[edit] Teaching Style

Professor Arend is known for his unique and flamboyant teaching style. In his classroom, he creates an aisle down the center, which he uses as he almost literally leaps and bounds around the room during a lecture. The movement, combined with his loud and animated voice, make his lectures highly entertaining.

Professor Arend is also known for bringing his love of music into the classroom. Usually, when explaining a principle through a hypothetical, most of the parties involved will be some sort of music reference. An example would be a case where the nation of Asbury Park took the Tunnel of Love to Jungleland, which they claim as their sovereign territory, a claim which has also been made by the nation of Badlands.

Professor Arend is also a very snazzy dresser, making sure to wear a matching shirt, tie, and cuff links to every class, along with his trademark suspenders.

Due to his entertaining lectures, his ability to clearly explain difficult principles of international law, and genuine love of his time in the classroom, he is generally regarded by his students to be one of their favorite professors during their tenure at Georgetown.
