This is the second class I took with Prof. Nurbekyan and so far he's the best instructor I had. He explains every concept really clearly and really cares about student learning. I felt like he gave a great understanding of not just the concept but some of its interesting implications, and at the end of the quarter I felt like I had a great grasp of the concepts taught.
The class itself sounds really interesting at first, but then there was lots of physics involved which is least favorite topic for almost every math major. Syllabus consist of 20% hw (typically 5-6 question but grading on it was pretty tough), 15% group project (which was very engaging and helpful), 35% midterm and 30% final (which both where really difficult to solve)
The class itself is pretty easy, especially if you know basic calculus already.
The lectures aren't the best, but you can tell the professor is doing his best. His tests aren't very hard but the grading is a little iffy. The curve is pretty generous though.
I'm not a math major but I took this class as one of my TBR engineering courses, the class material is hard but Professor Nurbekyan was great. His lectures were better than any of my engineering courses. He's very clear and caring for students. The class is based on weekly HWs (which first 4-5 was very long but rest was fine), 3 short midterms (were he droped the lowest one), and a final exam (longer than midterms but doable). Overall I recommend him for this class.
Prof. Nurbekyan is great! He explains every concept really clearly and really cares about student learning.

This class was definitely tough as you might expect from UCLA's intro to proof-based math class. The workload was pretty heavy, especially for the first few assignments, but got much better later on in the course. Definitely be prepared for his tests, as they can be pretty tricky. He only tests on material that he went over in class, but his problems usually seem to be written by himself and require some cleverness and intuitive insight to solve. Despite the heavy workload I felt that the work actually helped me understand the material better.
Overall I would definitely take this class with him again. The conceptual understanding you gain is great and well worth all the effort as this class will set you up for success in future math calsses.
Levon tries and cares about his students. However, sometimes he's not very clear or explains things in a very complicated way. I took AP Calc AB and it wasn't difficult. I mostly sat at the back of his lecture on my computer taking notes when I heard something new or something that I didn't quite remember. I think it was his first time teaching because the first midterm was so easy almost everyone got a perfect score, then the second one was pretty hard, but the final was fair. The homework wasn't so bad, around ten or fifteen problems per week, all from the textbook.
I'm selling the textbook, Single Variable Calculus Fourth Edition $80 *************
Not sure what the background is from these other reviews but I'm going to be honest and say he is not that good of a professor. No study guides for midterms or finals, talks to the board instead of the class and expects you to know topics ahead of time. I do have little to no experience in calculus and it kinda sucked taking him. He is a very nice person but I don't believe he knows how to structure or teach a course just yet... I only recommend you take him if you already have lots of previous knowledge in calc otherwise goodluck..
