Armbrecht thinks he's real cool but I found him to be more arrogant and self-righteous. definitely more interested in hearing himself talk than students learning. Frequently unprepared for class, either with the wrong course's material or without a clear plan.. lectures jump around A LOT, and he speaks english all the time. Wouldn't recommend.Rate My Professors ↗
He was teaching basically the same material to graduate students, and it showed that he didn't regard our class as anything important. He took forever to return papers, he was disorganized, and didn't have any consistency during lectures. There was no direction and you never knew what he expected on papers.Rate My Professors ↗
The class is pretty interesting and he gets you to think differently. But, he is disorganized and expects too much out of you.Rate My Professors ↗
Really hard to get a solid A. Very interactive, focuses on improvement. Lots of reading.Rate My Professors ↗
He's a good teacher, but he speaks very fast; faster than any french people I've met. It takes some getting used to at first. It's an overall good class with a lot of variety, but we covered a lot of the same stuff I learned in high school.Rate My Professors ↗
There was a LOT to cover in this class, but he made the material interesting and definitely wanted to help all of the students succeed. Really likes to teach and it shows! He's a little bit quirky at times, but it's definitely worth taking a class with him.Rate My Professors ↗
