Comment:

Professor Nguyen is by far the best teacher I have EVER HAD. Math has never been my best subject and I was terrified to take Calc. Her lectures are detailed and she provides amazing feed back. However this is NOT an easy class. She expects you to participate and study. If you are determined to succeed you will pass. You simply need to do the work.

Comment:

Take another professor if you can. Professor Nguyen leaves a crazy amount of hw as if her students are only taking her class and no other classes. The examples she goes over in class are nothing like the hw. Exams are lengthy & she tends to lecture after exams, giving us less time to finish the exams. I really dont know why she has a high rating.

Comment:

Professor Nguyen was my favorite professor this semester. It helps if you love math because this class is 5 units. Some weeks may be a lot but if you spend time getting prepared for the quizzes and the days a lot of homework are due, you should do fine. She will let you know when there are quizzes. No final if you have close to 100% in the class.

Comment:

she is an okay professor, Not much of an opinion since I didnt show up half the time and heres why. When it comes to lectures, she is boring and she goes through it very fast. Also, the lecture examples are easy compared to the homwork. Her quizzes are pulled from the homwork we turn in. Her exams? nothing like hw or the E.C practice exams.

Comment:

First math class in 3 years since HS calc. Prof. Simone is awesome; she has notes ready to print and fill out in class, her book and HW are online through canvas, and the quizzes/tests are from notes/HW with lots of extra credit available. Do the HW/study guide & show up for notes everyday for an easy A. No final for high grade. She's helpful too!

Comment:

The course was very difficult and there was over 4 pages of homework due every day we attended class. She goes through lectures at an insanely fast pace. If you fall back a couple lectures it is very difficult or near impossible to catch up. Tests are worth over 60% of the class and extra credit barely does anything to your grade. Gl if you take.

Comment:

This class was my fourth one, and sadly last one, that I took with Simone. She is a teacher that has made an impact in my learning experience at LBCC. I though I was not good at math; but her math explanations and extra credit gave the confidence I needed to believe in myself I could succeed in math. One of the best math teachers at LBCC.

Comment:

Although this class was a work load professor Nguyen makes the class go by so smoothly she tells you exactly what you need to know to pass the class the the exams are exactly what she goes over with us in class and you will have hw due every class day. I hate math but she made it possible for me to grasp the concept. Great professor!

Comment:

This class feel tough to pass. Lectures are confusing. There is no study guide for exams, but there is practice test extra credit to do from book, still not enough. The exams feel diff from the book and hw, even though she say she pull problems from the hw. Review day sucks she make class ask her questions rather than show you practice exam.

Comment:

Overall she's a good professor if you are okay with moving quickly through the material. I am not one of those people. I prefer professors to take their time with problems but she rushes through problems and it got difficult for me to keep up and actually retain the information.

Comment:

She is the BEST math teacher here at lbcc. She offers a TON of extra credit. I am not the best at math but there is no way you can take her class and not pass with an A. Take the opportunity if you can take her and take her!! Final replaces your lowest score and if you have over a 96% you don't even have to take the final.

Comment:

DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. On top of the hw, the extra credit may seem like a lot but the exam questions are based on the extra credit and hw she assigns. She explains things well in lectures and will answer your questions if you have any. The best thing is you do not have to take the final if your overall grade is high enough after the fourth exam.

Comment:

She's really organized and stays on schedule! Business calc is a really tough subject. But Prof Nguyen gives plenty of extra credit opportunities such as 4 extra assignments and extra questions on tests. The questions on the quizzes and tests come straight from the hw so make sure to do it. She drops the lowest test score and the final is 130 pts.

Comment:

She is organized since the first day of class, because of the syllabus. You will know what lessons are going to be taught at a specific day, and what homework is due. She is very clear about what days the class will have a quiz. A textbook is needed, just do the homework!! You will pass her class if you study, pay attention, and do your homework!

Comment:

She whisks through content at a very rapid pace and can be hard to keep up with. She also tends not to explain how to solve problems very clearly and she made simple concepts I remembered in Trig seem much more complicated than they really are. Just be prepared to teach yourself on a lot of the material because you'll definitely have to work.

Lectures rely on previous chapters, so study heavily the first half semester. Gives extra credit on 4 exams, 10 more points out of 100. Some exam problems are long, study HW(mandatory), and chapter reviews (optional extra credit). Exams are similar to HW, no bs, which i liked. 6 quizzes, announced 1-2 meetings before. 1 cumulative final. She cares

Prof. Simone is the best. She's the first professor that I take my math class in college. She gives extra credit. homework in every section, but the homework is very helpful for the exam and quiz. I really want to study with her again, if I have a chance. Sadly, this's my last math class. Really thankful to Prof. Simone for this awesome class.

Gives lots of extra credit in the form of hw and extra test questions. Tests are out of 100 but she gives extra questions on the test which means its possible to get 110/100. Quizzes are announced the class before, the questions come straight from the hw. Final is made of previous test questions which she gives an answer key. When from D to B.
