And regarding what a fellow reviewer had mentioned, I suspect all the positive reviews were written by James himself. So sad.

The only interesting part of this class if found in the books. If you're interested in the subject do your own research. Scott will merely provide the powerpoint lectures. He will also memorize and read of his notes. That is not teaching to me but reiterating whatever is in the book. He also speaks as though he were an actor. Totally unnatural. Totally annoying. I wish he would have given more insightful information on the subject matter. We can learn the lecture slides on our own. We can also do the reading on our own. We come to class to receive a quality lecture. He gave me a good grade but I did not enjoy his class AT ALL. I loved his class material but as far as attending lecture--totally theatric bore.
