Comment:
Professor Gasarian is so kind and supportive. He makes you feel heard and understood and takes the pressure off of participating in class even if your French isn't perfect. He's funny and makes the class very engaging - and is clearly so knowledgable about what he teaches. He gives good feedback too. I completely recommend taking a class with him!

Comment:
Mr. Gasarian is a godsend. He is the best French professor I've ever had...I believe I've taken 5 classes with him at Tufts. I will say that he does speak a great deal during lecture which can drag on. However, he is so passionate and devoted to our growth as French speakers and thinkers. TAKE HIS CLASS! Grades put in work, see it in your grade.

Comment:
Gasarian has a great sense of french classical literature and is keen to guide his students in understanding it. His lectures can get off-course, but are always interesting. He's not communicative outside of class, but he is a fair grader and goes over common errors in papers. Would take another course with him.

Comment:
Professor Gasarian is passionate about French literature and helps you discuss it in an interesting, engaging way. He is such a gem. He does talk a lot during class, so you have to assert yourself to get some more student discussion, but it is a great experience. Very easy grader and gives great essay prompts.

Comment:
The reviews here are true - Gerard exceeded all my expectations. A brilliant scholar, Gasarian is also a fantastic, funny professor. This is nitpicking, but I would say that class discussion can be sparse - only because he integrates students into the class so well. The flip side is that you get to hear his illuminating interpretations of texts.

Excellent, engaging, encouraging, and kind professor. One of those rarities that doesn't force conversation or humiliate students- but rather seamlessly ties together multiple comments from students and encourages everyone to participate.

Comment:
Gasarian is theee best. The only problem I've ever had with him is that he's so awesome that everyone wants to take his class, so the waitlist is huge and he lets everyone join and it gets WAY TOO BIG. Other than that, he's INCREDIBLE.

Extremely brilliant. He can take even the most confusing comments and make them into something really interesting, and he's really knowledgeable on the stuff he teaches. Also, he speaks so smoothly that I swear my fluency in French doubled just by listening to him twice a week.

Very insightful teacher, likes to put class at ease but not in any way an "easy" class. Always smiling, encourages class discussion, even for more shy students. Actually made me feel smart.

One of the most unique & best professors that I have had. Extremely bright & adds a wealth of insight to the class discussion. Respects each individual's views and ties them in to the main themes of the readings. Good sense of humor and doesn't put too much weight on participation.
