Reviews of professor Taylor Scott

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I really did not like Prof Taylor. He had a lot of cringe-humor that would fall flat and was an annoying lecturer. I would have dropped this class if it wasn't required for the COGS major.

THE MOST APPROACHABLE PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD. He was super nice and very inviting for interaction. He had 3-4 core assignments and 3-4 participation assignments. Data vis isn't something that's easy to pick up and the assignments were lengthy, but it is handy and the grades are forgiving enough. Felt like I learned something.

This was my first course with Professor Scott and he has exceeded my expectations for a what I would consider a great professor. He is very caring, supportive, and understanding and is truly passionate about what he teaches. He answered every question with ease while also expanding on the subject to further our learning. I would 100% recommend him!

Professor Scott is amazing and very funnny. He genuinely cares about student success. You do have to go to class and do the readings but the readings are usually short. Plus, he will never ask you to buy a book. If you attend class, read the assignment instruction, and the syllabus, you will have everything you need to know to succeed in his class.

I haven't yet finished this course, but I can definitely say that this professor has been one of my favorites at UCSD. Not only is Professor Scott very personable and funny, but he also gives amazing and easy to follow lectures. I am not one to really ever attend lectures, but even though it isn't mandatory in this class I still look forward to it.

Professor Scott Taylor was an awesome professor I had for COGS 10 in Fall 2019. He's hilarious and can easily relate to the students overall. Lectures felt more of a discussion rather than a typical lecture in my opinion. Short assignments, short quizzes, and a take-home final that was based on past quizzes. Take him if you have a chance!

Hands down one of the coolest professor within the Cog Sci department. Professor Scott is very straightforward and presents great yet humorous lectures almost everyday of lecture. I enjoy his style of instructing because it isn't overbearing but rather stimulating.
