Good
Professor Elliot is passionate about second grade math and what he does and what he really wants every student to do. He's willing to help as much as you're willing to help yourself. Which can be problematic. His lectures are so dry that you have a tendency to fall asleep. If you have the misfortune to be in his class, be sure to read the material. The exams are based on a comprehension/understanding of the concepts. Your grade is based on the lab grade mid-term and final exam only.

Awesome
Prof. Elliot is a very knowledgeable and respectable instructor. I definitely learned something from this class. More than that, he also helped me reach out to some professors for my future career. Discussions can get really boring but you have to pay attention because exam questions are based from them. You have to read the book as well!

Average
Professor Elliot really cares about Geology and is more of a traditional teacher. His class consists of four grades weighing 25%; two exams, final exam, and laboratory grade. It's a lecture heavy class. You need to go to class to better understand the material. If you don't study, you won't pass.

Research

Elliott
Greater Atlanta Area
I am currently Associate Professor of Geosicences at Georgia State University. I am active in two research areas: sorption of cesium and related elements in soils and clay mineralogy of the Rifle Integrated Challenge Site both funded by the US Department of Energy; and kinetics of the smectite to illite transformation including applications of K-Ar geochronologic techniques. The latter project has had funding from various sources (NSF, PRF and some subcontract work with industries).
Additionally, I served as Department Chair in Geosciences from 2007-2103. During this time, the Geosciences Department took shape as a merged unit and is poised for growth and many successes. Also, I completed a three year term on the Executive Committee of "Elements." A very interesting group and overall time well spent. Lastly, I completed a two-year term as chair of the Geology-Geography Academic Advisory Committee of the University System of Georgia. Again, some interesting issues came forward.
I am now President of the Clay Minerals Society.
