Comment:
One of the worst classes I've ever had. I could barely understand the professor with his accent most of the time. He gave out a study guide for the mid-term and about half the terms and essays on the mid term were not on the study guide. Doesn't have a lot of assignments but grades them hard seems like he just takes off points to take them off.

Comment:
He knows his stuff that's for sure,however, he is not very helpful if you are not in his group of favourite students. I tried to talk every class, came to every class, and even stayed behind to ask questions about our assignment. He was rude to me and gave me one word answers to questions I needed help with. I honestly would not take him again.

Comment:
I dont agree with the other comments. I thought this class was very easy. Only three assignments, test, 10 page paper, final. Paper is easy we submit outlines and bib before so we have all the material plus direction. His accent is tough on the ears, but you get used to it. He does respect his students, and those that speak up gets more respect.

Comment:
Overall, a pretty good teacher. Accent is a bit difficult to understand at first but you get used to it. Doesn't give a lot of written assignments but there is quite a bit of reading. Will help you if you seek it. Is very knowledgeable in subject and provides first hand accounts in his time in government. Very nice and would recommend to others

Comment:
Mr. Nguyen is an intelligent instructor, however his class was one of the hardest I have ever taken. He has a thick accent which is hard to understand and he wont hesitate to fail lazy students. Attendance is mandatory! Classes are half lecture, half seminar. He loves engaged students who ask questions and work hard. There's one paper, two exams.

Comment:
Had him as a faculty advisor for an independent study. First impression was that he came off cold and condescending--however, if you make an effort and show interest in the subject he warms up and becomes much friendlier. And yes, he is difficult to understand sometimes but he is brilliant. Take him if you want to learn.

Comment:
He is literally impossible to understand. But you have to go to class because he takes attendance. He is condescending towards students and only gives attention and respect to the people who don't shut up in class. One 15 page paper but he gives no direction on what he wants you to do with it. Worst teacher I have had yet at Mason.

Comment:
He's a very reasonable professor, and he's extremely knowledgeable in his field. He expects attendance, and he makes it very clear that you need to show up or you won't do well. Grading was fair, and I got an A. The assigned textbook readings were very good and interesting. I'd take him again if he taught other classes.

Comment:
Dr. Hung is bright and intelligent. He is well educated and knows his foreign policy. Unfortunately, his class is quite boring and fails to really engage students. He is difficult to understand (verbally) and assignments aren't clearly explained. First part of class you discuss world events and generally spend the remainder listening to lecture.

Comment:
Dr. Hung's knowledge of foreign policy is mind-boggling. He's a serious professor (and Fulbright Scholar) who expects a lot of effort from students, but he realizes that the topics can be difficult to master. Do the readings, attend class, participate in discussions, and show him respect (!) if you want a good grade. Highly recommended!

Comment:
Participation is mandatory or he'll threaten to fail you. Hard to understand. Overheads are helpful to a point. Study guides are a HUGE help, however, they do not reflect much on what is covered in class so be sure to read. Overall, not a fan of this professor and would not take a class with him again.

His handwriting IS pretty bad. His overheads are legible though and neat. I don't think he's an easy grader. Oh, and he fails a LOT of students he says...no wonder.

I got A's on every assignment, including the final 15 page paper but was given a B in the class for only attending maybe five times. Very hard to understand; if you read the material you should perform well on tests; only issue for me was attendance.

Comment:
Mr. Nguyen is my favorite professor so far. He has been one of the most knowledgeable professors I've had and although he expects the best from students he gives them ample room to shine as well. Attendance is not required but he expects everyone to show. Hint: Work as hard as possible on the paper if you want his respect.

Yes, he has an accent. BFD. He is extremely smart, very knowledgeable about his field. Yes, u need dedication & attendance. Exams r essay + res. paper. Both 333, 344 were very good---learned a lot. Isn't that the point in attending? If u r looking for class that doesn't require u to put any effort in as a student, this isn't 4 u. Recommended.

Yeah, he is the only teacher who teaches this course, but how much do you like your GPA? I am junior with a 1/3 scholarship here due to my GPA. This class was my first D on an exam, EVER! He is really hard to understand and an even harder grader. There are not many grades and thus little oppertunity to improve. READ AND study, again and again!

I cannot believe that Mason actually has this guy teaching. I honestly could not understand what he was saying half the time. His vowel sounds are all off, he leaves words out of sentences and drifts off at the end of what he's saying and just kinda mumbles. Requires discussion and asks questions but you can't understand what he's saying.very bad

Comment:
Dr. Nguyen has extremely thick accent, so not only is he difficult to understand in class, but any other time you speak to him you can't communicate. Overall, a fair grader, although he is extremeley stubborn over minutiae. He treats his students like small children; can be mean and condescending. Tries hard, but doesn't do much actual teaching.
