Comment:
117 was one of my favorite classes I've ever taken. Prof. Knight is engaging and witty, and I loved showing up to class. Tests are entirely lecture-based, but will be fine if you pay attention in lecture. Also super accessible at office hours and gives great advice; would recommend going to them

Dr. Knight is the best professor I've had at Cal. His lectures are engaging and inspirational. He gives real examples from his years of practice and shows fascinating cases. I walked out of Psych 117 with an enormous amount of new knowledge. I would recommend dropping by office hours because he really tries to get to know every student.

This is by far the best class I've taken at Cal. Dr. Knight is such an expert in this field, and he explains things in a way that makes them super easy to understand. If you GO TO LECTURE, it makes it super easy to get an A. And Dr. Knight and the material he teaches are so interesting, it's easy to stay motivated to go.

Comment:
One of my favorite lecturers. What people say that he's disorganized is definitely true, and that the tests are difficult and lecture based. BUT he is a REALLY engaging lecturer and a really good professor. In my experience some review and the discussion sections make up for the disorganization in lecture.

Webcasted so attendance is not mandatory, but you still have to watch the lectures because the exams are pretty much all lecture-based. Brings in a lot of clinical applications of the stuff we are learning so the content feels very engaging and useful. Exams are a bit difficult, but as long as you rewatch the lecture videos it should be fine.

This class was a lot harder than I expected it to be. The midterms were tricky and Knight is REALLY unorganized as a lecturer. I'd avoid taking this class if you can.

Awesome professor. Dr. Knight is funny and he loves to answer students' questions. Although he is not super organized, getting an A is doable is you have great notes and ask questions whenever you don't get something. I learned a lot from this class. Also the GSIs (Matar, Peter, and Lisa) are fabuloussss!!!

This is a really good class and I learned a lot. Knight's focus is more clinical neurology, so we spent a lot of time talking about pathologies. Everything is based on the lectures and the slides are mostly just pictures, so you really need to take notes to do well. He's not the most organized in class, but the GSIs balance that out. Great class.

My favorite class I've taken at cal. You can't miss any of the lectures, and taking good notes is essential. There is no way to get the lecture if you miss class. It's very clinical, Knight was a doctor. It's well worth the effort.

Class is fun, fast, and clear. Keep up, or you're lost. He's funny, and really available for his students. The material is hard, but I had no background, and I got an A without too much trouble. The GSIs make a big difference in this class. Make sure yours is good!! I think Knight's an awesome teacher! I never expected to get into this material!

Do not take this class unless you have a lot of previous knowledge about science in relation to human dysfunction! He will not slow down and he does not explain all the million terms he takes for granted that everyone knows!

Relys heavily on GSIs. The GSIs were horrible, unclear, disorganized, and always argued about the answers!
