Comment:

This professor is the pure definition of genius. Three exams and one paper to get an A. Exams are identifying key terms in 7-8 sentences. The book review is to get you an A, only offers it to top students though. You'll need to take good notes to ace class and reading is bare minimum but if you have bad notes, you'll study more than necessary

Comment:

Take this class. No one makes history more interesting and clear than this professor. He is very knowledgeable on all topics/subjects. Makes an unenjoyable topic enjoyable. His tests are easy if you take notes and know what is going on.

This class is no joke. Lectures get boring but the professor is extremely passionate about history. You cannot do well in this class without knowing the book inside out. Readings are a must and just taking notes from the lectures will barely pass you.

This is by far the best and most knowledgeable professor I have had. He intergrates all forms of history when teaching off the top of his head. Amazing. Be prepared to write carefully because he will read every word of your paper. Excellent. Highly recommended.

Was in this class in Sept 2001 when the 9/11 attacks happened. He did a great job immediately adding current events to the curriculum and putting what was happening in a historical context. Great professor.

Comment:

Took World Civilizations with him. Be prepared to spend time reading the book. Gives terms for the exams on which you need to write 8-10 lines about based on your reading from the text book. Taking notes helps too. But focus more on the book. Recommend him if you are interested in History.

Comment:

Professor Abrahamian is an excellent History Professor. If you like to read, I recommend him, but as he says: "If you're allergic to reading, don't take this course." Read your book, take good notes during lectures, and do the BOOK REPORT. If you can do that, you will earn an A for the course.

Comment:

Absolutely superb Professor. He is a true historian and gives amazing lectures. If you are a history major you must take one of his classes b/c you will learn the subject in depth. He is difficult but if you are in college you should be taking your work seriously. If you don't, you will probably think he is too hard.

YOu will only receive an "A-" even if you aced the midterm and final. you will need to do an extra book report to get an "A." His exams will test the things you read from the text. like others said, his exams are terminology definitions.

Comment:

The best professor. I enjoyed his lectures. He is very nice and helpful. In my mind he is a genius. I even bought one of his books about Iran. I also watched youtube videos of him talking about the history of Iran. Great professor. On the exams he gives terms where you have to write a paragraph to explain the terms. Got an A.

Very good Professor. Takes class very seriously and expects you to do the same. Moderate workload, he is a very fair grader. Expects you to be prepared to every class and to do all the required readings. As long as you do all your work, participate, and make a sincere effort you will do just fine.

GPA Killer!!! Very hard professor, must be a history major for an average grade. Only allowed A students extra credit book report??? Like they need it anyway, spits out info, must be a fast note taker and know what is pertintent and what's not, coming to class with a background is a must!!! Overall there are much easier professors out there.
