Actually cares about his students. You dont need the book if you go to class and take notes because tests are on the notes. Really personable and wants everyone to do well.

McKnight is an amazing professor. He is entertaining, keeps things interesting, and genuinely cares about his field and his students. The class was easy as long as you went to the classes, took notes, and studied for the few exams.

Comment:

Prof. McKnight is one of the best professors Ive taken at Stockton. Does not give unnecessary work or readings. Exams are easy if you study and the final paper is 6 pgs and easy as well. He explains the material he goes over clearly and gets to the point. Doesnt try to use the whole class time if he doesnt need to.

Gives 3 tests & non-cumulative final & research paper due at the end of the semester. Amazing lectures, shares alot of his own experiences from working in the police force. His powerpoints are scarce though so make sure you pay attention & read the book for tests. Tests are average, and he gives alot of partial credit if you show you learned!

Comment:

Bill is a great professor. The only grades are his tests which are easy to pass if you take notes, but if you fail or get a bad grade he'll let you make it up in some way. He answers emails usually the day you send it and his classes never go the full length. He does not put any grades into blackboard and you have to email him to see grades.

Comment:

This professor was amazing. There were only 4 tests and a paper, but one test was a take-home exam. You have to be at every class to do well in this class. If you have any concerns about your grade, meet with him early in the semester. He is a very caring professor and will try to help you to the best of his ability.

Professor McKnight was amazing. I would take him again. He reads straight from powerpoints so if you copy the notes from the powerpoints you will pass. Gives a study guide before every exam even the final. He is very understanding and will work with you if you have any concerns.

He is a great professor, he has so much knowledge and he just wants to share it the best he can. He cares for the students a lot and is willing to help out everyone. Class was easy 4 exams he always gives review and material is mostly from lecture so take notes. Sometimes exam stuff was in book but 9/10 was from lecture so you can choose.

Comment:

Four tests and a short paper are the main grading criteria, and one of the tests was a take home. Not the easiest tests in the world but he does reviews and is lenient on open ended questions. Cool, funny guy with a ton of experience and stories. Would take again for sure!

Show up to class and take notes of whatever he puts on the board. You dont need to get the book. Just take notes of what he has on the board and guarenteed you'll get an A. Great teacher, nice guy, and hes hilarious. One of the few teachers who truly cares.

Only graded on midterm and final exam. Extra credit given for both and he will give easy extra credit essays after the tests. Very lecture heavy and sometimes confusing. Gives a lot of good examples to help explain what he is talking about. Overall good professor.

Took for intro to crim. half of my 2 hour class period was talked about current events and not the actual curriculum. He tells you everything on the test. Easy A. I did better on the tests because I did an outline on the chapter before hand.

Comment:

Overall this professor is really nice & cares about his students. But be aware his class is EXTREMELY boring and if you take him at 8am you WILL fall alseep! Doesn't use PowerPoint, all notes are hand written on the board. Exams are long and all opened-ended (no multiple choice) but not hard as long as you stay awake and kind of pay attention.

Really easy-going nice guy. Gives open note tests and never gives any homework. Very few assignment... only had to take a mid-term, final, final reaction paper, and a literature review on one book through the whole semester. Again the mid-term and finals were open notes and didn't really have to put much effort in. Learned a lot though.
