Honestly, There's no need to attend class. He just stands there and reads the powerpoints which is something I could do on my own. You're better off just going there for attendance and learning everything from MyStatLab. He's not the worst teacher I have had but certaintly not the best or even close.
He is very helpful. Boring as hell. He doesnt teach very well but at least tries and gives his best.
He is OK. Not the best, not the worst. Hopefully he will get more experience with time since this was his first time teaching at MDC. If you are willing to study, take him. I guarantee you will get an A
His accent is heavy but his powerpoint presentations help, make sure you go to class. You don't need to buy the book. He really tries to help, if he sees that you care.
Extremely kind and helpful. Let me start by saying he helps his students a LOT...he is willing to extend due dates, gives you homework for extra credit, and is willing to work with you. This is a hard class and you have to study, he doesnt make it harder, it is just the way the class is. I would take him again for sure
The Professor is extremely helpful and tries his best to help. Key points: print the power point presentations, get yourself a calculator and learn it's functions, do your homework and attend all classes (you will get extra credits for it). Also, put in a little effort into it... I guarantee: you might not get an A but you will pass for sure...
This professor is extremely helpful. All you have to do is keep doing the homework and of course STUDY. This is a really HARD class, however you can get an A. So, if you care about your GPA take him, study, pay attention, and you'll pass the class for sure. I took this class with other professor and I drop it after the first class.
He is very nice and he likes to help the students. The only thing that you need to do is the homework. I recommend this professor.
This professor is great! He cares a lot. He is patient. He will make you learn, which is great. He is fair. He is flexible. I respect him. You must attend every class! You must learn and study! You must do all homework! I recommend this professor- he will bring out your best. I was proud of my grade b/c I knew I had genuinely earned it.
This Professor was extremely helpful and patient. The class is very hard but he makes sure you understand the material. If you attend the classes and do your HW you will be fine.
great teacher
This professor is by far the best I've had for math courses. He is easy but helps you understand the material & isn't too harsh on grading or his tests.
Prof Aristizabal is a GREAT PROF! STA is not an easy subject and so YOU MUST STUDY. Always DO YOUR HOMEWORK! HIS TESTS ARE FROM THE HOMEWORK! He has a strong accent but he made his point across. He is always willing to help and would clarify any question you might have so, JUST ASK! If you just simply "don't get it", GET TUTORING, its free at MDC!
If you want this class to be an easy A. STUDY HARD! Prof. Aristizabal uses his homework exercises on his quizzes. All you've to do is know what you're doing. Also, he always drops the lowest grade and he is always helpful. Its simple, if you don't understand, ASK QUESTIONS! GET TUTORING! DO GROUP STUDY. WELCOME TO COLLEGE! What else you want?
Do not take this professor ! He's the worst, he reads off the powerpoint the majority of the class time. Tests are only 3-5 questions. I learned nothing from him, you have to teach yourself the material. Its not worth the risk take another professor, I wish I did.
If you want to teach yourself take this class. He is nice and tries but i dont think he knows what he is doing. Super strong accent and very little english!
He is great professor, very good teacher, and he is really nice and respectful.
Great professor! Extremely helpful and excellent teacher
He's a great professor! He makes sure he goes everything, and will answer all questions. He's very lenient. The class consists of online and in class tests, online count as 40% and in class count as 60%, so if you fail one you don't necessarily get an F. In-class tests are 2 questions long, & hw counts as extra credit! Easy A if you put in work!
Prof Aristizabal, is an excellent professor, if you put in the time you will get an A in this class. He has a strong Spanish accent, but he will repeat himself until you understand him. For his statistics class you do not need the book but you will need to get the math lab. The math lab contains the book and you can take his online tests.
Not the easiest class unless you had mgf1106 or good in math. You don't need the book, homework is on my stat lab. He tries to rush at the end if he's running out of time.
Hands down the worst professor ever. I do not understand how he has any good reviews. I took him because of the reviews and now I'm paying for it. He doesn't have a clue about the subject. If you wana fail go ahead and take him.
Professor Rodrigo is excellent! he is very helpful with everything! if you miss assignments and have a valid excuse as to why he will let you make them up. he is very clear as to what is going to be on exams , but the exams are only a 2-3 questions , if you study the slides from the lectures then you will be sure to pass. he is very helpful!
Professor Rodrigo is Awesome! he is so nice and helpful to everyone, but you have to ask him for help. he is very clear as to what will be on every test , all you have to do is study, if you don't study then you won't pass the exams so make sure to study! he does have online hw, make sure you complete them! study study study! i got an A !
The professor is extremely patient. Even though he has an accident if you don't understand he will do another example until you understand. He does teach from power points but he does the examples with you in class. He's very clear on what is going to be on the test. He is always willing to help you before or after class individually.
I had a Blended class, part online and part in-class. Although it was sometimes difficult to understand him (thick accent), he is a great teacher. He will take time to help you if you need it and is very understanding to your needs.
I suprised myself when I passed his test but for the most part the homework helped and the professor was very nice
HE IS GREAT
He helps you understand. He was very nice and helpful. Recommend him.
Goes completely off the syllabus and the quizzes are impossible.
MR. Aristizabal is a fair teacher. He will work with you if you work with him. He is big on class participation and will give ample chances to get a good grade in his class. You as a student must ask questions so you can get the best out of him. Do the homework on time and do your best to get the max points where you can.
This man is simply amazing, you will understand stats. Make sure to get a ti-83 or 84, made the work a lot more manageable. he will do all he can to help. there are 4 in class tests and a bit of online work! attendance counts but is not required so make sure you show up and you will do fine!
He is a really good math prof. Has an accent, but you get used to it and can understand lectures. Exams are only 2 or 3 questions long so you need to know your stuff. He gives formulas to be used on exams and helps you out. Overall good professor, one of the best I've encountered for math at all in college. Also, he is a fair grader. Online book.
Very helpful professor and is clear with the lecture. I failed stats twice and was lost both times I took it. But when I took it with him we I passed.
The test are a little hard because they are only a few questions, but the content its not hard. He explains everything very good and reviews a lot.
Rodrigo Aristizabal is a great Professor, he is sweet and understanding professor and has a great personality. He will give you a chance to pass the class... you will like him!
Class is easy to pass, material isn't easy. Have to study. Let's you use excel on exams so isnt hard and practice exams exactly like exams! Great teacher, give lots of extra credit!
He's a nice guy and all but lord help you when it comes to understanding his lectures he over explains too much and make simple math sounds like rocket science honestly you're better off on YouTube being your professor also he goes through the material super fast so when it comes to taking his test you will not know what you taking a test
Great professor. I will take him again.
This Professor is extremely helpful.. He is very nice and he makes sure you understand the material.
Do not take this professor unless you truly have a passion for statisitics. You will leave class extremely unexcited and bored out of your mind.
Amazing teacher. He tries his hardest to make his class as easy as possible so that everyone understands the material. Took MAT1033 three times and failed. Took this class once and passed :D
He is a great person, very nice, always trying to help but I found that the only reason I passed was because as soon as I went home I watched videos on the lessons and that's what really taught me. He lets us use excel which is essential to stats.
This professor is very sweet he tries really hard to have the students understand each chapter, it's a bit tough because of his accent. He gives homework for every chapter and its a bit tedious. We have four test in total (including the final) and for each test he gives a review that's very similar to the exam.
He is a great teacher and a better human being. He really cares for the students. He is there for you. If you do your part you will pass. I will take him again for sure!
This is the worst professor I have taken by far! He teaches all the chapters from a PowerPoint that he reads verbatim from. He doesn't do examples on the board. He has a very heavy Spanish accent so it is very hard to understand him. If you want to pass this class you pretty much have to teach yourself. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!
RUN! I took stats with him TWICE because he was the only professor that was available for my schedule. He runs the class entirely on excel. Doesn't explain stats whatsoever. If you're good with excel, take the class. I have a MAC and he did not know how to explain it to me on the MAC. He also has a heavy accent so beware. You wont pass w/o excel.
Take it! This professor is super nice and is always willing to help students to understand the subject. This class is hard because it's too much for one term but if you put your effort and with the professor's help and online practice you will be fine! In my personal experience I got a 64 in my first exam but I ended it with an A.
Professor Aristizabal is very passionate about Math, he gets excited and animated. At times he can be funny. MGF 1106 is a serious subject. He will do what he can to help you (extra credit) but you also have to help yourself and do the requirements. I really did enjoy being in his class. Take him you'll pass!
I took my class during the summer so the pace was faster. However, the professor was well prepared to teach at quicker pace. He is fair and more than willing to work with you so you can be successful and pass your course.
He ia really a good proffesor. You will learn a bunch with him. He will explain over and over until you get it.
He was a great Prof. that gave you a fair chance to pass. Extra credit offered which could put you up in a higher final grade bracket. You will not regret taking this class if you put some effort into studying the material.
I am surprised by the negative reviews STA2023 is not an easy class because of its content, professor Aristizabal does the humanly possible to make the content clear and offers support. STA its a class for which you must study, preferably read the chapter before the lecture, if you do his explanation will be more than clear & Keep up with the lab!
He has a peculiar way of explaining things, however, as long as you do the homework, show up to class, and study, he offers A LOT of extra credit and therefore you will pass. For those who rated him poorly, it's because you didn't go to class and or study. People expect to pass a college class and put no effort. Hello! Welcome to reality!
Don't be fooled by any of the comments these people post here. If this the Rodrigo Aristizabal that teaches at the Hialeah Campus... He's terrible!. Doesn't expalin good at all and leaves big load of homework that unless you don't do anything besides going to school, you will be able to finish.
The class itself requires a lot of work. We used connectmath which includes the textbook. All of the homework is online as are the tests. If you keep up with your homework and do well on the test you will pass this class. He is very helpful and although has an accent is understandable. I enjoyed his class and would take it again. Good luck!
Lots of homework but he works with you on extra credit.
If you want a teacher that cares and is willing to work with you as long as you put forth the effort? this is the teacher you need to take. Gives extra credit, makes sure you understand the material, will stay after class to go over problems until you understand them, Curves grading when you show effort, I will be taking statistics with him!
Hes okay does give a lot of homework online maybe it was just cause we had him on Saturday and his lectures were very confusing but if you do the HW and study you'll be fine
DO NOT TAKE HIM
Course is mainly off power points, so in class he just gives a very long lecture about the power points. When you try doing the homework you will have difficulty because he doesn't explain examples on how to do a problem. He seems to be very passionate about math but doesn't seem to know how to explain the subject clearly.
Good professor overall. Lots of homework but will help with the tests. Gives extra credit which is nice. Also cooperative and will help you if you have questions. The subject is difficult but if you pay attention to his lectures and are on top of the homework you will be fine. :)
Very nice and understanding, will help you out if you are engaged in the class lecture. Homework(s), quizzes and tests are on MyStatLab. StatLab is very easy to use just follow the examples. He gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit, take advantage of them & just make sure you are prepared for class & are aware of the assignment due dates
Math is not my thing but he helped students a lot by giving enough opportunities to pass and get extra credit. Not the best teacher when it comes to helping you fully understand but is very passionate about math. Not a difficult course, everything was done on mathlab.
Do not take this guy, if you have other options - Horrific!
Very caring professor. Lots of online homework and online test, but you have to do them even if the class is online. He gives you a lot of extra credit opportunity. Bad in Statistics, learn to do the exc. on EXCEL. He will teach you if you need it. It will save you time, you will need it during the test. MIDTERM AND FINAL proctored. Would taking!!!
Good instructor, he knows what he's teaching and knows how to explain it. However, he said the homework give to us online will be for extra credit. At the end of he semester he said it would be counted towards the final grade. Extra credit is available. Test are extremely hard and I'm a 3.68 gpa dual enrollment student. Study A LOT every week.
Very professional. Gives you a lot of opportunity to make up extra credit to get a good grade. Very passionate about his job. Very considerate and overall great and makes class fun and learning environment at the same time.
It was really interested course. The professor is amazing and helps a lot with understanding different relevant subjects of Statistics. Excellent class
SOOOOO MUCH HOMEWORK! I'm very serious about this took me about 4 hours a day to complete all of his assignments by the end of the semester. Midterm and final are graded heavily so if you fail them you fail the class. Don't take him!
worst professor ever , please please do not take him , hardest class ever
He's an amazing Professor and he's always more than happy to help his students. He make sure everyone pass his class no matter what, I definitely recommend him to any students.
You will NOT find a more caring and helpful professor than him. The lectures might be confusing sometimes especially for someone who isn't that good at math but he's always willing to help you by giving extra credits, reopening homework/tests and flexibility with your grade.
This guy is absolutely amazing, not only does he really care about the student but he is extremely patient and will work with the student by giving extra credit and if need he will even extend deadlines. Seriously, do not hesitate to take him. I've taken him 3 times already and he is the very best!!!
This professor is extremely amazing! A lot of work is required for this class but there are many opportunities for extra credit and he will give you enough time to finish all assignments.
This professor is a hidden gem! YES statistics is hard, but he allows you many opportunities to bring up your grade. He tends to give an overall speech about the chapter during class but most of the work is up to you to do at home online. Awesome professor, genuinely wants to help students pass. would take again and again without hesitation
He's an awweeesssommmmeeee professor I would never hesitate to take any course with him. He actually understand you as a student and takes students needs into consideration. No professor can ever compare to him. If your thinking about taking any math courses please take it with him you will not ever in life regret it!!!!!
Professor Aristizabal is an awesome man, his goal is to make sure everyone of his students pass. As long as you are willing and ready to work, he will work with you. He is very understanding and inspirational, which is why I am continuing my next MATH class (STA2023) with him. I recommend this professor to anyone who need to pass MATH class,
Just keep up with the homework soon after he explains the PowerPoints and write it all down and you will pass the tests. Study and dont fall off track too
Honestly hes a very nice old guy but he doesnt know how to teach. Hes no longer sending online work so he struggled throughout the whole semester sending us lots of unnecessary hw and hard tests that only 4 people out of a 35 class passed. He literally had to do magic st the end because no one was passing, if u want to learn hes not for you.
He is the BEST! If you do the homework and study, like you are supposed, you will pass because he makes the class VERY EASY. Test are simple and he gives a lot of chances to make up. He gives A LOT of extra credit as well. Also, if you do the homework YOU WILL PASS the tests for sure. He is very professional and a great professor. The best so far!
This class was awesome. He made everything really simple. Do homework, show up to class and you will pass. You'll have to study, but like you are supposed to do in any college class you take. He is the best.
Great professor ! I took 3 classes with him and passed with an A . He is very caring and understanding . If you do all your work , thats no way you will fail his classes . He gives extra credit and gives second chances for the online test if you miss it . But the midterm and final is one shot, but if you study and do all the homework u will pass.
I got an A on all 3 times I took his class. He is awesome and easy . He will make sure to grade fairly and reopen assignments to students that couldnt do on time. Midterms and finals are one chance only but it is mostly based on the review he gives before the tests to practice. Lots of homework but it helps with the learning process.
"Rodrigo ����He is able to make complex topics easy to digest."was extremely helpful and open to student questions in class and during office hours. He was thoughtful about material and taught and reinforced what we learned in lecture." "Rodrigo did a great job providing examples in section. More valuable than main lecture!" Very caring. ����
Great professor, makes everything look so simple. Gives a lot of second chances and extra credit. There are a lot of assignments online, but that will ensure you study and keep on track because if you do the homework, you will pass. Great professor, excellent class.
Professor Aristizabal is a great professor and a great man who is very concern of his student success. I started with this prof from MAT0029, then MGF 1106 and finally STA2023. If i have option i will take class with him again and again, he work with all his student toward their success. i recommend this professor for anyone who want to pass .
Passionate teacher. It's not an easy "A". If you put in the effort you can pass. He does what he can to help his students pass. Gives extra credit to help you. Go to class prepared with questions from homework. Would not take as blended class if you want an easy "A" or don't like math.
The class itself is hard, however the professor himself does everything that he can to help you. He's very nice and easy to talk to and very understanding. he doesn't want you to fail at all. Show up to class, ask questions, participate. I just took his class and it was hard because of the schedule but he's very helpful and gives lots of resources.
Professor Rodrigo is very caring. He understands that everyone is not the best in math and will help you understand the best way he knows how. The students that choose not to come to class, participate, or do the assignments, of course they fail. You earn your grade. This is college! If you need extra help get a tutor.
Professor Aristizabal is a great professor and a great man who is very concern of his student success. if i have opportunity i will take him again, again and again. if you need to to pass your MATH please take this man, as long as you come to class, class participation/ presentation is an extra credit for you. Prof. Aristizabal will work with you.
He is by far the most humble and caring teacher Ive ever met. Tests are mostly untimed and take-home, except for the midterm and final. Quizzes about once a week. The course does move fast and you should be able to teach yourself on occasion. If you barely passed MAC1105, I dont recommend this class. If youre decent at math and have time, do it.
