Comment:

I was in his office almost every day with questions. Took this class as a freshman (frowned upon but worth it) I think he saw potential in me and helped me a lot. ASK QUESTIONS outside of class bc he will answer them. This was an 8am and I looked forward to it every day bc I loved it. He makes class fun and you can actually have a convo with him.

Comment:

The good thing about Scanlon is that he will try to help you whenever you ask for help. However, he is a very sarcastic person and downright rude. Sometimes he will embarrass you in front of the whole class. He also very hard to understand because he doesn't explain things well. He also raises his voice a lot.

Comment:

Scanlon is a very funny, but sarcastic person. He might come off as stand-offish sometimes, but he is a very good professor. It just depends on your sense of humor. Overall he is very good at explaining things, but you are required to put forth a lot of effort too if you want to pass this class.

Scanlon is rude. No way around it. I was afraid to ever ask questions and he made me uber nervous in lab. Avoid taking him at all costs.

I do not appreciate the cursing and belittling that I experienced in this class. Scanlon was completely improfessional with questionable ethics. Even going to the dean did little to change his behavior.

Comment:

Scanlon is great. He is really dedicated to the program and his students. The outcome system is great and is meant for you to learn the material, which is the point isnt it? Because if this teacher I've switched my major to Chemistry. He is tough on his students, but only the ones he believes in and only because he wants you to do well.

Comment:

This Class Is Tough! But Scanlon is a great teacher. Will help you with whatever you need. I came into 1105 with a very small back round, and Scanlon was glad to help me with what I didn't understand one on one. I love the Outcome system, but I do understand why some don't.

Comment:

Scanlon isn't really that bad. He gets excited about what he teaches and it may sometimes come across as yelling. He may seem unapproachable and grouchy, but he's really not. He's willing to help anyone and everyone who has a question.

Comment:

Amasing teacher. We are in college to get an education and if you got 50/61 outcomes you can still get an A in the "A-tests." Obviously the "60/61 ****" is cardstacking and cannot handle the truth that they didn't try hard enough! Take this professure and you will learn, isn't that why we are in colege?

Dr. Scanlon was one of the most helpful professors I ever had. He expects you to work, and he is not easy. If you work hard you he will take care of you.
