Woo hoo!
class was interesting enough. pretty simple. however, he has a strict attendance policy. very strict. he takes points off of your final average if you don't come to class. sucks. but if you can make it to class, you'll do alright.
Dr. Scofield was so easy. I've heard he is the easiest human development professor at alabama. jus memorize the notes that he does in class and u should make an easy A. he also posts the notes online on tegrity if u happen to miss some notes while out of class.
Super easy. Buy his notes in the book store and he has study guides online for each test. You also have 3 projects and they are easy A's. overall, easy A... take this professor if possible. and DO NOT buy the book, i didn't open it once and he doesn't want you to either.
Super easy class take him if you can
this class was great! very easy! scofield is a great teacher, i highly recommend his class
He's a great teacher. He's very easy to understand, and his tests come straight from the notes. If you actually study the notes, its not hard to make an A.
Great instructor. Good examples to help students comprehend concepts. Book is useless, he will prob. tell you that 1st day of class. Go to class, do the extra credit, make good test grades=easy A!
Great teacher! If you have to take Human Development definitely take him! Fill in the blank notes, 4 tests and a project with each test. Go to class, get all the notes and study and you will get an pretty good grade. Do all the extra credit he offers and it will raise you grade at least one letter!
I had him for Honors HD 101. He thoroughly explains each concept with interesting examples and videos. The notes were easy to comprehend and the tests weren't too hard. Each project was pretty simple. He always made sure everyone understood him. Take his class if you can!
Such a great teacher, and a super easy class. Attendance is passed around every class so go and sign in. The notes are printed off, you just have to fill in the blanks. There is a project for every test, but they aren't hard to do. The tests are straight from the printed off notes, and he gives so much extra credit!
Scofiled made this class extremely easy to get an A in. I never made above an 86 on a test and walked out of the class with an A+ thanks to all of the extra credit he offers. The projects aren't very time consuming and studying for the tests wasn't all that difficult, either. Overall, he was a great teacher.
I never made above a B on the tests and got an A+ for the course. Do the extra credit and you will succeed! His tests are tricky but if you go to class and do the extra credit you will be fine. I recommend!
Very easy, uses primarily powerpoint
He is an alright teacher. He just reads off the slides mostly, and shows a lot of videos. He never lets us out early. The average grade on his tests was a C-, also his test are kind of tricky. I thought this class was going to be a GPA booster, but it was not. Just do the extra credit and read the text book and take very good notes.
TAKE THIS CLASS. Don't waste your money buying the textbook. He doesn't use it. His tests are tricky. I've never gotten above a B, but will end up with an A for the semester because of extra credit. He keeps class interesting. He shows a lot of funny videos and always lets us out early which is a plus.
Interesting class. He plays video clips on a daily basis and reads off his PowerPoint. I memorized my notes and got everything in class, but could never make a 100 on the test...always 1-2 questions we never talked about. Take the extra-credit opportunities. He is kind of rude when you talk to him alone, but is pleasant in class.
This class was pretty interesting. There are 3 tests and 3 easy projects. He gave a lot of extra credit opportunities that will really help you out. You don't need the textbook, but buy his powerpoint notes and take some additional notes. Write down examples. Go to class because attending gives you points.
Easy class. He keeps it very interesting with fun videos during lectures. He takes attendance everyday but you will not mind attending this class. Exams are fairly easy as well.
He supplies his power points in note form at the Supe store and follows them directly in class. 3 tests and 3 projects, projects are easy and tests are alright but he does not prepare you much for them. Attendance is mandatory except for your few unexcused ones that are allowed.
Dr. Scofield is great! He's funny and pretty laidback. His Honors class consists of 3 tests, 3 easy projects, and a paper. He gives a ton of extra credit opportunities and is very willing to help. Pay attention to lectures, study the powerpoint slides, and you should be fine. Highly recommend his class.
TAKE HIM. He's so funny and really makes the class interesting. We even watched the breakfast club!
Very interesting, fun class. He gives tons of extra credit opportunities so it is easy to make an A in this course. Love his energy during lectures.
TAKE HIM. You dont need the book, you can buy the lecture slides which makes following him in class so much easier. Class is always interesting. Gives a lot of bonus. HIGHLY recommend taking this course.
He is a really fun professor. He knows exactly what he is talking about. He shows a lot of videos and gives a lot of examples. His tests are mainly examples and you do not need to buy the book just his power point notes. I would recommend him to anyone.
Definitely not an easy breeze through class like this website makes it out to be. Attendance is mandatory and textbook is never used. Projects and journal are easy but I never made above a C on a test and I'm an A student. Only good thing is that he gives a ton of extra credit.
Great teacher. He is very helpful and very knowledgeable of the subject. The tests are straight from the notes and he uses videos a lot to explain concepts. I found this course to be similar to psychology. If you are thinking about taking this course, take it.
Teaches from PowerPoint - and you can buy a packet of all the slides for about $8. Don't bother buying the textbook. As long as you show up and pay attention, this is not a difficult class.
attendance is graded. 3 projects 3 tests and 25 journals. Tests seem easy, but I always received lower than I thought. offers a lot of extra credit. keep up with the journals, DON'T WAIT! very good speaker and holds attention well. definitely by the power points from supply store, teaches directly off of them.
loved the class. Dr. Scofield really makes thhe lectures interesting. This class was pretty enjoyable. the only difficult part were the test. everything else was pretty easy.
Dr. Scofield is a fantastic professor. There is a ton of opportunity for extra credit and the journals are really easy. A lot of my friends said the tests were hard, but if you show up, take notes, and then review before the test, you'll be fine.
Dr. Scofield is a really engaging professor. I think the majority of the class enjoyed his lectures because he made it interesting. The class is not difficult at all, and there are extra credit opportunities that are a breeze. I strongly recommend attending lectures and make sure to review the class notespowerpoints before exams.
Dr. Scofield is an excellent professor! His test are challenging but if you go to class and pay attention you will do fine. He also gives lots of extra credit and other easy assignments to help boost your grade. I would take his class again if I could!
Highly recommend Dr. Scofield for HD 101. He knows his stuff and is very funny. He almost always finished 10-15 minutes early, and his powerpoint notes have been printed and are available for purchase at the SupeStore. Don't buy the textbook, you won't use it or need it. Just go to class. He gives out extra credit like candy.
My favorite teacher I have. The textbook just provides a more clear depiction of the bullet points in the powerpoint slides at the super store. Honestly, you could google them but I find the textbook more helpful. You only lose 1 point for not attending and attendance is taken randomly.
Dr. Scofield was a great teacher... he is always at office hours willing to help students. Gives extra credit like crazy so take all you can get. I didn't take the class serious and I wish I would have. His notes can be bought at SUPestore. His tests can ruin your grade if you don't study. So dont mess up like I did. Takes attendance.
Dr. Scofield is so funny and genuinely interesting. You can buy his notes at the SUPeStore, but he still takes attendance and it is still beneficial to attend class. He shows videos and makes everything relevant. He made it so interesting I seriously considered picking up a minor in Human Development.
Dr. Scofield was my favorite professor I had this semester. The lectures were really interesting and easy to understand. There are only 3 tests during the semester and if you study the notes, you'll easy get an A. He takes attendance a lot, so you should go to class. I would definitely take this class again.
Dr. Scofield was a good teacher. He is a great help to students. Gives extra credit so so much. notes are at the supe store but his tests are nothing like his notes. most eeryone i know did terrible. Greeaat teacher tho!!! failed 2 of the 3 exams and the third is the easiest.
He gives A LOT of extra credit!! Test are super easy and he always explains everything clearly. If you take him for Human Development make sure you buy his notes at the Supe Store, because they really do help you study for tests!
Very helpful. There are homework assignments, but they go along with class materials so it isn't busy work, it actually helps. I never skipped a class just because I enjoyed the lectures and his teaching style. I would highly recommend this professor.
I literally love him. Hes super cute and his course was very easy. I didnt buy the book and I made a good grade in there. Just buy his notes from the supestore. The class wasnt painful to sit through either. He does random attendances so those points really help. In other words, go to class!
Very friendly guy, and the lectures aren't painful at all. The tests are easy enough if you pay attention in class. Sometimes he randomly takes attendance, though, so that's something to watch out for.
It's only the third week of the semester and everything is the way it should be. He is clear about what he expects. He has a wordpress site made where you can find everything you need to know. His lectures are entertaining and he really cares about making sure you understand the material by using memorable examples. 10/10 would take again!
Do not take. Tests are incredibly difficult compared to other HD 101 classes. The average on the first test was a D. Attendance is mandatory. Few extra credit opportunities. Would not take again.
Professor Scofield's class was not painful to sit through at all. He was very funny and he used really funny and memorable examples in his lectures. He barely gives homework and his tests are easy if you go to class and buy his notes from the Supestore. Would take again!
Great Class! Takes attendance for points, and has extra credit oppertunities. He makes class fun and tests are easy if you pay attention & study.
Human Development 101 is a lecture class anyway and he tries to make it interesting but the class isn't the most fun. Attendance isn't mandatory, it counts for so little, but it's really hard to grasp material without going to class. Tests are fairly difficult.
Dr. Scofield was an amazing teacher and very obviously knew his material well. He explained concepts in detail and genuinely cared about whether or not his students understood. Would definitely take him again!!
really great professor, never used the book because he has all of his notes that you can buy. if you know them well enough you should do well on tests. has weekly journals that are super easy and does not have a lot of homework.
His lectures are interesting and you don't need the book because you can buy his notes. You ave an assignment due before almost every class. His tests aren't that easy and if you don't do good on them you won't make a good grade in the class. There is a lot of extra credit but most of your grade is going to come from the 3 tests.
Dr. Scofield is pretty good at his job but he makes the test way harder than they need to be. In class it all seems easy but his tests are much tougher than what they should be. Also get ready to do at least 2 assignments a week.
Dr. Scofield is an amazing teacher. He really cares about his students. There are tons of extra credit opportunities in this class. Attendance is part of your final grade in the class. I did not use my textbook for the class, however purchase his notes from the Supe Store they will be your saving grace. 10/10 would take this again. Easy Class!
He is a very easy going guy. He takes attendance but its only worth 1 point each class. He assigns articles to read every week and you have to turn in a response for them. The tests are decent but he does not post the notes so you have to buy them from the supestore. It's an easy class but I recommend attending for a good grade.
I never used the book, buy the lecture notes.
Scofield is a very tough grader and tests are much harder than they should be. I took this class thinking it would be for credit but turns out it was just an elective and made my first C in college in this class. Do not take if you want to keep a good GPA.
Scofield is an amazing professor. He really tries to make lectures interesting. Gives lots of chances for extra credit. Buy his notes, it really helps if you miss a day or two you still know what's going on. Very reasonable as well. Hands down best professor!
Professor Scofield is a good professor but it is a little difficult to stay focused in class. Make sure you go to class because some stuff he says in class is on the test. Overall a good teacher though.
Dr. Scofield is a well-respected, caring, and well-equip professor. He is clear in his grading, reasonable with his tests, and helpful in his lectures. I recommend him as a professor.
He is a very nice guy and his lectures keep you engaged. His tests are online and he takes attendance 25 times throughout the semester. The only homework you have are Journals which take 5-10 minutes.
So he is a really nice guy just the lectures are so boring and slow. journals every week with one big paper at the end with tests scattered through. really easy to email and most assignments were fun and easy I just didn't enjoy the class and eventually stopped watching and I still passed. attendance is not mandatory so that was very nice
You have multiple journals, around 25, 3 test and a research paper. VERY easy class and easy to get your points. Lectures got a little boring towards the end, but I went to class everyday in a hybrid class and very much enjoyed it. Pay attention and you'll get an A. Very nice professor highly recommend for 101.
Scofield is a really good professor. His class is super easy but sometimes his exams are harder than they should be. Overall very easy class.
Attendance isn't mandatory for this class, but if you do not attend or do not go back and take notes on the lecture, you won't pass the exams. The exams are all 50 questions, open note, but they relate very heavily to the powerpoint slides and things mentioned in lectures. Good notes are crucial to pass. Dr Scofield was very nice and teaches well.
His lectures are great! The weekly journals are a great grade booster, and there is a decent amount of extra credit. As long as you study your lecture notes, you will get a good grade on his tests. I really enjoyed this class, and I learned a lot of useful information!
He is such a sweet man! His class was very easy and had a lot of structure. You have journal entries all throughout the class and 3 bigs test throughout the semester. Just do the work and youll make a good grade!
Professor Scofield was a great professor for my spring 2021 semester. He did not require individuals to attend class but if you attend lectures and listen you would do well on the tests. Scofield is very considerate with his extra credit. Would definitely recommend him!
Such a great professor, you can buy a cops of his slideshow for the whole semester at the ferg, attendance not mandatory and tons of extra credit. Great guy and really try's in his teaching.
Dr. Scofield is one of my favorite professors so far. He is a very very very chill guy and actually pretty funny. He goes over the material well and you can buy a copy of his slides at da ferg. As long as you dont forget to turn anything in and just pay attention, youll do very well. I struggle with learning and ADHD and was able to pass with an A.
I hope Jason Scofield steps on legos barefoot for the rest of his life. I hope both sides of his pillow are hot at night. I had to retake this class just because he flunked me at the very end due to the research paper, which by the way he grades really tough. If given a time machine I would choose a different professor. -1/10 overall
This class was very interesting but I will warn you the test are harder than expected so make sure you study for them, but they are manageable. Also at the end of the semester, he has a research paper, and if you spend more than an hour on it and actually try you'll make a 50/50. Some people just don't try and that's why he has some bad reviews.
This class was so easy. I only went like 3 times this semester, and I passed with an A. All of the work is easy, and it takes like 10 minutes max. The tests are online and open note. He also posted all the notes on blackboard, or you could buy them from the ferg.
Loved the class and would take again!! I feel like Scofield really understands the course especially with kids of his own and Ive learned so much!!
Great professor and straight forward class. The honors group met a few times out of class over zoom to discuss additional case studies, but they had no additional assignments.
Attendance is not mandatory but lectures are interesting and he gives information about upcoming assignments. Tests are all online and you have 25 journals to do throughout the semester, but they are short and easy. There is one research paper at the end but if you work hard you will get a good grade. The tests are lowkey tricky though.
Dr. Scofield was an amazing professor, and I would 100% take again. Easy journal entries are the only consistent homework assignments, three exams, and a short research paper. Grades fairly. Lectures are engaging and fun although I did not attend second half of the semester and still ended with an A. He provided several extra credit options too.
Dr. Scofield truly loves what he is teaching, and it shows in his lectures. He offers help when you need it, and posts the notes for the whole semester. Tons of extra credit is offered as well.
studying for exams is hard but he helps, journals are due 3x/week, journals severely impact grades, if you miss journal he is flexible, you can skip class and be fine, lectures arent too boring, videos are amusing (watched the office and looney tunes several times)
No homework. Attendance isn't taken but he gives in-class assignments once or twice a week. The grade is solely based on the in-class assignments (25 assignments-50 points total), 3 tests (100 points each), a research paper (50 points each) and some extra credit opportunities. Show up, take notes, study, and you'll be fine.
This class is test-heavy, but the lectures are interesting and tests are online. There are in-class assignments that are easy and extra credit opportunities are available.
Professor Scofield is really nice! He is very understanding and his lectures are very interesting. I would recommend going to class because he has in-class assignments. He also gives extra credit opportunities. His exams are easy if you actually pay attention. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend taking this class!!
Dr. Scofield was an amazing professor. He was very understanding about grades and would always email you back quick. You could tell he cared about his students. He offered lots of extra credit to boost your grade and our tests were all online. His lectures were very enjoyable, and I thoroughly enjoyed being in class everyday listening to them.
Great guy and very good lecturer! He really knows his stuff and seems to enjoy his job. Attendance was technically not mandatory but there were in class assignments that could only be done in class. All the tests were online and open note, including the final. No textbook necessary.
His lectures aren't boring and he tries to make them fun for his students. Attendance is not mandatory but he does give 25 in-class assignments throughout the semester, worth 2 points if completed in-class and 1/2 credit if completed online. All tests outside of the final are not in-person and if you listen during lecture they are easy.
funny and good in lecture, quick to email. best to be in class but he allows late submissions for less points on classwork. only out of 400 points; 3 exams (100/ea), one research paper (50 pt), and in class assignments (50 pt). he gave lots of opportunities for extra credit with Twitter (6 pt max) and a few online surveys. easy and great class :)
Attendance is mandatory if you want a good grade in the class. The lectures are very engaging, and he offers a lot of extra credit. I would 100% take him again.
Such a knowledgeable, sweet, funny professor! Definitely show up to class every day because he gives in-class assignments graded on completion and notes are taken from his Powerpoints. He offers many extra credit opportunities, tests are open note, and you can choose which test questions to answer.
He is an amazing professor! However, his class is full of information that is hard to be tested on. It's all application-based questions with very similar multiple choice answers. So, make sure you write down EVERYTHING he says! Other than that, I would take his class again! He's great.
Scofield was a decent professor, although the grade is majorly dependent on the tests and he uses a scantron for all of his exams. I did not care for him simply because when I tried to reach out for help, he was great with setting up a zoom call to go over my tests when I needed to, but when explaining the content again, I was still confused.
He's really nice and set up zooms when i needed it. write down everything including the graphs in lecture. the test are kind of confusing but you get to retake one and he offers extra credit
One of the best professors I've had so far! He cares about his students and wants you to succeed. Tests are open note and the final is a cumulative exam. Overall, he's a really great guy and his lectures are pretty engaging.
Dr. Scofield deeply cares about you doing well in his class. He's a great communicator, and his lectures are very comprehensive, even if you have him at the crack of dawn. He always did his best to make the tests/final fair, and maintained classroom engagement by creating short response assignments that related to HD in some way.
Great professor, great lectures, great tests. The final was literally just a mishmash of all 4 tests we had. Reused sample questions on the tests too. Showed some freaky sausage party esque videos tho which was funny
He is a great professor and super nice and understanding.
HIGHLY RECOMEND!! He makes lectures pretty interesting and fun. Attendance isn't mandatory but he does do random in-class assignments. His tests can be a little confusing but they are open-note.
Dr. Scofield is an amazing and engaging professor. I really enjoyed going to his class, and he gave a ton of extra credit. All of his tests (even the final) were open note, so as long as you took notes on the slides and payed attention in class you would get an A. Would 100% take again.
super sweet guy, just show up to class and youll be fine! he lets you use paper notes on each quiz! super easy
He is very great at what he does! A lot of extra credit opportunities, tests are very straightforward, and assignments were interesting. Professor Scofield was a very easy-going professor--I really enjoyed this class!
