Comment:

Scott cares about his students and has an excellent teaching style. I am awful at math, and this class really made me like stats even though I struggled. Tests are just like the quizzes. Go to class, do your HW and you will be fine. Highly recommend him! He is always willing to help students.

Excellent class with an excellent professor. There was only one class that I considered to be a weak point, which is when he just went over the book and didn't really do an example problem. Otherwise, the whole semester was excellent in terms of tests and teaching. Homework is terrible, its mostly useless and he needs to change to something else.

Scott inspired me to enjoy Math. Statistics is the most challenging subject of my college career. However, Scott made Statistics doable, when youre willing to put in effort. Hes always available after class, motivational and a true joy to be around! Although my 4.0 gpa is no longer (got a B) haha; I still consider myself lucky to have had Scott.

Scott is amazing, especially considering he teaches the most hated class in the history of Math! I absolutely hate the subject but love the professor. He truly wants every one of his students to succeed, and gives ample opportunity to do so. As long as you are studying the material, and paying attention to lecture you'll do fine. Scott gets an A+.

Comment:

Scott is probably my favorite teacher I have ever had. He genuinely wants everyone to pass and get a good grade, the class for me was SUPER hard but he always answers emails and drops your lowest test score. If you have a 95 you don't have to take the finals. He's like the grandpa everyone wish they had. Attendance isn't mandatory but needed.

Comment:

Good professor. Sometimes goes off topic, goes on tangents with stories that are unrelatable to some people. Will teach you everything you need to know about Stats, my next class, above this one, was a cakewalk after this course. Sometimes doesnt give enough time for tests, too many problems. Gotta do the HW

Gotta be one of the best profs in the department, dude is super nice and genuinely wants you to get the best grade you can in his class. Class was hard but predominately because of the material and not him. Tons of homework and the exams are hard lowkey

Don't necessarily need the book, but it can be helpful for some. There are quizzes after every class, and you're allowed to get help on them if needed. The tests can be a little tricky if you don't understand all of the material, so ask for clarification.

Unfortunately, schools are shortening semesters/classes so there was a lot of material to go through and not a lot of time. Not a lot of notes because of that, but must have text book cause that's how he teaches. Has a great sense of humor and is more than willing to work with you and encourages, often. Drops lowest test. Would love to take again.

Scott is hilarious and super great at explaining the material. Just make sure you don't get too behind in the hw and study hard for the tests. He also lets you drop your lowest grade!

He is an easy teacher. he uses power points and does not give examples for the class to do. However, he grades easily and even extend the day for the homework online. there are take-home quizzes every class. You should read the book to understand.

After being out of school for 8 years, Scott's College Algebra was my first foot back in the door. He is very fair, extremely skilled at conveying concepts to the students. You have to study to pass this class, I put in 2 hours a day and got a 98% overall, didn't have to take the final. Lets you drop lowest grade (test, quiz, etc). OUTSTANDING!

He was an amazing teacher I will be taking him for another math course for sure. Great clear lectures really cared if you understood or not and took time to really help to cater many students individual needs. Made class very casual and enjoyable.

I had him in high school and again as a Intermediate Algebra course as a refresher before I took Stats. He is like a Dad, he is funny and helpful but show up and pay attention. Its tough stuff to learn but he makes it doable. I tried stats with another teacher and they absolutely sucked. Scott is the man. Take his class if you want to learn Stat

Great teacher if YOU apply yourself to the class. Tests are easy if you study. projects, tests, homework, and quizzes are not hard if you are in class,listen and ask q's. Really great teacher that does talk a lot but tells you what you need to learn and the best possible way. You will use the book to just supplement the information he tells you.

I think Scott is a great teacher! He cares about his students and respect his students. He will make adjustments for you if you have a good reason. I hate math, but Scott tried to make it a fun class and I learned a lot from him. I think some of the negative reviews on here are not fair for him though, but just my personal opinion.

Scott is a nice teacher and has a clear grading criteria but, in order to pass this class you need to do all the homework and quizzes. Go to the math center and tutorng. Tough class and he uses power points. He does not give examples for the class to do. First chapters are easy but as the semester goes on the chapters get tough.

Comment:

I don't hate nor like Scott. I'm not being biased. The honest truth: he does go by powerpoints with minimal examples, but YOU need to go straight home after a lecture and DO THE HOMEWORK. It helps you retain the information. It's a math class, you need to practice problems repeatedly. His exams are fairly easy - q's come from quizzes. He's not bad.

I noticed that this teacher does not give any examples when he teaches. He spent a lot of class time off topic talking about other things (he knows that). When the time had come for quizzes and test, even if you have studied, questions placed on the test were none like the homework/quizzes. Poor Quality teacher and he humiliates you for asking q's!
