Worst professor I've had. Unclear what was expected and extremely unrealistic grading. Provided little feedback on what to study. Avoid at all costs!

Easily the most frustrating experience I have had in a math class. Professor often changed or cancelled office hours, was unresponsive over email, graded tests harshly, and sometimes struggled writing proofs in class. He responded to requests for help with course content or for study material beyond his insufficient resources with condescension.

The professor put in the least amount of effort into teaching I have ever seen a teacher put it. He was very rude to students when confronted by students or asked to provide more support. Exams and reasoning for grading were not provided. His clarity and mastery over the material was in line with his poor teaching

Course has very little homework and no feedback given. In essence, the only preparation for the final is some poorly given lectures

This course was extremely challenging and had very unclear expectations. I know he had taken two years away from teaching and this was his first course back, so it may have been just a transition. It was hard to reach him in office hours to get extra help. Additionally, it felt like the homework, lectures, and exam were fairly disjoint.

Deeply disappointing professor. Exams were difficult and graded harshly, email responses were extremely unsympathetic, and he was incapable of admitting his wrongdoings. His ego got in the way of his ability to teach this class and he did not care about his students succeeding. Avoid if you can

Don't be fooled by the old comment here. I think he lost his sense on teaching undergrad courses. Extremely difficult exams, disproportionate to homework content

Davit DGAF Harutyunyan. Grades harshly and expects a deep understanding of real analysis despite forgetting/messing up the proofs himself. Little to no partial credit on exams, doesn't respond to emails, and offers minimal guidance on studying for exams. He crashed out after asking us if his exam Qs were too hard and we said yes...? AVOID THIS PROF

One of my favorite professors. He explains everything so clearly, and his homework and exams are manageable. He cares about students, and gives a lot of extra credits too.
