Reviews of professor Scott Amiss

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Get ready to work! Do not take this class if you plan to just get by! P. Amiss is very passionate about the subject and he really cares about his students. He always jokes which makes this material bearable on a week day morning. The 446 material requires A TON of attention so make sure you study! 446 Tip: Study big picture, NOT definitions!

Professor Amiss is an amazing professor! Though his lectures were heavy, I found them enjoyable and learned a lot! Attendance is mandatory and you should attend; hence his class is Synchronous! If you seek help from him, EMAIL and TALK to him! HE WILL HELP YOU! His exams are NOT tricky, most students rush and don't read the question fully.

He is the best professor I've had throughout 3 colleges I've attended. The material for this class is really hard, but is super relevant to everyday life. He is extremely approachable, caring and energetic in lectures and made sure to get to know his students.The tests are fair as long as you study the concepts. I learned so much from him!

Do not take him. He makes a 2 unit class seem like a 5 unit. Any other professor who teaches this course will be better than him.

Avoid Professor at all times he makes the class super hard with just 3 exams and 1 quiz. Test/quizzes are timed and cannot go back to the questions also attendance is mandatory

honestly, DONT TAKE HIM!!! his grading system is horrible! made up of 3 exams and mandatory TA meetings. If you don't go to the weekly TA meetings then your grade drops (TA meetings aren't during class time). EXTREMELY TOUGH GRADER. his exams are basically meant to make you fail. exam average was a D.... AVOID HIM!!

This is the worst professor ever. He acts like this is the only class the students are taking. We were suppose to have 3 exams but he changed it to 2 and he gave us a final with 5 chapters on it. This is a content heavy class. He needs to lose his job. 60% of the class is set to fail and this is a constant trend with him. He should not be teaching.

Amiss is one of my favorite professors at CSUN. He's brought much needed positivity during these crazy times. 446 is a hard class, if you don't put in the work, you'll struggle. Dedicate some time, form a study group, take interest in the material (if you're in this class, you're a kin major), and you'll be fine. Be filled with the joy of living!
