Comment:

The best history prof I've had so far! His class is extremely lecture heavy so if you miss a week, you miss a lot of material. His grading criteria is clear and he is lenient with it as well. Non history majors, I highly recommend. Hist majors might find his class too easy however. Overall a great guy and instructor, would take again!

Greatest history lectures I've ever sat through. My attention does not divert from the lecture once. Extremely knowledgeable, clear expectations, and no political or historical biases are clear during lectures.

Mr. Elliott is a true gem. He is always super excited during his lectures and clearly plans out your class schedule (and your homework). When writing your two essays (great prompts) he gives you the option to have him look over it before you submit! The midterm has questions straight out of the study guide and is graded generously.

Elliott is a really good prof as long as you don't mind lectures. He has a good sense of humor and a real enjoyment of the subject. Show up to class, listen to him for an hour and a half, do the quizzes, 2 papers, midterm, and final and you're golden. His grading criteria is very straightforward and he wants to make history as easy as it can be.

Took him for 104 and 108. He is an amazing professor and you have 2 essays to write and 1 midterm and a final. This was the layout for both classes and I passed in both classes. A in one, B in the other. He is very passionate about what he teaches and is very knowledgeable as well as engaging. I would definitely this class again.

This is my second class with Elliot and I can assure you he is a great prof! He is so knowledgeable about history and how everything connects. He makes things interesting but lectures can get long if you are tired. Come to class with coffee and get ready to have your mind blown! Class is graded by 2 easy papers and exams, with easy quizzes! Easy A

Comment:

One of the most inspiring history teachers I've had and I recommend taking a class with him to all my friends. His lectures are so interesting, I never once dreaded going to class. The homework is just one online quiz a week and even though its open note, I never had to look at my notes because his lectures are so memorable.

One of the best History teachers I've ever taken. Super talented amazing attractive yet amicable professors at SBCC. His class theme song (Pay the Price by Eric and The Hostiles) always brightens everyones day and no student ever gets tired of hearing it. Easy class, fun professor, easy assignments too.

Took history with him over the summer. Learned so much & he really lit a fire for history. Fairly organized but understanding if you aren't. He's pretty flexible with due dates too.

Professor Elliott is THE BEST. He is an amazing teacher, and knows his sh*t. If you don't care for history, he will make you care for history. This class was the most interesting history class I have ever taken. And, it's super easy. As long as you show up, take notes, read the required readings, and take the online quizzes each week, you'll pass.

Very easy class to pass with a good grade yet you learn alot. Professor David Elliott is extremely knowledge in his field, and I had a great time in his class. He is also one of the kindest professors I know on campus! He doesn't assign homework, and is a very lenient and kind grader. The Essays and Midterm/Final were very easy if you study!

Comment:

Professor Elliot was amazing! His great lectures made me think a lot about history and even human nature. Many people, including myself, went into his class thinking it would just be another general history class, but it was definitely not. I heard many classmates saying they had the same experience. Amazing! I would definitely recommend.

best lecturer i've had so far at SBCC. Hist 108 isn't going to surprise you content wise, but he did a great job of focusing the class on themes that we can see throughout history, making comparisons I have never heard or thought of before. Attendance taken first two weeks, assignments included 3 medium papers and two short answer exams. Pay him.
