What Our Students Are Saying

  • Professor Scott actually cares about his students and WANTS us to learn Spanish. He is helpful, not judgmental, and creates a relaxed, fun, and enjoyable environment where we all communicate with each other. There are 3-6 hw assignments every week, including video discussion boards and hw quizzes that you can retake, but they are not too difficult.

  • Professor Scott's knowledge and energy are very prevalent in any lectures. He is easily one of the best professors here and definitely worth taking if you want or need to learn Spanish.

  • Professor Scott possesses an unparalleled understanding of how the brain absorbs information, a skill he seamlessly incorporates into his teaching methods. Under his guidance in English classes, I've experienced remarkable progress, particularly in overcoming my hesitancy to speak in unfamiliar settings. His innovative approach has not only enhanced my language skills but also boosted my confidence significantly. I'm truly grateful for his expertise and unwavering support.
