Reviews of professor Matthew Aivazian

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Nice Prof. Due dates change so listen in class. Grading criteria changes a couple times. Added extra credit opportunities mid-semester, but changes how much they're worth once you take the final. Midterms were almost like their study guides(PRACTICE). Homework graded based on completion. Must attend class. Curved midterms, no curve on final.

He is a nice guy and cares about his students. His lectures are him reading from the test book, and when he does the sample problems for the class he repeats himself and struggles to find the right words to say. You NEED to teach yourself the material. If your learning style is hands-on and you learn best from in-class content, take a dif proffesor

Reads directly off of the textbook. Tests hard. Heavily curved. Doesn't look at homework very carefully

Just reads straight out of the text book. Most likely wont explain it any other way. Be prepared to watch a lot of videos to get whats going on. Some pros he curves and does accept late work. But downside he is dedicated to his schedule so good luck if you need more time on a section.

As of Fall semester 2020, Pros: Homework is easy cause it's all textbook work, he constantly gives extensions to deadlines for tests and homework, and his study guides are good. Cons: this professor only reads out of the textbook, is a bit flakey with emails, and is consistently slow and has to cram a bunch of material into 1 lecture. Overall, meh

(Intro to Business Calc) He's a cool guy, but the lectures are horrible, and the amount of homework assigned is horrible. It doesn't have a huge effect on the grade, and there can be 30 - 40 problems assigned to each assignment. He gives good study guides for tests, but even then, the grading on the exams is very harsh. Pick any other professor.

Professor A was a nice guy but classes were really just him projecting the book on the screen and reading the pages. I am more of a hands on learner so this class was definitely difficult. He does curve tests but it's needed or else everyone would be failing. Practice test were always way easier than the true test.

He reads off the textbook for the lectures, but once he does examples, he walks you through them with detail. However, he crams a lot of information and we can cover 1-4 sections a day depending on his pace. There's no quizzes, two midterms, and one final. His study guides are exactly how the exams are, just the values changed. They're curved too.
