Reviews of professor Phuong Nguyen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great Professor! Super understanding and organized. Teaches the material great and really educates you on real world issues. Participation matters, I recommend being genuine when trying. He will help you with your exams and give you as much help as you need when you ask for it.

 He has an energy about him that is appreciable, but at times he seems to target people to drive home his points. He encourages active participation, which I agree is important, but then when your participation (response) doesn't align with his views of lecture topic he will embarrass and laugh at you. It was uncomfortable to say the least.

Prof Nguyen adapts to what his students needs. He changed the class to have more group presentations because he noticed the class was not learning well from lectures. He checks his email regularly.

Looked for incorrect responses or differing opinions on subjects to drive home his points during lecture. Beware, if you are wrong or have different opinion he will laugh at you or make you feel uncomfortable for doing nothing more than attempting to be an active participant in your education. Not terrible, but on a bit of a high horse. IMHO.

Definitely a great class, even though we had a lot of group presentations, it was worth it. I really enjoyed his lectures and he seems very passionate about the subjects he taught.

At times I found it difficult to properly answer a question as it was deliberately framed to demean and degrade inaccurate aspects that made up a political party. He requires precise and specific responses to his assignments and will remove points for not including the same thoughts. Not a summer class to be easily passed w/ 1.5 - 4hrs daily work.

Hard to reach outside of class. Very unclear instructions & marks you down for the tiniest things. He takes forever to grade assignments. You never know your actual grade. Very picky about grades & expects a lot out of his students. He expects us to teach ourselves. I honestly learned nothing. I would not retake it. 10 out of 10 do not recommend it

This professor was fine. Lectures a lot, and at times can ignore some surrounding facts about the topics he lectures about. A bit one sided, but not to a major fault; meaning its tolerable. He does sometimes ignore or overlooked the other side of an issue, but again not as bad as some professors I have had. All in all 7/10.

I wanted to like him, but he seems distracted to the point where he's unable to effectively lead the class. He constantly cancels class with various excuses, but expects students to keep up with assignments and online exams. Frequently gave unclear instructions, including on the final, and assigned multiple presentations that were never graded.
