Reviews of professor Charles Knutson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He really cares about his students and will work with you until you understand the material. He wants you to have a passion for the field and to understand the materials of the class. He teaches the class like a Hybrid course. He can get a bit off topic, but he always tries to associate tangents with the class material and topics.

Dr. K is a cool guy, but his lectures weren't very good at explaining concepts clearly and concisely. Combine that with TAs that sometimes thought saying "just figure it out bro" was helpful, and I found myself spending a ton of time on concepts that would've been easy to understand if they had just been explained well. Your mileage may vary.

He's honestly a really awesome professor. Just don't get behind, because he didn't give due dates for anything in the class. It all has to be done before the end of the semester.

Lecture heavy, he gets distracted but loves the material and has fun. Class is structured to work at your own pace, everything is just do the last day of class. The quizzes are hard but you get to retake them as needed so you genuinely learn the material. No final other than a project due the last day of class. Made difficult concepts doable.

Dr. K is possibly the best professor I've ever had. It definitely wasn't an easy class, but he's an engaging lecturer that cares for his students' success. Grading is flexible, as Dr K freely allows exam retakes and doesn't bother setting deadlines. Possibly not right for you if you're a major procrastinator.

Dr. K was such a fun professor. Theres some reading and some really easy writing that you have to do each week (one paragraph, twice weekly). It was a really easy class but I just was too lazy for some assignments. He had surgery in the middle of the semester so things got a little disorganized but he was lenient with due dates. You must have him.
