Reviews of professor Thanh Nguyen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Thanh is a great professor. He prioritizes his research so he doesn't teach much, so take him if you can. He offers huge extra credit on HW and Exams, and adds bonus points to your final grade if you participate in class. He's very intelligent but explains things simply and slowly. I did his special topics which was great (bio-nano/microdevices).

Thanh's class was super easy (to the point where most of us had absolutely no idea what was going on) bc the homework was super short/simple and then the one midterm we had was half multiple choice and one question from the homework. The final was worth 45% tho and was impossible, I couldn't answer the open ended. Still ended with an A (v curved)

A great professor!!! He's super nice and cares about his students. He has a passion for teaching finance. He allows to drop the lowest exam and has many bonus points. He always encourages students to ask for help. The class is difficult but he does his best to prepare you for the tests with reviews posted on Connect. I am so glad I took him

Thanh is awesome. His lectures are a little slow and his homeworks can be difficult, but he offers so much extra credit and really wants to see students succeed. He learns everyones name and will always help if you need help. Only bad thing is that he doesn't cover a lot of material needed from this course, such as failure and von mises. Easy + fun

Dr. Nguyen is a great lecturer and very willing to help students but your grade is dependent only on a midterm (30%), final (45%), and homework (25%). The homework isn't too hard and makes sense but it felt hard to prepare for the mathematical problems on the exams. Understand concepts and how to use formulas and the curve will do the rest.

Thanh's class is so easy it'll knock your socks off. The tradeoff is that you don't learn anything new really. The class is basically a revamped version of mechanics of materials, and most of it will seem like review. Still, Thanh cares about his students and wants them to succeed, and he makes it easy to do so.

The class is well organized and functions as it should. He truly cares about his students and does everything he can to make sure they achieve success. Bloomberg is a plus in this course. I wish he spent more time on it.
