Scott knows journalism and does whatever he can to help his students! He is willing to sit down with students and help them improve their writing. If you come to class, do the work and try to improve, you will do great in the class. Overall, a great teacher and extremely knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond for his students!

Comment:
Scott is an amazing instructor. He is clearly committed to the ideals of Journalism and integrity. He develops his students to think critically by forcing us to think through struggles, and encouraging us to continuously ask "why?". This class is not about "pouring your heart out", it's about concise and accurate writing and reporting w/integrity.

Comment:
This guy is full of himself. He must hate his job, and the students that he is supposed to teach. He will tear you down if you pour your heart and soul into your writing. He just doesn't care if the student succeeds or not. He offers no support or suggestions for his online class.

Scott is just TERRIBLE. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Communication sucked and there was no point in coming to class. There are tons of more productive ways to waste your time. The students editors were awful and played favorites, just like Scott. It has been by far the WORST JOURNALISM CLASS THAT I HAVE TAKEN SO FAR.

Scott is just TERRIBLE. This journalism class is AWFUL. He plays favorites, lets the student editors run the class, and they suck by putting their own articles in the Collegiate first. The communication was HORRIBLE. AVOID THIS CLASS. DO NOT TAKE IT. There are plenty of more productive ways to waste your time.

Comment:
Communication, TERRIBLE. I know he has a lot of students to deal with but come on! POOR GRADING. He's really TOUGH. Doesn't strive his students to success. It's like he hates his job, and it's "just a job". I don't agree with no re-do's to improve your grade. He just slams you with rude comments even if you put your heart and soal into a paper. :-(

Comment:
AVOID AVOID AVOID! He is very unclear on what he wants in his class. He never mentions participation, then slaps you with a bad grade at the end because you didn't speak up enough. He doesn't really give you the chance to talk either, he just sits in front of class and rambles about nonsense. I am an A student and got a C. AVOID if at all possible.

Speaking up and participating are the key's to passing his class. Be prepared to defend your argument! But expect to clash on opinions. He allows rewrites and is an easy grader, so the papers are no problem. He's a pretty decent guy.

Comment:
I don't think he understands averages or I don't because we don't agree on my grade at all and that is based on his marks. I was on the Deans List until I took his class; can't get anything better than a "c" out of him. Do not take his class!!

Worst professor I have ever had!!! I got no lower than a 90% grade all semester (got a 94% on the final exam/paper) and got slammed with a C+ in the class simply because I didn't "participate" in class enough. Plays favorites, and allows NOBODY to disagree with his viewpoints.

Telecourse: very unhelpful, didn't answer emails, seemed to want unrealistic results. I would not recommend nor take another one of his courses.

AVOID!!! Worst teacher I have EVER had. He never helps you at all with your work. He grades you on participation, but only calls on his "favorites" When I questioned him about my grade he freaked out on me and called me a liar. He can't handle anyone that might not agree with him. 0/10 AWEFUL!

Comment:
Great class to take in telecourse format with him. He has a detailed syllabus and has you write alot but you do not have to agonize with peer reviews with classmates. Very fair, good teacher. Good feedback with return of papers via mail. I would recommend this class to those who can keep on task with deadlines and don't like classroom!
