Winter 2025 - I dont usually leave reviews for classes, but I just felt I had to for this one. Every class was very interesting and I always looked forward to coming to class. Professor Hovhanissyan knows a lot about Armenian history, language, culture, traditions, and society. You will learn many new things every day. The topics are very interesting; we discussed Armenian holidays, old traditions, new changes in Armenian society, and many other miscellaneous topics. The class is almost entirely just a discussion between the professor and the students. Its a small class and you will do very well if you show up to class. Professor Hovhanissyan is very kind and cares deeply about each student. She gives each student a chance to participate. Homework assignments were usually watching a video or podcast that we would then discuss in class. The class is done in Armenian. I didn’t speak that good but she understood and I still did very well. I also learned how to speak better Armenian. Overall, I would recommend this class to anyone at UCLA interested in learning about Armenian society. Professor Hovhanissyan and this class specifically also inspired me to pursue the Armenian Studies Minor.
