Reviews of professor Karen Papazian

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
We had one assignment all year, which was a case study, and she graded everyone really hard. There was only a couple 100% on the case studies, which is alarming when that is the only assignment all year. The class is extremely boring, notes every day. Her tests have no study guide and it's unclear what you have to study. She doesn't use Brightspace

BADM 1040 is an easy class to begin with, but she is a good professor. Don't bother getting the book, her powerpoints are enough. Her slides are straightforward and so are her quizzes. Don't skip class either or you will miss all the info for the quiz. One short paper but easy if you pay attention to her lecture.

Class itself is a joke. Especially that we had to take 4950 and International Business afterwards. I wouldn't say I had takeaways from this class nor will I use the stuff I learned in this class in the future. Professor herself was great and kind, just be alarmed that there's no study guide and she will ask you specific statistical figures in tests

There was a lecture in every single class, and they were sometimes boring, but always thorough. She grades on participation, one case study, attendance, and two exams. In each lecture, you are given a starred section to know for the upcoming exam. Some exam questions are random and will catch you off guard though, so might as well study everything.

Content can be confusing, especially for someone like me with ZERO finance knowledge. Some quick and hard to understand concepts, but she provides GREAT excel outlines and presentations with notes. The material is difficult but shes reachable and there to help. Highly recommend if you want to actually learn.

I took Professor Papazian's Accounting 300 class at CSUCI. She is a good professor with clear grading criteria on the assignments and tests. She gives partial or full credit if you show her the effort your put in for the assignments. Highly recommend taking her class for all Business majors! :)

Professor Papazian was great. Her BADM 1040 class only requires 1 case study and 2 fairly easy exams. This is a BADM class so it isn't for a lot of credits but she did a great job at making the course engaging and effective. I would highly recommend taking her class.
