Very Well organized, easy to follow. I enjoyed the lectures and found them interesting. His humor is very dry and at times sarcastic...excellent teacher though. I HATED chemistry before this class and have done really well with his teaching style. I would take another chem class from him without hesitation!

Excellent teacher. Very easy to understand, and really got the sense that he wanted his students to do well in the class.

I really enjoyed Mr.Scotts class. He is a big SOX fan. He has a sarcastic sense of humor. Follow his notes and read the text and you will for sure pass. His lab is really easy too. always willing to help. His grading system rocks!

Very good teacher.

Great teacher, yeah you do have to do homework out of the book and it does take a while to do although the homework is given for a reason, if you get the homework you will do well the test, I recommend Mr. scott he is pretty laid back and makes the subject pretty clear.

This class was interesting for me, it's not over yet but i'm sure that i will get an A. Very good teacher for sure!!! we did do a lot of homework but i didnt really have a problem with that since they were due on exam dates (4 chp at a time). I defenetly recommend him!!! but if you don't like to work hard then this class is not meant for you.

Really great guy who knows just what to teach. Another Chemistry teacher I had expounds way too much, Scott gives you just what you need, and expects the same.

Great teacher, easy A! Drops a test score and only keeps your top quizzes. Lecture is straight forward and covers everything on the test. His homework is lengthy but they get you ready for the test. Also, they aren't due until the test, but don't wait until the night b-4. If homework is done concurrent with lectures, the tests are a breeze.

One of the best science professors I've had. He makes it possible to get an A if you put in the work. The homework (extra credit) helps a TON for the tests and you can come talk to him anytime...he is always working. Took it during the summer so it was a little faster. Tests were reasonable, not easy but possible. Curves.

Great teacher. Lectures are straight forward and posts power points online. Does plenty of examples. Plenty of quizzes are given but only kept top 6 scores. Only complaint was that tests were way more difficult and 90% more conceptual thane quizzes so don't rely on just looking over those. He's very willing to help. It's hard work but reasonable

Homework is worth 10pts extra credit on the exams, he's never behind schedule, and he only counts six quizzes out of 10+. Great teacher!

This canadian professor is rad. Take him. I've had a few chemistry teachers and he's the best one. The worst thing that happened is he spent a lot of time on the first half of the material and so had to go quick over the second half. Long live Canada for sending us Michael Scott!

This teacher is AMAZING! He explains everything so well!! I wish all chem teachers were like this. Gives out a lot of quizzes but drops like 3 and one test grade. Lots of hw thats only due on test days but its WORTH it, you actually understand the material! TAKE HIM! YOU WONT REGRET IT(:

Mike Scott is amazing. He uses real life examples that actually EVERYONE uses, not just the chemistry in cars, or air conditioners, because he knows we ALL don't work with them, and he breaks things down well. There is a lot of HW, but there is in all the science classes, and it helps you understand it so much more. I'm taking him for all my chem.

Had professor for CHM 130 and he was great, however in 152 it is a different story, he goes way too fast, bases grade only quizzes and exams. Nice dude and all but not so cool in 152. We had a full class and plenty of people dropped.

He is a good teacher and very willing to help!

Awesome teacher. Explains everything in great detail and does lots of practice problems in class during lecture. As long as you pay attention in class, do all the assigned homework problems, you will not only pass the class, but actually understand chemistry! I recommend this professor!

Mr. Scott uses real-world examples and gives step-by-step explanations. HW is extra credit and worthwhile. Explains in more detail when students look lost, clues in on the lightbulbs over our heads when we 'get' it. His handwriting is horribad, but his dimples and sense of humor make up for it.

As a lab teacher, very spiffy for 152 Lab. He goes over how to do calculations, what numbers go where, and will even help you learn Excel. Easy to listen to, big on lab safety, funny, and extremely cute!

Do the homework question he assigns before the test and you should be ok. I made an average of 70 on all my tests and still got an B in his class. Can't say that I understood everything but for the most part he was funny and entertaining. I still don't like chemistry but he does a pretty good job teaching it.

Great teacher! The best I've ever had! He is very helpful, relies little on power point, takes the time to TEACH! He does have an attendance policy. He gives practice quizzes and mimics the problems for actual quizzes. I liked the way he only accounted for so many quizzes/exams, much more fair than grade curving.

I thought Mr. Scott made Chemistry very enjoyable and easy to get a good grade. He took the time to answer questions and made sure we understood what he was teaching. Show up to class, do the homework and you'll get a good grade! If anything I'd fault him on is being a little too nice!

Mr. Scott seems unapproachable at times but HE IS. Ask him questions and he will answer! Tests were straightforward and he gave bonus questions on them. He dropped your lowest test grade and only used your six best quiz scores. I didn't have to take final because I had an A by the end of the semester. Lab is more hands on. Takes practice n patience

This man is so smart and funny! Chemistry is not "fun," but his teaching style is so entertaining that it makes an otherwise very boring subject pretty interesting. His persona can be somewhat intimidating, but don't let him fool you, he really wants his students to "get it." I would take any class he teaches without hesitation!

He is a great teacher. Very very easy. Made everything understandable. Do the homework and you wont have to study. Make sure you do your work though, points are always nice. Other than that he is a good teacher, don't be scared to ask questions he DOES want to help.

Professor Scott was a fantastic instructor. He was always willing to help if you had any questions. He also offers extra credit points, which take up a lot of time, but they're great practice for his exams. He's a really nice guy. Definitely recommend!

great professor! really cares about students and wants to see them do good.

Very clear lectures, I only used to book for homework. Also homework was only collected as extra credit on exam days. highly recommended instructor

BY FAR THE BEST CHEMISTRY TEACHER EVER!!! I am not good at chemistry, I am actually quite horrible, but he made the subject understandable, he used alot of everyday references and he was super helpful! He gave quite alot of quizzes, but they helped you stay on your toes. I highly recommend him!!

Great teacher, he is really helpful when you ask for it. His lectures contain a lot of information and he goes through it fast, so if your confused make sure to ask questions, he will stop to answer and clarify, but if you dont you'll be confused and get aggravated. Mr. Scott is a really good teacher.

He is an awesome teacher! His lectures are very clear and he goes over and over problems to make sure you can understand them. I was a little nervous about taking chemistry, but I have actually enjoyed it. He is easy going and fun. I definitely recommend him.

Funny and easy going.. His test are nothing like his quizzes, the quizzes focus on calculating while the test are conceptual. very little of the test is covered in class. I found out that going to the book and solving the conceptual questions there was very helpful to his test style. EASY overall

I am not one that loves chemistry but Michael Scott is an absolutely AMAZING instructor. He seems to genuinely love chemistry and teaching the subject. He loves to answer any questions you may have and teaches in great detail. I think that he is a GREAT teacher and would take his class again.

Nice professor, nice smile. :) Challenging class, but fun!

Mr. Scott is a great teacher. He is very clear in what teaching what you need to know. If you have questions he is more then willing to help. Even though Chemistry is difficult he makes it seem simple and easy. I would highly recommend Mr. Scott. With the extra quizzes and drop test and extra credit it really helps out!

I had Scott for my lab class. He repeats a lot of lecture material every lab, but is very clear about procedures. He is fair at grading, and is helpful when asked questions. I'd recommend him to anyone!

Great teacher

This is an awesome professor. I had him for both lecture and lab. He is always willing to go out of his way to help you! I took this in the summer and with minimal studying I understood the material and got an A. I had a great foundation entering the next Chem course. Take him!

Chemistry is a VERY HARD class and subject in general. If I did not have so much of Mike's help I would not have passed his lecture or my lab. I got a C, however, I worked my butt off for that grade. This professor is Awesome! Go into his office hours, he helps so much. He drops a ton of quizzes, and 1 test, plus gives extra credit.

Probably the most reasonable instructor I've ever had - not a stickler for attendance, all homework is extra credit, he gives out "pre-quizes" to prepare you for the upcoming quiz, drops your worst exam score. He's also very clear when explaining the material and what is expected. A great teacher overall!

Michael Scott is an excellent instructor! He makes difficult concepts easy to understand through clear instruction and plenty of in class practice. He has great analogies to make the material easier to comprehend also. The key is to practice! Very much enjoyed his lectures.

All of the homework is extra credit. Since there is not 'grade weighting' if you do the extra credit, no reason you cannot get at A or B in the class. He drops the lowest test score and a couple quizzes.

Mr. Scott is excellent at teaching this course. He makes everything absolutely clear and easy to understand. If you study, his tests are very easy. He makes chemistry so easy!! TAKE HIS CLASS

In 2014 I took both 130 and 151 Lectures with Michael Scott. He was so great for 130 that I switched my schedule around to get him again for 151. -- His lectures are very clear and he does multiple examples of calculations. He keeps only 610 or so quizzes and 34 exams. In 151 doing homework (**essential to learning material) is extra credit!

as long as you show up to class theres no reason to fail the class as long as you show up to class. He is very helpful and stayed after class with me and help me with any question or problems that i couldn't figure out.

Professor Scott was a very helpful teacher. Lot's of quizzes but only 6 out of 10 count! Also drops lowest exam score! Not too much homework! If you do the homework you will get an A on the tests. Goes over tons of examples in class! Do good on all the tests, if you get an A with out dropping any tests you don't have to take the final!

Michael Scott is an awesome professor. Extremely helpful and makes sure you understand what he is tesching.

He is a really awesome teacher and he is always willing to help you. He prepares you for the testquizzes. DO THE HOMEWORK seriously.

He is a great teacher, unfortunately most of the grade he gives come from quizzes and exams. He does only count the top 6 quizzes out of the ten you take and gives a take home at the which should be a easy. However the reason I say unfortunatel in my previous statement is that I am a terrible test taker. If you don't mind test, then he is your guy.

Homework is extra credit, everything you need to know will taught during lecture.

Great teacher. Clear-cut. Lots of quizzes, but he does drop the 6 lowest. Also drops your lowest exam score of the semester as well. He goes over examples and tries to explain in a way that is not complicated. He DEFINITELY gives you many chances and ways to pass his lectures and labs. Homework is due on exam days, so plenty of time to get it done.

Very friendly and answers any questions you may have about the class. Gives extra credit on tests and only the top 6 out of 10 quizzes are graded. Homework is due on test day so you have plenty of time to finish your work. He is very clear about what will be on the tests in lab and lectures so study what he tells you to and you will pass

Loved taking this class. He is very straightforward with material that will be on tests and quizzes. He drops the 2 lowest quiz scores and your lowest test score. Homework consists of questions out of the book that are due on the day of each test. He's very funny and relatable.

Mr. Scott is great. I definitely recommend his class. As long as you have time to study, his major exams are very predictable and easy to pass, and easier than his weekly quizzes. The only homework we had was to write the answers to selected textbook questions in a notebook, which was pretty easy and didn't feel like busy work.

Go to class. Do the homework. Study. Not an easy subject but Mr. Scott is an awesome teacher. If you have questions, just ask, he is really relaxed and approachable. VERY knowledgable. Expect hw, but it's Chem so nothing out of the norm. A+ teacher

Great professor, he will answer any questions, gives you a practice quiz similar to the actual quiz that you will be given, he covers what will be on your exams. He also only counts the best 6 quizzes and best 3 exams plus the final;the rest he drops. Overall if you try, do your homework 100 points , you will fine. I recommend taking him for lab.

Just finished taking the 8 week summer course and received both an A in lecture and lab. Drops lowest exam score and lowest 6 quizes. Tells funny jokes. Explains all problems thoroughly and is available for you to reach him anytime by email or in person during office hours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIM FOR CHM130!

Professor Scott is a great chemistry teacher. He really understand what it is that he teaches and wants his students to understand as well. He clearly answers questions that students have and uses analogies when needed to further clarify. He is also available in his office when students need extra help.

Professor Scott is a great teacher. His lectures are clear and to the point. He has a way of not complicating chemistry. If you pay attention and attend class you will pass. He is a cool guy who will work with you as long as you communicate with him. Your effort will reflect your grade. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Scott is a cool guy. Don't know why he never got a chili pepper.

Awesome Professor. Takes the time to help students out.

Great teacher, interesting lectures that make sense, and is willing to help you out. A solid guy. BUT BEWARE OF HOMEWORK. It seriously takes forever and there is far more than is necessary. Cut the homework in half and it'd be solid!

Great teacher! Chemisty is a hard class for me, but he made everything easy to understand, he makes sure you know the material, and does a good amount of practice problems. He breaks it down step by step. I thoroughly enjoyed chemistry.

I've never taken Chemistry before, not even in high school, and he was awesome at teaching it. Many people in my class had taken university level Chem classes before and they all say that he was a great chemistry teacher and has a way of teaching that is really easy to understand the science.

Michael is an amazing professor. He is passionate about the subject and ensuring that students understand the material. If you pay attention in class, you will do wonderfully.

Awesome professor who took the time to help me understand things often. He also took me into his lab, midterm, from another horrible lab teacher who was tanking my life and lab grade. He cares! I wish he taught Chm151! He is willing to help if you ask, knows the subject well, & is a cool guy. HW is extra credit & no final if you have an A! Take Him

Professor Scott is an amazing teacher. He explains the concepts very well and has no problem going over things with you one-on-one if you're confused. He's hilarious and very straightforward with his teaching and grading style. I'd recommend him highly to anyone. He drops your lowest exam score too, which is extremely helpful.

He's a very thorough and understanding teacher. His lectures are easy to follow and his tests are short and focused on only what was taught. I hated chem in high school but this class made me actually enjoy it. He drops lowest test and quiz scores so its not hard to get a good grade. Would highly recommend!

This class is very easy! The lectures are very clear and entertaining. The exams are multiple choice and he drops the lowest score. You can tell he really cares about his students. I would recommend this class to everyone.

Michael Scott cares about his students. There are 12 or so quizzes, but only the top 9 count toward your grade. The exams are pretty difficult, but he replaces your lowest exam score with your average from the other exams. He gives extra credit and rounds grades. Overall, I learned a lot and would recommend taking his class!

Michael Scott is literally the best CHM130 teacher to exist. I personally was super worried about chemistry simply because I didn't do too hot in high School BUT Professor Scott was amazing and made Chem fun! I even passed with an A! There are four tests and he drops the lowest score. As for quizzes, he only counts 6 and drops the rest.

Im not really a fan of chemistry but of course I needed the class. If you don't do too well in chemistry I do recommend Professor Scott. He does a very good job at teaching and I loved the practice quizzes. His personality is a little questionable. You can't tell if he's a "chill guy" or hard ass. Overall I liked him!

There's approx 10 quizzes. If you show up- you'll know when you'll be quizzed ahead of time. The homework is from the book and there's A LOT assigned there. That's your best bet for being prepared for the tests. He really is a nice guy! He will help you out, if you just ask. I would take a class with him again.

Very accecible office hours. Flexible w attendence if notice is given. Homework is managable if each set of questions is done per lecture rather than all at once. Print PPT to take notes on, rather than writing from the slides. Quizes are exactly like the worksheets. Very clear about what he does & doesnt test on. Cumulative quiz grade is curved.

Took his lecture and it was great. Clear and to the point makes chemistry fun. Has power points; lectures aren't boring. There is a lot of homework-as in writing out each question. Would recommend for any one that has to take chem for a pre-req or if you're going into that field. Also he lets you use old textbook generation (I.E 4th instead of 5th)

Lots of quizzes!

Professor Scott is great at communicating the material that matter in his class. LOTS of homework and quizzes BUT the homework was structured in a way that it made the quizzes and tests a breeze. His quizzes had pre-quizzes that really helped to solidify the concepts that were necessary to learn to get an easy A.

Lecture Advice: Study practice quizzes, Do the homework(easy points), study quizzes and homework for exams, SHOW UP TO CLASS. If you have a good grade you don't have to take the final! Lab Advice: Before you take lab get familiar with polyatomic ions(this will help!), study labs for exams, SHOW UP TO CLASS. If you are lazy, don't bother :)

Great teacher overall, explains and teacher lecture very well, curves your grade, easy if you pay attention, he gives a practice quiz similar to The quizzes you will take. Always available through email or in person. BE AWARE THAT THERE IS ALOOOT OF HW (answers are always @ the end of that section and you have a long time till its due).

This class is amazing! The teacher is really good and super funny. He gives good feedback and is very clear and understandable in lectures. I loved this class so much it is my favorite class I've ever had. He is a PREMIER teacher. Definitely recommend!

Loved this class! The professor is really good at explaining things. Its important to stay ahead of the reading because that's what everything is based on.

If youre looking for a professor who is trying to make the best of an online class... he is it. His response times are not ideal but he does get back to you & with humor added. There is an app you have to pay for, for hmwk, quizzes, and exams, its like $30. You will use it every week. Its a pretty much do at your own pace for the week! Great class.

I had this professor for lab and lecture. It was online so some weeks we would have no work cause he didn't post the module on time which was nice haha. This class is a lot of busy work but its not too hard. You have to take notes, do homework, and a quiz each week. The quiz and homework are really easy, you get multiple attempts. Theres no final.

He gives Opportunity for partial credit on missed questions for exams if you answer it correctly the second time. Like any other, you have to pay attention to understand the material. Gives plenty of practice work before tests.

He does anything he can to help you get the most out of the class and get the most points you can. He is fair and does a great job explaining chemistry...I never understood it before, but I do now thanks to him.

He is very clear on what is expected in the following quizzes and exams. The worksheets we do in class just have to be reprinted and redone at home for studying. If you do that you will get great grades on everything. He is very organized on Canvas and in person. He also makes chemistry fun and has some really fun facts that kept me engaged.

I really liked this professor! His class was very organized and it was very clear on how to get a good grade. If you take notes and study you will be more than okay in his class. Just make sure to print out all the homework every week. He does sometimes come off as condensing in his jokes so be aware of that, but overall he was great.

He can be a bit condescending if you ask questions sometimes but overall he is a very good professor who offers a lot of extra credit. Would definitely take again.

Best lecture teacher I have ever had. He is funny and caring and relates topics to interesting stories. Simplifies chemistry so much and makes it so understandable. He's a stand-up guy all around. I wish I could take him for every class! I highly recommend picking prof. Scott, you will not regret it!

Great chemistry professor, I was able to go from fearing chemistry to majoring in it. Professor Scott gives great lectures and labs, prepare for an easy but very knowledgeable introduction to chemistry.

The best paper-salesman there is.

Such a great professor! Willing to help so much. Grades by effort mostly and work shown no matter the answer. His stories are hilarious! Such a good professor!

Amazing professor! I've never been good at science or enjoyed it, but I was able to get an A. He spends a whole day before an exam reviewing content and lets you ask questions. He gives extra credit on exams too. He truly wants you to pass and gives you all the resources to do it, you just have to do the work and study.

Only thing youll be graded on is tests/quizzes which are pretty easy. He also gives LOTS of partial credit on questions you do get wrong. Chemistry is NOT my strong suit at all and he always explained the topics thoroughly and made it easy to understand. 10/10 professor

Professor Scott is a great instructor that will go in depth with the lab procedures and explain anything that is unclear. Very attentive and is very fair on the grading, giving credit where due while not handing grades out.

Professor Scott brings a fun, relatable vibe to the class. The workload is manageable, with weekly homework and quizzes. unstuck study was a lifesaver for exam prep. Overall, a solid intro to chemistry, even if the online transition was a bit bumpy.

He is very knowledgeable and makes the content fun. The overall class gets a little difficult as more math and equations are added but it's not bad overall

Took this professor because of The Office ha-ha. He isn't like Micheal Scott. Nonetheless, he is a pretty great teacher. He goes into depth on each topic and always felt he went through each small detail which I felt I needed. He is pretty lenient on grading things and will work with you if you put in effort.

Loved him as a professor! Was super laid back and was super helpful whenever I had a question
