Reviews of professor Alicia Aarnio

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Aarnio is amazing! She really cares about the subject and about her students. While this class was very difficult for me, she was great at offering help and she really wants you to succeed. She made my first semester amazing and was always there to offer extra credit and help. Once again, this is a HARD class, but she makes it tolerable.

She's very flexible with the amount of work and due dates, giving you ample amount of time to do them. Lectures were a bit drawn out and her hair was really cool. Would definitely take again for the credit because it wasn't that bad but some of the test were a little difficult.

Such a fun professor. I wouldn't consider myself good at math/physics but it was generally easy to understand thru her teachings. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does do clicker questions which "count as your attendance for the day". Made physics fun and relatable with lots of fun facts in between.

Dr. Aarnio is fantastic in every category. As someone who is a physics major I have generally always had an interest in astronomy and her course only strengthened that interest. She is very kind, accommodating, knowledgeable, and tosses in references to aspects of nerd culture/gaming/etc. Overall, very approachable and patient.

She is a very great professor and keeps her lectures interesting. I found her class a bit challenging until I put more effort in the course and communicated with her on what I needed assistance with. She always responds in a timely manner and tries to help out her students. She is very nice and has a sense of humor!

Prof. Aarnio is one of the best profs. at UNCG. Her lecures are amazing, and like other mentioned, will ocasionally make references to nerd/pop culture when teaching. Even if your're not a science major, this class should be an easy A as long as you pay attention and ask questions. Her test were all open book/open notes without time limits.

Dr. Aarnio is amazingly helpful and accommodating. She understands that a class like this is difficult in a digital setting and she is amazing at explaining the topics and ideas that she presents. She will make sure that you have an opportunity to finish any late assignments if there you can communicate that you had trouble getting them done.
