Arnold is just an AMAZING professor he is so beyond helpful if you have any questions he is always happy to answer them. His lectures are always interesting and he makes sure that as long as you come to class you will pass. All he has is tests but as long as you do the review you will get an A. I highly recommend him for any Criminal Justice class!

Awesome professor. One of my favorites. All his classes are him telling stories and real life experience of being in law enforcement. Just put your phone away and listen, participate when appropriate and don't be afraid to ask questions. If you are a Seminoles fan.... Beware!!

Comment:

Professor Arnold is by far the most personable and down to earth educator on our campus. He is a retired officer and his love for his subject is felt through his lectures. He can ramble sometimes but you better pay attention because some of his best advice and stories come out through those ramblings. 10/10, my all time favorite!

Comment:

Prof. Arnold is one of the most down to earth and solid instructors I have had at SCF. He presents a clear syllabus and follows it. He takes real world events and his experience and makes the application of US government interesting. I found myself more empowered from his discussions. Hes quite a character. I would take him again.

Best teacher I've ever had. Took him for the majority of the criminal justice classes offered and was never disappointed. His tests are extremely easy if you study the review he gives. Not to mention he always has awesome and interesting stories from when he was a cop. Amazing teacher.

I took Prof. Arnold Spring of 2017 and he was hands down the best Professor I've ever had. He is very straight forward, and lays out what he expects from the very beginning, there are no surprises. The CJC 1000 class specifically revolved around 6 major tests. There was no homework, or group work. Don't take this class if you can't take notes.

Absolutely LOVE this class ! I commend his teaching style. He may come off as a little rude but,he is clear and to the point with his directions. He makes class humorous and interesting by lecturing based on REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES instead of reading out of the book. Guaranteed A if you study your review. offers EC for participation and Attendance.

It's scary someone can receive a criminal law degree from his classes. An ape can pass this class with ease. Take it if you wanna sleep your way to an A, while learning practically nothing.

Comment:

Isn't very helpful if you have any questions. The only reason you pass his class is because the reviews are basically the test. He is very rude, especially if you like Florida State and often makes snide remarks about people who go there. All he does is tell boring stories about being a cop, nothing to do with government.

Had this professor during a summer course. Was very clear about the structure of the course. Has great lectures. It is beneficial that he is an excop and shares his experiences. Very easy class to pass

Arnold is the best professor there is. He really cares for his students. You only take 5 tests, and he gives bonus points for people who volunteer in class. Sometimes lectures for the whole class and the other times he doesn't talk much at all. Talks about his days of being a cop and the advice he gives, comes in handy. Easy A if you're into law.

Comment:

Arnold is an amazing professor, and has some entertaining old police stories. You only have 5 tests that you're graded on, and a final that is optional if you either have an "A" or do the other 5 tests. You'll always have a review the class before your test and it tells you what you need to know for every question.
