Elzinga is extremely over-rated. True, he is a good public speaker, but he doesn't even lecture for the whole class period (he starts late and ends early) and spends a good portion of the class reading emails people sent him. Elzinga is an intelligent person, but I feel like I don't learn much from his lectures. The tests are impossible to do well in unless you diligently ready the book. He doesn't hide his conservative political beliefs and sometimes comes off as a little arrogant.
Same old same old, Elzinga is the king. He gave out his home phone number to 1000 students in case we needed help and he wasn't on grounds and the class is extremely simple if you skim the book and go to lecture. However, my T.A., Jie Liu, had such a profound misunderstanding of the english language that discussion was more entertaining than helpful... which made his quizzes impossible, because they, along with his lectures, were composed in what I can assume is the language that American infants utter.
Elzinga is very interesting and this is a very easy class if you pay attention. Lectures generally give only conceptual material but the midterms emphasize mathematical or graphical examples. Therefore going to discussion is very useful, purchase the study guide too and it will save you a lot of reading!
