Fall 2022 - Extrmely hard course, but I disagree that he hate his students. Prof.Nguyen allow my late submission of homework(and no point deduction) though his syllabus said no. And he reply email very quickly, almost in 30 mins to 1 hour, so you can feel free to ask any time. He also give a lot of hard practice and talk about that in class. If you attend every class, you will be expert of actuarial problem. His exam is tough, especially his Final exam(I spent totally 3 hours for 7 questions), a lot computation and you should remember dozens of formula( no cheatsheet in exam). So I advice you study this course as a 5 credits course.
