Comment:
What an awesome professor. I used to hate organic but he made me love it. Very clear in his lectures, helpful in answering questions, goes at a good pace, and exams are very fair. He'd rather test you on everything with fair (and sometimes easy) question than focus on 2 chapters and ask the toughest questions. Definitely take him if you can!

Great prof, one of my favourites. Really good at explaining the material and asnwering questions, but you need to go to class to do well. Know the material he taught in class and you'll do well on the exams. Didn't really use the textbook at all. Listens to student input on exams and adjusted the marks based and what was said about the difficulty.

Great prof, worth getting up for at 830. Always available in his office and didn't mind spending time to basically tutor you. Very fair marker, course was minimal work. Know the trends and how to justify your answer and your going to get almost full points no matter the answer you put. Good prof, good sense of humor

Very clear and concise. Speaks at a relatively fast pace, so you should be on the ball during his lectures. Midterms were fair. The final was quite difficult, but I am certain he curved. Overall, an excellent course.

Arndstern's a good prof (just as good as Wiseman and Fenster). Everyone is just tired of chemistry by the time his section comes. His lectures are clear and comprehensible, and his section really isn't hard, if you watch the lectures and read the notes.

I think he's a really great prof. replies emails, unlike Fenster. By the end of the semester, people get burnt out and lazy.I really thought his section was the easieast one. But bad timing. Overall, he is a great prof. He is an american but he's been Canadianized! He's very helpful and cares for us

His lectures were fast-paced...but he had to complete more material than Wiseman and Fenster. His section also covered the most challenging information. Nice prof, willing to help outside of class.

So this guy's pretty arrogant. He think's he's all that, but really.he's not. He tries to be funny, but it ends up being only him that's laughing. Well maybe those who brown-nose r laughing too.lol. He goes super fast, i missed a lecture, and I had to stop it every few slides to try to understand it

I don't get why Arndsten gets such poor ratings... he's really a good teacher. Much better than most first year McGill profs. Sometimes his lecture notes are out of order (it's so frustrating!) but in general, I've been able to focus in his class really well.
