Lecture is fine, entertaining to listen to. However, absolutely rude, demeaning, and disrespectful to students after class.

horrible professor, didn't learn a thing, lectures are miserably boring. Would not mind seeing him leaving the campus soon, this class is pathetic, not worth what we pay for.

I had an on-line class where we met 4 times a term. He is awful, doesn't care, used very old materials, not a good professor.

Easy class. Consists of watching commercials on youtube and looking at powerpoint slides. He grades tests and projects very slowly.

Comment:

Class was really easy, but I don't feel like I learned a lot. Lectures consist of publisher powerpoint slides and watching commercials on youtube. He is really slow to grade tests and projects. His expectations for assignments aren't very clear.

Professor is great. Really knows how to make class not dreadful. Usually two hours classes are always awful, but Professor Elton makes the two hours move by quickly and generally efficiently.

I like Elton. His classes are easy of you study his powerpoint slides, you don't need to buy the book. I didnt open it once and still got an A just from in class participation points/quiz points and studying the slide

Comment:

Fairly easy course. Go to all the classes (Qwizdom points) and you should do fine on the tests with a little review. Elton was entertaining but was not always the most clear on the concepts we were going over; however, the Powerpoints are usually all you need anyway.

YouTube videos and publisher slides. At least the attendance points and daily quizzes boost your grade. Tests are usually over 70 questions but not that difficult.

Comment:

The class consists 50% of watching YouTube videos and the other 50% reading from slides. You will not learn anything from this class. Show up to earn your attendance points and take the daily quiz. I recommend bringing a laptop to keep yourself busy otherwise you will go mad.

Prof. Elton is one of the best teachers in the COB. He is really funny during class and his teaching style keeps everyone interested. If you like classes that are fun while you still learn, then Elton is a must for you!

Horrible teacher. This guy is a joke! I bet his students know more than he does, he is just a clown. Easy grade, won't help your career one bit.

If you plan on learning anything, get a different professor, if college is about breezing through and getting a degree, he's your man. USELESS USELESS USELESS!!! I did not learn anything in this class

THIS GUY IS THE BOMB! You need to show up because he is so cool, and a lot of what he goes over in class is on the midterm and final. (If you have one!)

Love, Love, Love him! there is a method to his madness, some students hate it, most love it. He will not do your work for you, he wants you to learn and think (he will help you tons!) Go to class! Pay attention, you'll hardly have to study for his exams (which are common sense....)

Comment:

This class is easy but so boring! Take something to keep you entertained because listening to Mark's lecture's will put you to sleep. Don't be fooled by the Mark's first couple lectures. He lures you in with some good youtube vids but it's all downhill from there.

Comment:

This is my third class w Mark.He is very fun/entertaining.I am concerned that he continues to show same U-tube & persuaders videos 4 3 very different BA classes. I hope to learn/see something new. He has open door policy and easy to approach. Has quizzes each class so people show up. Don't leave during lecture, he really frowns on that.

Comment:

nice teacher, really fun, interesting but sometimes rude and self concious about how right he is. We were talking about an economic concept which he was wrong about, I raised my hand to politely correct him. Instead he did a face saving maneuver to use his popularity to insult me and my idea in front of everyone even though he admitted fault later

he is one of the worst professors i have ever had. The tests do not resemble his lectures at all. If you want a good grade I do not recommend him at all!
