Reviews of professor Jonathan Phan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A very valuable course. Yes, it's a lot of work, and exams are hard, but if you want to walk away with knowledge you're going to carry into your life after graduation this class is it. Dr. Phan teaches material that applies to the outside world. He can be snarky, but he is very intelligent. Every lecture is engaging. I fully recommend this course.

DO NOT TAKE! The tests are extremely difficult and you have to prioritize this class over all other classes if you want a passing grade. He comes off super rude and doesnt care if you pass or not.

Dr.Phan is very organized and strict about his grading policies. Attendance is taken via iclicker and there is one big assignment we work on throughout the course. He's very accessible outside of class and cares about his student's future and improvement, but can come off as snarky. Exams can also be difficult if you don't study over time

He's a FANTASTIC professor. Despite being a little neurotic during lecture, he truly cares about his students. Even though class is 3+ hours, his lectures are so good it feels like a 1 hour class. Also has an easy project during the semester (free points). Be attentive, take good notes, participate, and brush up on the textbook and you WILL pass!

The professor is passionate about what he does. He makes the class have a fun atmosphere and engages students together. For me, he speaks and teachs a little fast. The class have much information to remember, exams are hard. The professor will give the informaton beside the class and want his student suceed.

He is very organized in the class structure. He wants you to pass and offered heavy extra credit at the end. The class was pretty engaging, a lot of people participated in the lectures. You can get away with not reading the textbook if you really pay attention to the lectures but the textbook is good to support the in class lectures.

Professor Phan cares about the knowledge retention of his students. I learned so much and was engaged with his lecture style. Great lecturer.
