Comment:
He gets angry if you criticise anything like the time limit of the exams, extremely egoistic as he will tell you to drop the class a million times during the whole semester. Not very helpful and may actually get angry if you dont understand something. Only take this class if you want to ruin your mental health and self confidence. Worst.

Decent prof. Difficult class though. Pass this if you want to be in the honours program. Since this is sort of the 'gatekeeper' to honours, it's famously hard. 4 long assignments, hard midterm, fair final. Need good discrete math knowledge to pass. Prof cares about the students but will encourage them to drop if he feels they can't pass.

Once you choose this course with this prof, congratulations! welcome to hell my friend! Notes are all handwriting, even cuneiform writing is better than his notes. Assignment is pretty hard. However, if compare assignment to the mid, assignment is incredibly ez. He has been persuading students to drop the course a whole semaster! worst prof ever!

This prof isn't bad but don't argue with him, if he doesn't agree with you just move on. He will repeatedly try to make you drop the course and he will tell you "how there can be 90 students in this course, there are only 30 of you who are strong enough in math". Just chill and do the problems until you are fast at solving them... really fast

Very nice person with a great personality. The course might not be easy for some students (but if you have the required background, you'll understand everything). However,the way he teaches makes you enjoy the class and more importantly, LEARN something! Be ready to study hard. He also marks the exams with much attention and very nice. RECOMMENDED!

Comment:
He is very knowledgable and loves what he teaches BUT the lectures aren't that much useful especially if you haven't pre studied everything. You can not really ask anything in the class coz he is very hard going to answer questions since he has a lot of expectations from students' bachelor's degrees knowledge. Also, he gets angry a lot and badly!

The course itself is very interesting but he is quite strict about marking as other math profs do. I found midterm was very easy but final was very hard. Be prepared for proofs and how to apply them.

For me COMP 232 was a demanding course which required considerable amount of study and also 100% focus on the material in the class. Prof. Harutyunyan is the master of keeping students engaged in his class until the last minute. I enjoyed every moment of his class. would definitely take him again.

One of the best profs at Concordia in the CS dept. He is smart and knows what he is talking about and he makes his classes enjoyable. I highly recommend taking his classes and get ready to study hard but also learn a lot of useful information

Excellent Teacher. My initial conversation with him telling me to drop the course after I had missed 3 classes, however if you show that you care and willing to work he will help you in anyway he can, he is very accommodating and very kind. The material wasn't easy but extremely rewarding. One of my favourite teachers at Concordia.

Pretty laid back guy. Very hard grader. He seems to switch subjects a lot when asked questions for whatever reason. Wants you to pass but doesn't really put in the effort in terms of effective teaching. Just reads a single set of slides. Assignments are hard and tests are very hard. Attendance counts and is taken via the iClicker system.

One of my favorite professors at Concordia and I believe we need more like him at the university. He loves what he teaches unlike many others. If you don't like computer science theory/math don't take his courses because they are heavy on that. You need to study A LOT to pass his courses, his exams will clearly show how much you studied.

Worst teacher ever, I have never seen such a demotivating professor in my life. For him if you don't score good marks in his course, you have failed in your life and you will not achieve anything. The way he talks and deals with students vary based on their marks.

I love this teacher! He is the best, he is so caring and enthusiastic about making students learn and thrive in their studies. The one thing I dislike about him is how he doesn't teach classes during winter cuz I'd have loved to have him as a teacher for my other classes. I'm forever grateful to this man for the patience and concern he has shown me

The professor presents everything clearly. He is very nice, always reachable, and the most important, he cares for students, he is concerned that students understand the material and learn something. You can learn a lot and expect to get positive and encouraging feedback. Don't worry about grades, he is a generous marker. Take him for sure!

He is an excellent professor. Treats students very well. The course is hard though by it's nature. You as a student try to do your best and he will help you a lot. He tries to make the course fun for you. 100% recommended for this course.
