Tech savvy. All of the resources of a distance learning class with the benefit of in-class instruction. straight forward on the material on exams. Understands students. when possible broadcasts lectures on web. You can't fail the class if you put some effort.
-don't bother attending class, tests are composed of his online quizes only. Expect a lot of Utube time fillers. Seems like he's more interested in advancing his product than actually teaching.
very helpful. uses various teaching methods including power points/slides/notes&videos. NOT boring at all, helps keep interest in lectures. You get what you put in..as long as you study and are prepared for the work this course requires you can't fail.
Does not have a degree in a hard science. Very dependent on his lecture notes, which are full of typos and incorrect grammar. Over simplifies all scientific concepts with child-like and personal stories. Wastes a lot of class time by showing up late, playing with his website, showing youtube videos, and story time.
He is a really good if you come to class and spend the extra time preparing. Does a great job at keeping it interesting and tries to simplify difficult material.
Mr. Ford is awesome! He put all of his notes, and videos from his lecture on his website. He also put all of his test questions on his website as an online quiz. If you have to take A&P try to take it with him!!!
I am working on my pre-nursing requirements. Mr. Ford is one of the best teachers I have had so far. He actually cares about the students. I didn't do so well on my first exam and he sat and spoke with me about how I could study more effectively. Just took my second exam, and I felt great about it!
I give him an A.
Mr. Ford is very patient in answering questions and willing to assist with any difficulty to be able to do well in the class.
Mr. Ford provided clear guidance on what would be covered in exams and provided resources to prepare for exams. He has a very personable style and will answer questions that come up during class. Sometimes his tangents kept us from covering all the material. We ended up with a lot of material to cover in the last few weeks of class.
Awesome professor! Great at answering questions. Makes tough material much easier to understand and testing as well. Only downside, could improve time management, we were slammed with tests towards the end of the semester. But otherwise a great teacher, highly recommended!
He covers all the topics that you need for the course. Very helpful and nice prof. the exams comes out directly from his notes.I enjoyed his class even the course Bio141 is hard but If u do well in exams, you will easily pass the course with good grade.I would recommend him.
I've had a A&P prof. who just lectured, no jokes, stories, funny videos, or life lessons, and it was like trying to insert a brick through my forehead. Prof.Ford keeps you interested instead of droning on a heavy topic. He has a lot of online resources that are really help. Very easy to ask questions.
HE is a really nice and helpful prof.HE covers all the topics needed to cover the course.If u work hard u can easily pass with good grade. I recommend him..
Great Professor, he deff has a gift for teaching. He is very strait forward with what will be on exams. His only downfall is that he is a little disorganized. We ran out of time at a lot of material was crammed in at the end of the semester. He also failed to e-mail us when our class was cancelled. But overall I would deffinately reccomend Mr.
The professor is really helpful. His teaching skills are really strong. if you follow the struction that he gives, you will be fine with this class.
Amazing teacher so understandable.
He's a great teacher. Just study for exams using his website and come to class to know what written questions will be on the tests. He not only teaches you about anatomy but there are a few life lessons thrown here and there. Study for the LAB. STUDY! I got an A.
he is an amazing teacher but a little too easy. the class knew every single question that would be on each test, so it was more memorization than actual learning. i do like that he uses the lab as individual study hall because i don't care for required hands-on lab time. overall, he knows his stuff, but the class could be more challenging.
He is GOOD
He is an amazing professor that truley has a passion for teaching!! He makes you WANT to come to class, and makes learning fun. I only wish he taught BIO 142 aswell.
Mr. Ford is a great teacher. the A&P website that he created is excellent, the on-line practice quizzes and exams are very user friendly, and the powerpoint presentations are very helpful. He is funny and clear. The only drawback to last semester is that he is very busy and was motivated to end class early, but otherwise EXCELLENT.
Prof.Ford is the best of best A&P teacher ever!!! His Knowledge of A&P is amazingly excellent & exceptional.He is one of the dream prof.you can have in your life. I feel blessed to have had his class. Great teacher, extremely helpful and show concern for his students. His course materials,website & power points are#1helpful. I strongly recomended
is the absolute best professor I have had throughout my entire college career!!! He is fair and makes learning anatomy fun... his class requires tons of memorization and practice.. if you are not lazy and do as he instructs you will earn a solid grade in his course.
he is very nice,study his online questions and do a lot of practice and u will do fine.make sure to know what to do and what not to in his class....
HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND EASY, JUST STUDY WHAT HE TELLS YOU, STUDY FOR YOUR EXAMS AND YOU WILL DO FINE
Professor Ford is a great teacher! He is very understandable and explains things you are confused about. It's not hard to get an A in the class. All you have to do is study and when it comes to learning the bones and muscles, make sure you start to study when he tells you to. You really can't go wrong in this class!
Mr. Ford is the best AP1 teacher at NOVA! The course material is hard and a lot of memorization is required, but Mr. Ford explains the subject matter well and his expectations are always clear. Lecture exams are predictible (no surprises) and there is extra credit. Lab practicals are difficult, but you can get an A if you start memorizing early.
OMG,Mr Ford is as easy as ABC.He makes the class interesting and gives u all the necessary infos.I wish he will teach 142.You just need to follow his instuctions and u will definately get an A. Cheating is a NO GO AREA for him b/c he makes everything easy.Pls take him and you will have no regrets.I have already recommended him to all of my friends.
MR. FORD IS BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD. HE MAKES LEARNING FUN AND INTERESTING. THERE IS A LOT OF MEMORIZATION IN CLASS. BUT IF YOU START TO STUDY EARLY LIKE HE TELLS YOU, YOU'LL DO FINE. MY ONLY WISH IS THAT HE TAUGHT BIO 142!! TAKE HIM!!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
The best teacher ever. Good for all learning styles. He has all his classes on video to review later, power points, and explain all clearly. Study when you have to, this is not an easy class if you do not study, tons of memorization for practicals. The lecture test "no surprise" all from lectures. Take him you wont regret. Love to Mr Ford & Anatomy
Just like the others have said. Best teach ever! If you want to cheat, I suggest you take another class(or he will not be a happy camper). He teaches because he loves it, and it's evident through his efforts. TAKE HIM, BEST CHOICE YOU'LL MAKE THIS SEMESTER!
Nice guy, makes info accessible, but gets far behind schedule w/too many stories and then crams in exams w/o much time to study. Exams are based on question bank from his website, and not always on stuff learned in class; rote memorization of answers is not the best way to teach. Still, Easy A, but concerned I'll need to do extra work for A&P II.
Hilarious, gives catchy ways to remember things, interactive, and straightforward! Scott Ford is awesome.
AMAZING TEACHER!
great
Amazing Prof. He hates academy dishonesty. He gives great links for his course and more. If you dedicate yourself, you will get an A. Thank you Prof. Scott.
Professor has the best interest of the students and wants students to succeed. He doesn't lecture from textbooks but instead has power points and other resources that are available to students that he tests from. This is convenient for students struggling with money issues. The professor teaches the material very well and is highly recommended.
Nice guy, tries to make the course easy for everyone to do well. However, lacks time-management skills, tells too many stories/shows videos that waste class time. Had to cram in a lot of extra work, and did not fully lecture on the last topics. Easy grade if you are reasonably intelligent and excel at rote memorization.
The best professor I have had to date. He has almost all of his lectures on video so you can watch them when you want, exam reviews, and gives you copies of all his notes. He really uses technology, posted exam schedules on Google, etc, you can take the exam on a computer or phone in class. Take him is you can!
Professor Ford is amazing, hands down!
Wonderful and amazing Professor. He takes his time to explain and his website ir really helpful plus videos to help students understand it well.
He is fabulous and interesting teacher. I got A in his class and his class is helpful and easy to study. he has plenty study materials and the whole questions comes from those study materials. you should really need to take my professor, you will like it.
Like a boss!
I really enjoyed Mr. Ford's class. Highly recommended!
Freakin awesome! Beside a hiccup in his website (cough, cough), he makes the class interesting and fun. Rumor is he is going to teach AP2, which would be great! Take him if you can.
There was no syllabus. He will say when the tests are on. Everything is technological. Practice quizzes/tests helps a lot in so many ways. He made my life easier. BEST PROF EVER. Too bad he does not teach Bio 142 :(
All that I can say is take him, he is one of the greatest and most caring prof I have ever meet in Nova. He have time to explain any question that u ask him,even if the question is from a diff class. I really enjoy his class,so pls take him. Prof Ford thank you very much for all ur help in class. God bless u and your whole family .
Professor Ford made what I thought would be a scary class, super fun! I'm sort of a "lifer" student and this guy knows how to teach. I'm walking away from A & P I feeling very prepared. Word to the wise-- this is only an easy class if you put time into it. An "A" is certainly not handed to you by any means.
He is the best.He has time to help and makes sure everyone is on the same page before proceeding. Lectures and labs are always fun. His extra advises helped me secure a job and also made me become aware of whats happening. "CRITICAL THINKING" now that is the word!!! What are you waiting for?????? take him!!! Keep it up professor Scott.
Professor scott ford is the best, i was so lucky to have him in bio 141 he is one of the most caring professors at nova, he made everything clear and he will tell you exactly what, when and how everything is going to be cencerning the exams. overall Mr ford is the best. i hope i could have him again in all my bio classes. thanks alot professor.
Professor Ford is the best AP teacher Nova has to offer. They should fire the other teachers and have him teach AP 1 and 2. He is good, clear, gets the job done you learn and most importantly you can do well. Take him, do the work and you will get an A. He is also an amazing person and cares about his students.
He is the best. Take him and you will not be disappointed!!
Mr. Ford is the best science instructor I have had so far. His lectures are so helpful and he also has lectures online so that makes it easier for students to study and practice questions outside of class. He is fun and it is hard for you to get bored during his class.
take him u will never regret
Everything is online. Lectures are verbatim in class. Will give you extra hints and tidbits in class, so go. Hilarious guy, a bit loquacious, but all around awesome! Take him if you can.
He is prepared on his lectures before starting class and is very helpful not only about the course, but also in every direction. I have never seen any professor putting to much effort to give his students tans of information not only about the subject but also about any aspect of life. If he is giving 142 I am definitely take it with him.
Mr. Ford is awesome! He put all of his notes, and videos from his lecture on his website. He also put all of his test questions on his website as an online quiz. If you have to take A&P try to take it with him because he is helpful and respond your text ,e mail and phone call as he can possible .
Mr. Ford is a great anatomy professor! I LOVED his class, I actually wanted to attend. He knows his material well, and the way he teaches makes it much more interesting. I wish he was teaching A&P 2! :( TAKE HIM for A&P 1!
he teaches very good. he is a gereat professor!!!!
Professor Ford is AWESOME! He's very passionate about the subject and learning and it shows throughout the semester. He also really cares about his students and provides all useful tools and information. You will not regret taking him and as long as you do the work & put the time in to study then it should be an easy A. With no effort maybe a C+?
Professor is extremely helpful. Has numerous ways of helping you understand course materials. Don't like textbooks? He's an outstanding website that contains lecture videos and powerpoints. All for FREE. Also, you get to have lifetime access to his online course materials. Class gets filled quickly. Register immediately.
Prof. Ford is one of the rare teachers that actually created his own curriculum. He has integrated tech into the classroom to such an extent that it makes learning easier. I loved his on-demand quizzes and exams (you need to watch the dates) He is energetic and really knows the subject matter which is always a plus. I would recommend him to anyone
Took him for the fall. really helpful, teaches what you need to know. Everything is online so the textbook is really not needed. TAKE HIMMM! Really, taking anyone else besides him is a big mistake!
Mr. Ford is flipping awesome. All of his lectures are online, so it's easy to review things that confuse you or to make up for a missed class. I do recommend taking Bio 102 before A&P so you have a better foundation for the material. Register as soon as you can; his class fills up fast!
Great professor! I was really nervous to take a science class because I heard how hard it can be but Mr. Ford made it sooo easy! All of his notes are online plus he has videos to go into further details! Need to take him! Really passionate about the subject!
If you're looking for an easy A I would definitely take Mr. Ford. However, do not expect to learn the material at all. Mr. Ford does have a lot of online resources that can be helpful, but he did not have a schedule for our class and didn't even know when the semester ended, so he didn't lecture on 1/3 of the stuff he was supposed to.
Mr. Ford is great. He is the only professor I have EVER had that has all of his lectures available as videos! He is funny, and really knows his stuff. The best part is when I go to A&P 2 I can watch the stuff he made for that class, even though he isn't teaching it.
Prof. Ford is an excellent professor. He give us a lot of materials including video, it was very helpful.
Mr.Ford is excellent professor, he made me want to learn and kept me motivated the whole semester. His material is clear and thorough and his videos are excellent. He is awesome.
I don't have word how Mr.Ford is excellent, helpful, kind and smart professor he is!! I strongly recommend to register as soon as the class got full!!! Tnx Mr.Ford!!
Great!
Mr. Ford by far the best teacher I've ever had at Nova or any other school. He breaks down the material so that it's so clear that if you cant get a C that means you were not paying attention. His online videos are a life saver. He sets you up for success and I wish more teachers were as half as great as he is. wish I can take him for Bio142
very nice teacher, he he makes the material and his power points easy so that u can follow it well
he is super awesome. his concern for students success is indisputable, he has a well developed integrated website which he uses for teaching his course and makes it super easier. He is like a dad of students and really cares about student. will always and even in my dead grave recommend him everyone without doubts. but i'm sad he is leaving Nova.
Lectures with his own made self videos,Explains everything very clear
Mr.Ford is a very nice teacher and he make the materials easy so that you will understand it very well, I would recommend him to anyone who needs t take A&P1
He is great. You only get what you deserve. It depends on the effort you put on studying. You can study anatomy in much easy way than ever.
Mr. Ford is an awesome A&P professor. He makes things easy for his students and he has a good sense of humor. I would recommend this teacher to anyone out there. He puts things online which is easier and great for us. You don't need a book for his class. TAKE HIM!
I really enjoyed class with Professor Ford. He explained things in a way that was relatable and easy to understand. His online videos and powerpoints were very helpful as well. If I could I would definitely take Bio 142 with him. Scott Ford=GREAT PROFESSOR
Mr Ford is one of the great and professors at Nova.He makes the class fun and interesting to learn, his powerpoints and videos really helps his students and the use of technology makes his class stress free. I will definitely recommend him. Nova should keep him to teach. simply the BEST
Mr. Ford really tries to make the course more appealing and the learning process less stressful, and does his best in guiding the students to more reading and audio-visual supporting materials, and online resources like no other. He has a reliable personal educational website, freely available for students, that makes it super easier,very grateful.
Mr Ford is a great teacher. All materials are online and it is easy to refer to them. He is making learning process fun and interesting. I would highly recommend him as an instructor.
Mr Ford likes every to learn. I wish all the teachers could teach like him. He is very dedicated and cares about the students.
Prof. Ford is a knowledgeable about his subject matter. He is dedicated, punctual, and gives clear explanation. He makes the material unforgettable. I highly recommend Mr. Ford for any student interested in Anatomy and physiology class.

Although this class was not an online class, Mr. Ford offered an online website that he created him self for his students. The website is very helpful has full lectures. Mr. Ford is awesome teacher, he helps with everything and prepares you for quizzes and exams. As long as you are studying, you will have no problem succeeding this course.
Great professor! He's funny, knows his stuff and encourages critical thinking! His videos are awesome as well!
He is a great professor I have ever seen. You can learn with fun. His videos are helpful for learning anatomy and physiology.
Professor Ford is awesome Take him if want an Easy A!!!!!
Amazing! Seriously the best teacher you could even have in any course!
Great professor
Mr Ford is an excellent professor he knows all the materials very well. Eager to help anyone who needs well only if you ask him. Makes class fun and provides various opportunities for student. His videos and websites are available to guide you even if you don't have textbook to study. Take him if you seriously want to make it easy but study too.
I didn't rate him while I had him. All I can say now, is having taken someone else for A&P 2 and the fact Mr. Ford is no longer up here.....I MISS HIM!!!!! So do the others in my class who had him last semester.
Mr. Ford is literally the easiest A&P teacher ever. He left me completely unprepared for nursing school though, luckily all my teachers review during lecture. If you want an easy A Mr. Ford is the way to go, but don't expect to learn anything!
