New teacher, easy to get along with, well read which is good for a world lit class. Easy papers and tests if u read the works. Thought provoking and fun discussions when students participate - boring if u dont.

This teacher is very good. I liked his method of teaching. He assigned a lot of reading and books. He is way hottttt though. OMG I have a crush.

He knows his stuff and is a good professor. But to the person who said he was "hot". Well he isn't, unless you like the geeky look.

Very nice guy! A lot of readings and assingments but teacher is very helpful and fair. Strictly holds to duration of the class.

Great teacher. He really knows what he is talking about, class discussion is very engaging and fun and papers and tests are easy if you actually do the assigned reading and show up to class. I have to agree too, he is pretty good looking.

An Excellent Professor! He knows his stuff!

Awesome teacher! Helped me become a better writer! And he is sooo hot!

Just started this class, but he seems to be a pretty good teacher. I havent taken any of his tests yet, but if you do the reading, how can you not do well on the tests? ...and yes, as everyone else has said, he is hot. To the girl that mentioned, hes a dorky white boy. Yes, he is, but I like dorky white boys. Especially this one.

Class was much more interesting than I expected. He enjoys the subject & knows a lot about it, might make you enjoy it a little too, if you're willing to do the reading. Not a ridiculous amount of writing like in some lit classes

coolist teacher. Has great lectures and helps everyone individually. well he's just da bomb.

what a great teacher. I would have never made it to 101 without him.

Dope teacher. Lot of reading expected with world lit. Not to many reports or homework other than the reading. Cool class.

this instructor encourages you to read, and along with discussion, determine your own opinion for insight and wisdom

Professor Elison is a very cool guy..softspoken, speaks in a very low voice, but is very clear. Very california cool laid back type of guy!

This class can be challenging if you do not like to write. 4 Quizes, 4 response papers, midterm and final which require an in class test and 4(each time) 2 page essays. I think I wrote a total of 12 papers in his class. You must come to class to know what is going on and read the stories. Good teacher, wants you to participate in class.

Professor Elison is quiet though helps his students individually. He doesn't get distracted easily and is very calm most times. He just expects his students to be open-minded and opinionated to whatever extent. Fair grader if the work is completed and attendance is fulfilled.

He is a great teacher. He knows his subjects very well and I would trust him to teach me anything English related. He cares deeply about his students and his class and knows how to work with special cases. He understands that people have a life outside of school. Yeah, attendance helps a great deal but missing a class here and there won't ruin you

Mr. Elison was a great teacher. Although he talks softly he is still easy to understand. I felt his method of teaching was great. He always asked if we understood and answered questions if anyone had any. He is an easy going nice guy. I appreciate that he grades you based on your understanding and progression, not comparing you with anyone else.

Best teacher I have ever had. Take the class!

He is a Nice guy.

his class is really laid back and if he feels you understand something he wont waste your time trying to explain it more. good teacher, very knowledgable. and i have to agree with everyone else.. he is pretty cute. i love me some nerdy white boys.. lol

He is a great teacher & a great guy all around. His class is easy as long as you show up and put effort into your work. Don't expect to get a good grade for slacking off. He's always willing to help, you just have to ask for it. He's also very knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches. I'd definitely recommend him!

This class was awesome! He is a great teacher. Just show up and do your work, easy A.

i took his class during the summer. Altough we had an essay a week for the 4 weeks it def. didnt feel rushed. he's very helpful and gives enough class time to get things done. my only thing is he gives very general topics which is good for some but i'm a more direct kind of person

Professor Elison is very nice and helpful. He is always giving students a chance to make up missed assignments. I took his 102 Honors class and there is a LOT of work so do not take if you are lazy or can't keep up. I learned a LOT and enjoyed the class.

Took his honors class. There was a massive load of writing and research, but he made sure you understood the concepts. Great teacher!

he's nice and his class is so easy! I took him in the summer and 4 essays and a couple assignments...but like i said..it's so easy! if you don't pass at least with a B then you're just lazy!

Easy class, read the sparknotes and you should be fine. He really enjoys teaching, I took his 205 class too, he's a great teacher. If you're in his 205, do the work and show an interest! The class can be really fun if you let it!

He is the man. Really good teacher and was excellent at explaining assignments. Highly recommended.

Very good teacher, took him over summer. 4 Essays, assigned monday rough draft due thursday for peer reviews *which really helps* then final due monday. The assignments are WAY easy. shouldn't be stuff you don't already know. I suggest before you turn in the final essay to go the writing center, GUARANTEED a higher grade. VERY easy grader. Easy A!

I absolutely LOVED this class! He is an excellent teacher, very clear. I learned alot from his class and it made me realize how fun writing poetry is! Mr. Elison deserves a raise!

Awesome! Very fair & friendly. Focused class size w/ clear expectations. Mature & intelligent Socratic dialogues. Very interesting coursework. Class is worth going to. Takes the fear out of taking honors. He is also involved in the Honor Society for the school, & will point anyone in the right direction.

This Professor is great. He's a chill laid-back guy. My writing and reading comprehension etc improved. If you have an opportunity to take one of his classes go for it.

Class was very laid back, lots of poems were read, there really is no grading except on your attempts to write poems, and your response papers (there are 4). If you do your work, you'll get an A!

Excellent professor. Took online summer 2012. 4 essays. Reading with in text. Excellent communication. Marks and comments on each paper quickly. Overall: Highly recommended

His class is easy. He is helpful and nice. You can text during class and he doesn’t care. ESL students take is class, he is very understanding.

I took him for a summer English 101 class, he is a great teacher. Very clear, calm, collected, and knowledgable. I would highly recommend this professor!!

Very straight-forward; do the readings and show up to class and you'll do fine. If everyone what they're supposed to, he ends class early. Very helpful professor.

What a nice guy! He made poetry so fun, and exciting, not to mention simple. Really down to earth guy, who would love to help you understand concepts. Chill class, light home work, easy grading. What a delightful course! Definitely recommend this class to ANYone. He's good looking too!!

I took Professor Elison's Eng 101G class because it was the only English class open and I needed it. I didn't think I would pass, to my surprise I got a B. You do a lot of essays, short ones. Know your MLA format.

Very straightforward and simple class. Not many assignments, just analysis papers here and there on poems. He grades really easily and I never received less than an A on any assignment. He doesn't explain the material very well though. You don't learn much, but his passion gives the students in interest in poetry. Highly recommend.

This was my second class with Mr. Elison, and I am enrolled for my third with him this spring. You can tell he has a passion for poetry, & he encourages students to find theirs for it as well. He encourages questions and creativity, and is very understanding. Great professor!

If you are taking an online English class do! try to get professor Elison. He's awesome and responds fairly fast to emails or questions about assignment and essays. If I have more English classes to take he'll def. be the one I choose to take it with

VERY laid back professor, very lenient in grading, as long as you follow his directions, which he makes crystal clear. A decent amount of responses and analysis, but grading is very fair, for a 200 level class. Highly recommend taking this professor.

Great online course. Grades based on the work you did, homework and assignments are easy. Pretty fair grading on the essays. Not overloading on the work. Would highly recommend him for the online course if you just need to get this course over with. You will easily get an A if you do the work and follow the guidelines for the essay.

I love this class and the professor. He is very lighthearted and relaxed. If you enjoy reading poetry, this is the class for you. One of the most lenient professor's in grading. You do need to attend the classes but he explains curriculum then dismisses regardless of time so always out early. He wants you to understand material and succeed.

I really enjoyed this class. Professor Elison is wonderful. Very relaxed class and I really enjoyed learning about poetry. If you are thinking of which English class to take, I highly recommend this one. Great professor and also responds quickly by email.

Lots of reading and summarizing what it is you read and if you have any questions he is very helpful. I had missed responding to another students discussion and he was nice enough to remind me to complete it before it was due. I took this class online and I would definitely recommend you take him :)

Great Professor! Took this class online and the work wasnt overwhelming at all. Take him!!!

Reading assignments were fairly easy - some more interesting than others, but that is to be expected. Gives great feedback, and answers questions and concerns in a timely manner.

He is great and wants to prepare students for the research and writing needed to excel in your chosen field. One group presentation and does not care if you read from your paper. The topics are interesting.

Pretty easy english class. DO EVERY ASSIGNMENT. I skipped a lot of 20 point assignments and it really added up. Every week you will have - A reading along with an assignment (typically answering questions) 20pts Respond to another student 20pts One big essay. Easy. Not a research paper or anything. Take this class!

I took this class online and it was a weekly reading , discussion, and essay. I expected more for a English class but It was pretty easy just do the work and you will do fine! Take this class.

This was my first college class and I took it online. Everything was well presented and explained, If you just do the work it is an easy class to pass. Mixture of group discussions, multiple choice quizzes, and 5 essays.

Professor Elison was absolutely amazing. The workshops done in class helped a lot more than I thought they would. Just make sure you follow the right format when given an assignment. He's very good at getting back to you if you don't understand something or just answering questions in general. We need more professors like him at CSN.

This professor was amazing, there's weekly participation papers as well as analysis and response papers. he gives really good feedback. Would take for all of my English classes if necessary.

professor eilsen was amazing i took him for an online class and honestly i hate english but he made me really enjoy it get ready to read a little but the work is extremely easy essays are super easy his is a really easy grader and always emails me back gives you the work for like 3 weeks and you do it on your time he is great and very helpful. easy

I have taken Professor Elison twice I was satisfied both times. His criteria is crystal clear. He does have a monotone voice but he is still cool to listen too. There is alot of work so stay on top of it. He will help you!!

Great instructor he knows what he is teaching.

Real awesome teacher, really graded fairly and super easy class to pass. Not to many assignments but they definitely will require work. Would very much take again!!!!

Professor Elison is great. He really endeavours to make a personal connection with all his students. Looks good on red.

Great professor. Recommended to all students, he gives you great thorough feedback on all of your papers.

He is amazing and super easy I would take all his classes have a couple writing assignments some easy book work and as long as you do it I feel like you pass

Great class to take to transition to learn how to write in MLA format. My suggestion would be to make sure you read the stories required and write your paper accordingly (or similar to the passage you just read). Make sure you take your paper to the writing center, Your paper has to be STICK CLEAN in order to receive a perfect grade.

I really liked this class. He is not a tough grader. He understands you. He explains everything. You do have to read every week varying from one to 2 chapters. (Short chapters) They are mostly all poems with some vocabulary in there. Participation matters. 10 points every day you show up and do the work. Every class he reviews the chapters read.

A great class to take

Professor Elison was a very easy going teacher. All you need to do is keep up with your essays and assignments. He was very helpful and provides you with feedback. He is available through emails and will get back to you communication is the key. Do your assignments and you will do fine.

I was never really keen on poetry nor felt I had a knack for it but taking Elison's class really helped change my perspective. The way he sets up his class is very welcoming. Even online he creates a productive environment where students write without fear of judgment and lets us get on while also providing exceptional feedback!

I took the 8-week online summer class. I was a little hesitant taking a short semester. His syllabus was clear. I knew each week what was expected out of me. There are weekly discussions and a few essays along the way. I received a B- on my first paper and by the end of the class, my final paper was an A. He graded and replied to emails quickly.

Class is easy. One paper every two weeks approx. Hard to get a response, but to be honest easy grader. would def. take again

The professor was great! The only thing is that he can be slow at replying to emails. His feedback is helpful and the workload was easy. We have homework every other week. Sometimes its discussion posts, a very short open-notebook quiz, or a one-page essay (which is quick to do as you keep writing them). Great for poetry and non-poetry lovers!

Good class, although I never seen professor, his syllabus was clear on what to expect. Always responded quickly to my emails when I had questions about assignments. As long as you follow directions on discussion forum and write papers on the subject you will pass. Gives plenty time to complete assignments and gives small quizzes that are open book

Professor Elison is a very good professor!! I would definitely recommend him, Assignments are easy as well as the essays. My advice is just to keep up because late work isn't always accepted. Other than that he's pretty chill and I'd take his class again.

NO LATE WORK, get ahead and the course will be easy. Every assignment is posted when the class starts so just get ahead. Don't procrastinate doing brainfuse give it 48 hours. Class isn't mandatory (for hybrid) but I would recommend going every other week. Pretty easy and no final. 4 papers in total w clear directions. Def recommend

Great professor, seems to have low energy at first, but it becomes clear later on that he's passionate about his lessons. In ENG 220 poetry, he prioritizes the act of writing and sharing poetry, so be prepared to write, and for your work to be shared! Exams are just self reflections on your own writing.

This class was easy. All the assignments were posted at the start so you can begin ahead of time. The entire semester had 3 essays, some easy quizzes and discussion post occasionally. There wasn't much essay feedback. The lectures didn't offer much new information, but you can ask questions to the professor and have discussions with other students.

Professor Elison's class was honestly super easy. It helped me with my writing a ton. Yes, there is a lot of writing, but there is a ton of time in between each assignment and none of the essays are complicated whatsoever. The only thing is he's bad at answering emails. Other than that this class was easy and I enjoyed it.
