The material is hard, but the professor makes it easy to understand. Very helpful, willing to explain over and over again until you get it, and he's kinda hot! ;)

Told you exactly what to study for every test. Detailed and orderly. He taght enthusiastically and could tell he loved his work. Nice, easy to ask questions. Gives very specific notes. Don't miss class if you can help it. Lot of info but he leads you to victory. Be on time. Lateness is points off.

Great teacher gives you a handout for evey test. Easy to talk to and explains topics you don't understand till you get it.

clear and to the point. Almost always smiling,very cool,and kinda cute. seems so young to be a professor in bio, i'm impressed, way to go professor.

He is the BEST!!! I wish all professors were like him.

Great professor!!!! he gives notes, they are 5 lecture and two lab exams.follow his directions along with class notes and you'll get an 'A'. GOOD LUCK

He is very knowledgable, His teaching method is exceptional, and if you study his notes and go over the review sheets he hands out you will receive an A or better!!!! He's personable, amiable, makes the class interesting, and he genuinely wants the students input. If you take his class and fail it is definetly your fault!!!!

Great Professor! All his notes are in the exam! Make sure you reread the notes with the book as well. Explains everything twice if needed! Does the labs with the class!

Amazing teacher, i'd love to take another class if he's the one teaching it. He gives review sheets so you know exactly what to study, and his notes are great. Aside from that, class is never a bore because he has interesting tidbits. Dorky but in a cute way. Take his class, u'll love it!

A teacher's teacher. A role model for other teachers. He is very knowledgeable and enjoys sharing that knowledge with his students. He tries so hard to help those who fall behind. He reviews and gives you a list of what exactly will appear on each exam. He's a gr8 teacher and I'd enroll in other courses taught by him!

What can I say that hasnt been said already. This guy is the best teacher in the science dept. I wish I had taken him for A&P I and II. Very clear, doesnt try to trick you. He is fair and genuinely a nice guy.

I encourage everybody to take his class. He is one the best professors.

this professor is awesome. he teaches from his notes and you dont have to buy a text book. this guy is very interesting and very easy going. exams are from his notes plus he gives u a review sheet. this guy is highly recommended hes also young and cool.

Peter was fantastic. Always willing to help you out during his office hours or after class. Will try to explain everything to you as best as he can or until he believes that you have understood the material. Incredibly fair in grading and will curb the tests, if necessary. I would love to take his class again.

Tina Turner said it best....HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST....Better than all the rest!!!! He is a great guy and a teriffic teacher. He is amazing and he is very helpful to his students. He does not want you to fail....

Very good Professor, very knowledgable teacher. You have to do study and attend classes to get good grades. Study his notes and you won't fail.

He is a great, knowledgeable professor. Study directly from his notes and you'll do fine. He gives a review sheet for each test. Overall, a great teacher and hot!! =D

Good teacher- he is a fair grader and for the most part, does not try to trick you. He writes all the notes on the board, but you should study his notes and use the book as a reference. I did well, but I studied hard too. 5 exams- drops lowest grade. 4 lab quizzes, dropped lowest grade.

Wow, I really feel like I learned more in his class than through my previous educational experiences. All I wanna know now is: is he married?

For people who want to know the structure of the class & exams. PowerPoint lectures. 5 exams (drops lowest; final is not cumulative), 3 lab quizzes, 1 lab report. Format of the tests were multiple choice, fill-ins, true & false, and matching (body parts). This is not an easy A, you have to study everything and know what you're talking about.

Best prof ever!Hard class but he makes it interesting,gives blueprints 4 exams,study tips,explains clearly,gives personal attn. at office hours if u need help&offers extra research opportunities if ur so inclined.summer class so expected 2 just pass but he gave me a chance 2 do well!Pay attention 2 the post-lab lectures 4 the lab exams.A RARE GEM!

Tests were a bit hard. Tricky questions and fill-ins and the study notes were not really that great. Difficult class with difficult tests. Was an ok professor but not an easy A.

This is not any easy A by any means. He is a good professor but you must work hard to get an A. Gives power points but the text book will help you more. Does not give practice exams only outlines. There are other professors that are way easier and give practice exams. Overall good but tough.

I think for the summer he is a great professor. His test are straight from his notes and he gives study guides. For the summer its alot of info but anyone who takes bio 420 in the summer should expect alot of studying. He explains the material clearly and i will definitely recommend him :)

For those that think he is unfair and unhelpful, you are all lazy and should reconsider ever taking a summer course! He is a great professor and extremely knowledgeable in what he teaches. He shows great interest in his subjects, answers questions (without an attitude) and wants his students to succeed. He curves every exam! Highly recommended!!!

He is a great professor! Expect to work hard and learn a lot from him. He will help you every step of the way, but you have to do your part and study too! You can pass and do well by taking good notes and listening to his lectures. Textbook is not recommended! Awesome professor! Obviously, negative previous comments were all from 1 particular perso

I have no idea why someone rated him so badly. In nature Micro is alot of studying required with ANY professor. Prof. Nguyen is very helpful. He knows and loves what he is teaching. He explains things well and repeat patiently until everyone get it. I took micro same time I do NUR211 (think about what that mean) and I still got an A.

The class bio420 is hard, but at least prof. Nguyen gives multiple choice questions. Exams are tricky but doable. Good explanations, slides and no money spending on the books.

Prof. Nguyen is one great man. I think he is brilliant. As smart as he is, he is equally good hearted and fair. The course is complex and requires really hard work yet he provides every opportunity for his students to excel. And to boot, he is extremely handsome and immensely likeable.

This was not an easy class but not impossible either. You definately need to study and understand the material to do well on the tests. Overall, it was an enjoyable course!

Prof. Nguyen is a great Professor, he cares about his students. What I like most about him is he is straight up and will tell you what he will test you on. I had him for A&P Lab and I had to take him for MicroBio. He doesnt stress out the students and he is very helpful

Professor's expectations significantly override his personal input in teaching. The lectures are well done and provide general info. His tests require the ability to play with info. There are no tools to prepare to his tests. Review questions are just the lists of topics. Online test samples do not come even close to his cunning type of questions.

Good professor. You have to study on your own a lot. A lot of memorization. Professor is willing to help whenever you ask a question, or repeat the information you didn't understand

I don't know why people complain so much about him. I think that people just don't study enough, or they are just not smart enough to answer his questions. The power points are more than enough for the class. I rarely used the textbook. I got an A and it was not impossible like some people say. I even think it was easy because he curves a lot

Just finished taking a semester with him. It was challenging, really. But it wasn't impossible. You reap what you sow, so if you study hard, you'll get that A. He is very practical when it comes to lecturing; doesn't give you more information than you need to know. Also applies Microbio to majors relevant to you (ex: nursing). Great guy. Funny too!

Great prof! Knows the subject & loves to teach. Tests are fair. You don't need the book. Just study the powerpoints he gives out. He gives review sheets too. But questions are tricky and the curve is small so you need to know your stuff. He's funny and engaging. It's great to be in a class with a prof who loves to teach. Take him and learn!

Very nice and helpful prof. Def knows the subject and if you ask him anything he answers as best as he can. Professional and patient. His exams are straight forward and if you read his notes and attend class - there is no way you wont get an A. his grading is good too - drops one exam. Got an A and i would retake him if needed. recommending!!

His slides r concise to the point, but I feel like word to word memorizing from the textbook. Thus, it is not going 2 help you 2 understand and 2 remember in a long run. His review sheet is okay, just telling u which chapters to read and some other things you must know 2 prepare for the test.

His tricky question 4 test is due to student lack of time to read his slides carefully and slowly. U must remember the picture from the textbook or bmcc lab book his quizzes He shows u the slide, and u write what this is. If u can't remember then u r screw cuz he does not go back to the previous slide. His quizzes can be much more stressful

Awesome professor!Lectures are interesting. Exams are very straight forward. All you need to do is study the lecture slides. It's recommended that you have them with you during class.He does review sessions before exams and lab quizzes are mostly questions from the lab manual. And yes, he's very good looking :)

(summer 2014) Prof. Nyugen is a very helpful and teaches well (very intelligent). His questions are bit tricky if you don't pay attention. Explains well and answers to all questions. Make sure to record his lectures and STUDY. No textbook required. If you are lazy and want an easy A then don't take him. He is one of the best Professors in BMCC.

Awesome Professor. You have to study. Everything is based on his power point and his lecture. His exams are not easy but if you are not lazy you will get a good grade. You will learn a lot from this professor, not just passing an exam. Drops your lowest grade for lecture.

His class was not too easy but if you take good note and study hard you will get easy A. His exam was hard and tricky so be good prepared. I give him 5 stars, great professor.

Peter Nguyen's Microbiology class is simple and clear-cut in its format: Study his lecture slides very well and take thorough notes and you will be MORE THAN FINE on his exams. Does he have tricky questions on his texts? YES. BUT, if you pay close enough attention to him when we speaks in lecture, you will catch the subtleties.

GOOD Professor,VERY easy going. He lectures well, very knowledgeable.

Professor Nguyen is an excellent professor. Very helpful and doesn't mind answering the questions asked and making sure you understand. He's very helpful. His test requires listening to his lectures and reading his slides. He ask questions that requires you to think. Will be looking forward to taking him for microbiology.

In other reviews students said his test are tough they are not. If you pay attention in class and study his power point presentations and follow his guidance you will do well. Remember this is college don't expect to be spoon fed. If you don't understand something just ask.

I had Mr Nguyen for micro and let me tell you, the lectures were boring and also long. He teaches straight out of ppt presentations. plz hang on to his every word, ask q's if youre confused because the tests were tricky and you must be alert and pay attention to detail while he teaches. if you can, record the class. lab was an easy A :)

Peter is a great Professor!!! One of the best Professors at BMCC. He explains all the concepts with clarity, and gives good feedback. If you can, try to record his lectures, and read the textbook along with the slides. STUDY HARD!!!

Prof Nguyen is the best professor I've had so far at BMCC. He's extremely passionate, been doing this a long time, and every lecture is fresh and inspired. Any professor who is engaged enough to mention after 3 hours of intense lecturing "That was a good class, don't you think?" has my vote. He knows the material. The exams are tough, but fair.

The days are numbered, by the way, of students who expect to just waltz in whenever they feel like it, don't study, don't do well, then expect concessions for their lack of discipline. This is a college level course. You're lucky it's not harder than it is.

This class was very hard. But the subject itself that is hard. Professor is clear yet tests were harder than expected. I studied 50-100 hours per test & still only got an A-. I did walk away feeling like I learned something & the subject matter is VERY interesting. Do not expect to breeze through if you 'have EXCEPTIONAL study skills

Took micro with him in the summer. It was alot of reading and memorizing but to me it was great. Class was interesting. All multiple choice question. No lab reports. Just read and study hard for exams. Curves and drops lowest grade.

If I could take every science class with him I would. If you attend the class and study, there isn't a reason to not pass. The exams are difficult and questions can get tricky but there won't be anything he didn't explain during the lecture. He makes jokes to lighten up the heavy load. He seems to enjoy his job and that's important to me.

AMAZINGGG!!!! Wish I could take every science course with him. He's very clear on his information, his power-points great and simplify the textbook for you, record his lectures and listen when studying really helped me

*claps claps claps* amazing professor!! Really gears his teaching with hopes the class will do well and we did. Class loved him.

Straight fwd. No trick questions. Easy lay out. Does focus on slides but at least you know what to expect he doesnt go off on a tangent. You leave knowing there is no intelligent design

Great professor drops lowest grade curves and also gives you extra credit

Prof. Nguyen is amazing. A&P is not easy, you have to study and make sure you go through his slides because his tests are straight from knowing them. Tests are fair, drops the lowest grade. He is very nice and gives extra credit. He gives extra info and loves what he does. Take him, you will enjoy learning as much as I did and you will learn a lot.

I gotta say, with this professor it was a rocky start, however this turned around rather quickly. Professor Nguyen is an exceptional professor, he goes above and beyond to ensure students pass. 10/10 would recommend.

Bro stop listening to students that didn't do anything on their end... this is college YOU HAVE TO STUDY... he literally says It from the start I can help you and teach you but if you're not doing your part you will not pass! He's a great professor I would love to take him again he helps you out a lot and even gave so many extra credit work.

He is awesome! Can be a little condescending when you ask questions but once you get past that he is awesome!Super clear and very helpful!

Dr. Nguyen's exams are straight from his lecture notes. He won't try to trick you. He expects you to study a lot because the material is dense. His quizzes are directly from his study guides and lab assignments are free points. His exams/quizzes are out of 106/105 points so there are 5-6 extra credit points. He takes forever to grade though.

Professor Nguyen is very understanding, caring and a great professor over all. He cares for his students so if you are putting in the due effort, he will see it. He wants everyone to do good therefore if you are doing what you need to be doing, you'll enjoy his class. I appreciate professors like him and I am very glad I took this course with him.

Easy grader, extra credit, almost no assignments, if you want get into nursing program and get better grades take him!

he was a pretty good teacher, gives you a review sheet of what is definitely going to b on tests. drops one exam, can be final exam too. about 5 tests and 3 quizzes. i went to lecture and dosed off or fell asleep LOL, but just studying the lectures and watching yt vids on the chapters was enough to get an A and slay the class fr frrrrr

He's a great professor and definitely wants to help you pass, but his tests focus a lot more on the application of the topics than anything else. Trying to understand how the processes discussed in lecture work is your best bet, so if you can do that it's an easy A.

Professor Nguyen is a great professor when it comes to lecturing and explaining the material to his students. His exams come straight from the powerpoint and his reviews. He provides us with extra credit and drops your lowest exam grade. This class is not easy by any means! Be ready to put in the work if you want an A!

He's a relaxed professor, although he might seem a bit strange when you ask questions. His tests can be challenging, but you don't need to buy the textbook. Just focus on his PowerPoint slides. He gives extra credit for each exam and will drop your lowest score.

Decided to take his class based on r.m.p reviews. I have no regrets. Fair grader and best professor you could get for a difficult course like microbio. Bad reviews are from students who are looking for As they dont deserve. Im not a gifted student but he gives you the blueprint of how to pass his class. Put in the work and you will definitely pass

Professor Nguyen's class is challenging but manageable if you put in the effort. His tests focus on applying concepts, so understanding the material well is key. Unstuck ai was a lifesaver for me - it really helped with practice questions and study prep.

I took him for ap 1 bio he is the best. i study using his slides and the study guide. Lab exams were straightforward. There are bonus questions in the exam and he drops the lowest lec exam. I recommend him, you need to put in the effort if you want to succeed!

His lectures are long he explains a lot. HW saved me; they're lab-based. His exams are based on lecture (fair), and lab quizzes are hard. Pay attention during labs!! Labs were fun, no lab reports. He will answer questions. I could have done better if I studied more. He drops one exam, btw. No curve.

4 exams besides final, final is not cumulative (just based on the last three chapters). If you get an A before final, you dont have to take it. A little boring class but he is a great person, besides that you have to study a lot by yourself since everything goes to the exam. Exams are fair but you do HAVE to study. He gives extra credit in exams
