Comment:

I gave this class a difficult level of 3 only because there was a lot of work. But i also took this course online and over the summer in a shorter semester so I had 16 weeks worth of material crammed into 9. The work itself wasn't hard and as long as you turn in your stuff on-time it's an easy A. Prof. Arnott is really nice & will help in any way.

Comment:

This professor is engaging and insightful into economics and how it affects our everyday lives. Only one test for the class, but if you show up and study for the quizzes you should do fine. Also gives a lot of extra opportunities to make up missed or failed quizzes. Very available for his students as well.

Comment:

I learned some really great stuff in this class. He's a cool guy. Wants you to pay attention in class, which is good. ECON: You gotta show up; there's quizzes frequently and on days where there isn't a quiz, there still might be something for a partial quiz grade. He intertwines faith and learning well. Only one test besides the quizzes. I'm a fan!

Try not to take him if you can. Exceedingly arrogant, extremely boring lectures. Very easy A if you can handle showing up and sitting through very vague lectures.

He really knows what he is talking about and is very passionate. Overall, the class was easy, as long as you listen. Scan over the book before class, because you will have quizzes every week. Go to class, he keeps track and I know people who have failed the class due to not showing up. All quizzes, one final and its all quizzes combined

i like Dr. Arnott. Do the homework. I almost maxed out my exams but still made an A- only due to 10 case studies and 10 forum grades. He is a hard grader on case studies and you would think you are in an English class. Would I take again, yes.

I really enjoyed this class and professor. I took the class online over the summer so there was a lot of work. Easy case studies and the exams weren't too hard. I would take another class from him if I could.

Comment:

Fairly good professor. Course schedule vague, little to no interaction with professor. Grammar and spelling errors throughout his side of the class. He appears to be quite self-involved. Class could have been great but was mostly paying for 3 credit hours. I did enjoy the real life applications from the book and the case studies that were provided.

Comment:

Very knowledgable about the material. Assignments alternate between group projects and papers every other week, and he provides outlines and sample papers. He is not personable in the least. He is curt, dry, arrogant, and oftentimes blatantly rude and disrespectful, which is a shame because he's brilliant. Not too difficult, but wouldn't recommend

Also took him for MANA 4340 (Int'l Mgmt). VERY good professor! His understanding of all the material and how it applies to everyday life is amazing. No tests or exams, but you write a good amount of 2 page papers. Would definitely take again for a third time!

Great Teacher! Very knowledgeable on the subject. He is able to reference may of the material to his travelings. Took him for a mini term and it was a breeze! Recommend taking full semester.

I had no interest in the course, but when I went I learned a LOT. We wrote papers every other week, but didn't need a textbook and didn't have any tests. Grades were based on papers and attendance. I learned a lot and the grading was acceptable. Good professor!

Very experienced and knowledgable. Very direct in what he wants. Keeps material relavant and relatable. Kinda of a lot of writing but provides an outline for what he wants. Not easy but not hard - Just a good teacher.

Comment:

He is a great teacher in the classroom, but it does not correlate to the given test. For instance, I took down all of the notes that he had written on the board and reference pages that we talked about in the book. I studied everything that we discussed in class and the notes that I took. But, when he gave us the test, everyone in class Failed.

Knowledgeable and fair, dry sense of humor but funny in his own way, great at putting things in "non-professor" terms.
