Going into this class, I thought it was gonna be hard but Tran made it wonderful for me and I passed with a B (Never got a B in math). Homework doesn't count that much towards your grade. On a side note, she has an accent but it's not hard to decipher. And she tries really hard to enunciate so her lovely students can understand. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Im very bad at math, but this teacher is amazing and I did great in this class! There are only three tests and one final, you do have weekly quizzes and homework but it is super easy if you pay attention to the lectures! Quizzes are like four questions, she also gives you 12 late passes for homework which is great. Would definitely recommend.

Professor Tran is literally the sweetest! There is classwork every day but it's super short only about 2 problems. The hw is due every Friday, no midterm, no final exam, only a final project. She gives short quizzes about every other week but it's not too difficult. She's always willing to help and encourages asking questions. She's the best :)!

This class was the best math class I've taken. Professor assigns daily class work, 1-2 homework assignments per week, and a quiz on Thursdays that's then due on Fridays. Assignments were all online on a website and fairly easy and short. Attendance isn't mandatory as she records every lecture. 3 exams total for this class.

GO TO CLASS. If you care about getting an A or passing - you must go to class. The material is so much easier when you learn it in a lecture versus teaching/reading about it on your own. When you do go to class, it is very difficult not to do well or at least get the grade you want. HW is long but doable just give yourself a few days to do it.

She was awesome I recommend that you show up every day for class. You have a classwork problem very often. She let us use one page of notes for each exam. I also recommend you skim through the textbook and her notes so you understand a concept better. It was the easiest math class I have ever taken.

Professor Tran anticipates that this course will be a prerequisite for a more advanced calculus course so the course load reflects that. Daily homework and weekly quizzes that require several hours of work a day. I attempted this class with a full time job and found myself completing homework and quizzes on my lunch break due to strict deadlines.

The best math professor I've ever had. She goes over all of the questions for the classwork assignments with us and shows us how to do them. These same questions are on the homework/quizzes/exams just with different numbers. There is classwork and homework every day and a quiz or two every week, but this is a summer class so it's more rigorous.

She has a really great spirit towards the class but if you don't do the reading, and the web assign you definitely won't pass the class.For a slower learner her class is super difficult to keep up with, and the homework can sometimes be insane. If you take her class just know that reading is necessary, do homework early and tests can be difficult.

She sucks on honestly helping you. Takes super long to answer emails & sometimes won't even do it. She gives you an attitude for help, which is honestly intimidating seen with other students too. No teacher should make you feel like this. She won't tell you your grade until it is available but won't post it. I wouldn't want her as my teacher again.

Class was very doable just put in effort. Don't need to read the textbook she gives unless you want to or miss class. Grades on classwork every class. Tests not hard and are all questions she gives on the classwork. She can be a little scary to talk to with questions because you are expected to study material yourself. Also very flexible just ask.

If you want to fail and not understand the content take the class, she doesn't explain anything, and her strong accent makes it hard to understand the few things she explains.
