Elsner isn't a bad teacher. He may need some help if he stumbles over himself while working out a problem.

Nicknamed Easy E. Don't be deceived, he's not that easy. Do the homework problems he gives out. They're not graded, but you'll be glad you did them. Tests are cribable and easy if you do the homework.

Pretty easy class. Doesn't collect homework, but for Calc 3, it's something that should be done. Even if you don't, you'll still get a passing grade.

Easy E is easy! Show up to class take notes and you should do just fine. First quiz I got a 70 and the next quiz I got a 95. It's just up to you if you do the work right. He wont give you anything below a 60...you can't fail!

Easy E is great. 60 first test, 95 second, 61 Third (who really gets series?) ended the class with a 74. Studied approximately 12 hrs and it was in the last week. Bad grade was my fault, but Easy E was the man!!! Just study, it's Calc, you need to go over it.

Easy E. Kind of boring lectures but he does know what he is talking about. Gives out cribs for the test that are helpful for the real ones. I barely went to class and found it easy to do decent on the tests.

Comment:
Mr. Elsner is a good educator. At the same time, he does have his standards. If you think that you can get by with not having a clue, then your chances of passing are slim. His generous grading scale would only get you to a ?D? at most as he is kind enough to not drag your GPA to the ground even if you actually deserve an ?F?. No HW, Maple, EC.

They don't call him "Easy E" for nothings. You can;t get lower than a 60 on any given test or exam. However he tends to skip around during lecture. He is ok at explaining things if you go to his office hours. Since our class did so bad he is curving our final grade in addition to the exam.

Pretty boring, especially if class is in the morning. He teaches material pretty well until the end, then he doesn't explain things as clearly. Wont hurt if you skip a clas here and there

He is an excellent professor. I had him for Calc II and purposely took him again for Calc III. The rundown (for either class): no homework ever due; 3 tests + final exam; tests have basic problems, nice curves, and are crib-able; extra credit opportunities; no attendance; willing to answer questions and clarify information; actually teaches you!

Comment:
Your relationship with Elsner is love or hate. Mine was love. This guy can be pretty boring by his tone of voice, but if you listen to his words, they're clear as glass. The homework is easy and relevant. He gives you cribs for each test and they're very similar. Think happy thoughts and do the cribs. Grading scheme is VERY easy.

I didn't learn a THING! Even when a question was asked this prof wasn't very clear and went off on tangents. Although he may be easy...YOU WON'T LEARN A Thing. he is another one of those profs that are to smart to teach the subject.

Very nice guy. Knows the material, but mind numbingly boring. I couldn't stand going to his class. It was PAINFUL. You can learn from him but it is REALLY boring. It's not hard to get a good grade. I owe Anderson one for his help with this class.
