My favourite prof at Ryerson. His class is very clear, to the point and organized. The main thing is that he does everything possible to prepare you for the final exams. we did't use textbook at all, so it is very important to attend lectures and complete exercises on his handouts. he is funny, too. felt sorry to hear he's retiring.

i did soooo well in data management in high school..finished at the top of my class test were hard and 1/2 the class failed each of the midterms we had during the semester... nice man, great enthusiasm, not the best teacher (esp. for my learning style)

Amazing professor. Had stats 2 with him and he provided hand outs that made the material very clear. We rarely ever used the text book. His tests are fair, but a bit tricky since he puts all possible answers in the multiple choice. Great in class lecturer and very clear, he will help you if you need it. Sadly, I think he's retired. If not, take

Best teacher for the statistic department. Very helpful and engaging in class. He is an awkward old man but I love him! He does not use a textbook or any PowerPoint notes. Key to succeed is to show up and listen in class. Easy quizzes, midterms and exam.

This professor is great. His in class teaching is perfect. He goes over examples slowly and clearly so you understand them well. At times you may get confused but he makes sure you understand, so ask questions if you don't get it. His tests are quite fair, although his first quiz was on the tough side. But definitely worth taking, excellent.

He is amazing. I had him for QMS 102 and chose him again for 202. He's clear and kept you engaged throughout the class. If you had him, there's no need for you to get the textbook because his handouts covered almost everything. His tests and exams were fair, and kind of easy. Just go to all the classes and take notes, then you'll be fine.

Amazing proff. I hate statistics and yet this was the only class I went to every single week and paid attention for the full 3 hours. He keeps the most boring subject interesting and keeps the class engaged allll the time. Honestly, he gives the best booklets and sheets so I regret spending money on the confussing textbook lol:)

Absolutely great prof. Explains everything clearly. Ask him a question and he will make sure he answers till you get it. Very organized. Didn't get the mark I expected, but I actually understood what I was doing with all those calculations and numbers. I would definitely recommend him.

Like everyone said, this guy is the best. He knows his stuff, don't try and ask why you got it wrong, since everything will be MC, 2 quiz, Midterm, and Final ALL MC, that being said. Business statistics is far much more easier than HS data, keep in mind he can be sassy but its funny. So sometimes he is unclear so he'll ask if your with him.

GREAT PROF! Try to get into his class if possible. Made everything really clear and explains concepts until everyone in the class understands. Barely used textbook because he was so clear. I just took really good notes and copied all examples. Not so bad quizzes, tests, exams, all multiple choice some of which are based on examples done in class.
