Reviews of professor Alyce Scott

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Scott is great. She was very kind and readily available when my group had questions on the projects. Her feedback is very detailed and helpful. I worried about not being able to make it through this material but Prof Scott made it understandable and enjoyable.

Alyce is an excellent caring teacher. Buy the paper spiral textbook, underline in pencil. You WILL be working in groups for INFO202. INFO 202 is a difficult class but you can do it if you are dedicated. There are a lot of high tech concepts, writing and readings. Just do your best and ask Alyce if you need help. Your group members can help you too.

Professor Scott was available any time I reached out to her. She provided excellent feedback on assignments, and I would take another class with her if I had the chance.

I don't like to rate humans, but Professor Scott deserves recognition as she is incredibly caring and devoted to her students! INFO202 is challenging, yes, but the exercises and projects are thought-provoking and stimulating. The projects are done in groups (my biggest challenge) so definitely lay down some ground rules and prepare to work hard.

SJSU has this weird grading system where they basically give A's to everyone as long as you display minimal effort. Prof Scott plays that game. The topic is fairly interesting, though wish we could have gone deeper. Grading within the 'A or A' system is unpredictable - she randomly deducts point fractions but you end up with an A. She's friendly.

As a student returning to academia after a couple decades, Professor Scott strikes the correct balance between high expectations & support for achieving those expectations. I enjoyed her presentation of this curriculum as well as her encouragement of and accessibility to us students. Hopefully, she teaches other courses in this solid MLIS program.

I loved Professor Scott.  She's a really kind human and really knows her stuff.  There are a ton of group assignments. Pray for a good group because you're in for a long ride. This was the only class I didn't get a 100% in this semester because group work isn't easy. Thankfully, Scott is a pretty easy grader. She's also very quick to return grades.

Professor Scott gives great feedback on assignments and is quick to respond to emails for clarification or help. She seems to really care about her students. Most projects are group projects. Readings help a lot with understanding course material.

I enjoyed the class. Prof. Scott provided review lectures weeks that helped highlight the important concepts. There is a lot of reading from the textbook, written lectures, as well as recorded lectures. The assignment instructions are confusing. I believe all the profs of 202 use the same ones but they need to be revised to be more clear.
