Reviews of professor Scott Neufeld

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Class was divided by 3 papers, in class participation, and exams that are non-cumulative. I took the class the first time Scott taught the class. He seemed to care about the subject being taught Lectures would often start with a quick recap, that was not quick (30-50 minutes), lecture style is really structured and feels rehearsed.

Awesome class covering interesting and relevant topics! Scott clearly cares about his students and works hard to make the course engaging while keeping it clear and comprehensible.

He is a new instructor here. felt like he was presenting instead of teaching in the beginning, but start getting better. no useful textbook, only his not so clear notes but luckily he records his lecture talk on canvas. papers with interesting topics. we wrote a 1000 words paper about crazy rich asians' stereotype.

2 papers, a midterm and mc only final. In class activities every class so u have to come, they pick random one's to mark. only TA's mark papers, talk to them before papers are due! Lectures are super long and he's kind of monotone which makes everything boring. He is new to teaching so maybe he will be better in the future?

Scott's a sweet guy and has his heart in the right place. However, I found the combination of his monotone voice and novice/tough grading TA's to be a real downer. I'd recommend for you take it with someone else (for now) until Scott learns to navigate and lecture better since he's new to teaching.
