Makes the subject very clear, gives a lot of notes, and pre-tests that don't affect your grade. Pretty easy overall.
I love him, I'm currently taking him and getting A in all tests. You need to do all the HW and the pretests, it is impossible to get a C with him unless you never open your math textbook.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
it was my 3rd time taking mac1105(i know is sick for not passing it the first time) I got a C as my final grade in a 6week summer term. His HW and pretest do help a lot.!!!
This guy has to be to best teacher in MDC. He helps you any time any day out of the week. Explains everything very clear. He post reviews for all his test. He is a proffesional. He is taking a break starting next semister (2006-1) hopefully he will be back soon.
Great teacher, he is available to help students anytimes and also on weekends, he gives a lot of extra credit to help students, very professional, he does know his subject well.
I highly reccomend this professor for statistics. I'm like the worst person in math, I was able to pass. You still have to study since day one, but he helps you a lot.
Awesome Professor. Iam not to good in math but i was able to pass. He cares alot about the students academic standing and he is a great teacher. Thanks to him i finally learned math clearly
EXCELENT! HIS WAS MI THIRD TIME TAKING STATISTICS AND I NOT ONLY PASSED WITH AN A BUT I ACTUALLY ENJOYED STUDING FOR THE TESTS. HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HIS STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL INCLUDING PRACTICE TESTS AND REVIEWING BEFORE EACH EXAM SO WHEN YOU TAKE THE TEST NOTHING IS NEW TO YOU. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR.
He is a great person, very good sense of humor, made the friday evening classes enjoyable and fun....and he also likes soccer!!! thats a plus....
my gpa is a 3.86 and even with studying 15 hours a week for this class i had to drop. he is clueless. he doesn't write the exam. he doesn't know what is on the exam. he doesn't even know how many tests there will be.. only that there is a cum. midterm and final. his reviews weren't helpful and neither is he. i recommend maria alverez.
test #2 only 6 or 7 out of 40+ students got above a 70% i do not recommend him.
One thing going for him his practices on his website! But when you get the test its another story..My GPA will suffer for being his student!
great Professor, fair, although not easy
Great Professor!!!! Need to study, but the material is not hard, you just have to read and practice.
Passed class with a C. I found the subject to be a bit difficult but with more studying might have found it easier. If you're failing the class he will give you what you get on the Final. Good professor though, he really cares for his students. From what I've heard he's the easiest Stats Prof at MDC
I got a C in the class. I started off really bad in the class, but got it in the end. I probably could have done better in the beginning had I studied and asked for a little help. But in the end I got it. He's very helpful and fun in class. He knows his stuff. He's available for help. Cool guy. Definitely recommend him.
GREEAT! I finally made it in this course. he made it easy to understand and its website videos are great, thanks
He's a great professor. Stats is a bit complicated but he makes a great job to put it as easy as possible. If you need to pass such a difficult subject class....he is your only hope.
He is a great teacher, just pay attention and make sure you ask questions if you dont understand, very patient. His website is awesome and is a major help as well. Should be easy to pass. I got an A
i love this professor! i got an A+....just study ur notes and the website and you'll be fine! i never even opened the book! this is one of the best professors i have ever taken!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome Professor!!! I got an A. He is always ready to help you, and his web page is a great tool to pass the class. Just complete all the exercises, follow his instructions, and you will be fine. He says what is going to be included in the test, so attend class. He is the best STA professor at North Campus.
Great professor, very helpful, not an easy grade, but as long as you put some effort and do the work you will pass.
he us a very good professor.Makes crazy jokes,always ready to help. I am taking his class now dont know how my score is going to be :-) It should be good.
Pleasant person, but teaching skills horrible.
Great Professor, very helpful. He has his own website that is very helpful and videos on problems. His lectures are quick, but not as organized. So make sure to take GOOD notes, and do all the practice homeworks from the website, his test are based on the hwks. you will do great!
can some one please answer... is his quiz/test fairly easy or tricky hard?
Dr.Canas is a very easy going person. He likes to joke around too. At first he seems to teach kind of fast, but his website canaslearningcenter.com (full of math videos) is a HUGE help!Make sure you view those videos.Overall the class is not super hard, but requires lots of studying. He likes students to participate in class, so sit up front!
Dr. Canas is a very knowledgeable person. He really makes you understand the material and makes it seem super easy for the students. He is also very accesible, you can arrange to meet before class and study for the exam. I highly recommend him for anybody who really wants to learn, but if you are a slacker, you may want to find an alternative.
He's a very nice guy and jokes around a lot. His exams get easier as you gain the knowledge. His teaching is not the greatest although you will learn a thing or two from his lectures but be prepared to study and learn on your own sometimes. You don't need the book at all, I got an A just by studying from his site which is very helpful to be honest.
Professor Canas is great, he really helps you if your in need. He makes time before class to tutor his students who need extra help. I can truly thank him for helping me understand Algebra. I've heard horror stories from other students who took Algebra with different professors. If you can, take this guy he's great.
Prof. Canas is extremely helpful. Statistics was very difficult but I ended up with a B, with his help. He is very funny and makes the class interesting. Awesome professor!!!!
This teacher is very clear when he teaches, extremely helpful and he's always available when he teaches. I've tried taking this class twice before and dropped them because teachers did not know how to explain the subject. He's very knowledgeable, and makes his classes so fun.
Man,this is an excellent professor, if you want to learn take him, he has his own website and takes his time to explain the material, his joke are hillarious. Thank you Dr. Canas you are the best
Great professor, but you have to put your .02 cents - study from his website and you will do good on the test, very helpful and patient with students. Thank you Dr. Canas you are the best
Great prof, makes the class fun and interesting. Dont need the book, his website and notes are good enough to pass the class.
Not a great professor-- I had him for virtual college Stats and it was frustrating since Test #2. He was always a week late in putting the test up from the day the calendard said it'd be put up. And he was really really bad at resonding to emails quickly. It always took at least 4 days to hear back from him. Yea he is nice but thats not whats going
Best Professor, Very fair with students.
Took his class two years ago. Funny guy and makes class fun. I got an A didn't have to take final. Study from his website. One of the best professors I had
Prof Canas Does not really do a lot of teaching for mac1105.I am in the class and have not learned anything.To me he is there for a paycheck.Not very Helpful, and things on the test he did not go over.He expects you to go to the math Lab instead of teaching.When you send emails,he does not respond.He knows Math,but expects you to know what he knows
Online you are on your own, good luck trying to get a hold of him. He really does try though to communicate with you but he takes really long. He really does care and try to help you out when you have questions or concerns. If you want to pass Statistics Take Him, you will pass, and actually learn the material. I do recommend him! Take him!
i am to take him online.Can someone pls tell me how many test/exams in his class. Is midterm and final proctored or can it be taken anywere? Does he skip the final for online with good grades?
Quizzes and HW is online. Alot of HW on mymathlab.com but he is forgiving with most quizzes as you can take all but one twice online. the final is proctored but the review he gives is a good idea of whats on the final. Not a hard class you just have to do the work.
I need an easy math teacher for statistics. I plan to take him online. Whoever has taken this class online is his homework and the book mandatory ? How many tests does he assign ? What exams are proctored ?
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHATS THE FINAL EXAM WORTH?
Best professor ever! never thought i would pass stats... i took his class online... you wont regret! pass with a 79%... one point from a b... but overall i am completely satisfied!
Online course: Canas was extremely helpful through out the course. He sent us videos of him actually explaining the work to us before the tests which helped out a lot. The homework is a must especially if you want an A in the class. Do it. You will thank me later. Final is proctored.
Take him!!! I failed before and got a B this time. This professor cares!!! My class ended at 10pm and he would stay after just to help students. He gives you many examples and explains how the math can be applied in real life. Reviews before test. Don't buy the book. The way he explain things is totally different from the book and others teachers.
This class has been the hardest one I've ever taken. Although helpful at times, Mr. Canas was very inconsistent overall; there were many discrepancies (related to deadlines, instructions, etc.)since the beginning. He often took more than the 24hr response policy listed on the sylabus to email students back, and his responses weren't all that clear.
Take him!! He makes the class super easy. I passed with an A and im not even good at math. You dont need the textbook at all just pay attention during class and do the homework
he moves too fast... you haven't finished learning one chapter and he is already moving to the next. if you like math take him he is funny and nice.
HE IS A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR, HE GIVES YOU REVIEWS VERY SIMILAR TO THE TEST AND IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK YOU WILL PASS THE CLASS WITH A OR B YOU DON'T NEED THE TEXT BOOK.
Lets be clear Stat has kick my butt, this is my third time taking it :( But This teacher is awesome!! . The class itself helps you to complete the homework that at the same time prepares you for the test . Be aware you would need to study(know the formulas- u can use the book 1 :( ) in order to solve the test (they may be only 10 questions).
He is very nice and the class is bearable- if you're bad at Math he is probably your best bet, as statistics is no joke.. I'm good at math and struggled with this course. Take him, study, you'll pass.
He is one of the best professors I have came across for math. He is a bit delayed on responding to emails, but it's barable. Very clear grading criteria. Just do the work and you'll get an A!
Great teacher
prof. Canas was able to make me interested and even passionate about a subject I hated!!! He is very clear and do not lecture for hours, he do plenty of exercices in class,If he sees the effort he will go out of his way to help you! lot of homework but that's the right method to learn and memorize, participation may count for xtra credit pts.
took him for Math 1033 and he was fantastic. great note just have to pay attention and take good notes.
This Professor is awesome! He helps you to better understand material, his tests are multiple choice so you're more likely to perform better, and the reviews for his exams are great because as long as you practice the reviews, you're guaranteed to pass. He's slightly sarcastic, but still funny. TAKE HIM!! Thanks PROFE! :)
This proffersor was teaching another chapter juist a few days before the final, hes horrible,dont take him
He is a great professor that gives reviews that look almost identical to the actual test. This class is not an easy A (Most math class aren't) but the work is extremely easy if you study the review that he gives for every test. He even tutors right before class for an entire hour. If you put in the effort you will easily get an A.
Great teacher, but I feel like he doesn't understand how to use these online programs like mathlab where the homework is assigned, they rarely felt like the same material we were going over in class. Gives Good study guides before each exam. Study guides have harder questions than the exams.
Homework is done online but I felt they were irrelevant to the tests. The class was business calculus and we did very few business applied problems (maybe 5). He gives study guides before each test (three) and the final. He is available 1hr before a test to help review. You have to take notes because you have to remember a lot of formulas & rules.
I took this class in a 6weeks. This professor tries to help you get as much extra cefit as possible to pass this class. Take notes and pay attention to " this will be on your test", because it will be. Know you statistical definitions.
Prof. Canas cares about his students, and will go over a problem with out an attitude if a student does not understand. He is very patient with his students he doesn't overload his students with the mandatory online homeworks.
Very great and understanding professor. Would definitely take him again.
Mr Canas is a tough grader. Tests are general 13 questions, half multiple choice half show your work.
Amazing Prof! Truly cares about his students, super funny, knows what he's teaching. Very considerate, I would take him again super quick. As long as you don't miss class you're golden. His teaching method is clear and straight to the point. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he encourages participation in a comfortable environment. Super awesome!
HonestlyUhave2showup2learn. He knows his stuff, is funny, approachable, an overall excellent prof. Study guides are the test, super helpful. My 1 aggravation is that he didnt add the ExCre & drop the lowest test grade as promised. GPA suffered, it matters for grad, medschool which he stressed/wanted us all to strive for. Helping w EC yeah right
Excellent Professor. Keeps a funny and proper environment in the classroom at all times.
Excellent Excellent! Please take this professor. He is very helpful and clear. Stat is not a math class. its a very interesting class because he makes it. Super funny and nice. i would love to take him for calculus. but he mainly works for broward. Hes so good, i bought him Expo Markers.
At first, i was nervous taking this class. but this professor is so clear w everything. few professors like him now in days. So amazing .TAKE HIM.
Professor Canas is funny and knows math very well, do not be afraid to ask questions. Strong accent but you could follow what he is saying. Come to class on time, do MyMathLab, and do the study guides. I took him for a 16-week night course & got a B. Just study!
Prof. Canas is very knowledgeable; however, lectures get confusing at times & he's all over the place. Halfway through the semester classes were transitioned to online due to COVID-19, he resorts to zoom meetings where he'd work examples and answer questions we might've asked via email. Test reviews are similar to actual exams EXCEPT the final!
If you care about your GPA, avoid him. Most unorganized professor. Does not answer emails & disappeared on us when we moved to online. We had to chase him constantly for our lessons. He does not teach, just posts videos of other teachers & a few of his own. He barely goes over test prep sheets & you will not know what your grade is. Beware.
I truly enjoyed Professor Canas' stats class. As someone who isn't great at math, he really tries his best to break down challenging topics and theories, making it understandable. He truly cares and he wants his students to pass. During the COVID19 transition to virtual classes, his lectures were still spot on. Take him! Highly recommend.
This man is the worst teacher Ive ever seen. This class was on Mondays and Wednesdays yet he goes on zoom Friday's , Saturday's , Sundays etc. at random times. The homework & test reviews are nothing like the test, he adds unknown chapters in. He never counted the extra credit as promised. Very unorganized and messy. I regret taking him.
This professor was not considerate when switching from In-person to Online classes. Making or adapting to the change was detrimental to some of us. He randomly held meetings on zoom without a consensus. Meeting times were outside regular class hours. Horrible and very inconsiderate. I do not recommend this professor. Why? He does not care.
I WANTED TO DROP THIS CLASS AFTER THE FIRST LECTURE. HE'S NOT A TERRIBLE PROFESSOR, HE'S JUST NOT THE BEST. I DON'T LIKE HIS LECTURES OR THE WAY HE TEACHES. HE'S NOT VERY STRUCTURED. BUT HE DOES EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO HELP YOU PASS. HE IS VERY NICE AND ENCOURAGING. BUT BE PREPARED TO TEACH YOURSELF IF THIS CLASS IS REALLY NEEDED.
This class that I take is very complicated as I thought it would be. However, I am starting to like this course. This professor likes to hum or sing himself during his lectures, and he's a humorous person. Like it or not, this math course may stress you out, but once you learn these formulas, you could get better in math. So choose him. Believe me.
Went back to school after many years. I was worried this class would be very difficult, but Professor Canas made fun & interesting. I enjoyed his lectures because of his application to real-life situations. He made it easy to understand. The key to his class is taking good notes. & listen to the lecture recordings.
I would definitely recommend taking him. Really all you have to do is get your assignments done for each module and do the tests that are proctored. Attendance is mandatory and he will grade you on it. Most of assignments are also on Pearson. This class is fairly easy if you just get your work done and pay attention to the lectures.
Great course, prepare to study because the majority of your grade depends on Proctored Midterm and Proctored Final. If you do the work on connect math, learn the material. Then you can pass the class.
I feel a sense of respect or this professor bc I know it might be hard to switch to online classes. However, I consider that the lectures are not enough preparation for the tough exams we are presented. I had completed all the homework and still didn't got a grade according to the 2 weeks I spent preparing for the test doing and reviewing the hmrk.
the goat, gave me extra credit n I was able to makeup a test i missed too for 10 points off, make sure you do your work on time or itll build up!! pretty good lectures too, the book isn't necessary just the pearson code so if you already have a pearson acc, you dont need the book. if ANYTHING happens n you miss something email him then TEXT gl!
I would not recommend Professor Canas for STAT2023. I believe his lectures don't prepare students enough for the tests. The tests are challenging and often include material not reviewed during the lecture. He requires you to complete all the chapter homework and have it done on the test day.
Very good professor. Provides everything you would need for an exam and does practice tests with you during class if you have any questions on completing certain problems. I am doing a mini term so, only four exams and chapters to complete course (4-8 hw assignments each chapter). Take notes on formulas given and talk to him if needed; he helps!!
The class is 80% quizz graded, but he gives all the necessary preparation for the quizzes. You have access to lots of videos explaining each theme and also pre tests that, if you study them, almost guaranteed 100% when you take the real test. I really recommend it, he is a person that knows what he is doing and his lectures were amazing.
Professor Canas was amazing in my summer term. He helped me out a lot with understanding the material and teaching exactly what is needed for the test. Also the study guides and videos he provides apart of the course was extremely helpful.
This is a really tough professor. He had 5 grades for my class which included homework and tests .. thats it. DO NOT TAKE HIM, he will assume you know shortcuts for math which you dont. He does not have a textbook he teaches through math lab. He prays that his answer is correct. If you want a good teacher do not take him.
Arrogant, rude, and horrible attitude. Makes the class way more difficult than necessary. "Teaches" using the homework, which he still does wrong sometimes, and then says, "you won't do it wrong on the exam". Expects students to already know shortcuts. Grade is based off mymathlab, 4 exams, and a cumulative final.
Carlos Canas is an OK professor. He does what he has to do but not much more. One thing that did throw me off and other students in the class was how he started his class 10-15 minutes earlier on the first day (this is a summer class so we missed a whole bunch of syllabus review). In addition, he goes on AI and cheating tangents a LOT.
I took this Professor the during the first summer term and his class was fairly easy. He provided test prep which efficiently prepares you for the actual test. He often goes on a tangent about cheating and other things.
Took this prof for MAC 2313. Prof Canas is a very caring & knowledgeable person in what he teaches. Before usually starting on a new concept he likes to concept build to that new concept using concepts you should've learned in previous math courses which can be very helpful. As for the hw he gives you a couple weeks to do it bc of how much it is.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. I swear to you I took it in the summer, 4 hour long class. throughout that 4 hour class time I swear to you 3.5 of them were dedicated to him yapping about AI and how AI is bad. I don't even think I learned anything, just a whole bunch of 7th grade math and a whole lot of AI. I think he should be a CAI professor icel
