Reviews of professor Minh Nguyen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This professor is really bad with replying to his students. If you ever need to reach out to him... there is basically no way you'll get a response until basically the end of the quarter. He is an extremely tough grader. Lectures are super boring and you probably won't learn anything. Avoid this professor if you want to avoid the headaches.

Fall 2020 asynchronous. Straightforward class. Pre-recorded lectures and pdf stories provided. You read 3 SHORT stories weekly + choose 1/3 to do an explication (around 5 sentences). One essay, final. Extra credit if you participate in discussions (not mandatory). Easy going professor. People complain about their grade but dont read the stories.

I needed a GPA boost and was interested in this class. Granted I did get the grade I had hoped it was quite stressful. Only attended 2 lectures. If you do end up taking this class DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. I cannot stress this enough and it was the only reason I got an A. Overall, the weekly readings were interesting & final was graded hard as sh*t.

Took SEA64 and I can describe it in one word. BORING! Its easy, but almost unbearable because of how boring he and his lectures are. Also, its almost impossible to get in contact with him so pray for a good TA.

The professor teaches his way, and doesn't really teach great. His lectures are very heavy and his labs are strictly graded. If you miss something, you get a lot of points taken out.

This class is very easy, and there is extra credit for doing the 2 exams and the essay on time. In addition, he gives extra credit for attending class but it isn't mandatory, although I still recommend it as he doesn't post his notes. Overall a pretty good professor, although a bit boring at times he is nice and cares for students to pass.

Minh is a super boring professor. His class was always a drag, but easy. The class had a midterm (40%), paper (20%), and final (40%). It was a pretty straight forward class. DO THE READINGS! There were tons of EC opportunities. His lecture slides are not posted online so its good to go to class to take pictures of them to study later. BORING CLASS

Was a great prof. Graded on just midterm/final/assignments but let us drop 2 lowest of the latter. Little reserved and bland but good at explaining things. Course is kinda tough with or without him. He doesn't care if you show up to class as long as you do the work. Reasonable with amt of work and grading. Would take again for sure
