Better than expected. Not too fast. Tests are mostly from homework and classwork. Don't skip classes and do your work, you'll get an A.

Comment:

Prof. Andreasyan gives a lot of examples and dislikes it when the class does not participate. He cares about attendance, so if you are late or miss class, he will call you out. He can seem a bit condescending, and if you don't like writing on the board, be on time or just don't take his class. He likes giving out hw, which is helpful but tedious.

Comment:

Dr. Andreasyan is very caring and wants you to succeed. He is accessible outside of class and encourages student's to ask questions. The exams are very straight forward to what was lectured on and he gives you credit for the homework even when you have only done half. He is a great prof. and is trying his best with PCC's new math curriculum!

Comment:

Its a great class... that is if you took pre- calculus and passed it, if not you'll fail this class too; he goes way too fast and uses a book that has problems that are even more difficult than math 9. Students would have trouble with the subject because its not explained too specifically. Find another class that can be more helpful.

I got an A but that is only because I took it in high school and worked super hard. Miss one class and you're done. He cares about his students but he just moves so darn fast. IF YOU HAVE NO BACKGROUND IN PRE-CALC... DO NOT TAKE THIS! Trust me, you will struggle. Homework is 70-90 problems per night with 16 tests, 11 quizzes, plus final. Good luck

He is a really passionate professor who truly cares about our education and the understanding of math. His class does provided you to work/study at least 2 hours a day outside of class. His test are simple, if you do the homework/classwork you'll pass this class.

Dr. A is a wonderful professor; He is always answering any questions the students have. The way he teaches is very clear and you can understand the material quickly. The key to passing this class with a B or an A is to pay attention, ask a question when needed, do your homework and never miss class and if you have to ask a classmate for notes.

Comment:

Andreasyan isn't a good teacher I understood most his lectures only because I took PreCal in HS. Most other students didn't and would often complain about that. Tests are easily passable as they're similar to the study guides he gives out. I had an A overall and got a D in the final, since he doesn't specify as to what to study for the final.

Comment:

He teaches from the book, but knows what he is talking about. In this class there are 7 exams plus final and LOST OF HOMEWORK. Even though there is lots of homework it helps prepare you for the exams. no quizzes. exams are usually easier than homework he assigns and classwork. Great professor overall.

Comment:

He is an extremely caring professor, he assigns a lot of homework but you only have to do 50% of it to be counted (says on syllabus). Before every test, he will go over all the material that will be on it which is very helpful. Although, he goes through material really fast so if you skip you're gonna miss A LOT. Honestly, he isn't a bad professor.

lectures are not bad but he doesn't have much enthusiasm. still, he's a nice guy. you may have to self teach slightly if you don't have previous knowledge on the subject. goes through multiple chapters each day. lots of textbook homework that you must complete. gives classwork (aka study guides) before each test and they do help for the most part.

Comment:

If you plan on learning do not take him. Goes too fast, only cares about saying he taught it when he didn't. If you ask him to go over a problem again he will say there is no time. Only cares about getting through the textbook as fast as he can. He expects you to know how to do the math already, skips over chapters because of this expectation.

Comment:

very nice teacher, sometimes funny during class but he can't teach! he gives way too much hw and doesn't review over it and he zooms through multiple lessons in one day. the lessons are very dense and the examples he does in class are much simpler than the ones he gives on the tests so when you go over your notes, it's not helpful at all.

Comment:

Do not take him. His lectures are extremely dry, he gives way too much homework that makes sense, and his teaching style is horrible. I am usually an average student in math, but his class takes me back to square one of not understanding. I am stressing out over his workload because I am basically teaching myself at this point. DO NOT TAKE HIM

Comment:

This guy is by far the worst professor I have taken. Generally, I have been average in math, but I am not learning anything at all. His lectures are so long and BORING. He assigns way too much homework and most of the problems he didn't explain. He uses no transitional words either so you never know if he's talking about a new topic or not

By Far the worst math Professor ever. He expects you to know the material the first day of class. He goes through the chapters very fast! He does not explain at all. His test are very hard. He assigns lots of homework, a lot of the times homework includes problems in which he did not teach at all. Avoid taking him.

He's a nice teacher, however he's very bland, and not excited to teach. I felt like ferris beuller. i dropped the class because the lectures were SO boring. He also doesnt explain the problems, just works them out way too quickly.

Comment:

His personality is bleh, but his passion for math helped me in this class. Lectures are easy to understand and thorough. If confused, he'll try his best to explain in different ways. Do the homework! It's tedious but he gives credit if you do just ONE problem. Take notes and study! He gives study guides before very quiz which helps A LOT!
