GREAT CLASS! This is a very very fun class. Everyone shoud take it. The tests are not hard at all and there is just one essay required besides the tests. Awesome teacher!

All in all, human sexuality was a decent class with quite a bit of interesting, ahem, footage to be viewed. Interesting subject matter, interesting professor.
Best class i have ever taken! Pretty easy to do well on the tests...but you just have to go to class and study. Covers really interesting topics. Gives many extra credit chances too! Overall, it was really fun!!!!!!!!
Awesome class. I really recommend it for everyone!!!! Really great professor who has the greatest teaching procedure. Class is sooo fun and never dull.
This class was really fun, Mr. Agopian is a great teacher who is really fair. Go to class, be there for the in-classes and you'll get a good grade.
you have to get a 92% to get an A in the class. if you have a 90 or 91, you still get a B. don't even bother buying the book for this class, his tests have nothing to do with the text. better yet, don't take this useless class.
worst class ever!
Subject matter might be interesting if the teacher wasn't such a pain. Class discussions are extremely boring and he treats the class like children. Has the attitude of my way or the highway.
This guy is probably the worst teacher I have ever encountered in my entire life.
EASY TEACHER. TELLS YOU WHAT TO STUDY. PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS AND TAKE GOOD NOTES. I NEVER EVEN HAD TO OPEN MY BOOK. MEDIA JOURNAL=EASY A.
might not be the best class you'll ever take, but as long as you go to class you'll make the grade. he pulled my grade to an A when I thought I was getting a B. The more people who leave class early gives you a better chance of getting easy extra credit. just listen and you'll pass
The first class that I gave my undivided attention to. Awesome course and Agopian does the material justice. He's not hard either...plenty of extra credit opprotunities.
This guy is old with a comb over hairstyle and thinks he is hot with the chicks! What a joke, he needs to get a clue. Treats students who are older who may have a disability poorly. Treats the rest like idiot children. Talks down to students. Terrible and hurt a lot of students feelings.
Hes a very nice professor. He uses comedy to make the subject of sex easier on people. This is the only class ive actually looked forward to going. Interesting and fun class!!
Weirdo! He always says "Strike that" and "XYZ." He always says hi to me and I don't feel comfortable in his class. This class is very boring also. His tests have nothing to do with the book. I've seen all the videos he's shown. I thought this would be an interesting class. *Yawn* Idreadgoingtoclass.
good teacher

I LOOKED FORWARD TO GOING TO THIS CLASS EVERY EVENING. HE IS VERY INTERESTING AND SEEMS TO LIKE HIS JOB. HE WAS GOOD TO THE STUDENTS. HE IS VERY FUNNY AND BLUNT. IT IS VERY EASY TO GET AN A ON HIS CLASS. GO TO CLASS. TAKE A FEW NOTES. READ THE BOOK. DO THE MEDIA JOURNAL!!!I WOULD DEFENETLY TAKE HIM AGAIN
he was funny. easy class. lecture, movies, tests. just make sure you do the reading and easy A. also do the media journals. easy easy A.

I have over 15 A's on my transcripts and Agopian is the only one who gave me a B. But the girl behind me who copied all my work and did worse on the tests got an A ??? I will never even consider taking another class of his. But then again I never really got along with arrogant people.
Great teacher.

hes good, as long as your not a slacker

Talks to much!!! Boring!!
he is ok
How can a teacher who gives extra credit not be helpful. I thought he was very easy and if you are not lazy you can pass with flying colors. I would take it over just to be in the class again I thought it was so interesting and well taught. He covered ever
HES A VERY NICE TEACHER AND SO FUNNY!HE KEEPS IT REAL!
great teacher! makes class so fun and interesting! very professional and easy to understand! highly recommend him!
He's hella funny
he's alright. made fun interesting. but you need to do alot of reading!
funny teacher..hes a sex professional...you will be amazed by this class..the book is expensive though...
He was a good teacher...he had this weird quirk of "fake coughing" though..did anyone else notice that?? I thought it was funny...but toally cool teacher
This class was awesome. Beware- the first day of class he likes to pop in a HARD CORE****! Gross!
This guy really knows how to teach. He makes jokes to ease the tension of what could be a really embarassing subject. He really tries to connect with the class and encourages questions and participation. Awesome class. Tons of interesting videos and topics. Easy 'A' if you do the reading. This is not a "how to" class. It's a class for understanding. He wont tell you how to "be great in the sack" so don't take it if that's what you're looking for.
great teacher
Solid Professor, very funny, will emberass you on the spot, will ask questions you don't want to hear and even less, answer. Will teach you all there is to know about Sex, Human Sexuality, Love, Relationships, Costs, Legal side of the questions and many more interesting facts and figures. I would give this professor an A without even thinking!
Very Cool Teacher, but the structure of the class is going to be totally different starting Spring '06. If you're are registering for this class because you heard how cool it was,DON'T. He's being forced to change it and it going to be taught like a high school sex ed class.
tests are all multiple choice.
overall he's a great person. he keeps you interested/entertained/challenged at the same time, which is more than i can say about most professors. if you put in the effort you will get a good grade.
this professor is a ****,arragant, and thinks he is above the law. It is a shame someone like him could be trusted with such young students.
This professor is such a !@# hole. He has no social skills, despite him getting a phd in sociology. I had a bad experience with MR. @#$ hole. He thinks that he's superior to all his students. In my opinion I feel he should not be teaching.
Amway/Quixtar sucks!
Agopian is a great teacher. The material is interesting, and he lectures well. You get out early. The tests are all multiple choice, but if you do the reading it won't be that hard. You have one essay on the topic of your choice, but it's not hard. He's an easy going teacher, the class is easy and interesting.
this teacher has interesting lectures. He makes fun of it by making such comments. He uses film everday of his classes which makes it not-that-fun anymore. All tests are multiple choice. However to get an A, you must get 46 out of 50 questions. There are no extra credit whatsoever. it's hard to get an A.
I recommend everyone to take Agopian once in their lives. He is the funniest and is a great teacher. This is one class that i ALWAYS paid attention in due to his wacky lectures. The tests are fairly simple and there is only one paper due throughout the whole class.
This is a very interesting class. Prof. Agopian makes it even more interesting with his sense of humor. His lectures contain a lot of information and reading the text is a must. Extra credit is given at random also. There are a lot of interesting discussions. I got a B in the class and could have gotten an A if I read more.
Great Teacher, Funny, Easy to Pass!
This professor is pretty funny! I enjoyed his class. As long as you read the chapters and take notes you should be fine.
one of the best teachers ive ever had, funny guy too, rock on Agopian, your the man.
It was an interesting class. Funny guy, but a little creepy at times. Tests are kind of hard, just study! You don't really have to go to class and you can pass. Fun subject...totally recommend it!
he is a funny, down to earth teacher. he likes to explain the class by involving the students. a very funny professor. you cant help but to laugh in that class.
Prof. Agopian was a little hard to deal with at first. He's kind of anti female. Had some issues w/women. He just lectures most of the time. In both classes Soc o1 and 21, you watch a lot of videos and the stuff he writes on the board doesn't make sense most of the time. Papers and tests are pretty easy. Read the book. EC opportunities at random!
Had Agopian for human sexuality, great teacher, keeps everything fun, but still very knowledgable. he is not Anti-female, he openly discusses the flaws of both sexes, but usually one at a time, so it may seem onesided.
Although everything seemed a bit intimidating, I loved this course. I had a lot of fun reading and watching the materials he presented to us. He really likes people to get involved in discussions, and will call you out at random. He does a lot of surveys in class. The papers are not hard, just follow the instructions. Tests are easy if you read!
HES OKAY
I'm not gonna lie, this guy scared me at first. You get used to him though. He's a cool guy and a fun teacher. I got a lot of good laughs in his Human Sexuality class. Its a great course to take. Very interesting, easy to relate to and useful. Easy assignments and fair tests. Definitely recommended.
anyone who gives this man a negative remark is ridiculous. he keeps the class interesting and make you wanna go. i recommend it to any and all. probably THE if not one of the few best professors at LAHC hands down
Professor Agopian. Blunt. Honest.Shocking. But tells the kids the truth! Gives the best information on sexual anatomy, mores,STD, and consequences of sex too early. His former background is an asset to the youth for he has seen so much. He gives the facts,tells you the choices and consequences, and repercussions, and makes it fun.He is awesome.XXX
Very fun and fast paced. Not a lot of work
he is well organized, very interesting topics, and the class discussions are on target and make you think. its not an easy class but its a great class.he is a great teacher.
Pretty interesting class, very clear about what is expected. Study for tests, go to class, & you should get an A. A few assignments, throughout class, not to bad, cool teacher.
AWESOME TEACHER-YOU CAN TELL HE IS WELL EDUCATED. VERY INTERESTING LECTURES, I ENJOYED LECTURES VERY MUCH AND NEVER WANTED TO MISS CLASS! TESTS ARE TRUE/FALSE, MULTIPLE CHOICE
i really learned alot from professor agopian. he is really fun and enjoys teaching. if u dont understand something asked for his helped, hes more than welcome to helped students.
i really learned alot from professor agopian. he is really fun and enjoys teaching. if u dont understand something asked for his helped, hes more than welcome to helped students. soc 21 was great
I HAD HIM FOR SOCIOLOGY 21 AND HE WAS GOOD. I WISH THAT IN THE BEGINNING I WOULD THE BEEN MORE SERIOUS ABOUT MY WORK
great teacher. interesting class. advise everyone to take.
awesome instructor, very informative, loved his class. He's very passionate about what he teaches and never a dull moment in his class. Not an easy A, attendance very important and you have to study for his tests.
THIS CLASS WAS VERY INTERESTING ON EVERY LEVEL KINDA HARD BUT HE REALLY KEEPS YOU AWAKE WITH HIS LECTURES
Dr.Agopian is very insightful and well educated. His lecturing style is factual, blunt and comedic. I can't believe some people have rated h
Where do i beging, i took this class bcs someone said to me the class is great but he (Dr.Agopian) is what makes the class what it is. He is so intelligent, very knowledgeable in all the subjects he bring to the table. Dr.Agopian gives us great advise on relationships, and gives an alternative perspective on our lifestyles. Absolutely loved him! xo
Dr. Agopian know what he teaches. He is very informative, and whenever i need help he's always there to help me. If you have any questions go talk to him in his office hours. He is a very professional teacher. As he always says in the first day of his class it is a college level class and if you can't stand graphic material then don't take it.
Very helpful teacher. Really knows what he is teaching. Must come to class to watch his powerpoint lectures because they are on the test. He also has videos for every test. Fairly easy class if you attend class, study, and do good on essays.
TO TAKE HIM YOU NEED A SENSE OF HUMOR!!! YOU ALSO NEED TO BE ADULT! I've got thick skin so I thought he was hilarious and real. Other girls in my class thought he was sexiest. However many times he picked on women he picked on the stupidity of guys too. Nice guy let me make up a test I missed!
He very clear and funny and real in his subject. I learned so much in his class and also made me like sociology. He very organized and lets you know where are you in his class and if you talk to him and miss class he will allow you to make it up.
easy class... 3 papers worth 30- 35 pts... 4 exams including final worth 50 pts. he doesnt give extra credit! I found it difficult to get an A! you must read the book!

Definitely a great teacher. Takes teaching seriously and holds his students to high standards so they can not only succeed in his class but other classes as well. A real teacher who doesn't water down his teachings and tells you the real deal. A great teacher for people who are adults and want to learnn
Indeed he is a honestly suprior teacher, he puts in effort in the class.And so do you! picky about the essays must be perfect and clear. If your mature you will go smoothy along. must work your ass off and study to get an A most people passed with Cs
Really interesting, if I had to put it in actual words! His classes are never boring, and you're always learning something new! He's pretty easy to pass as long as you read the textbook!
Very interesting class. He might seem old and boring but the class was beyond boring. Must read book, tests are based off the book.
This professor is great. He lets his students know what their grades are throughout the whole course. You must read the text; it's not boring though. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
such a great professor, funny and makes the class fun
Dr. Agopian is an amazing teacher. He is knowledgeable, a realist with a great sense of humor to keep his students entertainted. Important to attend every class to get your inclass notes from the projector and may do an inclass paper for a documentary of fill in answers.dont forget to read the chapter as well you will be tested.
Fantastic teacher! Keeps things fun and you won't expect the things he says! Challenging though, need a 92% for an A, and attendance is mandatory (in class assignments and films). One of my favorite classes! Do the work, show up, read the book and you'll do fine.
His class was interesting, he is articulate and is funny. But he likes to call on you and use you as an example. His tests are a mixture of lecture and random parts of the book he never goes over. He assigns 4 papers that arent challenging. Just pay attention in class.
His class is interesting. He gives many examples and films to help you get a better understanding of the topic he is covering. You will pass his class is you do all the work and if you pay attention. The hard part is achieving an A.
Go to class, pay attention to the lectures (easy because they're interesting!), do the work, and study for the tests, and you'll do well. Don't, and you won't. Very straightforward.
Agopian teaches the class in a very professional and matter of fact manner. You must be very mature to take this course. The course is interesting from beginning to end. Pay close attention to what he asks you, especially when writing a paper and you will be golden. You will open yourself up to another world with this class and you will enjoy it.
The best of the best at Harbor College no doubt. Doctor Agopian is straightforward,bold and very clear every lecture. You will need your book, however he goes through each lecture so smoothly you will walk out of class with the current chapter in your head. Great credentials and amazing resume a top of the line instructor. a REAL college proffesor
Must read the book. Agopian is a funny during his lectures. Doesn't go over the book in class. Take notes from lectures, read, study, show up you'll be fine.
Such a great professor! His class is interesting and funny, he does assign h.w and you are expected to study for the tests. However the lectures are so interesting and he really knows his stuff! Work hard and you'll do great:) plus you will learn a lot!
Very easy class. Interesting topics. He really knows his stuff! The book is a must have to study for the tests. Tests are not cumulative, based on the chapters you are working on. Can have up to 4 papers, however, we only had one. He is a tough grader. Make sure you follow his syllabus in regards to grading. He docs you points for everything!
The best teacher I've had this semester. He really makes you work for the grade you want. His lectures are always interesting & funny. If you go to class, pay attention, & study, you will be able to get through the class. Also, wr had one 3-4 page paper & the other 3 "papers" were questions & answers format based on documentaries.
Mr. Agopian is an interesting teacher and he is pretty funny. I enjoyed his class because it wasn't boring and he actually taught us and shared some pretty good information during his lectures. But he is one of those teachers who make you work for the grade you want so you do have to study to pass your tests.
I took Agopian for fall 2015. For people who say he's the best for soc 1, have you had a good teacher before? He gave no A's in my class. I studied so hard, I read the best I could, I paid attention and still got a B. I got A's in every class I took, and I am a nursing major. Take King. I wish I did, but it's okay. He calls on people a lot.
He is a great professor especially if you talk to him and talk to him when he lectures
Prof. Agopian gives great lectures but you need to read the textbook and notes to do well on his exams. I looked forward to going to his class because his lectures are interesting. He is a very well knowledgeable man.
Really good teacher, he will keep you updated on tests and assignments (chapters to read or papers) and he has a clear grading scale. He is always there early and after class to answer any questions you have. He makes the lessons easy to understand and explains it in good scenarios. YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED ON THE SAME STUFF TWICE!
Dr. Michael Agopian is a very knowledgeable, caring, inspirational, and motivational Professor. This carries over not only for his classes, but in real life as well! I shall never forget his advice when I fell ill in his classroom! He is genuine, and a real gem! He listens, and is empathetic to each of his students! I highly recommend his courses!
Not an easy A. In order to get an A you have to have a 92% in the class. Need to read the textbook thoroughly to do well on tests!! (thats where most of the questions come from). Wrote one paper that was easy and the rest of the "papers" on the syllabus were writing about the documentaries. He tends to call students out and can make sexist remarks.
He's a good teacher, he sets great examples in class, he sometimes says things that is out of your comfort zone but that how it is in college. His very thorough and clear about your grades. He actually made me understand marriage in America (which is an absolute disaster!)
You can pass this class with a high gade if you try. Teacher is funny and smart.
This professor is not that great. Do not waste your time taking this professor.
Do not waste your time taking this class! The professor is not that great and class is mostly based on tests!
