Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
Worst teacher I have no doubt. He rambles about a specific problem for ten minutes that he does mostly in his head, and then gets it wrong in the end. Switch out ASAP don't make my mistake.Rate My Professors ↗

Worst professor I've had so far. He spent more time rambling about the square root of 2 than teaching calc.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Screws you with the curve at the end. Curve was completely unreasonable compared to other 221 professors. 15% A unbelievably small AB range. Next 30% B. Too tough of a curve for science and math major calculus. DO NOT TAKE.Rate My Professors ↗

He just cannot teach the principles of calculus well; I am sure that he is very knowledgeable, but he cannot convey that information to students in a relatively easy manner. I like his personality. His exams are relatively easy if you master the homework problems.Rate My Professors ↗

If you have to chose between having Arnold as your lecturer and not taking the class, DONT TAKE THE CLASS. If you have any common sense, do not take anything he's teaching. He gives tenured teachers a bad name. Time to retire, ArnieRate My Professors ↗

Everything he goes over in class is useless and will probably only make the class harder for you, so don't bother. He is incapable of explaining concepts in multiple ways (which made epsilon/delta proofs impossible), and unless you have previous experience or a good TA, you'll end up lost. Avoid it.Rate My Professors ↗
