Nguyen is the best prof I had first year. He truly cares about his students and makes very clear what kind of material will be on exams. His lectures are very engaging and he makes an effort not to make an almost three-hour-long lecture boring. If you attend his lectures or even just watch his recorded ones there's no way you won't get an A.

His rating is way too low. One of the best profs in the faculty of health sciences. Take every chance u get to have him. The textbook was not mandatory for the exam as his lectures are sufficient in themselves and summarize the book well. Lectures are a must as well though because he adds qs from what he says. Course split: 2 midterms & final

This has been one of the best profs I have had. The lectures are fabulous, and by doing the lectures and taking notes this class is an easy A. I recommend Prof Nguyen to anyone who has the opportunity, you won't regret it!

THE MOST AMAZING PROF OUT THERE. Extremely kind and caring and does not try and trick his students with his exams. Shares funny anecdotes and has iconic phrases that you won't forget. Class is worth going to because he really makes your day, and his exams are among the fairest I've ever taken. + the textbook is not necessary!

Prof T is a real gem, he cares about his students health. He's always making classes more enjoyable to be in and tries to explain all the concepts really well so that there isn't any misunderstandings. Despite the 1 midterm (40%) and 1 final (60%) evaluation, he really does not try to make any tricks and tries to make it easy to end up doing well.

Prof Tien was an amazing prof who cared about the wellbeing of his students. While you can achieve a high mark through the recorded lectures and powerpoints alone, I found myself attending his live lectures for more clarification and the discussions at the end. Overall, amazing prof

He was amazing! The first live lecture I was freaked out by the terms, but just watch the recorded ones & it'll help & that's all you need! Such a great guy & super easy to talk to although only one mid term & one exam, but trust it's hard to screw up! If you have him, it's a real treat :)

60 Final 40 Midterm, a little scary but not the end of the world. Absolutely hilarious guy. LONG lectures because he spends half of them digressing which isn't a bad thing unless you are in a rush. I got the optional textbook (cheap on amazon LLF) and I felt it assisted me in the class and on the exams.

Uncle T was my favorite prof first term! He is extremely caring and is really there for his students. 10/10 recommend watching his recorded lectures and taking notes on those because he adds stuff in there. Then just go to his live lectures to go over content and relax a little. Easy class and really amazing prof. Take him if you can! #idigress

Probably the best Prof i've ever had. Gives you CLEAR grading criteria, & how many questions there are per chapter for exams. If you want to learn but also enjoy a little bit of comedy please take him! Made me smile & laugh listening to all of his lectures, and doing the multiple choice exams. Easy content to grasp, lot of it is general knowledge.

Dr. Nguyen made my first semester at UOttawa a memorable and bearable experience. He is so beyond kind. There were only two assessments: one worth 40% and the other worth 60%. If you have the opportunity to take his class, by all means do it. Study the slides and go to the lectures to be well-prepared.A golden professor that I'd recommend to anyone

hands down the best prof at uottawa. he is HILARIOUS and will drop at least 10 dad jokes per class. amazing online teacher as he posts his lectures as videos and does live lectures to review them. FAIR exams, but there are only two exams the entire class (40% midterm & 60% final) so if you screw up those, you're toast. "but i digress" count: 352

Tien Nguyen has been one of my favourite profs so far. I attend all of the recorded lectures and he truly keeps you engaged with all his jokes. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed and get good marks. His lectures are also very easy to watch and are relatable. Definitely recommend; it does not get much better than Tien Nguyen.
