She is such a sweet person. Lots of essays, one each week. but lets you re-do them. If she sees you slacking she will go talk to you. I absolutely enjoyed the class. She even helped me on deciding which major to take.
She is the best English teacher at John Jay College. She is very passionate and caring to me with disabilitiy. She wants allher students to suceed. She go out of her way to find brochures for her students to be able to get help paying their tution. She loves teaching english and thats why she is so excellent at what she does. Please promote her.
She is such a sweet person. She is calm and helpful. I learn from her essays because I was able to write make mistakes and correct them. She did not move on to too ,any different topics and getting her students lost on the way. By making our mistakes we were able to learn from them. All her students did well.
She is one of the best professors at John Jay. She elaborates everything so well. If you have any concerns, she is always ready to help you.
I took her class last spring in 2013, honestly it was a class that I found understanding. The class is easy to understand as long as you show up to class. He class does help you prepare for other higher level classes at JJAY. There are a few papers but she times her papers at the right time so you really do not feel overloaded with work.
I do not understand why anyone would write a negative comment for Professor Arnoldi. She is one of the best professors on campus,she genuinely cares for everyone in her class. Anyone who has anything negative to say, obviously never did any work. She gives you enough time for every piece of work presented to you, & she ACTUALLY EDUCATES. Take her.

To this day, she is one of my favorite professors. She is not only helpful and so clear in explaining what needs to be done, but also lets you re-do your essays if she knows you can do better. She praises your achievements and lets you know what you need to work on to better your writing. Take her, you will not regret it.
Definitely the best English professor I have taken at JJ. Unlike others she is very fair with grading and always keep you updated with how you're doing in class. As far as the work, just show up and follow her essay layouts (which are super easy). She is also willing to write a letter of recommendation which come in handy! (wrote one for me)
Professor Arnoldi is one of the best professors I have had at John Jay. She is so sweet and caring. She is also very fair. She gives a writing response assignment once a week on very short pieces of writing. The essays that she assigns are interesting and she gives a lot of time to complete them. She is encouraging and a pleasure to take. Love her!
Professor Arnoldi is THE BEST! I'm not good at English but she takes the time to help and my writing actually improved!! She is so passionate and can really relate to how hard being a student is and tries to assign papers when midterms and finals are happening. Of course, in order to pass you must attend class and do the work but TAKE HER!!!!!!
Professor Arnoldi is one of the kindest and most understanding professors I've ever had. She is kind and understanding all of the work is easy and understandable.
Amazing professor and great course. The professor does an amazing job teaching this course. She really makes the content interesting and the skills you learn are essential for future college courses. Just go to class and you will get a good grade.I recommend professor Arnoldi for any course.
AMAZING professor. If you are looking for an easy professor but a good one, then you should take Prof. Arnoldi. Don't take her for granted though, she might be very nice and all but she will fail you if you do not do the work.
Honestly one of the best Professors I have had in my college career. She motivated me to be the best I can be and to one day become a teacher. If you want a Professor who can teach you more then just the subject but a little bit about life as well then this is the professor for you.
By far the BEST professor I've ever had, especially in John Jay. She is so helpful, understanding, caring and sweet. She will help you with your papers (whether its for her class or another) and definitely help you improve as a writer. If you're horrible in ENG, TAKE HER! You won't regret it.
So I took Prof. Arnoldi 2014 Spring Semester & it was amazing. She is very clear and tries her hardest to help you pass. Highly recommend her. The best professor in john jay.
Professor Arnoldi is the best English professor I've ever had. She taught us a lot about APA formats and research techniques. She is a laid back teacher and I wish I have her for ENG 201.
Dr. Katherine Arnoldi is just the best.. please take her if you really want to learn and not just pass the class. she takes her time to explain materials and she will make you understand whatever you need to know. I give her a big applause for the change she made in my life.
This professor is extremely kind and actually reads everyone's papers and gives thorough feedback which is rare these days. A+ for her. If do your assignments and put in some effort you will do very well.
She is the best teacher ever, she values your opinions. She is one of the nicest teachers I have ever had. Her class is an easy A. She respects all who respect her. If you want a good gpa boost this is the class. Extra Crédit galore
Great, easy going, and understanding professor. She pushes you to do your work and gives great feed back on it so that you can improve!
Whoaaaa amazing. Come in do your work and you have got half the work done. It was an honor to be in her class.
Arnoldi is great! One of the most kind and helpful professors I know. The class is relatively easy, you would be a fool to fail. Put effort into the class, do your assignments (not that many) and of course go to class and involve seldomly, at least. Grading is a point system basically so higher the points, higher the grade.
I realized that English may not be an interesting class for many. However, she seeks to make the class more engaging by incorporating global issues into her lectures. Good attendance is a must. She is very sweet. You will receive a very overwhelming looking syllabus for the semester. Just bring your syllabus with you to class and do your work!
Time could be spent a bit better during class time. She assigns mostly papers and barely any tests, nothing intense. Her background is quite interesting, she shared it at the end of the semester and was very inspiring. Over-all an easy class.
For this class you will not need a textbook, maybe a few readings here and there, but other than that you'll be fine. Her whole class leads up to a 10 page research paper. She is really helpful and nice. She'll let you make up work until you have an A. She also has quite an inspirational backstory that she will share it with the class.
One of the BEST professors at John Jay, would definitely take again. Assignments aren't hard, a few essays, and a final research paper that is about 10 pages that can be done in class, and she helps through it.
Professor Arnoldi is extremely helpful and nice! She always gives feedback without making you feel bad. As long as you show up and do the work you will pass! She does not give any tests just short papers and at the end of the semester a research paper. Great Professor to go to if you are serious about improving your writing.
Professor Arnoldi is such a nice person I couldn't say enough good things about her. I really enjoyed the material and gained a lot of important knowledge from taking her class. She is laid back and encourages participation and class discussion. I would recommend her to anyone. She is a wonderful professor and person. L
By far one of the greatest professors at John Jay!She is very understanding and is always there for her students. She explains everything thoroughly and makes sure everyone understands her assignments. Take her!!
Take the scholarship application essay seriously. I thought that there is no way that I would win anything but I was completely wrong so far I have won 1,000 with Arnoldi's help. It has now been a year since that class and professor Arnoldi and I meet once a week because she is helping me apply for the prestigious fulbright scholarship. 3
Professor Arnoldi is amazing! She provides the best feedback and so many opportunities for us. She actually brought in a representative from the McNair Program and scholarship office to come in and talk to us about what they offered. She actually makes time to talk to you and listen to any concern you might have on the class Best Professor at JJay!
Simply the best English professor John Jay has! He really cares about each student and will work with you to improve your writing and strengthen your prose. You will leave her class knowing how to write a perfect research paper and scholarship essay. I am very grateful that I got the Upper Division Scholarship with her advices and suggestions.
She's such an amazing professor, definitely take her. you wont regret it
She announced in the beginning of the semester that she wouldn't give homework, but it seems I always have homework for this class. There are A LOT of papers. She isn't a tough grader at all, but you could be dying and she won't excuse your absence. She is far from understanding in that regard. Also, her syllabus is very disorganized and confusing.
If you want to win some scholarships Professor Arnoldi is the teacher for you. I recently won two scholarships with her help and her patience. If you are a hard worker student and you want win some cash take her class ASAP!!!
She is very helpful when possible. She is very caring and always finds a way to get you more involved in what you are doing. Don't feel as if she doesn't care, just approach her and you'll be fine.
Very Helpful. Gives clear and helpful advice on writing assignments. She returns writing assignments usually the next class day. She's real sweet and very accessible outside of class. No HW really. Final research paper, that is unique to you, so that makes it more interesting. Taking Her Again For 201.
Professor Arnoldi is a great teacher with a lot more hands on life experience. Extremely willing to right you a letter of recommendation as long as you put in the hard work. Really motivated me in my writing which helped land me an internship. Would absolutely take her again.
I took this class just for my gen ed requirement. But Professor. Arnoldi has a way of teaching that I really enjoy. She is not an easy grader and will push her students if she needs to, but helps you all along the way. I now am minoring in Eng, thanks to Arnoldi passion and dedication. I am not an A student, but after her course I wish to be!
Although her class is very paper writing heavy, she will let you resubmit papers for the best grade and is pretty understanding with deadlines. Additionally, she is one of the few professor that don't cause a fuss if you take you child to class as long as the class can still learn, really helpful for single mothers who are students.
She is so good! She really cares about the work and helping you become a better writer. She is flexible with deadlines and very well versed in literature. I would take her again.
Taking Professor Arnoldi class was an amazing experience. The class was fun, engaging, and felt more like a creative writing workshop rather than a class. Arnoldi's energy, creative prompts, and the short pieces we read throughout the semester gave the class an excellent foundation to start building their creative writing portfolio.
Professor Arnoldi is the nicest and most caring professor I've ever had. She genuinely cares about each student. The class was really interesting and engaging. The last writing assignment is a research paper on practically anything you want. She wants you to be interested in writing your topic.
Professor Arnoldi is a very passionate and inspiring professor. She motivates students to get creative with their writing and gives great feedback on your work. Because of this class, I actually decided to major in English because I had such a good experience. Thanks to the professor for being so great!
Prof. Arnoldi was very nice, understanding, and respectable. I liked her a lot because she was super responsive to emails too. Her assignments were easy and she was laid back, but you were still able to learn from her. My friends with other ENG101 professors always complained about theirs, but Prof. Arnoldi is the best. Take her
Dr. Arnoldi is a really nice professor. You should definitely try to participate in her class and get in your work on time. She can be pretty lenient however, it's best not to take advantage of that. She makes you go to 3 workshops for your final paper. Do not wait till the last moment to go! She is very helpful do fo to her office and speak to her
One of John Jay best and impact-full. Do all your work and your will be fine.
gives good feedback and really wants to see students succeed!
Best English professor you will have. She actually cares and wants you to pass, with a good grade. She gives you a lot of time to finish each assignment and helps you along the process if you ever get stuck. Will always remind you and encourage you to apply for scholarships!!
Professor Arnoldi is such an amazing person, with great inspiration. She's by far my favorite professor at John Jay! The class was not hard at all, you just need to show up and do whats assigned. If you still need help, she'll take the time out of her day to help you if her office hours aren't convenient. If you fail, that's completely your fault
One of the nicest professors I've had my whole college career. She is willing to help any student without any judgement. She will guide you throughout your written works whenever you feel stuck.
I truly enjoyed Professor Arnold's class as it was both thought provoking and insightful. She was approachable and have clear and thorough feedback on papers. If you pay attention in class and do the work the concepts should come easily to you and if not you won't have to work through it alone

Best English 201 professor!!!! Please take her, her class will make you a better writer.
I really enjoyed Professor Arnoldi's class. For her class we were required to do a couple of writing assignments and a final research paper. She lets you redo your assignments if she feels like you didn't meet the requirements. She's really sweet you won't regret it. Take her!!
This class is simple. Do the work and you will pass.
Professor Arnoldi is so knowledgeable. She tries very hard to help you on your difficulties. I learned something new every day. Do your work and you'll do great in her class. This class required some reading but everything is else is creative writing. I would take this professor over and over if it was up to me.
Prof. Arnoldi is a great professor. You won't regret taking her and you will definitely enjoy her class assignments. If you want to know anything about graphic novel? Go to her. She will guide you and teach you along the way. If you have any concern, she's quick to email you right back. You cannot fail this class if you put the work in! Take her
I've always had a desire to learn more about graphic novels and Professor Arnoldi provided that and then some. Great feedback, positive reinforcement, and constructive criticism are all aspects that she brings to the table. As long as you heed her advice and recognize your shortcomings, you will improve tremendously.
Professor Arnoldi is amazing, In every way. She is so inspiring and understanding. Her work is never an overload, and always clear. She allows you to be yourself as a writer, guides and supports her students. A true gem, I love her!!!!
I needed to cath up on credits and dreaded on taking a winter course, but I am happy I did. Professor Arnoldi made studying graphic novels exciting and using the online platform enjoyable. The required readings were interesting. The assignments allowed me to be creative. Professor Arnoldi online graphic novel course was awesome!
Professor Arnoldi is caring about our writing. She cares about what you're writing about, & likes to make us all write & talk about our writing. Her class consists of a couple of discussion boards, a 10-15 page short story that you can write on anything you like creatively, & a 1-2 page final exam. Very caring during the switch to online. Take her!
Best ENG professor! Prof. Arnoldi is an amazing, interesting and supportive person. She cares about her students and helps you get a good grade. You won't regret taking her class, she gives you enough time to finish your assigments and she will help you to imrove your writting.
She is one of the best instructors in the English Department. Professor Arnoldi is very passionate when it comes to making her students write better which shows how much she truly cares. She is also willing to go the extra mile so that the class can understand what she is teaching. Take her class, you won't regret it!
Professor Katherine Arnoldi is one of the best at John Jay. She is committed, driven and passionate about writing. I truly believe I have become a better writer because of her. In the end, we wrote a 15-page publishable piece, in which she gave excellent feedback. I highly recommend her class you will not regret it. We also did improv, it was fun.
Literally the BEST professor I have ever had. She makes sure you understand material and is so helpful if you want to talk to her privately. She's also such a sweetheart and cares for ALL of her students. Her activities can be a bit tedious but in the end you will come out of her class being a better writer trust me. The best english professor !!!
This class was one I definitely won't forget taking. It inspired me to keep up with my writing and continue unfinished projects. Professor Arnoldi won't overwhelm you with work, and the coursework will push you to pay closer attention to the world around you and realize that everyone has a story to tell.
Professor Arnold is one of the best professors I took as a freshman. She wants the best for her students and recommends you writing tutors for better grades (if needed). She thinks about the students because the work she gives will help you in the end of the day. For example one of them was an essay to apply to scholarship. She's really the best.
Professor Arnoldi is the best professor I've had in my time at John Jay. She's very caring of her students, constantly encouraging success and working with them to help in whatever way she can. She was even willing to write a letter of recommendation years after I took the class. I highly recommend this professor for all students at John Jay.
Professor Arnoldi is one of the most caring professors at John Jay! You can tell that she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She is always willing to help students understand assignments and makes class worth going to! I would 100% take her class again if I had the chance!
Professor Arnoldi gave me the confidence to write as much and as hard, as I can. She's amazing, a little bit chatty and loves hearing what people have to say, but those quirks are what makes her absolutely astounding: She wants to you to really use your voice in a way only you can! You won't regret taking her at all.
Katherine Arnoldi is a frail person by stature. Behind her timid frame is a heart that cares beyond any professor you will meet. After five years of taking her class she remembers our semester and respond fast when I ask her for a recommendation. The English 12 class was taken outside the realm of a typical English class.
Professor Arnoldi is wonderful, she is the best English professor at John Jay. She always give amazing feedback, grades your papers really fast, and she is very lenient and understanding if youre going through something.
The professor really tries to bring the class together and is all about breakout rooms in the beginning. She always gives clear instructions on what should go in any assignment. She even lets you rewrite your papers as many times as you want until you get an A! Usually we would meet on Mondays (Mandatory) and some Wednesdays. Would recommend!
This class was so much fun! I took this class in the winter as an English elective Creating a graphic novel. Professor Grinoldis course curriculum made the class fun and interesting and really interactive. Bring your sense of humor to the course.
Professor Arnoldi is an exceptional professor! I felt connected to the content she taught and was actually interested in the assignments. Her classes are very straightforward and she will take time to help you, need be. She also inspired me to apply for Fulbright! I strongly recommend her classes!
She is a wonderful professor and an amazing teacher. She is super nice and has a real passion for writing. Her assignments are fun to do. Participation is key but honesty there very enjoyable because listening to people's stories and most of them are funny to the beautiful backstory of people lives. I highly recommended taking her class!!
This is a great professor if you like a straightforward class that is based on just following the given instructions. The course was not too assignment heavy and there were minimal essays. There is an e-digication but she is very liberal with grading. She also pushes you to apply for scholarships which a lot of professors do not.
very confusing and stressful, thats it literally.
She doesn't give you the opportunity to choose her topic in your paper; she chooses it for you regardless of your opinion. she wants you to do the perfect paper. She doesn't know how to explain well and when you ask for help, she says you better go to the writing center.
Such an amazing professor, I truly recommend her. She's always so sweet and very organized.
A very good professor that actually cares about her students and their grade. She allows you to choose your topic and always gives great feedback to get the best paper you could write. You must do all the work and can easily revive an A!
Don't listen to any negative reviews of professor Arnoldi. This is the easiest class you will have in college and is an easy A only if you put in the work. She gives you every opportunity to get an A all you need to do is put in the work
The class was a breeze, she was very lenient. However, I just felt like it was way too boring for my pace, and sometimes in the class, there would be so many awkward moments that I really didn't wanna go there. If you want an easy A then take it.
Dr. Arnoldi is an amazing professor. She helps all her students to the best of her ability, and provides excellent feedback when reviewing papers. She is committed to making sure all her students succeed. As long as you do the work, the class will be a breeze.
If you have the chance to take this class, I would recommend you do so. Professor Arnoldi is a fair grader. As long as you do your work you will be fine.
Professor Arnoldi is a great educator. You will benefit from taking this class, she cares so much about her students and wants all of them to succeed. She gives clear instructions for her assignments and gives you time to submit them especially if you are having difficulty managing life/school. If you take any English course take this one.
