Very fun and smart. Also helps with reading assignments. makes things interesting to understand. cute, too.

Not a bad professor, and he is really easy. He helps you out. If you want to learn a lot then he is the wrong teacher, but the class is an easy A.

awesome guy. very helpful and always willing to go the extra mile for you. take this class!!

good teacher but isn't very clear on the points he tries to make

Awesome guy. This is the first professor I can say that I like going to EVERY class there is. This man makes learning fun and easy. Tests are self explanatory, and as long as you put in your half you will do fine. Very helpfull too.

He's very funny, and he keeps you interested in what he has to talk about. He also gets to know you by name, but it's fun.

Excellent history guide! Lets you know what you need to know for tests and fills in the in-betweens with interesting trivia. Do the reading and the tests will take themselves. Funny, too.

Amazing class. Easy and he works with his students to be sure they understand and pass the class. Funny guy who works around the students. The midterm/final are a breeze. Just pay attention, do the readings and you'll be fine. I got an A :D good class.

He is a great teacher and great guy. He works hard to help us understand the material.

Great Prof!! Very Helpful! he knows everyone, and gets involved with his students!

good prof and keeps you interested

arnold is an awesome professor.. i definately recommend u take his class the next chance u have. hes so helpful and is willing to help u pick up your grade in everyway possible.. also he has a great sense of humor..

Hes a really nice Professor. However, if you are actually trying to learn a lot about history I would choose another Professor. His class is an easy "A"

great guy great teacher little late on handing stuff back , knows his stuff , makes class fun, if you work hard you will get atleast a b

Great guy, but always late handing things back to students. Class is fairly fun!

Good teacher and really nice guy. Also advisor to history club. You rock Dr. Arnold!

Oi! What a prof! We study personalities in History because they are human and they loved! If you like coal mining and railroads you will love this this little guy.

awesome class

I agree with the comments below. He is nice and fun but you have to read and rewrite a lot. He needs to be clearer on assignments. But if you have to take history take him. You learn a lot and it's actually fun to go to class.

Great class. Read assignments beforehand. Lecture is like an advanced storytelling: puts things into perspective, makes history interesting. He is very helpful and willing to work with you one on one if you have any problems. Great sense of humor.

yeah, we had to rewrite our papers, but that was cool. instead of handing in a paper and getting a grade for it, you had this magical opportunity to rework it and get a better grade.

Very usual teaching methods that may make you feel a little uncomfortable right away, but you eventually get to appreaciate it. Extremely helpful. Goes out of his way to try to make class more interesting. A little demanding, but he is a great teacher.

He is very helpful. Be sure to talk to him and if you have any questions be sure to ask him and BlackBoard is key to your grade. He is very approachable!! If you read the materials assigned, I am sure you will do fine!

He is a great teacher, Very outgoing and has a unique view of US history. A great teacher to have for non major students

Great guy. I like his interesting way of provoking an intense discussion. Unfortunately, most students don't bite. If you want to intellectually spar with a contender, Arnold's your man!

he is one sexy beast.

He's an awesome professor. He gives you points just for meeting with him after class, even if you don't need anything. He is one of the best professors here at Kutztown!!!

He's one of those teachers that somehow makes learning fun. Any person who gives this guy a bad report is obviously a**** sandwhich.

Awesome teacher. He will help you in anyway he can whether it is a reading assignment or if it is your research paper. He is one of those professors who loves to see his students learn and succeed in his classes. Great professor and I recommend that you take him for History of pennsylvania.

His dry sense of humor makes the class worth going to. He doesnt ask too much of you, just come to class prepared and everything will take care of itself. Take him for History of PA.

Cool guy can be a little dull but frequently interesting. almost never went but still got a b common sense history.

The greatest professor ever! He is such a nice guy and i actually enjoy going to his class even though i hate history. Plus he is hot!

Arnold is one professor who cares about his students learning and understanding what he is teaching you. He is very helpful and makes you laugh during class. History is my weakest subject and I got through his class with a B. He makes it easy for u to go to him for extra help if need be. If you want to really learn something take him!

Dr. Arnold is a very nice guy. However, his Constitutional History class is very hard. If you like to read alot, definately sign up for this class. Otherwise, drop it immediately.

Professor Arnold is awesome. His class is not easy and very time consuming with outside work/studying but it is well worth it . He thrives on class interaction and loves to be asked questions. He is extremely helpful and it will benefit you a lot if you go to him outside of class for help. He makes you think but he grades fairly!

I really enjoyed his class. He was a great professor...a little hard when it comes to grading and he really pushes you to do your best on the paper but he will help you with whatever you need. He makes class fun and interesting and I really believe he loves to teach and he cares about his students and their success.

Hes a nice guy but not that great of a prof.his power points have 1 word on them and he doesnt explain them the only reason he gives study guides is because he has to.I definately should have had an A in that class and he only gave me a B.he grades how ever he feels like it&likes to embarass people who didnt do the reading which he doesnt announce

He was a nice prof, but challenging at times. We had a research paper which wasn't bad, but there was a lot of reading. But the class was interesting.

Dr. Arnold is a very nice guy. He will definitely help you if you need it. Participate on Blackboard, it helps! The class itself is not bad but you need to do a little thinking and participate in this class in order to do well. Also, stay on top of the readings. When I had him, he would randomly quiz and ask questions about the readings (and book).

he is funny and interesting. the class is a little challenging, but not too bad. there was a short paper and few quizzes and tests. nothing a little text book review couldn't help.

andy arnold is an awesome teacher, he gives alot of reading so you def need the text but he guidelines everything in the study guide and will help you with anything. he even lets you make up points for big exams. hes so helpful.

Dr. Arnold is seriously one of the best proffs that I have had since coming to KU. He's quircky and funny and as long as you do the work he's a breaze to take. However, if you don't do the work and entirely slack off you will get bit in the butt. I reconmend him with open arms.

My hats off to professor Arnold. I despise History, but Arnold made it sound more interesting with such enthusiasm. You just need to know basic information of what happened during these times....nothing else!! No dates or annoying crap like that. Tests are not too bad.

great prof, funny guy and actually makes the class fun. take his class's he actually made me interested in history.

Dr. Arnold is challenging, but he is so worth it. I am not a history major, but I LOVED his class. He really pushes you to reach your full potential...and hey, he doesn't make you buy a textbook, saving you bucks! Great resource, and approachable guy. Love him!

Awesome guy and teacher. A lot of work, but if you do it and come to class, you will enjoy the class and get a good grade.

Tons of work, but if you put in the time you can't not get a good grade. i'm not a history major but his class was also pretty interesting each day. if you're willing to spend a decent amount of time on his class its definitely worth taking

Very good teacher. I learned more from his classes than any other. Helpful outside of class, and will explain anything you don't understand. He wants you to get a good grade, and if you put forth the effort you will.

He's a good professor. Some people hate him, I liked him. As long as you do your readings, IDs and write them well like 2 paragraphs long ones, Multiple Choice tests on B-board, Essays, and study and are prepared for class and you your Research Digs then your okay. Just do your work assigned and you'll be fine. He's a funny guy, take him!

Although I was not a fan of his high and mighty attitude, he was extremely fair and easy. If you go to class and do the tremendous amount of homework you will be fine. He gives you the choice of what grade you want and i did not want to do the extra stuff and wanted a C.... I got a C. All the answers to his tests are online.

Messed up grading system. Hard to get used to at first, but you ultimately pick your own grade in this class. If you are willing to do massive amounts of work, you will succeed. Must memorize over 300 multiple choice answers for final although 25 are on it, in addition to about 20 essays when only one is on the exam. Tough grader, decent guy.

Dr. Arnold is hard, and he knows it. He tells you how to get an A from the start, and you need to work hard for it. I got a B, and I wouldn't have even gotten that far if it wasn't for him. I was going through a rough time last year with a loss in my life, and he was very helpful and kept me at that B-level. Thank you, Dr. Arnold.

Great grading system! you know exactly what you have to do to get the grade tou want

i'm glaaad i took him. at first everyone told me to not take him but in the end i looooved this class. i was scared for no reason. he tells you answers to tests beforehand so take your notes, study and do all assignments and show up to class and an easy A will be given to you (:

Very wacky grading system where the tests mean virtually nothing because you either pass or fail. His grade is based on completion of 4 assignments and the class is very difficult. Unless you like history I suggest you don't take the class.

Easiest professor at KU. Don't listen to the comments that say he his a hard professor. All you have to do is read two books, JStor articles, and you will get an A no problem. There are 14 assignments and if you do 10, you will get an A. His grading system is pass/fail, but he is very lenient when it comes to grading.

Awesome teacher! Has an amazing passion for history and really knows how to explain and analyize. Very helpfull and understanding

He is a good teacher. Very enthusiastic about history. Only thing is that there a lot of reading. Textbook not required for class. All tests are written.

Arnold is an awesome professor... His humor is corny at first, but this man seriously loves his job and his students. He is extremely straight forward, and always responds to emails quickly. His grading system is different- pass or fail, I enjoyed this because I love history. Great professor!

Awesome Prof! The Best One I have ever had. More than willing to help you! Very clear in what he wants out of you, you could get 100% in his class by extra credit only. Absolutely recommend him! HE IS THE BEST!!! I got 100% in his class no problem. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!!!!

great person/professor, geeky guy but really funny with a good sense of humor, super helpful and gives a lot of insightful knowledge on history. Gonna have to work and do lots of work to get your grade but you'll learn a lot. Counts grades of D2L, class participation. Take him, good prof, good class!

Such a good person. Always willing to help you with anything in class or out of class. All you have to do is complete the assignments and show him you are trying and care about your grade and you will pass. He tells you the exact questions that are on the tests. He always makes what you need to know very clear. TAKE HIM!!

Horrible grading system. However, he really gets to know everybody in the class. Truly loves being a professor and it shows. He really takes time to help if issues do arise.

He absolutely loves his job and students. There isn't a textbook, he assigns reading for every class that you have to write a paper. Most learning is done outside of class and then gone over inside. He's extremely straight forward, and if you talk to him he'll give you extra credit. If you're interested in history and don't mind working take him!

Very nice guy. Didn't care for his class though, for a general education class it's a little ridiculous, you have to read and write alot of essays. An A is possible, and he will help you, it's just alot of work to get there. If you love history, this is your class, if you don't care for history, find another professor.

Dr. Arnold is very kind but the way he teaches takes time to get used to. If you read what he gives you (which gets annoying) and write the papers he assigns, then you will walk out with an A and you will certainly learn the material. When you do the writings even though it can be hard, you will actually understand the information.

I took Arnold for 2 semesters and grew to love him. He assigns 12 page readings, then you have to write essays on what you read. It gets a little overwhelming sometimes but as long as you do the essays you will pass. He is more than willing to help you and allows retests. Will call you out in class so be ready!

Dr. Arnold is by far the best professor I've ever had. If you want an A in that class, do the work and you will get it.

He wears red socks every day. He will play catch with you in class if you're feeling sleepy. He's just a great dude and you will leave his class knowing everything he taught and not even know how you learned it. He's good like that.

Super nice guy and probably the most understanding prof out there!! He will lets you redo papers to improve your grade and you get the ability to skip the final if you get good enough grades. Amazing guy!!

Dr. Arnold is the most eccentric professor I've ever had, but in a good way. He likes to really focus on things from a philosophical perspective and consider the impact of people that wouldn't traditionally be focused on. His grading system is weird and makes it tough to get an A, but it motivated me to work harder.

I absolutely loved this professor. He makes jokes in class to keep things moving. Attendance is not mandatory but honestly go to class and you will be just fine. He gave a reading and a short response for homework every night but those answers combine to make your essay and exam every unit. I plan on taking at least 2 more classes with him! 10/10

Dr. Arnold is a absolute genius when it comes to history. He really makes it easy for students to connect to the readings and lectures. He gives out readings then makes you complete usually a two page paper for homework but it isn't terrible. If you show up, pay attention, and do the work you are guaranteed a good grade and you will learn a lot.

Dr. Arnold was able to make me officially switch my major to history. His easygoing, outgoing, and extremely understanding. Give a good faith effort and youll be fine. You literally can do the bare minimum and youll get an A. Dr. Arnold really makes learning history enjoyable.

I was bad this semester and never went to class and he emailed me and asked what grade I needed and how we could get me that grade, he let me submit all of my assignments at the end of the semester and I passed his class. Very easy if you just do the weekly homework. Very understanding! He clearly loves his job and cares for his students.

Professor Arnold is one of the BEST professors I have ever had. He is caring and wants you to succeed. He grades based on completion/effort and was more than understanding this year about personal circumstances. He even offers you his personal cell phone number to be reached at any time. This man deserves a raise. I cannot say enough positives.

This prof is one of my favorites so far. He does give hw assignments each class but there were no quizzes or exams, he was lenient with due dates as long as you submitted them in a timely manner, and he really valued his students. He tried to keep everyone engaged and you could tell he loved what he was teaching about. Take him if you can

His lectures can be very boring but besides that he is an amazing professor! He believes that as long as you show a good faith effort and you can prove that you care and want to succeed you deserve to pass. He is very forgiving with due dates, and gives his personal cell which is very useful! 10/10 amazing guy

Professor Arnold is a very interesting lecturer and will always keep you awake since his thoughts are always random. He gives his contact number to all his students if you ever need help or he doesn't respond to his email. He posts homework on the first day of the week and it will be due on Friday but he is very lax with submissions.

Dr. Arnold is super caring, funny, and helpful to his students. Doesn't overkill on homework, and gives you retests for your first two midterms. I can't wait to take another class with him next semester!

He was so good and friendly professor. At first I had trouble with doing assignments but later on after discussing with him it was easy. It just takes a little time to do the assignments. Overall he was so supportive and one of my favourite professors at KU.

Love this guy, wants to try and help students and is very understanding about extensions. Class you just have to take notes and do reading and you will pass the exams.

He very obviously cares about his students and what he teaches. He's very forgiving and understanding and will work with you so long as you reach out to him and are willing to do your part. The class can be challenging sometimes but so long as you do your best and put forth effort you will do well. Have taken his classes before and will do so again

One of the best professors i have had, he is understanding if you just talk to him and be honest. Very funny and i look forward to having another class with him.

Professor Arnold is a caring and engaging lecturer. The class has minimal homework, and he's flexible with deadlines. For study prep, I found Unstuck study and the free textbook really helpful.

He is awesome, I recommend him, if you are taking CMP 201. Although his grading is a messy, you won't really know until after the semester. No actual final, but the work is heavy both in class and outside. He makes jokes and will volunteer you for participation.

Wants students to do their best regardless of grades

The single most kind and understanding professor I've ever had. Once, he made a mix up of the exam and accidently regraded a previous one with the newer ones questions. Instead of being mad at us, he was so worried about teaching us wrong. Gave out mints everyday and also never wore shoes?? for some reason?? But whatever, still the best prof ever.

Super nice guy, very understanding, not a very intensive class, sometimes exam questions feel a little abstract but as long as you show up and pay a little attention its not bad.

Super nice guy, very understanding, not a very intensive or work heavy class, show up and pay some attention from time to time and its pretty easy.

Great professor. For someone who doesn't like history, this class was very fun and interesting. He is generous with homework load and answers any questions asked. Gives great feedback on exams; really cares to push you to improve, not so focused on us understanding all the material. Lectures were funny and he always appreciated us attending class.

Andrew Arnold... what can I say about him? Man is the kindest, most understanding man I've ever met. When my dad was in the hospital, he had me make up no work and let me turn in my final half done and I still got an a. Genuinely a great guy who cares about his students as people, not just students

I recommend this course to anyone seeking a composition course. Definitely the best comp course I have taken so far. Dr. Arnold is the best! He cares about how you're doing in the course and how YOU are doing. In this class, we designed an independent study (of your interests!), that can be used later. Fun course, great professor. Take this class!
