Comment:

Yes he does have an accent, but honestly it wasn't hard to understand him and you get used to it really quickly. Study the lecture notes (provided) and practice problems and you'll pass with ease! Sometimes his jokes are funny too. He's actually a 4.5 but since he gives tons of easy bonus I gave him one as well so he gets a 5.0

Comment:

I admit, it took a couple weeks to get used to his accent and stories. After that, the stories kept the class from being boring! He likes to cover graphs in-depth, but make sure to read the chapters. The practice tests are easy points and helps a lot with exams. He gives a good amount of extra points. He takes attendance EVERY SINGLE DAY!

This Professor is great! A little traditional and strict but there really is no better way. His accent is a little heavy but his models all end up on the board anyway. So read your material and you should be able to grasp the concepts despite his accent.

This is my first semester in college and all I can say is that he is a good person and loves to teach but I myself have trouble understanding him because of his accent, so beware, I myself am a hardworking person but I cant be because his accent throws me off, so I recommend making friends in class to make class notes together office hours dnt help

Comment:

If he can use his time teaching the actual lessons for the course rather than talking about irrelevant things, the course wouldn't be so bad. His English verbal skill is fine but there's somewhat of an accent and sometimes there's confusion due to his broken English. He tends to repeat a lot of things, which are irrelevant most of the time. Gluck.

Dr Trieu is a great professor. He obv loves teaching. He has a heavy Vietnamese accent, but it's easy to understand him if you just pay attention. He grades based on 2 midterms, a final, and 3 study packets he hands weeks prior to the exams. His study packets and class notes are a HUGE resource. Don't skip class! He meets my demand for knowledge :)

Comment:

I am currently in his class and I cannot understand anything he is saying. Very heavy accent. I feel like the only way I have learned anything in his class is by reading the textbook and making my own notes. His notes consist of only drawing graphs and formulas which don't make sense when you cant understand him. Wish there was another econ teacher

Comment:

Mr. Trieu had poor english. It's hard to understand and he repeats a lot during his lectures. He has a very dry personality and gets mad if you ask your neighbor a question. Had him for 10a & 10b only because he's the only Econ teacher at City. Encourages students to drop his class rather than motivating them. Overall I despised his class and him

Very nice professor means well. Heavy accent but you get used to it. Semester consisted of 3 homework assignments, 2 midterms and the final. I took ECON 10A and 10B in the same semester with him and it was fairly easy to pass. Study hard for the midterms and final.

Mr. Trieu is a very funny & inspirational instructor who respects his students' opinions & helps them in any way possible (ex. giving bonus on hw & exams for being on-time). His lectures are heavy & aren't practical so you need to read the textbook to sort of understand the materials. PS: his personal stories really inspired & motivated me!

Comment:

Cool guy. Heavy accent. His go-to joke is about girlfriends/boyfriends. You can only miss two classes or he drops you. Takes roll at the beginning of class and the end of class so plan on being at every lecture for the semester or you won't pass. Also monitors bathroom time. He'll tell you in front of everybody if you took too long.

He has an accent but that's it, you will get used to it. everything else is AWESOME! You can tell that he loves Econ. He tries his best to explain your questions. He prepares excellent notes so it's super easy for students to review before exams. Lectures may be long and dry later but Easy A! Recommended. I learned a lot!

Awesome teacher. Has an accent but very clear and really tries everything to help you pass. Gave EC a bunch just for the heck of it. He will kinda get on you if you dont show up or arrive early but thats about it. Not much HW given and tests are pretty straight forward

Comment:

His lectures are so dry and redundant. Repeats the same thing and takes 30 mins for 1 point. As some others have said, wastes class time in ridiculing late students. Most of his jokes are lame gf jokes that gets old fast. Easy A, class is a joke, no challenge. Didn't learn much. No sympathy for students, had a medical emergency, he didnt care.

I'm going to miss his class. Not only is he a great professor, he is an inspirational person. You can tell that he just loves his job, loves Econ, and wants all his students to succeed. He hands out extra credit to the entire class for no particular reason (He just does bc he feels like it). Tells LOTS of jokes! Hilarious, easy A, recommend!

Sometimes, meeting the right person at the right time changes your life forever. My life changes for the better when I study with Dr. Trieu. He is very professional & knowledgeable at his work & inspirational as a human being. Studying with Dr. Trieu is a life-changing experience. Give yourself a chance to meet him. He is the Best of the Best!

Comment:

His english is so poor it makes it difficult to understand anything in lectures. If a student shows up late, he stops the entire class to reprimand them and give a lecture on attendance. Most of class time is spent on berating students and threatening to fail them. Still, not too hard, just stick to the book and ignore the teacher

Comment:

Dr. Trieu is an exceptional instructor. Yes, he has a thick accent; he does mark you tardy or time your personal breaks; he does not allow electronic usage in his class. However, once college students stop acting like whining teenagers, they are able to see a passionate instructor who does more than his fair share to help his students pass.

Comment:

The class would be better if he stop making awkward (not funny) jokes. Sometimes the class does drag when he starts telling stories about his experience. The accent is horrible. he tries but I don't think he is a good teacher. so hard to understand the accent! do your homework and you will pass all the exams.
