Excellent Teacher. Patient and really works with his students. He knows his math
Mr. A is cool, he can be a little wierd at times. But he really wants you to learn and he will stay after to help you. He is also very accomidating to everyones needs. I did get frustrated with the other people in the class not respecting him. Tests were semi hard but he gives you a study guide that if you do it you will do well on the test. :)
I think he takes the whole control thing to his head. he tries to get into personal stuff if you miss a class. its none of his business.
he ' s boring
Mr. A is a cool teacher. He can be a little werid and unclear sometimes about his point but overall you can tell he really wants you to suceed and is willing to help you out as much as he can.
gives good notes, very willing to carify
Very helpful, very willing to stay after class or even meet with you before class if you need extra help understanding math concepts.
Speaks fast so listen fast. Is very concerned that his students learn the material. need more like him!
Professor Ades knows ALOT! whomever wrote the previous comment has a bad attitude! He is extremely patient and explains things well.Doesn't assign a lot of problems,tests are not a huge part of your grade. Some students in the class took advantage of him which was rude and immature-he needs to control the classroom better.
some of these comments are way too harsh!! and not an accurate reflection of Mr. Ades. he can be kind of wierd/unkept at times but he doesn't degrade you or get angry if you ask for further clarification on something; he lets you correct your tests and earn back 1/2 of the points you lost and gives a practice test. there is virtually no way 2 fail
DEFINATELY knows his subject. Really wants his students to learn and WANTS to be a better teacher. Has no accent so is easily understood. His tests are fairly easy if you study; lots of homework. By the way he dresses, think he's probably single.
I love Mr Ades, he is a really good teacher. I have always been poor at math, I am actually learning it now. He makes it easy to understand, he explains it step by step and he is very clear. He gives alot of homework but he looks at it as practice which helps me to actually do my homework when I look at it as practice.

MR. ADES IS A GREAT TEACHER. HE TAKES HIS TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. SOMETIMES LATE BUT I WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN AND RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO TAKE MATH.
A little kooky.... a bit strange, but the man loves him some math... Overall, good teacher.
Good instructor, very easy grader who really wants you to get an A. He has a stutter which can sometimes be distracting, but as the course goes on it becomes less noticeable.
Don't go with your first impression. At first I thought he was an arrogant, unkempt jerk. Luckily I was wrong. He's super nice, super helpful, and probably a little too easy with his grading. His tests were easy too (open book; EASY take home). I got an A; I probably deserved a C. Just show up to class, make him think you care, and you'll do great.
Easy, easy grader. He doesn't seem nice at first, but he really is a very compassionate instructor. He once gave our whole class candy bars just because he felt like it! It was pretty much awesome, haha.
Great teacher! Loose your first impression, he is extremely helpful and wants to help you learn. I hate math and he explained everything very well. Would take him again for Math 60 if he taught it!
work on the study guide
Do not go with your first impression. He is a fantastic teacher, yes he gives homework, but he will go above and beyond to help you with anything. I hate math, really hate it! He is a great teacher and a definate asset to AVC
Started out seeming like he had this strict syllabus, w/ a ton of hw, & like it would be a long difficult class but he ended up pushing back tests & hw due dates to give you a chance to do better & giving out study guides & going over them in class to help you do good on tests. I hated math w/ a passion but learned a lot and passed. Great teacher.
He is awesome. He loves to help you... He goes out of his way to help you. He truly cares about you and your understanding of the material. By far the sweetest teacher.
The Best teacher,keep's it real,make sure you understand,extremely helpful,the Best teacher ever,hope I have a chance to take one of his classes again.I wish we would have more teachers like him!
Great teacher, very helpful,inspires you to learn,lots of homework, always an open mind and ear if you can not catch up. I loved his class and hope to get another one, next semester.
For Calculus he literally copies EVERY definition out of the book. I dont need to watch someone copy the book onto the board for 6 hours a week when I can just read it myself at home. Doesnt use any examples and expects you to learn off the definitions? Looks like I'm learning Calculus out of a book.
i really hate math, but this professor cares & is willing to help his students. We were given a take home test and he lets us correct our mistakes on tests for some points towards our grade. I would recommend this teacher!
He is an awesome teacher. He explains everything very well. He loves his students ans wants them to all get an A. If you dont get something all you have to do is ask and he will explain it again until you understand it. People that rate him low probably dont ask questions in class. I would highly recommend him.
Took him for Math-60 and he was awesome! He goes above and beyond to make sure you understnd everypart of every assignment. He even allows a take-home mid-term! I ended up missing his final, and he let me do a make up....a take home final! He is awesome. Looks a lot like the late actor 'Peter Boyle.'
Professor A is a wonderful teacher, he explains everything and will go over any problem, he comes to class early so if you need help he is there for you. I was scared to death to take math over intersession in five weeks. He made the whole class worth while, Highly Rec.
I'm not good at math at all. Ades made it clear. He does copy directly out of the book, but it's great. He is extremely nice and will help you understand when you have a question. He writes out every step for every problem he does. He does get a little too frustrated over small things such as talking or leaving mid-class, but he is still great.
Mr. Ades is a wonderful teacher overall. Hes a great person and is VERY good at teaching. Im horrible at math but with his help and detailed notes everyday, he made me understand everything easy.
He is an execellent teacher.
Very good teacher, wants you to understand material, helps you at all hours. Uses Educo Software, so all homework and test are done on-line at home, would take him again.
great teacher!! explained in detail, i effing love math now!
He is the sweetest teacher! Always willing to help and will work with you to get that A! Keep in mind, math requires a lot of attention. Don't disregard his assignments and study study study!
I am terrible at math and always have been I was sure I was going to fail this class but Ades really helped me he even tutored me before class well anyone who wanted help. He is a excellent professor easy to talk too and funny at times. He is awesome I would definitely take him again. Oh yeah I ended up passing his class with a B.
Professor Ades is a teacher who really knows how to teach and he will help you out by providing example to solve the problem (including quick fix skill to solve the same problem), and he is very honest, righteous,encourageous and kind gentleman. If you don't choose him as your first priority, it's definitly your loss.
Although the teacher can seem a little dissorganized at times his methods helped me understand something that is a foreign language to me.
At first I was apprehensive about his style but I quickly adapted. I have never had a teacher explain math in a way I could understand, and he nailed it. If it wasn't for his instruction I would not have passed the next class. Prof. Ades will go the extra mile to make sure you succeed. I wish I could take more classes with him.
Gooood teacher, he gets a little mad when you ask for an extension on homework because that HW is all online, so if you have crappy Internet like mine that got in the way of a few assignments, be prepared! But he is a good teacher.
I love his teaching style. I hate math and I was able to pass the class because he is very helpful. He expects you to be in class so that you can learn. Gets irritated with students who play around in class. You're there to learn the material so pay attention. He also helps you out if he finds you sitting in the learning center. Great professor!
Mr. Ades is such a great teacher! He's very helpful and don't mind to repeat himself over and over again, he find different ways to explain the material if you dont get it the first time. He really cares about his students as long as they are responsible and show interest in learning. I passed without the the book.... TAKE HIM!
Most amazing teacher ever! I decided to take Dr. Marder for math 70 and I had to drop it. Next semester I'm definitely taking Mr. Ades again. He's so nice and repeats himself as many times as you need. He's even willing to teach you after class and during break time. Totally recommend him. He's one of a kind! :)
Professor Ades is an outstanding instructor. He really cares about his students, and he makes calculus easy and relatable. He assigns a lot of homework so you can learn, but it pays off. Take advantage of his office hours. I wish he taught calc 2 and calc 3! Great teacher, highly recommended!
The best Professor I've had for math! He's very clear and responds to emails quickly. He assigns a fair amount of homework.
Mr. Ades is a great instructor. His knowledge of mathematics is amazing, but don't be intimidated, he's a genuinely nice person. He assigns a lot of homework, but the problems are meant to guide you through the learning process. His tests are similar to problems covered in the homework and he gives partial credit. Show up. Work. Be Prepared.
Great professor. He definitely has your best interest at heart so asking him for help when you need it is the best thing you can do. Do your homework! Many of the test problems are either similar or identical to the homework problems.
No sugarcoating when it comes to Mr. Ades. What you see is pretty much what you get. Always ready to help if you ask, and he will make sure you thoroughly understand the question you're asking. Definitely will recommend, and take again.
He's quite the character. Super sweet guy though. Show up, take good notes, ask questions, DO HOMEWORK/STUDY GUIDE (identical problems on tests). He showed up late 98% of the time and we were behind and didn't learn all the material for 160.
Mr. Ades is a character. Not necessarily in a good way. In one semester, he canceled class four times, which no other teacher I've taken has done. He can be very unorganized and his lectures are sometimes hard to follow. He tries really hard to get his students to like him, with not much success. Just sort of an odd guy.
He is a great professor! He really cares about his students passing and will definitely help you throughout the class. Lots of online homework make sure to do it! Tests were tough for me but he goes over them so you understand.
Sweetest and sensitive guy. Take notes though! he's very compassionate about his students and gives you chances to get your grade up. Do the work and you'll pass. The study guides ARE the tests. Stats is not your average math class and it isn't the most easiest class either. Put in the work and you'll pass. DON'T BUY THE BOOK. Everything is online.
Mr. Ades is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I hadn't been in a math class in over fifteen years and he made sure I understood everything, and would even talk to me after class to make sure I knew everything that was covered that day. Take a lot of notes, do the homework, and put your phone away. Tests are based off the study guide.
I passed this class, but I don't feel like I learned anything from him. His lectures were all over the place and he was very disorganized and tended to cancel class without warning. He messed up questions on almost every test we took, but he gave us all extra credit to make up for it. He's really nice though.
Beyond one of the best professor i've ever had in AVC ! He is really understanding and has patients with his students. Pay attention to his lectures and do the homework !! He does give out study guide for the exams which are nearly examples of what is going to be on the test so practice! 3 exams and 1 final NO textbook required
Professor Ades was a great teacher! He made it easy for me and gave good notes along with a great study guide. He's very caring and explains the material good.
Mr Ades is one of the most caring instructors I have ever encountered. He takes the time to break down complex subjects into simple terms and always answers the questions, no matter how dumb they may be. He makes sure to keep the class together on board before moving to the next topic. His exam reviews are very thorough. There are no surprises.
Loved how the professor taught easy to understand
Amazing professor! Very caring about his students. He truly does not mind going over a certain problem 10 times until everyone understands it. He's very clear about what is going to be on the tests. Enjoyed his lectures, he made statistics fun to learn. Loved this professor. I give him an A+
Really good class. Didnt expect to get the material down so easy which is crazy since Im working every day of the week I did not think I would have time to study but he made his lectures is to understand and the test were similar to his study guide. I would recommend him if anyone just wanted to pass math 115 just dont fall behind.
Professor Ades is the BEST teaches AVC college has! He is the most genuine professor I've ever taken. I am horrible at math and I was so afraid of taking this stats class but he made it so easy to understand. He shows different ways of learning the material that the textbook doesn't show. He'll answer any questions you have. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
He's one of the best professors at AVC he's great at explaining and is very helpful
Ades is a real cool dude. He cares a lot about his students, he was very patient with me and always helped when I needed it. Show up to class everyday and ask questions!!!!!
Professor Ades is one of the best out there! The way he explains the material is so awesome he really cares & wants you to understand math. I had a very difficult time with math & he made it to where it was easy for me to understand it. Attendance is on you but lectures are so important for the test, & he does a really excellent job, & respected.
I was extremely worried about taking a stats class after not taking a math class for years but Mr. Ades went through the course in great detail and explained everything clearly. He's a very calm and sweet teacher and I'm happy I took his class!
I took statistics with Professor Ades, he is very empathetic with every one of his students and consistently asks if anyone needs help. Professor Ades is very approachable and cares about his students; he has a very sharp mind and gives great advice about many things. If you're considering taking a course with him I 100% recommend him!
Professor Ades was one of the best math teachers I have seen on AVC campus this far. Its literally an easy A. He is very charismatic. Long as you show up and pay attention youll pass his test on average, anyone who doesnt is an outlier. 1 is just like 2 but different right? Lol. ;)
A natural at teaching. Breaks problems down to the smallest detail and keeps it simple without being monotonous. Very lenient on HW, but necessary to do them to keep up. Reviews concepts 3 or 4 times or more if anyone asks. Genuinely kind and very patient. Tests are short, 10-16 questions and may grade on curve. A rare talent in academia, take him!
He's a great Professor really ,I actually learned and Math is not my best. He makes sure you get it before moving on and helps you so much you actually leave his class wanting to take more Math classes. You want to learn and pass take him I wish I would have taken him before.
Prof Ades is a real gem! He was the sweetest professor I've had in a while, he made the class very understanding and wouldn't stop until you understand! Definitely would recommend him to anyone!
Professor Ades is really caring, but he is really disorganized and shows up late to class everyday. Explains well, but make sure to not lose focus because you can miss so much. Does not like when students use their phones in class.
Ades tries really hard and genuinely cares about his students. He is very personable, although extremely quirky. He will take the time to explain, but can be condescending. That being said, I would never take his class again. He is always late, cancels class without notice, takes months to grade exams, and does not follow his syllabus. Good luck.
Professor Ades was soo AMAZING! Literally the best teacher Ive ever had in all my years of schooling. Would definitely recommend. Ive hated math my entire life and was 100% sure I would leave his class with a C but instead left with a high A. He explains the material with great detail and leaves noone behind. Highly recommended!!!
Professor Ades is a great professor, he is caring, very smart, knowledgeable with the material. The lectures are very clear and you really learn. There is three test in total. You should do good if you attend class, communicate with Mr. Ades if you are having trouble, very understanding. Highly recommended. We made study group and we all did great
Prof. Ades gives amazing and easy to understand lectures. He stops for students that are struggling to help them. He gives out study guides, some homework but don't buy the text book. Tests are easy so long as you do your study guides. If you fail 1 out of the 3 tests, he changes the lowest score to the highest among the three. Favorite prof by far
If you suck at math take this teacher!!! He is amaze balls!!He makes math simple to understand! He gives extra credit as LONG as YOU TRY! Homework is ONLINE through MyMathLab. It runs you roughly $105 ish & comes with STAT CRUNCH! He gives homework to turn in and is very understanding. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you want to learn show up!
If you suck at math take this teacher!!! He is amaze balls! He makes math simple to understand! He gives extra credit as LONG as YOU TRY. Homework is based ONLINE through MyMathLab.

This statistics class is known to be a difficult class with a lot of formula and calculations, but Prof. Ades made it easier and super enjoying. I never got bored in his class at all. It was always an interesting class for me. I learned a lot in this class that helps me now in other areas of study and work related graph interpretations.
He explains everything so you understand it. Super easy with him. I was nervous I wasnt going to understand statistics but that changed after the first day! Do the homework, ask questions if you dont understand, and hell gladly take time to help you! Thanks Professor!
Great teacher. He really doesnt let anyone get behind in his class. Very flexible as long as youre willing to put in the effort. He definitely goes the extra mile to make sure his students are comprehending the material. I definitely suggest taking his course.
I have never been good at math and dreaded this class, I put it off for years because I was not looking forward to it at all! Professor Ades was so patient and willing to go over things until everyone in the class understood. He doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions or for verbalizing that you don't understand something. Simply amazing!
Professor Ades simplifies stats so that you have a thorough understanding behind everything. We had to transition to online due to COVID-19. He will take as much time as you need to make sure that you understand the material. He has homework for each chapter and the exam review and study guide are just like the exams. If you questions ask him!
I didnt know a thing about statistics going into this course. But Professor Ades showed me just what a great teacher can really do for you. Hes helpful, funny, and great at explaining the material. Any questions on that? Will be his catch phrase, and I encourage you to ask all you can because he will be happy to go over things multiple times!
Professor Ades is AWESOME!!! He is the best professor I have EVER had he is hilarious and very easy to talk to. This man truly cares about his students succeeding. Going into the class I knew nothing about statistics but he makes it easy to understand he asks multiple times for feedback or any questions you might have.
Ok, hands down this man is an amazing professor. He goes far beyond to help. Theres is not many teachers like him left, particularly in his department (Math). This guy just annihilated my anxiety and fears. He goes over and over the subject til you get it. He is perfect for those that struggle with math.
What can i say professor Ades truly takes the icing on the cake. He cares so much and has the most genuine heart for his students. He explains everything so well for you to understand. He doesn't cover certain sections bc he admits its not important, he sticks to whats important and explains soooo amazing! absolutely a gem! Going to miss him!
hasn't put my grade in but regardless, he made this hectic semester amazing. so caring, encourages questions, throws in light humor, such a sweet professor. homework and tests were easy, just pay attention. I haven't enjoyed a math class in my entire life until his. 100/10 def recommend him, I now understand statistics! wish the best for him !!
I've always hated math so I dreaded this class but he was amazing! I took him over the summer 2020 and he's such a nice, caring teacher! I understood everything because of how he would teach. For every chapter, there are about 10-15 questions for HW, 3 exams, and a couple of discussions. If you pay attention and do your HW you can pass with an A.
I took Statistics in the summer, and hes easily my favorite Professor at AVC. I had to retake it with a hard professor b4 him, and Im so glad I took his class. He doesnt make you feel stupid for asking a question, and will help you until you get it. Hes very thorough with explaining things. Attend every lecture and youll pass easily.
Professor Ades is truly an amazing teacher. Ive taken other math classes multiple times and had a hard time passing. Hes so patient, thorough, and caring when it comes to his student's. Never made you feel dumb or like a bother asking for more clarification. Listen to lecture, ask questions, study for those exams, and youll most likely pass.
Really awesome class, love Professor Ades!
I was scared to take Statistics, but Professor Ades made it so easy to understand and was very helpful when I was having trouble understanding the material.
PRofessor Ades is the best math professor ever!! He makes everything so easy to understand. He makes statistics an easy class. He really cares if u understand.
I have always struggled with math and would get Cs or lower. Professor Ades is a gem! He makes math so much easier to understand I have taken stats with another teacher before and didnt pass I took Professor Ades and 10/10 recommended he truly cares and is always willing to help with no hesitation!!
I hate math more than I hate most anything else in the world. Professor Ades made learning math fun and easy. He used real world examples and what I learned from his class has helped me with the math in Econ and Chem. He takes the time to help you understand. If you show up, pay attention, and participate you will easily get an A.
Statistics with Professor Ades went well for me. He gave multiple real life examples which helped with my understanding. He provides a free online textbook. Also, the tests are on paper and you are given about the whole class period to complete them. I thought they were fairly simple, as what we do on the study guide we do on the test. I recommend!
Before this class, I have NEVER passed any math class with an A. This was the easiest class ever taken. He is caring, will always help no matter what, and is understanding. He knows what he's talking about. His lectures are great. Tests and quizzes are super easy and based on EXACTLY what we learned. I wish nothing but the best for him in life.
If you need a stats class take his class. Hands down the best math class i've taken in my life, pay attention, take notes and try to understand, you'll pass easily. Homework is easy to do if you attend lectures, exams are passable if you payed attention.
With all due respect, if you're looking for a class that puts you to sleep, take Professor Ades. The work is so easy, yet he goes out of his way to over-simplify and over-exaggerate everything. While his work is very simple, this two hour class is a snooze fest. He occasionally makes odd comments and is just overall a character.
He's the best professor! He helped me a lot and explained math in a way I could understand. For Deaf or OSD students, I highly recommend taking Math 115 with him. He respects accommodations and makes sure you don't feel left out. Very supportive and understanding teacher.
