People would say hes tough on his students and he is because he is the only teacher that wants you to LEARN not jut memorize. He wants to create great nurses. He is very knowledgeable; he makes a great Mentor. His quizzes are based on his lecture and also some book, so you need to read and not skip class or you will miss info that will b on quiz

Amazing professor, he really cares about the nursing world and wants to see everyone succeed.

Every word that comes out of his mouth is valuable. Not only for weekly quizzes but for your nursing journey. He is the best ever effortlessly. So thankful for having him as my professor. I love you professor thank you for all that you do for your students!!!!!!!!!

Professor Mirzayan is a very knowledgeable instructor who tries to prepare students to be great nurses. He treats students with respect and expects the same in return. He has high expectations of his students because he knows that discipline is required to be a great nurse; both empathetic and competent. Would take again!

Awesome instructor and very knowledgeable. His lectures are to the point and real-life. Visual learners don't learn from power points they learn from watching videos. Its reciprocity give respect to get respect.

He is the best nursing professor that I have ever had. I have never learned so much during any rotation than I have with Garen. He is so caring towards his students and patients and is really respected by all who have come to know him. Listen to everything he says because you will be a better nurse and a better person for it.

If you are gonna take physical assessment take it with him. His professional background is incredible. His lectures make you want to learn more. It requires work but prof is always available and helps with any questions. Take his class.

Honestly, I have no idea why people complain about professor Mirzayan!? He is one of the most caring professors Ive ever had! He actually wants to help you to succeed. I learned SOO much from him! He actually takes time to talk to his students rather than looking over you! Whoever is complaining REALLY didnt try! Take him You wont regret!

Prof. Mirzayan is amazing.. He doesn't use power points, but he teaches you great without them. He is entertaining and doesn't bore you to sleep. Not having the power points is actually great cause it actually HELPS you pay attention. He gives a lot of great hints during his lecture, and he actually teaches you how to apply theory to real life!

I thought this class was a good learning experience. I was able to access powerpoints on blackboard, so I am not sure why some people didn't have them. I found Professor Mirzayan to be easily approachable and willing to help with questions and concepts. I would definitely take again.

Professor Mirzayan is very knowledgable and does care for his students. He does come off as intimidating but only wants the best for his students. He does not allow students to record lectures or take notes with their laptop. He is straight forward and focuses on critical thinking. Listen to his lectures, participate, and show respect.

i've visited many professional nursing instructors, and just want to say Professor Gary Mirzayan, is one of hot shot instructor in both theory and clinical site , fortunately i had class with real master nursing instructor who were available to teach and guid and correct our practice all the time of clinical professionally. i recommend him %100

i've heard his lecture is so useful in theory class, but i've got clinical site advance med surge which was so professional and high end of practice , he was available all the time to ansewer respectfully and he invite us to analyze and connect status of client (SBAR) to approach best result . he is awesome clinical instructor .

Professor Mirzayan was an inspiration to me. He taught us so many ways to be kind and caring nurses. He prepared us for nursing by lecturing on the importance of critical thinking. He is big on that. His lectures were taught in an organized manner and I felt as though his tests were tough, but I could have done better with more studying.

I thought this class was difficult, but it's because the material was tough. Lots of reading and lots of lecture notes. The professor's style of teaching was suitable to my learning style because he didn't focus the entire lecture on power points. I would take again.

Professor Mirzayan made clinicals challenging. You better know your medications and pathophysiology! He expected us to ask questions and to clarify things we weren't sure about. Overall, I learned more from this clinical than any other I have had. I feel more confident in myself as a nurse after having taken this professor.

I had professor Mirzayan for PA and clinical and hands down the BEST professors at WCU. People may say he is hard but he isn't, he is challenging in a good way! He is preparing you to be a nurse who needs to critically think! He pushes you to see the whole picture. Nursing is not just about starting an IV or giving out meds.

Prof. Garen is EVERYTHING ��He Has an amazing spirit and always want to see his students succeed. Hes an advanced level RN/NP. He pushes his student to success, if you fail, that means that you did not try. He sees more in his students than they often see in themselves. You can go to him with any issue, and he will be your advocate. Must take !��

Professor Mirzayan has got to be one of the MOST caring and inspirational professors I have in all of nursing school. Its because of his dedication to teaching & his dedication to his students that has made me the nurse I am today. He taught me the importance of blending knowledge and compassion. He pushed me to succeed & provide excellent care.

There are two types of professors. Those that regurgitate off power points and have you teach yourselves off a book and those who who can genuinely teach and motivate without power points through mastery of the subject. Garen Mirzayan is a professor who will teach you though his years and mastery of being an experienced Nurse and NP.

Professor Garen is a well respected professor and I do admire his hard work and his passion to teach students. He taught me a lot of things during my clinical rotation and I wish I had him for theory classes. If you really want to be a knowledgeable and a well trained nurse, please do take him.

Professor Garen's class is not an easy A, like most students expect it to be. If you take good notes and review the topics in your textbook, you will be able to understand his exams. He can tough at times, but warm and considerate as well. Take Professor Garen if you want to learn how to provide proper patient care.

I had the opportunity to take Professor Garen for clinical and he was an AMAZING professor! He helped me improve my critical thinking skills and showed us that nursing is not just about passing medications. He was always so approachable and was ALWAYS willing to answer questions. I know professor Garen wants his students to become great nurses.

Professor Mirzayan is an amazing instructor. He was always willing to teach and talk to us when we had questions. He is so knowledgeable! He taught us the importance of the science behind everything but also about implementing the human element that many forget to implement in nursing. He is the best professor I've ever had. 100% recommend!

Do not believe in the rumors. Professor Mirzayan was a great instructor and gave great feedback during my clinical rounds. He definitely set the bar high and wanted his students to be knowledgeable of what they could be walking into. He was always available for questions and knowledgable of what he taught me.

Mirzayan was my favorite instructor during my time at West Coast. I can only speak from having him for clinicals as I did not take his class for PA/lecture, but he was incredible. He is extremely knowledgeable and wants all of his students to go on to become amazing nurses. If you want to level up and pass your NCLEX... take Mirzayan!

Pay attention in class. He hates side chatter & will actually make the quiz harder if people arent paying attention. I loved the class so had no issues, but its seems like other people just wanted an easy A. You will work for it, but it is worth it. Dont you want to be able t walk into a room and know a diganosis without looking at the chart?!

Professor Mirzayan is one of the top 3 professors at this school in my opinion. He actually cares about you becoming a top notch nurse. He doesn't just prepare you to pass school, he wants to prepare you for your whole career ahead! I recommend to take his feedback seriously! If you care about your future you take him!

Professor Mirzayan definitely raises the standards once you get to his class. This is the class that made me feel like I was actually preparing to become a nurse. He will ask the tough on the spot questions and keep you on your toes. But it only makes you better prepared for next time and more confident in what you know.

He is a VERY knowledgable professor and definitely wants his students to succeed. He is a wealth of knowledge. Definitely a class you want to pay attention to! He will prepare you for when you get to the bedside! If you take your career seriously, you will take him seriously.

As a working RN now looking back on my course with this professor, I can honestly say I was lucky to have had him. He taught in a real world sense unlike others & this really benefited me as new RN on the floor. I didn't go on to the floor feeling I'll prepared but rather prepared due to his teaching. He wants you to learn & be the best & it shows.

Mirzayan is the professor you should take if you want to become a great nurse. He is tough on the learning, but that is what is most important when attending nurse school. He is very compassionate. I was not even worried about the possibility of my A- turning into a B+ because what I got out of his class was worth more than a letter grade.

One of the best professors I've ever had. Super high expectations but we are training to be nurses so this is exactly how it should be. He is extremely knowledgeable. You will learn more from him in 1 day than a whole term with other lousy professors (Personal experience). Not an easy A or easy Pass but if you do your work you will have no problems

Mirzayan was by far my favorite instructor at West Coast. While I did not have him for PA/lecture, I had him for clinicals and he was amazing. He wants all of his students to pass, and doesn't mind answering questions when you're stuck. I recommend this prof to any student who truly wants to learn and become an amazing nurse.

Professor Mirzayan is a great instructor with so much knowledge to share. He is available to answer any questions in a timely manner and provides clear feedback of what is expected from his students. I enjoyed the opportunity to be in his class and I feel prepared for what lies ahead of me.

Study, read, and take good notes. This professor gives solid instruction with informative lectures. He was available for questions after class and through email.

Professor Mirzayan was a good instructor. His lectures were interesting and fun. He was kind and caring and he made the class fun. Lots of reading and practicing techniques on family members. Read and ask questions and you will be fine.

I enjoyed this class and this professor. He was serious about nursing and he wanted us to give our best. He provided good feedback and helped us to feel comfortable and confident in our nursing abilities. He was easy to communicate with. He encouraged us to ask questions.

I thought that this professor was so helpful and kind. I found that he was always approachable to ask questions; in fact, he preferred that we asked. His passion for the field of nursing was evident in his lectures and in his teaching. I would definitely take him again.

Although there were times that I felt Garen was being tough on me, I realize that it was for my own good. He cares enough about his students to make them work for their grades. His class may have been tough for me, but it was worth it.

Prof. Garen is awesome . He will bring the best out of you. He only wants you to succeed . Im now ending my public health term and going into advanced medsurg and he a professor Ill always be in contact with . Some may say hes strict but he only makes you a criticism thinker, you wont be just a basic nurse . You will be a magnificent Nurse.

If you care about giving quality patient care, take Professor Mirzayan. I felt a little nervous about taking his class, but he was helpful and always available to explain process and procedure. He was easy to communicate with and he made this class a good learning experience.

I dont understand the negative reviews! its from students who didnt listen to professor M and didntt read the book like he said we would need to! Its a short simple book and not hard to read. Follow directions or do bad, but dont be bitter. He seems harsh at first but if you read the book, do the practice exams, you will pass.

Was apprehensive to take NURS 190 with this Professor however I am so glad I took it with Professor Mirzayan. Professor Mirzayan sets clear expectations from day 1. His lectures prepare you for quizzes and also teaches you how to critically think which most professors don't do. Read the book, take notes, and study and you'll have no problem.

I'm not sure why the reviews were so bad but Professor Mirzayan is one of the best Professors ive come across at WCU. YES he does seem very intimidating at first but he is only like that to prepare you to be the best nurse possible. If you listen to his lectures he will tell you exactly what you need to know for your exams.

You are going to hate him at first. You will need to READ THE BOOK, PARTICIPATE, and LISTEN WORD FOR WORD in lectures. By week 4 you start to like him a lot and realize he is very knowledgeable and passionate about this profession. You will learn A LOT from him. It's not an easy class at all but it's information you will retain forever.

I read so many bad reviews about this professor so I did not want to take the course with him however I am beyond grateful i did. He really cares about our education and he will make sure you know all the info. He has an intimidating personality which is what scares most students but you will really learn alot from him I ended the course with an A

I learned so much in his class but this was definitely the hardest class I've taken thus far. Read the book!!! Your test grades depend on it. His lectures tell you what to focus on for the test. If you look past some of the negative comments he makes, he really is a very smart nurse and has a passion for what he does. You can learn a lot from him.

At first, you will not like him, but when you get to know him and the things he expects from you he will be someone you are looking to be like. He is VERY SMART, expects a lot from you, and is a tough grader, but I learned A LOT from him and I am glad I took him. PLEASE take the first quiz seriously and READ the book, focusing more on pathology.

He will mold you into a competent nurse if you pay attention in his class. He is the best professor at WCU who is knowledgeable about a topic and does not read off of a Powerpoint. Do not expect to get an easy "A" from him if you do not put the work in. The best and only way to succeed in his class is to READ THE BOOK. NO SHORTCUTS. Period.

Professor Mirzayan takes the students to the real nursing world. He is going to teach you whatever you need for your future career. You just have to pay attention to whatever he says in the class. Take good notes. Whatever comes out of his mouth is going to be in your test. I can promise you that he is the best physical assessment professor.

While you will be required to read the text and pay attention in class, Professor Garen will teach you some excellent skills you can use in your future career as a nurse.

He does not have power points but if you write down his notes he writes on the board, listen while taking notes in class you will know every answer to his quizzes. He is great at teaching and his lecture are great. He cares about his students. If you participate you'll make it even better for yourself and you'll learn more.

Everything I didn't learn in funds and medsurg I learned here. He knows that most professors just read off slides so he decides to only lecture and use his board which helps you actually learn about the topic. If you take notes on what he says in class you will pass easily, I barely studied and got at least a B on every test.

Professor Mirzayan is very smart and a good professor. He is very respectful with students, explains concepts very well, and brings real-life examples which help to remember better. Don't believe bad reviews and take his class. you will not regret.

Listen to every word of his lectures and read the chapters! He is very difficult but you will learn a lot, he test you on what he lectures so if you pay attention you will be okay. Intimidating but if you put the work in you can pass.

Dr. Mirzayans class was one of the best classes I have ever taken, he is very knowledable and you will learn a lot from him. He goes by the book and his lectures are all you need to be successful in his class.

Professor Garen is really knowledgeable and cares for his students. He really is there to instruct you on how to be competent and confident nurse. His lectures are engaging and he uses real life examples. Everything I didn't learn in intro to med surg, I learned in his class. Just listen to what he lectures about and read the book- you'll succeed!

Tough love, kind of professor. You can tell straight off the bat that he is knowledgeable. He gives AMAZING lectures! I learned the most from him throughout nursing school and would gladly take his class again. He is straightforward with what he expects from you. Do your part as a student, and you will thrive in his class.

Hes the most authentic professor you will come across. Take notes off the board. He does care, he wants you to pass/succeed. He can seem abrasive but hes passionate about teaching, he actually teaches vs reading a piece of paper. Get the book, read the book, critically think. I wish he taught more classes. The best!

one of the best professors I've had. Extremely knowledgeable and wants you to learn the information. He will definitely make you a better nurse by the end of the course. get the book pdf and study the information he provides on the board and you'll be solid.

Professor Mirzayan is very knowledgable and caring! The tests are based on his lectures. Make sure to take a lot of notes during his lectures. I would highly recommend Professor Mirzayan

On the first day of lecture, I judged Professor Mirzayan and felt that he was too intense and that his class would be overly difficult for no reason. However, after week 2 and onward, he became one of my favorite professors at West Coast. I didn't expect to learn so much in this class, but he proved me wrong in the best way possible.

NOT an easy A and answers spoon fed to you type of class. Mirzayan pushes you to think critically like a legitimate and respectable nurse in the real world. If ur willing to do your part as a student, you will walk out of his class with a good grade, knowledgeable, and confident with what you know. Read the book, tests come from book and lecture.

I had him for med surg120 and pharm180 and I can say he is the best professor at WCU. Professor Mirzayan makes complex topics easy to understand. Yes I had put the hours in to study, read the book,but thats the point of nursing school. He might look serious but he's always making joke and making people laugh. He will set you up for success!

I had professor Mirzayan for nur120 and he is such a funny and caring professor. He may look serious but he is a light hearted person. You can see the passion he has for teaching. He is worth every penny of the tuition we are paying. I highly recommend him!

If you are looking for an easy grade DO NOT TAKE. If you want to learn, take him. He cares about his students and cares that we learn. His lectures are based on notes that he takes and is everything you need to prepare for the quizzes. His lectures are dense and detailed but he just wants to make sure you know what you are doing.

Anyone who has left a bad review about prof Mirzayan simply was not putting the work in for their grade. He expects you as nursing students to be able to think critically during exams which makes alot of students consider him a "hard" professor. He is the BEST and you will leave his class feeling confident about the knowledge you take away.

I had Garen for Pharm, Med Surg, and Physical Assessment. By far the most knowledgable professor I have met. Tests are straightforward as long as you study. Focus on his lecture and stay focus on what he wants you to remember. He may come off as offensive to certain people, but in the end he wants you to learn. Take him.

He is one of the best professors if you want to learn. He cares that you are a good nurse rather than a good student. Listen to his lectures, and you will do fine. He is intimidating at first but is extremely knowledgable.

Truly one of the best professors at West Coast, idk what all these other people are saying. Listen to his lectures, study his slides and you'll be fine. One of the only teachers here that actually teach, help and care for your success. If I could take him for every class, I would.

Professor Mirzayan is a tough but knowledgeable instructor. His lectures are engaging and cover crucial nursing content. Attend class, take notes, and use the textbook and resources like unstuck AI to succeed. This class is challenging but rewarding.

His lectures were so good and helpful when you going further in Nursing field. But the quizzes are hard and you need to understand the topics deeply. Only thing I like from him is he doesn't want to wasting your time :))

Dr. Mirzayan has been the best professor Ive come across at WCU. Take him for PA!! If theres any way to take him for every class, I would! He teaches you more then any other professor will. He really cares for his students and wants his students to succeed, unlike other professors. Listen to everything he says and study the board.

Pharmacology is a very difficult class. Garen has a strong personality but man will you learn a lot. He teaches what is important in the field. On top of everything, he is hilarious if you can laugh at his "insensitive" comments. He really is a great teacher and shows tough love for his students. Just know every word on his lecture slides!

Professor Mirzayan is such a gem, honestly really caring and a great guy overall, pay really close attention to his lectures , you need to understand what he says in class to understand the notes then fill in all the unknown info using other resources, don't take his jokes personally, his jokes are old fashioned, if you study you'll learn a lot.

Professor Garen is a strict instructor who holds students to high standards and won't hesitate to call you out if you're not putting in the effort. He genuinely cares about his students becoming excellent nurses and encourages true understanding over simple memorization.

Professor Garen Mirzayan made NURS 120 engaging and clear. He explains complex topics in a way that's easy to understand and truly cares about student success. His passion for nursing and teaching shows in every lecture. Highly recommend him!

These reviews are very clearly posted by a group of students who got together that are angry with Professor Mirzayan. Ive taken three courses with this prof and he is the ONLY good professor at this univerity. Get a life, read the textbook, and apply yourselves for those who have anything bad to say. Love you Professor Mirzayan.

I dont understand these bad reviews about Professor Mirzayan. He is an amazing professor. You just need to study and put in effort to get an A. Nursing school isn't easy and you need some common sense to be successful in this school. People who don't do well don't study and he is always willing to help.

DONT LISTEN TO THESE REVIEWS. I wouldve done myself a diservice if i listened to these BS negative reviews. Although Professor Mirzayan comes off as tough, he really cares for his students. He is truly invested in creating good nurses and doesnt put up with BS and giving his students the easy way out like most WCU expect.

Took him for two classes in a row, pharmacology and physical assessment. Everything I know regarding my knowledge in nursing comes from Professor Garen. I wish he can guide me throughout the entire program. Please be willing to sit down and actually study, it is challenging but you'll never forget. I recommend if you are actually willing to learn.

Definitely not for the sensitive peeps, he comes off as intimidating but that's because he expects the best out of his students and every single time I have needed help he was just a message away. I've learned so much and it carried me through my mental health class too since there was a lot of medications involved.

this professor is not for those who are looking for their tests to be be black and white. he is going to involve you using your critical thinking skills and his course was definitley a challenge but you will leave with alot of knowledge and feel accomplished in completing his course. take negative reviews with a grain of salt.

Great professor. Real. Doesn't sugar coat. I've learned a lot. Many reviews said that he belittles his students…he doesn't. He belittles cheaters. But if the shoe fits. I hope he teaches advanced med surg

Take him, he is amazing and knows how to teach a class. Yes you need to read the ati book and put in effort but it is worth it. He makes you think outside the box but his exams aren't challenging if you listen to him, read the book, and maybe watch level up RN. You can pass his class. Do not say negative things about this man, he is a God.

Best professor at WCU. IDK why there is so many negative reviews about him. He cares about his students, is funny, and knowledgable. No one listen to these bad reviews. Everyone on the WCU app talks highly about him. You won't regret taking him.

Prof. Mirzayan is amazing! He doesn't just teach to pass—he teaches you to think like a real nurse. He explains the “why,” connects concepts, and holds us to high standards. If you're just here to inject Botox or open a home health or hospice, he's not for you. He shapes ethical, competent, compassionate nurses.

Professor Garen is an amazing professor. Yes I agree his class can be difficult but nursing is not easy. He prepares his students to be the best nurses they can possibly be. He looks out for his students that he knows put in the work. He is an intelligent person and you can learn a lot from him. I wish I had him for other classes.

Professor Mirzayan is very smart and intelligent. He explains the topics very well if you just LISTEN and PAY attention in his class. His personality is strong, but he doesn't discourage students to ask questions. If you have a weak stomach and can't use critical thinking to take his tests then don't take his class its that simple.

Ignore the bad reviews, this professor is tough, but absolutely worth it. He's clear, passionate, and truly cares if you understand the material. I learned more in this class than any other. The students who didn't like him were just looking to coast and didn't want to put in any effort. If you're serious about nursing, take him!

Look, he's tough because he cares- he wants you to do good and understand. It would be horrible to get to the end of the program and you know nothing lol. He puts his time into his students therefore students should to. He in such a kind person. I would stay behind every time after class if I needed clarification, I attended his zooms.

Best professor you'll ever have. If you can't handle his class, you may not be ready for nursing or the real work challenges that come with it. Nursing is about far more than passing tests it requires critical thinking, resilience, and the ability to perform under pressure.

Dr. Garen is an amazing professor. I've learned so much from him. His lectures and notes are amazing. He shares interesting stories he has over the years of working in acute care. He'll teach you compassion and kindness. I would highly recommend taking him.

Professor Mirzayan is one of the most knowledgeable professors at WCU. I can't accept the negative reviews about him. If you look at the WCU portal, you'll see that all students recommend taking his class. Studying nursing is challenging, and if you can't pass, it's not fair to complain.

Professor Garen is being misunderstood a lot. Students who never had the experience of seeing his sweet and caring side was because they're Snowflakes, Sensitive, and Easily Offended. When Professor says something and sounds mean, they think he's being a jerk and judges him too quickly. The spam of negative reviews are those same sensitive ones.

Prof. Mirzayan is tough but he prepares you well for future classes. He is really sweet and wants the best for his students to become successful nurses. If you pay attention during his lecture and do the modules, you will pass his class. The bad reviews don't reflect him and he is actually one of the few professors in WCU that teaches and cares.

Garen's class is tough because nursing is tough. He holds you to the standards of the profession, not the comfort of the classroom. 1 star complaints come from those avoiding accountability. If you want to be challenged, grow, and actually be prepared for real patients, Dr. Garen is the one you want teaching you.

Great Professor ! You will learn a lot, and he will prepare you for the real nursing world! I took him for two different courses. He loves his job and teaches well!

I am in professor Mirzayan's class now and I have to say that he is the best professor I have ever had. He is so smart and his lectures are amazing. Unlike other professors, he actually teaches you what you need to know! He is amazing and the reviews here seriously don't make sense. I am grateful to be in his class.

Professor Garen is amazing!!! I've learned so much from his lectures! If you get the chance take him! I've taken for intro to med surg and PA with him and have learned so much from him!!! If you get the opportunity take him! You wont regret it!!!!

Professor Mirzayan is the BESTTT professor hands down!! You won't come across a professor as knowledgeable and passionate as him. He cares about his students not just passing the class, but also learning. You will learn so muchhh from his class, if you get the chance DO NOT miss the chance of taking him.

Professor Mirzayan's class is the reassurance that I chose the right path. He made me fall in love with nursing and inspired me to want to learn every single small detail about it. You can truly see how much he loves his profession—it's inspiring to witness how caring, passionate, and dedicated he is toward his students and the field of nursing.

His lectures are GOLDEN. You would want him to teach every subject there is for nursing. Every student needs to at least study under his hands once. He will push you to think critically and inspire you to be the best version of yourself. His energy is unmatched, and his dedication to his students is something you'll never forget.

Professor Mirzayan makes learning feel effortless. He has a rare gift for turning complex material into something clear and engaging. He keeps everyone involved and curious the whole time. You leave class actually remembering what you learned because he breaks it down. If you want a professor who truly makes you understand nursing, def take him.

This professor doesn't just teach — he shapes the way you think. He challenges you to see nursing from a completely new perspective and helps you develop true clinical reasoning. You walk out of his class with confidence, not just memorized facts. Every student leaves stronger than when they started.

Professor Mirzayan's Pharmacology class is truly exceptional. He breaks down complex drug concepts in a way that's easy to understand and actually enjoyable to learn. Every lecture feels well-structured and purposeful — you walk out knowing why medications work, not just memorizing them. He makes Pharmacology make sense, and that's something rare.

Professor Garen Mirzayan is an exceptional educator who goes above and beyond for his students. His passion for teaching and mastery of the subject make every class both engaging and intellectually rewarding. He explains complex topics in a way that's easy to understand and always connects lessons to real-world applications!!!

I've had many professors, but Professor Mirzayan stands out because he makes you care about what you're learning. You leave his class feeling accomplished and more prepared for the real world. He has a rare ability to make you believe in your potential. I'm grateful to have learned from him.

What sets Professor Mirzayan apart is his genuine care for his students. He's patient, approachable, and truly invested in seeing everyone succeed. He takes time to answer questions thoroughly, offers constructive feedback, and creates a positive learning environment where students feel supported and motivated.

Professor Mirzayan runs his classroom with clarity and respect. He sets high expectations but gives you every tool to meet them. His explanations are organized, his examples are practical, and his standards push you to grow as a future nurse. A truly professional and impressive educator.

I don't usually leave a rating but I had to for Mirzayan. He was one of the best professors I've had at West Coast. I learned so much from his lectures! He truly inspires the class with the knowledgable information he has to share. I'm really thankful I got to take Mirzayan's class!

Every class with Professor Mirzayan feels alive! He keeps the room buzzing, keeps you laughing, and somehow turns even the hardest topics into something interesting. You'll never find yourself zoning out — his energy is contagious. If you like learning in an environment that keeps you motivated and alert, take him.

Professor Garen Mirzayan is hands down one of the most inspiring professors I've ever had. He truly cares about his students' learning and success. You can tell from day one that he loves what he does. He's patient, kind, and always willing to help outside of class. I left his class not only smarter but more confident in myself.

Pharmacology can be one of the hardest classes in nursing school, but Professor Mirzayan makes it completely manageable. He explains every concept step by step and makes sure no one gets left behind. You can tell he really knows his stuff; every explanation has depth and logic.

Professor Mirzayan is AMAZING! Super clear, kind, and genuinely cares about his students. His lectures are easy to follow, and he always makes sure everyone understands before moving on. 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!!!

This professor is simply different. Every class is well-organized, clear, and impactful. He explains things in a way that just clicks, and you actually retain the information. You'll walk out smarter, more confident, and wishing every professor taught like him.

Take any class you can with Professor Mirzayan! You'll learn a ton and feel supported the whole way. He's that rare combination of smart, humble, and caring.

Professor Garen Mirzayan exemplifies what great teaching should be. His classes are thoughtfully designed to challenge students while providing the guidance and support needed to succeed. His passion for teaching shines through every lecture. He brings energy, humor, and clarity to subjects that might otherwise seem overwhelming.

Great term with Dr. Mirzayan! He is very straight forward with lectures meaning that you actually learn stuff that matters. He is approachable and will answer ANY question. He does expect high standards from his students because he teaches in a high standard style. Study well, ask A LOT of questions, you will be fine. Also, attend his zooms !!!

Dr. Mirzayan is a challenging yet dedicated professor who truly invests in his students' success. His engaging lectures emphasize critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Quizzes test judgment rather than memorization, so reviewing ATI materials, watching supplemental videos, and practicing questions are key to doing well. Ask questions in class!

You need a LOT of time to study for his classes, I don't reccomend his class for ppl who are working because you need to put a lot of effort into knowing the little details for his tests, cramming last minute isn't going to work for this class,listen word for word during his lectures and use outside sources to better understand the lecture.

Such a knowledgable professor, everyone needs to take him at least once in this school!!
