Took his stats class in the summer- 6 weeks. He gave awesome help, and was there for every student. Stats itself is confusing, but if you are willing to put in the effort, he will help you the rest of the way. I can only imagine he is even better in person and in a full semester class. I recommend taking Prof. Elliot.

Best math teacher ever! He is very detailed on what he wants. He sincerely wants you to pass and knows his stuff. He provides a study guide for his final which helped tremendously. He also responds very quickly to questions.20pts Extra credit given at end of semester that goes towards overall grade. I wish i had him for all my class.

Elliot was probably the best math teacher I had ever had. He is very clear with the material, always makes sure everyone is understanding before moving on, and very caring. As a visual learner, the worksheets he hands out for every section really helped as notes and getting into groups allowed you to get more help if needed. 100% recommend!!!!

I was very nervous to take this class because I was afraid of how hard it would be, but Professor Elliott made it very easy and fun! There was a lot of homework, but the exam's are easy if you do the study guide's and understand them well. He is also very caring and is always available to help if you have any questions.

Straight to the point, funny classes, realistic pace covering new material and willing to spend extra time when the class doesn't understand something. Quizzes and exams are just like the hw. He wants you prepared for calculus; do the hw and show up to class and you won't struggle. Lenient with grades if he sees you're putting effort in! TAKE HIM!

Statistics was a difficult subject but the format of the class made it very manageable. You have to read a page of information then take a quiz on it. you get 3 attempts at the quiz so you can learn from your mistakes. I would highly recommend if you are comfortable with online/self directed learning.

I wholly understand I took this course in a smaller session but the sheer amount of work is astronomical. I'm blessed not to have too many classes during this time because I was spending around ~4 hours daily completing that week's work. The course is extremely comprehensible and Prof. Elliott makes himself available but err on the side of caution!

Professor Elliott is the sweetest teacher, he cares about people learning from his class rather than how well they preform on a test. He's very fun and keeps a great energy even when everyone is giving very little. You can tell he loves his job and wants to help. There's lots of homework so stay up to date but otherwise you should be good!

Not gonna lie, I had no idea what was going on in this class, but that's mainly because I was being lazy. If you try, even a little bit, this class is gonna be just fine. Bryan Elliott is extremely respectful, approachable, kind, and helpful. He is easy going in class, and responsive online. I'm doing good in here, cuz I started trying at the end.

So I took his statistics class and it was so incredibly easy, although the syllabus says its like 15 hours a week it's not I spent like 4-5 hours a week on this class. Also there's like 100 quizs throughout the whole semester but most are only 2 or 3 questions and you can take them 3 times each so its hard to fail if you just put in a bit of effort

Elliot is great. I highly recommend. Down to earth, charasmatic, always full of energy. He clearly wants everyone to succeed in his class, and as long as you're putting in effort, you will do well. Late assignments are allowed, so if you're a procrastinator, its easy to let your bad habits get out of hand in this class. Just don't be lazy.

I enjoyed Professor Elliott's class. I am not a math person, however the way he sets up the class makes it much easier to understand. It's lots of reading and comprehension but it is definitely easy and doable. If you know how to pace yourself and are able to keep yourself on track, this class is for you.

I really loved to have him as a teacher. Full of energy all the time, super nice and accessible. Good teaching techniques, I was kind of unsure about him making you work on groups during lectures but it is actually very helpful and nice (Said by an introvert whose second language is English). Lots of online work but it is not difficult.

You get 3 tries for every quiz and test so it's super hard to fail this class. It's an easy A. Really caring and wants you to succeed! Always open for help:)

I struggled a lot in the begining of the course because it was A LOT of work at a fast pace but once I got the hang of it it was easy. About 120 quizzes (4 questions)THREE attempts on each & it shows you what you got wrong. Final exam 22 questions -easy, Elliot always reposnds, he is nice & gives feedback. Offers several chances to fix your grade.

Really good teacher for stats! Tried before and his layout seemed to be easier than what I had last time. Can be a tough grader on some assignments. Rubric states one thing and he goes against it and doesnt give a great reason. Does let you correct work and turn in late if needed! All in all hes recommend by me!

There are over 20 assignments a week or more, to the point you can't get anything done for your other classes ridiculous the amount of work he would assign, In the beginning of his class he sent his syllabus saying something like “if you think this will be easier than an in person class you should drop it” It was way worse than in person class!!!
