Bruce is very knowledgeable in all areas programming. He is very helpful and gives incredible feedback and he has a sense of humor. This class moves really fast, but as long as you listen, show up to class, and get your work done, the class isn't bad. I would recommend Bruce to anyone. Thanks for a great quarter, I learned a lot!
As a 2nd year student I have had a lot of instructors, Bruce is a Gem!! He is the most helpfull, respectable man, knowledged and humor to boot. At home stuck on some code, just email Bruce and you'll be back on track in a jiffy. I swear the guy is hovering his email cause he answers quickly. Take his class, especially if your a noob like I was!!
Didn't know anything about html & he made it easy to learn. He's knowledged, very clear & helpful. He's got New York charm & keeps class entertained without it taking away from your learning experience. Email him for help. turn in your web page & its still a lil wonky he will allow you to fix it. He wants you to succeed and that's a great thing.
Bruce is an excellent teacher. He understands the material and is committed to helping students learn what he presents. His sense of humor, subject knowledge, proven success in the technology field, and compassion for people comes through in creating an exceptional experience in the classroom. I highly recommend him.
Bruce is an awesome teacher! If you need help he will help you, more than he probably has to. If you are to take a class an Bruce is an option for teachers pick him!
I have heard others descride Bruce as genuine. That is a very good adjective to describe him. It is obvious that he cares about his students and their comprehension of the material. He was always availible, always. As knowledgeable and accomplished as he is there are no barriers between him and his students. I always looked forward to class.
This instructor is highly recommended! He was very helpful and went above the expectation for his students to achieve the goal. Bruce made the class a joy to be in and left me wanting to learn more. He treats everyone with respect and is very well liked by his students. I will be looking to take some of his other classes. Bruce is a Rock Star!
Phenomenal class taught by a phenomenal teacher. CTEC 122 is one of the most beneficial classes I have taken in my college career, and would whole-heartedly endorse Bruce Elgort to anyone considering a career requiring the knowledge of web coding.
Excellent professor, very actively engaged in making sure you learn the required material, even outside of class (via email) if need be. He kept it interesting and fun (ask him about bridges) while still fulfilling your educational needs. Overall I'd definitely recommend this professor to anyone looking to take classes that he teaches.
Bruce is a great teacher with a lot of knowledge. He does as much as he can to help the students when they're struggling, and made programming actually fun. He's the best programming teacher I've had at Clark and I recommend him to anyone.
Easy teachers are not good teachers. Really hard teachers are not good teachers either. Bruce is an easy teacher in the sense that if you come to class and pay attention you won't be lost. He's hard in the fact that he pushes those who need to be pushed to excel. Teachers like Bruce are very rare and it has been a pleasure. See you in ctec227.
Bruce is the funniest professor I know of and by far the most helpful one at Clark.
Bruce is one of the most helpful and nicest teachers I had at Clark. His sense of humor makes the class very fun and a pleasure to attend.
Bruce stands out from almost every professor I've ever head because he is always available to help with concepts you aren't understanding or homework you are having issues with. Like an above poster said, he seems like he is always signed in in his email haha. Love the class, learned a lot. I hope I can take another class from this guy. Rock on man
Bruce is very knowledgeable and funny. I am fairly new to programming but I was able to learn everything in this class pretty easily. The class moves at a good pace and Bruce does a great job of explaining concepts and going over examples. I would definitely recommend him.
I didn't know anything about PHP before I took this class but I was able to get through it without any trouble. Bruce does a great job of explaining concepts and he is always willing to answer questions and help students that are struggling. Also, his assignments/projects have real world applications, which I think is great.
Bruce was so amazing. He made a course that was overwhelming into an understandable and enjoyable experience. Choose him if you can! You won't regret it.
Bruce is a fantastic teacher! For a longer class, it went by quickly and I looked forward to it each week. His passion for computer programming not only made the course engaging but fun to learn. He genuinely cares about his students, and pushed us to be our best. If we ever needed help, Bruce was just a click away on social media!
Bruce is a very helpful instructor. I was lost the first few weeks this past quarter and he was there to assist anytime and I mean anytime. I went to his weekend class to get a better grasp and used that time wisely. He cares about the students succeeding. So, if you want to gain the knowledge and put in the effort, you should have no problems.
Bruce got me much more interested in programming than I was at the beginning of the class. The assignments were perfect for an introductory class, and Bruce was consistently there for those who struggled with the material. I hope I have Mr. Elgort as an instructor in future classes.
Instructor was easy to get to get in contact with and very helpful. Even willing to take a considerable amount of his own personal time to help students when necessary.
Written instructions were often difficult to understand. Class was like a family though and professor was very helpful in person, though sometimes awkward because of his need to put his face right up to the screen to see the code we were writing. But overall an awesome guy. He brought donuts to class a few times.
Bruce is a fantastic teacher. He injects a lot of personality into the class, and makes learning very enjoyable. He's also kind and carefully attends to everyone in the class. I highly recommend him.
CTEC227 (advanced php) is fantastic! Have learned more in the first two weeks then most classes in a whole quarter. Bruce is defiantly one of the best programming teachers I've ever had. Makes learning new code simplistic and fun
Bruce is an awesome teacher, engages students in what he's teaching on a given day. He posts slides uses in class on moodle, in case you missed something while taking notes. He's also funnny. :)
Bruce has been a great teacher. He will always take his time to help any student, even on weekends, and injects a lot of fun and humor into his classrooms. He brings food to class (I know how much everyone cares about that.) I am taking another of his classes in the Fall, and I will be glad to have him as a teacher again.
Great class and excellent teacher. Bruce is very helpful to everyone and explains everything really well. One of the best teachers that I've had at Clark and I would highly recommend him.
The best teacher I had. Very awesome guy. The classes were fun to attend. I would recommend taking a class with Bruce and would take some myself as well.
Bruce is an amazing teacher. He is funny and goes out of the way to help his students. He always picked on me in class but I was a good sport about it. He brought pizza to class one day. Beware of his pink shirt. You know somethings wrong when he is wearing that shirt. Overall I would take another class with him.
Bruce is a real teacher he cares about his students and knows just how to bring everyone together in a class and make everyone feel comfortable and he knows good food :)
Bruce is an awesome teacher who really cares about his students. He responds to your emails within seconds, and that is not an exaggeration. He brought us pizza one day just because, and it was good pizza, except he would never admit it because he is kind of a food snob. I highly recommend this class.
Bruce was very helpful to everyone regardless of your level of knowledge.
Bruce is one of the most helpful teachers I have had! He is very quick at responding to emails and he was also willing to do an online meeting just to help me with some problems I had with my code. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher!
very help full teacher not dry at all as long as read every thing its easy if you dont understand then just ask and dont add extra stuff that he didnt ask for 1.do it 2. do it fast 3 keep your mouth shut
He helps out a lot and really makes sure his students know how to do what they need to do.
Best professor I've had a Clark! Bruce is amazing, and makes a tough subject very easy to understand. I would never have gotten through the class without such a great teacher. I wish their was more classes I needed that he taught. Take his class even if you don't need it, it would make a great elective.
AWESOMENESS!!!!!!
Bruce is great instructor. Give guidelines for an assignment, helps you if you can't resolve specific problem, he will help you. In this class I learned about RSS, classes,cookies, sessions, MySQL, php myadmin panel, setting up wordpress through the command line,and built custom Content Management System in PHP for final project.
Good Teacher!!!!!!!!!
Bruce is an amazing teacher. He is one of, if not the BEST instructors I've ever had and Clark is lucky to have him! He is funny and goes out of the way to help his students understand and is always available for assistance. Overall I would take another class with him any time. Why can't more teachers be like Bruce? Bruce, you ROCK!
Without a doubt the best prof I've had at Clark, and very likely the best prof I will ever have. It's not a class, it's a family. He isn't an instructor, he's a mentor. He makes the lectures impossible to ignore - he's a stand up comedian in a classroom, I swear. We need more professors like Bruce in the world. P.S. Spruce Bruce for the win!
If you need to know more and to have good grades, effective help and clarity of the course Choose Bruce. He is so helpfully, kind, and treats you as a student and freind
I took several online college in Clark college, and this is my first online class with Bruce and it was fantastic. Bruce use every media outlet to help you. He is the most great teacher and instructor in Clark college
350 characters can't start to describe how amazing this man is. No matter what it takes this man will make sure you get the help you need and understand the material, even if he had to loan out his own books. He will Skype, Facebook, text and anything that can help you connect to him. I now want to be a programmer as a profession, thank you Bruce!!
Great teacher. Very descriptive about the subject and teaches at a pace that everyone can follow. I highly recommend andy class Bruce teaches.
Bruce is genuine, funny, and approachable. I can easily say he is the BEST instructor I have had at Clark College to date. I had no prior programming experience and he made the subject interesting and told me I was good at it! Always willing to help when you need it, be it on Skype, Canvas, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. THANKS BRUCE!! :)
Having a large bit of experience in HTML before hand, I did not expect to learn a lot from this class. Boy was I wrong. Bruce nailed his lectures, quizzes, and homework, and I learned a lot from them. I recommend Bruce for any class you are taking.
This class was difficult because programming is an uphill battle for me. However Bruce is a fantastic teacher and ALWAYS willing to help and encourage. He's on social media and is frequently checking his e mail and will get back to you very quick. His enthusiasm is infectious, he loves programming and he loves teaching, that makes him great teacher
In this class we got right into html and the hands on approach was fantastic. Bruce was very willing to answer questions. He also made jokes and had fun teaching, making everyday day in class fun and interesting. He sincerely cares about his students and it's so nice to have that encouragement. He also brought pizza twice and that was a bonus
What a great Instructor! Patient with a great sense of humor. Easy to learn from and hugely helpful.I will take any class I can from him!
Bruce is more than an instructor, he is a role model, and a mentor. Never met a more personable, fair, and encouraging instructor in my time at Clark. He is great person to have in your network. Beyond that, he is humble and understanding, if you are stuggling with a concept, he will go out of his way to make sure you understand.
Best class I've ever taken at Clark! Bruce is an amazing instructor and he really cares! Thanks, Bruce!
Bruce is amazing! I have taken a handful of classes with him and he never fails to impress. He knows what he is teaching inside and out. He wants his students to succeed, and helps them if they are struggling. He is socially active (FB, Skype, text, phone) and is available 18-19 hours a day. He is on top of his grading, and gives great feedback.
Bruce is a great teacher who goes out of his way to help students learn the material.
Bruce is an amazing teacher who makes sure that you are enjoying learning. I have never had a better teacher. He is *always* available to help (he gives out his phone number, Facebook, e-mail, twitter, etc...), and he makes sure that anyone who is willing to try will succeed. Prepare to learn and have fun while you are doing so.
I adore all of Bruce's classes - he's so helpful and personable. He works so well with the students, encouraging the brilliant students to try harder while working patiently with the ones who aren't as receptive. The only thing that upsets me about his classes is that I'll miss them now that I have no more of his to take!
I have taken a couple of his classes and I’m going to miss him! Bruce is one of those rare teachers that every student hopes for in college. He’s funny, kind, supportive, personable, helpful and knowledgeable. Class went by quickly because he made learning fun. He genuinely wants his students to succeed which I find inspiring. If you can, sign up!
Bruce is one of the most helpful and effective teachers I have encountered in my time at Clark. He has completely changed my view of programming and because of his teaching I now look at all sorts of things in a different light and have a whole new appreciation for the tech toys in the world.
I have completed 3 courses with Bruce Elgort instructing, and I agree with the other students that he is always quick to help, encouraging, meets people at their skill level, etc. Here's what Bruce taught me: program every day, never stop learning because there will always be a new "thing," and be engaged in the world around me.
I enjoyed going to class everyday. Bruce made the class fun and exciting. I am taking his Intro to Programming class next quarter and really look forward to it. I did not use the textbook much, mostly because I just google things. But it was useful the few times I did need it.
Bruce always inspires you to push the limits of what you can do in his class. He is encouraging, helpful, and understanding. He knows the abilities of all his students, pushes the advanced ones and patiently works with the beginners. I feel he is on of those rare people who makes the lives of everyone around him better for being in it.
Bruce is a great teacher, makes sure that the students actually learn the material and does his best to help you out.
Bruce is by far the best instructors I have had. Yes the classes he teaches are challenging due to subject matter but he does what ever he can to help. This quarter he was at a family event in Denver and when I needed his help rather than wait until he returned he just sent text back and forth with me for an hour to help me and answer my questions.
Great teacher with great knowledge, I wish he taught all my classes.
Bruce is a great teacher. He is more concerned about his students learning than just trying to trip them up on test. He is available practically 24/7. I e-mailed once at 2:00am and had a reply in 5 minutes. I wish he taught more of my classes
Very nice teacher and class! I would definitely recommend it to friends!
Bruce is really nice..One of the best teacher i have, he seriously don't get mad, all he want for you is that he sees you working hard on your projects. and the other awesome thing is that he brings food in class... :)
Bruce is literally my favorite teacher at clark. He is great at demystifying difficult subjects, and keeping the tone of the class playful. He, is always available to help students with troubleshooting projects. I would recommend anyone in the CTEC program or on the fence about joining, to take one of Bruce's classes.
Great Teacher. DONUTS Fer days!!
Bruce is my favorite teacher at Clark. He is funny, and he makes sure to pay attention to each student. He teaches a handful of classes, so choose him when you can! Always jokes around, but is really good at what he does and will drop everything to help you. even at 3 am on Twitter. Even on final projects. Beware: Will make you feel like family.
"The legends say he never sleeps..." You can't hide in Bruce's class: he gets to know you, and what you need to succeed. I have never met a more attentive teacher, he is almost always available to help any student. Never have I felt such a sense of community , or had so much fun in a classroom. The world needs more teachers like Bruce Elgort.
Bruce is a very helpful teacher who is more than willing to work with his students. He also makes himself available when needed.
Bruce was a great teacher. His knowledge about on the subject was great and he made it interesting. Bruce s more concerned about the students learning rather than their grades.
I love this class it was may favorite. Mr Elgort goes above and beyond helping his student. Making sure that they understand what he is teaching. Mr Elgort demonstrated his ability to reach advanced students as well as beginners like me. I can wait until i take his next class.
What a great teacher He explains everything very well and goes beyond to help you understand what you are not getting. He makes you feel very at home in the class and makes sure that its a good environment even for shy people who don't usually ask questions. He makes a very nice learning environment where failing is okay because your still learning
Awesome teacher, I enjoyed the class a lot. Bruce is a great teacher and seems to love teaching, he always makes sure that the students understand the content.
Great teacher, instructor and just overall person. Bruce really actually cares about you as a student and breaks that breaks the 'awkward' barrier. Always willing to help, as he is literally connected via email, twitter, fb, skype etc 24/7! Buy the book(s) and go to his class, because he wants to see you succeed. (And he loves Led Zeppelin!)
Bruce is by far one of my favorite professors here at Clark. I really enjoyed his class! He does care about his students and always there to help.
Bruce is the best instructor that I have had at Clark. You get out what you put in. If you work hard, you will get a good grade. All homework, tests, etc. are on canvas with very clear instructions. He genuinely cares about students learning and goes out of his way to make sure you understand the material. Excellent person and teacher!
Bruce is hilarious, really willing to help those who need it. He makes the class fun even for us guys who are really advanced. He also lets everyone help each other which is really awesome.
Bruce is always prepared for lectures and responds well to students. He truly cares about each individual and does whatever he can to help them successfully navigate the class objectives. His proven success in the software development world and his sense of humor and compassion shine as an added bonus behind this master teacher.
Bruce is the person who got me most excited about web programming. He's very passionate, and goes way out of his way to make sure he is available for students to help with class work - or to help students that want to study more then the class offers. Very fun class working with PHP and SQL to create a complex data collecting and comparing web app.
Bruce continues to impress with his teaching style, and his ability to engage every student. He really pushed us and gave us some real world experience this quarter, while keeping everyone entertained at the same time. No other teacher will go out of their way so much to help their students. Very highly recommended.
Bruce is an excellent teacher who goes out of his way to help all of his students learn and succeed. He has extensive experience to share, and an amazing ability to catch coding errors (darn those missing ; anyway). I recommend Bruce's classes - all of them since I have taken all of them now and have never been disappointed.
Would recommend to ANYONE. Really, really, good.
Great teacher! Although deadlines are taken seriously, he is more interested in you learning the material. Great New York sense of humor. He is a highly recommended professor in any of the courses that he teaches.
During my first semester at Clark I met Bruce in my CTEC 122 class (Html Fundamentals) He made every class very clear on what we were doing, how we were doing it and took the time to go around 1 on 1 with each and every student he is there for his students success there is no other way to put it. He is a rare breed of a teacher for sure. A+ guy
Always available to help his students
I have taken Bruce for both CTEC 121 Intro to Programming and CTEC 122 HTML, in both of these classes Bruce has been more than fair in his grading. While Intro to Programming is much harder, Bruce is always there and available anytime to answer your questions. He is a fun instructor who shows great examples to his students.
Intro to programming one of the most difficult classes ever but Bruce is always there for you. I took advantage of twice weekly STEM tutoring so as to not take advantage of his generosity. His temperament, compassion and industry expertise ranks him my vote for teacher of the year!
I would say with out a doubt that Bruce has been the best Teacher that I have taken at Clark. Assignments are fairly easy, and if you need help you will find it. He brings food quite often so you wont go hungry in his classes. Easy to get along with great guy and awesome teacher.
I have taken more than one class with Bruce and I am always excited to learn from him! The best thing about him is that he sees the potential that you may not. Very helpful and willing to go the extra 10 miles to help you get it. He helped me when the chips were down. I love this guy!
This was my first class that I have taken with Bruce Elgort. Words can't describe how great of a teacher Bruce is. What ever your learning style is, Bruce has your learning style covered. Bruce definitely pushes you to believe in yourself. Most important he is always there for you. Just remember.... Please Hold!
When I first started this class I was really worried I would not do well because of all the memorization. Thank to Bruce though it turned out to be a great class and I did well! He has awesome videos that are less than 10 minutes and the best part is for big projects (Finals) if you miss something he tells you what it is and lets you fix it! MereH
Bruce is an amazing teacher, I have had him for 3 classes and will have him for several more. I would recommend his classes in a heart beat, and I actually do! He is great at getting to know each of the students and always takes the extra time to help anyone who asks. JavaScript class had a few projects and a few quizzes.
JavaScript with Bruce was super fun. It was tough for him with such a huge gap in skill-sets for the students, but he made it work and it was a great class that moved at a good pace.
Bruce has got to be one of my favorite instructors at Clark this far. He is not only a great guy but an awesome teacher. If you are unsure of your future, he is great to talk to for some guidance. If you have the chance to take Bruce I would suggest him over anyone.
Bruce is a great teacher to have. I have had him for all of my coding classes and this was my last coding class with him. He is hilarious, likes to joke around and gets down to business when its time. Most of the time he will sing song lyrics to you and diss burns, and says please hold. He goes out of his way to help students & is a great teacher
I look forward to coming to class. Bruce makes the process of learning code "fun" and he makes himself available if we need extra help.
Clearly explains difficult concept in programming. Quizzes are all online and taken at home, but you do need to study for them. Assignments can be challenging, but he is there to help and even allows for corrections if you show you are truly trying. Excellent instructor.
This class was way harder than I expected & extremely challenging for me & Bruce made me feel really comfortable and confident & always guided me thru difficulties so that I could come to the answer on my own. He is always available for students, fun & a really fabulous instructor. I highly recommend him & would gladly take any of his classes.
This was a tough class. If it wasn't for Bruce I wouldn't have done very well. Bruce has a way of getting through to students. He is one of the BEST teachers I have had. He is fun and it is important to him that you learn from his class. He is available to each and every student that needs him, even on his off time. I highly recommend him!
This was a tough class. if it wasn't for Bruce I wouldn't have done very well. He was very patient with me and it was clear he cared about his students. Bruce was available to each of his us, even in his off time. He has a gift when it comes to teaching. One of the BEST instructors I have had yet. I highly recommend him
He is very encouraging and a great teacher! Wish more teacher were like him! He really wants you to learn and pass! He will answer questions for you day and night with a smile! His life is his students successes!
Bruce is caring and easy to relate with. Honestly, Clark is lucky to have him. His real world work experience, backed by a stunning amount of knowledge to share, has made him a favorite teacher who can still challenge me every day. If you're taking his class, be a good student and look forward to learning. Bruce makes the class worthwhile.
I have had a couple classes with Bruce. He continues to bring fresh content and lab work that illuminates the subject quite well. His knowledge of all things programming is really evident. Come ready to work and learn. What you put in is what you get out of it.
Bruce is a great teacher and he made learning Python fun and interesting. He's there 110% for his students, he even takes time out of his weekend to offer assistance. I definitely recommend taking this class from him. It's not an easy class, you need to attend, pay attention, turn in all of your homework, and practice on your own.
Considered changing my academic direction after taking his class. Probably won't because Im so heavily invested in my current program. Wish he taught more classes that could be applied to completing my program requirements. He really cares and gives his students every chance to succeed. Bruce would be a great role model for other instructors.
Bruce Elgort has an engaging personality and teaching style. He is extremely proficient in the subject matter. I would definitely take another course from himhe is very enthusiastic, cares about students progress, and is always willing to further explain any concepts when questions arise.
Delivers material in a funny, engaging way. I would definitely take another course from him!
This class is no joke but I learned a ton. Full fledged app development is both fun and rewarding but expect to put in many hours at home.
This course was very engaging, especially since it was about JavaScript and jQuery. Bruce makes it clear how you can use JavaScript and makes the language less intimidating to use and, ultimately, master. I highly recommend taking this class with Bruce, since he is an engaging and personable professor.
This is one of the toughest courses I've ever taken. Developing a web application based on PHP and SQL as a group project is tricky, especially when the application was being developed within 8 to 10 weeks. However, having said this, this course is very rewarding and you will leave as a capable person with the experience you will gain.
Bruce is a wonderful teacher who has the rare talent to be able to get his students to achieve more than they thought they could. He seems to make himself available for help at almost any reasonable hour and uses many different avenues for the help he gives.
Bruce Elgort is a great teacher. He tries to develop the talents of each of his students. He will take time out of his schedule to assist any student who is showing that they are truly trying to succeed.
Bruce was a really fun professor! He made the material fun to learn about and he was always there to help the students at the drop of a hat, and he was very easy to talk to. And the food he brought to class was definitely a plus!
I first took a HTML class with Bruce in the fall and loved his teaching style. He was in-fact so good, that I decided to take Bruce again for Intro to Programing. Bruce has a unique teaching style that is only found in the best instructors. He will help you with the material, try to be your friend, and I believe he genuinely cares about students.
Bruce is an accomplished professional and a respected educator among his peers. He always tries to go the extra mile for his students, and he clearly cares about his students and wants to do everything he can to help them succeed. I recommend his classes because he explains things well and he adds some fun to the lectures with his personality.
Bruce is an accomplished professional and a respected educator among his peers.

I recommend this class to learn basic JavaScript and he adds some fun to the lectures with his personality.
Was always willing to help me when I got stuck somewhere. Always understanding of late work because of work issues and life. 1010 would take again
I honestly didn't know much about coding but he was always willing to help even if the question was dumb or really easy he was super helpful. And as far a classes online he was very quick at getting back to you. I would recommend taking him. And everything is online which is awesome.
I didn't require a great deal of additional help, but when I did Bruce gave succinct genuinely helpful answers in an effort to move me along to my next task.
I want to tell you about a man, neigh, a God among men. This Man-God will help, if you ask, he will sooth your sorrows and will raise thy confidence. You want to learn about CSS mark up in CTEC 122? Then this is the Man-God you seek, take heed: Do not abuse his kindness . Instructors as thine is hard to come by.
The tests are fair. It's more important to be accurate in your coding than timely. I think it would have better for me to have had it in person, but that's a personal learning style; when I met with him in person, he was very helpful. He was very responsive online.
Bruce Elgort is very organized, easy to understand, available for help,& definitely cares about his students. He goes the extra mile to provide guidance and help when you need it.
Each week Bruce Elgort brought in speakers to conduct presentations. He went all out to find interesting people that could speak on a variety of subjects related to "Business Web Practices". I am usually fighting off sleep when forced to endure presentations, but these were often fun and always very interesting to listen to.
Bruce is easily the best teacher I've had! He is very helpful and supportive! He is always there to help.. Literally any time! He's is funny and makes class enjoyable!
Bruce extremely helpful! He is very smart and knows the subject in and out! He's always available for help! He is very funny and makes class very enjoyable!
A very enjoyable professor. I had him and he made everything interesting in his own way. Quizzes and homework almost every week, but if you go to class and do some reading it will be a breeze. If you need help is almost always online and ready to help you with whatever roadblocks you run into. I'm definitely looking forward to taking him again.
Bruce is probably one of the best professors I've ever had. He's extremely knowledgeable in his field and he is always excited to teach you more, if you just ask about it. He has a great talent for teaching to the average student, but also giving unique challenges to the student who is ready for something a bit more complicated.
Bruce is an amazing instructor, He makes himself available 27/7 for help, His classes are hard, but its programming, and programming is hard. Bruce make class fun and he teaches useful techniques that can be applied to many programming languages.
Awesome teacher and a great class, I really learned a lot. I never felt like I couldn't ask questions, and he joked with the class a lot to make it a really comfortable environment to learn in. There is a lot of homework, but it was fun to do, and he was always available to answer questions. An all around fantastic class.
Bruce is an incredible teacher who cares about each of his students, and has a clear passion for what he does. He doesn't go easy on you, but if you're struggling he'll go out of his way to help you in a way few professors will. Additionally, he knows his craft well, gives amazing lectures and talks, and is just an all around great guy.
Bruce took time to reach out to his students. He made sure to use slack as a great tool to come into our everyday lives and make stuff happen. Taking the time through out his day at almost any hour to assist us with our needs. He is the type of teacher that deserve the accolades of making awesome future adults!!
Good feedback, great videos, and well laid out tutorials.
I was really intimidated by taking this class but Bruce really turned it around and made it easy to understand. He uses a system called Slack that allows immediate response question and answers. Its completely vital for online course. Instructional video tutorials that are great as well. One of the best instructors I have had!
He's available basically 24/7, and always helps you fix your assignments until they're correct!
This class was super interesting! You learn all of the basics for making a web page, there are great tutorials, and the instructor is almost always available for questions (not to mention super helpful).
It was a great class and a great way to learn HTML, it's only hard because the subject is extremely difficult to understand, and time consuming
This Guy... I love this guy.
Professor Elgort was very helpful and was always available to help answer questions. A this was an online course, accessibility was important. His tutorial videos were great and easy to follow along. I highly recommend this professor.
When I had questions about the assignments, the teacher didn't answer them. Instead he pointed me to the assignment sheets, which I had already read but needed clarification on. When I turned in assignments with mistakes, he would get really offensive toward me about how I could make such a stupid mistake, and say it to the whole class.
You know that teacher from grade school or high school that you still remember because they were just awesome? Well, this guy is one of those. He makes the class environment seem more friendly with his witty remarks and anecdotes. He will do everything he can to help you get any issues figured out. He genuinely cares about your progress. Great guy!
Easy to get a good grade. talk with him about your homework and you can get an A
I have had Bruce now for 6 classes now at Clark College. Bruce is always there for you. One of Bruce's best teaching qualities and the reason I can refer to Bruce as a mentor of mine, is that he will give you the good, the bad and the ugly. Thank you for everything and I am sure this is just the beginning of knowing you sir.
Bruce demonstrates great knowledge and enthusiasm in the subject of programming. His class is fun, great to learn from, and interesting. Bruce also does his best to help his students and give good feedback on work that is given to him. All in all great teacher, I hope to take another class from him in the future.
Very helpful and easy to understand. As long as you take it seriously, you'll easily learn a ton of information and programming techniques. He's very friendly and makes direct connection with every single student. Totally recommended to take classes with him.
Innovative use of teaching tools, like group online quizzes. Seeks feedback from all students to insure they understand concepts. Provides useful models and examples to aid learning. Bruce has the knowledge to give in depth answers. Is available via slack, social medial, phone, text etc for help with problems. Really fun classes. Would take again
Bruce is a good teacher overall. I enjoy the times I have spent with Bruce over the span multiple classes. He is always there to talk and listen, even in times of craziness. PHP with MYSQL I is a tough class. Some people really did amazing things. PHP just wasn't for me.
Best instructor I have ever had. Patient and available for questions. A great resource in and out of class.
Professor Elgort is one of the most generous Professor I've had in the second time back to college. Most Professors use the first day to go through the syllabus to explain their office hours; not Professor Elgort, he is available on "SLACK" 24 x 7 for his students who need assistance. No better Professor out there.
Bruce is an awesome teacher. He uses social media (Slack) to be available for students almost 24/7. Bruce is probably the best teacher I have had from being in and out of school for the past 30 years. I will not hesitate to sign up another class that he teaches in the near future.
Great instruction, feedback, and support. Lots of work!!! Don't take during the summer because its too short a period. I don't regret taking this class. You learn a lot!
He is truly the best instructor you'll ever have. He has such a passion for coding & was ALWAYS available for any questions. I took his HTML class this summer & we had weeks w/double the work but he was there with us every step of the way & offered to make any video tutorials we needed to help us succeed. I can't wait to take another class with him
I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm grateful to have had Bruce as my instructor for HTML! He is an amazing teacher, and was always available to help me through issues (which was often!). I learned so much from him, and he encourages students to go above and beyond. He genuinely cares about his students and it shows. He is the best!
Bruce is a really great teacher. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and how they do in the class. The work was challenging but he contacting him for homework help was easy and always encouraged by him. 10/10 would recommend!!
One of the best Professors I have ever had in 61 years. Dedicated, humorous, intelligent and real. Don't find many like him. Great guy...
Prior to taking classes from Bruce, I had no experience in programming whatsoever. I have gained quite a bit of knowledge and experience in Python, HTML, and CSS from this professor. I plan on taking JavaScript from him later.
I took ctec 122 online class with Bruce. I came into this class knowing very little about html. But it wasn't hard to understand, and very easy to follow. As long as you follow the tutorials and readings, it'll be an easy class
Great class, great professor. Cant go wrong here! Don't be lazy, do the course work!
Bruce is a great teacher who really cares about his students' performance. He did as much as he could for students in the class that were struggling but ultimately you have to decide to make the effort. Fair grades, hands-on work, and helpful feedback. The class is not easy but it is worth the effort.
Bruce gives very specific and detailed feedback, and explains exactly how you should fix a problem too. The most important thing though, is that no matter what you need to read EVERYTHING on canvas. Every single module. Crucial and very specific details are there, even if you know the material. Your learning relies heavily on reading everything.
Learning to program is hard so for some. Bruce will do all he can to help you learn and succeed. You need to ask questions and participate. It's a lot of work as he's trying to teach you as much as he can given the schedule so It moves very fast. Budget a lot of time for this course. Discussions are animated and informal. You will be challenged!
Since participation is part of your grade, show up to class. As far as class material goes, read the chapter out of the textbook that's covered in class that week. In class there will demonstrations of all topics and more in depth explanations. If you have any questions about concepts, ask. Bruce will always provide an answer. He's cool like that.
Bruce is such a down to earth guy, he shows so much passion for programing and is available to help you anytime. (I have messaged him at 10pm one night and he shot a response right back and when i still didnt get it he called me and worked me throught it). BY FAR THE MOST AWESOME PROFESSOR AT CLARK!!!!!
Amazing professor, I was interested in coding before taking this class and now I am hooked, Bruce has inspired me to work towards a CS degree and I plan on eventually going into a career for development or coding of some kind.
Awesome guy, awesome instructor. The use of videos and Slack made it feel like we were always in class (in a good way). I never felt like I was "out on my own" with anything. If I had any questions, he was just a message away and would get back to me in a reasonably quick time frame. Tough but fair, made us work for it but helped when we needed it.
He likes to teach almost as much as he likes to have you learn. He is patient and will go the extra mile to help you out if you have difficulty with the coding. To help you, you have to communicate, participate in the class and ask questions. He doesn't teach easy subjects. Coding his hard for most of us but he'll do his best to help you learn.
CTEC112 was a lot of fun. Bruce does a good job of explaining basic programming concepts, especially how functions and loops work. I think this class is a great starting point for people who want to learn about programming but might be scared of math. The use of slack and ability to review code after class was really helpful for assignments.
Thankful to know Bruce! He's a really smart guy and very helpful. If he hadn't encouraged me to stick it out I would have withdrawn from the class.
If God lived in an instructor, it would be Bruce. If you need help programming, Bruce is available face to face and on Slack (website chat.) I had to earn my A, but Bruce made the class less of a burden.
Great teacher, gives you so many resources to figure out things on your own, but is available almost anytime via internet chat to help.
Bruce is by far the best programming instructor. Programming is easy, problem solving is tough. Take his class you won't regret it.
Wonderful teacher.
I really enjoyed working with Bruce. He was more than fair, and his instruction style is upbeat.
Loved taking Bruce's class. Even though it was online only, Bruce went above and beyond to make himself accessible whether it was in person or online.
Bruce is an amazing professor. The reading he chose is very simple and easy to understand. Along with the reading he makes his own YouTube videos on each subject from the book to help. He's THE most helpful professor I've ever had.
the home work will test your knowledge on the information of the class
Overall, relied heavily on videos for learning. At times his answers to questions were vague, occasionally were accompanied by condescending remarks. Got to the point that I would rather go through forums for 3+ hours instead of ask a question of him. He was very quick to respond though when I did ask questions. Exceptionally personable.
Taken for Computer Programming. Awesome teacher, incredibly helpful and accessible. Good knowledge and feedback, and the textbook was affordable. You learn a lot in this class and it is very fun. I really don't have any complaints about the class or Bruce's teaching , 10/10 all the way.
I came in to this class with no background in programming, and Bruce went above and beyond to not just answer all my questions, but to do so in a way in which I still was learning (rather than just spoon feeding me). He was prompt with online responses, even on weekends, and made office time available as much as possible. Amazing professor.
Video lessons were great ! Also quick response on the questions in Slack, notifications about a deadline for quizes and assignments, a lot of helpful links.
I loved this class! Bruce is an amazing instructor and he has you complete each assignment in it's entirety before you can move on. This means that you can go back and perfect your assignment and turn it back in. This prevents you from getting bad grades on everything and helps you really learn what you are doing. 10/10 would recommend.
Bruce's class was no cake walk, but I learned a ton, and came away with legit skills that I can build on and use. The class was a lot of work, but no one works harder than Bruce himself. He is available pretty much 24x7 and is willing to put in as much as his students. Bruce's industry experience is a big plus. He's a pro and knows the real world.
Great teacher. Do the work, ask questions and gg.
Bruce taught me that I really enjoy coding. He was easily accessible at all times through Slack, and always willing to answer questions outside of class hours. I can't wait to take him again!
In all of my 41 years on this planet, I have never come across a more thorough, caring, funny, and overall accessible professor, ever. He is available from around 6 in the morning until around 10 at night, and sometimes LATER! Weekends are just another day for him, so feel free to contact him on weekends too! His level of expertise is unmatched!!
Bruce is one of my favorite teachers at Clark. He makes HTML interesting and is quick to respond to any questions you may have in or outside of class. He makes sure students do the best they can on assignments. Super friendly and funny guy. Just be sure to pay attention and read the assigned readings and who knows, he might bring in pizza!
Bruce is the most accessible instructor I've ever had. We used slack as a communication platform for class, and he was always available and eager to help. He encourages questions, provides additional resources--anything he can do to help the student understand. It's tough class, but it was amazing what I could do by the end. Highly recommended.
Great overview of HTML/CSS fundamentals. Lectures are clear and the book is very good. Bruce makes himself available outside class in every way possible (email, phone, text, slack, in-person tutoring)--very helpful. He expects a lot, but in an encouraging way. Just a great human being.
A lot of work in this class (mostly in form of papers) BUT it's all useful/helpful and worth doing. Bruce collected an amazing group of speakers for this class who helped us appreciate the business of the web and how we might fit into that world. I got a lot more out of this class than I expected.
Good prof
By far, he is the most accessible instructors I have ever had. He knows what he is doing and it shows. Bruce does a fantastic job of combining lectures with real world scenarios to provide a great learning environment. He has a lot to teach and l feel privileged to be able to study under him. Absolutely must take. Good For all skill levels.
One of my most enjoyable class experiences with Bruce. I took his CTEC 121, Intro to Programming and Problem Solving, online. Although we never met in person, I was thoroughly able to feel welcomed and get a sense of his personality with his many quick lecture videos and our online calls. He was always ready to work with me in anything! Great guy.
Excellent teacher. To the point, and genuinely cares about his students. I definitely hope I can take one of his classes again.
Fascinating class. By the end, you can do amazing things w/ PHP and MySQL. Programming is hard to learn and takes effort outside class, but Bruce is VERY accessible and works hard to answer your questions both inside and outside class.
Bruce was easy to follow and provided lots of tools to help. He was available for questions most of the time and gave quick feed back. His grading policies seemed fair, and all in all his class was a wonderful experience
I took CTEC 121 Intro to programming which was very difficult for me online but Bruce is a great professor and makes himself very available to his students for outside of class help. He cares about his students success and puts a lot of time into his online class. I would take a class again but in person.
Bruce is a fair instructor, he's straight up, respectful, and easy to get ahold of if you have questions.
Excellent professor. Provides a lot of material on Canvas to help you learn. Encourages you to ask questions and is very accessible for help throughout the course. I have taken two courses with Bruce and both were enjoyable experiences. Definitely would take more classes with him.
Bruce was great! He was always open to answer questions or meet with me to help me when needed. CTEC 121 online w/ him was pretty easy...I shouldve taken it in class tho as the videos and book didn't make sense to me at times. It wouldve been easier to ask q's too. Book is needed. Medium workload. Big final project: do the work, and u'll b fine.
Bruce really enjoys helping people (to a fault if you are an independent learner), but that makes him really approachable and easy to bring questions to. Also, if you are nervous about coming in with no coding knowledge, DON'T BE! This class is designed for beginners! Little note: Bruce takes cheating very seriously!
Bruce is awesome, his class is very structured and he's always willing to reexplain difficult concepts. He's always available, seriously. He's talkative and friendly, and puts a lot of dedication into what he does. Could not recommend him more for such a difficult class, even with the added difficulty of being an online class.
Participation matters most, as long as you're trying you will pass. The same type of homework every week makes it easy to know what to expect. Makes himself available outside of class & online for students struggling. Understanding and quite the jokester - you'll love the guy.
He always helps and guides students if they are stuck. We had one Saturday when like 5 classmates were asking questions on slack and he helped us until we had everything fixed!!
Bruce is an excellent professor, and really cares about his students. He is very accessible, outside of class and in Slack. If you have any questions or need some assistance, he will answer quickly. You will definitely learn a lot from him. Some of the JavaScript labs were challenging and fun to do! I highly recommend Bruce and this class!
Amazing professor who truly cares about how you do in class!
relevant and fast paced code writing sessions helps improving your code writing skills.
Bruce got me to use semicolons. 10/10 will take class with him again.
Bruce is an overall great teacher and I would recommend taking his class if you really want to learn more about programming. I recommend reading the textbook and practicing at home. If you do that this class will feel pretty easy.
Bruce Elgort is one of my most favorite instructors at Clark. He works with each and every student to make sure everybody is on the same page and nobody is left behind, he is almost always accessible via slack and helps you rather than referencing links / saying what page of the textbook your answer will be in.
Honestly? Bruce is a super cool guy and I thoroughly enjoyed both him and the class. He's passionate about what he does, and he's incredibly good with it. If you struggle in the slightest, all you need to do is communicate with him since he will do whatever it takes to help you succeed. I really lack motivation myself, but still managed an easy B+.
I had taken one class with Bruce, previously, Ctec 112, Programming Essentials. That class is way harder than this one because it teaches you JavaScript *within* HTML--what you learn here. Bruce is a welcome sight, his "you should know this" attitude is definitely appreciated. Makes me want to work harder. He also helps super often, which is great.
Bruce Elgort is an amazing instructor, so happy I had the opportunity and experience to get to know him this quarter. He is readily available, accessible, and passionate about helping us, his students. Thanks Prof!
Great instructor. Well worth taking his class.
Bruce is such a great professor and this class was really a positive experience. He's pretty much always available outside of class to help explain concepts and review code, and he genuinely wants all his students to not only pass the class, but pass with a solid understanding of the concepts. His lectures are always entertaining. Take this class!
Bruce was my favorite teacher thus far at Clark College. His class is electrifying. He is proficient in so many languages (computer languages) and teaches design related classes as well. For the Python class I took with him he pushed me to pass my MTA and I did. His nudge and his energy was the reason I got that certificate.
The BEST teacher I've ever had! I came to class every time knowing I will have fun!
Bruce is one of a kind. Hes hilarious and quick-witted. He makes the classroom atmosphere easy and comfortable and manages to knit each student together into a college family. Hes SUPER accesible and attentive; genuinely cares for you and your success in school and out. Gives many chances as long as youre learning. Gives thorough feedback!
I've taken multiple classes instructed by Bruce and they've been by far my most favorite. His classroom feels like a family and he'll push you every day to be a better programmer. He may seem tough at times but he always has your back and is easy to get a hold of if you run into any questions.
Bruce really cares about students learning what they need to to be successful after school. If you keep up, you will surprise yourself with what you accomplish. You have to keep up because the technical skills needed all build on each other. He is absolutely available outside class to help. Also, hilarious.
This was the first class I ever took that related to Web Development. I was very new to the subject but found this class to be easy to understand, despite the fact that you are basically learning a new language. Whenever I had any questions, I would reach out to Bruce and he would be VERY quick to answer. He's one of the best instructors I've had.
Bruce is a fantastic teacher. He's so supportive and always available to help. I've never had a teacher who was so invested in their students before. I was really nervous about learning Python since this class was so far out of my comfort zone, but Bruce helped me be successful and I would 100% recommend taking a class from him.
Bruce was an amazing teacher, I had a really hard time understanding the material, but he helped me the whole way through the quarter.
Bruce has been one of my favorite teachers here at clark. He really cares about his students, and he will do anything to help them understand the topic. He communicates very fast, even on weekends. He is always open and willing to give feedback. Definitely would recommend.
Bruce Elgort is an amazing teacher. I am constantly inspired by his work as an instructor, his way of teaching helped me retain the information taught, and he has a great way of lecturing. He is easily accessible and will listen to issues we may have. He is high energy and has a great sense of humor which is contagious. A fantastic educator!
Bruce's classes achieve the perfect balance between challenging and fun. His lectures are always engaging and I look forward to his classes every day. You can tell that he's passionate about his work and pushes students to do their best. Definitely recommended!
I need more tags. Bruce is hilarious, he makes it very difficult to not engage in the class. He explains the material very well, and provides good examples. He is almost always available outside of class with Slack. I would say the class is easy, but he regularly gets 100% of his students to pass their certifications. 10/10, one of my favorite prof
By far the best professor I've ever had. Bruce has a natural gift for teaching, and for making otherwise dull or pedantic subjects exciting and interesting. More than that, he has your back. He genuinely cares about his students, and their success, and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is learning and succeeding. Really smart, great guy.
You will learn JavaScript and you will laugh and you will enjoy working hard and accomplishing cool stuff. Bruce will do anything he can to get you over the finish line.
Based on past online courses with other teachers, I was worried that I would not be able to learn the material as well as I would if I were in an on campus environment. The main reason Bruce is so great is that he is so accessible through slack, that the course is never hindered because of the online aspect.
Bruce wants everyone to pass and will always find a way to give a student the extra attention they need. He likes to help people learn by giving them a hint, but not the answers. Lots of practice and assignments to help solidify the new knowledge. Lots of examples to learn from.
Probably the most caring as well as accessible professor I have ever had; which is funny because the class is completely online. Bruce truly wants everyone to pass and does weekly online help sessions to go over any problems or questions. Bruce also gives numerous practice problems to help you get the material down. Take him if you have the chance!
He is a good professor, but can't say a good professor. Part of Quiz is for the next chapter and he won't talk about the staff which will be covered on the quiz. Sometimes it's 50 questions on the quiz, but he said "you have one week to finish it", oh well, so which means you need to finish 10 questions every day. SO ANNOYING
Bruce is the real deal. During the semester, he offered help at all hours of the day, whether before/after class or video meetings from 6am to 10pm all days of the week. If struggling, a quick message via Slack was responded to almost immediately. He really strives to help you understand all course material. He's very lenient and understanding!
I will say I was honored to have had the oppertuinty to have bruce as my professor. I came into this class knowing nothing about programming and began to worry. There were alot of assignments and some I couldn't even think through , but bruce took the time to work through it. My favorite quality about bruce would be he shows everyday that he cares.
Too much coffee.
I have never met a smarter person. He knows his sh!t. He cares about his students & how well they do. He is the most accessible teacher EVER. It's a LOT of work but he is SO accessible. He is friendly, funny, genius, and truly the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of having. If you take a different professor you are truly missing out.
There has never been a class that I wanted to pass more than Bruce's class. He's very passionate about teaching and about what he is teaching. He engages the class to make sure that everyone is getting what he's teaching. There were more than a few times when I was stumped with our reading assignment and Bruce was always available to help me. A+
Bruce is beyond amazing. He is available at almost any hour of the day and has zoom meetings every weekend to catch you up if you missed anything. He also started recording his lectures from class in case a student cant make it because he knows "life happens." Hilarious guy and really wants to see you succeed. I HIGHLY recommend taking his classes!
Ain't taking the class if he is not the professor.
Mr. Bruce's courses have been one of the most enjoying and helpful classes I've ever taken. His teaching style is effective and organized, and while I didn't always understand everything at the first try, I never felt lost. I always looked forward to class! Mr. Bruce sometimes would ask us if today was a fun class, and my answer is always yes.
Bruce is an incredible professor. He's very nice, funny, and very patient. I found myself struggling with the course work because the subject was not coming naturally to me but he worked with me all quarter. I felt like I was such a bother to him but he assured me multiple times that I was not. He genuinely cares about his students.
This guy took a ten week in-person course on Python and taught in 8 weeks online. He still made the material understandable and relateable. He took time to understand me and my style of learning and adapted his tutoring seesions my needs. The video library he created on the material is extensive and easy to follow.
Great teacher, very nice.
Bruce is an absolute angel from heaven. Crazy accessible and helpful. Difficult course, but he had so many resources available that it was completely doable. He responds within minutes during most of the day if you need help and makes videos demonstrating concepts. He also hides "codewords" throughout modules for extra credit. Super funny as well.
Bruce is really caring and overall just a great professor. I took his online class where there were no mandatory Zoom meetings and he still met up with me on Zoom whenever I indicated I needed a bit of clarification or help. He also gives so many opportunities to improve your grade and extra credit. Best professor !
I have had Bruce for many classes as I'm a web dev student and honestly, he makes me not like my other professors by comparison. He is the most caring, most accessible, smartest professor I have ever had. The work is HARD because it's coding, but he works with you until you get it. He WANTS to help, so ask him! He truly WANTS everyone to pass.
I've taken a couple classes with Bruce and he is one of my favorite professors. He encourages participation and keeps things interesting during class. It was unfortunate that this class was during quarantine, but Bruce adapted to it well with our Zoom classes and he was always available to help outside of class as well; he wants students to succeed
I have had two classes so far with Bruce (CTEC 122) and both times I loved it! He puts so much into making his classes as informative and as clear as possible. Overall a great teacher to have for any class.
Bruce is the most accessible instructor I've ever had. He is always available. He explains things using examples that make sense, and if you don't get one, he'll try another. He won't do the work for you, but he'll help you until you've done the work. There's no excuse not to pass a Bruce Elgort class.
Bruce is coo.. Taken about 5-ish different courses from him and would take more, but I'm almost done with college. Do me a "flavor," if you see his name when registering, choose that class.
Took web interface design 1 thinking that it was just another design class with no coding. The class teaches bootstrap which is so handy and easy to use. Bruce was very helpful as usual
Bruce Elgort is a great instructor. His pacing is very good and has a knack for being a very informative and entertaining instructor. Above all, he really cares if you are understanding the topics being taught, and is very accessible; whether it's answering quick questions on Slack or a quick 10 minute video meeting. 100% my favorite teacher.
I've had Bruce for MANY classes. His classes are HARD (as they should be) and I don't think I would have passed if I had any other teacher. He cares, he WANTS you to pass, he's always there, he will always help you, I have had him before quarantine and during, it's a hard transition and he made it work. He gives the best most useful feedback ever
Bruce loves his work, loves his students, loves the subject & wants everyone to succeed. The work is hard work, but he wants you to ask questions & he will always be there to help you. Most accessible teacher I've ever had. Gives amazing & useful feedback. I had him in person & online and he has made it so I wish I didn't have any other teachers
Bruce Elgort is a great instructor. I have taken 3 of his classes and I can say confidently that he really cares about his students. If you want to learn about computer technology, Bruce Elgort's classes are a good choice. He is very knowledgeable, great at teaching and understands current field demands.
Bruce is the kind of professor that really cares if you understand the material. He won't let you slip by. He is very accomplished in his career and has the ability to make difficult concepts easier to understand.
He's a very understanding teacher who does his best to make sure every student understands the most he can. I've taken multiple classes of his and have never regretted even one of them.
Fantastic at helping out with any questions you have, regardless of if they have to do with the specific class you're taking with him or something else. Gives wonderful feedback, and plenty of opportunities to correct poor work.
Professor Elgort does an amazing job at making programming approachable. He makes himself available to help almost any time as well! I would absolutely take another class with him.
Take Bruce and you won't regret! He is always trying to help and is easy to approach. He gives a lot of good feedback and will provide you tools to understand concepts clearly. If you have any questions, he is always willing to help as soon as possible and as much as possible. Definitely one of my favorite Professors ever!
Bruce is an amazing teacher. Provided lots of extra instruction and explanation of material from textbook, as well as extra things outside of it. Very understanding of hardships. Uses modern technology and communications methods making everything much easier than a standard class from an ease of access standpoint. Favorite professor so far!
I have been taking classes at Clark college for three years and Bruce Elgort is BY FAR THE MOST SUPPORTIVE and CARING TEACHER, that I have had the privilege to meet!! Communicate with him, if you need help, or if you are struggling. He is EXTREEY COMPASSIONATE, PERSONABLE and FUNNY :) He will ENCOURAGE and SUPPORT you to the end :)
Bruce Elgort is hands down the best teacher, instructor, professor I have ever learned from. He is very respectful, respectable, professional, understanding, caring, reasonable, light-hearted, funny, clear and concise in his explanations, and extremely humble. He can teach me anything anytime, and look forward to being his student in the future.
I am so glad I took Bruce's class. He is one of the most accessible and kind teachers I've ever had, and gives really thorough feedback, he genuinely wants you to succeed! 10000% would take again.
Bruce is great at explaining things in multiple ways so anyone can get the content he teaches. He's always ready to help and easy to get into contact with. He cares a lot about his students and wants them to learn.
Bruce is pretty great at explaining the concepts that he is teaching. He uses multiple methods, textbooks, the class lectures, the videos that he makes, and the homework to get his point across and makes sure everyone understands the material. All in all, he is pretty great at his job.
Professor Elgort is amazing!! If you have trouble learning any of the code he will definitely take the time to make sure you understand. He always makes time for his students and is always available. By FAR the best Professor I have ever had. We had lectures online every Tuesday and Thursday, and although not mandatory, they are definitely helpful!
Well spoken and easy to follow. Not many readings, rather taught us by walking us through how to do them and having us follow along in class. He would take the time after each portion to make sure everyone understood what he did/showed us, giving us time to ask questions and get feedback. He was also available at almost anytime outside of class.
Absolutely god sent professor. The classwork is very clear and pretty average load, but the work is actually fun. He will always find time to help you out whenever you need it, and he really cares about his students. He is currently all the way on the east side of the US, 3 hours ahead and he still finds time to zoom call when I needed it.
I definitely recommend taking CTEC121 with Professor Elgort. An amazing and organized canvas page with clear due dates. Additionally lenient on dead lines as long as you communicate! Always willing to help and support you. Replies really quick even outside of school hours, and sets up zoom meetings to help immediately. Great videos and lessons.
The best professor at Clark College. He is a superstar.
This professor was one of my favorites at Clark College. He was a great instructor, very funny, and also concerned for his students. He really wants to help his students understand the material and succeed in his class, and he was very accessible outside of class for questions. Great professor; I highly recommend him!
This course instructor is great because he was straight-to-the-point and easy to follow. However, he also managed to cram a few jokes into his lectures, which made it an enjoyable class!
Bruce is truly an amazing professor. If you have a question at any hour of the day, he will do whatever he can to help including hop on a Zoom on weekends. Truly the most responsive professor I have ever had, and it is clear that he really cares about his students.Optional lectures on Zoom that will help you with work for the week, definitely go.
Bruce is by far the best college teacher that I have ever had. Bruce is available almost all of the time for his students. He treats all his students with respect and is willing to jump in and help with difficult concepts. I would recommend his classes to anyone interested in learning about web development or programming.
Best teacher! Not many teachers can teach as good as him. He gives good feedback and he'll respond to your questions within a few minutes. He listens to his students and even went so far as to move the due date from Sundays to Mondays because students were asking him too.
Nothing but the best for this man, I have had the privilege of being taught by Mr. Bruce, and I must say, he is truly an exceptional teacher. This teacher didn't focus on grades but rather on the effort students put in and truly empathized with us. He has exceeded my expectations and demonstrated that there is still hope for outstanding educators.
This is the best professor I had at Clark. He is an amazing teacher, gives really good feedback and is there to help you all the time. I really recommend you to take a class with him, even if you don't like programming like me.
The best teacher you'll find not just at Clark, but in general. Most teachers only give you feedback if you did something wrong. Bruce gives you feedback no matter what and that alone makes a huge difference.
Bruce is a great professor who takes the time to make sure you understand the material. He makes himself regularly available for his students and works with them to achieve their goals. I wish I had more classes with Bruce.
Was a very good professor. Give video feedback on assignments. Very quick responses via Slack for questions.
Definitely one of my favorite professors by far. This man truly understands the intricacies of teaching and knows how to best present information in several different forms to help his students succeed. He was always available, extremely knowledgeable, and extraordinarily helpful. I learned and retained so much information.
One of the best professors around! Bruce provides thorough feedback, responds quickly, and genuinely cares about student success. The class is manageable with the help of resources like unstuckstudy ai. Highly recommended!
Clear instructions and always provides feedback. He is always available for questions and clarifications. Tries to include everybody in participation. Truly cares about student success in the classroom and beyond. Amazing teacher. I hope to have him again.
Bruce Elgort is a great coder and Clark is lucky to have him teaching.
There was a lot of work, but the teacher clearly explained exactly what needed to be done and how. It was very difficult, but the communication helped. He's kind and funny.
