Reviews of professor Crystal Elerson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I am an A student and I was on the verge of failing this class. She grades insanely hard and has favs that get things the rest of the class doesn't get. They got more feedback, and multiple times I have sat in her class for 20+ minutes waiting to ask a question while she talks to her favs about things that dont have anything to do with the class.

 If you miss more than 5 classes you fail the class. A lot of homework assignments and the group project is super annoying. She gives great feedback but will take a lot of points off for the little stuff. She will definitely help you and pretty much do the work for you if you go up and ask for help. Would not take again

Dr. Elerson's class was the reason I changed my minor. She grades harshly and nitpicks niche unnecessary concepts. For your final group project, she will make you create a group contract that essentially tells you "don't contact me figure it out yourself" and will not respond to your emails. She treats her class like an office, not a classroom.

Dr. Elerson is a very personable and understanding professor. She was a very fair grader and genuinely wants you to do well. I had a question about a grade I received on an assignment and she went above and beyond to explain the assignment rubric and help calculate how it would affect my grade. Turn in your work and go to class and you'll get an A.

I'm an A student and struggled at the beginning of the semester because of how tough she grades. Once I learned her style of grading and expectations, it was not hard to get an A+ in the class. If you want to succeed in her class you need to be detail-oriented and pay attention. She really cares about her students and wants to help them succeed!

She does not give much feedback and what she does give is vague and unhelpful unless you sit at her desk in person and go through your work.  She will give "incompletes" and 50% for small details on drafts.  Takes a while to respond to email.  Will wait over a month to put in grades.  Ignores messages asked about feedback.

This was my 3rd course with Dr. Elerson. If you need help do not email her, go to her office hours. she typically has them 2x per week. She is willing to give extensions and detailed help if you go to office hours.She has issues running blackboard but will compensate by giving extra time on assignments

I liked that she gave us detailed videos on what to do. I didn't like that she wouldn't post anything when she said she was going to then post it several days later with the same due date, it was hectic and stressful. Ultimately if you followed all the instructions she provided in videos and pdfs then you would do well.
