Mr. Esquivel is a great math teacher. He is more than a teacher. Always to willing to help student and gives good advise not just math every aspect of life questions.

Good teacher for every subject of math. like his good jokes.

Had to do most of the work in groups. I hate groups!

Best math instructor I've ever had. Extremelly supportive of students during his office hours.

tough subject. Tried his best to teach it. Very helpful if you try and talk to him during his office hours. Grades easy. I was lost most of the semester yet ended up with a B.

he is an awesome teacher!although it is hard to learn STATS,his great personality makes up for all the hard work you try to comprehend.i would recommend him to anyone that isn't too serious about math and just willing to have FUN during class time. plus he gives great advice about diff. universities

a lot of people didnt liek him, but i thought he was great. i did very well in his class. The key is to always come to class because he tells you exactly what to do. jsut listen and take good notes.

Easy teacher. Little to no homework at all. Does not require study for exams.

Has his own style of teaching and it works! Although, i never really understood how he grades. Sometimes he makes mistakes so youll have to pay attention.He also has group tests sometimes and it only make things worse for the people who actually study!!!!!

Great Guy! Easy! I hear a lot of people don't like him because he isn't serious. People who don't understand him about why he is so easy and unhelpful is because they are majoring in math and want to learn it correctly. He understands that most people don't like math and don't need for their majors so he makes it easy for everyone. Easy & Nice!

Math 130 is hard, but he gives you points as long as you try. It was a cool class.

He was easy and i actually learn while he lets u use your notes while taking the exams

He is easy! Take him if you are not major in math or science.

Good!

Great teacher!!!

he is nice. lecture was easy and interesting. he always talk about J Lo >"<.. i got C for each exam. but he gave me an A end up of the semester. you must to show him that you are working hard!!! he didnt take the roster sheet, but he can memorized everyone!! dont ditch too many classes!!

GOOD TEACHER .. HONEST.. JUST MAKE SURE YOU TAKE GOOD NOTES..

Good teacher who teaches the material clearly. Tests are not too long or difficult. Work hard and you will get an "A".

GREAT ! GREAT TEACHER ! U SHOULD TAKE AND NEVER AVOID HIM BECAUSE MATH 170 IS THE ONLY HIM ,

He's cool

Nothing can prepare you for Esquivel's statistics. Not even the book. You will have to learn from the mistakes you did on your tests. That is the only method I found that helped in preparing for the final. The class is easy at first, but gets very challenging towards the end. Oh and you wont survive without a TI-83 or 84.

I keep hearing about how he wasn't a good teacher. He was very helpful. Needed help he came through. It depends on the student. He went over and over problems and I personally do not think he did bad.

I think he was a good professor. He really took ownership to try and get people participating. Everyday he asked for questions and materials we were confused about. It got kind of tough toward the end but the notes and quizzes he constantly gave were helpful. I agree that he doesn't teach by the book but he's method is ALL calculator, great huh? :)

Esquivel is a unique character! It is key to pay attention to every detail in this class. He wants to see your positive progress towards the end of the class. Yes he does joke around a lot and make us feel as if his class is hell. I suck at math and I still got a B. Stats is more reason and logic compared to your typical calculus class...

He is the only easy teacher for stats, just try the test and hw show your effort on the test, he don't grade on the score, he grading on how much you showing your effort.

amazing teacher! he was clear, hilarious, and helpful.

This guy is cool. I personally hate all math. This dude made it interesting and he's got a good sense of humor. Everything is open book. Just do your home, dont leave any blanks and you'll pass. make an effort to stay after class for some clarification and he'll know you actually care. TAKE VERY GOOD NOTES, AND LOTS OF THEM.

He is a great teacher. These people were the ones sitting in the back TEXTING!!Just show up to class, do the bit of homework he gives and show up on test dates...all he asks is to try!!If you just show up you will pass with a C. He is funny and helps if you ask for it.

If you show up to every class meeting, take notes, and (here's the tricky one)PAY ATTENTION!!! there is no reason why you shouldn't get an A. He knows what he's talking about and he dumbs it down for people who are not that great in math. Exams are open book and he grades you on your progress of learning the material. In my opinion he's good teache

I toke him in the summer but everything went well. He is an awesome person and makes math fun and easy:)

He is a great teacher. I hate stats I took it 3 other times and had to drop but Mr. Esquivel walks you right through it. You have to show up and take good notes. I was so glad I took him!

This is a hard class no matter who the teacher is. I felt he didn't really teach the class that you have to take really good notes from book. His notes really dont help. He gets frustarded with the class when they dont understand.

Just do all your hw and projects and he will pass you. Also, show up everyday and show your work on the tests. I did not do very well on my tests and still got a B, because of the effort I showed.

This guy is awesome. He always walked me through any problems after class. Because its not fair to all students to be held up by any one student. This guy is real and a legit teacher. The tests are open book. He lets you use there notes. So take lots of them and be organized.Attendence is a plus cause this guy wants to see an effort. Funny Gu

as long as you show effort do the hw and show up to class you'll be fine. He doesnt really answer questions when you ask him after class is over so in that aspect your kind of on your own but he's a funny guy and does explain things during class. overall it was an ok class and i actually enjoyed taking math :)

Funny but confusing professor. Would not recommend if you don't have a firm grasp on the subject as he belittles those who asks questions. Picks favorites, so participate a lot and you're bound to get a good grade. Much of the grading is decided by him as opposed to the work shown, allows notes and book on the test, very helpful!

Good teacher, VERY CONFUSING! I love math and this class was very hard. He lets your use textbook and all of your homework and notes on the test. Participate and you will do well.

Stats can be tough, but Esquivel makes it easier. He's pretty easygoing, doesn't require a ton of homework, only as much you want to do to get the material. Don't take that as license to not do anything, because Stats is no joke. Can use notes, book and HW for tests so take good notes. Overall I would definitely recommend taking him for Stats.

lets u use book and notes on all tests including final!

He lets you use the book, notes and calculator on all the tests including the final. A students should receive an A and everyone else receives a decent grade but you HAVE to try at least. Hes observant and he takes notes on you! Do not use your phone or direct attention away from his lectures. overall I would take one of his classes again

Super funny. He's really nice once you get more into the class. Once you ask a question he explains it, all open notes, mymathlab thing sucks. Over all good class.

SUPER FUNNY AND COOL GUY. HE HAS OPEN NOTES AND BOOK ON ALL HIS TEST. CLASS IS EASY GOING AND HE IS A VERY HELPFUL. YOU HAVE HOMEWORK BUT YOU COULD USE IT ON TEST DAYS AS WELL... HE GRADES YOU ON HOW WELL GET THE WORK AND ON THE WORK YOU PUT IN...SO PUT IN THE ORK AND YOU WILL PASS!

Cool professor... Professor Ray would love to help you if u have any question. English is not my first language, I got A in the end by working hard. all you need to do is following his instruction. ALl exams is open-book, so take good notes.

This class was easy. I sometimes studied and sometimes understood the material, but I always did all of my work. Ray is a nice professor, very funny, and gives good transferring advice. I would recommend the class if you don’t like math and just want to understand the basics of statistics.

I hate math, but I did EVERYTHING ray suggested to get an A. make sure to chop it up with him to show that you care. go to tutoring and you will be fine. be specific on his tests.... thanks ray never would have transferred w out your help

Awesome Professor. Very easy to understand. Crystal clear explanations. Would definitely enroll in his courses again.

Proffesor Esquivel really cares that all his students pass. if you really want the A you have to prove that to him. His teaching skills are very adaptable only if your willing to pay attention and focus in class. Do all projects, show up to class, and take every test and youll be fine. I really recommend him to those whos struggle in STATS.

At first this class may seem really hard but honestly he is a great teacher and very considerate at times. Just make sure to show up every day to class, do ALL your homework and projects that he assigns, take ALL the tests and you will pass the class forsure!

Professor Esquivel definitely wants you to participate in his class by attending every single meet, completing ALL assignments, doing your best on the exams don't leave blanks and putting in time into attending tutoring. He's very inspirational, funny and makes class fun.

Mr. Esquivel was very specific as to what his expectations were since the beginning of the semester. Attend every class, don't be late, put in time at the math lab, do every homework assignment and try your best on all the exams. I followed his expectations, and my exam grades weren't that good, but I still walked away with a decent grade.

His lectures are helpful. Test are the usual some problems are easy some hard study the notes and calculator steps. I stressed all semester, my test scores were not the best I went to every single class lecture and did every quiz and project. I was not expecting to pass but I did. Thanks to his way of grading i'm transferring. Good luck everyone.

Ray is such a great Professor, he helped me better understand Statistics. However, pay attention to lectures or you will be lost. In class assignments are pretty easy. Tests are okay. his stories are very interesting.

If you show up and do the work you will pass. He cares a lot about you passing and transferring to a good school. Its a fun class because of his stories and jokes. Open book open notes tests and exams. Buddy quizzes too.

lectures are all over the place and you will be very confused. he wants you to pass trust me! I did terrible on all the tests and still managed to pass. I went to a lot of workshops at the MSC like he advises you to do so. do the hw and go to class! trust me you will pass if he sees you trying.

Professor Ray Esquivel, Is a person that challenges you but does care for you to pass Statistics; if you reach out to him he is there for you. He makes Stats fun I was really bad at Math but dedication, a paid tutor, and especially spending time at math lab you just won't go wrong just take notes and find a tutor that you understand is key.

Mr. Esquivel was the perfect stats professor. To begin, stats isnt an easy class, but at the end of the semester he curved your grades. He also grades on effort made by students I.e. going to tutoring, asking for help, etc. I ended the semester with an A based on effort. Most memorable professor at Rio. He and his humor are missed!
