Reviews of professor Zhirayr Avetisyan

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
if you've signed up for his class next quarter or are thinking about it, DONT. Lectures are pointless because you dont learn anything and the book problems dont help at all. He does not provide any useful information at all, and seems like his only mission is to fail his students which is super discouraging. Do whatever you can to not get as a prof

Worst professor ever, will never curve the class even after he said that the midterm average is really low. He includes so many sarcasm in his email and is very mean to his own students. Avoid him at any cost, do not ever take his classes.

His class was hard, but if you keep up with the readings, you should be able to do well on the tests and homework. Super responsive to emails about the hw and problems.

My experience in fall with this professor was the worst in my academic career. As a math major, I was always motivated to work and learn. But after taking his course, I can say that this professors teaching is literal dogwater. Neglects students and their personal problems during the pandemic. If tenure was a thing for him, Id pay him to depart.

His weekly lectures are almost four times longer than other professors, homework are literally impossible to get full credits on, and tests are graded so hard he would take off your points because you didn't write the word "if" pretty enough. On one problem in the final, nobody in the class received any credits, and he doesn't curve. Don't take him

My entire understanding of discrete math is thanks to the TA hard carrying us. Not a single person attended office hours (an email was sent out literally saying this), and the lectures were incredibly long and difficult to follow. Curved slightly at the end (after nobody got credit on a problem on the final), but the stress was NOT worth it.

worst math professor at ucsb, the material on the tests having nothing to do with the book problems or his lectures. he really emphasizes going to office hours but his office hours are pointless because when you ask him a question his response is you should already know this, he is not in communication with tas so they dont know how to prep us

There's a reason no one came to his office hours. It shows how much this professor cares about his students; to be able to send an email in an attempt to discourage us for not coming to office hours that won't be worth a students time due the professors lack of character and professionalism during a mentally stressful time for students. Listen UCSB
