In Scott, students find a rare combination of expert teaching skill, personal concern for every individual, and depth of scientific expertise. A widely published expert on ionization chemistry, chemistry of gases, and chemical instrumentation, Scott takes a subject potentially intimidating to most students and shows them how to understand both its theoretical foundations and its visible effects in ways that genuinely engage their interest.&nbsp;</p>

After receiving his BS in Chemistry from Taylor University (Indiana), Scott earned his PhD in Analytical Chemistry at Miami University (Ohio), and then taught at Trinity Christian College in Illinois before joining the faculty at Anderson. Scott&rsquo;s skill in making a course like <em>Environmental Chemistry</em> a pleasure rather than an ordeal is appreciated by all of his students. As one student noted, &ldquo;The course brought together many issues that affect everyone in the world, such as water treatment, water pollution, air pollution, heavy metals and how they affect us. It was a very relevant course! [Scott] gave us real world examples and took us out to sites where the topics he was teaching were exemplified.&rdquo;</p>
<p>
	Scott teaches his students skills that matter (and matter to employers) through classroom- and field-based inquiries into the chemistry of the environment, including sampling methods for testing chemical composition of air, water, and soil; analysis of chemical data; and interpretation of chemical data relative to assessment of hazards and risks to human health. Students in <em>Environmental Chemistry </em>leave Scott&rsquo;s course with new appreciation of the chemical nature of God&rsquo;s creation, and the skills to investigate and understand some of its basic chemical attributes.</p>

Au Sable is a touchstone of honest understanding.&rdquo;</p>
