Reviews of professor Debra Knaebel

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Crazy amounts of homework. She doesn't teach, she just gives examples of activities to do and asks you use them to teach concepts she never taught you. She's a knit picky grader. Her phonics quizzes are ridiculous. Her lesson plans are unrealistic. Her assignments that are difficult and take more time are worth less points than ones that aren't.

She makes this class harder than it needs to be. Her lesson plans are ludicrous. I've never written more than a 3 page lesson plan, but she requires you to scrip them and include so much detail that their 7+ pages long! She's a picky grader. If I had turned my assignments to any other professor, I would have gotten an A, but not for her.

The lesson plans she makes us write are unrealistic and are basically a script. She does give clear instructions for assignments but most of it seems like busy work. Everything needs to be flawless if you want a good grade.

The quizzes for her classes are extremely difficult and precise. She picks one sentence from the chapter and does it word for word, so you are expected to find exactly that.

Dr. Knaebel is a very tough professor. She expects a lot out of her students, but she provides you with clear guidelines for each assignment. The assignments can be tough, but if you put in the work you will do well. She is very willing to help you if you need it as long as you reach out to her. I had a great experience in her class!

She is impossible to please. You will have assignments where she says the minimum, which would be more then plenty for other classes and professors, you will get nothing more than a C for that assignment. She is just so over the top with her grading and it is ridiculous. Nothing is ever good enough for her when it comes to her lesson plans.
