Arne Kislenko

He is a fair grader. Thorough teaching.

Amazing professor! Took all his classes and havent missed a single lecture.

A cunning & respectable presence I've never been able to shake off. An A means truly weeding out your own bad habits. His emphasis on detail, specificity, and strong work ethic is impactful. As is his attention to serious, clear discourse. I'd recommend if you aim to improve public speaking. Easier said than done to have these serious discussions.

Don't take one of his classes and expect to just coast through, history student or not. You have to put in the effort. Dr. Kislenko is a fantastic lecturer and is there to help you with whatever you need. Go to office hours! Ask for help! The material is difficult but it's worth the hard work.

Professor Arne is very knowledgeable on his history however, unfortunately if you are not a History major I do not recommend taking this class. You will not do well because no matter how much you study or attend class the material is heavy. He also is a very tough grader and if you don't do things perfectly you're definitely going to fail the class

You need to show up!!- his slides are mostly photos for one, but more importantly his lectures are so engaging and it really shows that he knows what he's talking about. Really great if you try. If you don't, don't expect him to push you. Seems mean but he genuinely wants you to engage and succeed. Posts so many opportunities for students.

Prof Kislenko is so honest and knowledgeable. Incredible class. Anyone saying he's dumping on leftism isn't understanding what he's saying, or is unable to accept the well documented facts of history.

Incredibly disappointing. This is basically a Soviet history class straight out of a 1980s high school, filled with long discredited myths and a fixation on personalities rather than society and politics. This guy was literally a federal intelligence agent and uses his lectures as a platform to demonize left wing ideology, comparing it to Nazism.

He's a very hard marker, you should be as detailed as possible on test/exam. He gives the option to do an outline for the essay & he will help you find good research for it which is appreciated. Course content is interesting, but he is a really hard prof to do very well with imo. Exam is very long. Dont take the course if you arent prepared to read

Unlikely to get a good grade, hardest marker I've come across. If looking for a bird course he is not your guy. Unless genuinely interested in the course I wouldn't recommend. Aside from that, amazing lectures/content, prof seems like a good guy, and learned a lot. No question that you will love the course/prof, but will it be worth bad marks?
