Cool Teacher! No homework, a midterm and final(both in-class essays;easy),two papers, and 6 out of 10 quizes will be what your grade consists of. Will spend classtime discussing thoughts and ideals. Teacher encourages class participation but not necessary, should have lots of fun. Real mind opener!

this teacher rocks! This teacher is nice and cool. Can get an A if you want one, he lets you know what to study. Had fun and you should too. its nice to be in a class where your own opinions count.

Mr. Scott is a great teacher who knows what is important. He has a very fair minded grading. His Intro to Phil class was very interesting and gave a good overview of the broad topics of philosophy. I would recommend him!

I've had him for two classes, and he is one of the best teachers on campus. I suggest him to anyone interested in Philosophy or Logic, or even if they aren't.

I loved this professor! Requirements were clear and classes were fun and interesting. Very knowledgable, helpful, and patient. I highly recommend!

If you like Philosophy, take Mr. Scott's class. He's a great teacher. Clear, fair in grading, gives free bonus quizzes.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. He knows his stuff and knows how to make you learn

One of the best teachers. This class is very interesting and after you find yourself thinking about things in a whole new perspective. Mr. Scott is extremely fair and knowledgable. I highly recommend. Just work hard and you'll get an A.

This is one of the best teachers i have ever had. Great guy and you learn so much. I wish all my professors were like him!!!!!!!!!

This professor is totally awesome with a great since of humor! He's very thorough and I loved the class because I've learned so much (it really opens you to new perspectives). We had 4 major papers and quizzes. You take 10 quizzes total, the lowest 4 dropped. They make a big part of the grade. You can get An A in the class...work hard.

me and my gf had him for summer and i thought the class was going to be extrmely bornig but he made it fun and i actualy enjoyed his class a lot. He is a very good teacher which knows what the heck he is talking about.TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Explains thorough and encourages questions and discussion. Material is semi-difficult, but he teaches until you get it. Great personality, easy to talk to, casual class discussions, great guy. Recommend take any of his classes!!

Wonderful teacher that really takes time with the students. If you put in the time and effort you will see the fruit of your labor.

I had him for Philosophy and Ethics. This is one of the very few classes at Brookhaven where it's necessary to read and use critical thinking skills. You'll also learn how to write in this class. He's a great lecturer and provides many opportunities to be successful in the class. The knowledge I gained from his class is invaluable. Fantastic.

HEEE was awesome... I Was amaze in how much I got out that class. All the topic where interesting. THEre is no way you can fall asleep in his class, its too interesting and controversial. THe entires lectures are class discussions which are so much fun. I really enjoyed his class. HEs a great teacher you shoulf take him....

Jerrod is a hard but excellent teacher. There is a lot of reading involved. If you are a decent writer, you will do fine because you have to write 4 essays. Out of the five classes I took this spring, this was the one I am most proud of because I learned so much.

His method is opening, engaging, and thought provoking. He really teaches the students to explore their ideas, defend them, and realize the fallacies that might exist; along with the other sides possible arguement. The readings cover a majority of ethical debates in modern society. Take him, he's a gem!

This was my favorite class so far, what great discussions, and what great works covered. This is a must!

He is one great professor. I am actually taking his class now and I am really enjoying his classes. It is not an easy subject but it is very interesting. I highly recommend him!!!

If you want to learn how to argue take this class. He is the BEST! Do not expect an A or B just by showing up in class. He does not give you less or more than you deserve, ver fair! Very well educated and pushes you to do critical thinking. Loves class debate! I highly recommand him!

I made a C 2 sem ago thinking I was going to make an A. He is definately not an easy grader, however, you do learn to think a different way because his arguments are thought provoking. This is tough only because you have to argue like him in your essays opposing or agreeing with the topics the way he does in class! He makes mornings interesting

Great Professor! He is very knowledgable when it comes down to logic. He makes the subject of Logic very interesting (and funny) and makes your class time go by very quick. You do have to read the book and work out many problems in order to comprehend Logic, but it is just like any other class, something you should be doing. Highly recommend him!

Great teacher. Super smart. Loved the format of the class. Learned a LOT without a ton of busy work. Take him for your core credit, just don't be shocked when he drops the 'f'bomb from time to time. lol

I have taken 3 classes that Professor Scott teaches and have received an A in all of them. Attendance is mandatory because if you don't show up, you might not understand the material and he will give quizzes randomly. You get to drop 5 though. He grades hard, but he is fair and tells you what to do. If you like philosophy, take any of his classes!

Jerrod Scott is not an easy teacher, but I learned a lot during his class. He's helpful when you go into his office and you can ask questions in his class.

DR. Jerrod Scott is a great teacher. He loves teaching philosophy and is very easy to listen to for an hour and a half. The class is very interesting. He is strict on grades but it should be no problem to get an A. As long as you meet his requirements, you are good. Just read the text before class. Do the online practice quizzes, they r helpful.

Possibly one of the best classes I have ever taken! This professor will open up your mind, you will finish the semester with a different perspective in life. I recommend this class to everyone! Its a very challenging class but if you read the book before class and do the practice quizzes you should be fine! Do it!

He is really good,helpful,nd openminded. Answer every question. 10 pop quiz(best 5 will count), 2 essay nd u done with A. U will learn a lot.

class is amazing his lectures are based in the book measure you read before coming to class.i willl defenelty reccomend this teacher if yall need the book i sell it cheap doing philosophy fourty edition contact me at [email protected]

Amazing professor!! He can make classes extremely eye-opening and fun. I learned so much from his class and I wish I would have taken more classes with him!

Best. Professor. Ever. I do not know why people say he is hard or it is difficult to pass. If you just show up to class and read the material, then you will not have a problem. Not only is he a wonderful and interesting professor, you will learn how to have a good life. I would seriously fail this class again just to take him. Take him!

I took this online PHIL 1301 class and struggled to grasp some of the concepts. Now this might be because of my own little mind as philosophy can be extremely abstract...and I am more black and white. I was able to get an A at the end of the semester because he must have curved the grades. Not a bad professor, will try to help you.

BEST Intro to Phil. teacher I could have had. I am a Philosophy major at UNT and his class still gives me a clear head for the concepts I am learning now and am still recieving As because of. His clarity is perfect. Don't argue with him with the mindset of winning. You don't have to agree w/ him, just agree to learn and you will have a blast!

Dr. Scott enjoys giving pop quizzes, so it's important to read the assignments. There are 10 quizzes and he only takes the top 5 grades in the end. Some of the reading was hard to get through, but in class he would clarify what the message was which was helpful. Take lots of notes which helps with the essays. He's a passionate instructor.

This guy was great. This was one, if not the best class I've ever taken. I know this already sounds like a fake review, but I'm being honest. The lectures were great. They were always interesting topics that I never got bored with and often found myself thinking about long after class ended. The best part may have been how he taught us how to argue

I took this class online. The prof was tough on grading on everything but the quizzes. As long as you read you will have a good understanding of the concepts but make sure you use them in your discussion board. His feed back on papers and discussions were a bit harsh and sometimes felt like he was criticizing my opinion when he asked for it.

This was a tough course but you'll definitely take away from it. I had this class online and it really wasn't that difficult. Tons of reading, though. The content was enjoyable and informative. He's not a quick grader. I would only take this class again as a full length semester.

Dr. Scott really cares for what he does. This class was very time intensive class with lots of reading and class attendants is a must because the lectures clarify the difficult reading material. After everything, I am glad that I took this class because I learned a lot about different ways to think about things and about how to argue.

Trust me do not take him. Easy B... but even easier C. His test are hard, take home essay is hard (tough grader), and he has pop quizzes. I took his class because at the time he had the best rate on this site. I wish I had not. A friend of mine made an A in his class, which means it is doable. However, it is not easy. Try this class elsewhere.

Be aware, this subject is mostly boring. And leave your religious beliefs at the door, because it's philosophy. It was quite annoying when a student would try to argue with him... Dr. Scott isn't bad if you're into the subject, though. His lectures are helpful if you pay attention, he explains things very clearly and is happy to answer questions.

I don't see how he can get any negative review. i'm an average student who studies hard. I barely read the book, but you should read them as he gives surprise quizes about the previous lecture or from reading assignment. lecture is really interesting, TAKE NOTES!! Its not that you'll get an easy A without doing anything, put an effort & ull have A!

Flat out great teacher

There are 2 modules. Each module has 3 chapters in it. Each chapter has a 10-question quiz and there are like 2 discussions(300 words each) throughout each chapter. After each model, there is a final exam with 45 questions and a 1,000 word essay. To get an A show that you understand the readings. Answers to tests and quizzes are online

Expensive mandatory website code required. Long winded lectures based directly on the text. Occasionally funny, but a hard grader. Would not take again.

By far the best professor i have taken. This class definitely makes me look at life differently and this class was very beneficial.

I took his Intro to Philosophy class back in the fall of 2016 and it was well worth the time. Dr. Scott is the type of professor that would challenge you on your own knowledge of beliefs, values, and reasoning. Read, discuss, and excel in your writing. Expect topics to be centered on testing religion and exploring Libertarianism.

I'm truly SHOCKED reading these comments. Dr. Scott is so great at teaching that attendance isn't even a grade and I don't want to miss his class. Not only is the subject incredibly interesting but he's so knowledgeable. His lessons are very informative and he actually makes you think, maybe that's why students are mad. *sips tea*

This is my favorite class I've taken at Brookhaven and the semester isn't even over yet. He's clear with rubrics and is quite organized. All assignments are on e-campus and deadlines have a reasonable time-frame. Makes lectures interesting and is very passionate about the subject. This is the guy to take!

Professor Scott was cool. I found his class to be very interesting. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, and open when it came to questions I had. He also gave reasonable grades and good feedback. I just wish there was another way I could have been more involved in philosophy instead of just reading and writing essays.

Professor Scott was probably the most interesting teachers I've ever had. He presented arguments from both sides and was even willing to challenge his own beliefs if you made a good argument why. I truly don't understand why there is so much negative feedback; his materials can be hard but they are nothing that can't be accomplished with effort.

This was one of the most interesting courses I've had. If you read, you'll have seen everything on the quizzes and everything you need to know to get a perfect score on the discussion board posts. It's an ethics class, so you can't really rely on Quizlets. If you can justify your opinions citing ethical theorists covered in class, you get credit.

Mr. Scott's lectures bleed with passion, and so does the way he grades. His discussions were always exciting and insightful. This man is the reason why I didn't get expelled on double academic probation. It came down to one question on the final and he asked me to clarify my answer, which reflected knowledge of the material. If you fail, it's on u!

Would totally recommend, he lets the class discuss and debate within eachother. Discussion boards are simple! tests are a piece of cake as long as you read/skim through chapters and pay attention in lecture! Dont understand why so many poor feedbacks!! Bring your opinions with you and participate in class and youll be fine!

Dr. Scott was an amazing professor, I was worried after reading all of the poor reviews, but his class was great. Attendance is not a grade & the class overall consists of 7 discussion posts, 7 tests and a paper. Lectures are fun and informative. Easy class if you meet deadlines and do your work. No extra credit & doesn't accept late work.

Scott was super easy going and class was pretty much just open discussion. Read the chapters, ask questions, do your discussion post, take your test and pass the class. I loved his teaching style. As long as you do the work the class will be easy. This is by far one of the easiest courses Ive taken. I wouldnt mind having him as a professor again.

He was pretty cool class was easy just use Q. Dont miss a deadline though cause he wont take late work. Idk what the other reviews talking about cause this class was easy. I suggest taking him, yall already know what to use �� Q. There is like 7 discussion boards though and 2 big exams which are easy. DONT MISS A DEADLINE. Easy

His discussions are extensive but his exams are fair. He gave out extra credit. The grading criteria is clear as long as you follow the calendar when everything is due you will do great in the class. He does refer a lot to the text book so prepare for that. It's wasn't hard just a little challenging with the reading since I hate to do so.

Professor Scott makes it very clear to navigate through the weekly courses which is nice to know what to expect. His class is very straightforward which I enjoy. I think as long as you're putting effort into the readings and discussion boards you will have an easy time.

Professor Scott is personable, he takes little notice of attendance and will engage with any question you ask him. Take notes or don't and he will explain any problem or question you may have in class.

I've only had the guy for two classes and he really is amazing. I love his lectures there, lengthy, but they're not boring like he tries to spice up things which I'm really appreciative for. He's a really good guy. And you should definitely take his class. Very interesting haha

professor is good if you dont miss the deadline and class is not mandatory but is tough if u miss the deadline no way he is gonna accept late work that made my grade worst rest is okay.

Professor Scott was a fantastic teacher. If you have a differing opinion, he encourages you to defend it. He goes through what he believes are weak arguments and discusses how they are weak and what makes the stronger argument stronger. His class work is 2 things, discussion posts and tests that are based on the textbook. Overall, 10/10.

His lectures were very insightful even if you did not care about the work. He gave me and other students new perspectives which helped us form opinions. If you read the chapters and took the practice quizzes then you would pass no problem. He says hello anytime you see him, very nice guy.

Hes an absolute gem, quizzes and test were taken on mind tap, theres a final essay but its breezy, in class discussions were very fun and interesting, despite it being in the morning, It is a lot of reading, but for me I enjoyed it, but just keep that in mind when taking the class, he came to class prepared, responds quick, etc, no problems at all
