Professor Ray Esquivel, Is a person that challenges you but does care for you to pass Statistics; if you reach out to him he is there for you. He makes Stats fun I was really bad at Math but dedication, a paid tutor, and especially spending time at math lab you just won't go wrong just take notes and find a tutor that you understand is key.

Professor Esquivel will pass you if you try! His lectures are all over the place but his humor makes up for it. His goal is to pass everyone who tries even when theyre not doing so well. Be prepared to get a lot of worksheets that you probably wont need/use. Be prepared to study and be in the MSC.I didnt do well on any of my tests and I passed

If you show up and do the work you will pass. He cares a lot about you passing and transferring to a good school. Its a fun class because of his stories and jokes. Open book open notes tests and exams. Buddy quizzes too.

Ray is such a great Professor, he helped me better understand Statistics. However, pay attention to lectures or you will be lost. In class assignments are pretty easy. Tests are okay. his stories are very interesting.

His lectures are all over the place. I never understood anything in his class. You basically have to teach yourself or go to the tutoring everyday. I missed one day throughout the semester and I received a C for missing one class. So with that said don't miss any classes. Make sure he also gives you the grade you deserve!

His lectures are helpful. Test are the usual some problems are easy some hard study the notes and calculator steps. I stressed all semester, my test scores were not the best I went to every single class lecture and did every quiz and project. I was not expecting to pass but I did. Thanks to his way of grading i'm transferring. Good luck everyone.

Stats is hard but even more harder if you take it with Professor Esquivel, You have to teach almost everything yourself or attend lab in order to learn the material. Not an easy class, you have to push your self to get a good grade.

Comment:

Mr. Esquivel was very specific as to what his expectations were since the beginning of the semester. Attend every class, don't be late, put in time at the math lab, do every homework assignment and try your best on all the exams. I followed his expectations, and my exam grades weren't that good, but I still walked away with a decent grade.

Professor Esquivel definitely wants you to participate in his class by attending every single meet, completing ALL assignments, doing your best on the exams don't leave blanks and putting in time into attending tutoring. He's very inspirational, funny and makes class fun.

Professor Esquivel definitely wants you to participate in his class by attending every single meet, completing ALL assignments, doing your best on the exams (you don't need to pass them just try) and putting in time at the math lab. Do these four things and you will walk away with a satisfying grade. His lectures are poor but he is entertaining.

At first this class may seem really hard but honestly he is a great teacher and very considerate at times. Just make sure to show up every day to class, do ALL your homework and projects that he assigns, take ALL the tests and you will pass the class forsure!

Comment:

Mr. Esquivel gave me an A but I left his class knowing nothing. I spent 90% of my time in the math lab. His lectures are all over the place. He doesn't provide SLOs. If it wasn't for the tutors or math lab then I wouldn't have passed the class. Our tax dollars pretty much pay for him to say, "Go to the mathlab."

Comment:

Proffesor Esquivel really cares that all his students pass. if you really want the A you have to prove that to him. His teaching skills are very adaptable only if your willing to pay attention and focus in class. Do all projects, show up to class, and take every test and youll be fine. I really recommend him to those whos struggle in STATS.

Would not recommend. hard to stay motivated throughout the semester when the prof does not care. You have a better chance at learning the subject on your own very confusing.

It's difficult to narrow down my experience, I struggled throughout the entire course but ended up with a decent grade. I received D's on every single exam but I think he knew I was working hard to pass. This guy wants you to pass! Notes and attendance are crucial, he sees you're trying and your grade will reflect your efforts. Really funny guy too

Ray Esquivel. In a nutshell this man is a no BS professor who engages the students from all walks of life. Statistics is by no means an easy class, however, Prof. Esquivel is not interested in letting you fail the course! Come to class (on time!) do your HW and projects and there should be no reason why you shouldn't pass. Show effort and you will

Esquivel WANTS you too pass! Believe me when I say this, math is not my strongsuit and I struggled the whole semester taking this course, but I showed up every day and took my notes. I found myself discouraged at my exam grades (they almost all came out to be 65%.) I find myself chuckling in the end I ended up getting a B in the course. HANDLED!
