Straight forward teacher, teaches fairly well, one of the better Calc 3 teachers

Grades easy, but doesn't explain things well, gets to caught up in theory

Knows his material, one of the better calc teaches

Great teacher, knows his material. Does this wierd head-bob thing when he talks

Best Math Prof.

Easy curve, good explanations, good lecture, subtle sense of humor

Great lectures, corny sense of humor, easy to learn from.

Odd sense of humor, but great lecturer. Knows subject well and shows it. GREAT!

Nicknamed Easy-E mad curves on exams make failing an impossibility.

Speaks Michigander, Easy grader, Extra Credit Maple, he passed me

He's cool, and by cool I mean totally sweet

Awesome Prof! Gives you cribs, easy tests. Tangent Planes!

i LOVE this guy! easy. close your eyes and hear jeff goldblum...

Easy to understand, and a fair grader. Highly recommended.

This guy knows what he is talking about and takes plenty of time to let you know what he means. Most cribable class ever. Plus he can bowl an 800 series. That's respect

Very helpful and goes the length to let you know.

Very easy, very cribable

boring lecture, test are pretty easy, very cribable

Boo Boo Elsner was one of the best profs at GMI. His Star Trek jokes are a bit old, but I enjoyed getting him off topic. You will learn in this class if you want to. A nice person and I would take him again in a heartbeat.

Excellent teacher. Will do good only if you want to learn. Lectures are kinda boring but aren't too bad.

he is toooooo great. easy papers. if u listen to him in class u can get over a 95 easily. i got a 100 on hic calc 2 class. knows his stuff better than anybody in school.

Very good teacher. Explains concepts well. Tons of homework help. Extra credit. Great curves. This guy is awesome!

Explained concepts well. A little monotonous for 8:00AM. Overall a good prof. If you close your eyes it sounds like Jeff Goldblum is teaching you Calculus.

Good teacher. Fairly easy grader, good with partial credit. Moves slowly through material. No tests only quizzes once a week. Nice guy.

He would be a great Grandpa.

The chuckling makes u wanna kill yourself. GO TO CLASS though. If I didn't have a smart friend that did, I would've failed. Really helpful. Let me take the first test 2 weeks later than everyone else. Nice guy, but shouldn't be teaching anymore.

This class is easy to pass. If you don't, you suck.

Easy prof if you pay attention in class and keep up with the home work, but put you to sleep very quickly in class.

Elsner's a good professor and explains things pretty well. Don't let his partial credit grading policy fool you though -- he's picky and does not mind putting hard problems on tests.

Nice guy, all-around good prof. Quizes are extra credit and tries to make sure you understand everything. Do the HW problems and you should be good.

a very helpful prof, on the day of test, he comes to class early at 7:00 am to classroom and gives you last minute help, very willing to help u, his test samples (cribs) are not identical to the test, but hey at least u get to see how the test is formatted

Easy tests and the best curve ever. They call him 85-Elsner. I don't know if it is because he is 85 years old or becasue only a moron could get less than an 85 in his class. Sometimes hard to stay awake. Pretty decent teaching style. Gives out sample tests that are almost identical to the real thing

Great teacher. Gives you cribs of past tests and tells you what type of problems will be on the test. Will spend lots of time if you have questions on homework. Gives extra credit assignments too.

Easy to follow what he says during lecture, gives you cribs for all the hourly tests and exam. Exam is amazingly hard though so be prepared. Homework is done if/when you want, and he'll spend a lot of the class going over questions. Attendance is about optional, but it is beneficial to go

Good Prof. Keeps the class on it's toes with some of the jokes.

Prof teaches by experience and not by textbook, shows different ways to approach a problem, and makes it very easy to understand thats not mentioned in the book. Gives extra credit through Maple and quizes, tests are take little effort and tests are reasonable, he does not try to fail you. BEST PRF

big curve, final counts 50% of grade if higher than test average, lots of partial credit on tests and extra credit through maple and quizzes. cracks bad jokes often, and laughs at them.

He's a ill prof, mad extra credit(Maple,Quizzes),will help out anytime,even the day of the test. Boring as schitt though, hard to stay awake. but class is opt. if you know what your doing w/ homework dont bother going to class. And he is very cribbable. I mean same test just different numbers. Cake.

Great

elsner explains things well. sometimes too well. you learn everything in the first five minutes and spend the rest of the class bored, literally, to tears. easy tests. easy 90+ if you even remotely understand math.

Made CalcII which was supposed to be very hard pretty darn easy...had it at 8am and still understood everything despite dosing off. VERY good prof

Explains things well, but tells you everything you need to know in the first 10 minutes. Good if you need extra examples, horribly boring otherwise. Tests are fairly easy.

Very clear and helpful professor. I only half paid attention, didn't take notes, and only did the problems on the sample test that he handed out and I have a 102% in the class right now. The sample test basically IS the test.

awesome prof. really easy tests and several chances for extra credit. i would recommend always doing the homework.

Good professor, although a bit boring at times. He does an excellent job at explaining the material and explaining how it is used in the work world. Very easy class if you look over the cribs he gives you.

Prof Elsner is a great teacher. He makes sense of what he's teaching so you understand and can actually learn. Take his class!!

Highly cribbable, highly boring. zzzzz not uncommon among students of this class. If you have a question he will go extra mile for you. Wants to see you succeed.

Good teacher, easy tests.

Knows his stuff, and cares about his students... He's just so boring. Class is pretty easy, and he will help with anything you need.

Very easy Prof. Explains things very well. Do some homework and do the practice tests and you should do fine. This class was my WAG booster this term I'm pretty sure.

Your relationship with Elsner is love or hate. Mine was love. This guy can be pretty boring by his tone of voice, but if you listen to his words, they're clear as glass. The homework is easy and relevant. He gives you cribs for each test and they're very similar. Think happy thoughts and do the cribs. Grading scheme is VERY easy.

Great Professor. Explains things really well and he really knows his stuff. His test aren't bad and he is a fair grader. Study the practice test and you will do fine.

He is an excellent professor. I had him for Calc II and purposely took him again for Calc III. The rundown (for either class): no homework ever due; 3 tests + final exam; tests have basic problems, nice curves, and are crib-able; extra credit opportunities; no attendance; willing to answer questions and clarify information; actually teaches you!

Easy E is what they call him.

Easy E. Kind of boring lectures but he does know what he is talking about. Gives out cribs for the test that are helpful for the real ones. I barely went to class and found it easy to do decent on the tests.

very easy professor if you do the work. i have taken all three math classes with him so far and i wouldn't want anyone else. EASY E

Easy E is great. 60 first test, 95 second, 61 Third (who really gets series?) ended the class with a 74. Studied approximately 12 hrs and it was in the last week. Bad grade was my fault, but Easy E was the man!!! Just study, it's Calc, you need to go over it.

Easy E is easy! Show up to class take notes and you should do just fine. First quiz I got a 70 and the next quiz I got a 95. It's just up to you if you do the work right. He wont give you anything below a 60...you can't fail!

Pretty easy class. Doesn't collect homework, but for Calc 3, it's something that should be done. Even if you don't, you'll still get a passing grade.
