Reviews of professor Scott Sutherland

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
One of the best writing teachers I've EVER had. His teaching style is more "learn-by-doing" based, rather than having a "here's-what-I-said-so-do-it" approach. The readings are not tough, but you need to stay on top of them and make sure to check the syllabus often so you're not lost when the essays are being discussed in class. Highly recommend.

He's an amazing guy, super caring and respectful. He makes you read a lot, but it was never too much. I would definitely take him again.

Of all the teachers at PCC Sylvania who have full time positions, I could easily trade a dozen of them for one Scott Sutherland. I have never worked with an instructor who spoke to me like a peer and challenged me to become a better reader and writer in my life.
PCC needs more Scott Sutherlands. Or, maybe just keep the one they have!  : )

We had 5 essays to write. The first one was an introductory essay and we just had to turn it in to get 100% The final essay was about what we learned in class. I didn't see the grading criteria for any of the papers until it was stapled to the back of my essay with a grade. Class was over before the official end time. No lectures, just discussions

One of the best/most memorable teachers I've ever had. Not a harsh grader, and allows re-dos if your grader is a C or lower. The assignments are 5 short essays (one of which u get 100% for just turning in) and 5, paragraph-long reflections on the readings. No tests! But he does like to pick on his students and crack jokes, so be ready for that ;)
