Reviews of professor Scott Grether

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Great teacher and an easy A class! He's such a sweetheart. The only difficult task is the readings. I recommend reading and taking notes on the readings for the quizzes and assessments!

Good professor overall. Lectures are pretty good and the in-class activities are always GREAT. He is sneaky though. He won't tell you that he is taking off for cell usage or attendance until he does. TAKE THE SYLLABUS SERIOUSLY. MOST of the class is done outside of class and is a lot more work than it appears to be. HORRIBLE as a freshman course.

He takes the attendance policy way too seriously. He makes us do dumb activities and loves making his lectures way longer than it needs to be. He has extremely too much energy at 9 in the morning and tries to be hip and cool. He just needs to relax. He puts no due dates on assignments because "we are adults" yet he treats us like children.

He is the best! The lectures are easy to understand and follow. The tests are easy and he allows you to use notes. He also drops your lowest test score. Highly recommend!

Dr. Scott is an excellent professor! There are assigned readings weekly that you will want to read before his exams. Theres opportunities for extra credit (you just have to be willing to do a little more work). For the reading guides: complete them early! Also, Dr. Scott genuinely cares so much about his students and checks up on them.

He is very nice and I don't mind his class but I don't understand the way he grades at all. You either get a 100 or a 60.

Grether is the best! Had him for SOCL105 and SOCL241. He's super funny, nice, and easy to talk to. He helps a ton outside and inside of class, plays music before class, answers questions clearly to make sure u understand. He is a tough grader though, but he wants very detailed answers for written work. One of my favorite professors

Good: no due dates for anything, online open- note tests Bad: lectures like he's nagging, it is very hard to keep paying attention when he uses 8 slides to say something he could say in 1 sentence; pop quizzes on chapters are actually on precise info within chapters, he assigns too many readings (this is 100-level, he did not get the memo)

Dr. Grether is a GREAT teacher. He listens and is really good with feedback. His class activities are super helpful, lots of class participation/lectures, and a lot of reading involved. You are asked to come prepared with reading already read before but he rarely asks you about them. Lastly, he is sneaky with taking points because of phone usage!!
