Prof. Quan is the best! You DEFINITELY want to do whatever it takes to get in one of his classes. Atleast half of our class got internships or jobs through him. He is a teacher to the core, and takes his job beyond the classroom. He'll help you with your resume and job search, and is willing to call contacts on your behalf. He's the best in FM

He is a good teacher for FIT but not a great professor when compared to other schools. He knows his stuff but is a bit cocky and sometimes isn't clear about what he wants. Overall a worthwhile class to take but he is rather condesending to students and makes fun of people often. Kind of a shallow person but still a decent class to take.

Very energetic and keeps you engaged, highly knowledgable, tells great stories, and really cares about helping students. On the down side, a bit disorganized and some of the tests were not well written (multiple right answers, unclear questions). On the whole, though, I'd definitely recommend. Knows his stuff and really wants you to do well.

Prof Quan is extremely frustrating and has a severe god complex. He starts every class talking about how he KNOWS the fashion industry and how lucky every student is to take his class. You aren't lucky. Be prepared to be randomly called on and judged for your background/appearance. Never take Quan at 8am, or at all.

Quan made me want to leave this University. If I ever have another professor like him, I will drop. No questions asked. Quan forgets that the things that he says actually have a human impact on his students. It is an act of superhuman strength to go to his class time and time again. I'm stronger but worse off because of it.

To keep it short and simple: save yourself and dont avoid having him as your professor. He made this class a complete nightmare and I can speak for the majority of the class when I say we didnt learn much, if anything, from him. He even had to literally call us out to say something we learned and we all could not think of ONE thing.

Talks about himself for the full 3 hours of class. You don't learn anything, he just brags about himself. Only graded on 4 things for the whole semester (case study, midterm, final, and final group project). Not very understanding either when it comes to absences. Makes you stay on zoom for tests.

Prof. Quan SUCKS. Every quality you don't want in a professor, he has. Classes are long and boring where he talks about himself for an hour and then reads premade powerpoints made by the textbook company. Preaches academic honesty but can't even create his own assignments. Takes his time grading assignments - took 3weeks to give us our final grade.

Took his 8am class, because he went off on tangents when "explaining" the material when the midterm and final came (only 2 exams) they were extremely hard. He also made us do case studies, and if you didn't write what he was not expecting he would take points off. The group project is a good way to bring ur grade up if u need too.

Participation and engagement are the biggest factors when it comes to grading, if you don't show up you'll fail and he won't like you. Stay on top of reading assignments, quizzes and be prepared for tests. He's a nice guy but definitely likes to hear himself talk and plays favorites when it comes to students. Screen sharing is mandatory in remote.

The first class with Prof Quan was painful. On the first day, 3 hours were spent talking about how amazing and incredible he is, and about why his haters on this site are wrong. Then, he wanted us to write fake good reviews for him. Very little time spent on the course info, and more time spent on him boasting about himself.

Professor Quan, outside of the class environment, is a really great person who knows a lot about the industry. He wants his students to succeed and “make money” as he says.
