Reviews of professor Houri Berberian

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Berberian is a passionate professor who provides both intriguing and thought provoking lectures. Although I found the amount of readings to be excessive, the course content makes up for it. Prepare to write a lot, and contribute to class discussions. The final grade was based on two long take home essays, one quiz, and attendance.

Taking her class was a real struggle. So much reading. Prepare to work your tail off to stay afloat. Do not take this class for an easy A. Although interesting material.

Berberian is an amazing professor and has a great way of teaching course material. She expects participation, but you get a lot out of it when you engage with both her and the material. I'll definitely be taking another one of her classes next year. Course material was also very interesting, Armenian history is fascinating!

Best professor at UCI. Reading responses are graded fairly, but she expects effort and engagement with reading at a high level. Accessible outside of class. She KNOWS when you skip class. Lectures are engaging and interesting and she's very knowledgeable. She gave me string cheese once and will bring food to class. TAKE HER CLASS!

Professor Berberian is very knowledgeable in her field and takes her time to help all of her students understand the material. I never feel discouraged to ask a question inside, or outside of class. She makes the class fun and very educational. I can honestly say, I have never fallen asleep in her class, nor have I ever wanted to skip a class.
