Best professor ever. It's not the easiest class but she makes it fun so you will actually want to attend class and do the work. You get to rewrite every essay (except research paper) after her evaluation, which makes it almost impossible not to get an A on essays. She is also very helpful and nice (and young) ;)
Ms. Manukyan is one the smartest teachers I have had the pleasure of meeting. She makes class very fun, the assignments are not difficult she makes it real easy to understand the material. I would recommend everyone to take her class. She is the best:))))))))))))))))))))))))))
This is by far the best English teacher I have ever had. Not only is she super cute and friendly but she is more than fair, and very easy if you just go to class you will pass with an A. Our whole class loved her and we were all super close so I HIGHLY recommend her to take, she is amazing.
Attend class, listen, read, and you're golden. Best English teacher ever. Surely a quick high riser in the eng dpt. Shes hot on top of all that.
She is not that easy but ones you know what she want and do your work, you are good to go. She does not beat around the bush, so listen to her, attend class and you will perform like you never did before. Good job ms Lianna. She's prett,young and knows her work. I got what i deserved.
VERY VERY HARD AND CONFUSING. WHAT EVER U DO SHE WILL GIVE U THE SAME GRADE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SEMESTER. DO NOT TAKE HER AT ALL
In one word, amazing. She is very caring very passionate and her class is very interesting. We actually dicussed current issues and broke everything down before every essay so it was easy. She will go out of her way to get you there. All of her essays have revisions. Her choice in liturature is exqusite .... Take her... You will not regret it
Critical thinking and arguing is my forte so it was easy. You have one week to write each paper, then a week to revise after getting it back. The revision policy makes it easy to get an A. She is a critical thinker and changed her mind about a current event after reading one of my papers. But she's still very friendly and outgoing. Wonderful.
She's wonderful, she loves her subject, she's very helpful. Do your part: go to class, participate, write a decent paper and you will have no problems. She uses videos/movie clips/PowerPoint to keep the class interesting. You read and analyze "Pride & Prejudice", people! It doesn't get any better than that. Highly recommend.
Don't listen to the negative comments! She's a great teacher and it's definitely easy to get an A! plus she lets you revise your essays!
I strongly recommend you to take Professor Manukyan's class. Easy class if you put in some effort and you get to rewrite every essay for a better grade. Attend class, participate in class, do the essays rewrites, read the books and articles she occasionally assigns, and don't slack off and you will get an A and you will get better at writing
Wonderful person and teacher ! Go to class she is energetic and makes the course fun.
Do not take her. She does not know even what she wants with her class. She introduced a novel to our class, over 300 pages, two weeks before the end of the semester and then appointed us to write our research paper based on that novel. Take her class if you need to pass with "C".
Cool teacher. Interesting topics. Kind of a lot of writing. She seems to follow some set of specific things to write and talk about so there wasnt much room for random ideas topics writing etc
Need to buy couples books, but you don't read every page, around 2 novels, 1 literature book, total 3-4 essay. you can rewrite the essay for better grade, has extra credit every week, put effort into essays and attend class. easy A. *not a amazing writer with help of extra credit and rewriting essay got A
I love her! very nice! explains everything clearly and topics are fun. do your work and you'll pass
She is a nice person with a great personality. She teaches well, and allows you to revise your work with the changes she wants you to make. Do the work and you cant go wrong. Recommended.
She is a nice person, she is not a very easy greater but overall her class is interesting & if you need a class without stress this is it, I do recommend her!
She has a nice character. She is smiley. She is not a helpful teacher for ESL students. Her explanations are not clear to understand. She is grading tough. She is not an easy teacher.
She is a super hard teacher. No body understand what she said. Do not take her class. She can not teach anything.
She is a nice person, but her class is so hard. Her class subjects are unclear. Even she doesn't know what she wants from students. Don't take her class if you want pass English 101.
Lianna Lianna Lianna, she means well, but her essay choices are boring, particularly the last research paper, a book with fonts no bigger than 9, about an English Family from 1800's. Aghh. She even mentioned how Bad of a feedback she received from her previous class about the same book. Revisions ? you would get very little back.
She dosent pay attention to students. She gives a research project just 2 weeks until the end of semester. She is hard grading as well. Her class is frustrating and disappointing.
Great teacher, learned a lot, highly recommend her.
She's amazing !!!
She doesn't care about students. She isn't a helpful teacher. If you write great essays in a short amount of time then you take her class, otherwise don't take her class.
Don't take her class. She is the worst instructor I have ever had.
She is the worest teacher at gcc. Never take classes with her. Her classes are unclear. Subjects are unclear too.
She is not a good teacher. Dont take class with her.
The worst teacher that I've ever had. unclear class, unclear subjects, and unclear teacher. Don't take her class.
Do not take this instructor. She doesn't care about her students at all. She is a tough grader and her lectures have nothing to do with English.
OHH MY GOD,She is horrible, doesnt explain material clearly enough I warn you will not learn anything on her class, leave everything in you, she doesnt help in office hours too. Like to know base on what knowledge college hired her.
If you wanna get low grade, take her class. Really Really hard. she is not a helpful teacher at all.
She doesn't help students to improve their English. Don't take her class. Stay away from this teacher.
If you sit down, listen, participate & actually read what she asks you'll be fine by the time the research paper comes around you can even email her a rough draft of your paper and she'll give you feedback before you hand in a final copy and on essays she lets you redo them for 5% higher from your original grade she's going to make you work though
The greatest teacher I have ever taken! She is very compassionate and caring when it comes to her students. Whatever questions you have, she is always there to assist and guide you. Yes, you have to work for your A and that's how it should be, isn't it?
An amazing teacher, who takes the time to explain the lesson thoroughly and most importantly makes the class very interesting that you don't realize how time flies. Participate in class, bring up questions to discuss, and simply be ready to the day's lesson; it is soo easy to do. Ms. Manukyan is the best, she is very caring.
She has her own way of teaching and she does not want to understand that it is not helpful for most of the students. In my class 95% of students was disappointed.
She is boring,,really picky,,cant understand what she wants,,bad grader,,the way she grades is horrible she doesn't even give you feed back on how to improve! She made English not interesting. She does not have a good teaching style i didn't learn anything.
The worst English 104 class ever, she is so boring, she has no consistent way of grading, she grades your style, not the grammar or punctuation so it's more about writing like a third grader in college. If at all possible take a different professor, I love English and hated this class. she will make you hate English, research, and writing.
I highly recommend Ms. Manukyan to anyone who wants to get knowledge and the mean time enjoy the class in the friendly environment.
Hands down the BEST teacher I've ever had. Ms. Manukyan is very caring and wants you to succeed. She allows revisions of essays to earn a better grade and she gives great feedback when she returns your essay. Just follow here suggestions on the essay feedback and participate in class and you'll do great. Ms. keep up the great work, you're awesome!!
Do not take this class even if its your only option for the semester. seriously I suggest you wait till next semester and take somebody else. Anybody else!
She is the worst teacher ever. if u really want your GPA messed up then take her. other then that stay the hell away from this crazy teachers class. Grades very hard. Please do yourself a favor and don't take her class.
HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I'VE EVER HAD!!!!!! She is more then helpfully with anything you need. I would get C& D in my high school English classes and because of her I started to receive A's and improved drastically! She is the type of teacher that you actually makes class enjoyable! I never thought English could be so much fun! :D
Ms. Manukyan is horrible teacher. She is not a helpful teacher at all in class and in office hours. Subjects in her class are not clear at all even the native speaker in her class don't understand what she wants. Ms. Manukyan class is so difficult. Her class is so stressful. Don't take her class.
Professor Manukyan is an awesome professor. She loves her students and tries to help them. She also allows revisions which is awesome . I took her for Eng 101, and I am taking her for Eng 102 because she is great .Thanks Professor Manukyan. :)
She is very nice and helpful. Her class is not easy, but you will benefit from it. If you keep up with the assignments, attend the class, and do the work, you will earn the high grades. All these people complaining want an easy A. This is college, you have to work for it. And she is one the best in her department. I recommend her.
I have taken this teacher for different courses and I recommend her.
She is hard!!! She doesn't explain anything, even the grammar, she just gives you the book to read in two days. I don't recommend her.
What i liked about this class is that she allowed revisions on all her essays except the final. 2 in class and 2 out of class and they were fairly easy. The thing I didn't like is she wouldn't go over the essays at all or what she looked for in them, you were basically on your own.
One of the best English profs I have taken. Prof. Manukyan is fantastic! She makes the class enjoyable with her positive attitude and wonderful reading material. She allow revisions and provides you with such detailed and helpful feedback. As long as you show up to class, on time, and keep up with the work, you're golden.
Ms. M is without a doubt my favorite professor that I have ever taken at GCC. I took her for both 101 and 104 and she encouraged me to embrace my love for English and make it my major! Her lectures are fun and easy to listen to. Be prepared for lots of in-class essays, but she allows for revisions and provides excellent feedback.
I don't recommend her she is not teaching the proper page citation plz get another proffesor if you care about other classes Essays. It's junk wow she forgets to put the authors name.
Prof. Manukyan is my favorite prof on campus. I've taken 2 of her courses and am taking her again in the fall. She makes her class very fun and enjoyable. In her 101 class our big group project was to analyze any rap or hiphop song of our choosing. She is amazing. I highly recommend her.
One of the best english classes I have taken so far. I decided to take a class at GCC due to it being unavailable at CSUN. She makes her lessons easy to follow and gives you plenty f time to finish the class readings. There weren't many quizzes and the final was super easy. The only "hard" part of the class were the essays since some were in-class.
Ms. Manukyan is one of the funnest teachers i have ever taken, you definitely learn the subject well due to her passion and she gives students multiple extra credit opportunities. When I noticed her low grade on this website i was honestly amazed.. i got an A with minimal effort
I took her for a summer course everything was fast paced but it was easy to keep up. She really makes the class enjoyable. There was a quiz every other day and around 3 essays and the final was super easy. I don't what it's like for a fall/spring class but I still recommend it.
I've taken Ms. Manukyan for Eng. 101,102,104 and im absolutely bummed that i dont have the chance to take her again. She is so passionate and her class is what solidified my choice in being an English major. Love her assignments, lectures and reading. Always looked forward to coming to class. TAKE HER!!!!!
Prof. Manukyan relates really well with her students because she's on the younger side. Her lectures can be entertaining. Quizzes from assigned readings. 3 essays and 1 research paper. She gives good feedback on them.
Professor Manukyan is absolutely one of the best English teachers in GCC. I don't understand why her ratings are so low? She is a very generous grader and offers revisions during a short semester. If you revise your paper by following the feedback she gives, she'll bump up one full grade. Very fun and easy class would take her again 100000000%.
Professor Manukyan is the best English teacher at GCC. She explains the essay topics very clearly and is open to answering questions. She also allows revisions on the essays during a summer session. The tests are easy if you listen in class. She is very caring and tries to help her students. Her class is very fun. I would take her class again 100%
Professor Manukyan is one of the best teachers. She is really kind and helpful. Definitely should take her class.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! I had her for summer eng 104 and she literally was the highlight of my summer, she made me love coming to class early, shes so spirited and passionate about her work and if you want a A and a fun time shes your professor!
Such an amazing professor her style of teaching is great. The way she structures her lectures just makes the material easy to understand. The topics she chooses for the papers are great shes so worth taking.
Amazing professor! She is one of the sweetest professors I've ever had. She allows revisions for all the essays except the final. You have a group presentation as well. She usually adds 5-8% after the revision. Usually she doesn't give many quizzes, but when she does, she notifies you of them. The classes are very fun, and engaging too. TAKE HER!!!
She is a good professor. The class consisted of one in class essay, 1 essay outside of class, a final research paper, quizzes, and a test. The quizzes are all based on Pride and Prejudice. They're very easy. Shes a tough grader on essays. The class was overall very easy. I was on my laptop most of the time and got an A. Take the class
Professor Manukyan is absolutely the best! She's an amazing professor, and I really loved her class. Her lectures are very interesting and unique, and her class consists mostly of quizzes on the novel and a few essays. She's very helpful and understanding, and also has a great sense of humor. She's very inspiring, and a wonderful person at heart.
She's SO NOT organized when you take her online class. I don't know about others, I wouldn't take her ever again.
The most unorganized professor in my opinion. Don't take with her any online class.
A lot of extra credit opportunity. But tough grader. Overall she is ok. But unorganized online class
She was probably my favorite teacher throughout my life. She makes class fun and enjoyable. We had quizzes almost every class time but they were easy ones. She lets you resubmit essays and gives really good feedback.
Miss Manukyan is the best. I highly recommend taking her online 102 class. I took her during winter 2020, and it was a great experience . She gives very detailed feedback on the essays and discussions. The class consisted of 3 essays and a final exam which was a multiple-choice. She is very approachable and kind.
It was my first year at GCC, and as I sat down with the professor I had enrolled with, I quickly noticed she was not the professor for me. So I went next door to and met my favorite professor at GCC Lianna Manukayan. She gave me the add code for her 101 class and fell in love with her style of teaching, and ended up taking 102 with her as well.
Shes an amazing teacher! Shell care more about you and your grade if she sees that you participate in class. Young teacher so she relates with us.
She is the absolute best professor I've ever had!! I love her style of teaching and personality! Pay attention to her lectures, which isn't difficult to do since she is fun, energetic, and passionate about what she is teaching. She also is very encouraging and will help revise papers with her precise feedback and even gives extra credit! Love her!
I love her!!! She is the best and I have no clue why her rating is so low. She is sweet and there is a lot of extra credit opportunities and plus she allows revisions on essays, so it shouldnt be hard to get an A! Take her definitely!!
She is kind of good teacher
Prof. Manukyan is an amazing teacher. Do the work and you'll guarantee pass the class. Gives lots of extra credit, clear criteria and organized teacher. 2 papers, midterm, and final. Gives amazing feedback on your papers and gives you a chance to revise your essay for a new grade. Take her, you will not regret it!
Professor Lianna is a caring and well organized grader. Reading and watching her lectures will help you understand her quizzes. She does not discourage you if you did something wrong and helps you revise for a better grade. professor Lianna helps you pass her class.
Shes a good teacher and explains everything you need for the discussion posts and everything. She is a little nitpicky with the essays though. She does give you the chance to revise them for a better grade but it just gets annoying when she comments on every single thing in my essays. I am good at english so it's weird for me to be getting low B's.
Not an easy A but definitely worth taking her class. I wish I would have taken her for English 101. For the first time, I'm scared to see my grade and regardless of that, I would have taken her class over and over again.
I do not know why her rating is so low. She deserves a 5/5 rating. One of the most caring professors I have had and provides so much extra credit opportunities. You have the chance to revise your essays and gives you amazing feedback on them. I cannot emphasize taking her class enough!!! Shes the best!!!!
I took her class and I'm very happy with the results. Meaningful assignments, recorded helpful video lectures. It'll help you clearly understand the assignment. Lots of extra-credit opportunities. If you respect her, her class and don't plagiarise, you'll be respected as well. She is organized. Reason she grades late is she teaches many classes.
She is so nice. She knows what she assigns, her lectures help a lot and I was enjoying studying her class and doing the assignments. The only thing that I regret not doing is that I didn't take her 101 class. I wish I took the 101 with her too. A lot of extra credit work and you will get the points.
Professor Manukyan is the sweetest soul. She is a fair grader, gives extra credit opportunities, and is the kindest human being. She is beyond her rating and she should be 6/5 if that was an option. I took her for 101 and 104. Highly recommend.
By far one of my favorite Professors. Every week you know what is required because its the same amount. As long as you put the effort and do the work she gives you a fair grade. Ive had other friends take her as well and have similar opinion, she is also understanding and answers quickly to emails.
She's such a caring and understanding teacher and wants her students to succeed. Few assignments, 1 essay, which she gives great feedback and gives you the opportunity to revise for a better grade. Read Pride & Prejudice, few quizzes and final was on the book which she answers ALL the Q'S on the final during her discussions!!! Thank you Miss. M!
She is such a caring and understanding prof frfr. There were 2 major essays which were worth 40% of the final grade and some quizzes/discussions on Pride and Prejudice. Literally stop going through the reviews and take her class rn cuz you'll feel very lucky to have her as your prof, trust me.
Now this is a teacher who makes you want to learn. I 100% recommend taking her; she gives many opportunities to her students to get a better grade. She gives great feedback, and does not stack up much homework.
Horrible !!! Scroll to find another professor.
This professor is truly the best English teacher that I had! I had her for Summer for English 101, and her work was easy and manageable, but since it is more of a fast paced class you need to put in the work. She is truly a caring teacher and really wants you to succeed. As for English 104 it is the same it is manageable, just do your work.
Prof Manukyan is such a sweet and caring person. The class was not very challenging, just make sure to watch all the recorded videos on Pride and Prejudice and you'll be good for the final. If you do well on the assignments (and in general), she gives lots of extra credit.
She is not a good professor, not understanding whatsoever. Avoid her at all costs please.
WORST PROFFESSOR I COULD EVER ASK FOR OR HAVE. Sorry not sorry. If you are a happy person do yourself the favor and STEER CLEAR from this witch. This class is all she has going for her so she takes it really seriously and makes sure you are MISERABLE. If you don't practice religion, you better start because you will need it. Best of luck. 🤗
just avoid.
