this was the hardest class at occ. i havent failed a single class in my life and i got an F in his class. terrible!!!!his test are really hard and his extra credit is impossible to recieve credit on.

He is awful, he needs to just retire. He uses alot of profane languange and laughs about it. He doesn't teach well but is very smart. I would not recommend him at all.

worst teacher i've ever had! he is too smart to teach a 100 level class. he uses vobabulary that is over everyone's level so no one understands what he is talking about. very frustrating and HORRIBLE!

this guy is one of the worst teachers at occ. more profanity than teaching. not helpful will uses intimidation and single you out just for kicks. the test are hard, his grading system is the worst..why this guy still teaches i have no idea..avoid at all cost!

I hate this man, very profane and narrow minded. Not reasonable at all on make ups, had to go to dept. head to take final. Says his language is "classic" but it's just unclear (this coming from an English major who loves Shakespeare) Won't learn anything useful, test are very confusing, no matter how well you know the material, they're still hard.

I have never seen such a egotistical, never wrong, dont question him, kind of man. If you want to take a class that lets you sit there and listen to CRAZY babbling about drugs, guns, and attacks on religion. Take this class. It was fun to listen to him. He made me appreciate my beliefs and to solidify them.

I have never in my history of schooling had to deal with such an arrogant, rude and unprofessional professor. He uses profanity, singles out students to embarrass them. If you want to pass with anything better then a D, DO NOT take this class. Out of our class of 40 there were 6 C's; the rest, all 34 of us got D's. Why is this guy still teaching???

I had a great deal of trouble following him during the lectures, and wound up taking an average of 4 pgs of notes per day. It's nearly impossible to retain much of that info when you're writing like a speed demon, and, unfortunately, he doesn't care. He also appears to grade the tests according to what kind of mood he's in that day.

Scott was hard to follow, since he talked as much about himself & his pets as he did about philosophy (the "my rats need beer," comment came at least twice per week). He also boasts about how our school admin has tried unsuccessfully to get rid of him. I've got a good idea why having sat thru his course, and would only recommend him to masochists.

I found Mr. Scott to be obnoxious and rude, treating his class as though they were being graced by a genius (him). DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE MISERABLE!

Close-minded...b@tches about others not being open-minded.Got an A.Have no respect for him.There are classy ways to get through to ppl,& there are his.Cussing was so childish & forced.If anything is remotely acceptable by a majority of people, he'll be right there attacking it. His class was nothing more than a platform to complain about the world.

He was extremely unclear

I came out of my way to come here and help you guys stay away from this man. He failed the majority of essay in our class. Now I have to drop. Take his class if you don't believe me and if you like his teaching style, great, more power to you! It just wasn't for me...or anyone else in my class.

horrible! only two essays and everyone in the class got Ds! i dropped the class because there was no way i would have passed! he gave a pop quiz, because no one had done the reading, that was worth 50% of an essay. STAY AWAY!

He locks you out of test if your late, gets mad if you ask questions, he does not allocate is time properly. He pushed Chapter 4 into 1 1/2 weeks and made us take a finial test primarily on chapter 4. The man is a poor example of a teacher and should reconsider his sad existence. All he talks about are his LSD trips and he uses alot of profanity.

Scott loves himself, and his own ways of thinking. He doesn't really take into thought what you're argument is. But don't get me wrong, he loves a good argument. Some would even walk out of the class because they got too frustrated with him. I found it quite hilarious at times He lets you know he loved LSD in his past. Don't understand how i passed

If you are not interested in philosophy, you should not take this class! He is hard to follow, his lectures don't make sense, he is not very helpful and the only right way of thinking, is his way of thinking. He thinks that he is God and make sure you write all of his definitions verbatim, or you will not pass his tests. Don't take this class!!

This professor is horrible! He does not use email, he getts all bent out of shape when you disagree with him, and he continues to be convinced he is the only right person in the room unless you agree with him! The final was on the material covered over the last week and a half of class! He is horrible!

Professor angers quite easily, and gets very combative when you don't agree with him. Speaks often of things that are not appropriate. He gave everyone that I asked a D for lack of participation but became angry when anyone made comments.

THE MOST USELESS TEACHER IN THE WORLD. The only right answers are whatever comes out of his mouth. He frequently talks about unnecessary off- topic things and gets angry if you disagree with him. The extra credit assignment is the most ridiculous thing a teacher can ask for. Tests were alright if you study. He wouldnt excuse my absence for juryduty

This professor in mid lecture will start talking about useless unrelated topics about his personal life. He would often tell the class about his drug abusing daugher,how his son wont talk to him,& his mistakes as a father. He gets mad when people ask questions and makes them feel like a fool because they dont understand what hes trying to convey.

This class is pretty easy if you take it with someone else, he does not admit his own mistakes when he does grades wrong and argues for no reason, i have no respect for this man at all what so ever, i did the work and helped student in his class and ended up with a B because he said i did not turn in some of the work then argued with me.

He is santa claus with a dsyfunctional childhood and too many drugs. Is this class for real? If this class was a cold, it would be the swine flu

this professor was far the worst teacher i have ever had in my entire life. i have had worse and still able to pass with c in the classes. this teacher is worthless he gave me a F and i was their everyday did the extra credit never missed and still didnt pass me. the material he teaches is hard. i dont recommend to anyone!!! stay away take English.

This gentlemen without a doubt stimulates your thought process. Although, his ability to convey the information required to pass his class with an A is absent. He unfortunately is so upset with his childhood and the government that he brings it to class. His rational discourse is a fallacy because his teaching style does not reflect his character.

Dont do it....

Worst teacher ever!! He talks about drugs & his wifes sex life 90% of the class. I thought at 1st he was gonna be my favorite but NO WAY! Then you have an extra cred option that takes 8-12 hrs &if u miss 1 step you get no points.Thats what happened to me. And u have no homework only written tests that have to be answered word for word or its wrong

Worst professor I have had. Not because of his politics, or his swearing, or any of those complaints others have made, but because he is not a teacher and does not teach. He is not interested in helping students learn, he is interested in how he can use his classroom and his position as professor to boost his ego. Period.

He was hard, and used the book in class but it was very hard to study and review for test because you never know if you answered the practice questions correctly. I would suggest another professor

This guy doesnt know how to teach. He went on and on about the type of women he would like to meet and talks about his gun collections...wasting student time and money. Not sure why OCC still keep him around. He is not a good representative to OCC. Please let him go and save us the headache. Most unprofessional professor I've met.
