Mr. Elam is one of the best professors at SCC. He'll work with you one on one until you understand the material and makes sure that everyone is on the same page. You really can't go wrong taking him.

Mr. Elam was a good teacher. Pretty much do the same thing every class do an assignment. The homework is easy if you paid attention to the assignments. He provides study guides for each test and the test are easy. As long as you try you should easily get an A.

Comment:
Mr. Elam was a fantastic teacher. While there were days where he seemed to be rather exhausted, he still provided excellent lectures to the students in the 9:00am CIS105 course. He is a personable teacher outside of the classroom and really wishes to see his students excel inside and outside of the class. I would highly recommend him for CIS105.

Comment:
I liked Elam's CIS105 class. His lectures were boring at times, and some people had technical difficulties with the computers. But he often demonstrated how to do the assignments, so you could easily get an A if you showed up to class. I took his hybrid class, which I personally liked. According to him he is more awake in morning classes.

James Elam's course was the first class I took at a college. It was a great class! The teacher was very clear and easy to understand on all the material. As long as you pay attention and try, it is an easy class to get an A. I also learned a lot from his class. It wasn't made easy from of a lack of material or difficultly, but because of the teach.

Comment:
Grades generously. Very laid back and approachable. Each class, he walks you through building a website. Lax on due dates. Great teacher for an easy A and niceness, but you might not learn a lot. BTW, this is a Dreamweaver class. You will never use the textbook.

He is really interested in making sure that students grasp the information. He does a lot of work in class, so you can see exactly what you need to do to complete the assignments and get a good grade. You get credit for attending his classes. I wish that all of my teachers were this thoughtful! He is always willing to help!!

Professor Elam is a great guy, but tends to be a little scattered in his teaching style. His lectures are informative, but very boring. Most of the class just surfed the internet when bored; which he allowed. I came out of his 133 class with enough knowledge to make a very basic website. Do not expect a comprehensive knowledge of the subject.

Assignments involving the book can be difficult if you don't read, but assignments that are based on Microsoft Office are pretty straight-forward. Everything is gone over in class to clarify before assignments are due and you have plenty of time in class to work on assignments. It's a pretty relaxed class and Elam helps a lot when you ask for it.

Very good teacher. Uses many hands on in class exercises to helo you grasp concepts. Lots of homework. Willing to help you at almost anytime. Will not give you the answers but help you to understand the concepts and resources to find answers. Would recommend. He is a bit odd but not in a bad way.

Great intro to HTML class. Pace good and he uses a laid-back style. Book used & tested. Lectures clear and hands-on. Demoed different layouts. Office hours and Lab hours very helpful. Elam does not give you answers but makes HTML easy to understand if you do the work. I came out with a need to know more and an idea of where to find my answers.

He really is a great instructor. Teaches everything very clearly and at a great pace. Treat him with respect and things will go very smoothly. Don't take his class if you are a slacker or habitually come in late.. you will regret it.

I got along with this teacher very well. I never had any problems with him on grades. He grades fairly and there is very little homework except for studing. I really liked his class overall because he had you try many different computer tasks such as website design, data-base, programing so you can find what your interested in.
