Comment:
I have had this professor for 4 courses, he is the only teacher that is impossible for me to learn from. His writing is NOT legible, he moves very fast, making it impossible to take notes. His exams are impossible. This is because he is constantly trying to trick his students into missing the questions. He is unapproachable in/out of class, RUDE!

Comment:
Lectures are difficult to understand with his fast pace, impossible to read his writing. Not very approachable and makes you feel stupid for asking questions. Exam questions not very clear and have to read in to what he would want, not what the questions state. The only unreasonable prof in the dept and hope for his retirement before I graduated.

"If you don't have enough common sense to know that, then maybe you're in the wrong major."

Comment:
One day a student in class asked him a question. His repsonse was, "Hold on, let me grab something to scribble on." Um...hello?!?!...all he ever does is scribble! You can't read his notes at all and he doesn't even give you time to write everything even if you can read his "scribbles"

Comment:
I was scared of Elkins and switched majors. Later switched back to engineering to finish and I liked him a lot. He definitely takes getting used to. Once I got used to the harshness, he was my favorite teacher. He was a great systems mentor. Please, OC, DO NOT USE ENGINEERING PROFESSORS TO TEACH MATH CLASSES!

oh my goodness this guy doesn't have a clue! Like he knows what he's talking about most of the time but can't convey it to anyone. if you take this class, be prepared to teach yourself!!!

good stories but they do not pertain to the material that he is not clear on anyways. you can write something on a test straight from a book and he'll count it wrong and not change it even when you show him the page in the book

My only problem with Dr. Elkins is that he teaches a 2 hour Trigonometry course the same way he would teach a 4 or 5 hour Engineering course.

I didn't get much out of this class, but honestly, a lot of that was my fault. I should have put more effort into it, but I might have been more motivated if Dr. Elkins' teaching style fit my learning style better. However, he is a very nice man.
