This was by far my BEST math teacher ever! I went into this class hating math and not understanding much of anything, but left with a much better knowledge of it and more confidence.

Scott is very funny. Many days in class was non-stop laughter. But he is easily distracted-might be a little too fond of listening to himself talk. He looses time getting distracted, then rushes through the lesson. Best teacher for likable, not the best for covering the material in the time given.

A great professor who teaches mathematics in a decidedly non-mathy fashion (i.e., he actually manages to make class fun, and applicable to real-world events). Satake is the best teacher to request if you have math anxiety. Do the work and attend class every day, and you will do well. One warning: He calls out slackers and does not tolerate idiots.

Scott is a great professor. He is understanding on outside life things. That's why he has options for lectures. He is a tough grader though. He wants handwritten work submitted for every homework assignment even if it's done on my math lab. (He will give zeros if you don't have handwritten work). He jokes around more than teaching.

Scott is a great guy who is understanding towards students, but not so great at teaching. He often explains math concepts in a way he believes is simpler for students, using jargon he calls 'Scottish.' However, his informal approach only makes the lessons more confusing. He has good intentions, but his teaching style makes it harder to learn.

As a person, this teacher is great, but his class is a struggle. Hes nice, but theres no retakes, no xcr, and his hw is long. I felt like I understood everything, but would still get C's on half the tests. The exam grades will tank your gpa if you dont do well, + you can't turn in hw late. I wouldn't recommend if you get stressed out frequently.

Do not recomend thi professor! Hw assignments were often 4+ hours, there were multiple exams and quizzes that were a huge part of the overall class grade and they were hard! He allows no retakes and no extra credit. He has no grace and is not helpful when someone is struggling. Students including myself often had to teach ourselves.

Do not take this professor for higher-level math courses like precalc and calc!! It is extremely difficult to grasp concepts with his teaching style. He explains things in ways that make sense to him but it doesn't apply to everyone. There is a lot of homework. He is a great person but do not take him if you care about your gpa.

The class is hard, and you have to teach yourself rather than asking scott for help. He answers questions vaguely and in a way that makes most students more confused. If you don't understand he'll just tell you to watch the videos or ask more questions, even though he says he can help students. Hard to get a hold of and confusing expectations.

Scott is one of the best professors I've had. He is always willing to meet with you to help however he can. There is a lot of homework but it isn't too bad and completely necessary to grasp the concepts. I would definitely recommend his finite math class.

This class is completely doable if you put in the time and effort required. Yes, he'll tell you to watch the class videos or read the textbook before asking questions, because that's what you *should* be doing regardless. Scott is friendly, understanding, and approachable if you can show him that you care about succeeding in his class.

Truly one of the best math professors I have ever had! Calc 1 was not an incredibly difficult class, but you have to be independent- and he makes that clear. It's really cool talking about math with him, you can tell he genuinely enjoys it. Be smart about your time spent on assignments/studying, and you will be good- coming from a bad test taker
