Dr. K. is a great online professor. He asks great questions and provides thoughtful feedback. There is a lot of reading, so stay on top of that. Also, remember to answer all the questions in the assignments and to answer them fully -- evidence and analysis .

I recommend Professor Knox to anyone trying to take a CH course online. I am currently wait listed on his CH 203 class and I did take him for ENG 102 and CH 201. He is a great professor who is straight forward in his grading criteria but also understands that life happens. Definitely recommend him if you're looking for a simple(ish) CH course

Comment:

I took Knox for online CH 201 so inherently there were lots of assignments and writing & not much teacher involvement. FOR THE MOST PART, his grading was very fair. A lot of the time though I felt that he was docking points off my critical responses just because he didn't want to hand out 100's, which was frustrating because I felt I deserved 100.

Comment:

I loved Professor Knox! His class was relatively easy, but I appreciated his thorough feedback and suggestions. He always emailed me back within a day or two if I had any questions, and he provided excellent ideas for improvement on each essay. I highly recommend this online course versus the traditional in-class course for ENG 101.

Comment:

This professor does not help build your writing skills, but it is an easy A. There is minimal work, and the "mandatory" reading isn't really mandatory to pass.

Comment:

Honestly one of the greatest English professors I have had! Not only does he care about his students but sees the potential in them. I missed a deadline and he would immediately email me to see what was up and even gave me a second chance! I definitely recommend his course and him as a Professor!

Comment:

Hands down the best English teacher I've had. He's a Professor with a Ph. D which is unheard of when you are in lower level classes, always getting stuck with student teachers. He gives you an A as long as you turn in your assignments on time. My experience: way better than my friends taking Eng 101 with someone who takes themselves too serious.

Dr. Knox challenges his students and cares about them too. When I missed class for a couple of weeks, he sent me an email--only professor to every do that. I got back on track and passed the class.

Comment:

Knox is a nice guy. Online classes require students to be on their game, so don't expect much hand-holding. But he will reach out in the first couple of weeks of class to make sure you are doing ok if you haven't been preforming well. Also, email him if you have questions. He responds quickly and clearly.

Nice guy. Online classes are challenging and require work, especially when you take them on an accelerated summer schedule. The late paper policy is clearly stated on the syllabus. I've found his feedback to be useful, and he responded to each of my questions so far. Take the class if you are willing to work.

Horrible! Do not take his online ENG321 summer class! 1 paper due every Sunday (regardless of holidays), 2-3 discussion posts (400-600 words) due every Tuesday and Thursday. Rarely answers comments on posts or in graded assignments. Absolutely will not except any late work regardless of situation. Gives vague feedback. Tough grader.

For an online class, Dr. Knox does a great job. He provides quite a bit of feedback and will give more if you ask. He gave me a couple of 24 hour extensions when I had emergencies. Just remember to get in touch before the assignment is due.

Dr. K. is a great online teacher. He provides significant feedback and understands that technology sometimes fails. This class requires quite a bit of reading and writing, and Dr. K. expects you to do both carefully.
