4820023Scudder was my advisor befor I switched majors and he lied to my face about course options that i had. he's evil.
9920023An awesome teacher! Scudder is a keg of knowledge just waiting to be tapped! I cannot say enough about this man. He is energetic and a good looking man. If I could take every class with Scudder, I would. Scudder, he is so hot right now. I suggest everyone, at least once, experience Scudder. I think he is the greatest professor at RIT, he truly is an asset to RIT. Did I mention he is gorgeous?
9520023Great prof. makes sure you under stand the material. Walk into his office with a question and you will leave with an answer.
7520023He means well, but is very ineffective with material presentation. You must see him outside of class to do well.

6520012He is the Devil
6120011Scudder teaches like sh#t. He startsd in the middle and ends somewhere in the clouds. He is a pain in the a$$ to understand and doesbt explain things well.
5320011Quoting Scudder "I get payed to be a j*rk (this site will not let me write the word) and make it tough for you guys." Actual comment he made in class. Gee, thats funny. I thought he was payed to teach us. Will spend most of your time doing plenty of homework, taking a few hours to complete each one but worth hardly anything towards your grade. A special tutoring help class type thing was setup just because he was that bad of a teacher. Avoid him, take statics at another college if you have to.
6120011He is one of the worst teachers i have had. It's not that you don't understand the material and know how to do it, it's just that you dont have enought time to complete the tests. When a student complained about not having enought time to finish a test, he said something like" i expected the majority of the class not to finsih." What is that junk, I pay the school $13,000 a year to learn, not to fail because some teacher has a attitude problem. Also when you question him about why you got something wrong on a test he gets mad and changes the subject. You spend hours on homework assingments but they hardly impact your grade. Another thing is that someone can not do any homework and still pass, that is truly unfair to the students who take the time to do the assignments. Also i have never heard a teacher say that they get paid to be a j*rk.
