Reviews of professor Ara Kechiantz

Awful experience. The semester ended 4 days ago and he still has not graded assignments from 2 months ago. I have no idea where I stood in this class going into the final. As many others mentioned, the assignment dates were all seemingly random and some were from 2022-2017, so they did not appear on the course assignments list.

Very difficult to speak to and communicate with. He does not have any sense of understanding for students and frankly seems like he does not care. Students ask him about questions regarding the projects in class and he tells them to pay attention, instead of actually answering the question. Please avoid! He will drive you insane, and grades harshly

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!! No matter what. He is a TERRIBLE teacher, and definitely not suitable to teach an introduction class for programming. Our class average was around 60%. You have to do a project, classwork, revlon chapter and more every week. He doesn't even teach anything. This class is already challenging, and he makes it harder.

Horrible professor. Due dates are seemingly random days of the week every week, asks for way too much personal information, and doesn't actually teach anything themselves. The course is extremely difficult to navigate and I would AVOID taking ANY classes with the at ALL COSTS. I've never had a course so bad that I had to leave a review on this site

You will not learn a thing from him, everything I've learned has been from the textbook. Accent is real heavy, he won't understand what you ask him. Will spend the whole class on one part of the chapter when there are like 15 parts of the chapter. Work is easy enough by just looking at examples from the textbook.

He likes to take points off Projects, Homework, Discussions, and Classwork without telling you ahead of time.  Shifting due dates is expected.  Some materials supposedly have 2-3 attempts, but ended up having only 1 attempt before due dates. Look at the Syllabus, if it is not appealing, drop the class... fast!  I have had better instructors!

After our midterm we got told that he "doesn't know why we are not learning" and when we try to participate in clase he asks us to "say what we think, that there is not right or wrong answer" but when we start speaking he says "If you don't know then we move to the next person"

How is this professor not fired from there job yet? This is the worse professor ever. Will plan on dropping this course soon most likely. Instructions unclear, spams people, lies and spreads misinformation, wastes time, isn't helpful, doesn't mention more things on instructions, material's way too confusing, etc. Avoid this professor at all costs.

This professor does not know what it means to teach, maybe he never read a book in his life.
