Mr. Arko is the worst teacher I have had. He cannot solve any physics questions without the help of the solutions sheet. He makes a mistake every lesson and example. His teaching style is horrendous and will make you fall asleep. If he were to take his own class he would fail since he does not know anything but to look at the answers for help
My daughter had this teacher for grade 12 chemistry. She is now a 3rd year science major in university. She had to teach herself chemistry as this teacher was ineffective . Once in first year in university she fell behind because mr arco did not go into the necessary depth required. She needed tutoring to help bring her up to the level she neede to be. My daughter had a 95% average in high school and is very bright. All this could have been avoided if did his job.
I had Mr. Arko back to back semesters for grade 11 and 12 physics. The way the class works is if you don't do your homework every night, you will do bad. I ended up with a 75 in grade 11 with a 65 on the exam and an 80 in grade 12 with an 83 on the exam. Although the tests were difficult, it really taught me to be independent and work hard on my studies. Arko's class isnt easy and you have to work hard. Although he isn't the best teacher, he is very kind and is always there to help you in need.
coming from an honour roll student, this class was extremely difficult, very easy course to fail. his teaching style is extremely boring and voice will put you to sleep every single day. I spent more time figuring out how much longer til the class ended than doing work or listening to his "copy and pasted textbook" lesson
Horrible teacher, so boring and marks extremely hard.
90 average student failing
worst teacher ever! always makes mistakes and hardly finishes questions he does on the board. if you have him please drop out. He is way too confusing and it defiantly not clear .
I had him for summer school so far a good teacher but I think he's boring and monotone
The kindest, smartest gentleman anyone could want as a teacher. He should be the head of the department because he knows chemistry, physics and biology as well as any teacher that has taught me - ever
Horrible at teaching. He's good one on one, but he's kinda relunctant to help. His test are really bad, a page short and with questions that you've never even gone over.
hes good at chem but he cant teach at all! his tests are impossible! even if you study for 3 hours the night before your sure to fail!
He is very amazing at Chem. The thing is that he is not so good at teaching it. I think all teachers should have a friendsly bond between students. it seems to me he just does what has to be done.
Mr. Arko really knows his chemistry. Wow. He is always there if you need help too. Good teacher!
Mr.Arko is actually a very god teacher. Hes very monotone. But funny and easy at times. He made us copy a note a day.. which didnt really help me learn the material.
ahhhhh - mr. arko....GENIOUS - he really knows his stuff and is quirky funny "red is for ac.ed" lol he's very monotne though, and has never smiled (I don't think), but hes a coole guy:)
He's a Genius, knows his stuff, nice guy, can be funny somnetimes, but boring in his teaching also needs to work on helping out students that are struggling, teaches too fast
He is such a funny guy, if you just understand his humour. Vey Smart, yet boring at times
He's quiet and his jokes might not make you laugh, but he realises that school isn't about jokes. YOU ACTUALLY DO WORK IN THIS CLASS OMG!!! Props to setting us up well for uni!
I think Mr. Arko is one of our best science teachers, I had him for grade 10 and 12 science, and it was only in 12 when i realised what a great teacher he is. Just pay attention
it is hard to pay attention sometimes but if you know what you are there for -to LEARN- his class won't be that bad. he gave me a passion for chemistry, gonna miss him in uni.
A briliant teacher, but I couldn't pay attention. Good dry humor if you listen hard enough.
He's kinda boring so it's hard to pay attention, but a smart guy. I'm sure he hates me for disrupting his class though, sorry Mr. Arko.
all i have to say is i respect him so much for being so SMART! awesome! needs more self esteem, but he is so intelligant, i love this guy!
Here's a teacher who knows his stuff. Awesome university prep... just make sure you pay attention!
bring a good book...but he's a good guy at heart. also, he is hilarious if you can pick up on his subtle humor.
Long notes, short tests, good exam, nice guy, ask for more?
Not many surprises in his class. Just be sure to study the stuff in the book.
The coolest teacher I have ever had. Never gets upset. Very intelligent .
Quiet and carefree.... extremely quiet and un-exciting, but an overall good guy
He's consistent, but bring some cards, it could get boring in there.
