With the new overhaul of the ProCom classes, I think he did a wonderful job testing to see what works and what doesn't. As long as you participate and go to class, you're golden with Scott.",

Other interesting qualities include admitting his assignments have no practical application in the business world and leaving the classroom for significant periods of time. Not a hard class, just generic and boring.",

His feedback on presentation evaluations is very helpful. He's such a nice guy too - brought the class bagels on one of the last days of class. Easy class, but great guy.",
