He is seriously the best Stats professor! Super nice and really good at what he teaches. If you are having problems understanding go before class he will be in the tutoring. He also goes to review on saturdays before a test without getting paid. If you're not doing good he will pull you out on the side to talk to you about it. He is the best.

He was a nice professor and definitely cares about his students. He tries his best to explain concepts and formulas and will go over it if you don't understand. He doesn't mind questions being asked, HOWEVER, he drones on and on which makes his lectures hard to follow. He tends to skip around to make things easier, but left me feeling lost instead.

Professor Ades is by far the best instructor I ever could have selected. He was very helpful and passionate about the students comprehending the course. I will never forget when he opened the study hall on a Saturday and tutored us for 6 hours prior to final exams without pay.. Needless to say I graduated Cum Laude. LOVE HIM TAKE HIS CLASS

I searched for a good professor for statistics that I had to leave Valley and go to Mission for Professor Ades. Professor Ades is truly in the correct field. He's passionate, loves teaching, patient, will make time outside class without pay to make sure his students understand the material. Take him for stats since the subject is not easy.

Honestly, he is a really good professor and will always be there if you need help during office hours. Advice: DO the homework as you go along, I didn't and got a B because I couldn't finish it all. The homework is all online if you do it you should at least pass the class. Do not talk over him I could tell he hates that.

This was my 3rd time taking stats and I went w/Ades based on reviews and it was the best decision! he truly cares for his students and does everything possible to help you pass. Make sure you tell him when you're struggling and he will help you. Passed with an A did all assignments, studied for tests, went to tutoring=extra credit. Take him!

Professor Ades is by far the best math professor I have ever had. He keeps it simple and gives a fair amount of time to complete assignments. For a 5 unit class it feels more like 4 or 3. Highly recommend.

The best math professor ever. I've been putting off statistics for 3 years bc of how hard it is, but prof ades makes it so easy to understand. he will not move on until you understand it, will repeat multiple times and does not mind going over the problems. show up, ask questions and gurantee you will pass. coming from someone who hates math. 10/10

This class was supposed to go up to 15 chapters but he only covered 9. He would also allow students to keep asking questions over a topic he already discussed multiple times waisting class time. So he would skim through sections to compensate making you play catch up. Kept pushing back deadlines so nothing was ever due until all at once basically.

Ades is the only reason I was finally able to pass math. He teaches the material in a very easy way, will answer any questions even if its multiples times so don't be afraid to ask. I could tell he hates when people speak over him so avoid that. Do the homework as he teaches each lecture so its easier. If you try you will get an A

Professor Ades is a fantastic math teacher who truly cares about his students. His clear explanations and willingness to repeat concepts make even statistics enjoyable. Utilizing resources like unstuckstudy alongside the textbook can really boost your understanding.
