Professor Karapetyan is a good teacher. His lecture is very understandable. Statistics is a difficult subject, but he makes it easy to understand. Homework, quizzes, and test are online (Math-XL). He is a fair grader, but you need to work for your grade. I would take him again.

An amazing professor. Whatever depends on him- he does brilliantly. He clarifies everything, answers all the questions, gives you a chance to improve your score. But you gotta work and read, try not to miss anything cause it will be harder for you to catch up. This wasn't an "easy A", but if you work properly,you'll get it

Professor Karapetyan is truly amazing. You have to work hard for an A. He is so nice and caring. He is willing to help all of his students. His lectures are the best. Professor Karapetyan is funny and enlightening. His lectures are to the point and teaches what is necessary for one to succeed in the course. I recommended this professor completely.

I'm horrible at math, failed it a couple of times. Mr. K's math110 class is so easy going and clear. He explains everything in such a clear and caring manner. Took his class during the summer session and passed with B. I'm so thankful I enrolled in his math course, I wish he taught other math subjects. Do your HW, come to class and pay attention!

Thank God for Karapetyan!!! I am glad I ended up with this professor. He gave test questions straight from the homework or lecture notes and very little ones, about 5-10. Final was about 16 questions. Everything he said was on the test. Little hw. He makes sure his students get the math and is hilarious. Very helpful and friendly, would take again

Professor K is not the worst but not the best. He is decent but unlike most professors, he did not continue lectures after the online transition resulting from COVID-19. The whole course was basically self-taught. He is funny and has a great personality. He teaches very standard material. Tests are based on homework questions.

Very straightforward, very clear, and teaches at the eye level of the students. Most math profs make me feel alienated by their lectures and tests being extremely different. Prof K is very consistent and teaches us better ways to teach math. He also takes steps gradually and doesn't deep dive into the sea of math. Much better than other math profs

Professor Karapetyan offers a relatively average statistics class overall, provided that you are an independent learner. He is a caring, funny person, but in my opinion, he should not be a statistics teacher. He has trouble answering questions about the material, a concern which is probably exacerbated by the fact that English is his 2nd language.

He is understandable and very light hearted. The HW was on Aleks math with unlimited attempts and had reasonable due dates. He taught VERY clearly and let us out a bit early sometimes. He was also open to extra credit by simply attending tutoring at the PI Shop (Instant 5% grade boost). He would also round your grade up. You should take his class.

Professor Karapetyan traveled to Europe during finals week. He left a week before the finals and returned two weeks after the finals. The tests always gave errors, and I had numerous visits to the ER, but he refused to give a makeup. The class was supposed to be 2 hours, but he did only 30 minutes. I wouldn't write a review, if received support.

The professor's teaching style made the material difficult to follow. Explanations were often unclear, so I relied heavily on the textbook and outside resources to understand the topics. Missing even one class affects performance. Overall, the lectures were not effective, and I would not recommend this course.
