Comment:

Dry and dull, perhaps, but that may come with the territory. Granted, the early hours didn't help, nor did his near-monotony... but the class itself was fairly straightforward, and far from difficult. Review questions would often show up again on the tests, which made it easy enough to get on by with a small amount of review.

Puts the review questions online and the review questions are the ONLY questions that are on the test. The same exact questions. Maybe the easiest class ever.

Comment:

I really wanted to learn in this class, but I only learned how to take tests. Lectures are extremely boring but notes are online, so most people didn't go to class.You only need to study the review questions to know whats on the test. Also grades HW so I paid for the textbook website acsess just for that. Easy A but take Delano's class.

Comment:

Dr. Arnason really knows his stuff. His notes are quite organized. He grades homework which helps to supplement your overall grade. His tests are really hard, mostly because they are too long, however he does curve. He also gives "pop" quizzes, but so far has "hinted" us about what is on them. Don't let the others discourage you.

A good guy. Tests are OK. MONOTONE VOICE!!(puts you to sleep! no joke!) if you fall asleep easily in class, This man is your worst nitemare. Notes are online, uses CourseCompass and posts online review quizzes, a lot of test questions are derived from the ones online. Not that bad of a Professor...

Notes were online, the tests were fair if you went to class fairly regularly and read over the notes. Not overly exciting as a professor, but very knowledgable

The guy knows his stuff, and he's a very kind and knowledgable professor, however HE CANNOT TEACH. This Stanford graduate should just stick to research.
