AMAZING PROF!! He comes to class every day with a smile on, and you cant help but catch it. Hes a funny guy and really excited to teach. He explains concepts extremely well. There we 2 assignments due a week but those help to understand material all semester long. Easy markers. Easy tests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

HUGO RULES!!! Awesome prof, a true coach. I would take another course from him in a heartbeat!

He told us that comments in this site are biased, but I just want to point out that Hugo is the best teacher I've ever had in my life. He is passionate about what he does, has thorough knowledge of the subject and explains it very well. He really cares about his students is a fair grader and a compassonate man. Take a course with him at all costs!!

amazing prof, always smiling and always happy - he makes the class easy to come to - numerous assignments but they are very helpful in the long run. great prof, reccommended without a doubt

BEST PROF EVER! so funny to listen to and he is so clear

Hugo is the best prof I've ever had! I struggle with math and statistics but he made it very clear.I ended up doing very well. Always in a good mood, extremely funny, makes class enjoyable. TAKE THIS CLASS FROM HIM, HE IS THE BEST!!

Best prof ever. Easy class to begin with and he makes it easier.

BEST PROF EVER! Makes this class extrememly easy. He assigns a lot of assignments but they are very useful to understand the material and study. Always willing to help, will bend over backwards for you. Take a class with him, you won't regret it!

Hugo is an incredibly good prof! So easy to talk to, so helpful and considerate. Unlike many others, he really cares about his students, his smile is contagious and his classes are so fun and helpful, I like them very much and I'm sure many others too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

UNREAL PROF!! always smiling and full of enthusiasm, his lectures are easy to understand and he doesn't waste time on theoretical trash, straight to the point, extremely helpful outside of class with website and office hours. A lot of course work, but it is VERY helpful to learn. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Great prof, very enthusiastic about teaching. His notes are very thorough and he explains concepts outside of the course to help gain a better understanding. He also makes good use of UR courses. Highly recommend him for any math or stats courses.

This class seemed challenging at first but he really breaks it down. Pay attention after the midterm cuz the final is long and all material is covered. The guy never stops smiling and is so enthusiastic, he lives for math. I'm taking STATS with him now and its great. Definitely would recommend this professor for any math or stats class. HUGO FTW!

good prof.

Amazing prof. His lectures and explanations are really good and he really helps you to understand the concepts. His midterms and final were very easy.

Hugo is a dedicated instructor. He knows his stuff, and he is willing to go above and beyond to help you. This course was extremely hard, but with Hugo instructing it, it seemed easier. Take Hugo if you are taking this class, you won't regret it.

Best math professor I've ever worked with so far. His lecture is simply amazing, he doesn't only give lectures from the text book but also show us plenty of tricks and tips to solve the problems. MATH 217 isn't an easy course but he makes it looks so simple.

Honestly my favourite teacher I've ever had at the U of R! Really cares about his students and is very funny and positive

Math can be a pretty dry subject but Hugo keeps it interesting which is pretty rare to find. His high energy approach to lectures, availability and compassion for students and friendly nature makes him a fantastic teacher.

whoever said stat 160 was harder than 4th year "science" classes must have been a psych major, can't imagine what other discipline that's possible in. good prof

I've always hated math. My entire life I failed everything about math. I took this same class with liviu mare, and failed it. It was a huge shock and I needed this credit. So I took hugo's class. Seriously everyone. He is the BEST teacher Ive everhad!! He makes it so fun and he answers your questions respecfully and clearly. Please take his class!

Taking stats160 I was super nervous but Hugo made the class SUPER enjoyable! He is always in a great mood and it's clear he loves what he does!! If you are planning to take one of his classes I would recommend buying the textbook as all the assignments he gives out have at least one or two questions from the textbook.

Always smiling! This guy has an endearing attitude and in class he's always wildly enthusiastic about what he's teaching. Hugo goes the extra mile and the way he gives step-by-step explanations is really outstanding! Come to class with your full attention and you will do great! Would definetely take his class again!

Hugo is a wonderful professor! You can tell he is very passionate when teaching. He cares for his students and genuinely wants them to do well. His lecture notes are really clear, logical, and helpful. His assignments and midterms were pretty easy if you payed attention.

Hugo is absolutely an amazing person and teacher. He is very thorough and organized when it comes to teaching his lecture. Take his class if possible.

Amazing Prof! he doesn't stand for cheating and he cares about your success if you care about it yourself. his marking and expectations are clear and he's always smiling. Hugo's willing to explain things in different ways and encourages questions.

I hate math because it's so hard. But he makes knowledge to be easily understand. He's a nice person and a great lecturer! If you finish all homework he post, you will get a satisfactory grade.

He cares about his students a lot, hed do anything to make sure his students understand the topic and help them step by step, even calculator steps, if you fail the midterm.. hell help you make it up, but you have to work for it!

Excellent prof, honestly want to see everyone succeed and put effort and enthusiasm into his teaching. Stats 289 was kind of hard, but he is remarkable at explain. A great guy all around

Hugo is great at explaining and extremely patient. He cares a lot about the students and will address concerns you have/ hear you out. He's always super happy too, makes it hard to dislike him. Assignments were the toughest part, they really make you think and take time. Only complaint I have is I wish he was more on top of organizing the class.

Hugo was an amazing prof, he made things easy to understand and was willing to answer any questions. The only thing I had trouble with was the assignments, which sometimes had some questions that weren't really discussed in class. Also, I felt like he could've given a bit more time to do the homeworks but other than that he's a great prof

His lectures were not boring at all and made the class enjoyable. Vector Calculus is hard but Hugo makes it a bit less stressful on his students. He goes slow in lectures so it is not hard to keep up. He is a very funny man and I would 100% take another math class with him

Attendance is NOT mandatory in this class. Weekly homework assignment & quizzes which are fairly standard with the course material. Save yourself time, do not attend the classes & study on your own. Midterms are worth 35% each, or you can take your top midterm mark & the final. Final is not mandatory if you prefer midterm marks.

Hugo is very caring prof and very good at his job. His classes are intense and you will work very hard to earn your grade, and learn a lot ! He will also be hard marker at times. However you can get through if you try. If you want a high mark you will really have to work for it. Dont skip classes. Assignments, Quiz and Problems every week are A LOT

Hugo uses examples for almost all of his lectures and is very open to any questions. Attendance is highly recommended as his lectures are super useful. Office hours are very very useful and he will gladly help with homework questions or explain things further if you take the time to visit his office hours.

Professor Ordonez is the best math instructor in UofR. Took 2 of his course and it was a great learning experience! ����

you have to work hard to keep up the pace with him. complete your notes daily practice questions preferred to get good marks overall, my experience was goooooood

Hugo was a great prof! He was very enthusiastic and explained topics well. He was readily available for help and wanted everyone to succeed. There were weekly assignments and quizzes which I found helpful for studying. As long as you attend class, do plenty of practice problems and ask questions, you should do really well in this course!

Excellent professor, of course, the assignments are a little bit tough but the exams will have similar questions as discussed in class and assignments. He cares a lot about the students and has office hours for any problem.

Amazing Prof, very helpful and respectful. You will be fine if keep attending classes and working on homeworks. Tests were closed book, long but not hard. Recommended.

Amazing prof! Explained concepts well, was very knowledgeable, and very approachable!

Lots of optional practice questions so u could be sure u knew what u were doing for the quizzes assignments midterms and final, prof explained in class very well and notes aren't posted so go to class. Caring prof, had lots of convenient office hours and was eager to answer questions. The class takes effort but it is very possible to do well! :)

Hugo is AMAZING! he knows what he's talking about, has tons of office hours (both online and in-person), and is open to questions and feedback. midterms and quizzes were fair. lots of homework assignments though. overall, an incredible prof that wants you to succeed.

Knowledgeable about the subject and wants all students to succeed. Clearly outlined everything that was to be tested and taught the concepts in the course really well with very detailed examples of everything we did. Always available to help, a great professor.

He is a great prof all around. I would recommend taking him as he is a very hardworking and helpful prof. His notes and examples prepare you for the midterm + final well. He is also available to help you out if you need it.

Happy guy and good professor. Disregard the comment about him not giving notes and not helping. He was literally available at 9pm for office hours. If you can study, you will do fine.

Very passionate and also a very nice human being. Idk what went on in 217 for his ratings. Most of the people in 111 who struggled didn't put in effort or didn't show up to class. Quizzes and first midterm very easy, second midterm a little tougher, and the final was pretty tough (but was written by multiple profs). If you work hard I recommend.

Always smiling, and always available for office hours. Also makes the class interesting, as well as keeping the tests manageable. Any questions will be answered, and he cares about his students even though he teaches 8 courses this semester. Great prof for Math 111, and you will learn all the material to be prepared for future courses.

The exams are incredibly easy, he lets you bring in a cheat sheet (both the midterm AND final) and they are HEAVILY based on the practice exams he posts (seriously, DO THEM and you'll thank me). Beware however that this course uses proctortrak for some online quizzes and webwork. Textbook was free and he's pretty enthusiastic about statistics.

Best Stats prof by far. Has so many 'learner hours' in person and on zoom. Make sure to stay on top of homework assignments and quizzes (quizzes on proctor!). It is clear that he loves his job and will make the course very fun to learn. Do the practice exams and you will do so well.

Hugo was very thorough in his teaching and quizzes/midterm were fair. His quizzes are proctored but they are reasonable and he gives lots of time to complete them. He is very enthusiastic and returns grades in a week or less. I would take classes with Hugo again.

Hugo is very knowledgeable about statistics. His lectures were engaging, and it is evident that he puts a lot of work into class plans. Class was always timely. He had many learner hours throughout the week, which included before/after class, on zoom in evenings, or by appointment - all very helpful and appreciated.

Hugo provides open office hours thrice a week on zoom and in person, provided clear instructions on reviewing materials and what will be given in midterms/finals. Webwork homework are a lot and time consuming, but the midterms follow exactly that. Answered every question whenever he can and was lenient in grading.

He was an amazing teacher! He writes on the board and always stops and make sure everyone is understanding the subject. He teaches you things in an easy way to understand. He is really great and quizzes and midterms were very straightforward.

Provided well-thought out lectures and clarified when needed. Midterms were very fair if you prepared. He also provided scans of the textbook and a thorough overview of topics that would be covered on exams. Super available and easy to reach. Clearly passionate about this topic. Attending lectures is definitely important. Would take him again!
