Comment:

I really liked him, but many didn't. He lectures through powerpoint and uploads everything for you plus study questions. We were graded on 4 tests, plus lab, and he threw the lowest out. Everything for tests were outlined in the questions. As long as you studied and understood, you shouldn't have issues. Book was required, but I never touched it.

Comment:

Dr. Scott is a really nice professor. However, he is tough. He is hard to get in touch with because he is so busy. His tests are straight from the Powerpoint, but you need to virtually memorize every single word from it. Other than that, he is good.

Comment:

He is a very good professor and seems to care a lot about the subject. I had him for Zoology and the biggest issue is just the amount of information. It is mostly memorization but a ton of it. Lab practical was extremely hard so make sure to pay attention and take notes in lab.

Great professor! Really cares about his students. Lab quizzes and the lab practical are difficult, but the rest of the class is manageable, interesting, and entertaining!

I got a C in his class, but I deserved it. Dr. Scott is a GREAT professor. He is very helpful, however his tests are very difficult and it covers everything in the lecture material.He has fill in the blank lecture notes, that go with the PowerPoint. And he drops the lowest exam ALL the physiology lab quizzes are given online !

Comment:

Dr. Scott is by far the best Anatomy & Phys. teacher. The material for that class is pretty tough to grasp to begin with, and Dr. Scott understands that. My grade didn't actually add up to an A-, but he dropped our lowest test grade, and even gave us like 3/4 online lab quizzes. Definitely recommend!

Great prof. Clearly loves his job. Uses clinical applications to illustrate his points and loves to tell stories which keeps class interesting. He's very busy and not easy to get ahold of, but he makes himself available if you need him.

Awesome prof. He is very smart, intelligent, helpful & funny teacher. Best physiology teacher at ferris. His exams are multiple choice ques, but they are pretty hard, you must have to understand every little word of his notes. questions are straight from his notes. At the end, he selected best 4 of the 5 exams for grading.strongly recommend to take

Comment:

Scott is very busy, however, he is a decent instructor. His tests are very difficult; they go straight from the notes. If you can memorize large amounts of notes word for word, you should be alright. He also really likes to talk about dogs.

Comment:

Dr. Scott is a good A&P prof, because he wants his students to actually learn the material. The only problem is that he is really busy so it's hard to get ahold of him in his office if you have any questions. His tests are hard, but if you have the notes absolutely memorized (word for word), they aren't that tricky. That's pretty hard to do though.

Dr. Scott is extremely confusing. It takes him a long time grade tests, ect. He focuses more on his vet patients then the class. I would never take a class with him again.

Great teacher. Can be a little boring at times, but I think it's more that the class is at 8 am. Still, interesting to listen to, very helpful. Not hard, but expects you to know your stuff.

This guy is NOT hot !!! But he is cute in a vet type of way. Lectures are boring but he makes jokes and tells stories to try and keep your interest. Get a hold of some old tests if possible !!!
