He was the best teacher I have ever had, he is awesome. He gives you chances all the time, because he wants for all his students to pass. Just dont be absent and do your homework, and I think you will be fine, ask help from him...if you do than you will pass
He is a magnificent teacher, :) Loves to teach and loves his students. very patient, helpfull, nice, and very very very HOT! chaooouh
He is really nice and helpful. atten. is very important you have to do all the hw, and he usually gives pratice tests ahead of time, so you'll be ok in the class. He's the only proff I have ever taken that was actually good in math and helpful to the students. Take him, you won't regret it
Hes really nice and helpful. He gives practice tests before hand and usually there the same exact questions but the numbers changed. he does give a lot of hw. atten is mandatory. But he's really nice and always there to help. I've taken him for other math classes, and he's the best math prof i've ever had.
MR.ADES your thee best math teacher ever!MR.ADES is very very dedicated,helpfull,kind,generous,optimistic and patient!TAKE THIS CLASS!
GREAT TEACHER....THE WHOLE CLASS LOVED HIM SO MUCH THAT WE PETITIONED THAT HE TEACH THE NEXT CLASS SO WE COULD ALL TAKE HIM AGAIN FOR THE FOLLOWING SEMESTER!!! I WISH I CAN TAKE HIM FOR ALL OF MY MATH CLASSES FROM NOW ON!!!!!!!!!!
Prof Ades really cared if we learned and understood. He was a little scattered and sometimes late getting work and tests back to us. Graded on curve. I enjoyed the class and Mr. Ades.
takes his time and teaches. Hes not one of those mean math teachers
He is the best teacher that I have ever had. I am in the education business and He has all of the qualities that a student needs and wants. He is a teacher because he loves to teach and because he is excellent at it. I got a B in his class. The way he explains the material makes you enjoy math. I strongly suggest you joining his class. He is great!
He is the best math professor I have ever had.His expectations from students are very reasonable. I hated Math & have avoided it for years but unfortunately I need it to graduate. Choosing Professor Ades was the best thing I have ever done. I now love Math. The Professor made me confident about math. I followed all his advise & it paid off.
He teaches really fast. Sometimes doesnt know how to answer questions being asked. But otherwise he is a nice man.
The best math prof i've ever taken...he's really nice and tries his best for everybody to pass..he'll even let you redo your tests..atten. is a must but you'll pass the class... he's very helpful and you'll learn too
Great Math teacher I took him for 227 and it was fun and easy to understand the work.
He is a very friendly and helpful professor. Approachable. I hate math, but he made class bearable. Excellent stats teacher, very comprehensive lectures. he makes sure everyone understands.
Took him for statistics and got an A, very easy class but you must attend everyday and take notes! those notes give you the answers to his tests. And I agree with the comment below, he does want his students to pass. One thing about him though, no talking while he's lecturing! He gets upset when you do. I'd recommmend him!
He was very helpful and really showed effort to help students pass with clarity! I recommend him, no doubt!
He is so wonderful to all the students. He wants us all to do well. Wish I could of took more of his classes but he teaches mostly during the day. He gives out study sheet- which help.
AMAZING professor! Havent understood math since the age of twelve until now! Take him!
Great professor, he will help you understand math. Chapter test mild but if you don't learn this stuff you will choke on the final. Take my work i just took the final yesterday. I've been with professor Ades for 3 semesters and i don't regret it.
Awesome teacher. Very Kind. And knows his MATH! will help you as much as possible, but you have to do the work. Plus it helps to study in groups, so MAKE FRIENDS IN CLASS. ASAP.
Great teacher. He wants you to learn, and NEVER makes you feel stupid. Questions are welcomed. Try and you will pass. He's fairer than fair. BUT DONT TEXT and keep your phone on silent!!!
Makes math tolerable. And really understands his "audience". Changes his teaching style according to how the class learns. Very smart and cares about each student. wants everyone to learn and will go out of his way to make sure you do. AND YOU WILL!
Awesome teacher. Smart! Fun! ANd super easy to get along with. Nice and easy to talk to. Encourages questions and is helpful. Wish I could have more classes with him.
GREAT TEACHER! If you can take him ...DO IT! You'd be stupid not to. He's one of my favorites at Mission. Thanks professor Ades!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never stop teaching.
Very Understanding, Explains step-by-step, encourages questions, does private tutoring, gives extra credit, friendly, approachable, knows material and translates it in terms you get! Makes things fun! Acknowledges hard work/effort if you work! Attendance mandatory for real!!
He was the BEST math teacher I've ever had! Great human being!
This professor is great. I have so much trouble understanding math, but Ades makes it easy to understand. He is soo helpfull, and loves his job. Stats is really hard, but his class made it simple for me. Take this professor. You will pass with an A or B. I did.
professor ades is really fun and is really helpful with all the work we do and he also gives us group work so it can be easier when we do the homework for that section of that chapter.
Professor Ades is a great teacher. He is fun and knows his material. You need to do his work and show that you are interested. He curves test and drops the lowest. Overall, hes very helpful. Wonderful teacher. Take him!
Prof. Ades has got to be one of the friendliest Profs at Mission. He is clear on his expectations and being the Math hater that I am, I thought I would dread this class, but on the contrary, I actually looked forward to it! He is great!
PROFESSOR ADES IS A SMART PROFESSOR. STATISTICS ISN'T VERY INTERESTING THOUGH CLASS IS BORING AND HARD. HE TRIES TO REALLY EXPLAIN THINGS AND DUE TO THAT CLASS IS BEHIND. HW IS ASSIGNED BUT NOT COLLECTED.
He sucks as a teacher, badly.
Best Math teacher ever. Easy to get a good grade...even if you suck in Math. Awesome guy...and will help you after hours if you need it. YOu're hurting yourself if you dont take him!!!!
Professor Ades is GREAT. His teaching clarity is impeccable and his willingness to help out the class is great. Always hands out practice tests and sets up review dates a day or two before test for those who are struggling. I enjoyed the class and got an A although math has always been my struggling point. Awesome teacher.
He is the G.O.A.T.(Greatest of All Time). Nothing more, nothing less. This guy has been one the greatest teachers I have taken for Statistic I class. I highly recommend this teacher.
This guy is a good teacher recommend first impression i thought he was a joke and he walks funny but he tries to be funny which is funny but easy class just do the HW the HW helps a lot in the tests and tests are pretty easy
Professor Ades is by far the best instructor in the world ! He actually makes statistics understandable. He is clear and extremely helpful. He sincerely cares about his students ! TAKE HIS CLASS !
HE IS A REALLY GREAT MATH TEACHER AT MISSION COLLEGE. HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP THE STUDENTS. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND, ESPECIALLY IF YOU FIND MATH REALLY HARD. GREAT TEACHER, FUN, AND KINDA FUNNY :)
Great professor!! I have always struggled with math but he makes it really easy to understand and learn. He hands out practice tests that are pretty much what u will see on the test! I would recommend going to the math center and ask him questions the day of the tests!
ONE OF KIND TEACHER. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. He is amazing and really cares that all students learn and understand, doesn't leave anyone behind and is always willing to go out of his way to help his students. HW helps a lot even if you do only half. He is very friendly, patient, and cares about your grade if you care.
He is very helpful and patient. I am never had him for a class. But he helps me out in the math center. really understands math and explains it really well. Nice guy he helps me a lot very friendly great teacher.
One of the best math teachers that I've ever taken.Very helpful with the students and gave his free time to students who had problems in not solving some of their homework problems.He explains in clarity and made me enjoy math.I strongly recommend anyone to take his class.
Simply one of the best teachers I had
FANTASTIC PROFESSOR! I recommend taking him 100%. He takes the time to teach the hard material & will answer all your questions. He gives out test reviews & exams are very similar. All u need to do is show up to class, pay attention & do your HW.
Mr. Ades is the kindest, most patient instructor I have ever had since I have been a college student. He is very determined to make sure that his students comprehend the material. He even met our class on the weekend to help us in the math center. If you need statistics, you NEED Professor Ades. I got an A! Wonderful Professor.
Best professor ever . He is so caring so attentive to his students . Just keep up with your homework and you'll be fine . He truly care about your grade and is 100 % committed to helping you pass this class .
Super easy class. There are notes online that you print out and he goes over it in class. Homework is from the book. The study guide he gives before the tests is practically the test and he goes over it the day before the tests. He goes by the pace of the class and doesn't move on until there aren't anymore questions. TAKE HIM. He's super nice.
Really GREAT professor. Very straight forward and great at teaching. He moves at the classes pace and always gives a practice test before lecture exams which is basically almost identical to the exams. Honestly, he makes this class super duper easy. An A is guaranteed if you study and do your homework
Ades is a caring and kind professor who genuinely cares for his students. He is obviously passionate about what he teaches and gives clear and easy notes that help prepare you. I had him for statistics and got an easy A(and i suck at math). Just make sure you review yourself b4 the exam
By far the best math teacher I've ever had. I am so happy I got to take this class with him. He really cares for his students . He answers all your questions, and you can tell he loves what he does. Isnt an easy A, you have to go to class , do the hw, study, and youll be good. Math is my worst subject and he made it tolerable :)!
Professor Ades is caring, he wants his students to learn. He will go over a math problem if you don't understand. I recommend him.
Great Professor
Great
Professor Ades was one of the best math teachers I have had. I am not very good at math but he always encouraged me that I can get better at it. I put in alot of hard work and studying and I ended up getting an A. If your not good at math hes a great professor because he will take his time to help you and explains the math very well. I recommend :)
great professor. very fair. Professor Ades will not give up. He wants you to succeed.
I recommend all of my friends to take Ades because HE CARES! He makes sure the class understands the subject before moving on, if he sees you trying he will give you free points, is willing to extend homework, is always willing to help! If you're a PSY major you know stats is important! I managed to get an A just by studying the notes he provides!!
Ades is caring towards his students and is always willing to help and extend hw throughout the semester. He's a fair grader which helps if you aren't very good at math. If you don't do the hw you will probably struggle in his tests. I would have liked it if he made his own practice tests before exams.
Professor Ades is an amazing teacher. He is a caring person and will not continue his lecture until you "get it". He has an amazing sense of humor. in case he is reading this I say "exactly like that only different" haha
Im not very good at math but prof Ades made it possible! very caring and fun professor. His notes are given and are well instructed. All i did to get a good grade in his class was simply doing the hw because their similar to the test! i will take his again by heart beat!
He helps you if you ask. If you dedicate time on his classes, you will pass because you studied so much from his lectures(take good notes). The studying isn't hardcore, but since I wanted to overstudy it made it even easier for me to understand the class for the final. Overall be a good student, do what you must do and you will pass. Do all assignm
Great teacher he takes his time with each student and explains until you understand. Must show up to class he takes it very serious, unless it's an emergency he will understand.
If you need to take stats. take it with this professor. i thought this class would be an impossible A. he really wants you to understand. His practice tests are very helpful since it is very similar to the exam. TAKE THE CLASS you wont regret it EASY A
Do not , do not take. Worst Statistics expierince ever!! Hardest test grader ever!! Points out to who's not going to pass. Boring lecturer... Go to another school to do stats..
Dosen't give enough time to complete HW assignments. Tests every 2 weeks. Crams everything before exams. If you're bad at exams do not take.
Big no , do not take. Toughest prof ever.
Doesn't help you , lift your grade up. Big mistake I've done by taking him. Waisted the whole semester with my grade suffering cuz he wouldn't help lift up my grade. Regret not going with another teacher somewhere else.
His class was okay. I didn't enjoy going to class but it wasn't bad. He explains some things thoroughly and others not so much. Kinda loses me during lectures bc he is boring but he is nice and grades fairly as long as you are on the right track. No extra credit, grade based on tests and mystatlab. If you struggle with math I wouldn't take him.
Because of Ades, I changed my major. I was a psych major, now a bio major. He gave me the confidence to believe I can pass math, since I haven't received a B in math since the 7th grade. I plan to take him for future courses. He's is very clear on what he wants from you.
He explains the material well if you ask him to explain it. don't be ashy to ask him to repeat something because he wants you to understand the material. When you ask for feedback on your tests he tells he's very clear. Lots of notes/review. It wasn't easy but that's expected in a stats class. Would recommend if serious about passing & working hard
I really liked Professor Ades. He is great he loves to teach and wants students to learn. If you don't understand he doesn't mind finding an alternative explanation. He is clear in what he wants do your homework and practice exams and you will do just fine. I took him for the Winter and he was an absolute breeze compared to the other professors.
He wants you to pass. If you don't understand something he doesn't hesitate to review concepts step by step.
All lies below , do not take.... Or you'll waste a semester with him. He does not care about your grade.
Won't move on unless you understand. He is very caring and takes his time with each student. Best math teacher. Lots of work but worth it.
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER! i'm serious! TAKE HIM, YOU WON'T REGRET IT. If you need stats to transfer to a 4 year like me then take him, and he will help you. Don't listen to any of the comments below. Such an amazing professor. I SUCK at math, and passed him with a B. Such a blessing that their is still teachers like professor Ades.
do not take doesn't help.
BEST PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER HAVE!!!
I never thought Id have an A or B in any Marh class ever. He explained everything so well and really eased into what we were learning so that it wasnt as difficult for us. He really cares about and respects his students. He is the best professor but do not disrespect him or hell call you out in class. He makes probabilities easy. Recommend him!
Ades is truly amazing, hes so patient with you and explains everything in different ways for you to understand it, he doesnt hesitate to repeat anything. Theres 4 exams in total and your final exam(which is based on everything in the class), and if you do well on it he replaces your lowest test grade with your final exam grade and 1-2 projects.
Didn't think I would pass my first time, I had a D in the beginning of the semester and ended up with a B, so as long as you do the homework and take good notes you will pass, plus he really cares with helping you improve so definitely take advantage. You don't need the textbook since you will be using mystatlab.
Best Math/Stats teacher EVER! He truly cares about helping you understand what he's teaching. He takes his time to help everyone before moving on. He is great help with tutoring and letting you know what resources are available. His teaching method WORKS!!!! Genius and patient. Strongly recommended. I loved going to class. He is phenomenal!!
Professor Ades is exceptional. He is student focused and identifies students that are unable to grasp the information then reshape the course to fit those students' needs. He provides support to ALL students, weekend Math coverage to help you with your test, and guidance on how to succeed in each section. He is helpful and caring. Highly recommend.
such a sweet guy. cares a lot about his students. easy to understand. makes learning fun. ask questions. follow the lecture. hes a great professor to take if you struggle with math.
PLEASE TAKE PROFESSOR ADES IF YOU STRUGGLE W/ MATH! I took him for statistics and surprisingly passed. You can feel his positive energy each time you attend class. Don't get me wrong, the class can be challenging because of the subject itself, but I promise you will not find a better, more caring stats professor. Honestly so thankful for him lol.
Had him for stats and he's a really good professor. He cares about your grade and works with you to help your grade. I would take him again!
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 a real gem! you wont find anyone like him. He explains his lectures so well and he organizes his lectures so nicely for us to understand it and not feel lost. He will go over whatever you need help with until you get it. overall an awesome professor and has such a good heart. Professor Ades really cares for his students.!
If you struggle with math, this is the professor you need. Caring and patient man. Gives 1000% effort to try and help you get the problem
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.
