Reviews of professor Kathryn Knowles

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I think Knowles' lectures are a bit more helpful than Matson's. Both professors are very accessible outside of class. There are a bunch of opportunities for extra credit.

I left Dr. H's class thinking I'd have a better experience in CHEM 132. Let me tell you, that was a funny assumption... I was so wrong. The average for every exam was consistently below 50%, and that really shows how horrendous the class was. The only reason I survived this class was because of the extra credit. I don't recommend this class at all.

Unlike the other 132 prof, she's actually a nice person and cares about you. However, this doesn't erase the fact that she is a terrible teacher. She speeds through slides, makes test questions so hard and long that no one finishes the exam, and doesn't know how to use a mic. She doesn't know how to do her own problems, but expects us to. Pray.

Lots of the reviews are a bit harsh. I'll give a real review. Knowles is an okay professor. Not the best, but not as and as some of the other reviews. Knowles is probably at her best at thermo and worst at quantum mechanics. Other than teaching, Knowles is very nice and is patient with teaching (since Knowles teaches the harder concepts).

Knowles is very caring of her students. She sometimes included problems students had trouble doing. She is not very good at teaching though. Her lectures are fast paced and some of her test questions felt like they weren't representative of the content learned. Overall, I think she needs time to become a better professor.

Super sweet and accommodating professor. I understand it was her first year teaching, which shows. She goes through complex lectures quickly and really likes calculus for some reason. I believe she could be a great teacher once she gets more familiarity to students. Tests were tough, but with the amount of extra credit, 132 should be an easy A.
