Yep, nobody who ever took his class forgets his excellent sense of humor. Teaching business also went high. One of my favotite. One of those who "is grading what he really sees". Unfortunately retired :-( (temporarily?)

Best professor EVER. Very clear lectures. Available for questions, and is very fair. Wants you to learn & succeed. Has post-tests, which really help your grade if you blow a test.

Comment:

Nice guy, likes to joke, enjoys math. He falls behind schedule often which causes more material to be covered in a shorter amount of time. Takes a long time to return work, anal about quizzes.

This teacher was so into himself and his stupid hockey he didn't teach any math. He would wait 4 weeks before giving test and quizes back to us and then the grading on them wasn't even consistant!!!

Extremely helpful, clear, knowledgable, and enthusiastic. Scott goes the extra mile to give students opportunities to do well. He obviously enjoys math and teaching, and can make even the most dry subject matter interesting. I highly recommend him.
