Comment:

Took Dr. Knight for Creative Writing and was very pleased. The woman is absolutely hilarious. She was a nurse and a police officer before she was a professor, so her stories go from 0-100 real quick. You write 4 original pieces in various genres and you're done. 10/10 would recommend.

She was an amazing professor. Lectures go by very fast, and almost all of the time you are out of class 30-45 minutes early. She got to know all of her students. Would definitely recommend her!

No tests are given, all you have to do is write the papers. She truly cares about her students and learns each students name. Works with you on anything you need help with. Makes class go by fast.

Comment:

I took her just for an arthumanities and since I like to write, I thought this was perfect. In this class we all sat in a circle, had group discussions, critiqued each other, and she gave awesome feedback. It's very open and laid back; plus she's hilarious and sweet.

She is a pretty good professor. She is very helpful and cancels class A LOT!!! When she does have class you mostly sit around and talk because she is very laid back.

Comment:

I don't think she was gender-discriminate, but rather had favorites. Class was fine, though she was extremely critical. Best advice--take her lower levels first to get some favoritism before this class. Otherwise, its an uphill battle from the start.

I have taken a few of her classes. I also chose her as my senior seminar coach. She was very nice and helpful. As a teacher--she is a jem. She was always excited about the content and she made us feel the same way.

She is a very open-minded professor. This class is an easy A. A few papers here and there, but she is always available to help! If you are unable to do something or maybe just having a diffucult time, she will work with you.

She is an awesome teacher. She's very easy. You have to write a couple of essays. Half of the class if going to be watching movies and your final project is going to be an essay on a meaningful song. She is a great teacher, Awesome!

Such an amazing and wonderful lady. I learned so much in her class and didn't miss a day or wish to miss a day ever! Teachers and classes like hers is what college is all about. I want to take her as much as I can and I'm not even an english major. Wonderful person, makes you think! A MUST!
