Reviews of professor Cuong Pham

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Pham's blockchain course is one of the best electives I've taken at WIT. I learned a great deal from this class with minimal understanding of Blockchain at the beginning and was able to develop a functional full stack blockchain application from scratch at the end of the semester. Prof. Pham is truly a great resource to his students

Doesn't know how to properly run a network programming class. Tends to ramble and doesn't know how to answer half our questions. Labs are a joke and the group project is ridiculous and everything that is done is "too simple."

Good professor, can sometimes be a tad disorganized when it comes to group projects but overall good. If you skip, you will NOT pass. Lectures are very dense with information and reading the book after class is definitely required.

Dr. Pham is rude when students ask questions he makes the students feel stupid and laughs at their question. He is very arrogant and egotistical. Additionally, he sucks at helping students. Would not recommend.

Awesome new professor! He is super knowledgeable about the subject given his industry experience. He is very approachable inside and outside the classroom offering help to understand the materials and give career advice. I really like how the term project in his class is developed to build up our portfolios for future employment opportunities.

For Dr. Pham's Network Programming class, his lectures can be a little hard to understand but he is definitely very knowledgeable about the subject since he has relevant experience with Microsoft. 3 short open note quizzes, 3 Open note exams, A lab assignment every lab day, big group project. Drops the lowest exam and lab grade. very kind of him.

Dr. Pham is not the greatest professor, but it is his first year. There is no doubt he has a clear understanding of his subject. But he struggles to relay the knowledge to the class, which is why reading the textbook is pretty much mandatory. The book itself is quite dense and can be difficult to understand. Can be easy going at times.

Professor Pham is an excellent teacher for the Software Engineering class because he could relate his own professional experience to the subject matter. The class was very well designed and organized which gave me a sense of what agile development in real world will be like. Felt a high workload sometimes but learned a lot from the experience.

Worst experience I've had so far. How he is rated a 3.7 I don't know. I ask for help and my answer is: "Google it." We get homework on subjects before he discusses them in class, and they are often confusing and time-consuming. I'd rather drop out than take another class by him.
