Comment:

By no means is this class easy, and this professor doesn't necessarily make it easier, but it's not impossible to learn, like some people make it seem here. This professor is obviously very intelligent and is willing to explain any question anyone has. It helps to sit closer to the front of the room (common sense) to understand him, as he's old.

Comment:

Exams are very difficult. Read each chapter and do as many problems as you can; thats the only way youll pass the exams. He has terrible time management. He lingered on 2 chapters for weeks, then 1 week before the final assigned more hw and left us to cover 4 chapters, all of which were on the final. His accent does NOT effect understanding him

Comment:

One of the worst educators I've ever had. He is a really nice guy, but his ability to teach is next to zero. His exams are insanely hard, especially since you'll be teaching the material to yourself. His curve is huge because the majority of the class fails. Avoid at all costs, not an exaggeration. Don't take his class if you don't HAVE to.

Comment:

This guy would talk ONE chapter for half semester, then he would expect you to know Eight Chapters for the midterm. (Yes, you are right, you would listen to him talking 1 chapter, then test you on all 8 chapters for the midterm) Then, he would talk another 1-2 Chapters, then put a final exam which requires you to know all other chapters. Hilarious.

This professor is nice, really he is sweet. His teaching style is boring but if you pay attention you will learn a little. Just read on your own to be honest, you'll learn better. Forget office hours I feel like he doesn't even understand what he is teaching himself.

I feel obligated, morally, to tell every single student considering taking a class with Arenberg to please avoid for the sake of your quality of life and happiness from going to this school. This class and professor is a challenge in so many ways, not just the material itself. More cons than pros, simply put.

Comment:

He is horrible!! ! He spent the whole semester on 1 chapter, then rushes through 5 chapters for the final and expect you to cram all the information. Doesnt explain in much detail, and its a difficult course, boring lectures and he doesnt care if the whole class fails! The average for midterm was about 64. No extra Credit and disorganized!

Comment:

The topic is hard itself and he doesn't make it easier. He can spend few classes talking about the same topic then all of the sudden rushes through 3 chapters in 2 classes. Grade is based on Midterm which is 60% of the total grade and final which is 40% of the total grade. Lots of optional hw. if you're trying to keep a good GPA then avoid him.

Comment:

He's a kind old man but this will be the most boring class you will ever take. He seems to be in love with what he's teaching but not exactly able to break it down and explain it to the class in a simplified way. Everyone fails so he has to give huge curves, which could work in your favor if you teach yourself enough to do ok.

Smart man, but a horrid professor. Your grade will be 40/60 midterm/final. He spent two weeks talking about how to solve for the slope and then out of nowhere started saying "We have to hurry," and speeds through the rest of the course. Tests were impossible, he's always late, you will learn nothing.

Took him for microeconomics to say I didnt learn anything would be an understatement. He is very nice but if you dont understand something instead of explaining it again he says to see him during office hours are you kidding me!? Do yourself a favor and take someone else.

Had him for two classes and it was torture. Hes a nice guy but I didn't learn absolutely nothing. He gives curves because like everyone fails. I got like D's in his classes destroyed my good GPA! Mind you I always get A's in my classes. BEWARE! !!

First off tests are nothing like what is given for homework or the examples in class. I took him despite the reviews and I'm not sure if that was a good idea yet. He offers help in regards to homework but if the questions on the exam floor you s much as they did me, it wont matter.

Please I am begging you believe the reviews don't make the same mistake I did. Your GPA will drop taking him. Statistics is an easy class if your professor explains it correctly which he doesn't AT ALL. Test are completely different from what he gives you to for homework. He needs to retire lecture are long and boring waste of time and money.

Midterm 40, Final 60. Exams are hard but graded with a substantial curve. Lectures are very technical and boring. Be prepared to do most of the learning on your own via homework which is not mandatory but essential if you want to do good. As long as you memorize the formulas and their application, you will do well.

Comment:

Be advised this instructor sees students only limited to his office hours. There is no review sheet for both midterm and final and if you want to pass read the chapters and do the CH. reviews. The class is basically self-taught. This professor is extremely smart but is inept to teach. Save your GPA. I never got less than a B and this says a lot.
