PSTAT8 . Grigorian K A Month Ago

I was nervous taking this professor just from the reviews but I will say he is an amazing professor.highly highly recommend taking him as long as you show you are putting in effort and participating in class even just speaking to him outside of class or after class you will pass with a good grade. He is incredibly kind and understanding. Take him.

I was very nervous taking him by reading the reviews but I will say he is an amazing professor. If you are actively putting in effort and participating in his class even just talking to him after you will get a good grade. He is extremely understanding and kind I highly recommend him as a professor truly an amazing professor.

The expectations really clear, make sure you go actively to class and participate. He's pretty understanding and he helped me out a lot as well. I'm very grateful, he wants his students to succeed and while he does go off tangents sometimes, he's entertaining and the class is overall enjoyable. Also very generous of bonuses at the end of quarter.

Karen's great. It's true you should participate and he goes on lots of tangents, but as long as you're able to grasp to the details of the lecture you'll be fine. He is very accessible and grading criteria is clear. Class is challenging but not hard. Overall W prof would recommend. Participate enough and he'll give a big bonus, very clutch on tests

Super great professor! He strongly encourages participation and it is honestly fun to participate in his class, he will joke around with you and still make the course easy to pass, even if the material is sort of hard to grasp, he wants you to succeed!!

He is a super sweet professor, just participate in elcture and you will do well. Participation helps a lot, as well as sitting near the front and saying hi, he really appreciates it when you put effort into saying something. Show up to lecture because he does random attendance and the HWs are very reasonable. He gives lots of bonuses at the end.
