Hi is the best teacher. His lecture is very exited. you have to do your homework, because you will turn in your homework then he will let you have test or quiz. He is helpful for ESL student. He had a lot of method to remember your math. Take him. I got an A in his class.

Mr. Quach is a fantastic instructor. I loved his use of graphs and above him explaining everything thoroughly and not just telling us to memorize formulas. He is definitely a top 5 professor at EVC, and take him if you are motivated; if not you should probably stay away because the class is a bit arduous.

S-per hard instructor: Welcome to boot-camp. About half of the class will drop before the end of the semester. You need to do the homework the way he wants it, otherwise you will not get credit even if you have the right answer to the problems. Exams are difficult and long.

While he is strict on attendance, he is a great teacher who is very caring for his students. He loves telling his class stories as well. The exams are very straight-forward, and the questions are similar to the problems he does in class as examples. He's very passionate about math and enjoys teaching his students.

I took the 2023 Calc 1 summer class with this professor. The hw was very time consuming, but tests were far easier than hw. So I'd say the hw definitely prepares you well for tests. Also, if you got an A on the final, you could drop all other exam grades and get an A in the class, which was nice. Partial credit on tests helps a lot as well.

Homework is 10% but will assign 1-2 hours of homework a night, if you miss one day you will regret it. This class is great for math majors but not great if you don't see yourself using this specific type of applied math in your field. His way or the highway with style conventions, you don't state things the ways he wants he will drop points. Skip.

Professor Quach clarifies what is expected from you as a student on the first day. The homework in the class took hours, but it's not too difficult if you pay attention to his lectures on the day of. Listen in class and any feedback given.

He explains what is expected of you in the first class. He gives great lectures and explains the concepts very well. Clear grading on the tests. Prepare to do a lot of homework (1.5 - 3 hours) to pass his tests. Shares his stories in his classes and is passionate about math. Overall great experience, he made studying calculus enjoyable.

Easily the worst Professor at EVC. Gets very agitated if you ask questions during lecture, gets mad at you if you don't remember something from the past in Math, and makes you feel like an idiot for even asking. He always seems like he pushes you away. Might be better for other classes like calc I but this class? NO WAY. Save yourself.

Terrible professor assigns unreasonable load of work. His lectures consist of going over a few problems with out ever letting you work through them yourselves making me lost on every homework. Does not teach well and expects students to learn the coursework outside of class. DO NOT TAKE this professor unless you want a failing grade.

Professor Quach is a very demanding professor and strict in some aspects. Despite this, he makes it very clear what is expected on exams and genuinely wants to help students understand the material. Do homework problems to prepare for exams and attend office hours to do well. You got to fall in love with DE to get an A in this class.

VERY Homework heavy. If you dont have 3 hours to do homework for one class everyday do not take. While he might give partial credit (not MC), tests are significantly harder. His notes that are given in the modules do not help, if you want to pass his class I recommend taking your own notes and self studying. His lecture examples DO NOT match the hw

Everyone talks bad him but he's an awesome caring professor, I got a B but it was a well deserved B, everyone wants As without deserving it. He's just like any other math professor, he knows his stuff, he's passionate, and he's willing to help, don't take 5 classes with math, it doesn't make sense, so don't blame him if your struggle.

He is undeniably strict and is very clear about what he expects from students. Lectures and example problems do help, but make sure you dedicate at least 3-5 hours per week to homework. Trust me. His exams are way easier than the homework assignments, so you'll be plenty prepared if you work on all of them. I really appreciate his passion for math.

The professor teaches very attentively, he is willing to answer questions about exercises or lectures if you do not understand. There is a lot of homework but if you spend enough time on it, the tests will be extremely easy. If you study hard, listen to lectures, take notes and do the exercises, you can learn.

I'm no lazy student, I genuinely gave it my all for this class. This professor always made me feel bad about myself and always pushed me away anytime I asked a question. I genuinely don't understand how he has good reviews. I understand it's college, but the hw load is just ridiculous. Should he weighed more if that's the case.

Professor Quach is genuinely one of the best math teachers I have ever had. He provides notes before class, and during the lecture, you fill them out. His lectures are very detailed and are open to taking questions during and after the lecture. The homework load is a lot, though. I took him during the summer and had around 2 - 3 hours per day.

Genuinely the worst professor I've ever had. He will go over problems during lecture but not actually teach you what to do. If you have a question don't even bother asking. His attendance policy is absolutely absurd. I once entered the class exactly when class started and was still marked absent because I wasn't there before class began.

4 excused absences but you have to show up 4 days a week. So for reference out of 64 days if you don't show up for 5 days you lose 10% of your grade. Or get dropped :). Join the class late to registration? Those days count as absences as well :). Lots of homework, expect asking for help to come with an attitude of wow your stupid.

His way or the highway. A lot of fake reviews. He's one of the teachers that clearly is scarred from his upbringing and plays victim, instead of manning up and changing himself like he thinks he does. In conclusion a man child who plays off of empathy and self victimizing. Btw don't expect your own scenarios to matter to him. Good luck :)

He definitely cares about math and what he's teaching, he's just not the best at it. He'd leave some work problems unfinished and tell you to finish them later on your own and is very picky about how you do your work. He takes off a bunch of small points on exams which add up. Highly recommend taking somebody else.

Pretty laid back if you're used to teaching yourself. The lectures are okay and the study guides do somewhat match exams. You can even make up credit on exams if you review what you did wrong with him during his office hours. Just make sure to follow the format on EVERYTHING, this will make or break your grade. Other ratings seem a bit harsh.
