Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Scanlon is okay. I enjoyed his class. I would definitely recommend his classes.

He's a good professor. Heavy on essays, and sometimes unclear about exactly what he wants in his essays. Homeworks are assigned about every week but they're very easy. He's a great conversationalist, and is very funny.

Honestly the worst professor I've ever had. I have him for a dual-class right now on evolution with another professor (who is amazing - professor Rose O'Malley). But Scanlon is an absolute waste. He never has a point for any of what he brings up in class. He consistently comes into class unprepared for the lecture. Worst ever, don't take!!!

Great professor. He truly has a gift for teaching and completely changed my mindset on the writing process. Professor Scanlon makes the class exciting, interesting, and even fun! His essays are a bit abstract, causing you to have to (actually) think, but he is extremely helpful and gives sound advice and feedback. He is always readily available!

He gives out mostly writing assignments. As long as you follow his instructions, come to class, and turn in all your work on time you will pass
