Reviews of professor Arabo Gharibian

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He is very caring and tries his best to address students' concerns. He is always available for any questions or concerns the students may have. His labs were extremely helpful for me in learning and understanding the material. Just make sure you don't miss any sessions. Would definitely take him again.

Only lectures when it is relevant to the lab (and only if it is the first time we are doing it), and it's a short lecture. Plenty of time to do the labs. will help you if you ask for it, no fuss. Extremely knowledgable about careers in the field if you ask him about it. NO LAB REPORTS, basically just filling out a worksheet. Great guy.

Taking his Control Systems Lab virtually, Professor Arabo personally distributed MyDAQs for students to use. Groups of 3 make the work easy to distribute. We were taught LabView for use in our course, and he was more than happy to answer even the simplest of questions. When equipment failed, he gave extensions and was very understanding. Great clas

I highly recommend taking professor Gharibian for control lab. He is very nice and cares about his students. He is very confident and explains everything clearly. If you show up and do what you are asked to do then getting a good grade wouldnt be difficult. I think he is very fair and the level of knowledge is beyond any other professor..

Lecture ECE1101; professor lectures fast, but responsive to review requests. Course outline: 3 HW PDFs, 2 quizzes,  midterm, and final. Exams are REALLY HARD, but he curves. Somehow ended up with a B+ even though I bombed the final. Will I ever take him again? probably not. Can you pass the class?Yes, just get a D+ or higher on the exams.Good luck!

Arabo gets to the point with his lab which is nice if you want to get out fast. The lab does not follow the lecture and ends a few weeks before the lecture. The first half of the class doesn't impact the last labs, controlling the rps of a motor. No one really understood the code he gave which was a disappointment. Grades slow, but generally easy.

Class consisted of weekly labs, and a final lab 2 weeks before finals week. We never got past chapter 5, and as such, we never worked with capacitors or inductors that would be found in chapters 6 and 7. Lab reports are fairly easy and work is done in pairs. Final is individual, and is worth 15%. Total of 10 labs.

Interesting lab to learn and use in practice. Lab reports follow the prelab so make sure to do the prelab to understand and perform the lab.

The class is not that bad if you already know what you are doing. If you don't then this class will be kinda hard because he doesn't explain the material very well and you are pretty much on your own with your group. Make sure you have a good lab partner.
