Have him for business statistics and he is one of the most helpful teachers out there. He'll walk you through questions step by step, answer emails very quickly and do whatever it takes you help you. GPA BOOSTER.
Goes so far out of his way to help you it's ridiculous. E-mails everyday, all of his things are online so you can't lose anything. Will go over and over something until everyone gets it. Tries really hard to get everyone to understand. Take him forsure.
TAKE HIM!!! He is a funny guy who goes out of his way to help you. He will do ANYTHING you need to help you pass. He emails you almost daily and posts everything you do online. If you need to take statistics take it with him. He does his best to make a boring course fun.
Unbelievable teacher! Probably the best teacher in the 3 years I've been going to school. He goes out of his way to make sure you understand. Funny, easy going, tests are easy. All around, he's is a great person. One of the few profs that genuinely cares about his students. If you are taking stats, take it with Peplow! You will get a great mark!
By far the best prof I have EVER HAD here, and I am in my fifth year! He is there to make sure you succeed, always available for help, answers emails quickly. Will explain things to you whenever and however you need. Tries to make it interesting, and has fun with it. Lots of resources to help you. AMAZING PROF. TAKE HIS CLASS
He is the greatest teacher I ever had. Makes the class environment fun and is really helpful. He even helps you out in quizes and mid-terms. He wants everyone to be perfect in his class. I will recommend this teacher to everone whoever is taking this course. I wish he teaches other courses.
He is a GREAT teacher. Business Stats 1230 is supposedly hard class and he made the class as easy as possible (not going to say why, take his class and see). Attendance isn't manditory because he posts all lectures and assigments on the course website. For exams, I studied the night before and got 80%. Didn't even buy the textbook. GPA BOOSTER!!!!!
OMG, i never had a teacher who puts so much effort into helping students,it's crazy:=) he really cares and wants everyone to do really good.The course is boring but he tries so hard to make it interesting.Take him, he is very nice.he even doesn't mind you critiquing him either.Got a sense of humor too.it's too bad he doesn't teach other acct cours
On the first day of class he told us not to even bother buying the textbook. You really don't need it with the way Stephen teaches Stats. I would definitely recommend him. Best prof I've had at Kwantlen
Stephen is a really good guy, he goes over all the concept in great detail. The best Stats teacher for anyone taking entry level stats or math classes. I had him for Stats,i had to work hard tho in class, he allows for cheat sheets, but he teaches so well that one barley uses them for the exam. i got 98 on his first exam. HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommended
Very helpful and useful teacher. Super easy and clear when teaching. If you show that you are trying he will help you and you are guaranteed to succeed! Our class average was very high, and stats is a very hard class...
Stephen is an amazingly great teacher! Very easy going, hands down my favourite prof after 2 years at kwantlen. His tests are extremely easy and straightforward, he basically tells you whats on all the tests and the final exam. He loves to see his students succeed and goes the pace of the slowest person in he class. Will definately take him again!
Amazing teacher, goes out of his way to help you, would definitely take him again! Explains the material slowly and clearly until you get it.
Amazing instructor. Goes above and beyond your expectations. Explains everything until you completely understand. And you don't even need to buy the textbook!
I can tell you before I took this class i was scared that I wouldn't do well. Stephen is very helpful clear as long as you study you will do well. Oh and his you tube tutorials are very helpful defiantly recommend him
What can i say? This Prof was the BEST Prof at Kwantlen. His class was super easy and he made the class fun. Stats can be pretty tough but the way Stephen teaches even a monkey can understand. If you need to pass Stats take it with Stephen. At the end of the semester,you wont ask whether you passed or failed but rather how high of a mark you got
Stephen is the best! He goes above and beyond what is expected! The comments below do not lie. Take him and you will not regret. Our class average was very high. Very nice and encouraging, he really does care!
Amazing instructor! Stephen really goes out of his way to ensure you understand, as long as you do the homework and try you will do well in his class. He will do anything to ensure you succeed.I was going to be happy to just pass his class and so far I have an A average.
Wow, Steve is helpful instructor @ Kwantlen. If U ask him some questions, U will B fine. Do the Good Questions, and get better marks!!!
He is an amazing teacher and i HIGHLY recommend him. I was scared of business math before going into this class and came out with an A. He will make sure everyone understands a concept before moving on. TAKE HIM :)
Stephen has a great way of breaking down concepts in a way you can understand and he'll go the extra mile to help you. He's extra clear what's coming on the tests. Me, who hates Math, got an A. Bet your life I'll be taking him for Stats.
Great guy very nice and explains everything to the bone. Also goes slowly through the lesson doesn't rush
a real good guy...I failed this class 2 years ago, took it again with Stephen just hoping to survive and get a pass and I walked out with A-. Seriously if you want a good mark take it with Stephen
it's ridiculous how helpful this teacher is! he goes ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure you get a good mark. nice and funny. Thank you Stephen for helping me get B+! Take this teacher, the earlier comments don't lie
I cannot say this enough. He's the best teacher for stats. He has no life, creates youtube videos, questions, notes, extra learning assignments, in his free time. He's so funny! And most of all, he makes Stats easy and he's an easy marker. If you do bad on a midterm, if you do well on the final or second midterm - he'll raise your bad mark! TAKEHIM
Loved this teacher. Really cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. Extremely helpful and wants to be bothered with students asking questions. You must attend class to get a good mark. High recommended.
Great Proff explains all the concepts very clearly, will take him again for buqu 1230! thanks stephen!
He actually tries to make the class as interesting as possible and is super helpful he wants everyone to succeed. He is just a pleasant guy. Loved him and his class, thx stephen. I will definitely be taking him for buqu 1230.
AMAZING! have never met a professor that is so easy going, funny, and cares so much about his students! I would take any classes that are taught by him! he spends unbelievable amount of time to reach out and help his students!!! I had him for both BUQU 1130 and BUQU 1230
Best Stats teacher ever! I took stats with a different prof and did not understand anything.. I retook it with Stephen and I aced the class!!
Stephen is a great teacher, on of the best ive had so far. He will do ANYTHING for you to understand the material. He tells you whats on the exam, he records his notes, writes his notes, provides powerpoints, replys to emails within the hour.
This course was really interesting in that we got to use a simulation tool and do some optimization. Prof made this course SO understandable and EASTY to learn. His funny personality kept students awake. entertaining! worth the $ .1st midterm average was about 85 percent. Definite GPA booster!
Best stats prof! I only have Math 10, and ended up with an A in this course. If you can add, substract, multiply you'll do well like me. BUT don't miss any classes..other wise, using the textbook is really hard to understand. He teaches so u understand the concept. Book doesn't
He is the best prof I have taken at KPU, he is very helpful and really puts in the effort for his students to understand the concepts that he is teaching. I would take any class of his again and I highly recommend him. His exams are pretty tough but he is a fair marker and if you do the inclass questions then you should have no problem passing exam
Stephen is quite possibly one of the best professors I have ever encountered. Not only is he passionate about statistics, he genuinely care about his students' academic future. In no doubt, I recommend Stephen to other students.
prof is great!the secret to getting an A or A+ in this course is doing all the questions assigned.the test Qs are similar.study the q/a/s and u'll ace the exam. textbook not required for course. but if u want to to the work at home need access code to download software. get book (int'l ver) from ebay like i did. ab 55.00
awesome prof made this course worth the money! did not regret taking this course. money well spent as gpa booster and i acquired some marketable skill~all of which i will use at work. more buqu(stats)courses like this should be offered at kwantlen. this course makes me want to take more BUQU (stats) courses for fun!
I loved this course so much. My math skills were lacking but I still learnt a lot! Easy GPA booster. Average grade was 85%
Amazing prof! I've never had a teach pay so much attention to their students! From Youtube videos, long office hours, Keenies assignments (which he marks and provides feedback on) Full of energy and you can feel the passion he has for what he does. Must Take!
One of the best professors I've had. He gives you all the tools to get an A+. All you need to do is 1) go through the PowerPoints while listening to his MP3's, 2) attend class 3) do his suggested problems/keenies 4) reference his youtube channel for excel probs 5) make a solid cheat sheet. maybe 2-3 hours a week, no surprises.
I took 3 classes with him and he is probably the best prof in Kwantlen. Very helpfull. If your not good with Math or Stats he would be your best choice because he will take him time to make sure that you understand the work. He also has office hours in learning center so that he can actully help us with our work. I would take him again!!
great! redo inclass questions and you will be good to go. practise more problems the more the better.
Had him for both 1130/1230 and got A's in both classes. AMAZING PROF. Genuinely cares about his students, always makes sure each concept is understood by EVERYBODY, pretty much gives you all the necessary questions and you see almost the same ones on the exams (so you don't really need the textbook AT ALL). So friendly and just AWESOME!!!
Simply an amazing prof. Stephen is probably the best teacher I have ever had. He really wants his students to learn and will go out of his way to help each student succeed. There is always a big waiting list for his classes so take him as soon as you can!! I wish he taught all business related classes. :)
very easy and nice teacher
very responsible teacher
AMAZING!! he is sooo helpful... as long as you do the work (keenies) u will get an A in his class for sure. He loves when students ask questions- he gets a serious kick out of stats (kinda creepy lol). If I were u (and I was) I would take him, no questions asked!
Stphen is the most awesome prof ever! He really really wants to help his students! Give a lot of practice in class, and the exams are really similar to the practice. Just make sure attend every class u will get a great grade! Take as much course as u can of his!
BEST instructor I have EVER met. If you are in KPU, must take with him! Not only AMAZING as instructor, but also as friend. He is just OMG.
Stephen is very kind. Explains the material in an understandable manner. If that is not enough, he is available in the resource centre helping students.
Stephen is by far the best prof in Kwantlen. He really knows his stuff and explains things very clearly. He makes sure you understand the material before moving on, there is NO WAY you can fail his class! As long as you are trying to learn his material, he will be good to you! TAKE THIS PROF! you will not go wrong! <3 LOVE PEPLOW
A+,Amazing. I literally study for 2 hours for my exams. he ACTUALLY teaches everything in class. EVERYTHING so therefore you dont have to do much outside of class.Couple things:PAY ATTENTION AND ATTEND CLASS, DONT BUY BOOK,GO 2 HIS OFFICE, DO ASSIGNMENTS, his exams are whatever he does in practice and congrats you just got A+
take with stephen!!!
Stephen is one of the best profs in KPU! Hands down. He is always willing to help you do good in the class! Even though this course is an elective, I learned a lot from him! His exams are straightforward; no tricky exam questions. If you try hard, and ask for his help, you'll do good in his class! I wish he teaches taxation too.
Best teacher in this school, took stats with another teacher didn't understand anything failed, re did stats with Stephan and got an A+. Explains everything perfectly, always there if you need him. As long as you do the hw you should get at least an A
Highly recommend this prof because he really cares about his students and their success. A B+ or higher is definitely possible as long as you follow along in class and do some more practice questions at home. Unless you want additional practice questions, the textbook is not mandatory. He is a very friendly guy who likes to crack jokes during class
Stephen's great. One of the best Prof's at KPU. His classes are easy to follow and the content is super easy. Can get hard to stay interested because it get slow at times. If you know how to use formulas you can get an A+
I absolutely loved this class. He makes things so simple and easy and was always available outside of class and even stayed two hours after class in the library for anyone who wanted extra help. He tests you on what you learned in class so no surprises. Its impossible to not get an A in his class with all the help he offers and im awful at math!!.
Explains things very clearly. Will slow down if the class needs him to. He was available after class in the learning centre if you needed him. Ended up getting an A. If you put in effort, you'll have no problem getting an A too.
He is just AMAZING person. I have never met any person like him. So helpful.. !! I will definately take class with him one more time if I will get a chance. ENTHUSIASTIC CLASS ENVIRONMENT!!
Very balanced teacher who does his job very well, and obviously cares about student success. Lectures contribute to participation marks and you should really go. He slows down when necessary and reaches out to help students who need it., but challenges stronger students with plenty of practice questions. Approachable and always willing to help.
best professor ever
You may learn a lot of stuff from him, and he is super nice!!!! You must take him coz he got ppt which will be on the exam. Just practice more and you will get easy A
Stephen is the best prof I have ever had!! He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to do well/ learn. Allot of reviews say Stephens class is an easy A, but that is not entirely true. You will need to put in an effort. The best part about Stephen is that he offers so much extra help. Go to his learning centre hours!!! It will pay off.
Stop!!! You have to read this if you are considering taking classes with Stephen. This man has changed my life. I believe from the bottom of my heart that Stephen I am where now because of his positive influence on me many years ago. When you meet someone with such passion for teaching and to help people you cannot help but improve yourself.
I am in my fourth year now and had Steven in my first year, till this day he is the best instructor I ever had. Vert rare to have an instructor that is motivated to teach and really wants you to learn. What I liked about him is that he taught us the smart way of doing problems and always told us why we are doing such problem and why is it useful.
Stephen is an amazing prof who you must take. Don't bother with the textbook as he explains much better and gives plenty of practice questions. Get comfortable using Excel as it makes your life easier. He should teach some of the other profs how to teach as his enthusiasm is infectious and he actually cares about his students.
Really nice teacher! Cares about you passing the class. He explains everything very thoroughly and will not continue unless everyone understands. He also will make time to sit in the learning centre to wait for students to come if they need help.
Stephan is the man. Nothing else to say. Best prof ever
I've always hated formulas and calculations - they give me such great stress bc it's essentially learning and attempting to excel in a whole new language. Stephen went over and above in easing this stress with his clarity and patience in class. He's truly and awesome prof who is really in the business of teaching to help students excel.
I HIGHLY suggest taking stephen! I failed pre cal 11 2 times and I was nervous taking this class. BUT HOLYYY this prof is amazing!! he makes sure everyone understands, goes out of his way to help you, great to do see after or before class and if you can do this question he provides in class and the worksheet at home you'll get an A for sure!!!
Awesome instructor i have ever seen. He is helping and friendly. He gives proper notes and valuable material to students. Even students are also allowed to take cheet sheet with them.
Stephen is the greatest prof you will encounter at KPU. He is the most caring instructor when it comes to learning and achieving. Easy class and makes sure everyone understands material. Cuts items out of mid terms if he feels like we rushed them or didnt get a good opportunity to learn it. IF YOU WANT TO PASS AND MEET A GREAT PERSON, TAKE STEPHEN
A very good professor with good teaching skills. Very easy quizzes and tests. No textbook required and just focus on the materials provided in the class. Easy marking and clear the doubts quite good.
Best professor ever! Dr Stephen values learning over marks. He will not proceed if you dont understand a concept. He loves it when everyone understands and he loves to see everyone succeed. Work hard and an A+ is guaranteed. Not very hard tests and quizzes. But hard enough to challenge you. If youre consistent, nothing can stop you getting an A+
BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD! Stephen is SO SO caring and he's super funny. His classes are super interesting and he makes his lectures SO easy! He makes sure to go over something a thousand times if someone doesn't understand the lecture. Truly the best prof at KPU and i'd take him again any day.
he is so good. best prof at kwantlen. helps students in every possible way. must take a course with him.
Stephen is one of the best profs at KPU. I seriously suggest you take his class for both BUQU 1130 and BUQU 1230. Do the work and come to class. If you don't understand the material during class, he has generous office hours in the library where you can ask for clarification. He is a genuinely kind and funny guy. Wish he could teach all my courses!
Stephen is such a wonderful prof. He truly cares about his students' well-being. I was so afraid of stats especially since we had to use excel but he makes it straightforward and easy to understand. No textbook required - posts slides online. Go to class, work through the problems, and you'll be fine. He's also always available for help.
I Had the chance to take Stats and Business math with Stephen. He is without a doubt the best prof I have ever had. He genuinely wants everyone in the class to receive an A. If you have questions or concerns he is always available to help. If you show up to class and put in effort you will get a great mark.
Amazing Prof. Probably the best so far.
Yes, all the glowing reviews on Stephen are 100% accurate. He is the most laid back professor I have ever encountered, you can tell he wants everyone to pass and is willing to help after class. I wish I could take every one of my classes with Stephen!
This guy is legit a legend; super chill professor wants every student to pass. Beware, he is super hilarious. If he taught accounting courses, I would take it with him. I have an immense amount of respect for him. A real salute to you sir!!!!
BEST PROF EVER!!!!!! 10/10 would recommend, the thought of doing math scared me but this prof made it easy and fun. A genuine guy who actually wants you to do well and is always there to help you out when you need it. Not many profs out there like him, if I could take all my classes with him, I WOULD.
Legend of a Professor. Really cares about every single student in his class, and he's the only teacher that has made math fun to learn for me. I super hate math, but I love these classes.
GOAT,Never seen a prof care so much about his students,He wants everyone to succeed in his class,He even put videos online so that u wont miss anything,The course itself is easy,Most of the questions are straightforward,Super light workload,He is willing to answer all your questions and always at your service,GPA booster, Must take!!!
For the new students, he must be your first choice
You will enjoy his classes. his rating of 5/5 speaks more about his work than my words.
Take him, that's all I need to say. The textbooks he uses are free (yes you read that right!), lectures are well organized and things are really easy to understand with him. Truly on of the most amazing professors in this university.
one of the best professor I've ever seen. Difficulty is very easy and classes are interesting as well.
Great professor, really cares about his students and replies to all your emails. The overall material is fairly easy to grasp and you should do well in the class.
I have taken two classes with him so far and he's honestly great. He really wants all his students to succeed. I would recommend him to anyone. In person or online he still is the best.
Stephen cares about his students and wants to help them succeed in his class. The textbook and calculator are free. The textbook is quite long, so notes can be taken from his slides. To be ready for quizzes and tests, just do all the work he provides in class and on Moodle. Hilarious quiz and test questions.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR , IF YOU SEE HIM IN A COURSE YOU NEED TO TAKE! TAKE HIM!!!!! ALWAYS AVAILABLE OUTSIDE CLASS, LECTURES ARE EASY TO FOLLOW, HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP! I WISHED I TOOK HIM WHILE SCHOOL WAS BEING HELD IN CLASS SO I CAN SEE HOW AMAZING HE IS IN PERSON!
He is an awesome professor. I havent seen any professor like him. Hes willing to help his students, quizzes, midterm, and final are easy as long as you follow his lectures. He always replies email very quick. YOU MUST TAKE HIS ClASS. Itll change your life if you get a chance to work with him.
I don't usually leave any comment about a professor but Steven is a gem. Do yourself a favour a take him if you ever see an open spot in his class. He is dedicated, patience and really wanted you to pass, easy A if you follow his instructions. Regret not being able to meet him in person.
One of the best online prof's at KPU. He is so patient and his weekly lesson videos are very helpful (which aren't mandatory to attend and records them). A few quizzes, 2 midterms and 1 final, all straightforward. Not to mention, he is hilarious when the class engages with him during live lesson videos.
He is a fun and caring professor. He's always there to help students. And his quizzes and exams are extremely easy. Just about 10 short questions for 1 hour!!!!!!
One of the best professor at KPU.If you get chance to take his class just take without thinking.
Amazing
This prof is very understanding of his students and is willing to go above and beyond for anyone in his class, his notes are thorough enough you don't even need to refer to the textbook which is free and the math is not that difficult. Stephen is the type of prof students want in a class, take him you won't regret it!
A very humble and good professor. always ready to help the students with any doubts and make extra time to solve the problems. fast reply to the emails and if honestly the best professor. wish I could take more courses with him.
I wish I had more professors like Dr. Stephen Peplow. He made statistics more interesting and was extremely respectful and knowledgeable. I wish I took more courses with him. He helps his students and is willing to stay behind class and explain the topic more fully. I would definitely recommend!
Best professor ever, if you have to opportunity to take statistics with him, do it!!!
Best prof ever, makes lectures interesting and makes sure everyone understands, wish I could take more classes with him!
He is one of the best professors. I have found throughout my study. I would love to take another course with him if I get the chance but this is my last semester. I missed my mid-term and next time before every exam he reminded me that I do not forget to attempt the exam. I recommend everyone to take classes with him.
An exceptionally modest and competent professor. Always ready to help the students with any doubts and make extra time to solve the problems. fast reply to the emails and if honestly the best professor. wish I could take more courses with him.
A stunning example of how math should be taught. Stephen will go through examples multiple times until everyone understands. Lectures are recorded allowing you to re watch anything you need a refresher on. Quizzes have two attempts, encouraging you to correct your mistakes. Practice questions have answer keys and are similar to test questions.
He is super kind and always goes out of his way to help with whatever you need. His class is straightforward. Keep up with the homework, and you will do well. The exams are fair and cover what we learn in class, so there are no confusion or tricky questions. I recommend taking his course!
Stephen is amazing. I was concerned about stats as I don't excel in math, but he goes above and beyond to help his students reach their potential and truly wants everyone to grasp the concepts. He makes himself available at any point in time for 1on1 session. Quizzes/tests are replicas of his lectures. Follow along, ask for help & you will do well
Professor Peplow is an exceptional educator - always willing to help and make extra time for students. The course is manageable with his guidance, and unstuckstudy proved invaluable for study prep.
