Knows what he's talking about. Really enjoyed research methods course with him.

Great teacher, available for meeting with students, very intelligent in his field, easy to listen to, I highly recommend his classes!

i would recommend this teacher. he is great, although talks a lot and drags the subject on, his test are VERY easy there is nothing on them that is not covered either in class or the book.

Real easy, don't have to show up. Shows a lot of movies. Real laid back. Read the book and you're fine. Notes cover book.

EASY CLASS

the class is tough but if you attend, take notes and study its all good. professor is okay.

No Comments

As long as you go to his class and take notes, it's really easy, not to mention interesting. His tests mainly consist of his lectures.

DO NOT miss class, not even once. I went to this class **** a few times, but still took notes. As long as you have the notes, you'll do okay. Gives good reviews, nice guy, has 80's cop haircut. Overall, good teacher.

He's a cool teacher. The way he talks is weird, but you'll learn to adjust to it.

Very easy class, just get the notes and skim the chapters and you'll be fine

Class material is horrible, but Arneklev is a good guy. He does his best to help everyone in the class, and most get outta there with a B or better. Required class for CJ majors, and I wouldnt trust anyone else as my teacher for this boring class.

Good professor. Talks a little fast. Never read the book just studied the notes and get A's. Gives extra credit on test and adds pts to curve the grade. Good guy. Easy A

Very easy! Don't miss a day of class, test are based on lectures, don't need to by a book, you will get nothing lower than a B

great teacher. goes over everything that's on the test. book is good for highlighting instead of writing everything because he goes over a lot of material. interesting movies. strongly recommend

THIS IS THE BEST TEACHER IN FAU PERIOD! Everything he says in class and on the notes is on the test. No tricks or anything. Just take notes. Don't miss a day of class. Great class. Must take this class.

GREAT TEACHER, BUT WORD TO THE WISE,* PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS OR RECORD LECTURES*. HE GOES SUPER FAST. GIVES MID-TERM AND FINAL ONLY, NO PAPER DURING *SUMMER*,GIVES GREAT CURVES ON EXAMS. JUST GO TO CLASS AND TAKE NOTES, YOU SHOULD PASS W/ NO LESS THAN A "B"

In reference to the rating about not taking this class because he is a **** is utterly ridiculous. I am black & I took his class in the Summer and made an A. It is all about applying yourself. As I mention in my rating on 8/04/06 This is a hard class & the only way to pass is to either tape the lectures or write good notes, but mostly study!!

i like his class

hes a good teacher. you must go to class and take good notes. all of his tests are straight from the lectures and he always gives extra credit on the tests

This is a great class to take. Always go to class, and take good notes. You're guaranteed at least a B if you do this. He made the class interesting, which was also very helpful. Good luck!

this class is really good and interesting. prof. is really good and straight forward. if you go to class and take the notes, you will do just fine. :)

Very good teacher. interesting discussions n videos! not difficult if attend n take good notes...exams not hard

Easy class...if you take notes study them well you'll do well on the tests...they come straight from the notes...

In tie for the best professor I've had

so easy! Gives handouts and shows power point outlines during class. Tests exactly from lectures. I got an A in the class and didn't open the book once! Shows movies very often.

If u take good notes its an easy class. he basicaly spoon feeds you the exam. This is a pllus because it's the most feared class in ccj.

One of few teachers whose lectures are EXACTLY what you will see on the test. Take notes and dont skip class unless you have a friend willing to do that for you. I didnt read the book once. Good teacher to take whether you want to learn or just get an A. Any one who does bad in his class, skipped or took poor notes.

Great class, recommend to all freshman, or 2nd year students. Easy A, interesting notes, movies, just attend class take notes, exams are clear reflection of notes. Interesting teacher, curves tests, and gives x-tra credit on exams. Can't lose by taking this class!

Great class! professor is very to the point and clear with his notes..all you really need to do is take notes look over them and the tests would be easy..you don't open the textbook at all. we watch interesting movies and he gives a lot of extra credit and a good 5-10 pt curve on EVERY test. Class is interesting and easy. just show up and take note

This class is not that bad i just cannot stand the way Arneklev organizes himself with his 3 sets of notes including an outline/handout, notes written on the board, and notes on the projector. Tests are hard, attendence is not mandatory, thank god. Class is boring.

He?s a good teacher, tries to be interesting but since he has several classes he may repeat points. Curves all test but they are pretty easy W/ extra credit points at the end. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK and come to all classes, the notes are all you need.

Great professor!!! Took him for Methods of Research over the summer. Intense class but with his notes and clarity of the material to cover for the exam very pleasant. No surprises just study notes! He is willing to help when needed. His curves and his extra questions on the exam really make you feel like he cares about students.

Easy A but class can get boring at times. Attendance is not mandatory but i suggest it because his notes are not posted on blackboard. He doesn't use the textbook but it is good reference. 3 exams and a final which is not cumulative, EC questions && curves on tests.

This was truly the only college course i have enjoyed! I loved it! if you just study the notes a little you will get an A because the test questions come straight from the notes. he makes class interesting by telling personal stories that are related to what we are learning. i highly recomend him!!!

Impressive because he really knows the subject matter, but at the same time makes it harder than it really is. You really have to go to class and pay attention. Only midterm and final with one extra credit.

Methods. Like he tells you in the beginning..."Don't freak out" Stick with it. Go to EVERY class. He will drill it into your head. It all comes together like a puzzle. He's passionate with the topic. DO the Extra Credit. Review your notes and LISTEN to everything he says. He goes over everything several times to clerify things.

Just go to class, try ur best , study his notes well, and u should pass with a good grade .

Law,crime, Cj system is a good class. He gives you all the stuff you need to know but you can't miss class or doze off during class or you will not do well

Go to EVERY class. He will drill it into your head. It all comes together like a puzzle. He's super passionate . DO the Extra Credit, i would have failed without it. Review your notes and LISTEN to everything he says. He goes over everything several times to clerify things. Very friendly and helpful. nice guy.

Great professor! Personable, tells a bunch of stories to keep your attention and that relates to the topics at hand. Don't really need the textbook at all unless you want to look up a couple of things that didn't make sense during the lecture or some vocab you're unsure of. Other than that, he mainly provides you with handouts to write notes on.

This teacher is awesome. He is very passionate about what heis teaching. he makes criminal justice interesting and fun to learn about. he makes jokes and we watched a movies. just study for tests if ou even think you need to and you will be ok. i would definetely take other clsses with him

Dr. Arneklev is one of the best professors I've had so far. He is so passionate about the material. He makes class interesting and fun. There are several movies you watch in class as well. He advises you about the exams way ahead of time and stars things in the notes to make sure you study. Helpful beyond belief, he is very vey good. Take this clas

Methods of Research is one of the hardest classes in the CCJ major but Arneklev is the best professor to take it with. Class is boring and he doesn't take attendance, if you don't go you won't pass. Grade is based on mid term and final but he offers an extra credit project. Don't buy the book, just go to class & write down EVERYTHING & study hard.

ARNEKLEV IS HILLARIOUS! HE TRIES SO HARD TO BE FUNNY BUT ITS MOSTLY UNSUCCESSFUL. HES REALLY EASY JUST GO TO CLASS AND TAKE NOTES NEVER USED THE TEXTBOOK ONCE DONT EVEN BUY IT TESTS ARE DIRECT FROM LECTURE!EXTRA CREDIT QUESTIONS ON EVERY EXAM NOT TO MENTION CURVES OUT THE A**.HE TALKS SO FAST SO PREPARE FOR WRITERS CRAMPS BUT ITS WORTH THE EASY A!!

Awesome teacher. Homework is to mainly study the notes you take in class. Attendance is mandatory if you want to succeed in this class because every test is based on his lectures. He provides curves. No surprise quizzes. Interesting lectures! I love him and his class! Textbook is used but he uses it. It's a good book to keep for future reference.

This class is very easy IF YOU GO TO CLASS AND LISTEN TO HIS LECTURES!! I decided I was too cool to go to his class and I ended up failing almost every exam even after studying the chapters on my own. I received an F but I know if I would have gone to class I would have had an A. GO TO CLASS!!

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. As long as you attend his class and follow the material he is covering, you will pass the class! He doesn't sugar coat any of the material, but he doesn't just give you the answers to the exams either. Show up, take good notes, you pass. Plain and simple.

I absolutely loved him!! He gave great notes, extremely passionate and has an extensive background in the criminal justice field. I would recommend taking this course and him as a professor. I will definitely be taking other courses he teaches!

I loved him! He's such a nice guy. He gives you a daily handout with a basic structure of the notes for that day, but make sure you do attend class and take notes on his lectures. He moves kinda fast, but if you pay attention you will learn the material.

Research Methods is extremely difficult to understand without reviewing the notes everyday, night and day!!! He goes extremely fast the exams are fair only if you study everything!! you will fail if you don't attend class, attendance mandatory!! very few people pass the course, but I was one of the lucky ones. Best to take the class in the Summer.

He is basically the man. Gives you a handout everyday with the outline of the topics for the day. You just have to fill in the blanks. Tells you exactly what to study for the exams, and puts everything into easy terms. You can tell he really enjoys what he does!

Hes actually really good teacher. His test are a little hard. They are mostly based off scenarios to make sure you understand what your learning. He does curve each test by 8-12% Based on the class grades. You MUST attend class. Learn the review, and understand each topic. His test are like For example A)Car B) Dog C) Cat D)both a & b E) all/none

Dr. Arneklev is one of the best professors FAU's CCJ department has to offer. He does talk fast but will explain everything. He is more than willing to help his students. He really knows his stuff! I never once used the text book and got A's. Go to class and study your notes! If you are a serious student you will love his teaching abilities. TAKE!!

Awesome Professor, easiest class, so long as you show up and take notes! No classwork or homework, a few exams that are straight forward and that's it! Study your notes and you'll do fine. Answers are always said aloud or in the notes, so just write it down.

Great professor. Class is really easy as long as you go and take notes. Tells you what to study for the exams and he curves all of the exams. It's hard to fail as long as you study.

Dr. Arneklev is great! I was very nervous for Methods of Research, but it actually wasn't too difficult and I wouldn't have been able to pass without this professor. I love his style of teaching, and his exams are very fair. Meaning, you have to know and understand the material, but it's not impossible. He also offers an extra credit assignment.

This was my favorite class of the semester. He is a really nice guy. His lecture is very organized, making it easy to take notes and follow the course. Go to class if you want to do well on the exams. Duh! Grade is based on 4 exams. Always there to answer questions. One of my favorite professors ever!

BEST PROFESSOR! He makes the class so interesting and shows the best videos. The test aren't too bad if you attend class and take the notes. He provides a handout of the outline of the notes online and in class. I'm definitely taking another class with this professor!

I took this class in summer13, which was a 6 week course. I walked in intimidated with the course name itself, but honestly it's a difficult course if you do not study the material daily, and ask questions. Prof Arneklev is a great teacher he loves what he does and is willing to answer questions. I must warn you he does teach fast but you can do it

He is an awesome professor. I had him at 8am and was ezcited to go to his class. He had so much energy that i fed off of it. For law, crime, and crim., i had learned alot. If you go to class and take notes on everything he says, you will get an A. Study for the tests and you will get an A. Don't try to study the night before cause it won't work.

Dr. Arneklev is an expert in the subject, and although he might deliver his lectures at a million words per second, he's been teaching this course for a long time and has perfected the notes he gives to students, which are everything needed to pass the exams. Its tough, but he is the best professor to take this course with. Not impossible!

The subject itself is very boring and confusing, but he goes over and over the same material until everyone gets it. There are only 2 tests in this class, as long as you go to class and take notes, you'll pass. His tests come directly from the notes (no need to buy the book).

Listen, this is college and Methods is a tough course, but Dr. A. makes it as easy as possible. Don't go in if you don't plan on doing your share. Its a very do able course and he makes everything as clear as day. I would take him again. Attendance isn't stress, but why would missed a day in this course?! A day is a lot in Methods.

Dr. A is an amazing, & helpful professor. The class is TOUGH. You have to meet him halfway. He gives A LOT of extra credit, but you still need to STUDY. Do as he says: binder, take LOTS OF NOTES, re-do your notes, MEMORIZE your notes. You might feel completely lost, but once you starts studying everything comes together.

Methods class is tough. He breaks it down to make it easier but he over explains things & talks A LOT so it actually might confuse you even more. You might have to skip through some of the lecture to avoid hearing him explain pointless things when he's trying to get to the point. He means well but it's just excessive to the point of annoyance.

First of ALL, you need to keep in mind that this is a VERY HARD Course.. so do not expect an easy walk in the park. you have to study, read the notes from all his units and you will be fine. Dr. Arneklev was a very professional and always willing to explain students out. 1 MID &1Final and that's it no HW, No essay, NO Blogs etc. only 2 test.

This teacher may talk super fast, have crazy confusing notes, not give many tests, but, he really does care about his students and their success. If you show him that are are trying he will help you out immensely. Keep up good communication with him.

I was told by my advisor that this would be the toughest undergraduate class I would take. I was prepared to work & there was a LOT of studying. However, Dr. A was very clear about the work load for this class and was very helpful if needed. I would recommend this class as an online one because you can go back and review lectures as needed.

YOU WOULD BE A FOOL NOT TO TAKE HIM FOR METHODS!!!He gives Power points, forget the PP, he makes videos!!!! He is THE BEST!!! TEST ARE EXTREMELY EASY!! Yes, HIS TEST!!! He has an online video session so that students can ask questions before taking the exams! I took him this summer, if I wasn't taken other classes, I would I have gotten an A easily

So many were critical of Dr. A, but he is so helpful and caring. Yes the class was hard, but then again we are in graduate school. I did just fine in the class, and am proud to say that earned, was not handed a good grade.

I took Dr. Arneklev for Methods of Research, full online class. This being a Stats class, I knew it was not going to be easy online. 2 tests, one midterm one final. few quizzes. But most of your grade is from the tests. He curved both tests 12 points in my class. It was not an easy A class. I worked very hard. Flash cards really helped.

If you're interested in taking methods online then TAKE Dr. Arneklev. I scored a 96 on the first exam and a 94 on the second. He gives you all the material you need to pass with his notes. You need to read and watch all of lectures. He will ask you questions on everything you have learned. He is the best teacher for methods!

HARD CLASS. Lectures are long and very specific. You won't pass if you don't listen to every lecture, take notes, and study. You can tell he cares for his students though, he is very understanding and patient. Quickly responds to emails and is very personable. If you are willing to put in the work, you won't be disappointed.

Dr. Arneklev was not as bad as people say. To pass the class, you DO have to listen to his lectures, ALL of them. He explains the material very well, and puts a star on important information that might be on the exams, which are curved. It's a lot of material to cover, especially in a short summer course, but overall he's a good professor.

The class itself is pretty hard, lots of material and stuff to memorize. However, you can tell that it's in the proffesors best interest for you to pass the class so he'll try to help with the grades. There's weekly quizzes (these are worth only like 5% of final grade), a midterm and final. You just have to keep up with the class and materials.

It is in the professor's best interest for students to pass his class. He sends weekly reminders to please submit weekly quizzes and very understanding. The class overall is hard, but his lectures and notes are on point!

This course is not tough, but VERYYY time consuming. I do not recommend to take unless you have free time as lectures are nearly 1-4 hours weekly, although separated. Professor is very generous with grades as he understand the course is difficult and we're all struggling.

This subject is hard itself. There is two exams which is the midterm and final. I did take this class in the summer (6 weeks) so you had to make sure to be on top of all the quizzes and watch his lectures. He is very considerate when it comes to his grading he gives curves and extra credit. Hes caring and willing to help you pass!

Professor is very thorough and detailed. You will need a big binder and printer. You will print out the assignment and follow along to a prerecorded lecture. DO NOT take this course if you cannot be organized and dedicate time to study. Professor does a great job preparing for exams but the courseload is a lot. STUDY for the exams

I don't know if i just got lucky but I bombed the first test and buckled down hard for the second test. STUDY THE NOTES YOU TAKE FOR THE COURSE AND THE NOTES THE PROFESSOR GIVES!!!! get 100% on all the quizzes there is no reason to get less than 100% doing the quizzes helped retain the information. GREAT CLASS.
