Reviews of professor Andrew Knoll

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Okay, so this is the thing: Professor Knoll is a nice guy. He's charismatic and passionate about what he teaches. However, his lectures are lackluster. He doesn't have us take a lot of notes, but then grades incredibly harshly. He doesn't do a lot to make sure you understand the material. It's like trying to learn from the bottom of a well.

Professor Knoll is very passionate about what he teaches in this class. In the beginning of the class I found it difficult to understand what we were learning but as the class went on it got easier. He is a pretty light grader and gave us only 2 tests you get a week to work on and one paper that was filling in a template.

Very passionate about philosophy but an extremely hard grader for an intro level class. Would give essays and make them seem like they were self-explanatory, but then grade them harshly. Would not take him again

I took professor Knoll's class online. I think he handled the fully online class really well and everything ran smoothly. He seems to be a very nice guy and has very thought provoking assignments. Expect opportunities to express your ideas and to read/listen to others as well.

Prof Knoll is a very unique professor as well as a great teacher. He gives very intellectually stimulating material and had many optional Zoom's during our online class. This class was very independent study-esque with a few readings to discuss each week. He gives great feedback on exams and papers as well!

Knoll is a really smart person and he cares a lot about his students' success. My favorite thing about this class was that he doesn't require you to buy textbooks! The homework was good and his assigned online readings were interesting. I learned a lot.
