Comment:
Ellstrand was a great professor, the class was easy. To the guy that complained about him Ellstrand provided us with sample test questions (which he used some of them on the exam), posted lecture slides online, and even made a study guide what more did you want. You want him to hold you hand too? You have to try really hard to not get a B or better

Class is very easy. Dont let the next recent review fool you. Ellstrand provided literally every opportunity to do well on the tests which are most of your grade. He provided study guides and sample questions that were actually on the exam as well. In all honesty if you dont get the grade you want thats all on you for squandering your chances.

A nice professor but a hard class. There is a curve for the class but I wish I had assignments that can benefit my learning of the course. He is a great guy but I really wish that there were more study materials.

Dr. Ellstrand is a smart and nice guy! During lecture, he often stops to ask if there are any questions, and often lets you know what will be on tests. 3 tests overall and 2 essays. He drops the lowest test though. This class may seem tedious at first, but stick through and study! Also, we had to read 4 books, but 2 online. He listens to feeback!

Comment:
Hes a really nice grandpa professor. Hes sweet and interesting but his grading scheme is a little unfair for people who want A's. He curves it well for a B- 75% but a solid A is still a 93%. So with the highest scores being a 92.5% on the midterm and 95% and the final, basically no one could get a solid A

Comment:
A pretty cool professor. Lectures are interesting and he does everything in his power to make sure that everyone is doing well in the class. I didn't put much effort into the class and got a B. 86% of the class got either A or B so it's a relatively easy class. Put a minimal amount of effort and you'll definitely get an A. Highly recommended
