Comment:

Extremely professional. This class is extremely difficult at this school but this professor is the way to go if you have a choice. Will ALWAYS get through the entire lecture, and will not let one example go unexplained, does not always review old info but will absolutely be sure he teaches what will be on the exam.

Comment:

Vu Ong is the best choice for Math 1215. He spends most of the lecture working example problems that appear on the 4 exams. He works very fast to squeeze a lot of information into a limited amount of time. Take him over Kinder if you want to pass.

Comment:

He has an accent but is still easy to understand. His lectures are very fast paced. He spends very little time explaining concepts but he gives a lot of very difficult examples. The examples he gives are usually really complex but then you know everything on the test will be easier than what you went over in class.

Comment:

Ong is a VERY fast lecturer, and doesn't really work out the algebra, but he sacrifices that to hit as many examples as he can possibly fit into 50 minutes. He seems scary in lecture, but he's actually super sweet and willing to help. He also makes the grading criteria for tests VERY clear so you'll know what they expect. Super sweet guy

Comment:

Professor Ong is a very capable instructor. He can come across as irritated during his lecture, but this is because people don't answer questions and that wastes time. When approached with questions during office hours, he is very understanding. Class is virtually based off of 4 tests, so work hard!

I loved taking Math 1215 with Professor Ong. He gave informational lectures and always made sure to finish a lecture before starting a new one. I always felt prepared for the tests.

Great teacher, very funny. You might be fine not coming to lectures but it would make your life much more difficult.

Comment:

While attendance is not mandatory, there are clicker questions every day that are for a grade. He isn't exactly caring and is fast paced, everyone in the class kind of bands together because Ong is accidentally hilarious.

Comment:

While he was not the easiest teacher I had he was always available to answer questions. He was a tough grader and did nit always explain everything on the test, if you take the time to go into his office he will work with you. After going to his office with questions once he followed up and made sure I was understanding the rest of the course.

Terrible Teacher. Goes over easy examples, starts the hard example and then says "you do this one at home" and moves on to the next concept. Learned the entire course from online videos and great TA's.

Likes to yell, marks red ink on your paper, you have to figure out what you did wrong. A little hard to understand, but he's not a terrible teacher

Nice guy, and he teaches linear algebra very well, but he doesn't teach what he puts on his tests. He also marks off without telling you what he has marked off for, and puts red ink everywhere without it having any real meaning.

Vu is hard to understand at first, but his accent also made me giggle a bit. Besides that, he is an excellent professor and I would highly recommend him.

Amazing teacher. This is his first year as a teacher and not a TA, but he's awesome. He is a bit hard to understand, but he does all he can to help you get the question right.
