Reviews of professor Arlo Osler

Having me pay for proctored exams for an online course seems ridiculous only class to have done this in over 2 years.

I got covid the day before class started. It took him 2 full weeks to respond to one of my 3 emails asking about what I need to do to catch up. When I finally returned, he didnt tell me about 1/2 of the online homework websites, causing me to miss countless assignments. Also assigns 2 PRINTED OR WRITTEN labs / week. this guy stinks.

I had more essays due in this class (8 essays, 2 page min each) than in my HC Writing class! There's a quiz every week plus either an essay or you're doing a lab and a worksheet, not to mention the lectures (outside of class) and reading. You can pass if you put in minimal effort. Arlo was cool and really relaxed, just requires a lot of work

He is a tough professor, even when trying and studying his exams are not correlated to his very short very quick lectures. Some of the equations needed are not on his printed equation sheets. IT WAS A VERY HARD CLASS! Don't do it!

I'm not sure how this guy got hired to be a professor. Gets really angry at the class for not understanding a topic... if the whole class doesn't understand a concept it might not be the students fault...

Do the homeworks and do the prelectures. Tests are more difficult versions of the homeworks and the group questions are often multiple problems in a single question. He is much more thorough in explaining problems if you go to recitation. He's chill and likes to talk about non physics stuff before class.

HORRIBLE!!! 4 exams have problems like nothing you have seen before. He picks majority of the problems for his tests that were NOT on the reviews or quizzes or in the majority of the homework. So do not spend too much time reviewing the problems that were done in class, look only at those that were not covered and you will OK.

Guy is extremely nice, and I want to be friends with him outside of class. However, as a physics teacher, it is BRUTAL and he is terrible. I have never felt less sure of myself in my life than I did during this entire class. Lectures are basically a waste of time. Tons of homework. Tests are MASSIVELY difficult and you'll recognize nothing. AVOID.

Arlo, I found, was a really good teacher when it came to explaining concepts. However, when it came to the other aspects of his teaching(grading, organization, test structures) I found him to be horrid. He grades lab reports as if you are going for a PhD. His exams were not aligned with homework or reviews. I would most likely avoid him if pre-med.
