Reviews of professor David Elzinga

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He wasn't a bad prof but I feel like I didn't learn much of it from him. I think it may have been because there was a limited amount of practice problem for the content. I think that if he had some mandatory homework it would help to teach the information more. Also he didn't give much feedback on what you miss on quizzes and midterms. 6qz+3midterm

Pros: He really tries to make the problems simple, speaks clearly, is laid back, and responds to emails quickly. Cons: Sometimes he goes through problems too quickly, speaks a bit monotone

This was a very difficult class but he made it better than I think it could have gone. He makes practice problems that are similar to the ones on quizzes and exams but he doesnt provide a key. He provided extra office hours outside of class when I asked.

STAT 145-Professor Elzinga was an amazing professor, one of my favorites at UWL. I had him online this summer and he was always willing and flexible to meet outside of zoom via office hours or appointment.  He was good at responding to emails and very helpful. Lecture everyday, weekly quizzes and mastery checks. Midterms and final cumulative exam.

Mr. Elzinga is such a good math professor! He gives reasonable amounts of homework (not hw every night), and he gives multiple days to complete assignments. He reviews for tests which aren't very hard at all. Definitely take him!

He is a great teacher! The class for me was a little difficult but not too bad. The homework isn't for a grade so the only grades are the group projects, quizzes, and exams. He records every lecture and posts it on canvas so if you can't make it to class then you can just watch the video. Overall, I would take this class again!

Best math teacher I've every had. Explains math in a very simple, easy way to understand. He does not rush through material and assume that we already know and have mastered it (like many math teachers). Tires to give as much partial credit as possible. Short quizzes and exams, gives good advice for what to study. Good teacher.

I did not actually have David in Math 151, but in Math 152. Coming from my first semester with a prof that did not care much, I was shocked when I first had a class with David. He is a fantastic lecturer and cares about the students he teaches. He is hilarious and cares a lot. Fantastic professor.

I enjoyed Professor Elzinga. The course itself is easy but even when you ask for help, he is not hesitant to help you solve the problem. He'll prepare you very well for tests. This class is an easy A as long as you do the homework and show up for in-class grades. Elzinga was also very understanding w/ any issues if you email him ahead of time.
