Comment:

Arno refussed to let me see my final. His teaching metod is scattered. He doesn't know how to use technology and took forever setting up for class. Photography is my passion and this class was a total let down! Don't take Arno for anything!

Don't take Past to Present Photo with this Professor you will be making a huge mistake!!!!! For 1 he is never in class which we all in the class liked but when he was there he put so much stuff down you cant even take notes in the class! 2 he does not have a good knowledge of teaching he just puts up pics and says a few things about them!

Comment:

What can be said? Absolutely brilliant man who can teach -he could teach anything if you gave him the textbook! But photography is his passion so that is what he teaches. Neither easy nor frustrating, so don't worry about it but work hard at his classes. He's very good at talking and lecturing so his lectures are quite pleasant to attend.

I can say with confidence that Arno is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. He taught me how to look through a viewfinder and see the world with a different perspective. His approach toward students is so patient and understanding.

Comment:

Arno was a great teacher - always willing to offer advice on how to improve ones work, and he didn't make people feel bad for getting grades other than A's (although he gave me an A, which was surprising). A quiet guy who loves his Mini Cooper.
