He was an excellent professor for 3120 and 3120L! I feel like I learned so much in his class. I would highly recommend him

Dr. Elcik is a super nice professor. He posted every lecture online, and only added a few things in class. The only grades for the whole class were 4 exams (including the final), and he always makes the test dates on the worst day possible. Bonus points on every exam, and he gave us extra credit for doing a survey.

4 test each worth 25% for your final grade. Class consisted of lectures everyday and and then tests, no HW. Professor Elcik was great an explaining everything and did very well while lecturing. Each test had bonus point questions at the end. Posts lecture powerpoints online, leaves out a few details that you have to get in class. 10/10 recommend

I would recommend taking this class if you need an easy science credit. All the class presentations are posted on ELC, and attendance is not mandatory. There is no outside homework and your grade is compromised of 3 tests and a final that wasn't that difficult.

Professor Elcik is phenomenal! He didn't try to make the class any harder than need be. Grades were comprised of 4 tests that were very easy, and extra credit was provided multiple times. He was very accessible outside of class and was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the subject. Classes are lecture-only, and attendance is not mandatory.

Dr. Elcik gave very detailed lectures. Tests were straight from his lectures, so as long as you pay attention and take good notes you should be fine. Grade is top hat and exam grades only. Only issue is he only allows 2 absences before he deducts points from your overall grade.

Dr. Elcik is one of my favorite professors ever. He does lecture a lot, but the lectures are genuine and he is passionate about his field. He gives ample opportunity for every student in the class to gain extra credit. I will say attendance really helped me do so well in the class. Easy material but if you dont go to class it may seem too hard.

An overall easy A if you come to class and take notes. He is fair and nothing on tests will surprise since its all from his lectures. If top hat messes up call them and they will fix it or he will. 3-4 mc tests and a final plus attendance and top hat questions. Final was all previous test questions. He gives bonus on tests to help out.

Prof Elcik is a nice guy and a good professor who is very passionate about this subject. His class is taught with lectures and powerpoints - if you take notes, you should be fine as his tests are pretty straightforward. He covers a LOT of info and moves fast. It does sometimes feel too much for a survey class; he'll go on advanced tangents often.

Took this class during the 2020 pandemic online and he is a solid choice. The class is Khan Academy style with videos and quizzes that count for 50% of your grade. The midterm was easy. The only thing to be aware of is attention to detail. His pre-recorded lectures go SO FAST, so you will have to play it back a few times (take good notes).

Dr. Elcik definitely wanted his students to actually learn during the pandemic. He spent time making tons of informative lecture videos and always responds quickly to student discussion posts. Our grade was based on 5-question quizzes on the lectures and an easy midterm and final. Take him if you can.

Elcik is by far has the best lectures. He actually took time to make each perfectly align with his quizzes and I actually learn a lot from them. His videos are an average of 6 minutes long, and the best part is that they are all informative, all of the time which is a huge plus since some professors don't get to the point of the lecture.

I took this class during Covid times. Dr. Elcik is a solid professor choice, and all of his videos are very straightforward and correspond with the quizzes. The class is done in module format with a quiz or two at the end of the week. No projects or papers. The content is not difficult.

Elick was an amazing professor and formatted his lectures online to where they were extremely easy to follow. The content itself was overall fairly easy to understand and he was extremely accessible outside of class whenever I had a question. Make sure to do all the quizzes because they are a huge portion of your grade (50%) if I am not mistaken.

Great professor, everything you need for the quizzes and tests is in his lectures. Study those and its an easy A

Although Dr. Elcik's class was online, he made his lectures very easy to follow and very informative. While they did take a long time to go through, they were very helpful because the quizzes had info straight from the lectures. Very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does.

Dr. Elcik was a very consistent professor. You always know what to expect and his class is very straight forward. The quizzes are about 3-5 questions and the exams are short as well with a little time frame, but if you memorize the material youll be fine. Great intro class.

The class was easy enough and Professor Elcik had plenty of concise lecture videos explaining everything. The math problems in the assignments were always extremely simple and doable. If you take your time on the quizzes and videos instead of rushing through everything like I did, it should be a fairly easy A.

I thoroughly enjoyed my class is Dr. Elcik! I was already interested in weather and this class was a general introduction to it. You have quizzes over the lecture videos every 2 weeks but they're easy. The class was super easy and I got a 100 on the final. The lectures are pretty boring though.

All of the information you need is really clearly presented in the lectures/videos, but the quizzes are closed note (not monitored) so you do have to study if you play by the rules

Professor Elcik is pretty good. The class is graded only on 3 tests and the final. However, all the information you need to know is in the lectures. Lecture powerpoints are posted online, but he leaves things blank, so don't skip class or you'll miss stuff. Lectures are boring, but if you study thoroughly the tests aren't hard.

Your grade is based on four tests (3 midterms and a final), all either multiple choice or multiple select, and all were online. It's literally just memorization, and I was able to pull an A on all the ones so far just by looking at the notes beforehand. Also offers multiple choice. Class can sometimes be boring, but that's a lecture class for you.

The main drawback about this class is that you are graded solely based off 3 tests and a final, so there is very little room for error. Aside from that, he is very helpful and gives great lectures

Dr. Elcik is pretty good professor. His class was not very difficult as long as you study for the tests since those are the only thing your grade is based off. For me, his class was a little boring but he still taught it well and presented the topics clearly. Not difficult to get an A.

Professor Elcik is clearly passionate about the subject matter, and that comes across in his lectures. He's nice and understands most people take the class to complete the general science requirement. Make sure to take good notes though. Your final grade is determined by 4 exams (3 unit exams, 1 final exam).

Basically this whole class is made up of 4 tests and a final and that's it. Covers majority of the material during his lecture, and there's a good amount of notes you should take. Overall not a hard class if you just study the material. If you study ahead of time instead of crunching it all together in one night, you will do fine.

Like most lecture classes, the course is test heavy. Actually, it is entirely all tests. 4 equal tests grade. His lectures are interesting and engaging.

Honestly one of the easiest classes I've taken. Lectures are very well put together and interesting making it easy to pay attention. You'll be fine if you go to class, pay attention, and take notes. Your grade is made up of 4 tests and the questions are very straightforward. The only extra credit offered is bonus questions on tests. Def recommend.

Dr. Elcik is an amazing professor. His courses are difficult, but he is willing to help at any time when you do not understand concepts. He is very knowledgeable and a great professor. I would recommend taking all of his courses that are atmospheric science related. If you are taking intro to climate and weather definitely, he is the professor.

Professor Elcik was very passionate about weather and climate. He was very willing to answer any questions or walk through something again that a student didnt understand. I didnt find the topic interesting but he made it easy enough to get a good grade on the test if you come to class. Be sure to take a lot of notes, not everything is on slides.

Professor Elcik was a great professor as he was very passionate about what he taught. The class is very test heavy, the only grades were from the tests, but as long as you go to class (even though attendance is not mandatory) and take good notes, you will be fine! If you need help he is very accessible. I really enjoyed this class.

I loved having Dr. Elcik for Intro to Weather & Climate. All of the grades are tests, but the information comes STRAIGHT from lectures and lecture slides. His lectures were easy to follow and he tried to make them engaging even in a very large lecture class. He made me very interested to learn about weather and science. Highly recommend!!!!!

Very note heavy! Important that you go to class. But he explains everything and provides powerpoints. As long as you take great notes, you will be fine! Kinda friendly, but pretty nerdy lol

I highly recommend Dr. Elcik for intro to Weather and Climate. The class is super lecture heavy so going to class is pretty much mandatory but as long as you take notes you will be completely fine. He's super nerdy and adorable and you can tell he really loves what he teaches. Great guy overall

Dr elcik is great. Hes pretty nerdy and looks/sounds like John Green. Weather+Climate is a chill class. There is no homework and attendance is optional. This semester, our quiz and tests and final were all online. Hes goated for that. The quizzes lowkey hard tho. If you bomb the test you bomb the course. Extra brownie points for him wearing J's.

I loved Dr. Elcik. There's no homework except for short online quizzes that you get after the end of each unit. Some people think his tests and quizzes are hard, but it's not bad as long as you go to class and take good notes.

Very cool, friendly and down to Earth dude. Quizzes/tests were online, which was very clutch. The material isn't crazy hard and is pretty surface level, but does require a good amount of studying. Elcik is a funny dude and I recommend him. As long as you show up and take good notes, you're fine.

no homework, mostly quizzes. he's the best

A good professor that is interested and knowledgeable in the topic. All tests, quizzes, and the final are online lockdown browsers but are very rushed time-wise. You will do fine but there is a good amount of studying you will need to do, and take VERY good and detailed notes.

Goat. That's all

I really liked Dr. Elcik's class! He's a cool guy, and he truly makes an effort to make the content interesting! It's definitely not the easiest class in the world, but as long as you go to class and pay attention you should get the grade you want. I also really enjoyed that I never had homework other than short quizzes.

Amazing professor, showed up to class prepared and tried his best to keep the class engaged. No attendance, but many questions on the test are only what was said in class, and not from the slides he posts. The only grades are tests and quizzes, but both are online. Very accessible to students outside of class and responds to emails very quickly.

He was a good professor but you need to go to lectures. The tests were online and decently easy, there are weekly quizzes that are a little hard but the class was easy enough. He was engaging in class. I would recommend.

Elcik is so nice and obviously loves the content he teaches, which makes weather way more interesting. Highly recommend. Definitely study for the quizzes and tests - they are not open note. Test questions come from the quizzes (quizzes are frequent). He's funny, and if you pay attention to the lectures, you will be great in this class.

This professor was amazing. His lectures were interesting and exactly like the test. Test is online and very easy if you go to class. Quizzes were somewhat difficult, but definitely manageable. He is very professional and class is well structured. Definitely take this class for an easy grade.

Very engaging & passionate guy, but the content was pretty difficult. Some concepts are hard to understand (diagrams, math, etc) Go to class and take detailed notes because a lot of test questions are not directly on the ppt, so write down stuff he says too. There are a lot of online quizzes, so MAKE SURE to do these on time (I missed so many...)

Elcick was a pretty good professor. His teaching was easy to understand if you attend the lectures. The quizzes and test could be a bit hard at times

Professor Elcik is a great professor and his class is interesting even if you are not a fan of science! His tests are pretty easy and do not require much studying. Highly recommend taking his class if you are trying to fill a science requirement and are looking for something easy but interesting.

Professor Elcik is a good professor. You can definitely tell he is passionate about his work. He gets very into the lectures so if you are not ready for an excited professor watch out lol

Easy Class! As long as you show up and pay attention to the lectures, the class is super easy. Test questions are straight from the notes

Class wasn't bad. Attend lectures, because he doesn't post fully filled out notes - but tests are directly from the notes. He's super passionate, and I enjoyed his teaching. If you're looking for an easy science this is the way to go! He has 6 question quizzes, which are super annoying, and can tank your grade a little. Not bad though.

elcik was a great professor, very passionate about what he was teaching and his class was not very difficult. tests online lockdown browser but if you go to class and take notes you should be fine. lots of easy small quizzes that help your grade. a kind of boring class but that's the only complaint

Need to go to class because some notes are discussed that you can't find on PowerPoints. Document what you got wrong on previous tests/quizzes because he reuses. Classwork is almost exactly what's discussed in lectures. Lots of energy presenting on a potentially boring subject. Great teacher, make sure you don't miss class/get a note friend.

Class slides are vague so it's important to go to class. All the material is spoken in class but Elcik is really passionate about his material and lectures are engaging. Tests and quizzes were open note and tests are straight from the lecture notes. One of my favorite professors at UGA

By far one of my favorite professors so far. He makes the class so much more interesting and enjoyable by sharing jokes and stories. This class is relatively easy if you attend the lectures. A lot of the material is straight from the lectures. There are quizzes, 3 exams, and a final which were all timed online and on lockdown browser at home.

He's so cutie. Makes funny pop culture jokes and clearly knows his audience. Attendance isn't taken but it's important to go to class because what he explains in person might not be on the ppts but is on the tests. Class is easy when you're attentive and exams and quizzes are online under a lockdown browser.

Great professor. As long as you attend class and take notes you'll be fine.

Dr Elcik is a great professor. Anyone giving him a bad review is just mad they actually needed to go to class to do well on the tests. Attendance is not taken but you do need to go to understand the concepts. He knows what he's talking about and is a great teacher. The only grades are quizzes&tests but they aren't hard as long as you pay attention

Professor Elcik is super nice and loves what he's teaching. The subject is extremely boring and while attendance isn't mandatory you need to show up to do well. Tests are done at home online.

nice, but tests are hard

Attendance is not mandatory and he posts his slides, but he says many things in class that show up on his tests and quizzes. Every test and quiz is online and at home and are very easy if you take notes. Class really is not that boring and he is a great lecturer. Take this for an easy A!

Mr. Elcik is a very passionate teacher. His lectures were very easy to pay attention too, and all of his quizzes and tests are online and outside of class.

Almost every assignment was online, he was passionate during his lectures. Attendance is not mandatory which is nice, find a study group to help with quizzes and tests.

Dr. Elcik is an amazing professor! I only took the class to satisfy a science requirement but I became very interested in what he was teaching us. As long as you write down everything he says then getting a good grade is incredibly easy. Professor Elcik doesn't try to trick students with oddly worded questions. His lectures are entertaining.

Good professor. Put in a little effort and you can have a 95+. Go to his lectures b/c he says things that aren't on the slides. If u need a physical science credit and already have a loaded semester planned this class will be fine to add.

Just go to his class and take notes. He verbally says and shows on the slides all the answers to the quiz and test. A lot of the questions on the test come also from the quiz and EVERYTHING is online. He even put the final online and he's super chill and nice. Just don't forget to take the quizzes and you will be fine.

Prof. Elcik is clearly very knowledgeable about the material, and displays it well in lectures. He explains concepts very clearly during the lectures, which are also the key to success for his very simple quizzes and exams. Incredibly safe option for this class, and explains his expectations very clearly during every lecture.

This class was a wake-up call in the beginning. You need to take notes on his lectures, as he tends to put stuff on the quizzes that are not on the PowerPoint and is stuff that he says outside of the PowerPoint, so make sure to listen. Overall he is very passionate about what he does. Quizzes/Tests are online

Prof. Elcik has been one of my favorite teachers thus far at UGA. Not only is he very kind and respectful, he makes coming to class so much fun. 10/10 recommend.

The best weather and climate professor on UGA campus, TAKE THIS GUY. Lectures are very entertaining and the quizzes and tests are easier than counting 1,2,3s. Such an easy A+ and GPA booster if you need a science credit as well.

Dr. Elcik was genuinely a great professor! He always makes lectures very engaging and easy to follow. One of my favorite classes I've ever taken, and my major doesn't even relate to it. Definitely recommend!

Dr. Elcik tried to make class interesting by telling stories and adding memes into his lectures. Lots of small quizzes, but it is manageable. Quizzes, tests, and the final were all online with a lockdown browser (no camera). I 100% recommend taking him, but just make sure to go to class and take notes because not all the information in his slides.

I needed this class to satisfy a science credit. I was expecting it to be a little easier, but still ended with an A. Definitely attend lectures, having good notes are the best way to make a good grade in the class. Dr. Elcik is funny and sweet and easy to access outside of class via email. Overall, I would recommend.

It was not a too difficult class, and the professor didn't make it harder. He was easily accessible outside of class. Study for the quizzes and exams! They are taken online + out of the class. Overall a very good science credit to take

Genuinely cares about his class. Literally all you have to do is go to class and take notes, then tests are a breeze. Lots of room to improve grade. Would 100% take again. Little effort necessary, just go to class.

Lectures were so easy to follow, and Dr. Elcik made weather super fun and interesting. He does mention a good bit of info during lectures that are not included on the slides (which he posts to eLC), so if you skip make sure you have a friend who can fill you in. All tests/quizzes are online on lockdown browser. Easy A!

Dr. Elcik made W/C a very enjoyable course. He is very knowledgable in his content, making lectures very clear and straightforward. He posts the lectures but sometimes leaves some things out of the slides, so attending class is beneficial but not mandatory. Weekly quizzes are straight from lectures, as well as exams.

I loved this class, he is so knowledgable about W/C. Everything is online and weekly quizzes come from the lectures. I went to class and I think it helped me a ton, some concepts are kind of difficult. He is really helpful if you have a specific question. Def recommend!!!

Go to all the lectures, you will need to attend them. Otherwise great class plus tests are online so you can take it whenever you want as long as it is during the day.

Amazing professor who gave very interesting lectures that prepared you well for the quizzes and tests. While the weekly quizzes are annoying they are short and pretty easy. Tests are also all online and pretty easy as well. Definitely recommend taking him to fulfill a physical science credit.

I mean he is easy-going. The ppt he provides is just missing lots of information, you have to go to the class for note, he explains more in class, beware! All the quiz and test are online, he gives 48 hours after open for us to complete. Overall, he is good.

So much material. Everything is on a lockdown browser. The class is completely doable, but there is so much to remember for each of the exams. You have to go to class if you want to get an A. He clearly know's what he is talking about though, and loves what he teaches.

Dr. Elcik is a great professor, you can tell he's really passionate about what he teaches and he's very easy to understand. There is a lot of material and showing up to class is definitely helpful, but if you have to skip some days it's fine. There are a ton of quizzes and it can be hard to keep up with if you tend to forget little assignments.

Interesting lectures and does a good job explaining the material. Tests and quizzes are online. Doesn't put all of the material on the slideshows posted on ELC so although attendance isn't mandatory it kind of is necessary to do well.

If you need a general science class (with or without a lab), this is an easy one. Material was never super hard, and all you need to do to succeed is to show up to lectures and take notes. Online Quizzes & Exams were mostly weekly and lockdown browser but no webcam. Elcik knows and cares a lot about teaching this class but he's a little bland

Prof is great, but most boring class ever. LOTS of quizzes where 1 question is 20pts. not the most difficult content but its hard to be motivated in this class. ur grades are i think 13 quizzes, 2 test, & the final. I didnt find this to be the easiest class but I think he is one of the better options for which weather prof to take

Class was easy if you showed up, took thorough notes, and listened to his lectures. The lectures weren't that bad honestly if you just pay attention and they could be super interesting. He assigned quizzes at the end of each unit and he posts slides, but he gives so much more information in lecture about the slides so attendance did matter.

If you need a physical science credit, definitely take him. The lectures are pretty boring however you kind of need to go to them to succeed on quizzes and exams. You get graded on 13 quizzes (the lowest one gets dropped), 3 exams, and a final. The content is not very difficult and some parts are interesting. Nice guy that cares about you.

Professor Elcik's class is a solid choice for a general science credit. The lectures can be dry, but staying engaged and using helpful resources like Unstuck AI made it an enjoyable learning experience. Definitely attend classes to succeed on the frequent quizzes.
