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 animated voice, make his lectures highly entertaining.[3]
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.[4]
Arend is the author, co-author, or co-editor of several books, including:
