Comment:

I am taking one more class with him just because he is easy. He is a funny guy, although sometimes boring. His homeworks are easy, and so are his exams. After all, we care about grades the most. So, I would highly highly recommend him.

Alright, I don't got much to add, it is true he rambles, but somehow you'll understand if you really want to,eventually, i did and english is not my native. his exams are easy, if you can do the homework, most likely you'll do great on the exams. he might just come up to you if you're sitting in the first row.. funny stuff.

Comment:

Lectures are completely pointless, I learned everything from the book, but his exams were not very difficult, somewhat obscure. I went to lectures purely for the entertainment, sit in the front row and he will be creepy with you, leave in the middle of class and he will harass you, both very fun!!

Comment:

Do the practice exam. Sit in the front of class, thats how he knows you're serious and he will be more willing to help you out. Go and talk to him after class, he might seem like hes being short but thats just how he communicates..he really does care about the student and how they are learning

Comment:

Professor Scott is one of the most interesting professors I have ever encountered. While some people may dislike him for his obscure teaching methods, it was personally very entertaining to see this old "crackpot" ramble on about God knows what every lecture. His social awkwardness make his lectures hard to follow. However, his exams are easy.

Comment:

Hilarious professor. He is crazy like the other reviews say, but he knows it, and has fun with it. Teaches the material so anyone can understand it, and makes is so you actually know whats going on. Let's you know exactly what's going to be on the exams, so it's easy to do well.

Comment:

Prof. Scott is clearly senile and actively demonstrates this in lecture. His exams are not particularly hard but his teaching style/ability makes going to lecture something akin to waterboarding.

Comment:

Crazy old man who has no idea what hes doing. Lectures are an utter waste of time, and his lax approach to problem and writing exams adds another level of difficulty. Handwritten exams are vague, unclear and downright unprofessional considering the $$$ it costs us to go here. Go find a real professor with actual teaching skills

Comment:

Brilliant, funny, easy. What's not to like? However senile he may be, Scott is still a genius. Those who didn't like him were probably the ones who became the punchlines of his jokes. Yes, he rambles. Yes, he's often hard to hear. But he communicates the important stuff effectively, and to me that's all that counts.

The last 5 reviews got it right. Horrible lectures because it is near impossible to understand anything he says. Exams are easy though.

This man should retire. He is very confusing and his lectures are worthless. However, his practice exams are identical to his real exams so the class turns out to be easy.

Comment:

Avoid at all costs. This man has gone senile. He has no people skills. He is not helpful during office hours/help room hours. He does not look students in the eye when talking 1 on 1. He has horrible communication skills during lecture. He does not give students the benefit of the doubt. He is a A1 jerk. However, his exams are easy.

This professor is horrible. But his exam is really easy. He always gave us practice exams which are very similar to the exam. It is easy to get A, but you can't learn anything from this course.

Horrible professor. Just horrible. If you want to get shunned and disrespected, this is the man for you. If you want to have a learning environment, I suggest waiting until someone else is teaching it.

Worst professor ever. Mumbles and rants for the whole lecture. Has trouble conveying any of the concepts in a logical manner. He's in his own little world. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Comment:

Seems to know dynamics, but unable to clearly explain it. Most of the material is review from physics 140, so the homework is easy if you know what you're doing. He often throws his hands to the side and looks like he's trying to pick a fight. Doesn't know how to work an overhead projector--often stands in the light so you can't read anything.

Comment:

He's not very helpful in office hours. However this guy can crack up the funniest jokes which cracks everyone up. Very entertaining professor during lecture. Tests are not hard at all. Just study the practice exams and you will get an A.

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. He speaks in bursts which you can hardly understand, intermittenly yelling at the front row as if they hold the answer to life's problems. He went senile in old age and now can't teach worth anything.

Wow... where do I start? Scott is not really just a professor. He is more of a phenomenon... or some sort of unequated remainder of some parallel universe, where he is a completely normal person. Anyway, if you take his class, you won't forget him... that's for sure.
