Comment:

I give Ros a 5 star rating because he is easy marker, and gives out easy marks, his teaching is slow, and packed with mistakes in lecture, Sauder goal. Pop quizzes are done as a class so ask help from your friends 10/10 and create network of classmates to partner up and help each other later on there 1 project and 1 simulation game was tough

Great professor! You can see he tries his best to let everyone understand the material. In this course, self-study is important because you sometimes may not understand what he is teaching. Nice guy, really helpful but exams are slightly challenging.

Comment:

If you want to transfer to UBC, take other courses instead of this one plus two STAT courses. This teacher is only one who teaches this course, and honestly you cannot learn much from him. Just like others said, you need to self-study to success in this course. He is nice. However, he is extremely bad at teaching. He gave quizzes almost every class

Best prof at Langara. Doesn't tend to reply to emails quite often, but his office hours are super helpful. He pretty much tutors you! Does daily quizzes as attendance, so as long as you pay attention in class you will do fine during the quiz. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ROS! He is super cool and very funny.

Ros is one of the nicest teachers I have had at Langara, he genuinely cares about his students and has a unique sense of humour. Attend his class, do his practice midterms and textbook questions to study.

Comment:

Classes are boring but if you can get through them there is an extra 10% participation. You don't learn much and have to do a lot of self-studying... 1st midterm is pretty easy take home 2nd midterm is really difficult start this way ahead of time! The final is heavily weighted and is difficult... Overall you will do okay if you put the effort in

Ros doesn't even know what he doesn't even know. Do NOT take his class. Makes smirk remarks as if you are dumb. Super old, needs to retire asap.

Comment:

Lectures are sometimes confusing and unclear as if he is talking to himself. Here is when the textbook is mandatory, you have to read by yourself to understand more. If you go to his office hours he is very willing to help. Only 1 midterm (easy), 1 final (hard), and 1 group project.

I love ros but he doesn't teach well. If you like to talk and have fun he's the prof to have and if you go to him for his office hours and show him effort he will never fail you. Only problem with Ros is that he can't really teach and there's no breaks for his class. Overall though if you study hard you will get at least a B

Barely teaches during class time, he talks about his life. Always asks us to work on assignment while expecting us to know all the materials before we come to class. Allows help sheet in the exam where you can write anything there. You'll have to work hard in order to get a good grade.

Comment:

Not an exciting class. You will need to study on your own time and do lots of examples. He will help you a lot if you require it. If you can't get a good grade you didn't really try as he allows help sheets in his exams.

Best prof ever. He will help YOU anyway possible to get an A. However, you do have to work for it, if your lazy then youll get a C or low B. But all his questions are from the text book so do them until you understand them!

If you can't study on your own, don't take his course. Even though i went to his office hour for many times, it is still helpless. I just don't know what is he talking about.I wish i didn't take his course.

Comment:

Terrible explanation! Easy midterm but hard final! Just don't like his way of teaching. Made me sleepy. Annoying project! The material was harder in the second half of the course, but he didn't teach well and give clear explanation! Not suitable for teaching!!! You can do well if you're good at self study but you still need to take his notes.
