Reviews of professor Colleen Scott

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Don't expect this class to be an easy A, it's not. How do you get an A? Study and read the textbook before and after class. That's all there is to it.

Reads her power points which are filled with extra information . Monotone voice , does not explain information in detail. Wants homework and assignments submitted by 11.59pm Saturday . Does not give credit for partial answers to homework. Strict grading. No office hours. Not a good teacher at all . Dont take her class if you can avoid it .

The worst. So immature. She acts as if we're in a high school classroom and she needs to babysit certain students who don't pay attention. She also hardly teaches any content. All she has us do in the class is long lists of problems based on the reading she expects you to do before each lecture. She also is blatantly rude and sometimes racist.

She does not have a good teaching style. The only reason I came out with a B in the class was because I went to her lecture as well as another Organic 1 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She does not give you as many resources as other teachers. You better be ready to do a lot of things on your own in order to succeed.

I'm not quite sure where the negative reviews are from. I have found more and more students wanting to be spoon fed, or believing you can pass classes just on lectures/ power points. If you follow the syllabus and do your reading/assignments there is no reason you can't get a good grade.

She was unreachable by email, I never got a response when I emailed her. For one of online quizzes it shut down on me 5 minutes in, and she wouldn't open it again. I had to go to the dean to fight her about this. Her emails were always full of grammar mistakes as well, having no professionalism whatsoever. Despite all I got an A+ so in your face.

Extremely hard class but the teaching could be a lot better. Mostly reads from slides and gives basic concepts. Dr. Cui made all the exams and put material on exams that werent even covered in her class. No homework grade so class is extremely test heavy. No curves, no extra credit, no rounding whatsoever

Professor Scott's classes are lecture heavy and pretty boring. I didn't learn much from the lectures instead turning to the textbooks. Professor Scott is impossible to reach via email. She is very kind if you show interest in her class but the opposite should you not. Her finals very very hard but the rest of the grading was easy.

Orgo II is going to be hard no matter who is teaching it, but Dr. Scott adds some humor to her lectures which made them more bearable. She does not curve tests or offer extra credit, however. You will definitely need the textbook to review material from the lectures, as she goes quite quickly through them.
