Reviews of professor Chris Knap

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The final project is very hard! I got a C-. He said I deserved a D under the rubric, but that I put effort so... Overall I got an 85% in the class. 4 quizzes. 2 big projects. Homework every week due on Friday's. I'm not a journalism major, so maybe that's why I had some difficulties. I would form a discord group for this class for more help.

Took him for Upper Division GE cred and for my minor. He was pretty funny and would end class early. DO NOT procrastinate on the excel homework and the major project-you will feel pain and get roasted by him. Even though he is a picky grader and the quizzes are announced last minute, it was a fun class! Make sure you have a study group, it'll help!

Nice teacher. A bit hard to get in touch with for help though. Also a bit hard to understand for people who are new to excel. He's funny and a nice person though.

Counts for GE Upper Division B credit. You have to work with Excel, but he structures the class assuming you've never used it. Very easy and lenient grader. Four ten-question quizzes, semi-weekly homework, two manageable projects if you don't procrastinate (still did tho, lol). If you're looking for GE credit, would recommend his class.

He substituted for a class last minute but still managed to teach well and I learned so many things about journalism that I never knew. He is amazing!

Prof Knap is great. He's a little goofy but always pleasant. The class is great, you get the opportunity to work with public records. If you've previously worked with excel, you'll do fine in this class. He takes attendance at the beginning of every class so be on time. Do all the reading and you'll pass the quizzes. Take this class!

This class is interesting and Professor Knap is pretty down to earth, you have to keep up though. It can be easy to get behind. If you keep up with the class, and if you ask professor Knap questions in person rather than through email, you should be all set.

Stay away from him! He is very picky and even when you change things his way he always backtracks and does not stay consistent. Take this class with someone else who can explain things more clearly and doesn't flip flop on assignments. I was close to the grade I wanted by 1% and he refused to give it to me and I came up with ideas to work for it.

Show up, do the work, ask questions, contribute to his conversations with the class and you will pass. Sweetest professor thus far in my academic career, always starts the morning asking how everybody is before diving into the material for the week. genuine, funny dude with some good experience in the field of multimedia and in depth reporting.
