Comment:

If you hate maths and need to take Maths as a requirement, then Professor Can is your guy! He is super laid back, and really cares about his students success! Easy A! Lots of homework, but all he does is flick through the book at the end of semester, so don't worry too much about being precise with it all!

Comment:

Give him by the second day of class to adjust to his accent. Its a very easy A course, especially for those who want to transfer. 3 Tests. Each have 20 multiple questions. 10 chapters to cover. Study guide given. Open book, notes and laptops are okay to be used during tests. I would recommend this class during the summer because of how easy it is

There are 3 tests which each have 20 multiple problems. Study guides are given. Some of those questions will be found on the tests or similar but with different numbers. You are allowed to use your notes, technology and book for ALL tests. There is plenty of homework but its graded upon your neatness and completion. Easy A.

Comment:

Professor Can is the best math teacher I've taken. He has three exams and a final. Each one is only 20 questions and they're all multiple choice. The only other thing he grades is homework and he just grades for completion. He lets people use their phones, books, notes and basically anything on the exams. If you want an easy A, take this class.

Comment:

Just finished taking his Business Calculus class. If you simply want to get a passing grade, take him. He's not the best teacher around. However, he passes anyone so long as they show up to class and give a little bit of effort. Grading consists of 4 tests, attendance and homework (collected at the end of the semester). Take if you need to pass.

Comment:

He's a super nice professor that cares about his students. All his tests are open note, open book, etc. You can even use your phone and laptop. His tests are directly from his practice problems. Take this class if you want an A. He doesn't take attendance either. Just show up on test days.

Comment:

To be as accurate as possible, Professor Can has a very thick Vietnamese accent and appears to be struggling with teaching Stats making it nearly impossible to learn. About 4-6 usual students who come to class, most of the class don't bother and only show up on test days. He compensates by allowing open note, books, laptops and phones on exams.

Don't want to learn math? All you need is a C? This is the class for you. 3 Exams, 1 "cumulative" final that focuses on 3 pre-specified chapters of the book. Open note, open book. Looonnnggg study guides given. Homework: Every other odd problem in the book due at the end of the semester, so tons of busy work.

Comment:

Professor Can is the best stats teacher at ivc. Seriously, take him if you want an A. He explains how important school and math is to you and he does get side tracked often, but his tests are pretty simple as long as you come to class and do your study guides. Test is open book and homework of all the chapters are due by end of semester.

Comment:

He doesn't respect his students He is usually late to class If you ask him to go slower or explain the problem better, he tries to blame it on you for not understanding it better I remember doing all the chapters for my homework & he gave me 40 out of 50 because I didn't have a folder. He get's side tracked a lot during his lectures

Comment:

Mr. Can is a teacher that truly cares that the student does well. He likes questions so that he knows you understand. This way he is able to get instant feedback on whether or not he is explaining as best he can so that you understand. Math 140 is not easy, but Mr. Can made it easy. Keep up the good work Mr. Can.

EASY A. EVERYONE TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Honestly, never taken an easier class. Exams are open notebook and they're extremely easy. Prof. Can is the sweetest guy and really cares about his students passing. Have homework which is due on the day of the final (odd problems from each section of the book).

Comment:

I'll start by saying I hate math. Yes, Mr Can has an accent, but it's NOT impossible to understand him the way some people on here make it seem. He's kind hearted and cares about his students. He will help you as best as he can. Just go to class and take notes, you'll do good.

Comment:

This class is a joke. I's easy because the tests are open-book, open-note but you still have to teach yourself everything unless you can understand anything from him during lecture which most people dont. He speaks in this low-key inaudible voice and pauses a lot. it's impossible to follow with what hes saying. If you can teach yourself, easy A.
