He does not know how to control a classroom. He also is a very inconsistent grader - you never will know what grade you will be getting as it varies from assignment to assignment and he does not make anything clear at all. He is rude and demeaning. I do not recommend taking any of the classes he teaches if you want to learn anything and do well.

Really good guy, but he tells you to be brief in your essays, then docks you for not being specific enough. It can be very frustrating.

He is awful, his class has been my least favorite that I ever took. He does attendance randomly and the pop quizzes are rediculous. Don't take him if you don't have to. I took the optional final and it took my grade from a B- to a C+, my worst grade I have ever gotten.

Where to begin.. AVOID THIS CLASS AND PROFESSOR AT ALL COSTS! Clint Elison is incredibly vague and his intructions consist of 2 senteces and then he inspects incredibly specific things. Average grade (of the entire classs) throughout the semester was in the 60s. Elison did not teach me a thing and this course was a joke. His grading is unreasonable

His grading is subjective. If he doesn't agree with your analysis or point of view, you will get docked points. He changes his expectations after you turn the assignment in. He doesn't grade by the rubric, but by his new higher expectations. He decides to grade on specific things that he never said when assigning the project. Avoid him if you can.

Brother Elison doesn't teach very often. He gives you reading before every class (sometimes up to 36 pages) and then there is a quiz at the end of every reading which has two questions. So if you miss one question you fail the quiz. Good luck! Vague on instructions for assignments. It is my opinion that teachers should teach and then give tests.

hes very prideful in his lectures. doesnt really know what hes talking about and if you try to have an opinion other than his he will shut you down right then and there and make you feel bad for even speaking up in his class. this was done to me and a few other students who tried to ask if there were answers other than the ones he was giving us.

he laughs at you if you get a question wrong in class. He comes off as a know-it-all and will make you feel incompetent for not understanding something in class or getting something wrong.

I feel like he knows the material himself, but isn't very effective at conveying that information. Graded assignments receive criticism rather than instructive feedback, so it can be difficult to understand how to improve. I would just avoid his classes if you can.

Brother Elison is a really nice guy, and I felt like he cared about me, but he was NOT helpful as a teacher. He knows the material himself but does not explain well. I've taken 3 courses from this guy, and would not suggest anyone take classes from him. He gives assignments, but he has a specific way he wants it done, and isn't good at specifying.

He is kind of the worst teacher. He seems very nice and kind, but nothing or no one is good enough for him. All of his assignments range from 1 pt - 15 pts, which means that if you need to have a perfect score in everything to pass this class. He will never admit when he is wrong and he laughs at you when you say something he doesn't agree with.

This man is one of the worst professors. unclear grader, on top of that, he laughs at you if you ask a question or are confused about something in class. Then he wonders why none of his students want to comment or ask questions. Avoid him like the plague.

He's terrible. Talk about leading a horse to water and forcing it to drink. If you don't have the exact answer he is thinking your wrong. This reflects in his grading. He's the most strict grader I've ever come across. If you have to take a class from him with no other option I'm truly sorry for you.

Brother Elison, is late nearly every class, between 3 and 15 min. late, he constantly shows his disregard for his students time. However, attendance is mandatory in his classes. Even so I have never learned anything from his lectures beyond what I got from the readings that I read before class. If I could skip every class I would. I don't recommend

late to every class, very big on soap box lectures but not saying that it's all just opinions. does not respond to emails. doesn't give clear instructions. is very big on respecting him but will not respect you.

He is a sweet guy don't get me wrong but what is he even talking about?! He just rambles for and hour and you gain absolutely nothing. Things I did like about this class is it is a free hour to do homework for my other classes, also you don't have to read a textbook, and the exams are quite literally what you learn in class...which isn't much.

All he does is talk, about the most random things too. He says everything talked about in class will be on the exam, but it's really not. I stopped going for a few times just because I can't handle it. He laughs at you when you answer and he doesn't agree, and he never responds to emails.

Worst professor I've ever had. Do everything you can to avoid his class. He thinks he is better than all the students just because he's a professor. His classes are a waste of time, he lectures on things that have nothing to do with the class material and then counts you down for not participating. 0/10 DO NOT TAKE HIM!

He makes you feel stupid when you have an idea contrary to your own and genuinely, I just didn't learn anything in this class. I am a sociology major so I was hoping to takeaway a lot from this course but that just isn't the case. He's a very easy grader and the homework is very light in this class but man...class just feels like a waste of time.

Emails were never responded to, and grading was unclear. If you struggle with making it to class sometimes, don't take this one- Participation is mandatory, and if he catches you on any electronic, good luck with getting points. Perusal is used, and lectures have nothing to do with class.

overall a very bad class.

Easily the worst teacher I have ever had.

If you can take literally any other professor, do that. Talks on and on, terrible grader, bland personality. Felt like a waste of a credit to be honest. No real structure to the class.

You have to participate in order to be counted present on the attendance. He is a really tough grader and wants everything done his way. There is no structure to the class, and he just talks the entire period.

I have never taken a class that was this much of a waste of time. I have never had a teacher that was so unwilling to teach.

Late to class everyday. Mandatory attendance with "generous" 1 sick day policy. BIG yapper. Totally out of touch. Incorrect and biased info. If you don't answer a question the way he wants he will argue with/laugh at you. 20 page Perusal readings due x3/week. 1 paper/week. Tests are easy.

This professor is frustratingly vague, often playing 'guess what's on my mind' instead of providing clear explanations. He is prideful and out of touch. Frequently refers to "Mormons" and will defend it to his grave. Chronically late to class. Expect unclear definitions, a lack of straightforward examples, and overall disorganized lectures.

Just stay away! He's horrible.

I would've MUCH rather taken a hard course over this easy one. He is the worst professor I've ever had. He is incredibly stubborn. He docked off points on my papers over small things that weren't worded how he liked. He isn't respected and doesn't care if he hurts your feelings. I never felt one ounce of empathy or care towards me.

With all due respect to BYUI, I have no idea why he is employed here. I understand that he has the required degrees, but other than that, he does not understand what is going on. His lectures are self-serving and answer fitting and he says things about the gospel that are off based and overall incorrect. I wish I had reported him to the dean.
