Reviews of professor Oliver Knabe

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
A really good prof. He's an awesome guy from Berlin that cares about his students learning German. I had him the first time he taught beginning German so it was a learning curve for us both. He had fun interesting lectures that were based group interaction and dialogue. Lots of partner work in class, which was pretty easy and fun. Highly recommend.

Since he's from Berlin he understands the difficulty in learning how complex German can be but he really takes the time to make sure every student understands. You do have to learn all the vocab by yourself and that will make the difference.

202 is a big step up from 102, but Dr. Knabe understood that we needed a gentler transition into producing our opinions and other complex sentences in German. We dove into cultural and social issues in Germany, reading texts about them and writing essays. It was cool learning about these things from a professor who's had firsthand experience!

Professor Knabe is great, he really wants his students to learn the language and have a great understanding of structure. With any language a lot of the learning is on you to learn vocabulary and grammar but he does an amazing job of teaching.

Nicest guy ever! Cares about students and gives super helpful feedback on papers. Class discussions are engaging and relevant to the topic as well as getting better at speaking the language as well. 10/10 recommend Dr. Knabe!
