If you have Mr. Scott on your schedule- drop the class right now. He is one of THE worst teachers I have ever had. I did receive an A in his class, but that was only because I spent hours trying to figure it out. I had to teach myself the entire class.

Hilarious guy. He cracks jokes all the time to keep you awake. He's pretty helpful when you have questions. His tests are a bit challenging cuz he doesn't let you have notes, while there are lots of formulas and they're hard to remember. But all the problems on the tests are the problems that he goes over, no tricky questions. Just study hard.

Accounting is my major and he had given me the worst impression. His lectures made the material seem harder than it really was. His writing was too sloppy so I was unable to take decent notes.

Professor Scott is one of the best professor I took at GCC. He is extremely funny and he is very interactive. He tries really hard to get the students to pay attention. I understand everything he says. He is very concise and interesting. Before he begin lecture he discusses about real world business problems and I love how he provides examples.

I took prof Scott for Acct 101 and am planning on retaking him for 102. he's absolutely the best out there at GCC. All the other accounting professor fail to actually teach. I gained a lot of knowledge from Prof. Scott's class. Great man!

The Annual Report Project was lengthy! I got a B. Get ready to stay up and learn to summarize a lot for the annual report project. The accounting knowledge was mostly from self study. The lectures are sometimes a set of class problem solving sessions, sometimes a commentary on accounting in business, and mostly okay. Math is just math here.

BEST PRROFESSOR!!! yes his tests are difficult but he does similar problems in his lectures so if you study those, youll be fine. The annual report project is lengthy so start asap. if you go to his office hours youre most likey to get a 100% on it which helps boost your grade. I can't wait to take him for 102!!!

Great professor! Read and you'll follow his lecture. Study and you'll get an A. Start early with the Annual Report, show your initial output to him so you'll have a correct paperwork. Go ahead and take his class. You wont regret it.

Horrible Professor, I had him for Acct 101 and he doesn't teach, he doesn't make his students earn their grade, he passes them with A's & B's. Don't take him, his teaching skills are awful! He gave me a B and I failed and got D's in all his tests! Please take another professor that's not him! Remember you're paying for his lectures.

Accounting with Professor Scott was a pleasure. I had accounting 101 during the summer and I got a B but didn't put in much work if I'm being honest. There is an annual report project that took me about two days to do, but other than that the lectures were pretty chill. He only tests you on things he actually talks about. He's a super chill guy though and is inspirational to business students.

Easily one of the worst professors I've taken. This class itself isn't hard, this class is one hr and 4 days a week he spends most of every class talking about things that don't relate to the course. And doesn't Asign any he so test kind of blind side you. The test are horribly written. I haven't learned much. I'm still in the course

Took his class in winter 2017. Overall there were 3 tests, a final, and annual report project. He drops one of the lowest tests. It took lots of time and effort to do well in short semester. Only thing is the tests are lengthy worded. He tells you which problems will be SIMILAR to the test. I got a B but an A is not impossible. HIGHLY recommend!

Honestly a great Professor and class. He is a really funny Professor with great stories about his career. His tests are hard and you need to study a whole lot, but that is what you have to do in any class. His grading skills are extremely fair and helpful because he knows it is not an easy subject. I have taken him for both Accounting 101 & 102.

4 Tests, drop lowest grade. Score well on the first three? Dont need to take final. Tests are curved, i just re read notes and remembered formulas before tests and slid by easily with a B. Just make sure you get notes of the practice problems. Dont really need to read unless you want an A. One group project, pretty long but is graded lightly.

I rated him a 5 because he is easy, not because I learned anything from him. He drops 1 test and the tests are difficult. Honestly, if you are NOT an accounting major take him. If you ARE an accounting major do not take him if you want to actually learn something about accounting. The group project is stressful. DONT wait until the last minute!

I'm currently taking him in a short semester . By far he is the most amazing professor I had . I took this course last semester but I dropped because the teacher made it harder than it actually was. All you need to do is listen and take notes . He is very clear and organized . Also very fun . definitely recommended . taking him again for acc 102

This professor is by far the most boringest professor I've ever had in all my years of school. Its an 8-11am Mon-Fri Winter Session class. I fall back to sleep cause of how boring he is. The work is easy but he complicates it. No point in showing up to class all he does is talk about random stuff. Im still taking this class and regret it so much.

This professor genuinely cares about his students and does his best in helping us learn. He lets you know what to study beforehand so as long as you memorize the formulas and come to class to do practice problems you should be fine. He is hilarious and his grading system is extremely simple. Make sure to attend every day, especially on exam days

I didn't really learn anything and have no idea how I got a B in the class. It's hard to approach him with questions because he gives short responses. There are 4 tests and 1 annual report. He drops the lowest test score. As long as you do really well on the annual report, you'll pass the class. The annual report is what makes your grade.

I took him in the fall of 2017. As someone who struggled with Accounting, his class was fairly easy. He's so relaxed that it makes you relaxed. I actually remember what I learned from his class, compared to others. He's a lenient grader. There is no final exam, only a group project. I would definitely take him again if I could.

Mr. Scott! Engages students with humor, short stories that relate to the course. His teaching style is Read, See, Do. He gives the instruction, then shows you an example, then has you do the problems, numerous times till it sticks. He explains the material step by step, in simple formats. #1 out of 3 Acct. instructors taken at GCC. The BEST!

Michael Scott is a great teacher. He is the head of the business department and practiced accounting for many years before coming to GCC, so he knows his stuff. His lectures, albeit a bit boring at times, are thorough and connect back to real life experiences. His tests are straightforward (he tells you what will be on it) and he's a fair grader.

Took Scott for 101 & 102. If you are looking to learn the material, take Scott. If you are looking for an easy A, take someone else. I still use my my master budget from 102, with minor tweaks for different applications.
