The best professor I took his class in 1995 and never forgot his stories about his studies Always was looking forward to attend his classSOC 2023-08-25 19:09:45 +0000 UTC
Arnie is incredible, I took his class at 9:15 am and always looked forward to it. The stories he tells in class are fascinating and tie into the material incredibly well. I took his class two full years ago and decided just now I needed to write this review. Thats how awesome the class is. Take it!!SOCI1101 2015-11-11 22:57:56 +0000 UTC
THE BEST PROF, EVER TAKE SOCIOLOGY!!! :)SOC1101 2014-04-10 15:22:08 +0000 UTC
Hands down the best professor I have ever had! I honestly didn't think it's even possible to enjoy a college class, but his classes were really interesting and entertainingSOC101 2012-12-22 23:09:25 +0000 UTC
Awesome dude. I took his class a semester ago, and it just occurred to me that I have to give Arnie his due props. His "classes" are basically "story time with Arnie", where he tells you wild, fascinating tales that end up teaching a sociological concept too. Totally fun, easy, stress-free class.SOCL1101 2012-12-13 20:31:08 +0000 UTC
ARNIE! This was probably my favorite class so far. 4 MC exams and 2 extra credit opportunities. His lectures are so interesting. Exams are based on lecture and textbook. Probably one of the nicest professors ever. I didn't believe the hype about how great this class was but after taking Arnie's, I'm a believer.SOCU101 2009-12-17 21:09:43 +0000 UTC
This man is absolutely amazing! He makes you want to go to class every day and potentially become a sociologist. If theres any possible way for you to take the class, TAKE IT!SOC1105 2009-11-30 19:50:09 +0000 UTC
He's so amazing. I wish he taught more levels. Love him! He's hilariousSOCSEC 2009-01-08 15:32:03 +0000 UTC
Hands down, best class I've taken so far and best professor I've had. Classes are fun, lectors are interesting, and he's hilarious to boot. My only complaint is that he doesn't teach more classes. I would take them in a heartbeat!SOOCU101 2007-03-24 09:44:45 +0000 UTC
I think anyone who goes to NU and doesn't take an Arluke class is missing out. Intro was the most memorable class I've taken at this University, and the reason I have a SOC minor. Great class, great man.INT2SOCMETH 2005-10-20 16:13:46 +0000 UTC
This guy was awesome, but go to every class and pay attention to his stories, they're so interesting and that's what his exams are based on04 2005-10-16 21:35:32 +0000 UTC
Very very interesting class. Very enthuastic teacher. Taught by telling stories about things he has actually done and studied himself. Really fun class. One of the best professors I've ever had here.INTROTOSOC 2005-09-05 07:57:40 +0000 UTC
