Rob is simply the best! He is super clear and teaches the course in such a cool way! He will answer ALL your questions because he has a very deep understanding of EVERY topic in the course. On top of this, he attends to every tutorial and remembers pretty much everyone's names!

Rob is a GREAT prof. He genuinely cares about the success of all of his students and makes the concepts easy to understand. He attends all tutorial sessions which are usually just run by TA's and he knows almost every students name! I would definitely recommend taking this course to meet your stats requirement even if you aren't in forestry.

Rob is one of the best profs I've had so far in university. Not only does he have a good, understandable example for EVERY subject/topic taught but he makes things lighter and more enjoyable just when you think stats might get boring. People seem to think he has a "cool prof act" but hes genuinely just cool, easy going and knows his material. 10/10

Comment:

He's very kind: willing to host supplementary lectures & roams around the forestry building during exam periods to help students out. As a math-hater, I struggled. I failed his class for the first time because I didn't do enough practice exams and questions. Textbook was very helpful and if you pay attention in class, I'm sure you'll do fine!

Great prof! Would definitely take again! Show up and do practice questions and practice exams. Readings don't matter but know your definitions as midterm and final were both roughly 20% definitions! Labs super easy and helpful! I'm more into EDM though, sorry Rob:)

He's the greatest professor of all time. At first you might think he's putting on an act, but if you give it time you'll realize that he actually is THAT cool. The man made lecturing in leather pants work, for Christ's sake.

Rob Kozak, is the one of the best profs I have ever had. He takes something that students find difficult and makes things easily understandable for those for whom mathematical thinking is not a strong point. He has superb teaching ability, though his choice in music is a bit questionable :P
