Comment:
Best teacher I've ever had, period. Loud, abrasive, obnoxious, but effective. Lecture is not so bad, but if you don't know your junk for problem sessions then prepare to face the wrath. 3 years out and I still remember most of the stuff from this class.

Comment:
This is the most discouraging professor I ever encountered at NCSU. I attempted her class twice with several years in between attempts (post grad work). She is insulting, loud, and obnoxious. She writes sarcastic comments on exams and enjoys embarrassing students. Just because of her, I will be taking this course and degree at another university.

Comment:
Took class with Dr. Sylvia before switching sections to Dr. Knopp. I remain very concerned about her behavior. He jokes are inappropriate ( racial, sexual, ethnic ). She has one volume. LOUD. I found her to be insecure and immature. She is intelligent but some people just aren't cut out for teaching.

Deep and knowledgable. She is a rare teacher that teaches a hard subject and cares deeply for her students. She is my favorite teacher of all time.

Comment:
She's amazing! You just have to get past the fact that she scares the daylights out of you on the first day. If you're unsure of anything, gather your thoughts and go see her! She'll be happy to help, and she'll be impressed you had the guts to stop by. It's a make it or break it course. You will work harder than you ever have!

Comment:
Don't listen to other people. She is one of the best teachers I've had. She explains the material very well and is very passionate about the subject and teaching. The class does take work, though, with memorization and make sure you read the material before class. She's also a little crazy, but funny. Sit up front because she doesn't use a mic.

Comment:
Not only does this teacher suck at teaching, but she also plays favorites with certain students all while severely criticizing others. She is best avoided if you are taking Biochemistry 451!
