Reviews of professor Tommy Dang

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took Professor Dang for my individual studies in Spring 2022 and he was great. He was interested to hear what I had to say and wanted to study, he let me have a lot of creative control over my projects without having to worry about micromanaging things. He gave good feedback on my reports and inspired me to make a strong ending presentation.

Not good professor. Not suggestable

He hardly prepared the lessons, the syllabus was copied from other sources. Dr. Dang never gave us instruction on how to code, he let his Teaching Assistants do instead and the material was either too difficult to finish the assignment on time or far away from the usefulness

Professor Dang was an okay teacher. Most of the learning in the class was done out of class because the lectures would just drag on. I could tell no one really pays attention to his class. His TAs don't grade super heavily either, so getting most of the answers right would usually get you full credit.

Prof. Dang overall is not a bad professor. His class was relatively easy in terms of course load, 2 projects/1 Exam, with a passing grade being a 55% or above in his high level grad courses. He is not a great lecturer but he is understanding and willing to work with students to make sure they pass which was nice in the time of a pandemic.

Dang is hit or miss with some people. His lectures can kind of drag on, and for most of them you can just zone out and not miss a lot. He will give out random quizzes as a pseudo-attendance check His grading scale is extremely generous, with >85% being an A. Most of the grade was from two projects that are fun challenges. Overall good professor.

The worst professor I have ever seen. I took this course as I thought it will be very useful in future but professor wont teach anything. TA prepare the notes from internet and expect not to use internet in our project. If I want to learn anything from Internet why would I take this course. Hands down Internet teaches very good than him.

Probably the worst professor I've ever had. No organization whatsoever. Don't be fooled by the lenient grade scale. You'll most likely pass, but it won't feel meaningful.

Professor Dang did a great job in this course, everything was graded fairly and if you put in a moderate amount or effort, it was extremely easy to get an A. Make sure to show up for quizzes, and pay attention to his lectures. Very knowledgable within his field. Only complaint was his recaps on the prior lecture ran pretty long everyday. Good class
