The Faculty of Management Science was born from the combination of two "parent" Faculties, the Faculty of Sociology and the Faculty of Philosophy.
During the nearly 20 years of construction and development, there have been many generations of students who have graduated! Among them, there are us - the generations that have been nurtured and developed to become the teachers of today, who have never stopped remembering the gratitude towards our "teachers"!
Respect teachers!
Drink water remember the source!
In the atmosphere of Vietnam Teachers' Day approaching, we - the generation of students, the young generation of lecturers today would like to dedicate our heartfelt words to write about "the teacher in me”. I would like to wish teachers and those working in the education sector the best wishes on this occasion!
I grew up in the beloved Faculty of Management Science. Since the Department of Management Science was under the Faculty of Philosophy, many generations of us students have passed on to each other about a teacher whose words made “even crabs in their holes crawl out”. That was Associate Professor Bui Thanh Quat.
During the first year of university, I did not see him. I even boldly stated in class: "Mr. Quat's Logic textbook is more difficult to understand than the textbook of the Pedagogical University". I don't know if my comment reached him or not, but I know that I got 10 points after he asked me an oral exam, I was so scared.
The lessons of Introduction to Social Management taught by my teacher are still intact in my memory – the story about the role of the Queen Bee/Worker Bee in the bee colony; the story about the leader of a herd of wild buffalo protecting the whole colony, to the abstract concepts of “Institutions”, “Institutions”, etc.
Later, one time Khoa organized a vacation, the whole Khoa went to a restaurant, the restaurant used many chipped bowls to serve customers. He called the restaurant staff out and dropped a bowl on the ground to break it as a reminder. After that, all the chipped bowls were changed.
Now that he has retired, we rarely get to see him. For me, Mr. Quat left an indelible impression over the years:A simple and kind teacher in behavior; erudite and strict in science and always demanding high quality work in management..

Perhaps there is no feeling more genuine than the thoughts about Teachers when We ourselves also experience and choose the profession of those who carry the boat of knowledge. The thoughts and feelings of the years when we were students until stepping into the lecture hall as a Lecturer are truly a long and vast journey of worries:How to be a Good Teacher? We feel lucky to always have the shadow of inspirational teachers behind us, helping us to be confident and steadfast in our profession. Living in a humane academic environment, where generations of students are given wings to become teachers in the university lecture hall, we feel deeply the first lessons on the path of learning to be a teacher.
If someone says that Lecturer is a stable profession, working according to the “golden eight hours”, then they really do not understand the university environment – where the boundary between “teaching” and “research” cannot be separated. The first lesson that the Teachers taught us as no longer “Teacher and Student”, but “Teacher and Student as Teacher” is a saying: “Is science a young man's game??”. The process of hard work and many stumbles, with tears for the first failures in the classroom, when doing science of the students, perhaps the teachers are the ones who witnessed the most. The teachers' harshness about scientific standards, standards of the teaching profession made us sometimes doubt about the career path we had chosen... But after reaping small successes in research, after teaching hours loved and recognized by students, we understood that: In doing science, in teaching, there is no place for the two words "SATISFACTION". Knowledge is always an ocean when the experience we have, is just drops of water - can quickly evaporate when science out there is changing more and more and a whole generation of young people 4.0 has countless "Technology Teachers" who will need and want to learn new things (and must be new to the world).
Mr. Vu Cao Dam
The dedication and passion for science and the teaching profession of the teachers seem to have made us mature in thinking about failure, and stand up after each fall with relentless efforts. We have forgotten the question "How old were we when we became teachers and scientists" and only care about "What have we done, are doing and will do when we become teachers and scientists". We have learned the first lesson, teachers!
The story of Master and Disciples Tang Sanzang going to seek the sutras with disciples who each had their own personality made us laugh out loud when thinking about the times when we had to run a monster deadline, the days of "brain attack" to find 7749 ideas just to successfully apply for 01 task, the harsh and tiring field work sessions that made us forget where we had breakfast and lunch for the Masters and disciples who were on the path of cultivating to become Masters. We worked together and shared our successes, but also cried many times because of our first immature failures in science and in the lecture hall. There is a saying "Giants are not those who step on others, but those who lift others on their shoulders.”. The Teachers – the Giants of the Team have led Us to unite and complement each other since we don’t know when. In the depths of our thoughts, behind every success, big or small, is the effort of a whole group – where One is for All, All are for One. Strength is not to fight to see who is better, but to create greater and greater Strengths. Especially when Strength is passed on through many generations of Teachers and students who become Teachers. The second lesson that We “requested” on the path of cultivation is – No one succeeds alone in Science, in Teaching.
Mr. Dao Thanh Truong
During an international interdisciplinary scientific conference, our research group was invited to present our ideas and work results. The most surprising thing was that the professors appointed and encouraged us to represent them in the report, with a confident and proud attitude to introduce “Vietnamese scientists” - not “Vietnamese PhD students” in a scientific forum - not a “language contest”. Our presentation that day was not perfect, although it was recognized for our ideas, methods and research results. The scientists recognized our individual maturity throughout the research process until our presentation in the conference that day. However, in that moment, the respect that the professors showed to their students when they stepped out of their comfort zone to integrate into a larger scientific community, made us feel moved, it is difficult to describe in words. Lesson three - “Learning by doing"- We really understand the meaning of this saying, Teacher!
It is impossible to write and express all the feelings when being students of the Teachers. We truly love and silently thank the "Professional Founder" for helping us find and be appreciated by the Teachers. The inspirational lessons that the Teachers taught are still somewhere intact and deep in our minds like the first days when we were students, until becoming a lecturer at the university.
Becoming a Teacher is very difficult, is it a joke? "Without a Teacher, you can't do it" - Learning to be a Teacher is probably the most difficult path of learning, requiring teachers who not only have heart and vision but also have an open heart. That heart contains harsh lessons about the standards of the teaching profession, the standards of the scientific community, but also carries the hopes and beliefs that the next generation of students will become true and professional Teachers in the future.
