Reviews of professor Christopher Elliott

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If you're taking his class online- don't. Every week we had to read several articles/ excepts from a book and then write a paper on it. It was confusing at times, and you had to have a very thorough grasp on the reading in order to write about it. If you have the chance, take it with a professor who lets you study actual material and take tests.

Lots of required readings for this course, but Dr. Elliot goes over the material and breaks it down in a way that's really easy to understand even if you have no prior knowledge of sociology. He claims to be a tough grader for exams but I'd say as long as you take good notes the exams themselves are pretty straightforward and they're easy to pass.

If you have a basic understanding of sociology and are willing to put in the work, you should do fine. Breaks stuff down well. I may be biased because I love sociology, but his content is relevant, interesting, and well-chosen. Two 5 page papers, 3 exams, and 1 book (which is incredibly interesting). He is a fair and lenient grader. I loved him!

One of my favorite professors. He really cares about his students and wants you to succeed. He curves every single exam and allows extra credit on top of that. He mostly lectures and they are boring but you have to attend class to turn in assignments every class. An A is very easy to attain as long as you do the assignments and show up to class.

Professor Elliot is a really great lecturer, but if you don't like to just sit and take notes for an entire class, avoid him! His class is all lecture and it's up to you to write down the notes. His only assignments are readings for homework that are generally pretty easy and can be done in 30 minutes or less. Really interesting course content!

Great professor. His voice is a little monotone, but if you pay attention in class, the lectures are pretty interesting. No textbook, but reading questions every night. He is willing to help you out if you just ask. Really smart guy.

This class was a really fun introductory class for sociology. There was a reading and questions due at the beginning of every class but they were not extremely difficult. Attendance is mandatory but it is very useful information that you can use. Overall, this class and Professor Elliot was a good choice.

Prof. Elliot was is a great teacher that will take the time to break down what you do not understand. The course material can be confusing, but he encourages students to work together and ask quality questions. Get ready to read from textbooks, outside sources, and write page-length essays. Put in the work when reading, and you'll be perfectly fine
