doesn't speak good english and the tone of his voice can put you right to sleep...he's a nice guy though

If you thake him, be prepared to take the book and study all by yourself. Never answers the questions right.

Bad accent & he can't teach well. Instead of teaching you the right methods he will teach you the methods on what not to do on an exam. You will become your own teacher basically. He's boring & it's easy to fall asleep in his class too.

I like math, but his personality is so dull, dry, cold, and simply boring. At every class period, you can feel your eyelids getting heavier and heavier. It's just too hard to stay awake.

At the beginning of the semester, we had 40 people in our class. Near the end of the semester, only 14 students are left. And he would say, oh it's not too bad. The average score on a test would be 65%, and he would say, oh, it's not too bad. Hmmm. . . I wonder who the source of the problem is.

His explanations are not very clear, and his examples are always straight from the book... It is very easy to fall asleep in his class.

he is so boaring but so helpful and easy teacher,

It is very hard to understand what he is talking about. His accent is worse than my grand mAA!!! I did well because I read everything from the book.....He Totally sucks; worse teacher I ever had in GCC

his really one of our ****ed up theachers!!

horrible, horrible,and horrible. that's all i can say about him. Avoid him

OMG IF YOU WORK YOUR *** OFF YOU END UP WITH C. HE HAS THE LANGUAGE PROBLEM TOO. ALL HE DOES IS TO COPY THE EXAMPLES FROM THE BOOK ON THE BORD.AVOID HIM.

doesnt seem very smart. doesnt let students use a graphing caluclator in stats. tells us to use a computer.... like we r going to use one during a test.....

y do these ppl pick professors who cant teach for higher math classes? i mean if he confuses and contradicts himself wut should the students expect to learn? i didnt knw copying the examples off the book was teaching? and plz if u are going to teach math lose the accent! or just stop teaching! although i think he knew his math his difficulty was teaching the material...o well some ppl are just not suppose to teach!!

i advise everyone that goes to glendale community college not to take this teacher....he can not teach, and has the thickest accent i have ever heard! please, for ur sake, and my sake, do not take him! he disgusts me.

He was the worst teacher I have ever had. I have been at GCC for 2 years and he is the worst instructor. He degrades the students and is not encouraging at all.

Best class ever, because I only went for a week. This guy is BORING. He plays favorites. I went to his office and he answered 2 of my questions and then just walked away ignoring me because "he was busy". I've cussed out teachers before but this guy isn't even worth it. Pure waste of time. Save yourself the trouble and take someone else.

OMG! save urslf and never take his class. he is retarded (not including the thick ass accent) he writes in hyrogliphics and totally skips half the steps on his "new" material...then he totally anal about his tests and quizes. he has no mercy!!!!

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! He is by far the worst instructor ever. I have been at GCC for 2 years and he was the WORST! He puts you down for not knowing the asnwers and he calls people names in the class. He doesn't teach new material since "you can read it in the book". Half the time I couldn't understand him or his writing. SAVE your GPA!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF. this man CAN NOT teach. you ask him to clarify something and his answer is "vatever". if you take this class you are on your own. it is up to u to learn the material and stay up all night trying to figure out the problems. he grades partially and takes points off for the stubidest things. youll regret taking this class

I hated his class. It was very boring. He has a thick accent , so you cant really understand him. He singles people out if they dont know how to do a problem. PLEASE! DONT TAKE HIM! You will regret it.

I usually pull all A in my classes but i got a F in his class. I worked really hard for it too. I dropped a class so i could concentrate on my math, and got a tutor as well. Needless to say i felt horrible. next semester i took the class over and realized that the majority of the class was made up of the same students from my previous class.

Not easy to understand.

Hard teacher

I should have listened to the comments on this site before enrolling in his class, but i told myself that I'm good in math and it doesn't matter what teacher i take. Boy, was I WRONG! He just writes the same stuff that are in the book,WORD BY WORD! His tests are very difficult and tricky! Class average was an F and he does not curve. prepare to fai

The worst teacher ever, dont' waste your time and don't take him

this professor is literally a waste of time for many reasons. First, he has an accent that gets in the way of his teaching. He teaches directly from the book and restates whatever the book does...so what's the use! Instead of answering questions, he makes sarcastic comments about the stupidity of the question being asked...he is the worst teacher!

i have always gotten A's in all my classes..but i no that this dude will give me my first B or even a grade lower. Be ready to learn on your own. GCC might as well hire a robot to teach us...he is rude and sarcastic...he just walks away when you ask him a ? after class....HE SUCKS>>>>

This guy's an idiot. He wants his studenst to always ask q's but when they do he makes fun of them. Incredibly UNFAIR when it comes to everything.

This guy's an idiot. He wants his studenst to always ask q's but when they do he makes fun of them. Incredibly UNFAIR when it comes to everything.

This is the worst teacher by far!!!!! PLease do yourself a favor and dont take him his tests are unbelievably hard and wen u ask him a question about a problem he will seriously put u down instead of answering it

I took his class for 2 weeks and couldn't attend because have some issues. Even if I have a chand to go, I couldn't pass his class. He has a talent that makes me fall asleep. too much mumbling

He has a talent that makes me fall asleep.

You might as well take an online course...everytime anyone would ask him a question he will laugh and say you should've learned that in high school...his class really killed my (no C's in college policy) his class was the first C I earned in college...wish I took someone else I'd earn an A im sure...i taught myself...he keeps you til the last sec.

im having a hard time figuring out who da hell gave this foo his diploma. do urseld a favor and unless u already know ur sh0it, don take him

WORST TEACHER EVER!!!!!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOOOT TAKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!

this teacher is no help at all he assumes you already know all the materials and does not explain anything

Take his class.He can't teach so you will be have to be taught by urself, but his tests are easy if you are prepared. Just do homework problems and u will be fine.

i had to drop this class because this professor is retarded -_- wow.there is nothing i can say that others have not said before. even if this is the last class u need to take to transfer, STAY AN EXTRA YEAR AND DON'T TAKE IT !!!!!!!

Lousy pr1ck got his son or daughter to give him 3 consecutive high ratings on 6/19/08 just to make his score on ratemyprof balance out. His account should be blacklisted and he should be barred from working in California.

To the person under me : I'm not a math major but I have a 3.6 gpa and this class was my first C. The teacher doesnt explain anything, he makes fun of you for asking questions, and the tests are so hard our class has 18 out of 55 people left and our class avg. is a 40%. Only about 10 out of the 18 of us left are passing.

He is not a very patient teacher. Be prepared to learn the material on your own and his tests are not easy.

horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrible!!!!!! never take a class with him! he's useless and you will never learn anything from his lecture! and he is very hard to understand.

Winter. Heavy accent. SO confusing. You have to learn on your own, really. Thank god I already took this in high school because I would've failed otherwise! Find someone else unless you can teach yourself.

Qualiy of education in Glendale Community College is going down, because of idiots like this professor. I am switching my college to PCC.

He's rude, sarcastic & not helpful. He doesn't curve & prejudges students according to his standards which is ridiculous (ex. you don't deserve an A)! He let's a lot of cheating during the tests which is not fair for others. Although he knows the material, but a horrible teacher. If you're looking for a stress-free class, try other instructors.

the only thing is that he can NOT teach .

Not a good teacher. If you think that he is an Armenian and that will help you(armenians) to have a good relationship with him you are mistaken. He does not explain the material well, i read all chapters from book and with my own studying i got a B. Always acts like he is the best and is sarcastic with his students. Dont take him if u wanna learn.

He is rude and does not know how to talk to the students.Also, he is useless and you will not learn anything from his class.

Not interested in helping students. He asked the class if we have any questions and gets irritated later with the questions because he expects students to know everyting about math. BTw he thinks he is funny. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER AT ALL!!!

Extremely difficult, horrible at explaining. He's so mean and rude. he calls out students in class for not attending. Maybe they're not attending because he's so bad at teaching

worst teacher don't take him. Hi is so rude and he doesn't have any respect if you ask a question.Bad, bad, bad

He was the worst teacher I have ever had. He is completely rude when you ask a question, he thinks he is funny and make jokes. The tests are so hard, and the time he gives is very limited, only a few students finish early. Don't take his class, ever even if you have to .

He gets super mad when you need something to be explained more than once. He's sarcastic and will make you look stupid. He's very condescending. He talks very slowly and will bore you to the afterlife. When he's working a problem, he will skip steps and not let you know. I had to teach myself the whole summer semester, and I got a B. DO NOT TAKE!!!

I use to LOVE math, but this teacher made me hate it. He can not teach whatsoever. He laughs when someone asks a homework question. He makes his test questions tricky and doesn't give the extra credit he promises. DONT TAKE HIM.

I took this class loving math, but I was really challenged with his problems, and not in a good way. In our 104 class, the class started with 40+ students, and now there are barely seven. This is self explanatory. I ended up dropping because it was impossible to please this guy.

Honestly. Hes pretty horrible. Hes very condescending and he doesnt even help that much. I think I only understood about 2% of his lectures and had to go to SI and learn from youtube lectures most of the time. I would avoid him. I love math. But I could care less for his condescension and rudeness.

Stay away from this guy! He is very rude and will call you out if you ask a basic question and make you look stupid. Our MATH 104 class started out with more than 40 people and ended with 7-8. The problem with this guy is that he doesn't care about his students. I can tell that he's a smart guy and loves math, but he's just not a very good teacher

Don't take his class cause he can't even talk English fluently. It takes half an hour for him to describe some simple theories. Worst teacher that I've ever seen. Hopefully I dropped his class at first week of semester.

Absolutely horrible...

He is the worst professor I have ever seen it before . Although I did the same answers or wrote down all the steps. He didn't give me any points. Don't take him ,If u take him , u will be regret the rest of your life

Terrible instructor, doesn't teach and refuses to go over homework questions if SI is available. Office hour questions are reluctantly answered and given vague responses sort of like "look at it like__(add simile )_" The tests are fairly easy with no surprises if you do and understand the homework. He will nail you if you make a mistake though.

Know what you're getting into. Don't expect to understand him in the class. Take him if you have lots of free time to read the whole book yourself. He told us all the tests will be take home, but we did 3 take home tests and he suddenly said the next ones are gonna be in class, so don't believe what he says

Can not even speak English clearly so the language barrier is harder than the class itself. And to make it even worse he doesn't enunciate one bit. Not helpful in anyway and is not clear with the example problems and likes to skip steps. Might as well teach yourself. Tests are your whole grade. Little to no partial credit on test problems

Essentially a self-teach class. He gives little to no partial credit on tests, and leaves condescending comments if you get a problem wrong. Students stop showing up to class and he starts taking attendance and dropping the ones who would rather spend that time actually learning because his lectures are a joke. Plus, his personality is infuriating.

He's not a good professor by any means, but as far as Math 107 goes, it's been incredibly easy. He gives very short tests and all the problems have been from the even-numbered homework problems in the textbook. If you do those, you've got an easy A. Not sure how much of this applies to his other classes, but 107 was a piece of cake this semester.

I truly wish I came here to read these comments before I enrolled. Please trust these reviews as he only got a 2 out of 5. He doesn't speak clearly and is very confusing at times. If he is your last bet then you should try to pay attention every minute of the way.

Makes every student feel bad about the test scores, also sometimes raises his voice and even screams to us.

How is this guy still teaching when has never taught a thing. Ashot should not be a teacher. Gcc needs to find better math professors

he was worse teacher in my life. he wasnot explain clear subject in class. he always thinks in his mind and reviews staff for his knowledge like he has exam tomorrow and prepare for it. his exam was really really hard. it is not in homework. i did 3 times all his homework but nothing similar to tests. don't recommend never and ever.

He is the worst professor I've taken, he doesn't like when you ask questions if you don't understand something. I took precalculus with him and he makes the class feel so dumb, he yells and gets mad/frustrated if you don't understand a step. he isn't clear with his answers. for returning math students I do not recommend taking him.

I guess he needs to take a couple of ESL classes first, the worst teacher ever!

Doesn't explain homework problems in detail when you ask him and spends a lot of time not doing anything when the class begins. And also really stingy with partial credit on test problems. If you care about your grade and want to feel like you've learned something at the end of the semester, do NOT take his class.

Wastes a lot of class time taking breaks or joking around. His explanations rarely help. He gives points for homework, which is nice, but there is too much homework. Not enough time to complete tests. He is usually in a bad mood. If you are the kind that struggles with math but succeeds by hard work and practice instead of talent, beware.

Heavy accent, hard to understand what he's saying at times. He can be very rude and condescending towards students, and very easily irritated. He makes you feel stupid for asking questions..

LITERALLY THE WORST PROFESSOR. has an accent, on top of that, mumbles through his lectures. CONDESCENDING towards students, when you ask a question, his responses are very rude, makes you feel dumb for asking. DOES NOT allow use of Statcrunch unlike every other stat professors. DOES NOT provide formulas for tests but gives generous partial points.

He is the worst teacher. he wastes lots of time taking breaks and his joking. His lectures are no more explanation, so you will hard to understand what he's talking about. when you ask a question in his office time, he will answer are very rude and impolite. I guess he doesn't like some guy to disturb him out of class time.

He is the worst teacher. he wastes lots of time. Really hard to understand what he's talking about. Don't take it. you will regret big time.

If you have ANY other choice, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS. Tbh, he knows math, but he doesnt know how to teach. Lectures (in-class and online) were both horribly heavy, boarding and confusing Grading was so unreasonable Forget about using canves and get ready for a lot of HW In any situation you take this class, you will regret it PERIOD.

-Technologically inept -Teaches everything by hand, so you waste time with math errors and don't learn actual concepts -General disdain for students and answering questions -Impossible amount of hw -Classist and off-hand comments Tips to pass his class? Learn to use a graphing calculator and get a tutor now to answer questions and explain things.

ill probably still get an A, but man this guy sucks at teaching. His accent isnt too bad, but its literally so hard to comprehend what hes talking about. Its honestly easier to learn through the textbook. I dont even ask him a question, because Ill just be more confused. Tip, mute the zoom call and just learn it yourself and do the hw. Seriously

Seems like he hates teaching, and students. Asking him questions is seen as a bad thing. Needs a career change; If you're looking for a good math professor, find someone else.

I literally made an account for rate my professor just to warn people to not take this professor. Absolutely the worst professor I have had. If you ask a question he gives attitude. I had to resort to teaching myself every lesson from the textbook. Terrible teacher, terrible attitude.

Please do yourself favor and not take his class. He can hardly speak English; believe me each of us would have taught better than him. He is so rude, an doesn't take you all hard work into account. There many teacher that you'd better take them than this professor, doesn't explain the class well: just HORRIBLE. Lack of English skills and math skill

This dude gives like 100 problem a week for summer session. Exams take at least 2 hours he gives 1 hour 30mins just horrible.

This guy absolutely does not care if you pass or not! He blamed the students for taking a hard class in summer and should've known the consequences when asked why he only gave 1hour15 min on a 1:45-2 hour test. You barely understand what he's saying half the time and he gives 15-20 hours of homework for each week of class.

If this website allows me to give a 0, I would. Heavy lecture with unclear instructions, terrible attitude when questions are asked, loads of homework only for 5% of the class, not enough time for the weekly test.. about ten out of 25 people dropped and to be honest if you have him right now, drop it and get into a waitlist if you can. It's bad.

Isn't very passionate about what he is doing, very difficult to comprehend, and lectures are not very comprehensive. This is a difficult class itself and it is not worth making it any harder.

He's the worst professor ever, actually he doesn't deserve the words" professor", he doesn't know how to teach he's better not teach at all! He's SUCKS!

If you want to waste your time, you can take his class. He explains badly, during the class he loses(plays) time without explaining the topic.

Worst online class teacher that I have ever met. In his remote class, he doesn't use Zoom, he uses some unbrand remote software. Moreover, his camera is substandard that always can not clearly display what he writes. he like saying some jokes he thought were funny, but it is not fun. NO POWERPOINT, WORST DEVICE, WORST EXPRESSION, GARBAGE TEACHER.

the absolute worst professor at Gcc. makes it impossible for the highest score of a test to be a C. for some reason he doesn't know how to lecture and give specific reasoning for a topic. I wish I never took him

The professor doesn't like to explain things. He expects you to know everything. The class is also homework heavy, he assigns atleast 30-40 questions from each section of each chapter. You'll do about 150 questions that are due every week.

I strongly advise against taking classes with him as he is the worst math teacher I have ever encountered. He seems to be unwilling to explain the topics thoroughly and does not show any concern about whether his students comprehend the lessons or not. Furthermore, his tests are riddled with tasks that he didn't even bother to explain.

The worst professor I've had in GCC. He's very hard to understand during lectures and homework is graded with about 60-70 questions per section. On top of this he's very strict with his grading and ridicules you if you stop by his office hours to go over the test with him. If he's your only option for calc and you decide to take him, good luck.

Ashot is a good example of just because you're good at something, doesn't mean you can teach it. Lectures are always nonsensible and incoherent. On exams if you don't solve the problem the way he wants you to, it's an instant 0. Its so obvious he's just here for his paycheck and doesn't care about his students. How he's still a professor is a joke.

spends half his time on random stories (some really funny ngl) or roasting students (some funny some racist) and the other half mumbling through the book. Answers some questions well, just ignores some and moves on, Gets upset if u learn on your own instead of going to lecture. Should have taken this at pcc or lavc

Let me preface this by saying I took 2 years of calculus in high school so Math 103E should've been a breeze to me. It was NOT, he gives barley any time on the tests, brags that students drops his class (went from 40 to 10 students), tests averages are always F's. He misses a lot of material for lecture. He is smart but just don't take him.

Should've taken this class at PCC or LAVC. He mutters thru the lecture, answers half of our questions, then gives a test that is most of the time harder than material in the book. Sometimes he tells us certain topics are gonna be the test, then tests us on the topics he said he is NOT gonna put on it. Does not give enough time for tests.

I drove to this class without a seatbelt, hoping I wouldn't make it to class. This professor mumbles through every lecture, then tests heavily based on what he was mumbling about. Don't even think about asking a question because he will hold some kind of grudge against you for it. Would defiantly recommend if you hate yourself though

An inbred mime could teach this class better than Ashot. Also he pads this page with his own reviews otherwise his rating would be below 1. If you need proof read how hard he glazes himself in the post below.

This instructor demonstrates a condescending attitude towards his class. He appears to place a great deal of importance on his own knowledge while showing little patience or respect for those who are still learning. Rather than encouraging questions or foster a supportive learning environment, he often dismisses and belittles his students.

As a Armenian, this man makes me wish Turkey finished what it started.
