Mr. Stepanyan, keeps his class very interesting and makes the learning process easy and fun. He knows his stuff very well and yes you have to go to class. Make sure to do the extra credits, it helps a lot. Oh and ladies, he is HOT HOT HOT!!!!! So try not to stare at him for too long.
His is somewhat picky about the attendance, but it?s not that bad. I actually learned in his class. And yes his is good looking.
Mr. S, is good. A lot of the questions on his tests are based on the lecture and the definitions in the book. He will remember your name. Do the extra credit it?s a big help. And his cute :) Jessica
This teacher is AWESOME! you do have to work in order to get a good grade. The major hint would be to STUDY the words from all the chapters that will be on test and you will be fine. Do the extra credit to be on the safe side, Ladies he is SUPERCUTE! He makes class easy and super interesting! I earned an A.
Best instructor I had in college. He is funny, keeps his class interesting and makes you want to learn. You need the book for his class, but also take notes. He is young and very good looking. Do the extra credit, it will help.
I enjoyed his class. He is reasonable and will work with you as long as you want to pass. I highly recommend taking his class. I got an A.
He's a pretty cool teacher! Very iNteresting lectures. I enjoyed his class just study the vocabulary because it's important to know the terms other than that very passable with an A take him!
By far the BEST teacher in general ive ever had and definitely the best psychology teacher. If you are serious about psych take this class. He actually talks about his experiences and clients and gives you a very personal view on what being a psychologist is like. Very professional teacher and inspirational as well.
He is very professional and keeps his class lectures interesting. You will actually look forward going to his class, I did. He will do everything he can to help you be successful in class. Good looking too.
super hot
Ok so the guy is hot, kinda, but I hoped to come into this class with a teacher that was more, how can I say, experienced. He reads definitions from the book so most of the time I don't go t class but managed to get at least B's on my quizzes and tests. He is good at motivating his students to continue their education but he needs more teaching exp
Just take him. He is grate, you will learn a lot from his class.
I just finished his class and got an A. He is grate and makes the class interesting.
He is very good. Take him, makes the class interesting and fun. I got an A.

One of the best teachers i had so far. I did'nt know much about psychology, but after taking his class i really like it. He takes his time in making sure everyone understands the subject. I got an A.
Good looking man, well dressed, awesome, and very dedicated to his class
Keeps his class very interesting and fun. You need the book to get a good grade but it's not that bad. One of the best classes i had so far. I agree hi is good looking.
very easy if you pay attention and take notes. he helps you with the vocab if you dont understand. makes sure everyone is clear before moving on. shares interesting stories. pretty good teacher overall.
Great Professor. Intelligent, encouraging, warm-hearted, open-minded, cultivated and good-natured.
Very good teacher. Keeps his class interesting and fun. I learned a lot just by paying attention during class. One of the best college instructors i had, if not the best.

I love this Professor! He added a lot of us this sememster(Summer 12'). Thank you Mr.S. Also he is a caring teacher who goes through the chapters with us and gives lots of examples. I look forward to going to class every day. L.M.
Professor S has a real clear and easy way of teaching. He gives examples for everything so that the term and concept sticks. His tests are from the text and he uses the text throughout the class. Overall great professor!

BEST PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD!!! Mr. Stepanyan was helpful, explained the material very well and gave personal examples of the material. He made getting up on a SATURDAY for class a good experience. Test and homework were reasonable. Take his class!!!
He is amazing!! His class is easy that you just need to remember the def. and them you can pass the class. You just need to do 2 extra credit and one assignment except tests,but you can learn a lot in his class. Take his class!!
He is the best! I hope to take upper class later! He is willing to help students every time and his class is very interesting!
This is a very easy class, just read. I don't remember there being a lot of homework, just an essay or two. The test are straight from the book. he's an interesting teacher with a lot of hand on stories from the field. I got a B.
Professor Stepanyan is a great instructor. He is clear in what he wants and is very helpful. He is not rude nor is super picky. He gives you opportunity to get extra credit and goes the extra mile by reviewing what might go on a quiz/test. I would recommend him!!
This was my first Pschology class,i was still trying to figure out wether i wanted to major in this field. After taking his class i was SO SURE thats what i wamted to do for the rest of my life. I Fell in love with psychology! He made it interesting so it was not hard to pay attention, I loved every single class!! Thank You!
Awesome professor!!! He is super hot:) and very knowledgeable in psychology. He teaches well and makes class very interesting. Highly recommended.
Awesome instructor!! Study definition in the book and you'll do well on the quizzes,midterm, and final. He offers opportunities for extra credit as well. I highly recommend Mr. Stepanyan, he's extremely knowledgeable in the field of psychology and best all he's a very easy going person and a Hottie!
I really enjoyed taking this instructor text book is need it and its not pricey u can find it on amazon for $15.00 test are multiple choice learning definitions is a must from book and notes his very hot but very professional funny and has a lot of knowledge my suggestion would be not taking him in short term. Recommended instructor!
He does a very good job at explaing, and brings very good examples. You learn more from him the more you ask questions because he will find a way to tie everything in together. Easy class because he makes it seem easy. He does require you use the textbook, but it's not even hard. His dedication is admirable. Very good fashion sense btw.
Study all the definition in the book, the exam is all about definition
His class kept me awake. Lectures are very interesting . Must know your definitions to pass his test.
He's a very good professor and if you put the effort its an easy A. He pretty much covers everything that's going to be on test on the lectures . So if you pay attention and take good notes there's no way you can fail his class.
Read the book and you'll be fine. His lectures are filled with interesting anecdotes from experience in the field.
Best professor I've had so far for my first year. :-) Interesting and hilarious lectures. He's very good at explaining things and making it clear for everyone who does not understand. I guess you can call him a "cool" professor. No regrets taking his class! :D
Took Proff. Stepanyan for winter quarter & I loved his class! He gave a lot of extra credit opportunities, which was greatly appreciated. Very helpful, breaks down informationgives many examples to better comprehend what is being taught. & knows exactly everything when it comes to this field of study!. Totally worth it, MUST TAKE THIS CLASS (:
Love this teacher! I would definitely recommend him. Prof. Stepanyan is a really cool professor, his lectures are very interesting, you never felt bored in his class. Took him during winter, there's test every week. Test are all about the vocabulary, so just study and you will do fine. There's are also no homework but extra credit.
Professor Stepanyan gave really good lectures and shared his experience in relation to whatever subject he discussed. The tests he gave were fairly easy, just study your notes or the textbook and you should be fine! He did gave extra credit opportunities and will help you out in class if you need it.
The quizzes, midterm, and final are based on vocabulary words, very simple. He is very clear on what he's explaining. He has tons of interesting and amusing stories. He is also very motivational. Overall really easy class. Only thing that threw me off is the fact that the final was very simple but either way received a C as my final grade.
One of my favorite professors at ELAC. Just memorize the definitions from the textbook and you will do fine. There was also a six page assignment. I always look forward to going to his class. Plus he also gives extra credits. Took him for Psych 001 and Psych 041. If his class is open then you are very lucky.. :)
Had him for Summer and went over 26 chapters in 5 weeks. Traditional lecturing from the book. Know your definitions for the tests--majority of the test are definitions with a sprinkle of conceptual questions. He gives you a lot of extra credit DO THEM!! Don't misjudge his monotone voice for a boring personality, he's hilarious and very intelligent!
Stepanyan is quite knowledgeable. He is open to questions & likes participation. He is willing to share his own experiences in the field and gives practical examples after explaining theory. He does not have a booming voice, so you might need to sit up front. He teaches primarily by following the textbook. Not welcomingapproachable, but not scary.
Took it summer 5 week course and covered 25 chapter and included 3 papers, 2 of them were extra credit. I had so much extra credit points all I needed was a 60 on my final. I passed with an A! You definitely need to know your vocab other than that he doesn't care if you skip class. Half the class was absent but during test day everyone showed up
One of the best professors I have taken! My first psych class but been at Elac 4 years. He is great! & he can be pretty funny. Very understanding guy & will do whatever he can to help you pass. Highly recommend.
Know the vocab and you will pass the tests. Will give extra credit assignments, really wants his student to do well and will try his best to help you out. Would take again! Ask questions, participate and enjoy his class!
Great professor that explains all the material that you'll need. Very vocab heavy lessons. Has an armory of stories to tell to the class that in my case helped me learn about the terms. Took winter class so attendance was important.
I took psychology with professor Stepanyan and he truly is a great professor. His tests are not difficult and they are largely based on vocabulary. His class was very interesting and he shares very interesting stories regarding his job. He is also very inspiring and truly wants the best for his students. Best professor I have had. Highly recommend.
Taking his class lead me to fall in love with psychology. His examples were great. I felt that students easily related to them. It's real life examples which is why it added more ideas when discussing the topics. Professor S. is very kind and funny too. He is intelligent and knows what he's talking about. He will offer extra credit & wants to help
Bio psych is not the easiest class. However, Prof. Stepanyan makes it easy to understand, as he gives great lectures that include examples one can relate to. Taking his class sparked an interest in me to learn more about clinical psych. He's a fair grader and does give extra credit to help students.
Great professor! Teaching style is never boring, students get to learn about themselves within the subject course. Prof. Kevin Stepanyan, is very down to earth, exciting teacher to learn from. After taking his class, I became more interested in the subject of psychology, will look forward to taking more of Prof. Stepanyan's classes.
Amazing professor, he tells a lots of stories, really fun class, gives good examples and also gives 2 extra credit. Test are easy, as long as you do your work and review all the vocab, you will get a "A" in his class.
He teaches by the book (it's DEFINITELY required), but his experience as a psychologist allows him to give great examples during his lectures. There's 1 assignment all semester, and it's an informal 5 pg report. Just follow the criteria and he'll give you full points. Tests are all multiple choice and very straight-forward. He's a great professor!
Took him during winter. Great Professor. Soft spoken sometime so sit in the front if you wan to hear him. His class is straight up lectures no Powerpoint. Really passionate about psychology and give really good examples base on his experiences. He can look intimidating but really funny. Study the vocabs and do the extra credits then you are good.
I'm in love with this professor, he is so cute and makes class worth attending3
I took his class during the winter session and although those classes are more fat paced it was fairly easy. Taking notes are essential because what he says in his lectures appears on the tests. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to take psychology to take it with him.
Great Professor who keeps the class interesting, reflecting on his own personal experiences. Make sure to review all terms he provides and take advantage of extra credit he offers.
I love this professor! If he taught other psych classes, I would take his class in a heartbeat! He's also really inspirational and super passionate about what he does! During his lectures, he likes to bring in personal experiences and it's really interesting! TAKE HIS CLASS. You won't regret it! I know I didn't.
This is the best class I have taken so far in college. The professor is amazing and really teaches in a way that makes students pay attention. His very funny and makes class fun every time. The only homework is to read the chapters on the textbook. All the exams are just vocabulary so make sure you study the words. I def recmm taking this class.
Dr. S is an extraordinary professor by all means. It is evident, from the nature of his lectures, that he is passionate about his work. His lectures are not only informational, but also inspirational and full of real-life examples. If you are able to take a class with Dr. S, I would HIGHLY recommend doing so as he truly cares about his students.
took this for summer 2018, one of the easiest and best class i have ever taken. class consists of two quizzes, one midterm, and one final. gives lot of extra credit. the homework is an informal 5 page essay. take him and you will pass.
Took him summer 2018. Lots of extra cred! Dr. S explains things with real life examples and his own stories and experiences so he makes it really easy to understand certain concepts. He's also really funny too so you won't get bored in his class. Tests and quizzes are mostly vocab so if you pay attention in class and take notes you'll get an A
one of the best teachers i have ever taken . Makes you more conscious about life. Gives perfect examples. Makes you love psychology . Easy class if you show up everyday and pay attention.
Dr. S is such a great instructor. He is extremely professional about his work. His lectures are not boring as he includes personal experiences. He is very sweet and gives extra credit. If you miss class you might miss something important as he mentions specifically what will and will not be on the test. Highly recommend!
He isss super funnnnyy and makes the class so intriguing he relates the lectures to real life experiences/examples. He doesnt really give alot of homework. He makes class so fun because he is so passionate about his field of expertise. He really cares and wants to make sure you are understanding his lecture. My1st yr here & hes already my fave!!!!!
Dr. S can probably make anyone like psych! His lectures were always interesting b/c he included personal experiences. Super funny too! 2 quizzes and 2 tests (midterm/final). Only hw was 1 very short paper. Gave 2-3 opportunities for extra credit. Just take good notes, pay attention + read chapters and it'll be an easy A. Highly recommend!
Amazing professor!!! Great personality and you learn so much. I would recommend everyone to pick him.
He is one of the best professors I have ever had! His lectures are so interesting and inspiring. You can tell he is so passionate about his field. The class is pretty easy, everything on tests is covered in his lectures. Be sure to take good notes & STUDY! No HW, just 1 short paper. Gives lots of opportunity for extra credit.
Dr. S is a good professor. He goes over what you will need for the test in class, but you will need to read. Tests are based off of book definition. Gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. One group project and one paper. Gives great examples on subject and how he sees these areas in his field of work.
Professor Stepanyan, is an amazing indiviso! He cares about his students and makes lecture interesting. Hes straight forward with what he expects from his students and is fair when it comes to grading. I truly recommend him.
Best professor I have EVER had, pinky swear. After a long day at work he had me looking forward to class. He doesnt read off the textbook he teaches (wow I know) he has be second guessing if maybe I should major in Psychology. Just pay attention and youll pass!! I miss his class already :(
He is a very good teacher. He made the subject very interesting, peppering in stories from his work in the field. Some of this is almost haunting. Take good notes. From those notes, study the book definitions. His tests are worded the same as the definitions in the margins of the textbook, along with some diagrams. I took it in the summer.
He's by far the best Professor I've ever had. He's down to earth, I didn't want to miss one minute of his class that's how interesting it was. He's actually pretty funny as well. Very professional, you won't regret taking his class. Study, take notes and you will be fine. He gives you the opportunity to approach him if your score are low.
He inspired me to do my best not only in his class but also in life. He gives good life advice. Totally would take him for more classes. One of my favorite professors at ELAC
Best professor in my opinion. The class seemed so easy because he is such a good teacher. I felt so free to ask questions and throughout the course moved my seat to the front of the class. I definitely recommend him for psych 001!!
He's the reason I changed majors and I am now transferring as a Psych major. I wish he taught more psych classes. Traditional teaching from the textbook. He is very knowledgable and funny. He gives you personal experience as it relates to the subject. Need to show up to class, you will miss on a lot for one day. Do the extra credit he gives!
Took this as an asych class. The work is straight forward and the tests wont catch you off guard.
I cried during our last class because he is such a caring and amazing professor who genuinely cares for his student's wellbeing. The workload is easy and he makes the class enjoyable by telling stories of his actual patients. The lectures consist of powerpoints and open discussions which made the class highly enjoyable. His humor is a plus :)
LOVED his class! I looked forward to it every Mon-Thurs. He helps you understand better by giving examples. Shares stories of real situations. Gave us great advice. I really respect this man! Take his class! You will NOT regret it!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Doing class online has not been so fun for me but Professor Stepanyan made it so interesting and made me actually want to attend the class because of the great lectures. His class is very informative and his assignments and quizzes will be easy if you pay attention to the powerpoints, him and the textbook! TAKE HIS CLASS!!
One of the best professors Ive ever taken, professor Stepanyan made the material easy to understand by using real life situations/examples in his lecture. He was also very friendly & straight forward with the grading, assignments, and due dates in the class. He was very professional & showed that he mastered the concepts he teaches.
I'm a nursing major and my classes are starting to get a little more difficult to the point of considering dropping out, this professor has really motivated me to keep going. I took his psychology 041 class, he is very straightforward and open, up until we ask conflicting questions (which is totally understanding) I really enjoyed his class
Super easy class so glad I took it with Dr. Stepanyan! Highly recommend other students to take his class!
Loved Professor Stepanyan's class very informative and inspirational. Always looked forward to his class, learned so much and loved the way he always used real life examples of his patients or practice. Listen to the lectures and take notes. He gives quizzes for the chapters. Participate and work hard! Good luck!
I loved taking Professor Stepanyan's class. There's a class textbook, but you don't have to get it. He explains everything you need to know in his lectures and even uses real life examples he's faced. The quizzes and discussions were all about the lectures so just make sure you listen and take notes. I suggest taking him; good luck :)
He is truly one of the best professors at ELAC. I have taken him for 2 classes total and he is great. Not much work, just reading the power points that have all the information that will be asked during exams. No home work really, just discussion posts weekly, exams, and a final paper due. I really recommend him!
Dr. Stepanyan was great. His class was very detail oriented & made sure students knew the needed material. There was tests about 2 or 3 chapter at a time but should be pretty easy if you actually do your work. I passed this class with an A & will definitely take Dr. Stepanyans class again!
He's the best professor I've gotten for Psychology 001. He's lectures are interesting and learn a lot through out the semester. The exams are simple and straight to the point. Overall Best professor to take for psychology if you truly want to learn.
Class is pretty straight forward. This was an asynchronous class, so all discussions, quizzes, and exams were done online. All exams are timed, but plenty of time given. All exams are open book. There was one term paper, which was about yourself. Very organized, informative, and interesting class. Do reading, and exactly as he says and its easy A
I wish I could take his class for future psychology classes. look forward going to his class, he has a great teaching ability. Recommend taking this class if you are looking for a psychology 001 class will not regret it.
He's just amazing, so very passionate about his lectures. You just need to listen and understand what he talks about. Every class session he just wants you to complete an assignment of what you learned in his class. If I could take this professor again - I would. Even if you have to do papers also - it's interesting topics. He grades fairly too!
He makes psychology very easy, it almost made me want to switch majors. I enjoy being in his class he is very detailed about the chapters. Exams are done online. There is 1 term paper but it is not to bad he is not a tough grader. He also has discussion every week about the what we learned during the week.
Dr. Stepanyan explains his class very well, each week he only leaves a 350-word discussion in which you only have to explain what you found interesting or something new that you learned, the quizzes are based on the presentation(slides) study those and you'll be ok, the quizzes are multiple-choice!
Dr. S is a amazing professor best lectures and makes the class very interesting has many great example and make sure you understand what he is explaining
very easy-going professor loved the conversations and how well he answers every single question . do your work and you'll def pass!
Amazing professor, shows care for his work and field of study. Makes sure you understand the lecture and talking points. Answers all questions with knowlegde, insight. I respect him a lot, he may seem strict, however if he sees you work hard pouring your soul into studying there maybe cnaces for extra credit/ free credit. Lectures are top tier.
Taking Intro to Psych online is the easiest course I have had. I love how easy to keep up with his class is. Super organized with his modules, he gives you a week to complete a quiz. Just take notes from the lecture, do the weekly discussions, and have those notes ready for the quizzes! At least, this has been my experience in his online class.
