Professor Baruch is the best professor at Pace if you actually want to learn something. I do not know where I would be without his help. Going to his office hours will not only help you pass the test but when he sees you trying he will help your grade too. Take his class if you actually want to learn!

Math is my worst subject, Stats in 2 weeks during the summer was the hardest class Ive ever taken. It was painful I got migrants. BUT, He explains everything so well.

Baruch is one of the best, if not the best, professors at Pace. Any class you take with him is going to be interesting and useful. The material is rarely easy, but he finds a way to explain it to anybody, who works and asks the questions. His tests are tough, but reasonable when you study. His classes get full really fast, be aware of that.

Baruch's lectures were very clear, and he gave great examples and review sheets. Go to the lectures b/c there's no textbook. He has a different personality, so it's sometimes hard to read him. If you participate a lot or sit in the front, he'll pick on you to answer q's (which is sometimes uncomfortable). I'm a math person, so this class was easy

The material is tough, I'm not gonna lie. But he is an excellent teacher. You have to pay attention in class, he does tend to go fast. His exams are identical to the practice exams. The math itself isn't hard, you just have to know when to use what equation/method and what it means. He can be very monotone and boring, but he's efficient.

Took his 240 and 234, and got A. To be honest, he is doing ok at teaching math but terrible at economics. His lectures are not organized and do not help for about half Econlab homework( for 234 only). Exams are not hard but you have to study for them.

Prof Baruch is the most knowledgable professor in statistics at Pace. He is super passionate about his job, and explains everything very well. There isn't much hw (6 assignments due online at the end of the semester), but the tests are very content heavy and difficult. As long as you listen in class, he will prepare you for everything you need.

He taught calc 2 better than how I learned it in high school! He gave us great application practice problems, and they were similar to the tests. And his lectures are easy to understand. I admired how he explained the theory behind concepts in calc 2 and differentials very well (which I feel many math teachers/professors don't do). Just go to class
