This class is pretty much an easy B+/A-, it seems. There are 4 two-pagers that are really easy and quick to write (I wrote it during lectures). The midterm and the final are multiple choice, but can be the tricky kind of multiple choice. You don't really need to read anything for this class, though there are assigned reading. All you really need to pay attention to are the outlines that are posted. Not a bad GE. Could be A LOT worse. The professor tries to be engaging and seems to want to make the lectures more interesting.

She's a very engaging lecturer, and puts a lot of humor in what can be, at times, dry philosophy. Her examples were relevant to the topics at hand, which was nice. On the downside, her handwriting was not clear, but if you missed something in class, she did have lecture outlines posted online. The four papers weren't as intimidating as they sounded, and I felt that the T.A.'s did a good job explaining the expectations for them. The midterm was a bit harder than I expected, but Elliot was kind enough to individually go over every question I got wrong on the midterm during her office hours. Overall, a great professor, and I'd retake this class with her.

I love this professor! Professor Elliott is wonderful, funny, and sincerely cares about her students.

She provides excellent outlines for each lecture that you can print/study for exams. While I found that the midterm was much more difficult than she had really let on, the final and midterm are both not huge percentages of the final grade and are multiple choice. The professor wanted us to focus on 4 papers assigned throughout the quarter that were 2 pages in length each. I found this to be very reasonable given that the material can be a little abstract at times and it was much easier to write a few papers than panic over greatly weighted in class tests .

During the very tragic shooting incident this quarter Professor Elliott immediately emailed all her students to inform us that she was canceling class for the day and would also be altering the final to make up for lost lecture time. She really cares about how students do in his course and I was very thankful for that.
