“Prof. Roberts is the greatest thing that ever happened to Biostats at McGill. He makes a generally boring topic into something very interesting and approachable.”

“Dr. Roberts is the best prof I’ve had at McGill … He was unbelievably approachable, cared a lot about whether or not the students understood the material; he was flexible with the lectures when students didn’t understand a difficult part. … I don’t have one negative thing to say - he’s definitely a model prof!!”

“Excellent teaching skills. One of the best math teachers I ever had: enthusiastic, knows his material, interacts with the students during lectures. Awesome.”

“Dr. Roberts is the best teacher I’ve had at McGill. I love his teaching style and how he tests the material covered and there are no unpleasant surprises.”

“I found Prof. Roberts to be a truly excellent professor. He was always smiling and enthusiastic each class and demonstrated a respect for the students and their questions that I have rarely seen. It was easy to learn with his organized, fun way of teaching.”

“Mark Roberts is an excellent instructor, one of the best I’ve had in 3 and a half years of study at McGill. He’s enthusiastic, very knowledgeable and interesting.”

“I have never had a Prof use PowerPoint so effectively or be so accessible outside the class.”

“The examples used were based on reality and this was really nice. ... In fact, this is my definition of a perfect course.”

“Professor Roberts is amazing! Extremely helpful and always accessible. ... He explains concepts clearly and breaks the material down to a very understandable level. I thought I would hate this course (because I don’t like math) but it has been great, and quite helpful in other areas (and in the future I am sure). I would recommend this course highly, as well as any course taught by Professor Mark Roberts.”
