Comment:

This guy is the worst professor i have taken including my time at community college. This guy has the worst structure of a course i have ever seen. Firstly pay attention on the labs bc the very first lab everyone loses at least 20% make sure you do the review at the end of the lab and dont miss a single question. And his quizzes are impossible

Get ready to read. When you think you've read the chapter well enough, read it again. Literally all of the exams are from the chapter and power points, so it's really up to you whether you do well or not.

Comment:

Absolutely bewildering how he hasn't been canned yet. Each class consists of a mindless lecture reciting the slides, but don't worry; even if you pay attention, it won't help come time for his "anything goes" style "quizzes" that consist of 30+ questions. You're better off just reading the book, but of course attendance is part of the grade..

Comment:

Arndt is awful, but he is the only professor teaching this class for the foreseeable future, so here's how to pass: read every chapter word-for-word. Twice. His lectures are 75 minutes of monotonous slide-reading and are of no help in digesting the material. "Quizzes" are an absurd 50 questions long. Attendance is now 10% of your grade as well.

Comment:

This guy is a piece of work let me tell you. his 4 "quizzes" are 50 question each and he doesn't give you anything specific to study just read. his final is 100 questions DON'T go to his class he is monotone and very very quite you cant hear a word he says &he grades with how he likes students so if you ever challenge him youll drop a letter grade

Comment:

Very inconsistent tests. Learn about images, audio, and video, questions on test about who invented the internet. PowerPoints are not helpful, they're structured poorly, even have misspelled words. Tough assignments with no help. Boring class, feels like the teacher doesn't really want to be there.

Comment:

Recited from PowerPoint. Knowledgeable about the subject (graduate Computer Architecture), but not very effectual at transferring his knowledge to the class. He was vague when telling us what would be on tests, often telling us they would not have math and they would have math anyway (and I didn't copy the formulas to my note card).

only goes over ppt, and keep you responsible from text books which he never opened it during the class and ppt slides that he skipped. very poor grading, and hard confusing test, give assignments which he never teach, it is your responsibility to rearch and do it.

You would learn nothing from this professor. Refused to give any credits for solving a problem using my own method. Avoid taking this class with this professor at all costs
