Reviews of professor Christopher Arnold

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very smart professor, knows his stuff. Not animated or enthusiastic though and is soft spoken. Slides were cryptic, so take good notes. If you are confused with anything you need to speak up because he goes through a lot of material. You need to study and know material to do well on tests, can't just wing it.

I dont understand how he got his PhD. He doesnt understand his own lecture slides and told the class he didnt want to create more work for himself when administering the test. Taking him will make you want to change your major.

When I tell you he is not the best professor, I MEAN IT!!!! Basically all of your assignments are graded on if it agrees with his opinion, his voice is monotone so you easily zone out, he reads off the powerpoint slides, he is not flexible with grading, his exams are hard & have NOTHING to do with whatever he goes over, ETC. DO. NOT. TAKE. HIM.

I think most of Dr. Arnold's reviews here don't do him justice. He's a very knowledgable professor in his field and has no problem going back to something and explaining it in different ways for those who are having trouble. Stats is not everyone's favorite subject in psych, but it's important and he helps everyone get through it.

Definitely my worst professor this semester. Rarely reminds you when you have something due and doesn't speak up in class. He teaches briefly about mental illnesses but doesn't show any signs of empathy when his own students struggle with one. Such a hard grader, expects you to know every detail in the book or everything he says in class.

Lectures are super boring. Slides are black and white. Definitely get the book, even if he says not too. Grading criteria is never clear. Try not to miss class because you will fall behind.
