Comment:

Father Scully is a really nice person but his class is very hard. Although he gives you a study guide for the tests it does not really help and the tests are very hard. But if you go to office hours and ask for help he takes it into consideration.

Extremely hard grader and takes points off for papers not written the way he likes. Grammar heavy and points will be taken off. Lectures are extremely boring but he counts attendance towards participation. Multiple choice on tests are worded terribly

Comment:

Never used the connections textbook, used the document textbook every day (you don't need to read the documents unless there is a quiz), and we used the mandatory reading book. No homework. Only 3 quizzes, 2 test (midterm and final) one final research paper (8 pages). Need to participate. Must take own notes no handouts, very easy if you study.

Comment:

Your average history class, lecture and take notes and not much homework. Grade depends mostly on midterm research paper and 2 tests. Study throughout the semester and you should be fine. To me the tests seemed kinda hard, the way they were worded. I liked him

Comment:

Participation is important to him. he will call on you if you dont actively participate. Don't have to read textbook but if you are bad at history you should. His lectures are difficult to follow. hard to understand documents to read for class. He is a bit cocky. Easier paper assignments than other HST profs tho.

Father Scully is a very nice guy and a good teacher. The lectures are always very interesting and he was always very engaged in the topic. Office hours helped a ton, I definitely recommend.

Very good teacher, open to questions and commentary during class. Defiantly need to read the textbook and take notes to do well on the test. He is a very fair grader and offers extra credit during the semesteResearch paper isn't bad if you don't procrastinate! Lecture based but participation is strongly encouraged because it could safe your grade!

Comment:

I am a history major and one day when I went to his office he told me I was a good student but implied I was basically a failure to my major, I wasn't aware getting a B+ and having countless pages of notes and knowing history constituted as not being great in my major. If you can get out of World Civ with him, do so.

Comment:

Impartial to a fault. Father Scully has a particular way of doing things, and if you disagree with him, you are wrong in his eyes. The actual merit of your work doesn't matter if he doesn't like the way you did it. Very few assignments, all of them large, and the tests often contain awkwardly-worded questions. Lectures are hideously boring.

Comment:

Father Scully is a good professor, but you have to work hard for the grade. His class is mostly lecture. You will read one book throughout the semester. He gives study guides for the midterm and final, but what is on the study guide is not on the final.

Comment:

He has a set of prewritten notes on the board and his lecture is based on that. He is not hard to understand. Sometimes he jumps from different topics which make it difficult to take notes but it's manageable. Some short reading assignments, midterm, Research paper and a final. Some-what of a hard grader but easy to pass. He follows the syllabus.

This man..where do I even begin. If you want him to like you, be a boy. Otherwise you're out of luck. He picks favorites, he grades based on if he likes it or not (i.e. written in the EXACT way he want's it), he will tear your papers apart and add 300 commas and cross out words and write synonyms. This man can s my d.

He is not a very good professor. The questions on exams are vague and he grades them tough. He is not very friendly to talk to one-on-one. There are better history professors out there.

Father Bob Scully takes some getting used to, if you can stick it out with him it is worth it in the end. He is a nice man and is willing to help, and is a good teacher.

Comment:

His lectures are disorganized. Often he starts a subject, goes into a related subject then returns to the original. His lack of organization makes note taking extremely difficult. He won't give that much info but he expects everything back on the test. Essay in a tudor Britain class. Assess Elizabeth's reign culturally socially religously Use e

Comment:

Very hard grader - make sure you can write well. I typed my notes with a laptop in class, which amounted to roughly 100 pages each semester. It is very important that you spark his interest with essay topics. He will remember you forever if you do. He is a classic pompous intellectual. I love it. Definitely recommend him.
