He is very difficult and he thinks you are purposely trying to get him angry by not understanding how to do certain math problems. He teaches by fear and intimidation. He is strict. If you are not very good at math,don't take his class.
He tries his VERY best to help you understand the course. He even make up a pre-test to prepare you for the real test and goes over all the questions to make sure you understand it. AWESOME Proffessor!!! Take HIM!!
i did not pass his class :( but he tryed hard to help , helped after class and wants me to take a lower math course next semester and then come back. overall i believe u need to come in his class prepared if u are u will do fine. WORK FROM THE BOOK.
He is a great teacher especially if you need math to be explained well. I recommend his for anyone who is not so great in math. He is very helpful and wants you to do well. He even takes time to help you if you need help while taking a higher math clas
Take him if you want to pass the class. He is easy. I got an A without putting so much affort on the class. Just do the homeworks and u'll do just fine. Listen to his lecture too. Well, Math 150 is not a hard class anyway.
Mr. Nguyenhuu is by far the best math teacher I've ever had. All through high school, I never got math, and then I got to college, took his class, and all of a sudden it all makes sence. He is not strict at all. You just have to apply yourself.
nguyenhuu is the man. knows ways to make it so easy for u. doesnt turn algebra into rocket science like most teachers. very positive attitude. funny as well. A+
He is so darn good in teaching, he explain the problem clearly, he is the best teacher that i ever had. you guys should take him if u guys got Math 130 or math 150. i wish that he teach not only taht 2 classes !!!
rick is a great teacher.he doesn't have much tolerance for people who don't apply themselves though.one day my homework was incomplete because i got stumped on it at home and couldn't finish it.i decided to tell him and he gave me another chance to do it.
Mr. N is always there to teach you more if you need his time and attention. Took him for summer and gave us the option of taking the final if we weren't happy with our grade (I got an 89%). Great teacher, would take him again if he taught 170.
Nice and Helpful but he can throw a good temper tantrum sometimes. Afterwards he usually apologizes.
I have had him for math 130 and 150 and he is a great teacher. Explains things very well and gives out a study sheet before tests. Study that sheet really hard and you will Ace his tests. I got an A in 130 and Im going to get one it 150 i hope.
He teaches by fear and intimidation and embarrasses you in front of the class if you get a wrong answer on an in-class worksheet. Don't take his class if you're not very good at math. What a jerk!
Mr. N is the best professor alive, i took him for 130 and 150. i used to suck at math until i got into his class, now i need him to teach stats because i am really struggling in it without Mr. N to teach it to me. he is GREAT, TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET IT!
only reason i put very easy is because im good at math. he doesn't know how to teach and throws a temper tantrum everyday(mood swings). i taught myself the material most of the time and he is not recommended.
this guy is fun, he can get really excited about what he's teaching. i thought he explained things very well. as long as you apply yourself, you'll do fine in his classes.
The people unhappy with Mr. N need to grow up. This is college. If you're embarassed because he points out your mistakes so the class doesn't make the same, then go back to H.S. Great Math professor. Makes it easy to understand. Will work with you if only u ask. Take him if math is not your strength
Mr. N was the first math teacher that I have ever had that actually made sense. I am not so good at Math and he prepared me so well for what was to come later. He is a wonderful teacher.
Not Very helpful.
Before taking his class, I was horrible in math. I was very surprised with his teaching style, which is actually VERY clear and easy to understand. Highly recomended.
Not a good teacher. struggled through the class and he would not give me more then a few seconds help. but it seemed that the people who really got the material and were stuck on one problem, he would spend 5 minutes there to help them. maby more. he not a fair teacher. not recomended
OMG Mr Nguyenhuu is yummy and hot. His class can be tough at times. He gives lots of homework, and attendance is a must. He can also be a Drama Queen and be very moody(has lots of mood swings) at times. take his class you wont be sorry.
He is a good math teacher! I recommend him for people who aren't that good at math because he gives you review worksheets before tests. And he's also very amusing. I always laugh when he erases the chalkboard.
This is the best teacher that i could have ever asked for! I had him in the fall semester and for spring i transfered to Mt. Sac finding the worst math teacher on the planet. Rick explains the material VERY well, and always asks if the students understand it. He has a great teaching method, and will always take the time to help you. PICK RICK
great instructor. very clear. grades fairly on tests. just do all hw and you will pass. Im not good in math and I got a B in 130 and 150. take him to pass.
A great math teacher hands down. He goes over and over anything you don't quite understand until you do.
All I have to say about this guy is that he is a major drama queen who is very hormonal. Nguyenhuu is a great instructor and grades fair. He gives some extra credit. I highly recommend him
THE GREATEST MATH TEACHER ON THE PLANET. NEVERMIND WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY. I TOOK MATH 130 & 150 WITH HIM AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME EVER IN MY LIFE I RECEIVED A'S IN MY CLASS. HE IS VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
i earned A's on all of the tests! this guy is a miracle worker!
totally funny!! i love his style of teaching. he is so energetic! great teacher.
He was great! He is very helpfull and he may even let you retake some of the tests you dont do so well on! If it wasnt for him I would not of passed this class. He kept pushing me to keep up with the class. He is also a crack up. He makes time fly by.
good looking man, wears hip clothes you can sometimes see his stomach when he writes on the chalkboard. Sometimes can be distracting if you know what i mean... Good man. Not a lot of homework, tests are ok. Great class
great teacher, everyone should take him at least once, I hated math before him, now I hate it a lot less, bottom line he makes math understandable.
really good
You'd have to be lazy to do bad in his class. Best math teacher at this school so far.
If you miss a test you fail the class even if you are not physically able to be present.

I have to say he is the best Math teacher. I think the people who rated him bad are slackers. He not only teaches math he teaches responsibility to the students by making them show up to class. AND by the way, if he likes you, and you show interest, he will let you turn in your hw assignments late if you miss class.
i have to say he is the best math teacher i have ever had! i finally get math! so i highly reccomend people to take this teacher. he's easy, understandable, helpful, and makes the teaching fun. TAKE HIM!!!!!
he is best math teacher i ever had. he is easy, understantable...he always act he is mean on the first class... he just act... he is super easy going .... he wants everybody understand in the class.. he go over the homework... he is good looking guy... cute eyes...but short..
I took Rick for both math 130 and 150. I wouldn't have taken him the second time if I didn't think he was a good teacher. Sometimes he's a little difficult to understand. But coming from a person who is bad at math, Rick taught me alot. I recomend him to ppl with difficulties in math. Don't let his strict behavior decieve you.he's really a nice guy
he's a GREAT TEACHER! explains things very well. i understand math becoz of him. he helps you. his tests arent hard. just know your stuff. hOmework isnt that bad. its alot somedays, and there are days that arent bad at all. its an EASY A if u do your homework and do really well on your test.
Great math teacher. Will try to come off as strict, but ends up being fairly lenient. He will get mad though if you don't respect his time - but it's worth taking him. Very helpful on the exams too. Review packets are always almost identical to the exams.
the best math teacher ever!! i have never done so well in math and was able to gain confidence in myself through his teaching... he showed me even i could do it... if i could take him again i would!!!
i loved mr. nguyenhuu's teaching style. for someone who doesn't understand math and needs a full proof way to understand and get the right answers, take rick!
Hey is the best Math teacher I've had. His homework helps you on the test as do his packets. He's not trying to trick you, just do your work and you'll be fine. It was my first A in math at the college level. P.S. Don't take Everest.
He teaches well. But he can be pretty snippy and rude. If you ask about something and then still don't understand it, WATCH OUT! He kinda gets irritated if you don't get it right away. But as far as instruction goes he's pretty good at explaining how to solve problems.
Very explanatory and easy to fallow in math 150.
Mr..oops..Ms Nguyenhuu is a great instructor, however, my only complaint about him is that he tends 2 act like a little queen, princes, playboy, and perfect 10 model- ie...Paris Hilton. My other compalint is that he's a terrible dresser. Any who, his exams are ez & there's lots of hw. I highly recommend his class.
Warning!!! Mr. Wigwan aka Nguyenhuu is the worst teacher I have ever had. He is sooo b#tchy, vain, and ****. This guy gives too much hw and his test are extremely difficutl...uhhh. I will never ever take a class with this princes again. Ladies be careful he would constantly cheek me out. But I must say he is by far the best looking guy on campus.
This is probably the best teacher on the math staff. easy, helpful if u need it and just plain nice. definitly going to take his Calculus class.
hard to understand but is funny , easy teach
Mr. N doesn't assign too much homework, and he only picks problems applicable to what we're studying. He's really clear and makes even word problems easy. The tests aren't too long or too hard... and I suck at math! Take him. He's a keeper. He's cute too, so that definitely helps. You won't mind that he can be a little cocky LOL.
First Year teaching Calculus and all I got to say is that Mr. Nguyenhuu is extremely confusing when he is teaching Calculus, he skips steps, He is not clear when he teaches, I thought I was pretty good math until I got into his class, Nguyenhuu just has a problem getting the concepts across to us and he has a lot to learn.
He is a very nice teacher. He is very fair and loves to help if you ask for it. He will meet you half way. When you dont, try he doesnt try. When you do try, he will give you a good grade
He can be a little snappy but he explains everything clearly. He's always around if you need more help. The tests come straight out of the homework and lectures. I got an A in the course.
He made math easy! I think he is so cute! Great teacher!
this guy is great. wonderrful teacher. understanding. helpful.
Best math teacher at citrus. Gives homework every night but just checks for completion. As long as you do the hw (if I can do it, trust me you can too) the tests will be so easy and the class is an easy pass. Very precise in lesson plans actually makes math kinda fun.
Be careful you might think you are passing the class and don't get any warning until it's too late to drop. This teacher makes fun of students so that they are afraid to ask questions. No tests are dropped and the final is worth 2 whole tests! So basically you can be passing the class until the final!!! Makes too many mistakes in teaching.
Good teacher. In order to pass the class you need to do the homework. If you miss class you are not allowed to make up the assignment assigned that day, but you are allowed to turn in the previous homework. Tests are based soley from lectures and homework. No new things are thrown in. Review packets for each test are given. PAY ATTENTION!
Really good teacher. Lots of homework but not hard at all.
Maybe it's because I have him for summer school and everything is so condensed but I'm not really impressed with his teaching abilites. He is so unorganized and goes through things SO FAST. We get out an hour early every day, nice, but it is sometimes frustrating that he doesn't take time to thoroughly explain things. Avoid summer school I guess
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TEACHER. Does not have feelings, tons of hw, drops you if you miss more than 3 classes, mean to students and made them look like fools and made TOO many mistakes all the time. do yourself a favor by not taking him!!!
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TEACHER. Does not have feelings, tons of hw, drops you if you miss more than 3 classes, mean to students and made them look like fools and made TOO many mistakes all the time. do yourself a favor by not taking him!!!
i loved his class. i passed with flying colors. i took it during the summer session and yes, it was a lot of work and very condensed but I was not overwhelmed. I really like his class
I think he is the greatest math teacher I have every had. He cares about his students. He is very clear if you give him a chance and all his mistakes are only because he does the problems in his head quickly, he really does know his stuff. I took him twice because he really is a great teacher.
He's the BEST math teacher I have ever had! I highly recomend people to take this teacher. He's easy, understandable, helpful, and makes the class fun. HW, quiz and test very easy. RECOMMENDED 100%
OMG HE IS AMAZING!! BEST MATH TEACHER I EVER TOOK AT CITRUS, AND IVE TAKEN THEM ALL FOR 150 [TRUST ME] TAKE HIM HES REALLY GOOD...AND HE HAS A NICE BODY TO LOOK AT HAHA
best math teacher i have ever taken. i failed this class before with everest (dont take) & got an A in this class no problem. Never really had to study cuz he explained so well in class, hw is a must but gives you plenty of time in class to do it & explains so well. I couldnt believe i did so well so easily, i took summer. didnt need book
wonderful teacher.. took his class twice cus hes such a great person. He cares and wants you to pass. I suck at math and i passes both 130 and 150 cus of him.. highly recomended.. great guy
Prof. Ngyuenhuu is siick! He makes algebra simple, is willing to work with you on any level and realizes that "we're not all good at math". You can get extra-credit in his class and you'll get an A in his class for sure as long as you show up.
Excellent professor, I believe. Crystal clear in his lectures that left very few questions from the class, but was there to accommodate his students whenever we needed it. He was fun too, I was happy to have known him.
I was very fortunate to have Prof. Rick for Math150., he makes math so easy that by the end of the semester you'll love math. I got an easy A, do the homework, pay attention in class and you'll be fine. 110% RECOMENDED!
This is one of the best professors you can find at citrus. Very clear, helpfu, humorous, and easy. Take him for whatever math class. I took him for calculus and it was a breeze.
mr. nguyenhuu is a great math teacher for MATH 150..i took his clawss during the six week winter session and got a B...he is very helpful and if you take good notes, go to class and do the homework you'll definately pass.
WOW! What can I say about Nguyenhuu? He is an excellent professor! I had so much difficulty with math before I entered his class, but now I know so much more and am so much more conident in my abilities thanks to Mr. N! I am definitely going to take another class with him in the future. I definitely reccommend him!
FOR ALL THOSE NON MATH PEOPLE THIS IS THE PROFESSOR YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS CLASS WITH.HE IS AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR.HIS TECHNIQUES ARE GREAT.PRIOR TO TAKING HIM I DROP MATH 150 BEFORE BUT I WAS VERY SATISFY & HAPPY FOR TAKING THIS CLASS AGAING WITH THE RIGHT PROFESSOR.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
FOR ALL THOSE NON MATH PEOPLE THIS IS THE PROFESSOR YOU WANT TO TAKE THIS CLASS WITH.HE IS AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR.HIS TECHNIQUES ARE GREAT.PRIOR TO TAKING HIM I DROP MATH 150 BEFORE BUT I WAS VERY SATISFY & HAPPY FOR TAKING THIS CLASS AGAING WITH THE RIGHT PROFESSOR.HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR.N
extremely helpful, obviously he really loves math and is willing to solve every single problems in the hw and the review test worksheet. Every problems in the test are predictable, because every time he offers us "review test" before test. And he will tell us what problems are gonna appear in the test. Just take all his classes.
he was a vary good teacher! i failed my first time around and the second time i got a B. he is kind of rude to you if you piss him off but he is really there to help you and wants everyone to suceed. He review RIGHT BEFORE the test and the revie is JUST LIKE the test... anddd never used the text book.. never.. so dont get it.
best teacher at citrus i highly recommend him. i did not get math til i took him. he doesn't go on to a new lesson until everyone knows it his test are easy if you get the review quest. you will ace the test. I took him in the summer and cant wait to take him again. If i were you i would definitely take his class! And you dont need a book.
oh my god! He is the best math teacher EVER. I've failed intermediate algebra, like, 3 times...yeah, that's how horrible at math I am. I never understood any teacher, until Mr Nguyenhuu. He breaks problems down, step by step. He helps you with the homework during class, which is awesome. He's really a great teacher. Attendance is a must thoug
I HATE MATH! but, he made it bearable. I tried my best and was only absnet a few days, and I probably really earned a D in the class but he passed me with a C. He is very helpful if you ask him for help.
NGUYENHUU IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER. HE IS SO HELPFUL AND FUNNY & REALLY KNOWS HOW TO EXPLAIN WORD PROBLEMS. I USE TO SUCK AT MATH BUT I FEEL REALLY CONFIDENT GOING INTO 170 AFTER TAKING HIM. ONE THING, ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED!
He is the best math teacher ive ever had!!!! super funny and extremely nice, just do your homework and ask him questions when you are stuck and you will do so well in his class!!!!!!
He was one of the nicest math teachers I've ever had and very helpful!
just make sure you do all your homework. it really helps in keeping your grades up. his reviews are key, so make sure you know how to do everything that is on the review sheet. If you pay attention and want to be in this class, Mr. N is really funny and the class is actully fun.
Rick is an AMAZING teacher! Not only does he help you understand the concepts through ways we can remember he relates himself to us since many people do no like math. I hated HATED HATED math but thanks to him I strongly believe now that I actually like it! He is great if you need help just make sure you do the homework because its MANDATORY!
Great professor; he is really an understanding guy and his enthusiasm brings something new to the table. If you are thinking about taking calulus, take it with him.
What a genuinely great teacher! In his class, I became confident in my math skills, something I didn't think I had ever before. I even got my first 100% on a test! It was not easy, but I really learned the concepts well, and that helped me a lot when I went on to statistics.
he is the worst teacher i have ever had. i've never disliked a class like this one. he cant teach, he cant explain and he has favorites. he always in peoples personal business. overall really rude. his 'workshops' are terrible. if your bad at math just be his friend and u will do fine!!!! even the 'math chanllenged' were allowed to pass. terrible!!
Rick is a crack up, isn't it? lol he's super excited about math but he does make mistakes so just stay on top of him about them. and like he says, homework is the virtue of his class, if u skip class too much and don't do ur homework, forget about passing. but he is a crack up, and u never use the book
The subject matter itself isn't easy, but he's one of the better teachers. There's only 4 tests and that can make it hard if you do poorly on one of them. The final is worth two tests so the final can make or break your grade.
haha this guy kept me laughing, not because he's funny, but because of his lack of basic english skills. "we will taking the test after the break, isnt it?" haha prepair for lines like that all semester. he's chill though.
Awesome calc prof! He cuts out all the fluff and teaches you what's important. The homework can be really challenging, but you'll get full credit if you attempt every problem. The tests are concise and straight-forward. Best part of all: no textbook use. I'm not a natural math person, but in his class, I rocked. He must be doing something right...
I never thought I would get Calc, I failed it the first time so everyone kept telling me to take it with Nguyenhuu and they were right. He's an awsome teacher, explains everything so its easy to understand, the class was fun and he was super funny, I totally recommend him. I even got an A on my final which was amazing.
Do Not be fooled by the comments below mine. Stay away from Nguyenhuu! If math is not a strong subject for you, you will not do well in his class. He teaches by intimidation and makes you feel stupid when you don't get the right answers on your worksheets. He embarasses you by yelling out, "Wrong!". He's mean and can't teach.
I took this class because my bf told me to take him. i had to schedule my entire class day around his class because it was only offered one day...but totally worth it. He is so easy as long as you do ur hw and review sheets you will be fine. Only thing is he can be kind of a jerk, if you piss him off. Attendance is a must.
he is such a great teacher!!! he gives out study guides before the test and they are very helpful! hes an amazing math teacher! i strongly recommend him =]
He's very kind & helpful! Doesn't use textbook; teaches in his own way. The way he teaches you how to do things really simplifies & speeds up hw, which is always easy (answers are written on hw). Tests are never very long. Only problem is he some times makes mistakes w/answers on hw. But he's so nice, funny,helpful, and kind of a cutie :) Take him.
He is the best teacher to take for math! seriously the best! super easy and very simple. wants to see his students succeed. super halarious! loved the classs!!
I THINK HE IS SUPER NICE, MOST OF THE CLASS PASS THE CLASS, HALF OF THE STUDENT GOT AN A.. HE IS VERY HELPFUL TOO
Prof.N was an excellent teacher! I am not a math person and i got an A in his class. He explains the problems step by step! And his tests are based off of the homework given. I recommend him!
Awesome Professor! Has his own teaching method which might throw you off in the beginning. But he explains everything very thorough and always cracks jokes!
best teacher IN THE WORLD, he explains everything very thouroughly and he is a funny guy
He explained the material so clearly that the entire class seemed like a breeze. The workshops you just do homework in and he pops in every now and then to answer any questions we have. Anything you don't understand he will explain for you until you do understand it. Extremely patient with his students. Don't disrespect him either.
DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! I WARN YOU!!! IF YOU DO YOU WILL REGRET IT!! DONT BE FOOLED BY THE OTHER COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing teacher. Explains things very clearly and won't move on until everyone gets it. Gives study guides right before the tests and goes over every answer. Just show up to class and do the homework and you should be fine by the time the tests come around.
Math was something that I have struggled with since I started middle school, but none of that seemed to matter in this class. This teacher helped me understand everything and makes math easy to those like me who have always struggled.
I'm currently taking this class and it is a struggle for me mainly because he goes quick. he doesn't use the book. he gives us worksheets instead. has us review before the test. i hope i pass this class even with meeting with a tutor once a week. =|
Great entertainer but Horrible teacher! Go's way to quickly, confusing, cant understand him at times, and rude. The only thing good about the class were the jokes. I actually liked him as a person. Try him out. I'm just explaining my experience with Rick.
I am currently taking him & I think he is very easy. You might not understand him but you understand the math techniques he shows.Ive tried other teachers & so far he is the best. He could go a little slower but he gives you a lot of practice which is good. I make a a lot of stupid mistakes but the work is easy. I almost got an A in all the tests!
He explains very well and makes an extra effort to make sure you grasp at least the basic concept. His method of teaching is real, if you are afraid of math, he will help you understand even the most complicated concept. Obviously you need to attend every single class, do the homework and respect his class.Go to his office, he will help you.
Great teacher he has his own unique teaching skills he will go above and beyond to help you pass. I think when people say they don't "understand" him or his method of teaching they're talking about the slight language barrier, he does have an accent, but nothing to cry about! You can still "understand" him.
Very enthusiastic, and WANTS you to pass. Willing to help and very nice. Lot's of homework however, he has worksheets for homework more than textbook work. Overall, very nice guy and always willing to help.
Very good instructor, very thourough. Will work with you, wants you to pass (but also to learn!). Sweet guy, his accent is not bad at all. I would take him for stats - if he taught it :(
This guy is amazing. I failed Math 150 once before and I'm so glad that I took it again with him. He's a great guy who really wants you to grasp the concepts. He's very helpful. We only used the book twice since he makes his own worksheets. Do not be late, and do not miss a single day of class.
BEST TEACHER EVER! take him if u want to pass a any math class :)
Amazing. Made me love math again! Thank you Nguyenhuu!!
great teacher the class is easy not too hard when u pay attention and ask questions whenever u have one
Mr. Nguyenhuu is a great professor. He explains the lessons slowly and clearly. Make sure to go to his workshop that he has after class. It's a great time to talk to him, and do the homework. He pops in eventually to go over questions. He really takes the time and goes out of his way to help the students in his class.
great teacher! he really knows how to teach and nobody seemed to really be too lost on how to do problems. attendance is a must, if you miss 3 classes, he'll kick you out of the class. funny guy though!
This Teacher is sick. I swear he made me like math. Thank you Mr. N.
Awesome professor for calculus.I truly enjoyed his class.I will admit,you do need 100% of his attention or you will be lost.I say this because he teaches way too fast.Extremely helpful if you're lost.Recommend to do all the homework,and review his study guides a lot.
I hate/suck at math and I LOVED this teacher. He made math so easy to me, why can't all math teachers be this amazing? He's funny sometimes but explains the material so well. You have to print out the worksheets which you do in class. There is hw every night, book needed and in class study guides for test. There are also SI sessions for extra help.
Mr. Nguyenuu is a nice guy. Knows his math and will take his time if you speak up. He is a funny guy with great mannerism's. Bring him gum and you may get on his good side.
Mr. Nguyenhuu is a very helpful instructor. Besides being strict, he is also funny and makes class fun. Gives hw; but not a lot. Tests are easy; study the review sheet and u will do good on tests. I highly recommend Mr. Nguyenhuu to students who are going to take math 150
Mr. Nguyenhuu will push you hard from day one, but he is energetic and passionate about his subject. He is all for helping students understand the material and wants everyone to be sucessful. He gives a fair amount of hw but i've seen worse. His tests are straight forward and if you study the review sheets, you should be just fine.
Awesome Professor!!!!! I highly recommend him to anyone. He doesn't give tricky test when taking a test it seems like you are doing a regular worksheet. He is funny!!!!!! He is very helpful!!!! He is just great!!!!!
greatest math teacher I have ever had. I've failed so many math classes before, but Mr. Ngyunhuu made the class fun and understandable. I highly recommend him!
I loved taking his class. He is VERY funny, always made me crack up. He gives a lot of homework, but it helped me get an A in his class. They are mostly work sheets and sometimes you will finish them in class. Don't buy the book just make photo copies of the pages he assigns I recommend taking him if you like math and understand it fairly well.
It was my second time taking this class. I took everest but he just wasnt organized. I heard about MR. RICk and I don not regret taking him for math. I got 90% on tests and he gives you a review for test. His very clear and finds ways that are easier to solve. BEST TEACHER ON CAMPUS I TAKEN! He does give out a fair amount of hw but it's to help you
Math is not my thing, but Rick made himself available to help me before class. He gives 100% and expects you to do the same. As long as you put forth the effort, you will do well in his class. He's a great teacher and yes, he can be strict in class - but considering I was a little older when I took the class with a bunch of youngsters, I think he was only seeking the common respect a teacher should get. Not a class of unruly teenagers.
MR. NGUYENHUU MADE MATH VERY FUN AND HIS TEST ARE SO SIMILAR TO THE REVIEW QUESTIONS. HE IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER EVER. HIS LECTURE IS SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND, WHEN HE EXPLAINS IT. SO DON'T MISS HIS CLASSES, OR YOU WILL BE LOST! TAKE HIM!!
The best math teacher at Citrus and absolutely the best math teacher I've ever had. He made everything so clear and easy. I passed with an A and got 100% on most of the tests. A fair amount of work but nothing too serious, just pay attention and you should do fine. Rick is a very nice and funny guy, I would strongly recommend him!
HW is just right. He gives you his own worksheets and test questions are like worksheet questions. This will help you SO MUCH. I have had several math professors @ Citrus and he is my favorite and teaching style/homework level was the best. So take him if you can!
Professor Nguyenhuu was a great math professor! He explained things very well, especially since I am visual learner so he would show you how to do the problems. He is funny and the work wasn't too much. Sometimes have to finish the worksheets for homework and do bookwork. Wish he taught other math classes. Enjoyed math because of him.
He is a great teacher. I received an A in math for the first time since, 7th grade. I worked hard, but he had a lot to do with it. Awesome teacher and funny!
He goes a bit fast with the lessons, but if you get confused at anytime, you can ask him without hesitation. His tests are like the worksheets he assigns, so do the worksheets. He is very funny and friendly. Def take him!
I honestly hate math because I don't understand anything but with him I found myself catching on a little easier especially taking it during the winter. It went by very fast and it was difficult but he was very helpful and didn't let me give up!
he is not the easiest teacher, but if you ask what you do not get hell teach it to you or have one of his SI teach you until you get it. the key is to ask..and dont worry if he intimidates you its ok hes a straight out guy but very chill..throw yourself and get involved
This math professor is the best one i had. I took Math with another teacher before i took his class and failed miserably. I took Rick 2 semesters later and got an A. He is funny, easy to understand his lessons and not hard at all. TAKE HIS CLASS! You WON'T REGRET IT!
THE BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD IN MY EDUCATION CAREER. NOT JUST FOR MATH BUT OVERALL.
he is by far one of the best math teachers that citrus college has in general. there are about three or four professors in math that are really good and this guy is one of them. he is very approachable and he explains everything so clearly! i recommend taking his class especially if you struggle in math. i struggled a lot until i had him.
I am not a math person but professor Nguyenhuu made the class enjoyable! He is very organized and doesn't try to trick you on the exams. He speaks a little fast but he is very clear and informative on what he expects you to know for your exams. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND HIS CLASS! :) He's also very funny!
Professor Nguyenhuu has to be the best teacher I ever had. I took him for Math 130 & 150. Really sad he doesn't teach higher math classes. I highly recommend him. Don't feel intimidated by him always ask questions he is always willing to help!
Unclear on explanations, disorganized on hw assignments, allows you to make up missed classes, gives extra credit (SI attendance, extra hw/tests) ok class. Not for someone who struggles in math as you would be lost. Unless you plan on learning through SI and by yourself with him as a basic guide, try another class.
Best math professor I have taken so far. He teaches everything in a manner that makes it easier to understand. If you need help he will answer any questions you may have his notes are concise and explain a lot. Attending SI as well will help your better understand.
Great professor! His study guide help a lot for his exams.
He is by far the best math professor at Citrus College. He is consistent with his material and makes it easy to understand. Attendance is very important to him and you can only miss 3 days or he will drop you. He always has a math book and lets people take pictures of assignments from it. The final is crucial. Homework is preparation for the final.
He's a really good professor and cares about his students. He'll go above and beyond in explaining things even if it touch a little bit on higher math levels to do so. Attendance for him is mandatory and you can only miss 2 lectures in his summer course. He even called and woke up one student that over-slept so he can take the final!
He is a very good professor. He will take his time in reviewing class work and homework. He is also patient.
Love to take him again
Math is not my strong point but he made it so much easier. He literally makes the subject so clear and fairly easy. He helps you out whenever you need it and will stay after class to help you. Show up and ask questions and you'll do fine. I am not a math person and still struggled a bit but I actually understood what I was doing for once.
He is so kind! I absolutely recommend him! You do not need the text book. You just do worksheets. Ask if you do not understand, he does not get mad easily. Very flexible with attendance. Communication is his thing. Take him!
Best teacher ever!!! I'm not very good in math but Mr. Nguyenhuu broke everything down so I was able to understand it. Best Math teacher ever . Very Helpful and wants to see his students do well. Take his class
Mr. Nguyenhuu is the best math teacher I have ever taken. He always starts from the very basic and works his way up to the more challenging stuff. Always answers questions clearly and gives practice tests identical to the real tests to make sure you are prepared. I have never been a math person and have always struggled until I took his class!
I never liked math but he makes it easy to understand. He starts off every lesson with a small review. Make sure to keep up with the worksheets and home work, both will help on the midterm and final. Overall excellent teacher!
most boring class ever
I never understood math ever! The last 4 classes I either failed or barely passed. This guy made math so easy to understand. I took him during summer and there was ALOT of work! He goes over any hw questions on the board and gives time for hw. Him and his SI lady Kelly are sooo helpful! He's awesome TAKE HIM!!! I might have gotten an A but idk yet.
He's funny and very well versed in the material. He teaches a bit fast but if you ask questions, he'll slow down to answer. He's a great math teacher and breaks everything down step by step so make sure you take notes during his lecture. I am awful at algebra but I still got a B after working hard for it. Get help with anything you don't understand
There isn't a whole lot of writing, nor is there a lot of reading. The only reason you desperately need the textbook is for the homework assignments. He is available outside of class, but he teaches a lot of classes so the easiest time to talk to him is before and after class.
Good teacher, really enjoyed him, had him as a first teacher overall in college and would recommend him, would take him again.
He's a funny professor but his teaching style is HORRIBLE. He goes too fast with his lectures which are confusing as you go further into the semester. If you ask for specific help from the homework he'll do the work for you on the board rather than helping you understand the concepts. He also doesn't grade the homework and the tests are difficult.
I've taken Professor Nguyenhuu for Math 30 (Winter 2016) and Math 150 (Spring 2016). He's the best math professor at Citrus! He answers homework questions, gives a lecture, and allows time to do homework in class. There are 5 exams (final included) that're fairly easy as long as you do his study guides and understand how to do a problem.
Professor Nguyenhuu is a great professor! He truly does care about his students passing the class and will do all he can to help you. His accent is a bit hard to understand, and he teaches fast but don't be afraid to ask questions! He's very nice and attendance is mandatory!
I loved how he explained the problems last math class I had an f I had an A in his class .friendly also
I took him for math 30 in spring 2016 and math 150 this past summer. He goes over material quickly so if this is all new material (for math 30 specifically) DO NOT MISS CLASS. Cant miss class first 2 weeks or he'll drop you. doesn't really use the book (thank goodness) If you take him for math 30 TAKE him for 150 (similar material)
The book is not necessary. Gives book work a few times but it is much easier to go to library and copy the pages from a rented book. He is very funny and makes sure everyone understands the material. He responds to emails quickly and is easy to talk to. Great teacher and would take again.
Great Professor! Is very understanding. As long as you take notes and do the homework you can pass the class. Explains things very well and walks around to help students. The study guides for the tests are great and most times the study guide was harder than the test itself.
Took his MA30 class during winter and he was very fast paced. Great teaching techniques but does not take enough time while explaining the problem to let it sink in. Always found myself going back in the notes to catch up during lecture. Great assistance during class and tests are very easy.
excellent professor really tough grader on test, but reviews with students 1 on 1.
great professor! explains material very well, book work is minimal which is great. His math worksheets are great help. By far best math professor
One of my favorite professors while at Citrus College. Tests are weighed heavily, however he gives perfectly clear lectures. He has no problem slowing down to help students, also very funny and caring about his students. The study guides are basically the test with small changes to the number, but the test has smaller more manageable numbers.
HE is a good professor his lectures are clear and the notes are very helpful if you like to miss class dont take him you will fail guaranteed
Great Professor, sometimes goes a bit fast but just ask him to slow down. No problem answering questions from students, available just about all day in his office hours. If you cannot make class or need kind of special accommodation, communicate with him and he will always make it work for every student, very caring.
Nguyenhuu was the best! He is an amazing teacher and he is very clear during lecture. He prepares you well for all the tests and tells you in advance. He is caring and spends lots of time helping students understand. Homework and notes are important to passing. I would definitely take his class again!
He was very funny, but also very hard to understand sometimes.
Great Teacher. Will answer any questions and take his time to help you out. Homework and notes will really help you on the test
He teaches fast and with a heavy accent. Not bad. No mymathlab or book necessary. Use the embedded tutor!
Math has always been my weakest subject & I was afraid that I wasn't gonna do so well in this class since I haven't been in school for 6 years. It's a good thing I took professor Nguyenhuu's class because I have learned sooo much from him! He's caring, professional, and on point. Take notes, show up to class & do all the HWs and you will pass!
He is a wonderful professor!! He assigns lots of homework and his lectures are pretty long but he makes learning the concepts very easy! He occasionally moves very fast but he slows down and before tests he reviews the first half of class before the tests are taken.
Math is my worst subject but I did very well in this class! He assigns a lot of homework and homework is worth a lot so make sure you do the hw! Tests are basically questions from the homework . He answers all questions and makes the lessons very understandable and easy to grasp!
Professor Nguyenhuu was my first instructor after a 15-year hiatus, and ultimately his tutelage gave me an entirely different trajectory, from C.S. major to Pre-Engineering. His delivery of each lesson is very digestible, and his metaphors pertaining to real life are hilarious. If you want to love Math, sign up with Professor Nguyenhuu.
thee best professor! Grades fast. Hes a beast at algebra. He does not have a heavy accent. If you show you care he will care for you. Even when you might feel like giving up. He wont. If you want to get good at algebra take him. Hes nice and funny. Dont take his kindness for weakness. He expects from his student, as good professors should
Although you can't fully understand him, he is the best math professor at the school. Lots of homework but you truly do learn and he makes it easy! Tests aren't difficult as long as you study. I would take him again.
Great professor he always makes sure the students understand the material before moving on to the next chapter
Professor Nguyenhuu is a great Professor! He explains many of the math steps very thoroughly. He makes it very easy to learn in his class because he wants to see you succeed! Attendance matters. If you dont show up you WILL forget the material. Theres fair amount of hw and the test are crucial but he will always guide you in the right direction!
Prof Nguyenhuu is AMAZING and makes sure you grasp the concept. He is always around to help and wants all his students to succeed. I have failed math previously and passed his class with an A!! Show up, do your hmwk, pay attention, ask questions and you will pass! 10/10 recommend him
He's great! I never got a grade lower than 96% He's really good, it makes math really easy. I took him for math 130 over the fall, and 150 over the winter. Got a high A both times. Just keep up with the hw and you'll do good.
Math is a subject I really struggle with, but thanks to him I passed the class with an A! Nguyenhuu takes his time to make sure all of his students understand the lesson and answers any questions you may have about the homework.
He was my first math professor my first year in college and he was really helpful. I struggled with math a lot and he would help me, he was determined to help you if you honestly did not understand the problem. He accepts late work and he is honestly a sweet guy. He does give a lot of homework but if you pay attention, then it'll be easy to you.
He is VERY approachable and patient with people. I have always been awful at math and never one to ask questions but he made math easy to understand and was always more than willing to help answer my questions. As long as you do the homework and the study guides you should get a decent grade in his class.
Professor Nguyenhuu is such a caring and amazing professor. He has very thorough lectures and makes Calculus easy to understand. He gives a lot of hw, but if you attend class he does some hw problems in class. He gives study guides out for every test. The study guides are very similar to the tests.
Horrible professor, I am taking his Calculus 1 class during the summer and let me tell you it is so hard because he doesn't teach at ALL, you will have to learn each topic by yourself, he gives lecture notes but none of them help you out on the homework. So if you pick him good luck and get ready to be your own Professor.
DO NOT TAKE ONLINE. Communication was probably the hardest part. My classmates and I were confused for pretty much the entire class. He never lectured, he only posted random youtube videos as "lectures" that did not always align with the hw (which was very work heavy). I do not recommend anyone to take this class if you want to learn.
Took Math 190 with Prof. Nguyenhuu during Summer 2020. He is very straightforward on what is to be expected and how he grades. There was lots of work each week since it's a summer semester, but still manageable if you make the time for it. The class consisted of homework which is done in groups (2-3 people) and 5 exams.
So the zooms aren't mandatory but will help you and if you're at a 89.5% at the end, he'll bump you up to a 90% based on your performance throughout the semester. Sometimes the homework can be a lot and seem hard but if you get through that you'll pass the tests and they take up most of the grade. You will be in a study group so pull your weight.
Professor Nguyenhuu is fantastic! After taking calculus in high school, I was nervous for this class. However, he does a fantastic job at explaining things whether it is during the lecture or in the notes he provides. He is very clear when it comes to test rubrics, and the homework is split into group work so you never have too much. Great class!
Professor Nguyenhuu is the best math professor I've ever had! He offers amazing, clear, and concise lectures, going over questions on homework before class. He is strict when it comes to grading tests, but genuinely wants you to do well and will help you in anyway he can. I would take him for every math class if I could!
I was very afraid to take Calculus but Professor Nguyenhuu made everything understandable. I would highly recommend taking him! One of the best professors I have ever taken.
He's an amazing professor! Homework once a week, due every Monday. Attendance is part of your grade. We were assigned a homework partner which is definitely helpful. We were given a study guide for every test and I strongly recommend doing it. The study guide is almost the same as the test. Easy grader as well. He also gives a rubric for his test.
Very knowledgeable and caring to the class. Professor will show up 30 minutes prior to help any students with questions to lecture, hw, or tests. You are paired with another student for group hw assignments for the term and will accommodate you if you have any issues. Professor cares for his students and provides recordings of the lectures.
I highly recommend him for Calc 1! He was always available before class to answer any questions, and his expectations were clear. Wish he taught calc 2.
Very passionate teacher that will spend time to ensure that you grasped the concept. Super easy if you are present for class every day. He does walkthroughs for all of the tests except the final where he provides hints that call back to previous lessons. There is also very little homework. Great professor.
Professor Nguyenhuu was incredible! His lectures were very clear and he readily welcomes questions for clarification. Before every chapter test, there is a day dedicated to completing a mock test which is genuinely helpful and helps you focus on what to study. Homework was due every week and consisted of a couple pages of problems. Highly recommend
Had him for Calc 190. He makes everything extremely easy to understand and breaks problems apart piece by piece which makes it so much easier to grasp. You can use online calculators for about 35-40% of the homework problems and he let us use cheat sheets for the first few tests. Tests have extremely similar questions to our "mock tests".
Professor Nguyenhuu does the impossible: he makes calculus easy. He gives a lecture that you can take good notes on, uses examples to show students how to apply concepts, gives time at the end of class to do homework, and thoroughly prepares students for exams. If you do the homework and attend class, you will not struggle in this class at all.
He grades attendance even if you are sick or going through life crises. I would of passed his class if he didn't grade attendance. He assumes that when you miss you are just ditching. I wouldn't take him again because he doesn't have sympathy for students who have to miss class for valid reasons.
Nguyenhuu is a decent teacher when he doesn't cross the line. He thinks he is helping students when really he crosses the line between pushing a student to do better and harassing them. He will give amnesty to students he likes, but he is very rude if he doesn't like you. His class is overly attendance-heavy, and he has no sympathy.
Very light workload homework is often completed in class and lectures are filled with example problems to make sure students understand the material. Multiple handouts given with important formulas and identities to know for the unit. Exams are easy and similar to his mock tests plus you are allowed to have a cheat sheet. Overall the best calc prof
took over summer: 98% in class. you need to be prepared to put work in. its calc, its going to be hard. he's the best professor to teach it. his lectures: simple straightforward + easy. don't drop the first week. do the homework, ask questions. he helps you understand. class is lecture heavy, test heavy, but that's math. lets u use notes for tests
He teaches clearly and doesn't have a problem helping students individually if they need help understanding. Quizzes every couple of weeks have a study guide, which he goes over in class. He's there 30 min before/after class and lets students out if they finish their work early. Definitely would recommend this teacher!
My favorite professor for my first semester of college, mainly because I didn't worry about this class at all. He give us time to finish HW during lectures and is great at answering questions. Overall, if you're decent at math and don't have a problem with attendance, he adds a lot of emphasis to it, this class is no sweat.
This class was so easy with this prof. He had 4 quizzes which were a big part of the grade but they were so easy if you did the mock test (he gives one for each quiz). He also gives a study guide that you can write on the back of for each quiz. Final isn't cumulative. He emphasizes attendance and participation. He appreciates studious students.
Nothing wrong w his teaching style; it is quite clear. I do have an issue w his attitude. Seems very highly critical of himself which he sometimes pushes onto his students. He was quite harsh w me for no reason.
Professor Nguyenhuu is probably the best math instructor I've ever had. I took Calculus 1 during the summer, which is definitely challenging. This professor was amazing at explaining things, he is extremely organized and compassionate towards his students. I really enjoyed the way he taught, and I would definitely take him again.
Professor Nguyenhuu's MATH190 class is a breeze if you put in the work. With clear lectures, helpful support, and a manageable workload, this class is perfect for math-savvy students. Unstuck study ai proved invaluable for test prep.
Professor Nguyenhu was the best math teacher I've ever had by far. He breaks down everything in his lectures and makes it easy to understand. If you're struggling with an assignment he will sit with you and talk you through. He is one of the few college professors that actually want to help students learn. Highly recommend taking him.
Professor Nguyenhuu is the best instructor I have had in my 22 years of life. This was my 4th time taking Calc 1 and everything finally clicked. He explains everything in a way that makes sense to me. Most importantly he actually CARES about TEACHING his students, not showing off how smart he is. Cannot recommend Nguyenhuu enough!
Best math professor ever. He explains everything in such detail you can not miss anything and he will sit next to you until you understand which I did quickly. Ask questions and write on the sheet given for the test and you will pass. He is passionate about teaching and he really does care about your learning so even if you struggle he will help.
He is my favorite math teacher I've ever had, his teaching style is amazing he explains very clearly and helps so much if you do not understand the topic. He is very passionate about his teaching and wants everyone to pass his class. Very easy homework gives a study guide to use on tests ( which you can write on). I wish he taught calc 2-3.
great professor, truly cares about you learning the material, will answer any questions during/after class, dedicates class time to your hw packet so he can help you, does mock exam days and provides the answer key after with full steps, and allows 1 cheat sheet during exams. grades attendance! one absence is 25% best professor for calc 1
Please take Professor Ngyuenhuu for Calc1! He breaks everything down easily and will come and help you personally during class if you need it. Lecture is filled with practice problems. Attendance is mandatory do not miss class since his lectures are full of necessary stuff. Ngyuenhuu is the best math teacher at Citrus couldn't recommend him enough!
I can't begin to explain how much I appreciate this professor. Calculus definitely isn't easy, but he does everything to make the class manageable & post importantly passable. Attendance is mandatory & hw is done in class. Gives you a lot to work with to be able to pass the class such as making up classes & office hours. I wish he taught Calc 2!
I took Professor Nguyenhuu last spring. I was expecting Calculus to be super hard and what not. However, it was very doable with this teacher. It only got super hard at the end, but even then I could handle it with hard work. He gives great lectures and the study guides he gives are EXTREMELY accurate to the tests. Put in time and you'll get an A!!
He made me the goat like him at math.
My favorite math teacher I've ever had. I'm shy and struggled a little but he was super kind to me and made an effort to help me, even during the tests! You can even write your own cheat sheet for tests too. Wish I could've taken him for my other math classes.
I had a B the whole semester and I mean the whole semester. Then comes the last test/the final and I absolutely bombed it somehow. My grade went from an 84 to an 78.96. I literally cried for two days straight. I checked my transcripts today and he actually rounded my grade to a B for my final grade in the class. This guy is my GOAT.
