Comment:

Mike Scott is hilarious, but his methods of teaching are questionable. He spends a lot of time distracted talking about other subjects. The extra credit is basically worth more than all the tests combined, or close to that number. If given the chance, DO the extra credit! It's sooo worth it. Got me an easy A.

Comment:

This guy doesnt know how to teach. He went on and on about the type of women he would like to meet and talks about his gun collections...wasting student time and money. Not sure why OCC still keep him around. He is not a good representative to OCC. Please let him go and save us the headache. Most unprofessional professor I've met.

Comment:

Got an A. Attending every lecture is a must. He goes through a lot of samples and definitions in one class. Nail these two down and you should have a decent score. Extra credit is time consuming but easy and it boosts up grades by A LOT. Only take him if you're willing to put in work and attend lectures, otherwise you can easily get lost and fail.

Comment:

Professor Scott was really interesting to take. His digressions really had some kick behind them. He kept most tangents close to the subject, but he would veer off. He wasn't the clearest teacher, nor did he use the best use of time. He wasn't bad, nor was he impossible, and if you're willing to work you can get a good grade.

He was hard, and used the book in class but it was very hard to study and review for test because you never know if you answered the practice questions correctly. I would suggest another professor

Comment:

Not the greatest teacher. Memorize his definitions and his tests are easy. There is a large extra credit project that has more points than the first 2 tests put together. And it is actually pretty easy too, just time consuming. Several of us did it during class. He isn't the greatest at lecturing, but the class itself isn't that bad.

whoever says this man is intelligent is as immature as he is. This man has no ethics whatsoever. By far, one of the worst teachers. Unethical, don't know how he remains employed.

Comment:

Worst professor I have had. Not because of his politics, or his swearing, or any of those complaints others have made, but because he is not a teacher and does not teach. He is not interested in helping students learn, he is interested in how he can use his classroom and his position as professor to boost his ego. Period.

Comment:

Worst teacher ever!! He talks about drugs & his wifes sex life 90% of the class. I thought at 1st he was gonna be my favorite but NO WAY! Then you have an extra cred option that takes 8-12 hrs &if u miss 1 step you get no points.Thats what happened to me. And u have no homework only written tests that have to be answered word for word or its wrong

Comment:

Prof Scott is an either "you love him, or you hate him" kinda guy. Now he does swear in class and often goes off topic for long periods of time, he is a good teacher as long as you work at it. He can be hard to understand, but that's why you ask questions. I'm certain that most of these comments are from people who never said a word to him in class

Comment:

Today he walked out of our classroom and threatened us with a test. 90% of what he talks about is not on the test. He goes on a tangent everyday of class, and is VERY easily angered. Today was a great example of his anger. I suggest to not take his class.

Comment:

This gentlemen without a doubt stimulates your thought process. Although, his ability to convey the information required to pass his class with an A is absent. He unfortunately is so upset with his childhood and the government that he brings it to class. His rational discourse is a fallacy because his teaching style does not reflect his character.

Professor Scott is really boring, he talks about weird things all the time. His class is a bore fest combined with confusion. I feel asleep every class session. I learned everything from the text and got a B.
