very nice , but hey you need two brains to get this work. he expects a lot, because he does want you to remember a lot of information, and thing are complicated

A very caring, concise, and clear professor. The best in the physics department. His tests are hard though, but understandable, since he teaches very well.

his teaching is good, but he is a little bit unkind by his rules.

No Comments

Very good teacher. He is very dedicated to his subject and teaching. Good sense of humor.though His Tests are pretty Tough.

He's the best physics teacher in ELAC even though his tests are hard. His tests come from kind of HW and lecture problems.

Mr. K in his class brings a lot of wonder and amazement to your mind. He expects a lot from you but when your honest and consistent to yourself along with trying your best your sure to pass. Extra Credit assignments are really fun and relevant to the stars and beyond------> Highly recommend him!

very hard test. He give you alot to study from class note web note homeworks. If you have alot i mean alot of free time take him. sometime his class note are not so clear and sometime he skip too much and that is what you need. first day of class 35 people at the end only 9 people. because of his test are hard

Very Helpful. Makes class interesting. Gives practice quizes so students will be well prepared.

arguably the savior of the ELAC physics department. unfortunately he's relegated to teaching labs only and the PATHETIC head of the department hordes the lectures this man should be the head and force the current head to retire. THUMBS UP TO THIS GATE-KEEPER... MR. KILEDJIAN

Seems to be very helpful

very hard tests, usually talks mostly about examples. Best teacher to have in physics though.

Mr Kiledjian he is a wonderful teacher. He got the UCLA master and come to ELAC. so he is HARD. he give about 10 questions on the internet and 10 questions in the book every time. 5 test can drop 1. you need to do all the questions and he will only change the numbers in the questions. but i need about 4~6 hours to do all the question and unerstand.

Great teacher!! i am currently taking him for winter session. He is very helpful and gives several examples. His class is very interesting. But, you have to stay on top of things because he gives quizzes daily. The quizzes are multiple choice and they are based on his lecture. Also, he is very attractive! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I took this class during Winter 07 & it was pretty tough. It was tough because I was taking another class. YOU NEED to spend at least 2-3 hours every day to study because he gives daily quizzes which are pretty hard. He expects a lot from you because he is very passionate about his teachings. I highly recommend him because he is very knowledgeable.

He is the BEST instructor in the Physic Department!He explains the metarials well and make you understand more about physic.Altough some times he may scare you by using calculus on the examples.But if you do all the homeworks and review his examples,you will get a good grade on physic.Not a hard professor,but you need to STUDY

He is a good science teacher, but he needs to stay off from the powerpoint. His lectures can be boring, and his quizzes are pretty hard. but if you study, you'll sure to make it. he has a sense of humor and is nice, but i thought it was an easy subject, but turns out to be a lil too much for the summer!

Good Professor.

he's an okay teacher. you don't have to work hard to get an A, but you do have to work. he assigns a TON of extra credit, make sure you do all of them for a good cushion. to get A's on the quizzes, study his lecture notes along with the online quizzes. for tests, follow the online study guide. TAKE HIM!

Great teacher. Took him for physics 1 and yes his tests are difficult. Yes, he likes to use as much Calculus as he can. However, this is what Physics is, so there's nothing wrong with that. As I said: Great teacher!

Mr. Kiledjian is really a very humorous guy. He gives extra credit and will always give A's on data sheets. He is Russian, I highly recommend him! HE IS EASY!

really difficult professor, loves to watch students suffer (in a good way) while they learn physics, which shows determination and dedication to succeed. tests based off hw, couple from review sheet. final based completely on review sheet. be disciplined, dont procrastinate and work hard. do those, you will get at least B. also great lab prof

This is a great professor! his tests are hard, but he gives extra credit. He also gives study sheets for us to study before exams. we always have enough time time to study. This professor is so cute and funny. He is a nice professor that we should all take him for physics

Probably the best physics prof in ELAC in terms of clarity. His in-class lecture is a little bit useless for tests since they only help you understand theories. The golden key to get an A in tests is the homework assignments and his online practice test, which are already done in examples in his online lecture. There shouldn't be any complaints.

Yeah, the subject its hard bit this teacher is one of the best at Elac! He loves helping his students and explains everything very well! JUST MAKE SURE YOU STUDY!

Prof K is the best physics teacher at ELAC hands down. Tests are difficult and there's lots of calculus. You really have to work for an A, but you will learn a lot. Test material is covered in lecture and hw/review so you have to attend and do the hw.He's a hard teacher but hes very helpful. Take him!!! He's dope

Prof K understand and teaches physics better than anyone else at ELAC. Make sure to take the lab with him since he is the one who wrote the material, if you have anyone else for lab you will suffer. His tests are extremely ridiculously difficult but you really shouldn't take mechanics of solids until you're done with atleast calc 3.

Interesting character, he loves to use visuals so i was able to understand his lessons. I took him for a short term class i missed like once but all the answers to the test are in the lecture so attendance is a must! I found him to be pretty easy although some friends find him boring. Just dont go to class sleepy and he'll keep you entertained..

His Physics 11 lab class was not hard, but time consuming!! Some labs may take just an hour, while others may take longer than three hours!!No need to buy lab book, just zerox it from somebody else in the class!! He will get technical at times, but explains every lab in detail and we need to write lab report for every other lab!!

Great professor! When attending lectures, he already expects you to have read beforehand so no time is wasted and he dives straight into problems. Gives lots of additional help with online video lectures/notes, practice tests, and office hours. Tests are not too difficult, but does require mastery of the material. Prepares sci majors for transfer!

I took him for physics bootcamp, which was a 5-week overview of the fundamentals in physics 1, 2, 3 and 4. His lectures were good and tests were tricky but helped prepare me a lot.

I took astronomy 001 during the winter session. He does go over alot of material and we had quizes almost every day. The book is a bit expensive so i suggest buying it online and the lecture nots are necessary..he gives extra credit and if ur actually interested in learning a few things i deff.recomend him

He is the man who will lead you to love physics.

I learned a lot from him. He gives many quizes like 1-2 a week and extra credit. Highly recommended.

Thank you for being my physics professor. I learned so much from you and will take what I've learned with me when I'm at the UC this fall.

A good teacher, he will help u have a better foundation for Physics later at University. His test is really hard. Not easy to get A but easy to fail. I am taking him with Physics 1, I am getting a C right now, but I love my C because I know what I am doing. If u wanna get easy A, don't take him.

Very hard, but best physics teacher. you have to study a lot, watch his videos, and do his practice test, and his homework. It requires a lot of work, but it is worth it. I've learned ALOT in this class. I wish i took him for physics 1 because physics 3 would've been a lot easier.

Took him for the boot camp. This class was demanding, need to be on your toes studying night and day in hopes to perform well in his class, and pass the challenge exam. Explains clearly, and sure does love his physics, and his test are hard, and challenging. I learned a lot, and hope this knowledge will help me in physic 1 next semester.

His class was a battle ground with constant studying, studying, and studying. He gives you hw, practice test, Online lectures, and his own online notes with class lecture. Need to have no life, and want to study to keep up. His class is fair and straight foward, but he has an creative mind for physics that tends to scare people away from his class

Definitely NOT an easy class, a lot of reading is required if you want to pass his test (multiple choice) which have VERY specific questions. Quizzes every week on previous lecture. Lecture is not enough to pass his tests, you must read. Most people in the class either dropped or were struggling to get a C. Offers several X-credit.Interesting Class

this class is very possible to pass. he uses the exact same questions from the hw except changing the questions a bit. However it is still very hard to pass, but he does curve.

professor kiledjian is so hot! He might look like a science nerd sometimes, but if you get to know him, you'll feel that he's charming, his personality is so amiable; he loves and enjoys teaching very well, actually he might be a little hard,but definitely that'll do you a lot of good. I gotta say i like him. he makes me love physics.:)

Hands down best physics teacher at East Los Angeles college. I?m not going to lie he is not easy, but if your going into a science field I strongly recommend him. He goes into a lot of detail other professors wont. He covers a lot but he?ll make everything very clear. He will definitely prepare you for your next physics class. If you need help he?s

mr K. Is by far the best teacher i ever had. He's also the hardest one. But if you take his class and pass with an A all the rest of the engineering classes are quite easy in comparison to him! dynamics will make so much sense after taking physics 1 with him! strongly recommend him...of course u gotta study daily, but that should be done anyway!

best physics professor who's friendly and helpful but his class is hard

Best teacher ever! His class is interesting and u can learn a lot from it! His tests and final are very easy, and curve a lot! One of my friends gets 100+ every time. He is getting easier than before. Take his class, U will enjoy it!

he is the best teacher i had for years. he lecture the test materials, so if you go to class and take note. you can get an easy A!! of course you have to put some effort in it. i Highly recommend this teacher! BEST in ELAC!

easy!!!!

test is so similar with the HW, that you can get prety high grade if you finish the HW.

Took the bootcamp with him and man was it a bootcamp! Learned a lot from his class and it's the primary reason why I did well in physics 1. 5 weeks, 5 days a weeks, 6 hrs a day of pure physics. His youtube channel helps a lot if you want to do well in any of his classes. Very dedicated and knowledgeable professor! Best in the department!

Mr kiledjian is an awesome teacher, loves to help students and definitely passionate on how he teaches! Take him if you want to learn! However This class was extremely hard! this class is definitely equivalent to university level. It may be one of the most difficult at elac. PS Do not take this class if your taking more than 4-5 classes

Great teacher, takes time to help you, interesting lectures.Buy lecture notes, its easier. Lets you use 1 page of notes & handouts for tests. Quizzes every week,pretty easy if u study sample quizzes. Not too many assignments, but they are necessary, and he gives opportunity for extra credit. Overall great instructor/class.

In order to pass physics 1 with kiledjian you have to take advantage of all the resources you can get like the tutoring and asking questions and taking notes. Do all his hws and practice tests and and you will pass unfortunately many didn't follow that so many failed. His class will be insane I mean INSANE hard at the end so be prepared!!!

The hard class trained me so that I can now compete with international students (important for a science job in a more global world.)Finish his classes n you will be a lot more prepared in ur other science courses. Read concepts in the book at home and ask for clarity during office hours. It makes more sense to do word problems in class together.

His made up problems resemble world problems that we have to solve and analyze though sometimes it doesn't work :(. His lectures match professors at university so it is good preparation for the time and effort required of us b4 transferring. His courses have made me confident to transfer successfully.

You have to work your tail off. I did all the extra credit available and barely got an A. For summer school, you have a quiz or test every day, so there is no day off. I did learn tons, so I guess this is what college is all about. There is no question, Mr K is outstanding and dedicated.

Mr. Kiledjian is awesome! He is VERY difficult but, he is ALWAYS available during office hours; he also has his lectures on youtube, and a website with his notes. I recommend doing all the h.w., mock test, and youtube video problems. At first, he may appear very serious, but he's actually very funny, dedicated, and cool. The BEST teacher at ELAC!!

He is passionate about the subject that he will find ways for everyone to understand. The cool thing about the class is that he has lecture videos in case you didn't understand something. There is one group presentation, the tests are open book but you can easily fail.It's a challenging but rewarding class.

one of the best teachers ive ever met, he would make u love phy though the test is not easy. highly recommand him if we really wanna learn more in phycis.

First off, Mr. K is a fantastic prof. and is the epitome of a passionate and cool instructor! He's university quality and he's VERY clear and entertaining and if you still don't get it, watch his youtube vids. Classes are tough and seem hardest during summerwinter, so study HARD. 3 tests, 10 quizzes, 2 reports, 1 group report, 1 Final, & 3 E.C.

KIledjian is by far the best professor I have taken, he is very passionate about physics and wants you to give it your all. Although his test are very difficult he gives you everything you need to prepare for the test ( test reviews and mock test). I highly recommend going to SI sessions to do good in the class. He gives a nice curve for each test.

don't expect to pass his class on your first try. really knows how to relate the theories to real life stuffs and sometimes interesting. tough questions, curves grade often. you'll learn a lot from his class if you make it through. rumored to be the toughest physics prof. at Elac

Prof. Kiledjian is best Astro. teacher at ELAC. Lectures are interesting & funny at times. Has own website with lecture vids handouts sample quizzes & exams to help out. Will promptly reply to emails. 1 group presentation. A fair amount of HW. 3 exams, few weekly quizzes. Lowest is dropped. Exams are open book w note sheet. Def. reccommended

Prof. Kiledjian is the best Astro. teacher at ELAC. Make sure you buy his lecture notes because it helps you keep up with his lectures. He has his own website with lecture vids, handouts, sample quizzes & exams to help you out. Class consists of 1 group project, 3 tests & 7 quizzes (drops lowest score), 1 Griffith report, and Final. Not an easy A!!

Not an easy A! I worked my butt off and got a B but I never purchased the book, which I think hurt my grade. Fair amount of work, tests are not easy but he offers a lot of help and his YouTube videos help a lot. Must buy the Lecture Notes and study his sample quizzes! He's very intelligent and passionate about his job.

Wonderful professor, extremely passionate, however the class is difficult you will need to study and be ready for his lectures, but his lectures are amazing and helpful. He allows for cheat sheets so take good notes or purchase the notes he sells at the bookstore.

The best physics professor I have ever had ! He is fun and makes the lecture becomes interesting. He does lots of demos so I can understand the things on the book more clearly. He gives extra credits. As long as you study and do the problems in the book, you will be ok for the test. Also, his video lectures are amazing! Like him so much!!

Excellent professor! I really enjoyed his teaching method.; He always came in with a smile and prepared to teach. You got a question, go ahead and ask. He is sooooo approachable and never makes anyone feel inadequate. He always stated "your here to learn," and I love that! If you really want to develop an understanding for physics, take his course

Pretty good professor! Very nice and easy to talk to. He curved the exams based on the highest score except when the average was above 70% :(. The video lectures were helpful considering the exams are basically the exam review and homework problems but with different numbers. Though, I'm not a fan of the power point presentation lectures.

I took his class for physics 11. He is very approachable. He likes us asking the questions and of course he is really willing to help us. He gives lots of extra credits in the lab, and he curves the test scores for 5%. His videos are really helpful also. If you want to learn something, highly recommended!

Best Physics professor ever. He is always willing to help and answer questions until you understand. Drops lowest test and lab score. Offers alot of extra credit in labs and an extra credit paper (do all of them). Tests are a little tough but study the review sheets, YouTube videos he has, and HW and you'll do great. He provides formulas for tests.

Loved him! Very passionate and is willing to make sure his students understand the material. Tests were open book and he always allowed for a "CHEAT" sheet. Gives A LOT of extra credit- do it! It will save your grade if you're doing poor. Also has sample quizzes from which you can study from! 1 group project & a few homework assignments. TAKE HIM!

I transferred to Cal Poly Pomona as an EE major after attending ELAC. Physics 3 was a mandatory course, but presented in vector calculus. It's one of the most feared courses at CPP. I killed every test while my classmates floundered, because I took Physics 3 with Kiledjian. I graduated as valedictorian in EE from CPP. Thanks to Prof K.

Kiledjian is a great professor, he gives in depth lectures. He provides copies of his notes in the student store for less than $20 and has videos of his lectures on Youtube for free. He drops lowest text and quiz and offers lots of extra credit. expect a quiz every week and 3 exams and one group project.

Professor Kiledjian is one of ELAC's finest ! He is organized, straightforward and his lectures are clear, detailed and interesting. He really cares about his students and presents the subject matter in the best possible light. You will learn alot from him, just put in the effort and stay organized/on top of your work. You'll ace it!

Took this guy for intro physics during the winter sessions, and he was great! Sure, the class was tough, but I learned so much! I'm so glad I took this class at ELAC and not at my homeschool where physics 11 is much easier. His videos on youtube are great! Check them out, just look up his name!

He is great prof. Test very difficult, but him video very helpful.

Professor Kiledjian is geat. He's one of the ELAC fearful-5. We're very fortunate for the fearful-5. I was nervous about physics and astronomy, but he debunked the fear.

Great professor, I took his online Honors Astronomy course and it went great. His videos are very clear and he always replies to your questions. Would define tell recommend. Test is very difficult so make sure you watch all online videos.

During the winter session, he curved our test grades around 5-7% each test. In order to pass this class with an A, I recommend you watch his youtube videos as they were really helpful when it came time for the test. Expect to go through an entire month of hell but you will learn a whole lot from him.

Good professor, his lectures are good and he is generous

For a challenging class such as Physics, they were by far the hardest in college. He explains the hard concepts to the best of his ability and knowledge. I highly recommend his courses.

Tests are a little bit challenging, offers a lot of extra credits, a fair grader; You will learn a lot from his class. Highly recommend him. If you study hard, you will at least get B; A is not hard to get, but you should do well in quizzes, tests, and paper; also do all the extra credits!! Great professor!

Prof. Kiledjian is a helpful person. Tests are similar practice test and hard. Before you take this, be sure you have time. Prof. Kiledjian makes anything to physics and you will fun with his lab.

Very straight forward professor. Do the practice tests and you will pass!

All you have to do is study the practice tests and do the homework questions. Got A's in his Physics 1, 2, and 3 and I learned a lot (-:

To pass his class, you need to study the practice tests and do the homework questions. I took his class in the summer. I did not pass but thats because I didn't have time to study and there was ALOT of material. Hes extremely smart and very helpful if you ask him for help. Very hard but doable in Fall/Spring. He is the best professor for Physics.

Excellent, clear, smart, very complex subject, I enjoyed this class very much, the most interesting, challenging and wonderful academic experience of my life, I love physics and the complexity.

Kiledjian is a didactic and intelligent professor who goes the extra mile in assisting his students. He is a fun and personable guy who and cracks nerdy jokes in class sometimes. Do the test reviews and hw problems multiple times to study. His labs are long & time-consuming, but they are worth it. Take advantage of all his extra credits & he curves

Great teacher very thorough

I think what makes him difficult is that he expects you to be already familiar with cal III and intro diff eq. concepts. The school says you only need calculus 1, but you need to have like diff eq. as a corerequisite to survive any of his classes. I've heard that survivors of his classes become better in physics than actual physics-major students.

So the secret to passing his class is simple. Go to his youtube page. Watch his videos on all the next topic, the night before he explains them in class. Pause the videos, try to understand and work the problems out with him. Don't go to class without watching the videos. Class lectures are super fast because of the amount of material.

Viken seems like a laid back professor, but he grades the labs tough. However, you have the opportunity to earn extra credit with each lab assignment which is good. My advice for him would be to do extra credit and be precise of your numbers when writing data for the lab because he does check. Overall a cool professor to take for physics.

Took Intro to Physics online with him. You have to show up for the labs which were lots of fun. Read so you will not fall behind and participate in the discussions. Extra credit is available on most labs. Would definitely take him again in the future.

To be fair enough, Dr Kiledjian, I would say, is one of the heaviest lecturers, one of the hardest professors, one of the toughies graders on campus; however, here are couple ways to pass his class ending with a good grade: 1 Take note + Review everything learned 2 hours a day 2 Stay up for upcoming tests 3 Be serious about labs + test reviews

Professor Kiledjian is easily one of the most caring/challenging professors at ELAC. He provides you with all the resources to succeed in the class, his lectures are very good, he's very open to questions. You'll have to work hard, but once you pass his class, you'll will become a better student. A real jem at ELAC for those wanting a great teacher

Took the hybrid class. He explains the procedures of each lab really well and gives a lot of extra credit too. He does sometimes leave the the classroom, but he can be found in his office. Doing the labs were really fun! The exams aren't that easy, but if you do the homework you should be fine. Also, he's a tough grader on on online discussions.

I loved this class he opened my eyes to the field of Astronomy, I have to admit it was a very hard class as he has about 3 very heavy assignments due a week, I did take this class online so I would have to watch 10, 20 + minute videos every lecture which I would stay up till 4 am finishing . Beware though he has 2 hour plus tests!!

Professor Kiledjian is the best!He is extremely caring and passionate about physics. If you are a science major and you are looking to actually learn the subject then he is definitely worth taking. If you are looking for an easy A then look somewhere else because it is ALOT of work but he makes it easy to understand and gives lots of extra credit

Professor Kiledjian is one of the best professor I have ever taken in any school, he is a great teacher and really loves physics and he is always helping students Some might say he is a tough grader but it is only because physics is a hard subject. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities therefore it can really make a difference on your grade

I didn't really interact much with the professor but I enjoyed the class. It was well set up on Canvas in terms of layout. The lectures were good, understandable at 1.5x speed is also a plus. Overall I learned a lot and got a good grade. Watch the lectures and take good notes! The assignments aren't bad, but the tests need to be taken seriously.

He's a strict grader and test heavy. The occasional write up Labs are usually consist of several specific photos and page and a half description of the lab. Pretty simple just very particular. He's very helpful and provides resourceful youtube vids and VERY necessary lectures.

Tough Grader on discussions and lab write-ups. REALLY NICE!

I studied electricity & magnetism under prof. Kiledjian @ ELAC. I transferred into Cal Poly Pomona, and had to take an equivalent course based on Calculus III. I passed with an A+ because all of the tests were exactly like prof. K's. I left CPP as valedictorian in EE, and now work in Boeing Satellite Systems. Prof K is the best!!!

Kiledjian's class is challenging but worthwhile. Grading is strict, and assignments can be demanding. However, he is engaging and provides extra credit. unstuck study was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook.
