Best teacher in group of 300 teachers, fair man that assigns no homework

He's a great teacher

Whitty professor. Good Teacher. Best of the 300 profs

funny professor-makes the class interesting or at least tries to. group presentation is really easy. he's the best!

A really nice guy that tries to make management class as interesting as possible. The tests can be difficult if you don't read the book. The group project (I'm not talking about the business plan) is very simple and everyone gets full credit on it.

great teacher, one of the nicests and entertaining. brilliant man (whats he doing here). read text well to do well on tests. one of the better cob teachers ive had. hes also very approachable and helpful.

Straight-forward and easy grader

One of the most brilliant people I have ever met. This translates to his teaching. He has a witty sense of humor and tells things how they are. Study book objectives and notes, and you will do well.

Great prof. Easy tests, no attendance policy, almost no assignments, and very helpful with the business plan.

Decent class, no attendance policy, good teacher

Excellent with class lessons and life lessons. Fair tests, and really taught me the most out of all my COB300 teachers.

The tests are pretty easy, except the final was the hardest of the 3. No attendance policy at all. Tells a lot of stories, really sarcastic...some people loved him, I felt otherwise. But not a bad class.

hotness!!!

Willing to work with you, very understanding, let me take final early to attend internship

Interesting Lectures. Intelligent. Helpful. What an educator should be.

Great teacher. Understanding and very insightful when it comes to teaching. Passionate about his job and willing to help on Business plan. No attendance policies, tests had no surprises.

Great professor! Very clear and helpful. Lectures were usually fun and interesting. Tests were fair and often humorous.

One of the finest professors I've had at JMU. Fair, willing to meet with you any time, and he kept the classes interesting while teaching management. Go to class and learn non-management stuff you can actually use in real life.

He is a great guy, but tests are too hard for a management class

One of the best professors I have had at JMU. Teaches what you need to know to pass. Makes it interesting. So friendly, and really wants to help, not only in class but with everything after 300...he's a professor I would go back and ask for advice. You are lucky if you get him

Really great teacher, make sure you go to class and take notes, not an easy A but if you put the work in you can do it! Teaches useful life lessons, take him if you want to be stimulated

Funny guy but pretty dorky. He has a very dry wit but is actually pretty genuine person. Helpful with the pain in the ass class.

His tests are kind of tough, unless you study, haha, great guy, helpful with the business plan

His name sounds like he should be a wrestler. Good prof. Hard tests. Funny but only bc i like corny jokes, and he tells them on purpose

great professor. class are boring sometimes. he tries to make them fun with his corny jokes. tests are pretty much the vocab from the book. study that, and you should be fine

Very good teacher. He is very knowledgable in alot of different areas, if you need help on your business plan i recommend visiting Mr. Eliason first. His test aren't that bad if you study and if you have good attendance if gives you bonus points on test. Awesome teacher

Amazing teacher. Love this guy.

one of my favorite professors ever. very helpful, tests are pretty easy, so nice and really cares about his students! take him :)

this guys is awesome. shows concern for his students and wants you to learn the material. very helpful in office hours if you should ever need anything. consider yourself lucky if you get him.

One of the best teachers I have ever had at JMU. He knows the material so well and makes it entertaining to learn. The stuff isnt that exciting but the way he teaches he makes it bareable. He is so nice and is so helpful on the business plan and the project. Take him, he is great!

You'd be lucky to have this guy as a professor. One of my favorites. Always has a crazy tangent that leads back to the original material. Motivates and encourages students to do their best, and has little quips about life. Eliason, in short, is the man.

One of the best professors I have had so far at JMU, really makes class interesting and knows how to keep students attention, take him if you can

The easiest professor i had at JMU so far...he tries to scare you and tell you his tests are super hard...but they are def not..easy A

Good guy, funny, nice car

always has funny video clips and stories in class. really helpful and just a nice guy

Easy to understand, lots of real world experience and great little videos to break up class.

Awesome guy, though can seem intimidating at times. Class is always interesting; he often uses real-world examples and videos to keep you awake. Tests are straight-forward. Talk to him outside of class, he is the man!

Great class. Made a boring subject amazing. I would follow this man to war.

Eliason is the best professor I've had at JMU. Cares very much for his students and wants us to do well, not only in class but also with the business plan. Amazing man...

Classes are decently interesting. Watch out for his tests, they're pretty tricky, he likes you to really know ur stuff. Does a lot of random stuff in class, jokes keep you alive. DEFINITELY sucks to be on his bad side concerning the plan and benchmarks--highly critical and kind of a jerk.

He's a great professor. His tests are written weirdly at first, but after you begin to understand how he thinks they're easy. Hilarious and helpful. Overall, he cares about the student as a person. It's great.

He is the best professor I have ever had. Class is always interesting, because he knows when stuff is boring... it's a sense that all teachers should have.

Eliason is absolutely fantastic - his lectures are interesting, and he applies things to the real world. He'll show random videos to break up the lecture. If you're assigned him, you're in for a treat!

What can I say, Eliason's one of those professors where you pull more out of the class than just academics. The guy's been everywhere and has some very good advice. Always made class interesting, definitely a favorite among students. Exams were a bit hard for the material being so "common-sense." Everything else is a breeze. Awesome professor!

Eliason was absolutely amazing. No one looks forward to cob300 but I always enjoyed class-great lectures with real world application, he has tons of experience in the corporate world, he is SO funny, and absolutely inspiring. I hope that when I graduate my boss will be JUST LIKE ELIASON!

Class is pretty boring but you have to go (2 free misses). Eliason does his best to make it interesting though. If you go to class and follow the directions on the research assignments there is no reason you should not get a good grade. 400/1000 class points are basically just for showing up and the tests are not that difficult.

he is a great guy. take good notes and use them to study- once you understand his tests you'll do fine. i did terrible on the first, aced the second easily. he can be harsh on the benchmarks, but he really cares and he's definitely one of the better cob 300 teachers.

Eliason is the man. He is hilarious and makes his lectures as interesting as he can all though the content is pretty boring. However his tests are pretty hard so study hard for them, the final is not cumulative. Should be an easy B if you go to class and study for tests. You'll love Eliason

Great teacher & makes the class interesting. ALOT of information on the tests make sure to break it up when studying and start a few days ahead of time, mainly on the note sheets and some from the text book. Cases are 20 points each and really easy if you read them. Attendance is worth 10% of your grade... easy points Overall he's Great!

Great professor! Finally someone who actually teaches! He is always willing to help, is very approachable, knows his material, and is real with his students. He makes you work hard but also makes it worth it. Not difficult to get a B and make sure you get a book with the note sheets.

Very inspirational and nice. Study a lot for exams and you can do well. Use the LearnSmart feature on Connect. I loved it and it helps you learn the material as you go! Read the notes at the end of the chapters bc those are the main focus on his tests. Plays cool videos in class so it's not boring. Doesn't change your grade, it is what it is.

Currently sitting in one of the most inspirational and interesting lectures I've ever attended in my entire college career. Eliason gives a unique, fresh perspective on not only management, but life as well. Work load is reasonable and tests are not bad at all if you spend some time studying. Makes it clear what you need to know. Love this man.

Fairly easy class. Study the note sheets in the back of the book and listen to his stories (they show up on exams). Overall, I would recommend him. Do well on the case studies, they add up to a substantial amount of your grade. 2% Extra credit for perfect attendance.

Great class, study for the tests. If he gives something out make sure you read it.

Wonderful man with great stories. Easy A, but you learn a lot along the way.

Bob Eliason is the man. He's hiked more trails than the amount of fingers and toes that I have, and I have 6 toes on one foot. He really prepares you for exams and everything with his notesheets. If you get him for 300, you just cashed out.

Top 3 favorite teachers at JMU. You can tell Bob has a passion for teaching. His lectures are interesting and it is not hard to pay attention. He breaks up the class with videos that relate to the subject. Assignments are very relevant and you don't dread them. Best of my COB 300 teachers by far. Attendance is important but your allowed two skips.

Eliason knows his stuff. Class was made much more enjoyable with stories from his experiences and videos throughout the lectures. He's a very engaging professor and straightforward about his expectations for class. Tests are long and can be a little tricky, but as long as you show up to class and follow the given note sheets, you'll be fine!

Bob is the bomb. His lectures are always so interesting, and even though the material might seem like common sense, he relates everything to actual businesses. His tests can be difficult if you don't use his note sheets in class. All the homework is online. He is super helpful if you go to his office hours for advice about the business plan.

Absolutely love him, he's the most interesting cob300 teacher. Does attendance randomly, not necessary to show up to every class but most of the tests are based on lectures. The textbook for this class is only a $30 online book because he hates the bureaucracy of college textbooks. Has a lot of interesting stories about his life and life in general

Bob was by far the best 300 professor out of all of them. He is one of the most interesting people I've ever met and he brings a lot of enthusiasm to the classroom. His class was so reasonable: non-cumulative final, three tests, online quizzes, and one short presentation. I'd recommend him to anyone. Seriously love the guy.

Bob's the GOAT, one of my fav professors at JMU. Made having 8:00am COB300 bearable. 3 tests all taken at Ashby, are fairly easy if you study a little, very easy to get a B, hard to get an A, but his class is structured in the way that all the easy outside assignments add up, and really can boost your grade - also gave 2% of EC which was awesome.

Bob is a very interesting man. Although you won't learn much about interpersonal skills, you do learn a lot about life in general. We had one group project that we worked on the entire semester, but its not hard. Tests aren't bad if you study the powerpoints and book. Solid choice for 202 prof, take him

Made this tues thurs class at 8 am so bearable, he's so funny and inspiring, his life experiences are way more exciting and interesting than any of ours combined, his tests are reasonable if you fill out in class note sheets, he's a little tough during the plan but that's to be expected, 8 ams suck but this guy is definitely a plus

Bob is an incredible professor with amazing stories about his past careers and travels. Three pretty hard tests, but no final. Easy weekly case studies about unique business structures, which make up for the hard tests. Ties seemingly random things into management during lecture (chicken sexing, planes, animated music). 10/10 recommend

His lectures seem to get off topic sometimes, but in a good way with interesting stories and material. There are three tests that you take on Canvas, but they are rather difficult; there's no final. Takes attendance randomly about 10 times a semester. Helps a decent amount with the business plan as well. Overall, great guy that I would recommend.

Great teacher, hilarious and best of all 4 COB 300

Eliason is a great guy. He connects very well with students. Tests aren't too bad but you have to study and read book. Other assignments he assigns are easy 100 if you do them and try somewhat. By far best management prof for 300. Wouldn't say its an easy A, but its possible. It is an easy B or above

Eliason is a good guy. Likes to talk about himself a lot though. Make sure to read the textbook and take notes in class because tests cover it all. THIRD test is VERY absurd. A lot of random questions you wont know.

Eliason is THE MAN. He brings the classroom to life with so many life stories, examples, and jokes. Lectures and assignments have real-life application, which is awesome! Be prepared for the question-portion of the business plan presentation, though; tough questions. 15ish quizzes based on assigned case studies, 3 Tests, and 1 "Final." Take him!

Pay attention in lectures

Pay attention during lectures. Bob is a sweet guy and has some cool stories if you ask him about hiking!

Great guy and interesting lectures. Lectures do not reflect much on exams which are very hard. Hard to know what to study for the exam.

Professor Eliason is by far my favorite business professor I have ever had! The amount of knowledge that you can learn from him is immense. He's super funny and really a sweet guy. His exams are hard but he outlines everything through his study guides, note sheets, and in-class discussions. There is no reason you should not do well in his class!

bobs an interesting one ill tell you that much. his class has 3 tests and a few easy case studies, and for the test you are allowed one cheat sheet so its not bad. he definitely will make you laugh.

Great guy but he goes on tangents about topics that aren't on exams or super relevant. Enjoys talking about his life in class, but gives really good feedback for the business plan.

He is one of the coolest professors I have ever had. His material is actually relevant and interesting with very little homework and 0 papers. However, he is scattered at times and his exams are unreasonably hard with material you didn't learn in class. With that being said, he usually goes in and gives back some points. Great choice for the class!

Eliason was awesome. His course is structured as a conversation every class - no textbook chapters, reading quizzes, etc. He uses real world examples to talk about business and is super funny and understanding. It's relaxed. I went to every class, casually did the homework, read a decent amount, and got a 90%. So you don't need to go crazy. Take.

Eliason is good at what he does, not hard to do well in his class

I love professor Eliaso . Genuinely one of my fav professors here. Most genuine human ever and his humor is the best, has me laughing all class. A few hw assignments and multiple choice test. Lectures are relevant and interesting. I would take him again if I could.

Eliason is such a sweet sweet man. I enjoy him as a person but his test are unnecessarily hard and are 60% of your grade. It's not an easy A but he is a gem in the College go Business.

Great professor. He is very funny at times and a very of his lectures were fun and very interactive. More than fair guy, Tests are decently easy if you study. Not much homework as well. However the lectures can be very boring at times, I found it hard to stay focused when a class was mainly focused on the material. Amazing professor nonetheless.

Some tricky questions, 4 tests at 15% each with a notecard, weekly assignments. Nice guy, lectures can be dull. Must attend at least 60% of classes where attendance is taken, and attendance checks are random, so go to class, and most info on tests come from what he says, so it's helpful to go. All around chill guy.

Professor Eliason is a super laid back dude, his lectures are a bit dry but the content is really easy. He gives you study guides for each tests, outlining the chapters and what you have to know. He gave extra credit at the end of the year which raised my C+ to a B-. He makes management a chill class on the side, so you can focus on the others.

Very laid back professor but gives dry lectures. He gives note sheets to fill out during class, but test material was more than just on note sheet. He had 4 tests, all non cumulative. He was not super helpful during our COB300 project tho, gave very little feedback.

Professor Eliason was such a sweet guy, however, I felt lost throughout his lectures. It felt like his tests didn't match up with his exams which was rough. This class is very doable but it's annoying. Eliason is 100% better than the other professors.

Management is the easiest of the classes for COB300, but Eliason's class is still pretty chill. Free textbook that isn't required material for exams, classes get let out early usually, and cheat sheets for all the exams. He also plays videos for like a fourth of the class too. Lectures can be boring, but overall, pretty un-strenuous.

Eliason is a little odd at first but once you get used to him you'll love him. Easiest class in 300 as long as you take notes on what he says and the slides. Tests can be a little difficult if you didn't listen to him in class but he purposefully makes them semi-easy so that students do well.

Bob's class can be hit or miss, but he's a cool guy. Lectures can be dry, but the tests are fair if you stay engaged and use resources like ChatGPT and unstuck AI for study prep.

Prof. Eliason is truly a nice man, respectful, occasionally funny, and cares about the content and the students in the class. The lectures are incredibly dry but I feel this is due to the content itself, he tries his best to make it a little more engaging but there's not a lot he can do. Would reccomend.

His lectures can be boring but I found his class to be easy and he has extra credit opportunities.

A lot of people did not like him because he often talks about stuff that seems like it does not relate to the class but it was more interesting than the other 300 classes so I liked him. Exams are not easy but not super hard. His classes can be boring but I feel like he understands that his class does not need to be super hard and work heavy.
