Reviews of professor Paul Eliason

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Hes an ok teacher but I felt like he wasn't teaching a lot of the time in a clear way. I think he still needs to practice teaching us not like we are PhD students. Some of the questions that were asked I also think he wasn't able to explain very clearly and the student kind of gave up instead of actually understanding what Eliason was saying.

Dr. Eliason knows his material very well. I found the difference between lecture and homework, and homework and test, to be massive. It was quite difficult to connect the way he asked questions with how he taught the material. If you take this class, go to TA hours, go to his office hours, and memorize the proofs early.

Did his best to listen to students, answer questions, and provide feedback. Lectures were clear and easy to follow. He always made sure to follow up on questions. Good job.

Dr Eliason is a great guy. He always came well prepared for lectures and was very helpful outside of class. With that being said, I struggled to sit through his lectures. Most of the class is just proofs and derivations that you write down in a notebook and regurgitate for the test. Overall not a very hard class, but pretty boring.

I liked Dr. Eliason. His class was hard but he provides a lot of resources. Use the TAs and study with others

Paul is a great guy, and you can tell he really loves econometrics. However, some of the material is pretty hard to grasp, and he is not always great at teaching the lectures in a way that helps shed light on the more difficult parts of econometrics. I would definitely recommend the course but warn that it will be a lot of work to get a good grade.

388 is historically difficult, but I don't know if anyone could teach it much better than him. He really wants you to understand and it is very evident that he cares a lot about the quality of his class and teaching. I think he would be the best option for 388 and would be great once he starts teaching other classes, as this was his first semester.
