Reviews of professor Michael Arce

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This is a class you don't want to miss. Prof. Arce really knows how to get the entire class to want to participate in discussions. His presentations feature relevant examples of sociological concepts. For homework, there are weekly readings, short answer assignments, and a multiple-choice quiz. These assignments aren't time-consuming.

I have had Michael for stats and for family psych/soc. He is an amazing professor! You will learn a ton and laugh along the way. His family psych/soc class was the most interesting and enjoyable class I have ever taken.

This class was a complete joke, he was unprepared for every lecture. I think I have never learned less in a class, will assign papers to write and then grade like you're doing your masters in literature. The tests in no way line up to the lecture content and he doesn't even post the slides. The least effort I have ever seen from a teacher.

I also had him for PSYC/SOC145. Michael is one of my favorite teachers I've had at MCC, be sure to expect inside jokes for the class and lots of funny stories. He's very passionate about what he teaches and is very inclusive and accommodating to everyone in the classroom. He will open your eyes to trends and problems going on in the world.

Professor Arce is funny and the classes are very light, he gets the information across in such a way that makes it very easy to remember.

Prof. Arce is a great teacher. He's open to discussions and always willing to help students. He's very easy going and gets his points across when teaching. I wish he teaches other SOC courses in the near future.

Arce is up for any opinions and loves when people participate in class. He doesn't usually give feedback on writing responses but will answer questions about your grade. Sometimes it was hard to understand what he wanted for assignments but he'll clarify if you ask. He is casual and easy-going but does expect that you put effort into your work.

I took this course from Professor Arce a couple times as I failed the first time, which was my fault entirely. When I took it again, and I communicated that I struggled with the course and with other matters, he was very understanding. Lectures were always easy to follow along, and he had a good sense of humor! Would definitely recommend to others.
