Such a nice guy and really understanding. He gives you plenty of time for assignments and is a fair marker. Quizzes are fairly difficult but you will do fine if you study. The class was not mandatory to attend but the quizzes depend on class participation so if you want the quizzes to be multiple choice i would attend class and ask questions.

Comment:
Dr. Cera was a hilarious prof. Your grade solely depends on 4 exams and one written assignment. If you do the readings, attend class and listen to the lectures, you should do fine in the course. His exams were straightforward, but there were a few tricky questions. He makes it very clear that he does not care if you pass or fail his class.

All I can say is if you have a heavy course load and are looking to take PSYC 1200 as an elective, take it with Arnold Cera. Weekly classes arent mandatory and the only thing you really need to show up for is the exams. Just read the textbook and take notes, listen to the weekly lectures, write a couple exams, a paper and youre done.

He's funny and makes the lecture interesting. He loves it when students in online class turn on their mic and converse with him. He never bothers to read the text messages in the online class.

Arnold has a fun personality and works hard to answer questions, he isn't the most tech savvy but he does his best to understand. A great experience overall even though his quizzes are a little tricky.

Tough but fair grader. Has a grumpy demeanor, but is funny. Often goes into entertaining anecdotes about subjects. Sometimes gets too opinionated, and I found that some of what he said what misleading.

arnold does not do your typical type of lectures. He has sheets of definitions and reads them off and that is his class... would not reccomend unless you are willing to read the whole textbook. he is funny and does care, his teaching just isnt good. would not take him again... if you take his class READ THE TEXTBOOK

Arnold is a really funny guy, his lectures are engaging and interesting. No powerpoints, he just lectures by reading off a list of "key concepts" he makes for each week. Make sure you read the textbook too because his quizzes can be tough and include more than what he lectures on. Your grade depends solely on 4 quizzes (90%) and one paper (10%).

One of the best profs I've ever had in my 3 years of uni/college. Super engaging and hilarious. he makes the content applicable to us. don't miss his lectures because he goes through all key terms that will be on the exams. he seems intimidating but i respect his experience and ability to teach. be prepared because he calls on people sporadically.

gives you a sheet with terms and you have to memorize them to do good on tests. you will probably fail the first test, as he is very discouraging about it form the beginning. His written assignment was easy but all my friends got a 6/10. You literally only need the textbook for the terms but he literally goes through all the terms in class

He's a funny guy, a little scary at first. He doesn't use blackboard and isn't specific in his emails so if you want to know what's going on in the course, you have to show up. He likes to call on people randomly, you must pay attention in this class. Quizzes are straightforward, except some questions were confusing. Little workload for this class.

Super funny guy. I was very intimidated by him in the beginning of the year but he is truly a great guy. had 4 test and 1 writing assignment for this class. Keep up with the textbook it helps alot. Lots of discussions in class and he may call on you but dont be scared hes just trying to help you focus. 10/10 would take another class of his!!

Arnold is my favourite professor so far. Don't be mistaken by the constantly angry look on his face, he's super nice and bloody hilarious. Enjoyed this course, just show up, listen, and write some notes. 4 quizzes throughout the entire semester and they aren't really hard if you know your stuff. Highly recommend him.

Such a great professor! Enjoyed the humour put into the lectures, really well explained topics and chapters. Show up to class, there is extra info in the lectures that isn't in the textbook and the lectures aren't posted. Overall The 4 quizzes through the semester were fine you just need to know your stuff and you will do amazing. Loved this class!

Arnold is great but it really depends on your own personal learning style! If you prefer a more structured lecture with visual powerpoint slides and diagrams, then this is not the prof for you! Arnold's lectures are much more interactive and discussion based. If you read the textbook you will do fine on his tests!
