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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.
