see their desks and face at the exam.
I signed up expecting a synchronous class, and instead got the opposite. The zoom meetings arent mandatory, but even if you go they dont really help with the ALEKs homework. The homework takes hours to complete if youre terrible at math like me, and you are unlikely to retain anything. Shes probably a better professor in person, but not online.
Absolutely awful. Do not take a math class with her unless you're someone who really LOVES Aleks. In fact, don't take any math professor who uses that program. Clearly does not care about her students' success and just overall frustrating because she relies so heavily on Aleks. Talk about laziness. Avoid this professor at all costs if you can.
I thought I was decent at math until I took this class. It really was teaching yourself, I never reached out but I don't think it would have helped. I had never used Aleks before and didn't think it'd be too hard. I was wrong. I had to learn ATLEAST 20 topics a week and couldn't move to the next topic unless I got them all right in a row.
Dr. Nguyen is very passionate about math. She assigns a lot of homework for each module on Aleks. The homework is always harder than the exams. If you do well on the homework and keep up on all assignments you will get a good grade.
There is no lecture. There is only socializing during lecture hours. Her lectures she keeps telling me are already posted.
She changes the syllabus every other week.
Prof Nguyen is the best. I've had her for 3 classes now. This is the first online class I have with her. She has videos, lecture notes for every single lesson. I don't understand why some students complained. These students probably don't watch videos, read the lecture notes, or come to the meetings. I don't like Aleks, but it is just hw!
She was fine honestly. Her lecture helped my understanding on some problems i was confused about.
Professor didnt post grades in a timely manner and I was not able to take a registered class as a result. Grades were posted after next semester started. She delayed my educational plan.
Professor asked not to reach put to her because of policies and procedures set forth by the college. She would not comment on grades at all or reply back to emails for clarification on assignments.
Professor is teaching off YouTube videos recorded from 2019. Does not give feedback. Does not reply on zoom or email. Does not explain anything other than, thats on my videos and you need to go get tutored.
Does not give partial credit on exams/final/midterms. If you dont get the right answer you get zero points. If you dont show your work and get the right answer you dont get any points. You need to show all steps including simple ones like addition/subtraction and multiplication/division.
Professor is late more than 15 minutes to once a week class meetings. She marks you absent if you dont wait for her.
Passionate professor for math, but be ready to learn on your own if you don't ask questions. Many people are afraid to ask or just don't pay attention when she is teaching, don't be that person. You have to pay for aleks but as long as you look at the explanation you will learn a lot. You are on zoom for test so study!!!
Overall a really good teacher. A majority of the learning came from using Aleks which I didn't have an overall problem with, yes it was a lot but nothing I couldn't work with. But it was like 25ish topics every week. She would also hold a class just to go over a few topics before you learned something new and also had the lecture videos.
Professor literally uploaded no lectures, only notes & held no asynchronous meetings for a business calc class. Notes unclear & although scheduled zoom meetings w/ her was encouraged, the math was not easily comprehended on a question by question basis. For the final, she mis-assigned homework used to prepare for it & still included test questions
She is a nice person but does not like to get asked questions after class. Gives partial credit on exams which is good. The class is not properly balanced exams worth 75% of overall grade. LOTS OF HW
I just read the chain of bad comments from a same student obviously. Dr. Nguyen is the best Math instructor that I've ever had. She cares a lot for her students. During the pandemic, she helped us so much. If you got a bad grade from her, you have to do absolutely NOTHING! She gives ton of partial credits.
Great professor! posted lecture videos online and answered questions during class and explained thoroughly. Made sure everyone understood the material. Would definitely take one of her classes again!
Professor Nguyen is by far one of the best professors at LBCC and so far my favorite math teacher thus far. This is a math class, there will be loads of work, however, her unique way of engaging with her students will help one absorb the lesson at hand with ease. She is not confusing or a fast teacher. She goes over her lesson in detail! 5 STARS!
She is very sweet and caring person. I think that at first she may come off as attitudeish, but she is just trying to be funny. Great notes and videos on how to solve the problems. Zoom lectures weren't mandatory, but did help with questions. She uses Aleks for homework, which can be annoying due to the knowledge checks and lots of homework.
Dr. Nguyen shows that she cares about her students and is very accommodating for your situations as long as you communicate properly. Homework, quizzes, and tests are on ALEKS, if you manage your time the workload is manageable for an online class. Didn't require we show up to zoom. 10 quizzes, 3 Exams, 1 Final Exam. She has Big Bang Theory memes.
Overall she is super nice and funny. Every practice test / study guide was nearly identical to the actual exam, with small changes like values and signs. All quizzes were remote. Some concepts were hard to stay up to speed with, because others knew it already and she'd move on. Grade distribution: Exams: 45% Final: 20% HW: 20% Quizzes: 15%.
Overall she's not a bad professor, but can get a bit stressful when you ask for help and she responds with "you should already know this". She doesn't go over review material and just expects everyone to know the needed math for calc. even some people who took her pre-calc couldn't pass. have an emergency before an exam? too bad doesn't care.
She is a great teacher and explained tough concepts really well. As long as you go to lecture and do the homework, you should have a great understanding of calculus. Her practice exams prepared you perfectly for the actual exams. She noticed the star students in her class and recommended them to the honors professor. quiz15% hw15% exam50% final20%
She is truly one of the greatest professors at LBCC. I wish I could take her class again next semester!! Awesome & hardworking professor with outstanding notes :) I really enjoyed my time in her calculus class & super understanding!!
Professor Nguyen has a specific teaching style, but if you engage with it, the class works well. I found unstuckstudy and the free textbook super helpful for study prep. Go to class, do the work, and you can do well.
You get the grade you deserve. Super great professor with a straight forward grading system. Show up, study and have a great attitude. She's very funny and appreciates hard work.
I loved her class and the way she teaches. If you pay attention, follow along, and participate in answering questions I guarantee you will do good on the tests. I received high A's on all exams because I used her study guides, did the homework, and paid attention during the lectures. HW on ALEKS which is not the easiest but makes you learn things.
She expects you to know things she's supposed to have taught you. If you have questions, she makes you feel silly for asking. When lecture ended i couldn't even tell because we were always behind and rushing through each lecture. Homework is tough and has nothing to do with exams or lecture. Most of my learning was self-taught.
Professor Orchid is my first teacher here in USA in Lbcc ! The most kids and sweet person ever!) so happy to be able to share my experience with her ! I got the highest grade and passed ! She inspired me and made me love maths ! Orchid has a very cool sense of humor! I miss her so much !) Me and my sister are happy to get to meet professor so much
