CollegeHis course are difficult to follow, but overall he is a good and passionate professor. The TAs will guide you to solve the homework problems, and the tests are based on given practices as well as homework, so if you work hard and go to lectures regularly, it's not hard for you to get an A.
Great teacher, and good lecturer. It was a fun entertaining class and he truly just wants people to show up and participate. Will give extra credit on exams for attendance and even a free exam question for participation. Does attendance randomly when the room isn't full. Easy exams, it is very similar to the practice exam. He wants you to succeed.
If you are part of his cult and participate, you'll be rewarded with questions removed from midterms and finals. He also taught stuff way outside of the Exam FM syllabus and skipped immunization. I have avoided sharing my grade and other information out of fear that his cult members search and silence me. Save yourself and remember this: skdjhfbsdk
His only cons are really that the lecture are very scattered but he does provide lecture slides to go along with it. You do have to study on your own, however, PARTICIPATE! I didn't have to do 20% of my final, 10 other students who participated a lot got the same treatment. PLEASE do the optional final project and you literally have a Guaranteed A
Bipolar during exam time. His lectures make very little sense and goes so far beyond the scope of the class that the TA's started just giving us answers to the homework. A lot of what you go over in lecture doesn't even go on the exams because he's not allowed to test on it. Genuinely the most stressful class I have ever taken.Also crazy favoritism
People that criticize Professor Grigorian don't know what a good Professor is. Grigorian is very accessible, has interesting lectures and does his best at making his class fun. I had him for PSTAT 8 this quarter and his grading was very lenient, as well as his exams. He is not a boring professor and whatever question you have he'll answer. A+ prof.
