The man is amazing at whichever course he teaches. Anyone in know who has struggled with Calculus has excelled when they have taken his classes. His explanations and examples are crystal clear and very helpful. Worth every tuition dollar and then some.

Decent teacher, great notes, not interactive at all. Here's my theory why everyone in his class does generally does well: He tends to throw in little tricks here and there, and since I think he's one of the primary exam writers, these tricks or methods covered in his class are often brought up on exams.

He is a good teacher. His way of explaining things goes at just the right rate. He really knows his stuff. Actually if you manage to sit at the front, you can see him standing infront of the board scribbling numbers. This is him actually planning his examples minutes before the lesson starts. Just goes to show how smart he is.

Not as great as everyone says. He is impossible to hear beyond the second row. He will spend forever doing pointless review and somehow end two or three weeks behind the other professors. He literally gives you notes instead of explaining everything and does it very slowly. Too slowly that is. He did not even finish the course. I am not impressed.

THE CALC GOD. The tests are super hard though, if you have 90's in highschool, your gonna get 70's in this class. But he gives you hard practice questions which prepares you for the exam. So if you want to pass the course, just do all the questions he give you. And try not to use wolfram too much, it will drag you down!!

I had Elsa for Math 275 and made the mistake of not doing his written lab problems outside of class. He whips through examples very quickly, so you have to constantly take notes and review them later- and if you don't understand his approach method you might be out of luck. If this class is required, DO THE LAB QUESTIONS. They'll be on his exams.

He's a good prof. Clear explanation and complete notes on D2L. He curves the grades of the final too so you end up a better grade than you're expecting. Only complain I have is the grading. I finished with a 92% and that translated to an A- . That's a little harsh considering this is a challenging upper level math class and not an easy elective.

However, his marking system is trash if you do well in calc. The grading curve gravitates towards the center (C+ to B-); so it is quite hard to get an A, but it is also quite hard to fail the class

Video lectures were good, although he speaks slow he still gets his point across in whatever he is teaching. Quizzes in his class were mediocre in difficulty, just make sure you do plenty of practice problems and be very attentive to detail. His final is BRUTAL so be ready for that. Overall good professor, would definitely take again!

I know lots of people love him but my experience wasn't great. As our course coordinator, his lectures were long and mostly him going off on tangents, and his handwriting is nearly impossible to read. His 4-point grading system is also unnecessarily complicated, no one understood how it worked and percentages would have worked so much better.

Each questions on the online quizzes are weighed a lot so a stupid mistake can cost you your grade. You can learn all of the material online because he just rewrites his notes that he already posted on d2l. Study hard for the final because it is more difficult than the quizzes

After doing 277 with online lectures I didn't think he was a good prof, but in-person lectures proved me wrong. In-person he made many jokes in class and gave tips for material from previous courses, which made those concepts way easier. If 277 had in-person lectures, I am fully confident that the class would've gone so much better for everyone.

Professor Elsabrouty's MATH267 class is well-structured, with fair quizzes and tests. While his lectures can be dry, the material is clearly explained. Attending class and doing the homework is key to success. Unstuckstudy AI was a helpful study tool for me alongside the lecture slides.

Very passable course, all quizzes are online and open book. Elsabrouty is excellent at explaining topics (he can go a bit too slow at times but I personally did not mind). 10/10 prof, made the class much easier than it could have been. very well respected.

Very simple class if you do his weekly problems and the tutorials. Memorization heavy and graded only by weekly quizzes and a final that covered the second half of the course. Quizzes were closed book but mostly fair during the spring. Final was easy compared to first year finals. Would recommend taking the class with him during the spring.

Currently in Math 267. Elsabrouty does not have the greatest teaching skills I'd say but his notes are VERY useful. It's a bit intimidating since the overall grade is based on the 2 midterms and 1 final, but he does try his best for students to get a good grade. I don't go to his lectures but lectures and lecture videos are posted online

There's a very clear pathway to getting a good grade—if you show up, do the homework, and review the materials posted online, you'll be more than fine. Elsabrouty provides all the content you need and is a kind individual who genuinely cares. Any bad reviews are a reflection of their own effort and competence Plus, he curves very generously.

He was a very nice person and clearly knows the material, however, he was past his best by the time he taught me, talked very slow, quietly, and his handwriting was not the most easy to read. 70 percent of the course was made up of weekly quizzes, and nothing else. REALLY would have preferred worksheets and assignments. Final was also brutal.

If you actually read the notes and do the practice problems he gives, your success in 277 isn't hard. Weekly quizzes are worth a lot so you better do well on those, make sure you actually do the practice. Final was absolutely brutal. But hey, he curves generously to make up for it sometimes.

His easy weekly quizzes make up 70% of the grade so it is very possible to be successful if a lot of time and effort is put into studying each week. His lecture videos are very long but if you watch them on 2x speed they are helpful. Final was way too long, but you can make up most of your mark by doing well on weekly quizzes.

He makes it very easy for you to succeed if you do the work. In quiz 2 he even sent us a sample prep sheet that we could use to make our lives easier, goes to show you he really cares. Final exam is brutal but weekly quizzes are fair and easy to do well on if you study. His lecture videos while slow are incredibly well done. Great prof 10/10.

Professor Elsabrouty is a great professor to get, and his online videos are great to understand the content. His lectures are not worth going to however as they go over the exact same content as the lecture videos except less in depth. He usually will have an open book online final for 277, this final is really long and I would recommend studying.

The negative reviews about Math 375 are quite unjust, especially for a spring class that will naturally be fast-paced. For a content-heavy class, his lectures are clear and organized + he offers plenty of resources to study from. The weekly quizzes are fair, similar to the questions taught in lectures. He is knowledgeable, caring and a great prof.

Ignore the negative comments about the Spring-375. The Quizzes were really fair, and even the final was pretty fair. His notes are well organized, he tells you what's exactly gonna be on the quiz. Follow the steps, solve the worksheets, and you should easily get a 3.5+ on the quizzes. Likewise for the Final. He's a Great Prof!

Honestly hes such a good proff with a good sense of humor his lectures are long but engaging with him going over examples fully and showing you common mistakes hes even people make in the past and tries to be clear with whats important and whats not. One downside is that he is a bit old so you'll need to screame at him if you have a question.

Actual goat, his notes and worksheets are insanely thorough. He let us know beforehand what each question on the midterm and final would be on which let you massively optimize your studying. He isn't the best at fully explaining the concepts at first, my advice is watch Professor Leonard or someone on YT then pair with his notes, you'll be chilling

Calculus is hard, but he made it easier. He's not the best at explaining the topics to begin with. YouTube videos + his notes made the corse a million times easier. Still never gonna recover from sequences and series. He did let us know about everything that was on the term tests and exams which were extremely helpful!
