Do not take this class with him. He purposely makes the exams hard and tries to trick you in any way he can. Horrible teacher

not the easiest science lab class, definetly need to attend lecture and paid attention and take notes, meanwhile,go back to textbook and read /review each chapter and his final are worth two midterm so even if you do well on the midterm if you dont study for the final you can fail this class too. don't rely on his midterm for the final know everyth

Very difficult if your not interested. Suggest taking a different 101 course unless you love inanimate objects. He purposefully makes each question hard on the test. Nice guy, just a rough class.

While the tests are very challenging, going to class and putting in the study time will certainly pay off. Lectures are very interesting even for non science majors. He explains concepts very well

If you are a geology major, go ahead and take this professor. If you aren't, run fast in the other direction. This class requires the most ridiculous amount of work for a 101 class. I don't believe it should be that easy, but the material amount we were expected to cover is ridiculous, if you have four or five other classes.

Great guy, but his exams can be deceptively tricky.

Scott is one of the most amazing professors that I have ever encountered. I am a PhD student and have taken courses at 5 universities. I have never had someone explain geochemical/geophysical processes with such clarity. He is, in a word, OUTSTANDING!

Worst man ever. And he definitely does not care about his students. A direct quote from him-"I know everyone takes this class b/c they think it will be an easy A so I am going to make it as difficult as possible." He made rocks seem like rocket

Great guy, very helpful and cares about the success of his students. Study HARD for the tests- they are very difficult! Ask for help when you need it, he is EXTREMELY helpful.
