John Scott GERS203 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/09/2024	While Dr. Scott is 100% an interesting and knowledgeable professor, I found his teaching style to sometimes be convoluted, as he often incorporates linguistic-based explanations that can be hard to follow. He can also be quite slow to put in grades if they are not assignments automatically graded on ELMS (i.e., CATs, which are unit exams). However, my German improved during his course. I don't know if I would take him again since his teaching style didn't entirely work for me. GERS103 and 203 are also A LOT of work, so don't take it unless you're ready to put in the effort!
John Scott GERS203 Expecting an A- Anonymous 04/04/2024	Tough class but a good professor. He does a lot to make sure that students understand material, although the "PC" quizzes that begin each class which are meant to see if students prepared the homework readings tend to focus on obscure, unimportant aspects of the textbook, (i.e. "what was the name of the character in this story" as opposed to checking in to see if you understood the new vocabulary and grammar). The class itself has a very heavy workload, would not recommend taking this course if you're in line for a busy semester.
