Leon Arriola
University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
Department:
Mathematics
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
Prof Arriola is pretty much terrible. He seems like hes a substitute during every class period constintly saying "I won't tell you why this works, it just does." He is very unogranized and doesn't know any of the students names. His tests aren't the worst but on the problems its all or nothing; either you get it right or wrong. It class is unbearably boring. Overall I would seriously avoid this professor if at all possible.
He is an alright teacher, although i would not recomend him he is very confusing. He is okay at explaining stuff but then on the test nothing makes sense. He doesn't collect homework but i would do it because the tests are very difficult.
Positive:
Is challenging
Shows a great knowledge of subject matter
Negative:
Is a bad professor
Would not recommend this professor
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Overly difficult tests or assignments
Makes class too challenging
This guy is disorganized and not on the ball at all. He degrades you for having an incorrect answer in class and is clearly sexist. The only reason to take him would be because his class is mandatory and only offered every two years. I really don't like him.
Positive:
Motivates students to do well
Has enthusiasm in the classroom
Negative:
Is a bad professor
Would not recommend this professor
Professor is boring or bland
Notes/lecture is confusing
Needs to involve students in class discussions
Professor does not relate to students
Arriola is a great prof. He doesn't require attendance, but it's a good idea that you go to class. He goes slow enough so if you miss it's not too bad and is willing to help almost any day. He'll sometimes give out extra credit if everyone's gone and you're there. Always answers and clears up questions. Only 4 exams. Final is cumulative. Overall, a great prof.
