She is extremely helpful! She will go over problems multiple times until you understand. Homework is due regularly. She will prepare you for the quizzes and tests, sometimes giving the actual problems from the test, and just changing the numbers. If you study your notes from her lectures and do the homework, you'll pass!

She is an excellent professor I had. I took her for math 115 and Stats. She gives great examples so that students can easily understand the math problems. She made Stats easier. In Stats instead of using the calculator she provides us to use excel. She had to leave mid semester due to her pregnancy and we had another teacher cover the class.

If u do ur part and do all she asks its an easy B. Upon encouragement she also gives extra credit. What else can one ask for. I love her so much!!!

I had Professor Duong for Math 260 (Precalculus). She is clear and concise. Often she says, "I'm lazy, so I like to do it the easy way." This is true and she shows you ways to do math easier. What I like most is that she takes notes in class then makes them quickly available after class. If you follow her notes and attend class you will succeed.

She is one of the best math professors ever.
