Comment:

Best professor I had at USF. I always looked forward to his classes (I had a few) and it was because of him that I changed my major to Geography. To this day, whenever I hear about a dam, I say, "DAMN". He didn't like dams.

Comment:

I am not one of Henry Aruffo's students. I met him during the tsunami relief efforts in Thailand last year and was amazed at his dedication to helping the people affected. He organized over 100 scuba divers to clean and restore the coral reefs as volunteers. He was so sick he could barely stand but he was still helping the tsunami victims.

WOW!!! I never had so much fun learning something. Too a course in underwater Video in Phuket, Thailand at Coral Reef Institute and was very satisfied with the results of my course. My first dive was with eight giant Manta rays - second dive was with a Whale Shark. Fantastic! Aruffo is a great educator and conservationist.

Aruffo is not at USF anymore. He is now teaching at Coral Reef Institute in Phuket, Thailand. Still the best instructor ever - I took two courses with him in Florida and when I found out he was in Thailand I came here to learn more from him. Fantastic educational experience during my "Semester under the Sea"

What a kick-ass teacher! USF should really regret losing him. One of my favorite teachers ever! Finding a college professor that actually cares about his/her students and has a sincere passion for what they do is hard to find. Aruffo absolutely ROCKS!

Had a 4.0 gpa. Syllabus didn't state that he uses +/-. Finished with an A-, worked my ass off. Ruined my gpa and now I have a 3.97. I hate this man. studied harder for his class than I did for Organic Chemistry, got an A-. FU Aruffo!
