He doesn't explain things clearly and expects you to know every single detail of the assigned readings. He likes to embarrass people when they don't know an answer. If you fail the midterm, you'll fail the class, so he tells you to drop the class.

Not easy. If you didn't get a good grade on midterm, don't drop a class, in final almost the same questions, so you can get a good grade. But if you can avoid him - do it.

He is one of the worse professors I've had. He acts like he will answer your questions but doesn’t. Instead he tries to make you feel stupid with his sarcastic remarks which I think is very disrespectful. Dont take his class.

I'm still trying to figure out where he got his credentials from, let alone why he is still a teacher, when he has a high rate of students who drop the class, or get F's. Very hard to pass his class. I had to retake the course, I'm doing A work and I'm actually learning something. Avoid him at all cost M,W,F 9am-2pm classes!!

Tries to make you look stupid. Cant ask him questions or he gives you a nasty answer. Very disrespectful, knows his stuff but a really strict teacher that probably never gave a student a grade higher than a B. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS, I BEG YOU

I am a very optimistic student and a professional brown-noser, butt kisser. Though all of my studying, engage conversations, and politeness did not help my outcome in the class. I got a whopping F. By the end of the semester, the class population drop to 25 percent. Those who droped the class must of read the reviews, unlike me. RUN.

I made a terrible mistake to take his class. He would never like to write any thing in the board except some chapter's titles. He used to make some unfunny jokes from us. Additionally, his review class would never relate to the midterm and final exams. I won't recommend him to any student who will or wants to take economics class

Stop complaining about Arroyo. He is tough, but no more tough than the real world out there. If you study and show ambition you will have an A, he just wants you to put efforts. He joked with me ,he wasn't the most helpfull professor in the world, but I got A. Do the work and you can have an A as well! It's for you, not for him.

Do not take this class. This is a heads UP! Professor is extremely sarcastic not just to me in particular but to anybody who has a question. It discourages you from even speaking to him. He makes you feel inferior to him. He'll show you how its done and if you dont get it hell treat you like the class dunce. One of the worst experiences i've had.

MY ADVICE IS DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS or you are only going to screw up your GPA.I studied hard for the midterm and final and throughout the entire course and I got a C-. When he shows up in class he doesnt really teach anything because he wants you to do your part as a student, but he doesnt does his as a professor.

I didn't learn anything and I also bought the book for no reason. Personally I think he doesn't teach, he expects you to know everything after one read. The tests are very hard and not related to anything that was taught. There's no review, you ask questions and hopefully you get a clear answer. he WILL make you look stupid.

-He has a bad habit of degrade students when they ask questions as if they are stupid. -Prior chapter reading is required for each class, as well as after each class. -His lectures poorly reflect the material on the exams and quizzes. -Majority of the class failed, except one. That lucky student pass only because she was retaking the class.

Im a student with a G.P.A of 3.9, and 52+ credits. Having come from classes such as English, Calculus, and Physics, instructed by professors that have a Doctorate degree; I have learned to work hard for an A grade. This professor failed the entire class, professor is arrogant, you musts learn on your own, he doesn't care if you are confused.

Do NOT take him. I got an A for his class by the grace of God. This professor won't prepare you for tests. He blames the students for not knowing the material. He gives random surprise quizzes that have a high percentage weight. and a test every week.
