"Professor Ngac is an outstanding professor. He came to class prepared to get the best out of his students. He is methodical in his approach to teaching and strives to get his students to go above the minimum expectations when it comes to course projects. Whenever I was confused or stuck on a problem, he would take the time to sit with me and provide detailed examples to help me view the problem from a different angle. He made the class exciting by applying what he has learned throughout his career to teach us new skills, which undoubtedly will be used by many in their careers. Taking two courses with Professor Ngac was an exceptional experience that sparked my passion to continue my education."
