Young, enthusiastic, always put himself in the position of learners to understand what his students want. Perhaps that is what has created special classes for International Joint Program students at UEB - CITE.
The teacher we
want to talk about today is Dr. Vu Duy - Lecturer at Faculty of Political
Economy and Secretary of Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union - VNU University of
Economics and Business. Dr. Vu Duy is also one of the young scientists of UEB
with many achievements in scientific research; Top 5 lecturers with many articles
published in the world's leading prestigious international journals in 2021 of
UEB.
Before coming to
UEB, Dr. Vu Duy has many years of study and research in the field of economics
in the French Republic; He has participated in research collaborations with the
Center for Research in Law, Economics and Management in France (GREDEG-CNRS),
Vietnam Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and
Industry… He is also the author of many articles published in prestigious
national and international scientific journals. His current main research and
teaching directions are Political Economy, Institutional Economics, History of
Economic Theories, and Applied Economics.
With his

“Simplify” concepts through close-to-life examples
With the teaching
strategy "Always put yourself in the position of the students to
understand what Gen Z wants" along with respecting different opinions,
creating motivation for students to speak and express their opinions, Mr. Duy
has helped many students overcome the barrier of shyness to progress through
each class. Because he always puts himself in the student's position, he
understands that Gen Z loves technology, so in his lessons, he creates online
games so that students can interact directly through examples. Specifically.
Mr. Duy shared: “Gen Z acquires quickly but has poor concentration, so in the
teaching process, I often design a brief theoretical lesson time, but increase
the practice time, focusing on repeating the knowledge in the classroom. at the
beginning and at the end of the lesson to grasp how well their students can
absorb the lesson after each lesson.”
In order for
students to have a better understanding of the subject, the teacher often gives
specific examples so that you can understand the lesson faster, he gives
exercises for students to study consumer behavior, the behavior of producers,
the formation and defects of the market as well as the influence of the State's
policies on the above subjects. The subject sounds like it is
"flooded" with theory, but it has a very high applicability, when
almost every problem in it can be easily found examples in everyday life. From
the constrained story of income, personal preferences, and optimal shopping
choices to the story of monopolistic, competitive markets. With a wealth of professional
experience and engaging teaching methods, each lesson of Mr Duy brings students
a lot of useful knowledge.
Dr. Vu Duy during a lecture on Microeconomics at UEB - Troy
“Microeconomics is
the subject that I find most interesting this term, not only because of the
knowledge I have learned, but also because I have learned from Mr. Duy. My
first impression of Mr. Duy is that he is a very good English speaking teacher,
very funny, friendly, approachable and full of enthusiasm. Microeconomics is a
rather dry subject, but when I study it, I feel that knowledge is very easy to
"get into". He often gives very detailed examples, figures and
illustrations, interspersed with Quizzi lessons that are very useful for
memorizing the lesson, helping me and my friends better understand the
knowledge we are learning. Le Thanh Khoi - K20 UEB student - Troy shared.
Passing the passion for Scientific Research to
international students
As a lecturer and
also a person who has a passion for scientific research since he was a student,
that's why Mr. Duy always wants to pass on this passion to his students,
especially. with International Joint Program students. According to Mr. Duy,
due to the specificity of the curriculum, international students always have an
open and international approach to issues. You have a creative and multi-dimensional
way of thinking and approaching problems that sometimes surprises the
lecturers. Therefore, directing international students to participate in
scientific research is what he always aims for. “During the course of teaching,
I noticed that students have a connection between painting, music and
economics. Besides, you also caught the trend quite quickly, from everyday
stories in life to international events, making the lessons always fresh. I
think that the scientific research of international students will open up a lot
of interesting research directions. And in the future, I will continue to
support them so that UEB - CITE students will soon have scientific researches
and publications in magazines" - Mr. Duy shared.
UEB is home, students are relatives
Returning home and
choosing the VNU University of Economics and Business (UEB) as a stopover after
having many experiences in his career. Sharing about the reason for becoming a
lecturer of UEB, Mr. Duy said: “UEB is an open, highly internationalized
environment where all staff, lecturers and students can create everything.
favorable conditions for comprehensive development. I consider UEB as my home
and the students as my relatives.” I hope that the students will maintain their
enthusiastic learning spirit so that every lesson is useful and full of
positive energy. In addition to studying in class, actively practice analyzing
learned issues through reading and commenting on issues in newspapers and news.
I also hope that you will nurture the individuality and identity of
international students; actively participate in extracurricular and community
activities besides studying, so that youth at UEB is brilliant and colorful.
With UEB’s students, Mr. Vu Duy is not only a teacher but also a friend
“Find the passions
in life and do the work you love, because then you won't have to work a day” -
that is the slogan and guideline in our life and work. Mr. Vu Duy - a teacher
who is always full of energy and love for his work. Hopefully, with his passion
and enthusiasm for students "never cools down", Mr. Vu Duy will continue
to spread "fire" to many generations of UEB students in general and
international joint program students in particular on the process of acquiring
new knowledge.
