Reviews of professor Joshua Ellery

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Great professor, very funny,VERY hard grader. don't take this class if you wish to pass, Final is nothing like your notes, only a hand full of questions are retaining to your notes. 1 hr isn't close to enough to answer correctly , great guy just ruff with grading.

Professor Ellery is great! The lectures were fun/engaging, and he makes an effort to make sure the material is easy to understand. The term paper is a big project, but he grades your first draft and gives you helpful feedback for your final draft. He also strongly encourages zoom calls and emails if you have any questions. I loved this class.

The majority of the class is worth 30% of your grade which consists of quizzes and discussion board questions that you need to hunt for in his long lectures. There is a 6 page final and 4 essay questions on the Test final. If you don't answer the questions the way he would then you're going to get a low grade. I would not take any classes by him.

Prof E. was a cool guy, has lots of mid-2010's memes in his lectures. Syllabus was well laid out and accurate. Not much homework, but can't just recite facts, you gotta comprehend the texts. Listening to the lectures is incredibly important, thankfully he's a good lecturer. 9/10, would go out of my way to say Hi if I saw him in public

Ridiculous for a first year class. Up to 6 hour lectures per week, 2500 word essay worth 40% of your grade (he grades harder than English professors and you're not even taught how to write in this class), and he refuses to accept late work even though he will change the due date for assignments. He does email back quickly but was overall rude.

I had to take him two times and i had only made a D, and he has these quizzes and DB that are due almost every week on odd days of the week. he is online so he has almost 3 hour lecture videos that you watch just for 10 questions and most of it is nonsense. There is a 2500 word essay due at the end with a raggedy prompt that you stretch to fit WC

prof. Ellery seems to really enjoy what he teaches so it makes the class fun and interesting. Hes very accessible outside of class and always ready to help. Some of the reading is very old which can sometimes be hard to understand but the professor is always willing to explain the material in ways you can understand.

His lectures are long, but he keeps your attention. Be sure to listen and take notes as your grades depend on them. The term paper is a bit too excess in my opinion - 2500 words at minimum is a bit much. So I would advise if you work full time, this is not the class for you as he's not flexible on class work. He is easy to reach if you need help.
