Excellent prof. Always provides supplementary course notes and midterm/final reviews to help you study. Exam material is super similar to homework, and it's pretty easy to do well given you put in some effort.

Fantastic prof! All his teaching was very similar to exams and assignments, you could tell he genuinely cared about how well his students did. If you have the opportunity to take a class with him you should.

Amazing prof! Lectures are interesting and he is always willing to answer questions. He also gives study guides for the midterm and exams that tell you exactly which subjects will be on them. Would definitely take a class with him again if I have the chance!

Hard to hear sometimes but his notes on the board are stellar. Exams very accurately reflect assignments and are quite easy. I would definitely take stats with him again.

Beyond me how peeps can hate on kulik. He's THE man. Recommend him for every single math class you have. He'll help you pass with flying colours, just listen to what he has to preach in class and you'll be gold. Best stats prof at the univ by far

Best statistics professor at the university. Clear, funny, and cares about you and your grades. He will help you pass with flying colours because he is very transparent with what will be tested.

Kulik is a great professor! Assignments are long but not hard.. just very tedious. He is super helpful in his office hours so make sure to see him! He's really approachable. His class notes were good and I didn't use the textbook ever. He also posts typed up lecture notes online. Midterm and exam were fair and there were no major surprises.

Comment:

Very disorganized. Not a good lecturer (although you can tell that he knows his stuff). Lecture notes are useless. The book chosen for this course is terrible and for the most part irrelevant to the material covered in class. Hence very difficult to master the material, which is disappointing because time-series analysis is very interesting :(

This guy is one of the best math profs of uOttawa. He's so helpful in his office hours, and doesn't trick us when it comes to tests. You will know exactly what to study: no surprises. He's a hard worker, and is a great teacher. I can't recommend this guy enough.A+ for him.

He is a prof who seems to be all over the place. Disorganized, and horrible for giving help. He'd rather just give you the answer in his office than help you.

Amazing professor ! Very talented and knows how to convey the subject of matter at hand. If you attend class he covers examples that are as is right on the assigments and exam. In addition to being available during office hours, he cares about students being successful and goes out of his way just to help. Highly recommended!!

Comment:

Clear vocal instructions. Always listen to what he's saying. Doesn't follow manual exactly, but you get what you need from lectures. Deserves a 2/5 in clarity: he get's messy on the blackboard and sometimes doesn't finish proofs ... exams and HW are made easy (on purpose, I think).
