Comment:

Funny guy. Show up on time and pay attention and all you'll have to do is take three tests. Every class consists of him talking and saying the tests answers about 5 times leading up to each test. He hates when you aren't on time though.

Both classes were easy, just go to class and you should do great. He gets really annoyed when you show up late so its best to leave a few minutes early!

Comment:

He's a big fan of FDR and Ronald Reagan. Takes a vested interest in his students. Wants you to visit him in his office to discuss your future plans so he can help you get into law school, graduate school, etc. Don't really need to buy the books. Occasional writing assignment & quizzes. Strict attendance. Show up on time w/ a pulse & you'll pass.

Comment:

Nice guy! Always thanks you for coming into class. Very easy. He gives you all the notes in a packet so if you miss class you don't miss anything. Very understanding - want you to get an A. His viewpoints are kind of outdated and weird but if you aren't interested in politics then its a good ASD class to take. Overall just a nice old man.

Comment:

Worst professor in the department. Do not take anything with him unless you just want to celebrate Ronald Reagan as a demigod for a semester. Easy enough class as long as you keep your head down and follow his insane illogical rhetoric.

Comment:

Took this class to see if I wanted to major in politics, and now I know I'm never going to take another politics class again. Unbelievably boring class. He repeats himself so much and the material he discusses is hardly ever on the test. Attendance is a must otherwise you'll fail.

Comment:

The test are ridiculous. His notes that he gives you do not necessarily match up with the questions on the test. Never touched the book. He cannot hear a thing. Three tests and THATS IT! No other way to bring grade up if you do not test well.

He was a really good professor. He was pretty funny, and reviewed for the test A LOT. He hates it when you're late, though. Overall, just be a respectful student and do the work, and you will be fine.

Comment:

Really not a difficult class but you NEED to read the book in order to do good. I did not read, therefore I did not do good on the book tests (C+). He gave out 3 tests that were half book and half lecture (about 70 q's), and I always did a lot worse on the book ones because I didn't read.

Comment:

Arcuri likes to see students that care. He does not like it when students walk in late. He is excellent in going over material to make sure you understand it. He seems pretty down the middle politically. Very nice guy, has an old school sense of humor.

Comment:

He is a nice guy, but I also feel like he may be closed minded about some subjects (like he tries not to show a bias towards a certain political party but he still does). It can be an easy class but you NEED to study the textbook (we have two tests- book and lecture) The book test is is usually a lot harder for me and other students.

Comment:

Top 3 professor at Stockton. Still excited about teaching after all these years. Really funny. If you show you care, he will care 10x more. Will always help you out. He doesn't like lazy, high school type students. If you listen and read, guaranteed A! There are a few teachers left like him, and he will be missed when he retires.

Comment:

Professor Arcuri is one of the best for sure. I want to stay in college longer than necessary just so I can take more of his classes. He doesn't assume that we know anything already, even if we should know a lot of the basics by the time we get to college. He's funny without being silly. His lecture delivery is excellent. Perfect professor!

Comment:

Good professor but discouraged me from applying to a top law school, saying I could never get admitted. I was admitted and was on law review, before moving onto a successful 20-year career, We all make mistakes, and hopefully Professor Arcuri remembers and learned from that one. Never say never!

Comment:

Whoever has anything bad to say about Arcuri is either crazy or lazy. He expects you to show up to class & show up on time.. & study. You can't coast through his class, you have to take notes and you have to read the book.But he is super funny & repeats things so many times its impossible to miss material if youre paying attention. Take his class!!

Terribly closed minded propaganda distributor. Should not be teaching. Just regurgitate his version of facts and get an easy A if you really must take this course for your major. Avoid at all possible costs.

Had the pleasure of having prof arcuri for three classes and an independent study. He always had an open door and gave me many strategies I use in my middle school classroom now. Really good guy overall.

Comment:

Really great guy! Crazy about attendance but it's for your own good, if you go to class & hear what he's saying you'll do well. 2 parts to every test; lectures & text. Chapters can be kind of long, but as long as you skin and read definitions you can do well on the test. Take notes and you'll do great. Also VERY willing to help when you need it.
