Raffi is an amazing teacher. He is so kind, supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable, and open to completely different perspectives.

His passion for the subject matter and clear communication is unparalleled.

Loved every moment of this course.

The first class I actually gained ‘knowledge’ rather than just information.

He was excellent at taking difficult philosophers like Kant and explaining their arguments in easy to understand ways. Probably one of my top 3 favorite professors I’ve had at Penn.

Raffi inspires.

Raffi is the real deal. He genuinely cares about all his students, and he is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that they're truly learning and enjoying the material.

I could go on and on about how wonderful it's been to have him as a professor!

Raffi was always personable and engaging, and his obvious curiosity and engagement in the material was often contagious.

Raffi is the most inclusive philosophy professor I’ve had, creating a safe & critical space for metaphysical & historical inquiry.

Raffi has thus far been the best instructor I have had in my three years of study at the University of Pennsylvania. He is very knowledgeable in his field and is eager to share his knowledge with each one of his students. Raffi uses his creativity in lesson planning to keep his students engaged, and no two class periods were perfectly alike.
