He is very unpleasant and arrogant. He thinks that he knows everything and shows no regard or concern to the students. His teaching method is uneffective, worst teacher ever. Don't take his class, take with other instructor. A person like him should never teach, he is a disgrace.

Dont like this teacher.. Would NEVER taki him again.. EVER!!!

No Comments

not so great as he was expected to be.

How are you supposed to explain more in a journal when there is no more to explain? There is favoritism in the class and the subject is supposed to be open-minded but he is extremely opinionated.

he is the worst teacher I have ever seen

1.0;2.0;3.0;4.0 just 4 level , how can we get the high score?

Worst instructor I have ever had, nice guy in class but a total perfectionist once he gets ahold of your paper!! INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS BEWARE!!! Nearly impossible to pin down in his office and if he doesnt like it you end up with a poor grade. His expectations were skyhigh for a introductory class

JUST.....NO GOOD...INTERNETION STUDENT....TRUST ME...DO NOT DO IT...

Teacher grades waaaay to hard for a intro class. Seems more like I'm being graded for a major. Avoid his comm101 class like the plague if you value your GPA.

Pretty sure Will Scott has "little man's" syndrome. For an entry level class, his grading was absolutely absurd. I worked so hard in this class and got a C. Almost complained to dean, yes this class is THAT BAD.

To not take his class, find another comm 101 teacher. His grading system is off. He gave me 74 for self relfection, how do you grade some one that low on what they thought. He is way to strict.

absolutely no help what so ever. Everyone said to speak your mind and all it did was give me a worse grade.Quizes were not based off of the assignments and there were plenty of trick questions. he might be an ok teacher in class but online was the hardest person to deasl with.

His directions are Vague and HORRIBLE.. I have never disliked a teacher more then him. He is very arrogant, I would never ever sign up for another one of his classes.

probably the most unhelpful professor ive ever had. doesnt teach you anything at all and i learned nothing that will help me in real life. dont take this class if its with mr. scott. i'm not even upset with my grade entirely, its just a horribly taught class on something that actually could be super interesting.

Worst experience I've ever had with a teacher, his tests on the book don't agree with the answers in the book and when I called him out on it he blew me off for over two weeks before responding telling me he'd "look it over when he got a chance". His explanations are extremely vague and his readings are unmanageable. AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS

Required us to read through 150+ worth of text each week for a test that only accounted for 10% of marks; yet the final exam (which we only have an average of a week to finish) is a whopping 30% of the total grade. This professor obviously has not idea what grades mean, do not take this unless you wanna skew your GPA big time.

Terrible class, huge workloads with minimal help or guidance.

This class could be super interesting, however, I found the textbook (America On Film) to be extremely biased and the workload was insane for a community college course on film. You cannot pass this class with an A unless you are William Scott himself. Period.

Honestly went into this class as a film enthusiast and wanted to learn more about it for my degree. I'm very disappointed by this class. Not only was this class difficult but his grading was pretty ridiculous as well. Also the movies that were watched were not all accessible for some like he said and made it even harder. I DONT suggest this class.

Super vague on his instructions. Laughable expectations. Really just don't take a class from him.

He's always the right and more "experienced" one. Your opinion is wrong and doesn't matter to him. He has that arrogant personality and also loves to grade hard even though your work is pretty much 4.0 material. All he does is lecture and then expects us to be more creative in our work. Everything just has to go his way or your GPA will drop.

THE worst teacher I have ever had in my 23 years of living. I had to take his class twice under crazy circumstances. He uses the same quizzes, tests, discussions, and notes. A discussion where I made over 90% before, and I got 63% this time. It took him less than 1 hr to grade my final that was 6 pages long. DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS! YOU WILL FAIL!!

This class was so bad. The textbook is very biased, and he expects very very specific details and will grade you down without giving feedback. Quizzes are insanely specific and you would have to memorize the chapters word by word to pass the quizzes. Overall this teacher is expecting way too much out of a 100 level class. Very time consuming

I'm an A student who is enthusiastic about attending my classes, especially communication classes. A few quarters ago, Scott ruined that for me because not only did he pretty much look down on all of us but he also graded so harshly, my hard work and what other teachers would consider to be "quality work" wasn't good enough for him. RUINED MY GPA.

Very disrespectful and openly targets students. Graded papers more on how he liked or didn't like you. Compared papers with students he targeted and those he favored. Most all the negative comments are true. Those he favored were not because they were hard workers, motivated, or intelligent, rather how much they liked his ideas and presen

CLASS: HUMAN 133 Mr. Will is a very tough grader who will make you feel like you're taking a 300 level English class. He's also really bad with posting grads or responding to emails on time. As a fellow student, I just want to warn you not to take any of his classes. I seriously think that teachers like him should not be allowed in schools like GRC

Dont choose his classes unless you want a low GPA, only genius can got A here

M too unfortunate to drop this class, 4.0 starts at 97%, and he will grade you depending on his own impression.

The worst instructor I have ever met! No feedback at all and his instruction of assignment is poor. Only one sentence for each assignment and even the final paper. The quizzes are extremely hard. He requires you to remember every single detail from a very biased book. Ready for a Fail if you want to take his class.

He is so special. He skipped one of my assignment and then just delete it instead of grading. I have never seen such talented behavior. Also, he wont round your score to the nearest integer in the end. Dont choose his classes even you have to change your whole schedule. He is respected but the abilities are terrible.

I can totally conclude his style of grading: give a harsh score and the reasons are always (yes, always) You need to give me more details and course concepts to support yourself . And guess what, I just answered my classmates about the concept in the textbook. Use more concepts to support concepts? Ah, good one.

Terrible teacher!

I am less than one week into this course so there are specifics like testing and so forth that I don't even know yet and I allready want to reach through the screen of this online course and ya know. He has required numbers of log in times per week, for starters. Then he acts like he's teaching a 200 level English course. I want to pull all my hair

Decided to take a gen. ed class last to finish off my degree and I wish I never took this guy. Where do I start? Grades assignments almost immediately and feels like he doesn't even look over them. Discussions and assignments are due 48hrs after assigned date and within 48hrs of due date. The most confusing and over worked class I have ever taken.

Don't take him ever. Took him twice and failed both times. If you ask any question to him, he will say read syllabus. Mean teacher ever! I won't suggest anyone to take him. Sorry, to be mean But it hurts when communication teacher grades you according to your grammars and english. He just won't everything perfection.

I won't recommend this professor. He's super hard on grading. And his reviews sounds mean.

Don't waste your time taking this class. I took his pop culture class and it was way too stressful. He's an extremely tough grader with really vague essay prompts. There isn't a ton of homework except for weekly essays and quizzes, but mostly he just isn't helpful and changes due dates and isn't very nice. Do not recommend

One of the worst classes I have ever taken imo. Quizzes test knowledge of random facts from the textbook instead of testing understanding of concepts. Grades ridiculously hard for what he is teaching, and most of the time doesn't even give feedback or answer questions. Essay and discussion prompts were often very vague. Avoid at all costs

I believe Mr Scott wants to prove that a film class is not an easy A. He was extremely strict with grammar/spelling/English errors. He never responded to my emails. Ever. I tried my hardest, read a ridiculous liberal textbook that makes white people feel horrible about themselves. Did my best work possible. Received a C. Which lowered my GPA.

Grading standards are extremely high, so dont plan on getting full credit on most assignments. All feedback/questions are usually answered with a general go look back at the syllabus statement. Very vague in essay/discussion prompts and expectations. He treats this class as if it were a 200 course, wouldnt take his class again!

Will is super intense with his work. He will mark you completely absent if you aren't on time for when he takes attendance, which if you "miss" more than 4 classes the highest grade you can receive is 90%. He expects too much and doesn't give clear directions. With this class you kinda have to find your own way through.

This is by far the worst class I have ever taken. His grading is very vague as well as the instructions on his assignments. He's not very helpful when you ask for advice either. He is a tough grader and it doesn't mix well with the fact that he grades by a few assignments. I would not recommend his intro to pop culture class.

He is a VERY tough grader and grades by a few things. He competes in public speaking and it almost seems like he expects the same level of skill from his students. His feedback isn't very helpful. You won't have a chance to make up for any mistakes. At the beginning of the class you do a speech and he grades it as if we already know everything.

Probably one of the toughest graders I've had, hell take off point and not tell you why. And when you ask he probably wont respond.

Does not update the class on upcoming due dates, gives vague answers to questions and tells you to "read the textbook," gives assignments that won't always relate to the required film yet will force you to write entire essays regarding the subject. I felt lost and confused throughout this entire class, and never felt like he actually cared.

Us students will face many adversity when it comes to our success in learning during these strange times; and I really believe that Professors are the fundamental key to that success. However, it seems that this particular class only provides extensive to-do list which is lacking that leadership that we need to keep us both motivated & engaged.

A teacher more worried about pushing his political agenda then teaching the subject . I took a film class before his and i loved it and learned a hole lot about film. In this teachers course you just get to learn about the politics he like's and nothing about film and if you disagree about the politics you can just fail because he disagrees.

son--I--I just--son pls, just don't take this class. 'M begging u. I don't think he understands "Life outside of class" and he wants you to be done with a chapter within 2 days. Find someone else pls and thank u.

Professional Scott will quite honestly go down as one of the worst professors I've ever had. A teacher is supposed to teach, inspire, and work along side his students. He does none of that. He answers questions with, " Read the syllabus" and "read the textbook". To make things worse, He's a harsh grader, he'll take off points for small reasons.

Such a disappointing class. Absolutely no exceptions are ever allowed on anything so be aware of that. His grading is completely unfair and "above average work" will get you a B-/C on most assignments. He doesn't care about his students, so be prepared to put endless work into assignments just to receive a low grade and no feedback.

Large amounts of writing. Always deducts points, never provides feedback. Does not communicate. Requires ridiculous minimum word counts, and outside research. DO NOT TAKE.

I am not even a week into this class and things have already gone so downhill. None of the instructions are clear and his answer to every question is to "look at the syllabus". I got an incomplete grade on the introduction discussion to the class because the instructions were not clear at all and when asked he was very passive aggressive about it.

A terrible teacher. Horrible communication skills, does not tell you things clearly and just overall seems pretty uncaring in how he writes most his emails. I got covid at the beginning of the class and told him I needed extra time with the assignments, he said he accepts late work. But now, he won't grade my late work and I need it to graduate.

This was supposed to be a very easy class but he ended up making it far harder and more difficult for the students than it had to be. Nobody ever got higher than 95% on any assignment and the whole subject was just about nothing. If you want to take this class, find another teacher and thank us later. Also the syllabus has extra credit lmao

Gave out A LOT of reading out of a VERY dry textbook. Assignments need at least 2 outside sources, plus txtbook. He does not teach anything and gives arbitrary minimum/maximum word requirements on assignments. I don't think ANYONE maxed ANY assignment. Very passage aggressive responses when you have a question. No extra credit was given.0/10

He has too much homework, and he is toooooo strict. Also, He doesn't care about his students. I will not take this class again. He give 0point for the first assignment because he wants to give us the lesson of more careful about the homework!

DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS ! ! !

DO NOT TAKE, he gives assignments without any instruction and will not answer questions.

Terrible prof, do not take his class!

Do not take this class unless you want to hate your life. You will be writing 5-6 pages every week and the textbook is the most boring and dry thing I've ever read in my entire life. He grades extremely harshly, and you will not get a single word of feedback on your work throughout the entire course. This class is definitely not worth it.

Want to be stressed out and not receive credit for your work?This is your guy then!Egotistical,apathetic,passive aggressive and abrasive towards his students.Grades given contradict his own grading criteria,incorrect answers on tests. And much more.The ironic part:communications instructor with POOR communication skills. Awful.WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

I thought this is an interesting class, but it is hella boring, you are supposed to write about same thing every assignment. Quizzes are pretty easy but his wording is awful. The due dates for the assignments are fair, but the essays are too long and his grading is weird because he always marks you down on not being specific without any explanation

This teacher refuses to give direct feedback. He lets us do assignments twice, but what's the point of redoing an assignment if you don't know what you did wrong? For a communications teacher, he's bad at communicating! He's apathetic, strict, and doesn't seem to care about his students. I used to love Communications, but he ruined that for me!

He is terrible at phrasing questions in his quizzes. Each quiz is only 5 questions wrong, so there is no room for error. There is also a ridiculous amount of writing. Most of the time you have to stretch to the word count, which decreases the quality of your work. Writing questions are also often repetitive. He's phrased questions homophobically.

I think this professor should be teaching PHD students at MIT. This professor is a hard grader, by hard grader I mean extremely difficult. His grading scale goes beyond his rubric, he expects you to complete your assignments to absolute perfection. It is essentially MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. I would avoid ALL of his classes at ALL COST

The syllabus was so confusing for this class, that I emailed and asked for clarification. He replied with "Read the syllabus". I dropped the class after the 1st day.

I tried to like him. But I found Will to be a corrupt professor & unpleasant person. He will interrupt you mid sentence & if you challenge his theories or express a personal belief or opinion different than his, he will become angry, & belittle you. Walking into his class felt like walking into a bad zone. Great professors are inspiring, not toxic.

While the workload is relatively light, the content is unfortunately heavy. The textbook is dry and assignments' lengthy word requirements mean you'll be stretching sentences severely beyond their normal limits. Additionally, his feedback consists of posting the entire rubric again. Extremely vague and not at all helpful.

This professor is a tough grader who expects perfection. Avoid their class if possible - the workload is intense, and they lack clear communication. However, Unstuckstudy was a helpful study tool that made prepping more manageable.

Strict with his late policy and it can lead to 0/10s on assignments if peer responses are not added. Tons of writing assignments about movies and scenes. Very boring to continuously do. I have had him for a popular culture class as well, but he is much worse while teaching FILM 101 subject.Professor Scott should find enjoyment outside of torturing.

You won't have the chance to make even the slightest mistake. If you do, your homework will be marked as incomplete. It's all about perfection or nothing.

What a joke. I chose to take another teacher for film and they threw me in this guy's class since no one wanted to take him. This is an English class not a film class so be warned. You can only pick between one of two movies that came out within the last year that both have rotten tomatoes scores lower than 30%. Super picky grader. The worst teach

awfullllllllll never take!

Guaranteed this guy plays video games all day because there is no actual teaching in this class. It's not about movies, its about the movie book.

This professor should not be a teacher. I took his film class because I wanted to learn about film, and I learned what annoyance was. He doesn't teach, all his assignments are graded on perfection and also are not actually taught, but instead give a chunk of text to read and a prompt to write. No office hours, no lectures, no actual teacher things.

I took a CMST-101 Class this 2025 spring quarter. As a 4.0 GPA student Will Scott made it nearly impossible to get a 100% on assignments. All of his assignments were marked complete/incomplete, If you missed the tiniest aspect of his assignments he would mark you a 0% in a heartbeat. As a very entry level class I would NEVER recommend this teacher.

Example: Discussion assignments require you to record a short video and respond to at least half of your classmates' video posts on Canvas. Grading is strict and based on a complete/incomplete system.

He was so incredibly unhelpful. Assignments were difficult to follow. I didn't get my book until too late, asked if I could still pass, and he basically told me 'I don't know.' He wouldn't use my preferred name at all, despite it being right in front of him. Don't take him, not even if desperate.

Confused as to how this man is still a teacher. He uses chat gpt to write all of the instructions to his assignments, and the way he grades them reflects that. You will never receive 100% on anything. He doesn't teach, just makes you read a chapter in the text book then write a 1400 word essay on it. This class ruined my GPA. Please don't take it.

Hate this guy. The opposite of a goated teacher. Swear he is satan reincarnated….. BOOOO WILL! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLAS
