attend his office hours! I really appreciate his willingness to help to clear up small little things here and there. He offered our class extra credit and I did most of it which really helped my grade. The work can feel like a lot at times, but I did take his honors course which is to be expected. Overall a really nice experience.

Dr. Scott was a such a great teacher. He really challenges your critical thinking skills and gives good feedback. There's a lot of reading and short essay due weekly, with 2 major essays. As long as you put the work in and follow the rubric you'll be fine. He's very lenient on grading.

This class is very heavy in the first month and lighter later. He is a little bit mean when gives you comments. I do not like it.

Dr. Lankford is amazing. He is really lenient on late work, gives amazing and clear feedback, gives students the chance to resubmit assignments for full credit, and gives extra credit opportunities. The readings can be challenging but it is an honors course. Highly recommend taking his class.

Work heavy, but Dr. Scott cares. 3 novels required. Each week there are: 2 page-by-page outline sections (page summaries), 1 class discussion, 1 test essay (small essay). Each book will have a major essay due, but only 2 of 3 essays are required. Lastly, 1 final essay. (Total: 10 tests, 2 essays, 1 final) Tons of Extra Credit & Feedback offered.

Dr. Scott really cares for his students' lives and academic careers. Children's Literature was a lot more work than I thought it would be but it was still an enjoyable class. The structure of the class is very easy every week: reading, 300-word journal, 300-word discussion, and 500-word test. A bit of work but if you put in the effort, it's an A.

Scott is one of the BEST professors I've ever had. He might be brash and gets side-tracked at times, but he really cares about his students and is very friendly! Although the material was tough, he helps us get through it by doing discussions in groups every lesson. He allows rewrites for all the major tests and essays, just do them! And take him!!

This is the second class I have taken with Scotthe's the best college professor I've ever had. He gives out so much extra credit it's insane, he is extremely smart/knows what he's talking about and he is all around super caring and funny. His classes are early in the morning but so worth it. I never had a bad day with him. You won't regret it!

Comment:

Scott is alright. His workload is rough in the beginning (60-100 pages per week) for the first four weeks of the quarter, and the workload becomes increasingly lighter towards the end of the quarter. However, I really disliked Scott's persona and his snarky and half-comedy-half-mean responses. Personal gripe I guess.

He cares about his student's success and is understanding. If you miss a class, A you wont get credit for the notes due for that day and B you won't miss much because he mainly focuses on getting people prepared for anything due in his class. His late penalty is also -1 every day that passes which isn't bad.

I cannot put up with his condescending attitude. He cares about himself ONLY and his "own interest" and doesn't care about his students.

I am so glad I took Scott as my first English prof in college. He cares about his students and is always willing to give you lots of feedback. Attendance is absolutely mandatory, even if you submit homework but you're not there you don't get credit for homework. However, class time is spent wisely and its all useful for essays. You won't regret it.

Best English Teacher I've ever had. I took 1A online. He gives detailed feedback for every essays , so you know what was wrong for the point deductions. He even gives you opportunities to rewrite your essays. If you rewrite & submit, he gives you extra 20 points(up to). He is the teacher who encourage you to be better, not just the grader!!!

He is hands down the best professor at Foothill! take him, you'll definitely learn a lot. There is reading everyday and he expects you to come prepared since there are group activities most days. There are three essays, as long as you tried, you will pass. For an A, come to class prepared and on time and participate in class regularly is the key.

Great Professor. Interesting content that is very important nowadays. Do not skip his lectures and follow instructions and you will get an A. Very flexible homework, you will have a choice what to write and what to read during the whole quarter)) almost no late policy and you can resubmit your work. Strongly recommended English 1A and 1B.

One of the best teachers I've had at Foothill. Scott wants you to work hard but gives clear grading criteria and offers re-writes with a full grade bump for all essays. He's also a passionate, involved lecturer and cares a lot about his students. You will need to work hard, but if you do you can easily get an A and it will be worth it.

Dr. Scott Lankford is the best professor i have had the privilege of taking. He really cares about the subjects he teaches and he really cares about his students He responds to emails and messages through canvas within a day or less. He's an easy grader if it's obvious you've read the material. I wish i needed more classes he offers. I'll miss him.

Scott is truly an exceptional teacher. His book choices are the perfect amount of difficult for this type of class (Kuhn will scare the pants off of you at first but stick it out, it will change your life). He will demand your very best when it comes to essays but gives great feedback and is easy to work with outside of class. Take this class!

Scott's lecture brought me attention and laugh bc he could be funny sometime. The modules and assignments are given in very clear instruction, and he gave detailed feedback on all my papers. Follow his instruction, you will get a good grade. A very kindness professor who even brought his own fireplace to the classroom due to the cold days.
