not a math person, work my butt off 4 a B, lots assignements, tough/long mt

Tough course but he is good at explaining things and is very patient, good guy

Try to understand the theory before attempting to do the questions

concise, well-structured notes and lectures, very approachable

very nice teacher, clever, clear. i took two secetions in his class. good handwriting. funny!:)

good teacher overall, hard midterms!

great at explaining concepts

excellent notes, great at explaining.

very clear and detailed in explinations, weekly quizzes and assignments, long midterms. very nice handwriting.

nice,approachable,notes is like a bible stick to it, A is guarranted!

best math instructor ever, great notes and examples, friendly too

very helpful but says "FOLKS" like 20 times in 10 minutes............ his exams are from his practice questions and assignments

he knows his stuff

He certainly does know his math, so he tends to be fast paced. Just be aware of mistakes he occasionally makes while working out problems on the board. Attend class, do practice problems, and approach him in his office for help, and you should do ok.

It takes a while to get on his wave, but he's a great teacher. Hard as heck, really likes to challenge you, but good. Very fair. I learned quite a bit from him.

Awesome teacher, really clear and precise notes. What are you guys talking about?...he has great english. Challenging assignments but it really prepares you for the midterms and finals.

He is great, the best Math teacher I have ever had!!! His marks are not too high but the course is a pain itself. Very clear, loves you if you interact in class and office hours. Do your assignment or you won't pass the midterms. Overall a good 9 over 10!

QUIZ is not too hard but mid-term is hard.

The best math prof I've ever had.His explanation is very CLEAR,and he is a very fair marker too.Just study his notes and do the practice questions he assigned ,and I gurantee you will do fine in all his tests.Trust me!

Like math with lots intrepretations. Nice guy and he explains the material really well.

Edgar is sometimes tough on marking, but he teaches very well. He is clear and answers all of questions. He is mostly preferred.

Edgar is a good teacher.very organized in his teching,not a good marker though!If you are about to take Stat 1124,goahead,he is the one!

Edgar is a good teacher, but his marker is insane. His fatuous marker does not know math at all.Every time I get my homework back, I complain and get up to 5 extra marks (because his marker does not know how to count)

He is a good and nice teacher. If most students did wrong on a ques. in the MT, he'll give you a chance to redo it. If you did all the hw b4 the quiz and all the practice ques. b4 the MT, you will get A easily!

He is helpful and responsible.His marker makes many mistakes.Overall,he helps students to pass,but he doesn't let you get A+.

Very organized teacher, good and tidy notes. Midterms r not very hard if you study from notes and assignments. Best math teacher at langara :)

The BEST math instructor at Langara. I LOVE math now and he made it so easy to understand. I recommend him to all my friends regularly. Thank you, Edgar!

Good teacher, passionate about his work. Takes time with students.

He doesn't looks like an instructor but he is a great teacher. clear and easy to understand. Lot better than Bures

Very helpful esp during oh, strict marker, passionate in teaching, know all his students names, nicer to girls, great teacher.

Everyone dreads Stats but he gets so excited about it I'm a bit embarrased to say he made it interesting. Clear, detailed notes, and encourages questions, has tons of office hours, etc. Possibly best teacher I've had.

I've done his course b4. It seems like it's easy and understandable at first but as time goes U'll soon find U're getting end up with some difficulties. Be careful~!!

hard test; hard marker, but lecture is good

Excellent teacher, good notes and quizzes.Fair midterms.He is very helpful and approachable.Always makes sure u understand.Love u Edgar!He is the best for stats, trust me!

Midterms and final are hard, however he gives good notes. He is very helpful; he will put midterms and homework answer keys in the library. Over all I enjoyed his teaching, althought i only got a B- for this course since I didn't study for the midterms and final properly.

Very good teacher. This course is not straight forward so it requires a lot of practice. He will help you if you show interest. Don't miss any class because some important material covered is not in the book. I definitely recommend this teacher. Mids finals w/open book. Study from his notes!

definetly go to every class (he keeps track) and you have to visit him outside of class and show that you are trying but then you will be rewarded with a higher grade, not one of the best, but not the worst either and hes better than the Eli

He was the best prof I've ever had! I've never seen a prof with such clarity and enthusiasm; he knows what he is doing, he is very keen on the subject and his notes are very helpful. Some say his tests are hard but if you go to class and listen to him, you can ace it but if your English is very poor, you may have a hard time acing the tests.

Awesome prof. Gives clear and concise notes. Very helpful and understanding. Makes learning a boring subject much more interesting. He's kind of kooky, but you appreciate it.

very good guy. knows his calculus. i learned a lot from his differential calculus class. i am now finishing up my mechanical engineering degree and i still use the concepts i've learned in his class in everyday studying.

You are a very good teacher, Edgar!

Edgar is a clear good teacher but is not very friendly.He is a hard marker too.

Edgar gives very clear and precise notes in class. He stops to make sure that everyone gets it and when he asks, "Does everybody understand?" he means it. However, he has quite high expectations and requires precise answers. Don't add aditional information to your answers if you're only partially sure it's right. Stick to a clear interpretation.

I took calc2 with him long time ago.He gave me a great deal of knowledge as well as encouraging me,and later on I did very well on more advanced calculus subjects.He is straight forward,clear and organized and camparably recommended.

he is responsible teacher, he gets patience, passion and good temper. be careful his interpretion! good explaintion is required. overall, excellent teacher!

I fell in love with his teaching during the first day, because his approach to stats is THAT clear. Very concise notes, text not needed. Stats is hard, but he teaches it well. He's rather nitpicky about wording of interpretations, but he wants you to learn. He's not the talking type, so be direct when you talk to him. Hard quizzes, fair tests.:)

If you aren't weak in english I highly recommend taking this teacher, he is VERY clear and I havn't used the book at all but only his notes. The people in my class that were weak in english seemed to get low marks but that may be for every stats course.

he's a good instructor

This teacher is a very nice guy, and he knows math very well. Learne alot from being in his class so pay attention, and very fun to be their as well even during summer time. He is very clear and fair and wants you to do well . His tests are fair, and you will learne more then enough of calc.However, he is really picky for the correct anwser fortest

I took him for stat 1181 in the summer and waited for him in the spring to take his stat 2225 course. It's worth the wait, because stat 2225 is NOT easy, but he explains it with clarity. You can succeed by studying his notes.. and reading the text a little. Edgar works really hard! He's kinda funny, makes stats more bearable.He's nice, take him!

Best statistics professor ever! His approach at explaining is super clear and easy to understand, with concise notes. Though he is a hard marker, and his midterms are hard, if you put the effort into this course, you will do decent. Make an effort to see him in his office. He's a nice guy, and even makes stats fun! DO do the assignments! Take him

I took both stat1181 & Calc1271 in this spring term. He is an excellent instructor. You shouldn't miss his lecture.

He is a very concise and clear teacher but I hate his attitude. He is a REALLY hard marker and his tests are extremely hard. For both midterms, I had trouble finishing them within the time limit even with 2 sides of help sheet for each exam. I wouldn't recommend taking him, he's just horrible.

This teacher is excellent. Clear and complete notes, lots of exercise, and good explanation. Dont miss this teacher... You will regret.

He is hard, but if you really pay attention, it is OK. And it is very good to keep asking him questions in office hours. He is crystal clear and very helpful.

Hey! If you want to take the best prof for stat, this is the guy you should first consider!!! I took his stat last term and got an A for it. His notes are super, and, do you believe, he knows all his notes in his mind!! Gosh! He is so clear, so helpful, and always willing to solve your problems.Highly recommond him.

I took my first STAT course with him and I think I made the right choice. I'm impressed that he can pull clear, concise notes out of his head and word it in a way that I can understand. For some reason, it's one of the morning classes that I don't fall asleep in. Make use of his office hours, it's there for a reason.

If you go to class, take notes, do the practice questions, and ask questions during office hours/MAC hours, it is very likely you could get an A+. He is fair and a very informative, knowledgable teacher that I would recommend to anyone.

One of the best profs at Langara by far.. He has a different marker so check your marks. Pretty stern guy but again on of the best profs at Langara. The first class I didn't really use the textbook, just his notes..

He teaches well but makes you feel dumb.

Great prof do wut he says and u will do great. Ppl who say he is bad cuz they don't work.

he s funny with his "hey folks" "hello" "anybody" in class. he s trying to make students participate more. he uses computer quite a lot , to show the graphs and zoom in. this way students get better images in their mind. he makes class esier. his tests r fair , not that diff, as long as u attend classes n do assignments.

Avoid if possible. Very inconsistent marking, and very picky marker. Refuses to give mark even if you're in the right. When you ask him in office hour, makes excuses why you don't deserve the mark.

HARD, marks hard, if you miss one important word, u're screwed. Anyhow I got a B but I worked for it. After the first few quizzes, u will know what he's looking for.

He is very helpful and always available during office ours. Doesn't mind taking time to explain things a couple of times. His explanations are very clear and he goes nice and slow over difficult parts. Definitely don't want to miss class.

Great teacher, genuinely wants you to succeed and is willing to help if you have the same goal! Taking 1173 as opposed to 1171 is a good move if algebra is your problem. Its another credit, but totally worth it!

good notes and examples; however, he's a hard marker.

Great teacher, really helpful if you stop by his office hours. Notes are really clear, and tests are fair. I didn't think he marked too hard on his tests, but the labs for the CAS portion were marked really tough.

His exams are completely unrelated to his notes. His final exam was just ridiculous and I am usually good at math. He is not a nice person. He never finishes a single example. "Let me not bother finishing this question, folks." was his most popular phrase. I would not recommend him at all.

He's interesting, so are his classes. He goes through questions very quickly, so be prepare to go to his lectures. But pay attention to any of his tests and quizes (especially midterms and finals), they are more difficult than his assignments. You can't feel he's nice when you are taking his exams.

He rocks! But it helps if you love math and enjoy problem-solving. If you don't, why are you taking this course?

very clear and helpful notes. exams are pretty much the same as paper assignments. most of the questions on the tests are from his notes but there were one or two new problems in midterms and final exam

Very nice.

His quizzes and exams are not hard, but the questions he put in the quizzes are too many. Anyway, even though you are good at math, if you can't finish a exam in a limited time, you'd better not to take his courses unless you don't want to get A+. getting A is pretty easy

The only way to get a FULL mark on question he throws at you is memorizing EVERY WORD of examples in your notes. I've warned you. And don't take his course if you don't like 'folks' word lol Overall, he is a nice guy and always willing to help you.

Nice guy, always willing to help students. Use office hours and the MAC for help, he loves it when you do :) His midterms and finals are long, he likes it when you use exact words from his notes when stating anything!! hard marker, State everything exactly like his notes

If you ever struggle in his class, PLEASE ask him for help at the MAC! He is very kind and willing to help when it is needed. I struggled until I went to the MAC & ended up doing really well 2nd half of the course. Pay close attention to things repeated in class, do the practices questions, and go over your notes thoroughly! Good luck! ( :

he's a nice teacher, but you gotta attend class cuz lts of material are in copied in class. I took it in summer and he wants u to memorize every single word in order to get full mark. He's a hard marker no doubt, but if your willing ti play the memorization game then your good to go. However, I would recommend him he is a great teacher.

difficult but no surprises. all exam questions are covered in assigned practice problems/homework. i strugged in the beginning but managed to walk out with a 90%. his lectures are excellent but again, quizzes and such are very difficult. good wakeup call for high school students.

His class is fine but you have to spend a lot of time practice in order to have a better grade. Labs and second mid-term are so hard... Good luck with that.

Good teacher, not an easy marker. If you are willing to put in a lot of time studying, you'll be ok Weekly quizzes keep you on track for the midterm. Midterms are one hour, and too long for the amount of time given. Good teacher, always willing to help. Don't buy the book, you'll have to buy statsportal which has the online book anyways.

He's a details teacher. If you are willing to put in a ton of effort, then his assignments,quizzes, and exams are easy. His notes are basically your key to success so make sure you attend class regularly and read them dilligently. Use office hours whenever things are unclear. Revising an hour a day will lead you to success.

Easy to understand. Open minded. FLEXIBLE OFFICE HOUR. His class is good to go.

Even though calculus is super boring and tough for me, Mr. Edgar really made things easier. And I didn't do well in two midterms but I managed to made it up by doing better in the final. Definitely recommend this awesome instructor.

He's willing to help, if you're willing to put in the effort. He knows you're trying if you go to his office hrs and MAC to ask him questions through out the semester, not after your 2nd midterm or before the final. He gives very detailed notes. It always help to review your notes before doing your assignments.

Edgar is the MAN. He is an excellent teacher who goes out of his way to prepare you for success. His lectures are clear, his notes outstanding, he is incredibly patient and always happy to clarify and answer questions. By far the best math professor at Langara, I highly, highly recommend him. If I could take all of my math classes with him I would.

His notes are very clear. I found that studying his notes are more helpful than the text. Do the assignments they're good practice. What he constantly repeats in class is very important to remember. And if you need help or don't understand anything ask for help ASAP because if you don't you'll just get lost. Also, learn the interpretations!

Edgar is one of the great instructor in Langara. Highly recommonded him.

Langara is known to have bad math profs but Edgar is one of the few good ones. That said you have to put A LOT of work to do well. There was way too much homework assigned and he does it to make sure you keep up but when you're taking 4 courses its too much. Offers a lot of help in his office hours and in the MAC. Also get used to the word "folks"

Edgar I really like him. Before I took Math course with him, in my whole life I hated function. But since I am with him, I followed his advise. Now I am the one really wants to learn more about functions. Take his course, learn from you heart. Read more ask more, do more exercise. You will be fine.

He's like the Mr. Hand of Langara from Fast Times at Ridgemond High, if that helps. His in-class notes are easy to follow and his tests are straightforward. getting a high grade isn't too hard, you just have to stay consistent with your work ethic. My advice for this class is the same as Edgar's: do the weekly assignments diligently!

He is a fun guy! I enjoyed his lectures, even though I am not really into stats... He is a tough marker though, but he cares about his students, so any time you need help - just go to his office to ask for extra help.
