Awesome professor. 7C was definitely not an easy class but Pham made it honestly really enjoyable for me. Going to his office hours was really helpful since sometimes things in class weren't the most clear, and I did notice that lectures sometimes felt a bit rushed. Pham was always super nice and willing to explain things; taking this class with him is something I'd easily recommend to anyone

I thought that Dr. Pham was easy to understand even with his accent. He makes ample time for students to ask questions as he goes through the slides, which I really appreciated. He's a funny, thorough lecturer, and he's really kind and approachable. You can tell that he really loves his teaching and biology. The tests in 7C, specifically midterm 1, are known to have pretty ambiguous wording that can make you lose points on content you understand due to misunderstanding the semantics of the question, but that's just how it is, and all the professors give the same test. Regardless, it gets better as the quarter goes on! The content overall is fascinating, and Dr. Pham does an awesome job teaching it. All lectures are recorded.

Hung is such a sweet guy so I feel bad saying this, but there is a bit of difficulty created by his accent and I usually have no trouble understanding accents (I do have an auditory processing disorder but it's never been this hard for me before). That being said, he is so kind and willing to help and always enthusiastic. My only critique is that he got fairly behind in the material by the end and had to breeze through quite a bit on the last day. As a whole, I would still recommend taking him, especially if he teaches with Khankan again. I would DEFINITELY take him over Pires or Kane.
