"Professor Ngac made my class experience unique and welcoming. As a transfer student I was worried about how I would adapt to a new environment and major. Professor Ngac made both concerns seamless and nerveless for me. His classes, although technical and deep, were straightforward and fun to learn in due to his teaching techniques, current experience, and passion in his field.

The information I have learned from his class has been practical and used outside of the classroom in various applications. When material in class or online was harder to digest and questions needed to be asked, his office hours and quick email responses made these issues go away. Professor Ngac’s friendly and encouraging classroom environment makes it hard for students to not be engaged with the material and classwork. "
