He's a great professor to have. He explains everything well and his tests are easy. You'll love him! I highly suggests statistics with him.

great class...lets us use laptops during class...lets us out early...great teacher who can joke around with us every class..

He makes the class fun and interesting. Keeps a loose classroom. Smart and funny man who gives easy and straightforward test.

He is great, very very nice guy! Make sure you understand all of his examples and copy them down, tests are exactly like notes. He wears this great striped shirt, makes him look like a bee! Gret sound effects, he's a funny guy!

Knowleadable teacher, who happens to be congenial by nature. Class was rather elementary but that was due to the incoherence of the remainder of the class. A man that one takes pride in knowing.

the best!

The greatest teacher at St Johns, he explains everything very well, i loved going to that class because the atmosphere was very relaxed and calm

I love this professor- he teaches STATS the way it should be taught- He is great!

He is the best professor in SJU. He is smart, funny and great teacher. I wish all professor can be like him.

I love this prof. He is the best teacher at St. Johns. One of the nicest guys i ever met.Everyone should take him.He is always willing to help his students and he really cares about ur grade.

He is the best teacher. Cares about your progress, very clear in teaching and he's funny. The textbook isn't necessary that's how good he teaches. Statistics can be confusing and boring but with this guy. You'll want to go to class.

One of the greatest professors ever. Everyone should take him. He explains everything very thoroughly and he is easy to understand. He has a great sense of humor and he really cares about his students. I sure wish I had him for all my other math classes!

An awesome man!! Dr. Russakoff is interesting, sweet, caring, funny, helpful, and the best!! Take him!! A must!!

Great professor. Easy. Repeats much of the material, which reinforces your knowledge in the concepts he teaches. Wants you to definitely know them. Tells you what will be on the exam. Really cool guy. Do the problems as he goes along, and you'll do well.

GREAT GUY!!! Very caring and helpful towards students. Wants everyone to do good - repeats material over and over again - tests are pretty easy - very quirky man but ya gotta luv it! No homework - 3 tests + final - very clear teacher. TAKE THIS TEACHER!

Great Professsor. Really makes learning statistics fun

GREEAAT guy! had him for DS2333 too. Very down to earth guy, and if you get to know him, he cares about his students. No HW. Summer class-- never absent, but always leave out early. :) One of a kind. I wish all my teachers were like him. Cool man. 8)

I've taken over 30 professors here at SJU...and Russakoff is by far the best of all of them!

Good Man

this guys is awesome funny tells the best story, u dont do too much. but do the little work he asks of you and you will get an A. Awesome class!

Dr. Rusakoff is the best math teacher at Saint John's. He attempts to portray the work as simple to ease you into the more complicated material, which he knows backwards. He deliberately tries to make learning math fun. Genius!

Probably the best teacher I've had at SJU. You laugh because the stuff seems so easy, but it's all a part of his genius. Great teacher, great guy.

the best statistics teacher from the whole department. take him if you have an option.

come on who doesnt love russy...da man is so chills i want his job...good professor and made my life much easier...thank you...if u can take him DEFINITLY TAKE HIM IN A HEART BEAT!..too bad his class always fills

Dr. Rusakoff should receive the best math teacher of the yaer award. If all math teachers were like him then the U.S would not lag so far behind the rest of the world in math and science. He is a genius of mathematics. We need more teachers like him

very easy exams, and you can talk to him about anything. Great sense of humor.

May God Bless this man. He made the class feel so comfortable. One of the best professors at SJU. Everyone should be able take him.

Perfect teacher. Feels like elementary school. If you take him for 2333 better take him for 2334 because other teachers make you work. Great guy!

One of the best profs at sju. Great guy, funny. Takes his time when teaches. Wants everyone to do well. Tells you exactly what to study for on exams. Wonderful Prof and is highly recommended.

He is one of the nicest teachers at sju. He wants everyone to do well and he teaches in an enjoyable way. you will definitely get an A.

Hands down the best prof in STAT. He makes it so simple. He is so helpful.

Great teacher...really laid back and cool. Would definitely take him again

Really laid back. Great guy in a quirky kinda way. Easy class.

The nicest man, and the easiest professor to understand at SJU...TAKE HIM!

Excellent professor. I would advise all who need to take this class to take him. He is sweet and kind and helps you to get an A in the class!

What a nice guy! He is funny and easy. Obviously because all you learn about in this class is the computer programs like word, excel, powerpoint, etc. His homework is simple assignments that u can hand in whenever. you don't have to buy textbooks, and he has 2 tests which are pretty easy because he reviews everything! definately take this guy.

Stats I, very good guy. You actually learn things the way he teaches them. Rarely use the book so don't buy it, its heavy and expensive, no point. His notes and the problems he does will be on the test, so just copy it. He takes his time and makes sure everyone learns before moving on. The tests are easy and HW is close to none. TAKE THIS GUY, A++

Makes a complicated subject like statistics a walk in the park. I laughed when I looked at how complex the subject could be especially those that kill themselves forthe AP statistics exam. I guarantee you will learn the subject manner in a relaxed manner in his class. As an added bonus, there is no need to buy the "overweight and expensive textbook

Definately take the class. He's a really nice person and extremely helpful. The class is easy and enjoyable.

Really good professor. Tries to make a pretty boring subject interesting. Also takes his time to explain problems. Tests are easy. Take!

A charismatic professor. Genuinely cares about student's progress. Makes a dry and complex substance easy to understand

Awesome! This class would be easy for fifth grade. He gives only three exams and practicly gives you the answers the day before. Always lets you out early if your on tuesday or thursday, and the book is completely unnecessary. And the guy is great.

Very helpful/easy tests/ review before midterm and finals. Very lay back on homework assg. Funny guy. Definitely recommended!

The best stats professor at SJU. Makes the subject matter seem elementary, which for stats is all I can ask for. Reviews the concepts almost every class, which makes the tests easy. From someone who took Vasilopoulos for the 1st stats, you're doing yourself a big favor taking Russakoff.

His class is easy, you learn a bunch and he is a really nice person. Bit of a cornball tho. (Niiiiiccccceeeee)

amazing professor. had him for DNY which was mostly based on immigration..easy A..attendance not mandatory, thorough review 2 days before the test..exam is exactly what you review the day before..def recommend..EASY A i repeat

he is great! he gives like 5 homework assignments for the whole semester, takes attendance every day, gives extra credit on exams. take him if u want an a

this guy is the man. he gives a few HW assignments, reviews for tests days in advance, and is an overall nice guy. one of the better teachers at SJU.

He is just amazing! Love him! Easy A....just go to class take notes and study.

Simply the best! I had 3 different stat teachers before him and couldn't understand them at all. I took him and learned alot. Got an A.

statistics 1. easy! hes an amazing professor. lets class out early everyday. attendance isnt mandatory but u should come to class. the text is too expensive, n i've never opened it once!! buy it only bc u will need it for stats 2. 3 exams n a final. go 2 him if u are having trouble, he def is helpful. wish he was teaching stats 2 =(

Great Professor, makes a difficult subject CLEAR unlike POLLACK!!! Take Russakoff if you want to learn and get an A. Attendance is not mandatory, but is necessary for you to learn the material. Tests are easy because of the extensive review the class before.

Kind, friendly and above all, a great professor. Explains the subject in a way you can understand it. Fair grader on tests and projects were a lot of fun.

I took him for Fall 2008, it was one of the most easiest clases I've ever had at SJU. He teaches the subject perfectly and goes over the material over and over again until you understand it. He gives clear presentations and offers helps after class. 4 tests, and 1 homework. This professor is much better than Vasilopoulos. Take Him!!! No Text.

He is a nice man, teaches everything very clearly, if you dont get an A in this class then you should check your pulse because you're most likely dead, and even if u die i think he would still give you an A he is the best teacher u can take for DNY

MY FAVORITE PROFESSOR IN SJU!!! He explains everything very clearly & repeats anything if you don't understand it. Just come to class everyday take good notes & pay attention! He's a really good person & he is always there to help!

AWESOME PROF!! Him and Sabino made up my Tuesday and Thursday classes.. i hadnt had 1 TR class for my full freshman year, soph year i had them back to back, BEST SEMESTER OF MY LIFE!! It was still like a day off, he makes u WANT to goto class just like Sabino, i was upset at myself for cutting it lol. So helpful TAKE! cant wait to have him for Stat

great

skipped cis 1331 and took the one for accounting majors just to take this guy..he was my only tues and thurs class...i pretty much had a 3 day school week with the benefactor of an A

Take this guy. One small HW all semester, 3 easy tests that he basically gives you the answers to. No textbook, no attendance. One of the best, and a really nice guy too.

One of the best professors ever. 3 easy tests that he does a thorough review class before. Also he gives goofy extra credit on the tests to help your grade. He talks to his students before class to get to know them better as well. Also no textbook required.

best prof for stats hands down

He's such a great guy, and he plays the bagpipes! He has a very laid back class atmosphere, you will rarely be sitting in class for longer than 30 minutes on a given day. A few, short, easy quizzes that he reviews all of the materials for the day before. Take Russakoff if you can!

This Professor made class fun, he played the bagpipe on St. Patricks day. Easy to understand and very lenient. On exams he even gave hints to what the answer is. Must go to class though or you'll miss out. Talk to him after class for help or just to joke around or electronics. Very understanding

EASIEST CLASS I EVER TOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome professor! Super easy and super helpful. If you go to class and pay attention, you'll do well. He's funny and really energetic, so lectures usually aren't boring. Played the bagpipes on St. Patty's Day.

You do not need any textbook in class. Attendance is not mandatory. If you attend class, you will know exactly what's on the test, word for word. Class is never a full-period, it varies from 10 - 35 minutes. He also has played the bag pipes on St. Patrick's Day. This is an extremely easy class, you would want to take it, for an easy A.

The best prof you could imagine. Only teaches for 40 mins. You will learn what you have to. Very interesting guy wonder why can't every prof be lik him. 3 exams before the final. Infact he did not want me to take the finals. If you do good in all 3 exams you will be exempted for the finals. Very helpful person. Played bag pipe on St Patrick's day!!

Awesome. He did not keep the class for the whole time. He was fun. And made everything completely understandable. He made you enjoy and want to be in class, something that is hard to do for a stat class. 3 class tests plus final exam. Get A's on all of them & he might exempt you from the final exam. He is one of those professors you MUST take.

Best Professor in St. Johns.

MOST AMAZING PROFESSOR AT ST JOHNS! he is the greatest. class never lasts longer than 40 minutes, he tells you exactly what you need to know and never tries to trick you. easy A and you learn a lot! i wish i could take his class over and over again

LOVED HIM! He's so easy! He makes the topic fun to learn. His classes never last more than 40 minutes. Sometimes, we get let out in 10 minutes. He tells you exactly whats on the test. His tests are super easy, and on every test, he gives these Extra Credit questions you can answer. An example would be "draw a picture of a vampire computer".TAKE HIM

GREAT PROFESSOR, NEVER KEEPS YOU IN CLASS FOR MORE THAN 40 MIN.

Do not buy the textbook. He will never use it. Make sure its your last class of the day because he rarely keeps you more than 40 mins. Good guy. Take him in spring so you hear him play the bagpipes.

Amazing professor, kept students engaged. Simplified complex things, went over them multiple times. Before an exam he does a review and makes sure you know everything.

EASY A. He literally tells you what the questions will be on the exam word for word. He gives "projects" that aren't really projects LOL, that take at most 5-7 minutes to do on the computer. If you get an A on the 3 tests, you're exempt from the final. TAKE HIM

Easy A

He is such a good professor. He rarely keeps you for the full time which is great. His class is easy to follow along with and he reviews a lot. He is such a nice and funny guy. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

He is so sweet. The class is really easy, he repeats the material in a review, and he's always available if you need help. Also, he plays the bagpipes around St. Patrick's Day which is definitely a plus.
