Best teacher in the world. I don't know how anyone can say he is not helpful. He MAKES sure in every class that everyone is understanding the material. Nicest guy ever also! He was the only stats teacher that gave students individual handouts in every lecture!

Rochon is a great prof, he makes sure his students understand wht he is explaining. Although his exams are not easy but as long as u attend all his classes u will be working towards an A.

Although everyone thinks he's a good prof, his tests are nothing like what he teaches in class, mainly because he babies you. Also, he wastes so much of his time going over simple things when he could be using his excellent teaching skills to teach on a more profound level. He gives you a false sense of hope.

Started attending Rochon's lectures after midterm and wished I was enrolled in his section. HIGHLY recommend to take stats ONLY with Rochon. With Hassan - get a tutor and be prepared to learn it yourself ways - TEXTBOOK is USELESS.

Amazing professor! Probably the best professor i've ever had at York. 100% recommend taking his class for ADMS2320. Makes the class engaging and ensures that everyone understands the content. Helps make a difficult course into a very easy one. If you have to take ADMS 2320, it's so worth taking it with him, you won't regret it.

Amazing professor but a bit of a tough grader as the course is meant to simulate a real survey and study. Lots of feedback to help you and your group improve.

Great prof. Makes a hard course very doable. I could have done better had I studied more but that's on me.

Really great at teaching, and keeping classes attention for 3 hours, and teaches how every class should be taught. Good at teaching actual practical examples of the learned material. Very good at simplifying initially difficult concepts.

He is one of the most nicest, smartest, and down-earth to professors you'll ever meet at York. He is so passionate about business statistics that it's like he lives and breathes the course. That's why he is so good at teaching it. He ensures that we all understand the course concepts by asking us if we do before moving on. He wants us to succeed.

He has 2 goals. To ensure every student understands every concept, and to include some insight on how the concepts pertain to the real-world environment. If you're a beginner/ novice in quantitative studies, he's probably the best instructor you'll come across. He makes complex stuff look simple and doesn't make you feel foolish asking questions.
