His class for engineering math II was one of the best (if not the best) classes i've ever had. This prof really knows what hes teaching and has a way of explaining it in a really easy to understand way. His lectures were also (typically) extremely entertaining.

Professor Elishakoff is very good. He really enjoys teaching and he wants his students to succeed. He is also pretty funny.

His exams are unethical and most of the projects and assignments barely relate to the class.

He was the best lecturer i ever had. His projects and tests are insanely difficult thou; u need to redo them 2 to 3 times be4 u get it rite. Make sure you take Machine design 1 with a bunch of easy classes so you dont get overwhelmed, and make sure u ask him how he wants his projects exactly so u dont have to redo them.

He is an outstanding professor. I feel very priveleged to have taken the course under his instruction. Having taking him for statics, I felt it paid off in more advanced courses. If your looking to become an engineer, I would very much recommend him.

Great Professor! Exams are fair, and can be retaken if you do poorly the first time. He will make you earn the A by assigning homework and projects that are not from the book! Best advice is to form a group to do homework with, and also read the book! Hibbeler rocks!

Simple examples are provided in order to understand complex notions. The uncertainty is considered under differents aspects that are rarely explained in classical uncertainty classes.

AWESOME PROFESSOR.. You have to read and understand the theory he explains in order to apply it in problems.. He is an awesome professor.. Would definitively take him again in any other class! YOU WILL LEARN WITH HIM!

I completely hated this guy in the beginning and most of the middle. He assigns homework every class, gives long tests without enough time, and assigns ridiculous projects that are very time consuming. That, and he is a no-nonsense guy. You will get yelled at for breathing too loud. But in the end, I feel like I have mastered statics. Great prof.

Tests are not too hard but he doesnt give you enough time to complete them. He also makes you memorize 40 Topics which you have to rewrite exactlly. The projects, especially #Two take too many hours to complete doing mindless calculations. Overall If could pick again, go with the other Statics Teachers over this guy and save you from the headache.

Teaching methods are extremely clear and simple. Some students complain about the amount of work he gives, but don't listen to them. Very easy to learn from this instructor if you're organized. Great professor.

One of the best, he really want you to learn, he is old school: he let you redo your HW or test until you get it right. His first and oly priority is for you to learn, Best in his class professor.

Great Teacher! He does give you a lot of work, but this is needed in order to learn the materials correctly! If taken statics with another teacher, you will regret it in the future when taking strengths and not knowing the Material! He is willing to help and is a very nice teacher! Highly highly recommend him!

This is one of the smartest Professor I ever had, You will learn a lot in his class, his tests are kind of easy but you will not have enough time to complete them, he gives 3 crazy projects that are time consuming, he is really hard on the students in the beginning, but relaxed at the end. overall he is a good prof. do not take him if you are lazy

I had Dr. Elishakoff for Statics and took away a great deal of knowledge from the class. He is not an easy teacher but will give students a second try on tests. I would advise taking Dr. Elishakoff

Final grade very fair: 3 take home projects (35%), homework (5%), 2 practical and 1 theory exam (20% each). Theory test is based on lectures - you must take detailed notes. Offers test re-takes, but they're harder, so don't count on them to save you. You will work and appreciate it later - every problem in Strength of Materials requires Statics.

If you don't show up and don't study you won't pass. Overall, it's a pretty awesome class for many reason. The tests are EXACTLY like the homework! It can't get easier. Also, there's no final! If you study and work you will pass. Also, the professor is a very helpful guy. If you go to him for anything he will do everything to make sure you're okay

Tough, but very interesting course. The professor has a greater understanding for the material and only wants every student to succeed.

He seems tough. However, if you show up and study abit you will pass it with a B. I strongly recommend the live class! If you are not an organized person don't take it online.

Good professor

He likes to see you make efforts. Turn in every homework and project on time and you'll be good.

I've had him for 2 different classes. He gives 2 exams, one of wich is a theoretical test. He will also give u 1 project and homeworks for every week. His homeworks and projects are design to make you think. Pay attention, ask question and study. He is a fair grader and wants you to succeed. I recomend him.

You can see a big smile on his face. He knows,what exactly he teach. Ready to answer all your questions in the class and in his office. Very knowledgeable. Homework and project are extremely important never mess up with them. You feel, that you will fail till last minute, but get A. Has a great personality. He pushes you to upper level.

Very good professor with good sense of humor. I took Vibrations over the Summer, and things were fast paced. The course is different from the regular follow-the-book class. Most information is given in notes and the lectures. Grading was divided in 3 test 25% each and one project 25%. I got an A btw.

Knows everything about vibrations, but you do need to study and ask if you need help. Learn the Maple program before taking this class, as you will need to know it to do the projects!

Take all lecture notes. Half the class is theoretical and the other half is practical; do all of the homework always if you expect to pass and of the tests. The end of the semester project was hands down the most engaging and useful part of the class, but be forewarned, it will take learning how to use MAPLE and he is very helpful when you need it.

Good professor and great person. You have to study for the class if you want to do well - it's not an easy A. Many people complain that his class is too hard because of the theoretical test, but it's not that bad if you actually study in advance like he tells you to. He genuinely cares about his students. Take him if you want to learn.

I took "Mech. Vibrations" with Dr E. This is my fourth class with him, and let me tell u so far he hasn't disappointed me! Yes, he makes u work hard, one really learn the core underlying principles of vibration in this class; he also forces u to learn new software (Maple) for this class. IMO, if u want to be a real engineer, take vibration with him

A bit old fashioned, forces to learn certain historical derivations - 'as it is'. However he expects us to understand the intention; The key behind is, if one wants to learn a topic, it would help if one understands it's evolution. In-depth understanding is the benefit. Warning:if intention not understood, it can become mechanical memorising course

Took for Vibations Vibrations: Amazing Lectures. I learned a tremendous amount of information, and feel significantly stronger in engineering and mathematics. You learn A LOT in this class and must spend time. I would not recommend this course if you won't take it seriously. But I would if you are serious about learning engineering.

Took him for Design Against Uncertainty. Amazing lectures and useful assignments that instilled the material. I finished the class very comfortable with the material,while picking up useful maths along the way. The course follows his book which is very useful. Highly recommend consulting with him regularly about work/project. You will learn a lot

Great indeed!

Learned infinitely much! Wants you to succeed. Excellent.

Prof. Elishakoff doesn't have the traditional lecture way of teaching that some might find frustrating, he truly imparts an understanding of the subjects he teaches, not a step by step cookbook of engineering problems and methods. Students who approach the material the way he suggest we ultimately have a deep and meaningful knowledge of the subject

Course contents seemed to me very cumbersome to manage while other ongoing courses require some slots. He is conscious of his responsibilities to make the lectures meaningful and enjoyable for students. You will learn something from his course that would favor you in the long run regardless what background you belong.

He is a genius! Real scientist... and a great person!

This professor really cares about his students. It is a very hard course and it's easy to get discouraged however if you stick with the class and show that you're trying, he will do everything in his power to help you.

Professor was very tough in the beginning. Very eccentric and particular in his ways. However after the first month and I went to talk with him outside of class, I came to realize that he genuinely cares but will make you put in the work. Must put forth effort and go to class. Very funny guy.

As a graduate student taking Statics to jump into Mech. this course was ideal, preparatory, & you learn statics. I took simult. w/ dynamics (far more difficult IMO). He gave alot of extra credit & 1 exam retake, nice. This is freshman course so expect most complaints are freshmen that don't understand how the real world works and lives depend on us

He's a caring guy, but you need to show him that you're a hard worker. You can tell that he loves to teach engineering. However, most of the course is dominated by theory and formulas with not enough example problems. Class had its ups and downs, but was good overall. I'm now becoming a tutor for statics, so I guess I can say that I learned a lot.

In statics class, he takes a long time going through basic stuff, such as vector addition and dot product. I believe he cares about the students. He may seem somewhat strict and harsh sometimes but is open to answer questions. Beware of the three projects, they take a LOT of time. Attendance is taken regularly.

Professor Elishakoff is a good professor, he explains the subject well, he solves a lot of examples in class. He gives extra credits. The course work is heavier than most of the other courses. There are exams, homework, and project. His exams are sometimes tricky. Attending classes and taking notes is a must otherwise, you might get a low grade.

This professor is funny, intelligent, and gives good opportunities for struggling students to succeed. I liked that we actually needed the book throughout the semester as opposed to classes where I only used it once or twice. I also like his policy of no electronic media during lectures. Your questions have to be "good" or he won't want to answer.

Professor Elishakoff is really kind. He really wants to help me with all the materials he has. Im an online student, but he didnt treat me differently. He even suggested me to go to the lecture before I have another class. Theres many homework and practice problems to do. However, it helps students to prepare his test. Project is not easy.

Awesome Respectful Inspirational Knowledgeable Gentleman Great prof!

Taking Statics with Dr. Elishakoff is akin to taking Quantum Physics with Einstein. The grading of assignments and tests were slightly stiff. You will have a good grasp of Statics upon completion of this course. If you're looking for an easy A, look elsewhere.

If you do his homeworks and pay some attention in class you'll do well. He is a very smart and caring guy. Just do his projects, and study from the homeworks. He wants all his students to succeed, and that's important.

I feel the reviews for this Prof should be a bit more positive. It is clear this professor puts in a great deal of effort for this students and cares. He tries to make jokes and will often tie in related history to the subject. Wicked smart, no final. Put your effort into the projects he gives and you'll do just fine.

He is a tough one, however, if you constantly follow his lecture and keep following up you will not regret it. Keep engaging with him if you want a good grade. He loves interacting with students.

He is great He knows do much I fell in love with vibrations He cares!!!!!!
