Comment:

Although this was a tough intro course (three 12 page papers that were graded pretty tough) it was really a great experience. I love Greg, he's such an adorable old man and even though ultimately I decided that Sociology might not be for me, I'm glad I got to have professor Elliott for a semester!

His lectures were rather boring and too theoretical. Often I didn't realize I was confused until I went to write one of the three brutal 12-page essays.

Comment:

Prof. Elliott is so articulate and passionate, and I always leave his lectures in introspection. He really cares about his students, too. As busy as he is with research and institutional obligations, he is so helpful during his office hours. He is caring, approachable, and definitely one of my favorite people here at Brown. Take a class with him!

Prof. Elliot is great! I took his statistics course, and although statistics is boring and difficult, he's always full of energy and loud enough to keep you awake and paying attention! Plus, he's always willing to give extra help during office hours and he's super friendly.

Elliot is a mix between your Santa Claus and Einstein. I loved his class, was never bored. Despite his high expectations for writing ability, I really felt like I got a lot out of taking this class.

Prof. Elliot is very approachable if you have any questions just ask he'll answer happily. GO TO CLASS if you want to get a good grade because you'll need complete notes for the open book tests.

Comment:

This was by far the worse class and professor I have had in my four years at Brown. He was hard to understand and often gave unclear examples. Most of what was said was not relevant to test. Without the book I would have been lost

Professor Elliott was able to do what many professors cannot: he made lectures interesting. He made all of his points clearly and made the class care about the material.
