Reviews of professor Ellie Nguyen

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Nguyen is a sweet lady, but her style of teaching is a little harsh at times. I have emailed her in the past to ask a conceptual question only to be replied to with "if you don't understand the concept, perhaps you should drop the course." Exams are very detail heavy and the material is very thorough.

not really worth it.

This was by far my most useful class on my pre-med track at OSU. It wasn't "easy": you'll have to pay attention to the lectures, but they correlate directly to the exams, and she does an incredible job of outlining what you need to study in order to perform well. I loved Dr. Nguyen, and I could tell that she truly wants the best for students!

Dr. Nguyen respects her students, she responds timely to emails & has flexible office hours to help students. She is great at making biochemistry easier to understand, since the material can be quite heavy. Make sure to do your part in taking detailed lecture notes, asking questions in lecture, and studying daily for her class and you will do well.

The world needs more professors like Dr. Nguyen. She truly wants her students to succeed in the course, and even in life! She's very fair, patient, and understanding to all students. If you're not where you want to be in the class, she'll go above and beyond to help you. If you put in the time and effort, then you'll easily be able to succeed!

One of the best decisions I've ever made was to take biochem with Dr. Nguyen! Biochem wasn't easy for me to grasp at first, but over time with her help and great teaching skills, I actually understood AND retained the material. I wish there were more professors like her! I highly recommend taking her class, especially if you're a pre-health major!

Dr. Nguyen is the hardest professor I have ever had, and I am a biochemistry major so I have taken some hard classes. She is kind of rude in her emails back to you and makes the tests extremely hard, and doesn't allow you to have a cheat sheet, and doesn't curve. You will be CONSIDERED grade rounding if lacking less than 1% to the next letter grade
