Very great with lectures, I enjoyed zoom class a lot with this professor. As long as you keep your camera on and participate every once in a while, you are all good. Easy learning and if you fall behind her lectures help you to catch up. No complaints. Just keep up with due dates with this professor and you will be fine.

I love how Prof. Scott taught class! Caring, engaging and gives plenty of examples from material. Offers easy extra credit. Pretty simple to get a good grade. Lots of homework but it's very simple! Participation is mandatory and very important to be in class, especially during the covid lockdown. Use the bathroom before class!

Comment:
Scott gives metric tonnes of busy work and the grading system is very well laid out although not followed well. After having missed 3 classes and 3 zoom calls (during corona after having verified that I have no device that functions with zoom) I received a 68% for attendance. Class is a waste of time. A lot of giving speeches, no actual learning.

hated her teaching style, reminds me of high school. she talks bad about students who are not there to the whole class. never had a professor that takes points away for using the bathroom. very strict with attendance, but yet showed up 15 minutes to our final exam. very ignorant about other cultures. wouldnt take her class ever again.

Prof Scott is great! Love her style of teaching so much! I dont get bored in her class because we always stay so busy or intrigued in class discussions. She gives great feedback on homework and papers. This class is very fun and you can easily pass with a great grade if you put the work in.

Great teacher who is entertaining in the way she delivers information. Always fair and available if you need more instruction. If you attend class and put forth even a small effort you should do well. She lays out her expectations brilliantly, so use the resources she gives you to ace the class.

Teaches in a high school format Can miss 40-50 pts if you miss a class b/c of meaningless activities Expects you to be there EVERY DAY Completely repeats herself in lectures to the point where you "get it" Had the nerve to tell us that we should all be quote: "appalled" at one of our class mates quietly left after his speech Take someone else

The class is clearly outlined and if you follow it you'll get an A. You will get to know the people in your class very well and Prof Scott creates a very opening environment especially for those who are afraid of public speaking. She is extremely organized. It's an easy A if you prepare and show up to class, plus it's good practice for the future.

I enjoyed taking Professor Scott. She has lots of experience and knows her stuff. You need to be willing to learn, participate in class, respect her knowledge, and be willing to apply the things you learn to your life. There was plenty of extra credit opportunities, 3 official tests, a few papers and communication reflections with Prof. Scott.

She was truly a great teacher! Loved her! You can only skip 6 times in the entire semester, otherwise, you are screwed. She likes her "groups" a lot. You will have to talk to them a lot. It is a lot of fun though whence you get to know the people in your groups. I recommend her very much! I also liked her because she is conservative and she seems to have pretty great morals.

Great class, lucky had good people to take it with. Very nice and helpful learning how to over come your fear of public speaking. She is a tough grader and I never got above a B+ on a speech. All her quizzes are posted on her BlackBoard and are word from word. If you miss your speech day you can only make up one with late points, so show up!

This class was so easy as long as you take notes and study. Seriously received an A or A+ on every test. Test questions were basically word for word as her notes. Shes somewhat opinionated but I still thought she was nice. Not much homework for the class, only a few easy papers and assignments.

Incredibly fastidious when it comes to attendance and in-class rules. You get 3 absences free. Each absence after 3 equals a 25 point reduction. Also, every 3 tardies/leaving early/breaks equals an absence. Cell phone use is not allowed and you will be called out on it. I enjoyed the class, but she has the tendency to make everything about her.

Professor Scott is great. The grading criteria is very clear. She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. You become friends with everyone in the class. You will benefit from it even if you don't enjoy public speaking. I thought I would hate it, and although I don't like talking in front of the class, I really like this class!
