Brent Scott has been a Web Developer since 1998. Since 2002, Brent has been instructing students in Web Development courses. Teaching mostly at the University of Winnipeg's Professional, Applied, and Continuing Education division (PACE), he has guided more than 300 students, many of whom are successful in their fields. Please scroll down to see what some of these former students have had to say.
Brent was the first Instructor I had in Canada at the UW Web Development program. And my first contact with coding. A nightmare. I considered dropping out during week two (didn't tell him).
Brent is a teaching machine. Willing to explain to dumb students like me -always moving slower than the rest of the class- and always timing the class from 9.00 am till 4.00 pm. Non-stop, just for lunch. Sharp.
Brent has two bonus tracks: rock-and-roll and, for me, techy wiseness. He opened a new world for me, not only by learning how the Internet works but by how to teach adult students with wide apart sets of previous knowledge and make them a powerful coding team (even with a laggard like me).
Dear Brent,
I extend my heartfelt gratitude for being an exceptional teacher. Your ability to simplify complex concepts made learning a joy. While my career path diverged into banking, the web development lessons you imparted remain invaluable. Your Photoshop class, in particular, left a lasting impact, as I continue to use those skills to edit cherished memories. Although I regret not experiencing your teaching in person, the online classes were remarkably enjoyable, thanks to your engaging screen shares and captivating visuals. Wishing you a remarkable journey ahead.
Sincerely,
I hope this message finds you well! I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much I loved being in your WDD course. Not only you, but we also got to know a lot about your culture and background with your interesting stories. As a newcomer to Canada, your stories played a significant role in helping me adjust to this new environment. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn from you and appreciate the fun and effective way you conducted the classes.
Thank you so much!
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the incredible impact your web development instruction had on my professional journey. Your teaching style, expertise, and dedication truly set you apart as one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. The skills and knowledge I acquired in your class have been invaluable in my current role as a Software Quality Assurance Analyst, particularly in the realm of website testing. The foundation you provided has proven instrumental, enabling me to navigate the challenges of the industry with confidence. Thank you for your commitment to excellence in education, and for equipping me with the tools to succeed in my career.
Warm regards,
