Reviews of professor Scott Armstrong

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The content is really hard but the professor gievs a clear explanation. Easy to understand if you catch him up. HW is easy and very few times. No exam, instead is a final hw. Recommand!

His lecture makes honor class a really "honor one". He explains proofs and every concepts specifically while he splits it from the requirement expected of you. Exams are straightforward without any tricks. You can earn 90% exam scores just by doing sample exams , the rest of the challenging problem really examines your ability but not knowledge

I struggled hard in this class, but with help of Office Hours and an amazing curve, I ended with an A. I cannot stress this enough, attend office hours. He's a great professor with a plethora of funny stories. His course requires you to study the textbook carefully and attend lectures to really understand the material (in my case at least).

Very patient and knowledgable. He is very professional in this academic field.

Pretty good lecturer, but be ready to use the textbook a lot. While his lectures are great at introducing a topic, you really need to rely on the textbook to get through this course. This course is almost entirely graded based on exams, but the curve is nice at the end. Scott's a pretty funny guy, but he can ramble a lot in his lectures if allow it

He's chill as a person, but not that great at teaching. You could learn the whole course by just reading the textbook instead of going to lecture (you might even learn more). Class was curved but very stressful nonetheless. He does have a lot of interesting stories, but overall the class is very unstructured.

The class was pretty stressful. I don't really think I really learned the material that well because of how confusing his lectures were. If you solely rely on the textbook, you might be better off than going to lecture. His grading criteria is definitely vague, but it does work in your best interest, which is nice. Don't take this class if you can.
