Reviews of professor Scott Palmer

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Worst professor I have ever had. Whenever you need help with an assignment he does NOT help and NEVER responds to emails.

Best professor I have ever had. He truly loves what he is teaching,it is evident in the lectures and notes he uses in class. I always forgot to take notes because he was so intriguing, and I learned so much. If he could teach all of my courses, since most profs do not care/aren't passionate. He gives tons of extra credit opportunities that are fun!

Prof Palmer has his own website instead of canvas which is very confusing. Instead of his own modules, he just links articles from other websites and youtube videos which do not work most of the time and the articles are so long it, it feels like he puts no effort out of the classroom. He also has a whole currency system which makes it harder.

I took Flight Culture assuming it would be an Easy A. I was very wrong. Expect lots of reading and difficult tests. Other than this though, the class is amazing. Dr. Palmer is one of the few professors that actually makes you excited to come to class. He has an obvious passion for the subject material and provides lots of laughs.

Professor Palmer was one of my favorite professors this semester. His lectures were extremely engaging, easy to follow along, and easy to take notes. You must take extensive notes to pass. He provides tons of extra credit so there is no way possible to fail.

Took him for Stalinism last fall and it was my favorite class i've taken thus far at UTA. It's very lecture based so if you don't go to class you won't know the material. He gives review sheets so you know what topics to expect. Two exams that are essay based and two papers. He's a fun guy and I learned a lot would definitely take again

Took him for Russia Today. Out of the four professors who taught the class, he was in class the least and he was also the professor who taught the Russian history part of the class. There was three tests and a essay which was a book review from Russian history. From the little he was in class it was a good experience.

He is one of the most entertaining teachers at UTA. His lectures are engaging and funny. I took this class as a microbiology major with a limited background in the liberal arts, and it made me consider minoring in history. This is a lecture-based class. Tests are hard at first but get easier once you're used to formatting. Easy A if you work for it

Prof. Palmer is my hands-up favorite professor of this semester. Be prepared to take notes and read books & articles. You are screwed if you don't show up to class, as exams are 95% based on lectures. The rest of the homework is easy & fun, but exams are HARD. Study for exams!!! Exams are 100% writing-based, basically one big essay done in 1hr 30m.
