HE IS ONE OF THE BEST INSTRUCTORS IVE HAD AT SMC. HE IS A VERY EASY PROFESSOR. BEFORE YOU TAKE A TEST IN HIS CLASS HE GOES OVER WHAT THE TEST IS GOING TO BE ABOUT. I RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR. !!!!

The best teacher! I'll never forget his class and always looked forward to going, even though I don't like english. Very open-minded and a really fair grader.

he's a very fun teacher. i like him....

Marakarian is a great teacher! He works around your schedule and will help you when you don't understand something. The first day of school he explained where everything was and the parking situation. He's also very passionate in all the books he has recommended to the class. He's an awesome teacher!

Very good teacher and nice person.I enjoyed his class and I dont even like English.He cares about his students.Don't be afraid to ask questions.I will always remember Mr.Markarian, as one of my favorite teachers.

mr.markarian is a very good teacher !!! He cares very much about the students and also he takes his job very serious . i recomend him for eng he makes an eng class fun

He is an excellent Professor very encouraging to students. He makes the class very lenient. A couple of quizzes on the reading, one big portfolio of homework etc, and the Final all this is towards the end of the semester. Make sure you use him for office hours, really great person to go and visit and take about your academic progress. Take him if y

BESt teacher! he cares a lot about his students. he is very helpful and will make time for you. gives a lot of work, but it's easy. a few easy quizzes, some essays, but he explains everything clearly.

He's gotta be best teacher who's really fair, genuine, thoughful, extremely intelligent and witty. If you aren't able to take his class then I feel sorry for you. He's THAT great...He doesn't torture shy people by randoming calling on them. Never biased or opinionated and helps you look at boths sides of situations.

BEST TEACHER ANYWHERE...A MUST TAKE. Because of this guy i decided to stay at SMC. Never met anyone who cares as much as him. Always positive attitude and never hesitates to help anyone. He will put the student before him. Very helpful. A few quizzes and tests. All you have to do is pay attention. Very smart intelligent man

Mr. Markarian is genuine, kind, and knows his students by name. He cares and wants to help you succeed. Conducts a great class, and he is funny! I met with him today and left his office feeling motivated and very inspired. Mr. Markarian is one of the greatest professors ever.

you think you're doing well in class, but then your grades say something else!

HE IS SUCH GREAT TEACHER, HE MAKES TEACHING FUN AND IS VERY HELPFUL. HE SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS AT SMC.I ADVICE EVERYONE WHO THINKS ENGLISH IS NOT UR SUBJEDCT, TO SIGN IN HIS CLASS HE WILL CHANGE UR MIND!!!!!

best teacher hands down! really teaches you how to write a clear and well-organized essay. great teaching methods. you can tell he loves teaching. a lot of work, but definitely worth it. take him...he really is an amazing teacher!

Mr Markarian is no doubt the best english teacher I've ever had. I looked forward to walking into class each day. He made each student believe that they could do it, and therefore most of the class succeeded.if you do well on all your essays, he will recommed you to eng 1 from 21a. He did that for me! fun essay writing, and few tests: I enjoyed it

He is an excellent instructor and keeps his students motivated by having them participate in interesting class discussions. If you show up to all classes and go by his corrections on your essays, you'll do well. TAKE HIS CLASS! You'll love it

he is so bomb! I took his class fall 07, and it was really cool and funny!

Mr. Markarian, a great man and great teacher. He was my first teacher ever in college. Very helpful, I wish other teachers were as encouraging as him. I think he should maybe be a little more strict on grammar because when you get into e21b its like running into a brick wall. TAKE HIM...

I want you guys to register and trust these comments made here about Prof. Markarian. Positive comments on here are absolutely 100% true. Nobody get's it easy when it comes to English, but with this Profs enthusiasm and helpfulness with his students makes this class all worth taking. Great with the students. I wish he taught English 21B or 1. Too b

I still misss him, he was such an inspiration for all his students to do well including myself. TAKE HIM, you will regret it, i mean look at all these comments, i still miss him

nicest person in the whole universe.....i think obama is cool but markarian is cooler, you feel me??and hes hella easy, he will spoonfeed you everything, real talk! so take him, specially yall freshmen who still have that high school mentality......and immture!

He is the nicest guy, if you miss alot of class or turn in work because of "personal problems" he is totally understanding. Super easy to get along with. Really easy vocab tests, not too many essays, he talks alot and its really easy to get him off topic. You only read one book all semester. If you want an easy class take this guy.

BEST TEACHER AT SMC. EVER. Markarian is the NICEST man ever. And if you don't get an 'A' in this class there is seriously something wrong with you. English 21a is basically just all Malcolm X. There are about 5 essays. A few activities from the Grammar book. Few extra credit opportunities but you won't even need it.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEACHERS AT SMC I LEARNED SO MUCH IN THIS CLASS. HE'S PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD EASY VOCAB TEST MALCOLM X READING AND BOUT 5 TO 6 ESSAYS THAT HELP YOU IMPROVE GRAMMAR AND WRITTING STYLE!! TAKE HIM..SERIOUSLY..U WON'T REGRET IT!!!

MR. MARKARIAN IS ONE THE BEST TEACHER IVE HAD SO FAR.. THE WORK HE GIVES US IS VERY HELPFUL. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF ALL IS THAT HE REALLY CARE ABOUT HIS STUDENTS AND THAT MAKES US FEEL VERY CONFORTABLE. MR. MARKARIAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND I APPRECIATE GOR CARING FOR YOUR STUDENTS!

MR MARKARIAN IS THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD. HE HELPED ME SOOOO MUCH, HE NEVER LET YOU GIVE UP. TOWARDS THE END OF THE SEMESTER I NEVER CAME FOR 2 WEEKS CAUSE I GAVE UP, NOT BECAUSE HE'S HARD I WAS HAVING PERSONAL PROBLEMS, HE EMAILED ME AND ENCOURAGED ME TO COME BACK. I CAME BACK FOR THE FINALS AND I GOT A B. HE REALLY CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS,

Markarian is one of the best english teachers in SMC he really helps students he encourages them including me so i recommend students to take him hes a really great teacher hes the best you wont regret taking him i promise hes the best. ENGl21A

Great teacher I love his class in the begging he might seem a little bit strict about attendance but yet it he don't care. He really goes off subject but its worth it he talks about interesting stuff.TAKE HIMMMMMM! REALLY

MR: MARKARIAN IS THE BEST ENGLISH TACHER I EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE EDUCATION. HE EXPLAINS THE MATERIAL CLEARLY AND VERY EASY. HE IS VERY FUNNT AND NOT HARD AT ALL. TO ANY STUDENT OUT THERE, DON'T HESITATE TO TAKE MARKARIANS CLASS. YOU WILL LEARN ABOUT ENGLISH AND LIFE, HIS CLASS WILL BE UNFORGETABLE. I WISH I HAD HIM IN ALL MY FUTURE ENGLISH CLASSES

This has got to be one of the most caring teachers ever!!! He's such a nice guy and will do anything for his students! Great guy and has funny/cool stories. Class is very easy if you listen to his directions and read assignment. His grading is awesome and tells you exactly where you should improve. Highly recommend him!

HE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE TAKEN AT SMM. HE AMAZING REALLY EASY REALLY HELPFUL NO DOUBT!!!!! HE GIVES REALLY BOMB LESSONS! THEIR FUN AND JUST EASY!

He's a great teacher! he really appears concerned that you get it. He thinks of fun ways to help you learn. I expresses his political views a little much in the class- yet he does teach a lot of history also . I highly recommend him

Great teacher, just an overall great human, he cares about his students and thier work, and is also very professional. I really enjoyed his class, he has funny stories too.

Best professor ever! If you don't pass this class there is something seriously wrong with you. Honestly, I wish he could've taught the higher level English. Overall, a really easy class, enjoyable, and always looked forward to attending.

Supperr easy teacher, but you learn a lot; may not always deal with English but he's definitely the guy with the facts. He teaches with such enthusiasm and isn't a tough grader. He give second chances and ALWAYS has some extra credit opportunity. Very nice guy! If i could i would have him be my teacher for all my English classes at SMC

A very enthusiastic English teacher. His class is very easy and his methods of teaching are helpful. If you don't pass this class something is wrong with you, hes very lenient and gives second chances. If he taught English 1 i would most definitely try my best to get him again. :)

Here is the Best Professor ever i seen in my life. He is easy and plus helpful. I learn a lot and gained experience in Reading and Writing which was very helpful to me to go to next class confidentially. I will prefer everyone to go to his class and enjoy it.

Really easy teacher you should defenitly take his class if you do all of the workand come to class every day and go to the labs you can really pass the class with a passing grade to go to the next level of english. he is a very chill person and you can learn alot about him. if you don't have any late or tardys you would not have to take his final.

The BEST english teacher ever. He's very fun and doesn't make things boring. You'll actually like going to class. Quizzes are a piece of cake if and only YOU STUDY.Participate in class often and he'll notice you. Take him and get that A!

BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD IN COLLEGE. He makes the class enjoyable to come to (3.5 hour class, so its kinda hard to do that) he helps out the best he can, the only way to fail is if you dont show up! I was horrible at english, now im not so bad, and I got an A in his class. SIGN UP FOR HIS CLASS!!!

Hands down BEST professor ever!There no excuse for you not to pass his class. If your not absent EVER you don't have to take the final. & the final is easy is based on the book you guys will read in class. Do all the assignments ! Ace those quizzes VERY easy if you just study! STUDY STUDY overall very nice prof.

An awesome teacher! A class you must take in your freshmen year. My best class yet! He is caring, understanding, and fair. He is intelligent, wise, and knowledgeable. He is a historian and musician. A very nice combination for a teacher of English. He is great at getting you ready for your next step in English and life journey in education.

Honestly, he's the best English teacher ever and truly very understanding. Always there for his students and makes class fun. There should more teachers like him. I recommend you to take him.

One of my favorite professor i had at smc. He makes the class fun and it is a easy A.

he is the best I hate English but he made it so easy to get!

The Best teacher ever! I learned so much in that class. The things I learned in his class I applied to my others. Professor markarian is very helpful and takes time to help each student. He actually cares about his students. That's the type of teacher you should want to have.

The Best teacher at Santa Monica College

Wow! What can I say about Mr. Markarian? He's the BEST teacher at SMC. English is NOT my first language, but he helped me a lot. He motivated me to do well. I wish I could take him again. Anyways, he's an excellent professor. Essays were easy thanks to him! If I passed his class, so you can! 'TAKE HIS CLASS! :D

What can I say about Mr. Markarian? He's the BEST teacher at SMC. English is NOT my first language, but he helped me a lot. He motivated me to do well. Take him, you will not regret it.

Highly Recommend ... He makes reading fun ! You will pass his class and receive an A if you take his class!! Really great person to get to know as well :) He is old but has a young soul. He loves to teach English!

Wonderful Professor. Hands down, one of the best professors at Santa Monica College. Easy A along with learning the material. He makes English interesting and he cares a lot about the students. Fairness sure does come with this teacher. Wish he would of teach Eng 1. Great job!

Markarian is the best English teacher I've EVER had. When I first got into smc, i just chose his class without even knowing if he was going to be good or bad. But he's an amazing teacher and his class is an easy A. Highly recommend him for incoming smc students or any new students to smc.

HE IS THE VERY BEST AT SMC, I WISH EVERY TEACHER WOULD BE LIKE HIM SCHOOL WOULD BE PERFECT PLACE TO BE. HE IS VERY NICE AND HE TALKS ABOUT REAL LIFE ISSUES NOT JUST NONSENSE AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER HE BOUGHT A CAKE TO CELEBRATE WE PASS THE CLASS. WHAT A GREAT TEACHER HOPE HE TEACHES FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

He's a very good professor.

Coolest professor at SMC. His topics are interesting, the class is always fun. You won't regret taking him

He's a very good professor, because of him English is now one of my favorite subjects. Not so many tests

he's a great professor. probably one of the greatest in SMC. no doubt you'll learn something there but you'll get a good grade if you put in the effort. it will all be worth it.

I recommend taking his class, he made english easy for me. His class lectures are based on real life stuff. Gives many extra credit opportunities. no way you can fail his class.

BEST SMC ENGLISH PROF!!!!

It's an easy a however it's easy to fall behind quick. Took him for 85&20 def. recommend ! if you only miss one day of class NO final for you. starts the mornings with a 'did you know'. quizzes are easy, exams? Never really had one but there is 3 essays.

Took him for English 85 and it was great. Beware of the lab teachers. Sydney, a lab teacher, is so up on you. I personally didn't like her because she made you feel insecure of your work! On the other hand, the lab teacher Takisha is very caring. Always helpful. Mr. Markarian is a great teacher overall!

Prof. Markarian by far was far one of the best English professors I ever taken in my life. He is pretty cool and cares for his students. I recommend him 11/10 :)

Professor Markarian is the best!!! He is inspirational and really cares for his students. Really easy class trust me!! There is NO WAY you can fail his class. :)

Great teacher he's caring and fun. Always starts with a Did You Know? Easy A. Helped me with my writing skills and he really cares about his students. Best English teacher, I would take him again. Great topics mostly about politics and whats happening at the moment. You only need to use one book read and you'll be okay .

He's one of my favorite teachers. I really found his class so interesting and he cared about all his students. I learned so much from his class. He helped me become a better essay writer. He taught us things that many students didn't know about like stuff going on in the world. Markarian is the nicest teacher ever. He might even be the best teacher

The most caring professor I've had so far. He starts the class with a Did you know? Which is really interesting because its about the past, present and future so true facts that believe it or not you wont forget. He makes the class fun when he does games.. He's really nice! He truly loves to teach. take him YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!

This is my first year at Santa Monica College and let me tell you. Professor Markarian is one of the greatest Professors I've had. 350 characters doesn't even describe this man. He's an outstanding Professor, caring, really loves to teach, and badass. The class is not easy, you are assigned to do some reading, homework, and essays, but thats colleg

The best teacher! Hands down, I would take him every year if I he was on the roster. He is super nice, approachable, and gives great feedback on areas of improvement. Don't take advantage. He will call you out on the bs. Go to class and participate. Easy A!

Great professor I like the way he's teaches and he cares about his students and I recommend taking his classes, he taught me a lot of new and to be a better writer

Mr. Markarian is such an amazing teacher. He is so caring about his students and making sure they pass. I would definitely take him again 100%.

I WOULD TAKE HIS CLASS AGAIN IF I COULD! He is seriously such an amazing professor! I'm glad I had him for my first ever semester in college, he really made my transition to college amazing. He gives out a lot of info of campus resources, he gives more than enough time for homework and essays. Sometimes gives out extra credit. Gives amazing feedack

He is a really great guy! I would definitely recommend you to take him. He gives out a lot of second chances but don't let that go over your head; he keeps track on each student. He always opens up with a fun fact about certain topics to keep you interested in the beginning of class.

Such a great professor! Really caring,and topics discussed very interesting! He's down to earth and really accessible.
