Great prof! Is extremely clear with his lectures and gives a lot of examples. His exams are fair and not too hard to score 100% on if you study well. Very approachable and friendly.
Awesome. Anyone who struggles with math will feel a lot better after his class! Woot! So happy and chipper. Great for 8:30am. Very clear.
Was amazing! Thoroughly enjoyed his class. Recommend him - easy to learn from - clear - funny - available for help. Only class I have that I didnt need the textbook - he's that good. Tests were fair - not always easy but fair.
By far the best math prof I've had yet! He's willing to help you if you don't understand the material and he's really, really chipper at 8:30am.
What a wonderful prof!! Chedo is clear and helpful, and he provides a lot of examples. His upbeat attitude and sense of humor keep you interested in the class. The best math prof I have ever had!
Chedo is the most amazing teacher. He is very clear in his teaching and always ready to help. I would have him teach all of my classes if I could. Yay for Chedo!!!
Chedo is hilarious! He hums when he does math problems, and he's sooo enthusiastic about math. I walked in the first day and he said "Welcome to the Math Assistance Center! Come on down and join in the fun!" with this massive grin on his face. How could you not feel completely at ease after that?
I srongly suggest Chedo for Math 151. He is very enthusiastic and positive, and made the late (and long) 4:30-6:00 as enjoyable as possible. He also did a review class before each midterm which was very helpful.
Pretty good guy. Ask him to tell you about the (Christ + Christ + Christ) story.
If you struggle with math, you will enjoy Chedo. He is extremely approachable when you need help or when you would like to ask a question. BEST ONLINE NOTES WITH EXAMPLES. I would strongly recommend him.
Chedo is a great teacher. He enjoys what he does, though it is dry. But he has fun with it and it makes it easier to learn a hard subject.
Chedo is an unreal professor, Best math professor I've ever had. He is cheerful, helpful, his tests are reasonable. He has amazing notes. Everything is a plus about this guy. no negatives.
Chedo is the best math teacher!! I absolutely love going to class, he makes math fun and not boring...the material is hard but with him its actually bearable...
Best Math Teacher I've had thus far... absolute good guy
THE BEST MATH TEACHER IN THE WORLD HANDS DOWN!!!! He completely changed my views on Mathematics and made coming to class SO exciting! His enthusiasm and one-of-a-kind personality created a great learning atmosphere! I would suggest taking ANY course he teaches!!! YAY CHEDO! :)
Wonderful Prof!! He makes math fun! I also wish he could teach all my classes. Chedo's positive attitude rubs off on everyone and he is always available to help outside of class. Take good notes and study and you will have no problem with Chedo's class!
I could create a time machine in less time than it would take to find fault with Chedo's teaching. This course was extremely difficult, but I believe that Chedo made it as easy as it possibly could have been. Make sure you get this teacher if you can.
I didnt even have this prof for this class but my teacher was so bad I had to go to his website and learn from his notes...which are amazing! I wish I was in his class!
Chedo loves Math. Contrary to what that implies, he makes people who are not good at Math understand the material. He is an awesome professor, and I highly recommend him. He has an infectious spirit and is a very willing to help if a student is stuck on something. Yay Chedo! I wish I could have more courses with him...
Chedo was the first person to ever teach me math in a way that I could understand. He made it fun, easy to grasp, and was an extremely cheerful guy to boot. Thank-you SO much Chedo Barone!!!
I LOVE CHEDO
Absolutely flawless! Come to think of it, I completely forgot I had purchased the course text-book!
Chedo is an AMAZING PROF. Explains the concepts very well. Teaches you what you need to know and tests you on exactly that. Pay attention to what he teaches in class and practice that well, you will ace the course. He is also very understanding and always willing to help students.
I've never met anyone so enthusiastic about math--heck, not just math, I've never met anyone so positive about LIFE. Go Chedo!
Fantastic Professor! Very easy to follow lectures and the material is COMPLETELY applicable to the exams. He provides perfect review material for each chapter, midterm, and exam. At no point during his class did I lose track. I knew exactly what I needed to do and when, and it was all available online on the course page too. Easy to contact too
Excellent professor! The first time I really felt good about a math class. Provides easy to follow lectures, review material, and tests and assignments are more than fair. He also has a positive attitude and ends class early fairly often.
Hands down, my best prof so far at UVic. He's a great teacher, not to mention his classes are absolutely hilarious. I highly recommend this prof.
I am shocked by these good reviews. Chedo is not a good professor, at all! I would recommend switching sections!. When asked questions, he replies with some random answer that has nothing to do with what you asked. He takes weeks to hand back midterms and assignments. His office hours are conflicting. DOESN'T HELP WITH REVIEW. DONT BUY TEXTBOOK.
I was NOT impressed with this instructor. He did not make good use of class time, and often ended up finishing classes ridiculously ahead of time. ESL students, don't take this class if you have trouble reading english word problems, because that is what the midterms are. Waste of money for the time I studied. Switch to another section.
Chedo is hilarious. He also makes statistics relatively interesting, explains concepts well, and is very approachable.
Chedo's got some ballin' yellow shoes.
Not a big fan of stats but I would take another class with Chedo.
If you're like me and are completely inept at math make sure you get a class with Chedo! His notes are by far the best I've ever seen and they saved me in this class. Tests and final are straight from the notes. Super supportive during office hours. Explains concepts in an easy to understand way even if you hate the subject. The best!
Great teachers. A successor to the other professors. BOYEA
He's HOT!
He's the best math prof I've had at UVic! Would definitely take his class again!
superdeeduper
Sexy dude
CHEDO IS THE BEST! His teaching is extremely clear and straightforward. Even if you dislike stats, you will do well in his class. My favourite prof!
Extremely good lecturer, but assignments are brutal and examinations require absolute mastery of the material. Intentionally posts the most difficult examples during class (we are not math majors?!?) for no reason, just to entertain himself.
He's great. He makes STATS much much easier. He is a straight-forward type, no tricky questions on exams. If you can do the sample exams, you can do the real exams. Just one thing: you have to take a lot of notes in his class.
Chedo was great. His explanations were clear and he gives lots of useful examples. He posts practice midterms/finals so if you look at those nothing should come as a surprise. He even gives a formula sheet for some of the more hideous formulas. I definitely recommend taking his class if stats is a requirement.
Excellent teacher, good lecturer with good examples, highly recommend this teacher if you have to take stats.
The textbook for this course is not that helpful (I don't use it that much). The lectures seem drawn out at times (Maybe because it's a 1.5hr lecture), but he's really clear with the notes that he writes on the board; you don't have to guess what he is writing most of the time. Expect a lot of "good times" and "yay"s from him, gold stuff there.
Clear notes, plenty of examples, reasonable expectations. Chedo's a boss. Tests and assignments are doable without worrying about staying up all night wondering where it all went wrong. If he's teaching it and you need to take it, do yourself a favour and take his class. Definitely one of the better Math/Stats profs.
Chedo is such a wonderful, cheerful guy! His attitude in itself makes class more interesting. He's helpful in office hours too. The textbook we used was not great, but its questions were tested. If you stay on top of things, lectures are clear too. His typed up stuff is great (labs, etc). Final was okay, a little tough though!
Chedo is the best prof I have had at uvic in all four years of my study. He is so helpful, gives very fair midterms and exams and lab finals as well. Stats to begin with is hard, but he is such a good teacher every does well in his class. If you have to take stats, try and get Chedo, all the other math/stats prof suck!
Chedo was a great prof! Very enthusiastic about the material, clear notes and lots of examples. He is always extremely excited to take any questions you might have. Definitely a cool guy. Try to stay on top of the work during the semester though. I didn't and ended up doing a ton of last minute studying for all the midterms and the final!
Very organized stats teacher, makes his own notes and gives you enough time to copy them down. He also provides a lot of practice sets to do before the midterms, and if you follow his notes/do the practice the class is very manageable.
Best Prof I have ever had in university. He has a positive attitude that makes coming to class fun. Even if math isn't your best subject, put some work into this class and you will do well!
CHEDO IS THE BEST! Take STATS with Chedo and you will actually enjoy going to class. He is such a pleasant lecturer and so helpful! Do the supplemental problems to study from, and you'll do well. Says "YAY!" a lot to make class fun :)
Chedo is wonderful. He is so likable that you will even enjoy going to stats class. He takes things really slow and gives plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
Chedo is one of the best profs I've ever had. His notes are well organized and helpful. Always open to questions.Doesn't try and trick you on tests. Extremely personable! I struggle with math,but because of chedo I actually understood it this time. DEFINITELY take his class. Only downsides: no formula sheets given for tests; tests are short on time
Great prof period. He is super adorable and I love his lectures, he is willingly to help and his quizzes and assignments actually help you learn the basic concept of the whole lectures. He wasn't able to help much during midterms and finals because he was juggling UVIC and Camosun, but overall great.
If you aren't taking your course wish Chedo well your loss. He is the nicest, helpful, well prepared/organized teacher I've ever had in university. He is so cute and nice and friendly you really enjoy going to class. I highly highly highly recommend doing whatever you can to be in his class.
Cheddo is the most amazing prof that I have ever had! He makes such unenjoyable material, enjoyable! He is such a happy guy and is ALWAYS willing to help you. Just knowing he is the prof is enough motivation to go!! GO CHEDDO :)
Great prof. He was clear in his explanations and was helpful. Be sure to understand the early material because everything else pretty much is just branches from it.
He was my fave prof, if you get the chance to take his class do it!!!! He is supes adorable, and always asks "any questions or thoughts" after a few points in his lectures. Do his review questions as prep for exams (which are super easy), and you'll do fine!
Chedo had such a positive an outgoing personality. He made class very enjoyable. He was always willing to help and would explain concepts clearly. Put in some time and you'll do fine!
Great instructor! Very helpful and organized in course material. He usually gives a many chances to express your own idea, as he says in lecture " more questions more thoughts". It is definitely worthwhile to take a math 161 with him. Make sure you attend every lecture, put some effort and you can do well in this course :)!!!
He's the best, so nice, clear at explaining. Totally recommend taking stats classes with him ;)
I LOVE CHEDO! He is my favourite professor to-date. His lectures are crystal clear and there are no surprises on the midterms or finals. Do the recommended problems and understand the examples in lecture and you're set. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Chedoooo hes honestly adorable, it's so fun watching him teach. Also hes really good at making somewhat-difficult topics super easy so definitely get him if you can, this class was really easy though.
He's awesome! Super organized lecture notes, very fair and easy tests, super nice marker - loves part marks, only thing is he goes quite fast through the material which is sometimes hard to keep up with.
You won't find a more prepared teacher than this guy, I could learn all the important concepts of his course just from his projected notes and wouldn't recommend buying the textbook
Chedo is by far the sweetest man you'll meet. He is funny, and engaging, and makes Statistics seem exciting. The class isn't easy, but it is extremely fair. If you take the time to learn, you will do fine.
Chedo's excellent projected notes and positive energy is everything you need to be highly motivated for an 8:30 class. As long as you understand what is going on in the projected notes and do the practice questions, there's no reason to not do well in this course. 10/10 would take a class with Chedo again!
Chedo's enthusiasm combined with his detailed projected notes (which saves time of writing out each question and includes supporting bullets that help you understand the section) really helped me with mastering this course. He is also very helpful in office hours if you need it and will go the extra mile to make sure you really understand.
Chedo is the best profs I have ever had. I never considered myself good at math, let alone stats, and I aced his class. He made everything so easy to understand, and I just enjoyed being in his presence. Such a great guy.
He gives excellent lecture and clear explanation . Always welling to help and give warm regards every class. Provide sufficient material for preview and review. Great professor!
Best prof ever. Go to lecture, he explains everything clearly with enthusiasm. Makes sure students grasp concepts. Very accessible outside of class. Highly, highly recommend.
I found his teaching style very effective. He gave lots of group assignments so if you enjoy that I would recommend taking one of his courses.
I took this class with Chedo last spring (2016)- and oh my goodness I adore him. Makes concepts super clear to understand, and really sets it up so you succeed in the class. Such a friendly, funny, and AMAZING person. seriously. one of my favourite people ever. Keep up the equations/understand how to manipulate them through examples and you'll be g
Best Math professeur at Uvic
Chedo was the best, helped me so much and made the class so great. Sooo funny and such a great teacher. Explains hard math concepts so well its easy!
Chedo is amazing. He is a great teacher, explains complicated stats topics very well. I wish I could take more of his courses.
Great Prof and an easy marker.
Fantastic Prof. Easy midterms (85% class average for Stats260), as long as you know what you're doing - but he explains everything so well and goes through examples very similar to the midterms, so a high mark is very achievable. Also, he has amazing shoes - platforms with really cool prints.
Chedo made stat 260 somewhat bearable. He seems to care about his students and does his best to set them up for success. The midterms and final were VERY fair (easy), with no surprises at all. The online assignments set you up really well to ace the exams. He also has some rad shoes.
Chedo is by far the best prof I've ever had at Uvic. His expectations are clear, and he will never put trick questions on exams. He is always available in office hours, and is a great help. He genuinely cares for his students, and wants everyone to succeed.
Best prof I had at UVIC so far. His class was easy, funny and clear. Very helpful.
Chedo is amazing. He puts notes and practice tests online. He is super clear and nice in class. As someone else said, the practice stuff sets you up for midterms and the final with no surprises. 80% class average. Wish the class wasn't at 8:30 so I could actually go lol.
Chedo is a great prof. Explains things very clear and seems like he really likes what he does. We had an in-class assignment almost every class. Lecture notes are posted online but without answers so going to class is crucial.
Chedo is so sweet! Always in a happy mood and you can tell he really cares about his students and that he is excited about what he is teaching. The tests are very fair, and you never feel blindsided (if you go to class and put some effort in). Cannot stress enough how amazing of a prof Chedo is!
I absolutely loved Chedo!! always very upbeat and clearly explains all topics. we were given what to expect on tests, and they were all very straightforward. in-class assignments were almost every class, but doesn't matter much if you miss a few. overall would definitely take a course with him again!
This prof is amaze balls. He is very thorough and clear with his instruction, and I feel like it would be impossible not to learn the material with his learning style. I should also add that he is hilarious and makes the funniest side comments. I loved him and would totally take another class with him!
Chedo is a real gem! I recommend this course to anybody who struggles with Math as he thoroughly explains all material. Questions are welcome whenever and his answers are always very well explained.
I can say with a 100% confidence interval that Chedo is the best professor Ive ever had at UVic. It takes someone really dedicated and personable to make Statistics fun and interesting, and to motivate me to do better than I thought I could. I hope I can take more classes with Chedo after this term, hes such a great person and teacher.
Chedo is very supportive, helpful, and cares about his students. As someone who does not struggle with math, this coursewhich barely gets above Grade 6 materialwas very easy and the lectures very boring. If math isn't your thing, this is a great math course for you. If it is, expect an easy A and a lot of boredom.
Chedo is so so so caring! It's incredible. Shows up to lecture always prepared, including a few jokes up his sleeve. The course itself is stupid easy - you know EXACTLY what will be tested so getting 100% overall is VERY doable. P.S. His neon platform shoes and teddy bear chain are fabulous.
Chedo made the final stats course of my degree so easy breezy! He is beyond caring and will go out of his way to accommodate students. The lectures are very straight forward, and it is especially helpful to pre-print his note packs so you can follow along. Would highly recommend taking any course with him! He makes math and statistics fun :)
This guy is amazing! The sweetest and most down-to-earth man you'll ever meet. He has so much empathy for his students and if you approach him, he will help you. Chedo is so understanding, he has no judgement about your marks and he just wants you to do well in the course. Chedo is the epitome of a university statistics professor.
This was my second course with Chedo and I enjoyed him just as much! Chedo gives clear criteria so you know what he expects from you throughout the course. The oral computation assignment made me nervous, and he was very nice about it and allowed me to take my time answering. Definitely would recommend to anyone.
Very caring professor, and runs the class with a relaxing mood. He is able to strike a balance of engaging where you won't fall asleep but there's no awkward silence in the room. He provides empty note templates so you don't have to write long questions in class, which is really helpful in stats. Overall, very lovely, funny, and a real gem.
Chedo is by far one of my favourite professors at UVic. He kept the class engaged and had a positive attitude even during early morning lectures. This class is not too difficult if you show up and follow along with examples. His online assignments prepare you well for midterms and the final. I found doing the additional suggested problems helpful.
Chedo is by far one of the best profs I've had at UVIC! He is very thorough with his explanations and is also super helpful if you go to his office hours. Would definitely recommend taking a class with him!
Awesome prof, super caring and kind. Really knows the material and explains it well. Not hard to do well in this class if you go to the lectures and do a couple practice problems every once in a while.
Chedo is a really great prof and is very helpful. He goes through every question thoroughly in class and is always good at replying to emails and arranging times to meet up for extra help. If you go to class you should pass the class and his tests are fair as long as you study.
Chedo is for sure one of my favorite teachers! Very sweet and really knows his stuff. He's very aware of the short-comings of the text and he makes up for it by really explaining it well in class.
chedo was so nice and made his material really easy to learn. he always had other ways to explain concepts if any one was confused and the tests and assignments were usually pretty easy. I definitely recommended him for this class and just as a prof in general
By far one of the best profs I've ever had! Super nice and caring outside of class time. Will take time to explain things to you on a 1 on 1 basis. Young prof so not the typical "I have tenure" attitude. Could not recommend him enough!
Chedo is an absolute legend. His classes are very intuitive and straight-forward, he takes the time to ensure everyone understands, and he's funny on top of that. Chedo genuinely cares about his students and will go above and beyond to ensure they succeed in his class. I have a tremendous amount of respect for this man.
The best prof at uvic. No doubt about it. He actually made a STAT class fun! I'd take any course with him again. Very helpful in office hours as well.
Chedo is by far my favourite prof I have ever had at uvic in all my 3 years. He is so caring of his students and actually wants them to do well! He is not condescending like some profs are when you ask them questions one on one and will take the time to explain to you the answer for things. I would take any class he taught
I adore Chedo; he is the best professor I've had throughout university. He is fun and caring and engaging. I would protect this man with my life, as should all of you. Genuinely, this man is one of the best people I've ever met and one of my favourite people.
I absolutely adore this man!! Chedo is not only super clear in explaining his concepts, but he is incredibly kind and cares a tremendous amount about his students. He is super funny and I literally just want to be his friend. It is easy to do really well in the elementary teacher math courses with Chedo if you pay attention in class and practice.
Chedo is the kind of prof you could do shrooms with. Chedo is loved by everyone and is probably the best prof you'll get at Uvic. I love him and his dog and I want to be his friend.
Chedomir was a brilliant statistics professor. He made every concept very digestible and his lectures were never dry. I actually learned more from his 255 review than the lectures I went to for 255, simply because he explains the 'theory' behind the formulas in simple terms (rather than reading notes word for word). 10/10 highly recommend.
Solid teacher. Would recommend.
