Reviews of professor Michael Knippenberg

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. K is very good at teaching chemistry. If you haven't been exposed to chemistry, he always makes sure to reply to your questions and slow down in class. There's a reading every other day. It takes a long time to finish since you have to comment on the e-text. I highly urge you to read the etext and comment and don't just plagiarize.

Overall, I thought he was just a very boring person in the way he taught and spoke, but I think that's just his personality. Its a hard class.

Dr. K is amazing, he is super nice and easy to follow. I found him to be much better than my Chem 1 professor. Though I feel like his homework on pearson grading is a bit unhelpful and getting it wrong 1 time tanks your grade, I thought he was pretty easy. Tests are mostly multiple choice with a few show your work questions.

Dr. K cares about his students. He explains things slowly, clearly, and will give you plenty of examples to help you understand. His exams are reasonable and he preps you well with the practice exam. He is easy to get in touch with outside of class. He does give homework after every class but it is short and actually very helpful.

Dr. Knippenberg is a very kind man. He is very easy to get in touch with and is always willing to help. I found the course to be very difficult but he tried very hard to meet with me weekly and get me to pass. His class is graded only on exams and homework which leaves small room for error.

Overall Dr. Knippenberg was a very nice and sweet professor however his test was extremely hard and didn't offer hardly any extra credit. Chemistry is already a difficult subject so If you take it with him make sure you go over your notes daily and constantly practice questions and be prepared to study for hours.

I was super nervous to take chemistry bc I sucked at it in high school. Turns out chemistry is so easy due to the way Knip explains his lectures. He really dumbs things down so it is super easy to understand. His tests are very straight forward and identical to homework questions-no tricks and simple problems. not much of a personality but idc

He gives you a lot of homework on mastering. The annoying thing is he teaches the material in lecture the day the homework is due and it usually takes 3+ hours to complete. The dynamic study modules are extra credit though which is nice. The tests are very hard and he is very boring to listen to especially at 8 am.
