Comment:

Some of her PowerPoint were confusing and hard to follow. If you put in effort it will be worth it. I think she gives out 8 points of extra credit on your overall grade if you look for it. She loves it when people work in groups. I recommend talking to the people in your class and forming a study group, it helps!

My favorite teacher at TCU so far. Her lectures are brilliant and she explains the material very well. She is a little disorganized so you need to stay on top of stuff but if you show an interest and put in the effort, she will help you a ton!

She doesn't even give us the right due date for things and changes them randomly. She is an extremely difficult teacher. Could be a great class but she ruins it.

Exellent teacher- definitely makes you work for your grade. If you do the work, have an interest in economics, and desire to succeed in her class, she will help you in every way she can. I loved taking a class with her, didn't get an amazing grade in her class, and would do it all again if given the chance.

Does not teach well at all. Handwriting is god awful and she doesn't even try to make it better. Very lazy, doesn't use ecollege. Says her teachings are solely from the book but expects you to know things that she doesn't teach. She should just not be teaching. Avoid her at ALL COSTS!!

Although difficult to understand the rants she can go on sometimes, she provides you with a very deep understanding on microeconomics and will be willing to help your grade if you put in the effort. Make sure to read the book and an A is defintely possible.

Comment:

This class was definitely a challenge and you needed to attend class, thoroughly do homework, and read each chapter in order to receive an A. But Dr. Elliot is so nice and wants to help you if you try. She will always meet with you if you need help or any questions. Probably my favorite professor so far.

Comment:

Awful teacher. Homework is long and counts way too much towards final grade. Test questions are unclear and often misgraded. Expects way too much out of a freshman econ class; treats it like a grad class. Doesn't care to help and won't ever meet outside of class to help. Stay away!

Comment:

Absolutely the worst teacher I have ever had. Her lectures are confusing and she gets mad when you take notes, and she will not help when you go to her office. First test for a freshmen intro class was 20 pages long. Does not really care about students either, there is less that 30 in the class she might know 4 peoples names.

Terrible teacher. She made micro more difficult than I ever thought possible. She writes her own assignments and her english never ever makes sense. She is a terribly hard grader and her homework assignments are next to impossible. Nice lady but awful class. Avoid at all costs.

Completely brilliant. Best teacher I ever had! The only people who have difficulties understanding this class are obviously not smart enough to go to a four year college.

Hard for a freshmen micro class. Must study and work hard on your own to understand and succeed because her lectures are confusing.

Comment:

So here's the deal with this class... One of the most difficult classes I have ever taken, BUT if you are willing to work, then you will be rewarded with a superior knowledge of Microecon. Here's a hint: Read the book--OFTEN and MULTIPLE TIMES. Another hint: REFINE YOUR GROUP HOMEWORK TO GET ALL THE POINTS. In this class, every point matters.

Comment:

Prof. Elliott is very difficult to understand.It is an intro class, but is taught as if you know a lot. Her tests do not always match the book, and she doesn't explain the concepts in class. She likes certain students and will show her favoritism. Often goes on tangents that don't relate to the material. If you can take another professor, do so.

Very hard to understand and follow - read the text book!! The book will make studying make more sense. Homework is very important, make sure you take that seriously and get a good grade.

Comment:

I had Elliot for an honors micro econ class. I LOVED her! She really cares about her students. You have to show that you care in the beginning.. she'll work as hard as you do. The A is there if you get on her good side and stay there. I learned a LOT in this class. She was my favorite professor of the semester!
