Comment:
Prof. Drekic's lectures are well-prepared and his notes are well-organized. He is caring and helpful during office hours, and he never makes you learn with fear. The course material is like second nature to him. If I want to be good at anything, I want to be good at it just like Prof. Drekic being good at probability theory.

Professor Steve is one of the best professor I have ever had! He provides extremely clear lectures, organized lecture notes, and he is also available to help outside the class. His exams are challenging compared with all other instructors, but can be thought as a better preparation for more advanced courses. Love his lectures sooooooo much!

He is one of the best STAT profs I have ever had in Waterloo! He cares a lot about his students and he does an excellent job in explaining materials and tries every way to make sure that we understand. He structured the course so that student will pass as long as they work hard. My 'goto' prof for STATS courses!

Took Stat 333 in Winter 2016. He has clear notes and is very helpful out of class. His quizzes get progressively more difficult as you go on. The Final really puts you to the test. It is arguably the hardest Final for Stats 300 courses. Studying hard throughout the semester helps ease the final pains. Instead of cramming in the days before.

I took his STAT 333 this term. I would say he is definitely a good prof. Clear notes, nice and helpful. And you can learn things from his class. However, the test are not easy. In particular, the final is really hard(fortunately,he curved our final). There are 5 quizzes with average around 62 for this term, the final is way more tough than quizzes.

Steve is a very nice prof who is willing to take time to answer your questions, no matter how dumb they seem to you. His office hours are usually packed, so you'll want to get there early.

The prof himself is very good. clear notes with good examples, organized lectures, very nice boardwriting, very helpful and patient in his office hour. Good professor but just the exam especially the final is way too hard omg, gee, final exam questions are just incredibly hard which drop ur grades very low.

Very nice prof. Understands the material extremely well and can explain/communicate ideas simply. However, as others have stated, STAT333 is the hardest final I've ever taken at Waterloo. I can't describe the look on people's faces when the exam ended, and it was EVERYONE who thought it was hard.

Very hard final. I did the practice (about 100 questions) in total. But it is sooooooooooo hard. The total average for the 5 quizs is about 69. The final is way much harder than the quiz. Hope I can pass

It is a hard course but at the same time, the most interesting course ever. Steve is really nice and very helpful. If you are ready to learn, then this is the course you should take. ( don't expect to get high marks without studying... its impossible)
