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.

Good lecturer, very passionate about the subject. Can get bogged down in theoretical concepts, but very fair on how he tests them. Midterm was challenging so gave lots of bonus opportunities and an easy final, gives extra credit to people who participate in class - sit in the front so he know you! Lectures genuinely needed to do well butinteresting

Homework takes forever, class only covers proofs and unrelated content. Loves to bring in super high-level concepts and introduce you to tons of new notation when it's not necessary. Gives lots of bonuses to people who participate in class but you need to already know his concepts to answer any of the questions, basically an abstract math class.

Decent lecturer. But if you don't like abstract math, don't take the class, loves to make things theoretical and complicated. Also PARTICIPATION matters a lot - let students remove 1/3 of the final just for participating but you need to read the book before lecture to answer any of his impossible questions. Also lecture is mando for all the proofs

agree with the last person that wrote the review. Literally if u participate u get a better grade and easier finals bc he asks questions while teaching the material so you already have to know it. lectures are genuinely so unhelpful but attendance was mandatory. He is not good at teacher at all. Avoid him.

Frustratingly inaccessible outside of class. I couldn't make office hours & he didn't reply to my emails for 2 weeks even after talking to him in class. If you participate, then you receive better grades and easier finals, but that requires you to understand course material before he even teaches it. Never felt so miserable & unsupported in a class

Confusing , unorganized lecture ,and heavy homework, taught material way beyond student's ability. he says if you don't participate and answer questions in class you can never get A. He says the MT will be similar to exam but it is much harder. Everything is random and unorganized
