Historical instructor
Original student reviews · all captured dates
Spends more time talking about the fact that he is from New York or went to college California than actually teaching. Makes us lead the class but interrupts and goes on 20-45 minute tangents. At one point took student's work and presented it to the class instead of allowing them to present.Rate My Professors ↗
Doesn't teach english. Taught some high school history before and his lack of experience shows. Assigned readings and writings that were not really relative to the course topics. Very easy class grading wise but hard to sit through and listen to him make jokes that are not even close to funny. Easy A though.Rate My Professors ↗
Arun is a really good teacher because he gives you really good feedback and he lets you rewrite your essays until you get full credit. He's pretty funny and is really easy to talk to. I'd definitely recommend taking this class if you want to get an easy A and still learn from the class.Rate My Professors ↗
