Comment:
Don't know why people seem to think he's so nice, he's really arrogant and thinks he's so much higher and mightier than the people on this planet, when he's really not. His tests and classes are pretty easy, as long as you do the readings and understand the material.

I cannot say enough about Richard Kezeirian. I will say I switched my major to History due to him and have been teaching History for 18 years. He is first and foremost a teacher of History. His exams were modeled after the University of California so I left well prepared. Thank you Rich!

AWESOME teacher. Very helpful, but you need to study. If you go to class and participate, he's more likely to cut you some slack in grading. Just communicate with him. He's very easy to work with

Very very good professor. He knows alot. The tests are essay format and aren't really hard you don't have enough time to write everything down that you need to. And he grades hard on top of that. So even if you know all your stuff you might get a lower grade if you run out of time

Professor Kezirian is the best teacher I have ever had in college. Although he is extremely difficult, he makes class interesting and actually cares about you. I cannot say enough about this man except thank you for making me a better college student and person all together.

Comment:
Mr. Kezirian is passionate about the subject and his motivation to drive each student to do their best is easily seen every class. The tests are generally three parts (all essay) two part lecture based and one based off of a book. The tests are difficult, but if you attend every lecture and take good notes you should pass the class.

Hands down the best professor at MPC. Fascinating lectures, tests on par with UC Berkeley standards, and a great attitude. Take at least one of his classes.

He is extremely passionate about history! His tests were essay format, and we went over possible essay questions with the class the day before the exams. Great teacher!

He is the best history teacher i've had at any college. If you can find a decent summary of the novels he assigns online you don't really need to read them, and I personally never used the textbook either, but he does increase your grade if you do. You need to study a decent amount to get an A, but he definately makes it interesting.

Fantastic teacher, I don't understand how people are saying you don't use the book when I started incorporating the book into my exams my grades jumped like 15 points. He loves the extra effort and can really tell. And the passion he puts into the class shows when he grades ALL the exams and gives them back the next day

Pr. Kezirian is a fabulous teacher! I love his humorous and passionate lecture style, and he really bends over backwards to help students with any and every thing. His tests are hard, but they were also the only tests I took at MPC which adequately prepared me for a UC. DO NOT miss lecture, because good note taking is essential. Enjoy!

Professor Kezerian is one of the best teachers at MPC. I hated History before his classes and now I love it. He doesn't use a textbook so you do need to show up for class to take notes. He is very enthusiastic about History and will get you enthused about it too.

Fantastic teacher, do not take if your not into taking notes because you would be in for a wake-up call. Very approachable and willing to go into greater depth during office hours. I have now taken him for Hist 17,18,4 and am in 5 now, he really is one of my top 5 teachers

A wonderful history professor if I've ever seen one! Always willing to clarify a statement, talk after class, and make allowances for students who aren't quite "getting it" yet. That said, it's hard to take tests with him, as they are all essays, sometimes without any options on what to write, and he's a hard grader. All in all, a great teacher!
