A very good instructor and easy marker
Knowledgable instructor gives you a lot of real-life examples
ok i guess, if you like that sort of thing.
boring lectures, but easy exams
Good Teacher...and willing to help
he is a good teacher. that is all u should do is concentrate in his class. if u do that, everything will be fine. not very hard exams, inculding final. anyways, good teacher! be with him!
Teaches very well and WILL answer your questions if you ask (he is very aproachable though he doesn't show it). You gotta love his math-prof dry humor. However, the tests are just FROM HELL. I wouldn't call them unfair but you gotta work for every mark.
Not helpfull... Cases are hard....
Not a bad teacher, but he likes people participate in the class and he gives the stupid vouchers for stupid questions! Anyways, Not too bad on average
Very friendly person, takes time to answer any questions you might have. Very respectable towards students.
he makes jokes on your mistake, dosen't have any patient answering your questions, plus he is always late for his office hours. Exams may be not hard but really long.
Very clear in that hes detailed and thorough on the steps and procedures. Really very clear. Good , But keep in mind, his exams are not easy. Overall: ok
he is very difficult to understand, has long exams, he teaches straight from the text and is VERY HARD. DONT TAKE HIM. also, we dont get a break if it's a 2 hr class. :(
HOW can this prof have a positive rating??? he's ALL over the place, hard to follow, unclear of what he expects from students on assignments, his tests are too long and he seems not to have a marking key that he goes by, instead randomly picking and chosing what he feels like taking off
Very bad teacher.... there's hard teachers but then there are BAD teachers... he confuses himself half the time, and takes him a buncha times till he gets his OWN examples right..his tests are also very very EXTREMELY long...
This guy is confusing he constantly makes mistakes, he keeps erasing and erasing things and his work looks so messy in class that its very difficult to read. His tests are long and he is a picky marker one slight mistake can cost you a lot on a test
he is a nice teacher and the mid-term is easy. as long as you show up, you will get a good mark. but he takes attendance.
God!Whatever u do, dont takin him! He is the worst math teacher ever!Lecture out not out of book, doesnt explain anything, doesnt reply to emails and never has the time or patience to explain anything! All his cases studies are pulled out of the ***! Nothing makes sense and has no relevance 2 anytin

Do Not Take Him... enough said
By far the best teacher I've ever had, such a nice guy, very helpful, always has gives clear explanations with very applicable expamples. I would definately recommend him, this guy's an A+ in my heart (IluvuRos)
Amazing teacher I loved him. He is very patient and clear. He's willing to wait so that he knows you are learning. He's a little soft though, but great teaching skills.
The worst teacher ever, never helpful and extremely confusing. He starts a problem, gets confused then continues with the problem then were suddely on another chapter in the book. Tests are confusing because he doesnt teach anything. His voucher system makes the class a zoo.Avoid him at all costs
The only ppl that will do good in this class are either major nerds or ppl that have no life. Mostly asian nerds are in love with this class and prof. He is the worst...and the voucher thang just hinders ur mark. Participation marks supposed to bump u up, not bring u down!
Voucher thing is sh*t. it makes the class like a circus. Only those people who dont speak english can answer his stupid question. this guy sometimes get confused by himself. anyways, does he speak english?
THE WORST!this class turned my semester into hell.The amount of work is insane cuz u spend a whole week non stop just doing one stupid case study for which he doesnt explain, doesnt answer questions, emails, inquires or even during office hours.Tests are insane and everything is as confusing as****
Very helpful, funny, and informative especially about the term project and keys to success in life. Overhead notes and explanations can be confusing. Spent a bit too much time on homework review to the point that we didn't learn everything, but we asked too many questions in return. Recommanded.
he is a grear teacher! his class is very interesting, i had a really great time in this class. Even though it's hard to tell from outside, he is a really nice guy. You can ask whatever question you have. Don't miss classess and work hard, you will get a good grade!
don't like his class. so boring!! it's better to read book than his teaching . no break in 2 hours
DO NOT GET THIS PROF!!!! first off the whole voucher thing will make u insane (lets waste an hour with the whole class arguing about it..GAH!!) second he is unclear, starts a problem and then forgets to finish it, third hes unhelpful during his office hours. the bloody man CANT TEACH!!!!!
a very likeable teacher. his teaching abilities are questionable, but at least i don't feel like throwing my waterbottle at him whenever i don't get something (like w/ parsi). Reading the text before class is very helpful. The midterm isn't that hard if you study the text and do the questions. the projects are a waste of time though
He's an easy teacher, but his teaching is not helpful at all. Just do watever he tells you to do, practise and practise,you'll be fine on the exams. Besides, all his past exams and current ones are the exact same format.Tip!Try his pastpaper/
Real nice guy, quite sensitive I think. But not a good teacher. Business math is so easy (like 8th grade algebra), but the way he taught it, anyone who doesn't know math would be confused. I just tuned out the whole time. Confuses himself constantly, half-finishing problems, doing things the wrong way, etc. Totally backwards.
Very nice person. Do what he says: Read the book before class. Do the book problems before the midterms/final. Do the problems he assigns (He doesn't collect it, but do it anyhow). The exams questions are exactly like the book problems. How hard can it be? Can't see a reason not to get a B+ at least.
A nice prof who is prepared for every class. He's not a hard marker (except for the case papers). It's highly recommended you do the text problems, and read the text. He allows a one page help sheet for midterm & final. Watch out for pop quizzes. However, this class is a LOT of work! YOU have to ASK for clarification on things. Overall, he's OK.
if you want to see a picture of him, look up tool in the dictionary
Good teacher helps clear things but is easily distracted
The worst teacher in langara I have ever met, enough said
his teaching skills are just fine. don't hate him because the problem IS: the course is hard! that's not HIS problem~ besides, he's such a nice ol' guy if you approach him
This man goes out of his way to help students-- he offers his mornings and explains things so clearly. The best math teacher anyone could ever ask for. Patient, kind and knowledgeable.
Nice guy!! Questions are from the text but picks like 10 from 200. Does only questions from text in-class or quizzes also from text(openbook). Easy marker. Gives bonus marks if u catch his mistakes in class which count on next mid/final. Let's u have cheat sheets as well which takes so much of the burden off of u. Totally recommended!! :):)
Super sweet man, very helpful! Test questions from the text, so do every question, u'll get 100%. I can see y some are annoyed with him. He's a little absent minded and easily distracted if you ask him off topic questions. But it's grade 11 math! boring by nature! Cheat sheets allowed on exams. No excuse for class average of 60%. I got 100%!
I think he's an okay prof. Hard stuff but he tries to give you extra marks if you're attentive in class. Definitely do the case papers (will pull your mark up if you do well). Fair exams...
At 1st, not sure if I liked him, but turned out to b a pretty good instructor, quite funny as well! He does tend to get distracted both by himself and the students.. lol. 1 day he will have a lengthy discussion about politics, another day he will be giving you relationship advice, haha. The students had to get him back on track. Would recommend tho
class average on the midterm was 80%... enough said. Really easy marker. Course material is hard and he doesnt really explain it that well. The stimulation exercise turns out to be actually quite fun. Would recommend him.
SUPER NICE teacher, he lets you have a cheat sheet for all midterms and final. He does go off topic sometimes but its all in good fun and just his character. Highly recommended.
Ros is a very helpful teacher and has very straight-forward tests. It's easy to get an A. The only thing that students may find difficult is understanding the material in class. Ros encourages people to ask questions and see him whenever, so there is no excuse for not doing well other than lack of motivation.
To be honest, I can not find anything that would be wrong with this guy, Hes probably one of the best profs if you are a business student because he tries to understand the student and his needs. If you bomb a midterm, he gives you a really good chance to regain the mark. Altogether,easy, understanding,and useful. Langara needs more profs like him!
He knows how to solve the math problems. But he writes very small on blackboard and his lecture is a little bit boring. He's a nice person but maybe too old to teach. It's very hard to hear his voice.
You need to pay attendion and his word wrote on the board is very small. Do a lot of exercises in class. Grade will be adjusted after looking at the class performance.
Great teacher who takes time to help students. Well organized and responds quickly to students needs. Fun course.
Pros:1cheat sheet for every test. try to understand and help students. Will adjust your average. Good inclass game for easy marks but if you lose, you lose marks! Cons:terrible explanation. Have to read long boring txt book. Worst book ever! Final is "UNTHINKABLE" Rest of the comments follows above..word limit!!!
This is a type of class where you have to be there every class for pop quiz, etc even if you don't understand a thing and have to work your way thru all by yourself. The prof is helpful but do not know how to explain! Sounds moron but you will understand what I mean once you are in this****hole. Though Ros is kind,helpful,some are not meanttoteach
WOW. that midterm was brutal... nothing compared to the one last year.. hope he scales cause everyone i talked to didnt do well. good prof he cares
Hard final. Hope he adjusts grades
EASIEST CLASS EVER!! Just looked at his notes for the midterm and final and ended up with 92%
EASY CLASS IF YOUR NOT AN IDIOT, ATTENDANCE HELPS BUT ISNT MANDATORY.. YOUR EVEN ALLOWED CHEAT SHEETS FOR TESTS GUYS & GIRLS, HOW DO YOU DO POORLY??? ALSO, NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF HW WHICH IS NICE.
Honestly the best teacher I've ever had! I'm honestly not the best in math but he's good. Cheat sheets allowed for midterms/finals! If you attend all the classes he wont fail you!
He's a good math teacher though at times he needs to be corrected in class(but you get bonus marks if you do!). He allows cheat sheets on exams and the homework assignments help boost your marks. DO YOUR HMWK! Also his mini quizzes in class are easy because you can do it with friends so attend class! No one should get lower than a C in this class.
He's one of my favourite profs here. He's very kind and really wants to help students understand concepts. You get bonus marks for correcting him in class. Midterms aren't too bad,plus you get a helpsheet. He's also a pretty good fatherly figure. People try to take advantage of him though. The only con I can think of is small writing and unclear Qs
Ros is a very nice man,but it seems this courses isn't the course he usually taught..Be careful,If you can't teach your self,and learn at home.Dont take his Math1118 class.Trust me.Espeacially you r not good at math.
This class was ridiculously easy, but not only that, Ros is DETERMINED to get you an A. He might be the nicest guy at Langara, and bonus points are given generously. He also loves to give business and life tips during class which is kind of hilarious. Too bad the content was so boringly easy. I would have paid more attention. He deserves it.
Really nice and sweet guy. Can go on tangents which can be tough to pay attention to. He also seems to have outdated views on the world which can be a bit frustrating to listen to. If you are a talented math student you do not need the textbook. If it doesn't come naturally to you I would recommend getting it.
Terrible explanation! Easy midterm but hard final! Just don't like his way of teaching. Made me sleepy. Annoying project! The material was harder in the second half of the course, but he didn't teach well and give clear explanation! Not suitable for teaching!!! You can do well if you're good at self study but you still need to take his notes.
If you can't study on your own, don't take his course. Even though i went to his office hour for many times, it is still helpless. I just don't know what is he talking about.I wish i didn't take his course.
Best prof ever. He will help YOU anyway possible to get an A. However, you do have to work for it, if your lazy then youll get a C or low B. But all his questions are from the text book so do them until you understand them!
Not an exciting class. You will need to study on your own time and do lots of examples. He will help you a lot if you require it. If you can't get a good grade you didn't really try as he allows help sheets in his exams.
He is nice!
Barely teaches during class time, he talks about his life. Always asks us to work on assignment while expecting us to know all the materials before we come to class. Allows help sheet in the exam where you can write anything there. You'll have to work hard in order to get a good grade.
I love ros but he doesn't teach well. If you like to talk and have fun he's the prof to have and if you go to him for his office hours and show him effort he will never fail you. Only problem with Ros is that he can't really teach and there's no breaks for his class. Overall though if you study hard you will get at least a B
Great teacher! very helpful and nice! He is funny which makes the lectures more engaging. Overall very good
Very nice and friendly! Always there if you need help! You can have a conversation with him about anything and he is there to help! Overall awesome!
Lectures are sometimes confusing and unclear as if he is talking to himself. Here is when the textbook is mandatory, you have to read by yourself to understand more. If you go to his office hours he is very willing to help. Only 1 midterm (easy), 1 final (hard), and 1 group project.
Ros doesn't even know what he doesn't even know. Do NOT take his class. Makes smirk remarks as if you are dumb. Super old, needs to retire asap.
Errr.... his lecturers are boring, and it is hard to follow his instructions because his voice is very low. .. good luck.
Classes are boring but if you can get through them there is an extra 10% participation. You don't learn much and have to do a lot of self-studying... 1st midterm is pretty easy take home 2nd midterm is really difficult start this way ahead of time! The final is heavily weighted and is difficult... Overall you will do okay if you put the effort in
Ros is one of the nicest teachers I have had at Langara, he genuinely cares about his students and has a unique sense of humour. Attend his class, do his practice midterms and textbook questions to study.
Best prof at Langara. Doesn't tend to reply to emails quite often, but his office hours are super helpful. He pretty much tutors you! Does daily quizzes as attendance, so as long as you pay attention in class you will do fine during the quiz. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ROS! He is super cool and very funny.
BEST PROF! I nearly failed my middle and high school math classes cause of the bad teachers. with Mr. Ros EVERYTHING CHANGED! he gave such CLEAR instructions and made everything EASIER to understand! He is super chill and inspirational as well. 100% RECOMMEND HIM!!
If you want to transfer to UBC, take other courses instead of this one plus two STAT courses. This teacher is only one who teaches this course, and honestly you cannot learn much from him. Just like others said, you need to self-study to success in this course. He is nice. However, he is extremely bad at teaching. He gave quizzes almost every class
Nice teacher, but not teach very good. Exams are slightly challenging but he will adjust everyone's final mark which is great.
Great professor! You can see he tries his best to let everyone understand the material. In this course, self-study is important because you sometimes may not understand what he is teaching. Nice guy, really helpful but exams are slightly challenging.
I give Ros a 5 star rating because he is easy marker, and gives out easy marks, his teaching is slow, and packed with mistakes in lecture, Sauder goal. Pop quizzes are done as a class so ask help from your friends 10/10 and create network of classmates to partner up and help each other later on there 1 project and 1 simulation game was tough
Only giving him 4/5 because he's a bit quiet and can be difficult to hear from the back of the room. His lectures just go over textbook questions and he gives quizzes comprised of similar questions at the end of each class. He gives bonus marks to students who catch mistakes. Just don't skip class, sit up front and take notes if you want to pass.
Rostam is truly amazing, he love teaching and he loves to engage with students,he sometimes he gives some investment cases and does them in the class which are interesting and shows how experience he is in the business world field. Pick a front seat in his class. And feel free to become friendly with him is always open to the students.
Great instructor
He is a nice person, but a horrible teacher, he doesn't teach the students and is never around to answer questions. He needs to retire..
A nice prof who will answer ur Qs multiple times if u do care. But at first, u may find it hard to follow him and self-study becomes important. As the class turns online, he cancelled a lot of things, but it means u have little chance to regain lost marks. He is a fine teacher who enjoys teaching and cherishes his students.
He's the sweetest prof out there. He genuinely wants to help you learn. That being said, online teaching isn't really his thing so it might be hard to follow along when he's teaching. He's always available for office hours. The final is slightly harder than the midterm but he gives a clear outline for both.
TAKE HIS CLASS!! He is caring the class and always gi ve us good feedback. The midterm is easy, project is not so hard but it take a lot of time to finish it, but final is hard. Overall, It is a good experience to take this class:))
Ros is a super genuine instructor who really cares about his students. His classes are easy to follow and he is willing to answer any questions. I appreciate how there are no quizzes if the whole class does their homework. The only thing about Ros is that he talks for a really long time and sometimes goes off topic but he is a great prof!
