Reviews of professor Tommy Tran

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lectures were jam-packed with lots of information and the professor does not post slides online. Sometimes he goes pretty quick but he never hesitates to go back if you ask politely. Overall I would recommend Professor Tran, he's an effective professor and friendly.

Super cool Prof! Really laidback classroom environment w interesting lectures. Not many assignments, so do them all. Chances to make up poor quality or missing work. Not a tough grader, unless its obvious that you didnt do reading, or your citations are not formatted right. Final project kinda unclear, so communicate progress to be sure youre good

His lectures are informative but if youre not a history buff, you wont like it. Multiple four page papers throughout the class, each one due once every 3 weeks. He is funny tho. Tough grader.

Took professor as when he was new that semester. Lots of reading in book assignments, ALOT! Easy-ish weekly assignment based on summarizing readings w/ 500 words. Lectures were easy understood learned Korea culture and history. Pretty funny nerdy professor that was nice. Had lots of office time to help. Group discussions in class that were great.

Professor Tran's class is easy however, it's HELLA boring(taken during covid). The work itself was really easy; we had reading assignments and 2 projects. Take the class if you want an easy SPRK class but if you want to be entertained find something else because I was extremely bored.

I took him his second year in and he is a very relaxed teacher and gets along well with students and can be very witty and funny given the opportunity, he was always a class I looked forward to and if you missed everything was online. He uses a reading book as a textbook but you can get by very very easily without it.

Professor Tran is a really understanding professor. His assignments are super straight forward and very easy to get done. Yes they are 500 words but if you do the reading, the papers are easily completed. Hes a cool guy outside of class and if you need any help he will be more than happy to help. Also replies to emails extremely fast. 11/10
