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!

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 :)

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

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.

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!

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

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!

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.
