Reviews of professor Bieu Tran

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class was a nightmare.. this prof gives an overload of assignments, as if students dont take any classes aside from his. Tons of group projects, essays on top of weekly assignments and discussion boards, term projects, presentations and term paper. Stay far away unless you have all the time in the world and just taking 1 class.

Overall, a very good class. You will learn a lot! Lots of assignments that will eventually provide you with a good understanding about theory. Instructor responds very quickly to emails with good feedback. If you don't like hard work, this is not the class for you. Otherwise, take it one step at a time and soak it in.

A lot of work, a lot of reading and not what I was expecting. You have 8 short essays, 4 group papers plus a group powerpoint, an additional two group powerpoints on org. theories, a term paper, and bi-weekly discussion board posts with minimum amount of word requirements. not an easy A, teacher instructions can be vague.

Interesting readings. Not your typical sociology or criminal justice course. Expect to do weekly forum posts and write papers on case studies. Overall a great summer class that you will learn a lot from.

Prof. Tran's grading is more than fair. You'll get a good grade by putting in effort and following directions. The writing assignments may seem like a lot, but you have 2 weeks to write each short essay and discussion post. The group projects aren't that taxing either. This course will improve your writing and prepare you for graduate level work.

Way too many readings to complete when taking other classes as well. Be prepared for group assignments and presentations. There are biweekly essays and discussions, 2 module presentations done in groups, group term project assignments and presentation, and a final paper. Not a tough grader and the professor responds promptly.
