Comment:

This class was extremely easy. There is one quiz a week and one research paper/presentation and a final. All the quiz questions are easy to find. I didn't study for this class at all. The final isn't timed and is open book/internet.

Comment:

All you need to do it read the textbook and you'll do great. His quizzes when I took class weren't timed which was awesome and all I had was a quiz every week, don't slack on your presentation though! That's pretty intensive, but otherwise you can learn a lot and he won't really add to your workload. It was a good class.

His classes are a waste of time. If I can't work ahead in class I might as well be at home doing something else.

Bored out my skull in every class I had with him...to get an A all you have to do is 1) maintain a good attendance 2) turn in assignments on time regardless of quality or how much time you spend on it

If the class is based on tutorials I might as well do them on my own time. Easy class.

Comment:

You pretty much have to teach yourself in Scott's classes, because if you do something wrong he just tells you to redo the tutorial. Sometimes I wonder if he even knows what he is talking about. There is no point to coming to class if all you do is tutorials and listen to him go over them word for word.

Scott knows a lot about what he teaches. Classes based on doing tutorials through most of the semester defeat the purpose of attending class.

Comment:

Tutorials? EH? all the classes he teaches are tutorial based. Good luck if you are an advanced student. Seems his best advise for someone that knows what he is doing is "looks good" or "good job". Not sure where to go from that

The professor is very nice and he seems to want his students to succeed. I was challenged just enough. I guess I asked for too much help. but he always nicely helped me .
