Reviews of professor Joel Ellsworth

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This class is very hard. In his lectures he will spend way too much time talking about a subject that doesn't matter, his homework is all based on the math for the class. Yet his tests are all about the theory. There is nothing to help you prepare for the tests and they are worth 75 percent of your grade.

Joel is the worst professor Ive had the displeasure of dealing with. He seems nice enough, until he sneaks up behind you and clobbers you over the head with an exam on material he didn't teach. Taking his classes is like an escape room of despair, and understanding his vague assignments is like playing telephone with group of chimpanzees. Good luck

Ellsworth is the worst professor I've ever had, bar none. He teaches four classes here and it needs to change. -There's no communication. He expects you to read his mind -His tests are nothing like the class or homework -We'll ask to go through problems and he'll spend 30 min trying to work it on the board and not get it Avoid if possible

TERRIBLE Professor! Joel is an amazing, great guy but he cannot teach to save his life. He uses other professors' lecture slides and just reads them does not help you understand the material. His tests are poorly written and you have to guess what he is trying to ask you during quizzes. We have completed 6 of the 7 labs and he has only graded 1-6?
