Do not take this class. He gives you a false sense of security. He does not know how to teach.
sorry but this man can teach and is the only one who could teach me algebra correctly. excellent professor (in math, cant speak for cis) and he is really nice too.
He's a very good teacher that will teach you what need to know, instead of chatting and goofing of like other professors.

hmm he is a very good teacher and i really like the way he teaches i guess you really have to understand him to like his teaching style.
Excellent teacher. Before taking his class I was scare of Math, but after taking him I feel so at ease and would consider Math as my major. He takes time to go over and over problems and they are consistent with what in the book. I would recommend him
Great professor! Math sucks, but he makes it a little better. He is a very nice person. It is hard to fail his class. Just pay attention, take notes and you will pass.
This teacher sucks, he shouldn't be teaching at college level. His verbal skills are horrible, there is no clarity in his speech. In short, he can't speak english well, what makes it very hard to understand what he means. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!!
good teacher for CS, he helps you understand and only test you on what you know, got an A, dont like computers but it is part of my major,recommend him,, but dont expect to just show up to class and get a passing grade a little studying is required.
Very clear! he explain ever thing set by step and i actually understand what he's saying. great professor and really takes him time to make sure you know it- great prof
Great instructor. He is very helpful and is willing to assist you when it is necessary.
he explains well. if you have any questions he will answer them and go over it again until you understand.
Don't ruin your GPA. I took him for CS w/ C++ This class is hard and when you have a bad professor it just becomes impossible. I ended up with a C. I know I could have done better if I had had a better professor. I struggled throughout the semester.
This prof. seriously is bad. I mean I had to take this remedial class again because of him, I got an F. I passed it the 2nd time with a B+, with Prof.Koehl, totally recommend him.
He is really good Prof. I prefer him.
Great Teacher you have to pay attention but you will get it! I have a hard time getting Math but He explained very well but beware he does not curve at all!!!! Overall good teacher!
Look, this guy is hard to understand, and boring. The material is not that difficult, but I could have gotten a better grade with a more interesting teacher. If you tend to snooze in class with boring teachers, don't take his class.
He will help you if he sees you going to the lab and putting effort in the class. Hes not really that hard. He's really a fair teacher. Really nice. He rather have you learn the hard way and make it stick. If you want to learn something take him
I had him before for Math 1300, his exams are all 20 question multiple choice. It isn't that I just plain don't know the material, but I little mistakes allowed me to go from passing grades to F's on my first two exams. Be careful, he's got a student in the math center to make up the answers for his exams. This means that answers are misleading
cool teacher! Will help you if you show him that you try hard. He is really nice. But you got to commit to the class. Spend alot of time in the math lab and hell help you out.Really patient and helpful.
He gives quizzes nearly every day, but the quizzes come from your homework and it's open notes/book. However, the 3 tests consist of your homework,and quizzes. He tries to be as fair as possible. He curves just a little bit by dropping 2 of your lowest quizzes.
Finite class - I agree with most. Go to the lab and show you are trying. Ask him for help. He is a good guy overall and does want to pass you if you show improvement and effort.
He's a nice teacher, but he's very hard. His tests are all multiple choice and were very difficult. Most of my class either dropped or had below a C. Don't take him!
Great professor, genuinely wants the student to do well. He will always show you the "easy" way to do a problem. Pay attention and do the homework, with Algebra it's all about repitition. He does give a lot of homework but it is very useful come test time. Be weary the final is departmentalized so test does not reflect to his style of teaching.
FINITE-He's not the worst teacher but not the best like Redyl. He isn't sympathetic with personal issues you have at home that may conflict with your school life but if you show up to class everyday and pretend he is the only class and life you have then he's alright. Wouldn't recommend him. Tests are HARD! There's daily quizzes. U BE THE JUDGE....
I do not recommend him for statistics. Took him during summer and I think that was first time he taught Stats, he lacks confidence and caused confusions in the class/exams. He has a fairly heavy accent, but it?s comprehendible. Exams were nothing like the in-class problems and there were no reviews for exams or for the finals.
I agree that he doesnt really know statistics, this summer he went through the easy problems in the class, and doesnt prepare well for exams, if you're looking at just passing with a C it may work, but otherwise get somebody more experienced...
I recommend that you avoid him for Stats. takes his time in class with easy problems, but exams are different story. Class problems and homework are easy, but exams he gets tricky. Maybe department makes exams, and he does not feel comfortable working those harder problems in class. Got a C on his class, all my previous math courses I have A's.
This guy is just ok but he is just too mean sometimes to his students and the way he made the tests are extremely stupid! noone got an A in my class last spring semester!!!NOT RECOMMEND HIM at all!!!
Stats is a tough subject and can be overwhelming if you're not constantly practicing the problems. However, Mr. Nguyen made the subject as easy to understand as possible. Do the homework (not required) and that will help out alot!
Took him this Spring. Great professor would highly recommend him to anyone else, especially those who struggle with Math courses. Do the homework and the study guide. The test comes directly from the study guide!
He was "okay".... He does easy problems... gives reviews for all test but sometimes the problems are tricky.... go to class because if you dont you will miss something ....
Great professor. He started out with easy problems so that students can understand then slowly increase the level of difficulty. He made subject matters fun to learn. If you don't understand anything then just take it to him during his lab hours and he will explain until you understood. Tests are fair. I highly recommend him.
Extremely nice professor. Use plenty of examples on the board. He tries very hard to make students understand the material. I would take him for all my Math classes.
Excellent teacher. Highly recommended.
Best teacher I have ever had. I would recommend him to all my friends.
I would take professor Nguyen for all my Math classes. His way to teaching is so easy to understand. I am slow in Math but he makes the materials interesting and fun and easy to learn.
This teacher really knows the material he teaches and how to teach it to students in the way they will understand. I heard STAT was hard and wasn't going to take it in the summer session but I did and I'm glad I did. I know the material well enough to teach it if I had to, I also made an A in the class.The reviews ARE the Test!
This teacher really knows the material he teaches and how to teach it to students in the way they will understand. I heard STAT was hard& wasnt going to take it in the summer session but i did and i made an A. study the review u will ace the test!
Excellet teacher. He makes things so simple and easy to understand. He is very knowledgable about the subject. I would recommend him to any student. A++
Hands down one of the best professors ever. He is always calm and will always go into detail when he explains his material. Passing the class is up to the student if you listen to the lectures, a very passive but useful professor. Just make sure to listen and you're math troubles are over.
He is a very good professor. He breaks down everything and lets you know exactly what will be on the exams. The homework and quizes are onlined and that was a good 35% of the grade, which you would have no excuse not to complete because you have all semester to complete it.
He is a very good professor. I like that he gives you examples and ways to solve problems on paper as well as on the calculator. He also gives a lot of examples. He can sometimes speak a little low but he is understandable. I definitely recommend him!
I was a transfer student and had not been in school in a while. I spoke to him at the start of semester. He let me sit in on lectures since I was an online student. I thought he was very helpful and really wants his students to succeed. I would highly recommend him! Test are just like the review!!! You have all semester to take HW and Quizez.
There is no way to fail this class. The Professor was very clear on assignments and did not assign too much. Test were extremely fair. If you do the assignments the test questions are taken from the assignments. Thank God I found this professor, he made it so easy.
Tooko this class Summer 2014 and for the first time, I actually enjoyed my math class. Professor Nguyen makes this class easy, but only because video tutorials are provided and they show you exactly how to solve the problems. Also, do the homework because test problems are taken directly from the homework.
Professor was great!!! Had very good notes for the class, explained problems in more than one way ( better than the book explanation) :) Do all of the homework and reviews, it helped a lot with the test and the final..Dont cheat just study and you will do great!!! overall loved this professor recommend taking him and hope I can take him again! :)
Prof. was awesome! he spent time to explain and do ex. of the problems in a way easier than the book. Just do all the homework and make sure to do ALL reviews for the test and you will be fine. He helps as much as he can and gives you all the tools, its up to you to pass.
Professor Nguyen is simply awesome! He takes you step by step and will make sure you understan and are on point with him. He really wants you to pass. I like that he writes on his lap top. Do your homework as he goes.
Took for Algebra 1. Tests are online in class. Take good notes. Do homework as he goes. Clear notes. A little hard to understand accent. Would take again. Did not open textbook, just buy online code (access to online textbook with access code).
He is a great professor! He teaches at a slower pace, but he does that to make sure you fully understand. He will take the time to help you after class. Attendance isn't mandatory for your grade. (Although i recommend attending.) Best part is My Math Lab isn't due until the last day of class so you have plenty of time!
Mr. Vien is very nice and caring person. Took it for summer 2015. Class is not too hard he will work the problems with you in class in a slow pace. Tests are not hard, Make sure you study the review and class notes. He will take attendance everyday. He want you to try on your own and then ask him questions. Highly recommended.!!!
Easy Class. Took him in the Spring Semester of 2015. He did not take attendance but I recommend attending because he does explain well. He answers all questions and you will know what you are doing by test time. I only got a B because I bombed the test I was skipping class for. Lol. Passed with an 89 though.
Only went to class for the first ten days which is mandatory, and the 4 test days we had which he posted since the beginning. Got 100 in all my test and gives extra credit if you finish your mymathlab homework on time. May be a lot for my math lab but an easy class easy A.
Do the homework and reviews before the tests.
4 tests are based off mathlab, final is based off pop quizzes. do homework and he will give you bonus points. good teacher will teach you through calculator.
I took him both for Finite math and Calculus (1306) and got an A for both classes. He is easy to understand. Write everything he writes! Gives 10 extra points if homework and test review are above 90. Test reviews are pretty easy, and the final tends to be similar questions to the review, if not sometimes even the same problems. Make sure to study!
i took professor nguyen for online business calculus winter 2017. I have always had many troubles with online coarses yet i found this coarse very helpful. I know if i had taken any other professor i would at least drop a letter grade for sure. if you want to take this online class and have time to do mymathlab think no longer and take him!!!
He doesn't talk to the class AT ALL. No extra credit, no dropping grades, tests are only open 1 day which is inconvenient, and you get only 1 chance. HW is only worth 20%, 4 tests, and final is cumulative and 32% of grade. It feels like he doesn't care if we do well.
I took his online class for Finite math and Calculus (1306) and got an A for both classes. The final tends to be similar problems to the 3 chapter test problems, along with the final chapter added. Make sure to study! I am now enrolled to take him for Stat 3309, on campus. I recommend taking him.
Professor Nguyen, class is lay out simple, with everything online. So it makes it easy to have busy schedule, and still be involved in his class as attendance wasn't mandatory. 3 test you have to do in person, test were set up easy similar to reviews. Homework were harder, there homework for every section. Though Professor has true love for math
Missing class is not an option. Very helpful in class. Explains things nice and slowly.
I took Stat 3309 with him. He is an excellent professor. He is clear, precise and detail. He explains everything in easy steps. I would highly recommend him.
Professor is the best professor ever! Simple and easy way to pass. He provides all the tools and explain so easy. IF you cannot pass this class with an (A) or (B) please do not keep studying. I took his 2 classes in one term and get (A) in both classes. I love this class and I would take this class again.
Professor is the best professor ever! Simple and easy way to pass. He provides all the tools and explain so easy. IF you cannot pass this class with an (A) or (B) please do not keep studying. I took also fast track, 2 classes in the same spring term (Math-1305-1306) and got (A) in both classes.
Dr. Nguyen is an awesome professor. He teaches so nicely and he also provides good feedback. He cares for you and wants you to succeed. He gives extra credit on all tests and also drops the lowest test grade. His tests are in same format as his reviews. Do his reviews nicely, take notes from class and you will make an A.
Professor Nguyen is one of the best math professors I have taken. He is very thorough and explains the theorems and concepts indepth. During class, he walks you through multiple problems and has students help him navigate through problems. If you make a mistake, he explains why it will not work out well. He drops lowest score and gives extra credit
Do not take for a summer class I know if I would have taken him in a full semester I would pass with an A but theres a ton of hw Easy! The tests were not hard but there wasnt enough time, especially when you breakdown your problems step by step, i had to guess on at least 6 questions because I didnt have enough time! Take in the fall!
I took professor Nguyen for 8 weeks Finite Math and did not regret it. His lecture is so detailed and you'll just have to copy what he wrote. He is very caring and his tests are not that hard. You'll have 3 exams and a comprehensive final. I am currently taking him for Cal for the next 8 weeks. I would take him again for other classes if he has it.
Be prepared to read and self teach. You get what you work for. He gives more than enough time to finish homework assignments which are due the same day as test days. The class consists of 19 HW assignments, 11 Quizzes, 4 Tests. lowest test gets dropped. The final wasn't as difficult as expected. Overall I would take again
Connect HW, 4 tests on Mymathlab - lowest grade dropped. 11 quizzes on BB each have 4-6 questions only. Final was 32% of total grade. You have to get 50% and up to pass the class. It's not an easy class. Make sure to practice a lot or you will not pass.
I took this course Online during Fall 2018 Semester. Professor Nguyen sticks to the Syllabus. No late work will be accepted. Complete all Homework and Quizzez on time and you will do just fine.
One of the best professors ever! He is very organized and he explains material very well. If you do not understand he will always stop to help and answer any question. Test are online take home. Final is in class! Very easy
The best math teacher! He makes my full-time college/mommy life/working life so much easier! You have a good amount of time to finish homework on mymathlab, 3 test, and 1 final. final is easy if you study previous homework and test. He doesn't give curves even if you are 1 point away from a B or an A in that class. Overall great teacher.
Great professor; just study your material and stay on top of the homework. Be prepared to take the final exam as they are just like the 4 test you take throughout the semester.
I took him for Statistics and was very worried at first because I've heard horror stories about people failing statistics. However, he is a great professor. All of the homework and tests are done on MyStatLab and as long as you do the work, you'll make a good grade in his class. The final exam is cumulative so make sure to study well !
Everything was online through mystatlab, including exams. I love a teacher that leaves me alone to study the textbook, if you need extra help/lectures then don't choose this professor for an online course
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I took Professor Nguyen as an online course for math 1306. All homework is available at the very beginning of class. I ended up with an A- and that's because I was being lazy. 20ish tedious h.w., 3 exams, and a final. Study reviews for exams.
I took him for stat 3309. It was an online course and everything was through mystatlab. It was a self taught course for sure. You will pass if you can teach yourself. He was very organized and followed the syllabus.
Second time taking Finite Math and couldn't have picked a better professor. Professor Vien Nguyen was very clear on his expectations and only had to email him once on clarification regarding test guidelines. Will take him again if I can for other math courses.
This professor is awesome! You can tell he is caring and will help out if you are stuck on something. 14 homework assignments and 2 test and 1 final. Tests were very similar to the homework and some of them were the same questions!
Great professor! LOTS of MyMathLab HW assignments, 4 tests (including final), and one signature assignment. I really liked his lectures because he teaches to make sure you understand the subject. If you don't know something, he doesn't make you feel dumb or bad. He is also available on zoom for office hours which helps for test feedback.
I'm not the best at math but I took Professor Nyugen due to the reviews I viewed last year. While taking his course online, I understood almost everything which I have difficulty understanding math. I passed and understood math like never before, definitely take him if you've been struggling with math all your life.
Took Professor Nguyen for mini winter term online. Lots of MyMathLabs homework, 1 signature assignment & 4 test + final. Just do the MyMathLabs assignments, questions are similar to the test. He's there for questions. This is a real self taught class which the MyMathLabs do walk you thru solving problems. No text books required. Put the work in
Do not take online! He's a sweet professor but admits he isn't tech-savvy. Uses random videos from YouTube instead of lectures. Reviews didn't match the 3 tests given. Final is online for 2 hours and 30 questions. Everything is in MyStatLab, homework 15%, tests 48%, final 37%. This was my most active GroupChat because we had to help each other out.
Excellent professor! His way of teaching is very clear. I am not very good with Math but he makes it easy for me to understand. I have taken Math 1324 and Stat 2305 with him.
Took him Fall 2022 and this is a self-taught class. He does respond to emails quickly if you have questions on problems. 3 tests no lockdown, lots of homework, and had to use ProtorU for the final (w/formula sheet & can use excel). Final is worth 35% of your grade. I'm not good with math but pass with a C.
Self-taught class, all work is done through Knewton, homework is worth 15%, tests are worth 48% and the final is worth 37%. All tests are no lockdown, no webcam. Final is ProctorU and you can use notes.
don't take this professor online. I heard he is a good professor in person but with online classes, he offers no resources. no video, no lectures, no PowerPoint, nothing. You are on your own for every part, and he seems to give more homework than other online professors teaching the same courses.
This professor opened all assignments at the beginning of the semester which made it easy for me this way I finished all my work way beforehand. All assignments were on Pearson. Chapter Homework worth 15%, 3 tests worth 48%, and a Final exam worth 37% through ProcturU. She allows one paper with notes for the final. Replies to emails pretty quickly
If your class doesn't participate, he doesn't teach well, it's also hybrid so there's a lot of self learning using the webassign homeworks. Exams are on webassign and its using lockdown (or else the test won't open) so be prepared. He allowed one page of cheat sheet. Fairly easy class, just put in effort and don't be lazy.
His class is very easy and attendance matters only when there are test. Would recommend his course if you are a non-math major!
So this is one of those classes where the professor gives you youtube videos to watch as lectures and you do the homework for each chapter. Sometimes the videos didn't always match with homeworks. You end up teaching yourself a little. Homework(15%), Tests(48%), and Final(37%). Final needs to be done at home via proctoru or at a testing location.
Professor Nguyen's class is all self-paced on Pearson. The workload is manageable with 15% homework, 48% tests, and 37% final. Use Unstuck study along with the provided formula sheet to ace the ProctorU final.
I understood math for the first time because of him. He cares and wants you to learn and understand the content fully. I failed bc I missed classes due to personal reasons but I will be taking him again for Stats! Only downside is the final counts as 51% of your grade
He is awesome and really nice. Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go to class to stay in the loop. Lots of homework but its all due at the end of the semester.
