PSTAT160B . Grigorian K 11 Days Ago

Dr. Grigorian is super engaging, time flies in lecture. The lecture material is really difficult, impossible to understand in lecture and incredibly difficult to understand after, but the exams are easier and more comparative to textbook material. He randomly takes attendance and also grades on participation. Textbook is a must to read.

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

Professor Grigorian is very passionate about math, and that comes across in lecture for sure. His tests are very fair and if you take time to study and do practice problems it should be fine. Homework does take a little while, but it is helpful to understand the concepts. Participation MATTERS. Definitely sit closer to the front so he remembers you

Professor clearly loves teaching mathematics you can see his passion in the way he explain concepts. The midterm was fair, and they provided helpful sample questions for preparation. I shared my concerns about this course with him, and he took the time to listen. Even though my performance wasn't great, I think he is a good educator.
