Jack is an awesome professor! He makes lectures fun and interesting! There are only about 4 tests and you get points for a few other things like attendance and discussion. If you have three or less absences he even gives you an extra credit opportunity. Really cares about his students and overall a good person. I'll definitely miss him!

I LOVED him! Even though the class can leave you a little confused from a philosopher, he goes out of his way to help his students. He cares about all of his students and if you are struggling he does his best to help

Comment:

There was a lot of outside reading, but Prof. Knight explains them pretty well in his lectures. In the honors course, a few students were chosen to be part of the main discussion, but you volunteer for what day you want to speak. 2 in-class essay tests over long readings, midterm (short answer & essay), and a final (short answer & essay).

The content of this class was so confusing to me, but the professor's lectures really helped me understand it the best that I could. He is funny, caring, and helpful. He holds study sessions for tests. The majority of the course is graded by exams. Overall, I would definitely recommend him.

Jack Knight? More like Jackus Christ because I'm terrible at philosophy and he's a miracle worker who made me understand it enough to get an A. Bless this man. Adopt me as your granddaughter

Professor Knight is the highest quality professor I have had at this school so far. He will grade you based on how well you demonstrate an UNDERSTANDING of the subject. It is philosophy after all. Tests are not as simple as yes or no answers or multiple choice. You will be challenged, but you will get an enormous return for your effort.

Comment:

Jack is so funny, genuine, and caring. I actually thought philosophy was kinda difficult but he made it enjoyable. I love the way he runs class by choosing specific students to participate in lectures each day. You sign up ahead of time so you always know when you'll have to talk. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Comment:

Dr. Knight is amazing! He made philosophy easy to understand. You do have to participate in class discussions, but you sign up the class period before. I did not find the class difficult at all. He holds study sessions before each test which are very helpful. I find philosophy boring but Jack will make you laugh and the class time will fly by.

I honestly wish he was my Grandpa. I went through a tough year with lots of personal issues and he was totally compassionate and understanding. He actually cares about all of his students. Clearly shows everyday how his only wish is that all of his students succeed in life after the class. Definitely worth going to chat for fun during office hours

Great instructor. Easy class for sure. Got by without doing the readings. There are two in class essays that you'll want to read for. Very clear as to what he wants in those though. Awesome guy!

One of the best professors I've had at MSU. This is my second class with Dr. Knight, and I really enjoyed it! The class is somewhat hard, but he is there for you all the way. Very helpful, and goes out of this way to make sure you get the material. He is very respected by students, and I would definitely take him again, if possible!

I wasn't necessarily excited for Logic, but he makes it fun(?!) to come to class! All work is IN CLASS. Do yourself a favor and get to know him personally--he is a great resource and an even better friend. It's Jack Knight--if you haven't taken him yet, do so as soon as possible before he retires!

In the honors section, participation is required, but you pick the readings and days you want to participate. Dr. Knight is an amazing teacher, but you do need to to work hard to get a good grade in the class. reading the assigned material is a must. He explains things in a straightforward manner and tries to answer all questions as good as he can.
