work, work work!

she's very helpful when you ask questions like email you and stuff..not very hard on grading essays..just do the work and you'll be fine.

What a fantastic teacher! She is always asking "SO WHAT" but it helped me to be a better writer. I loved her choice of topics especially SuperSize Me!

I thought she was great. She kept me motivated and interested in the class. She lets you fix your mistakes for a better grade, that was huge.

Anita is a terrific instructor. Yes the class is tough - but it's HISTORY and History IS tough. The tests are essay, but if you read it, you're ready. Anita, as a person: she is laid back, caring, tough and always there to help...all great qualities!

Nice once you get to know her, book was horrible and boring to read.

Great class, informative and fun. She's a good teacher and seems to want students to learn and pass. Book OK, lectures very helpful, good films, presentations fun. Can pass essay exams if read and take notes.

She is an awesome teacher... will help you on your essay's after class. Those who say she isn't a good teacher are the slackers. If you show up, do your work... you will get an A. She even lets us out early most classes... she isn't a tough teacher at all.

Yes, she does read from the book. However, you go home read the chapter and then she goes over the important areas for notes. Like what will be on the test. Then she will play a video for the class on that section. It was so helpful. After class if you had questions she would help answer them for you. Essay test questions she gives ahead of time.

Professor Knudson is a wonderful teacher. She expects allot from her students, however she's also very fair in her grading. Very easy-going, laid back, great sense of humor. All she asks for is to come to class prepared (i.e. read the assigned material). She made learning history allot of fun. Thanks Prof. Knudson!!!

Good history teacher, she makes it interesting and helps you learn. Need to read and textbook hard to follow, but she goes over to put in order. Tests aren't hard if you read and she's a fair grader. A good choice for a required class.

Good class. Mrs. K offered good sources, like films, books, lectures, to learn from, which I did. Essay exams not easy; she expects a lot, tho not much more than should be in a college class. I'd take her again if I needed more history.

Lots of interesting info given in this class. I liked the methods Mrs. K used along with text, like the extra readings that were relevant and interesting. Like most classes, this one's easy to pass if you just do the work and go to class.

Interesting and fairly easy summer class. Analyses not difficult, essay exams easy since Mrs. K let us bring notes, and presentations fun. Compared to some profs, she was clear and took time to explain things if asked. I'd definitely take her class again.

Anita is a gr8 teacher.She does go off the book BUT provides vid.,artcls,&websts 2 incorp evrythng 2 help make it clearer.The essay exams are hard BUT she goes over them prior 2 the test OR hints 2 what the ?'s might b.I got a C due to my attendence (I think) but got B's on my essays.Read, take notes, ask ?s, show up, its easy & its college people!

This teacher was in my opinion the perfect summer class teacher, I received a reasonable, yet intense, workload that allowed me to succeed while actually learning from her. I learned the most about writing essays in this class than I have in all of my previous classes combined. A+ teacher. Highly recommended.

Prof K is a great writing teacher. I'd taken the class before with another teacher and learned nothing, but I did learn with Prof. K. She was very helpful and always asked for questions to help clear up any confusion. Getting papers back was an issue, but not enough when compared to what I learned.

I thought this class was good; it's history so lots of lecture, but lectures interesting and she included film and discussion. She loves the topic and that showed in her teaching. I took notes, read the books, and pulled an A. I'd definitely recommend her to all and in fact have.

Funny, very helpful, demands respect (as one should)

I didn't see her as hard at all; she just expects more out of her students. I didn't see her as disorganized or bias or feminist. She has an opinion but lets you get yours out as well. I enjoyed the class and actually learned some things. Isn't that what college is about?

Prof. Knudson is NOT that hard of a teacher. She expects a lot out of you, and expects you to be adult about everything (for instance, taking the initiative when you miss a day), but it's far from unrealistic. "A"s are possible, guys. I got one on almost all my major papers, and ended with an A in the class. If you failed, you were just being lazy.

Pretty easy class. She tells you options you need to study for prior to the test and lets you bring a notecard. She quizzes out of small book so if you don't read that one you will fail quizzes. I hardly used the big book. You have to do a presentation and a book review, too. That's pretty much it. Should easily be able to get a B.

I took Prof. Knudsen twice, Eng and His. She is an interesting and nice person, but has no control of her class. She has no clue as to when to step in and shut her anti-ethnic students down.

by far my favorite English writing teacher! After taking her course my writing had improved drastically!she is an amazing teacher! work hard on the essay and don't be scared to ask for help! I would recommend consistently revising and working hard on the essays because she will give you the grade you deserve.

I love this teacher this class was hard but she went beyond to help me and make sure I did well

I was scared to take her class because of the reviews on here but she is one of the best professors I've had. She will help you if you ask and the essay topics are very interesting. I thougt I sucked at English but I got an A on my first essay. She is a bit slow with grading but I would definitely recommend taking her class.

She was a really helpful teacher. It was my first college class and I learned alot

I would rate Ms. Knudson as a high quality professor. Her grading is pretty lenient and is happy to assist students with any issues concerning the assignments. Speaking of assignments, there are not many. We had five graded to turn in, two of which were exams. Would recommend her HIST 313 to any fellow student!

I loved Knudson! I have had her before for my English class and I just finished up with her history class. She is not a hard grader and she is always there to answer any questions you may have. I really enjoyed her class, sometimes the powerpoint gets a little boring but she always tries to throw something exciting in there or show a video/movie!

Mrs. Knudson is a good history teacher. She does have a lot of reading, but what is expected for a college history class. She's very helpful if you ask for help. And she changes up her teaching style with film, pictures, docs, and interesting info not in the textbook. If you do the work, you'll pass without problem.

She is a good history teacher. She made it easy to learn a lot and actually understand and even like it. She lectures, but just briefly recaps what you were to read on your own, then adds other info and projects to help add to that. Plus she's willing to help. I had some issues this semester and she was awesome in helping me out.

It's history but she tries to make it interesting. There's textbook, inclass, out of class readings but she gives plenty of time to do it all. There's lecture but with powerpoint, films, videos, and other things to do to add to it all. There is a take-home mid-term and final, plus a book review. Easy to pass if you pay attention and do the work.

Good teacher, but expect to read--the textbook which is awful--and two non-fiction books that were really good. There's lots of information, but she helped to put it in order. I liked how she connected all to a theme the mid-term and final were based on. There were reading quizzes on the text, but also extra credit. Give her a chance; she's good.

I thought her class was enjoyable, and it was not too strenuous, though was a little heavy in the writing and reading. Two bibliographical reports on two separate books was a little unnecessary for students not interested in English/literature, but yeah I know, "welcome to college". I still feel like I learned a lot, so overall it was a good experi

Professor Knudson is a good teacher. She has high expectations, but is willing to help you reach them. Heavy on group work which are helpful and fun. Workshops for essays also helpful. Great on essay feedback. I'm learning more in this class than I have before about to academic writing.

Very kind and caring instructor. She is very passionate about her subject and helping students.

I really enjoyed having Anita as a professor. She is very outspoken, which can be taken differently by each student but I thought she was hilarious and always very honest. If you ask her for help she is more than happy to assist you and always makes assignments very clear.

Prof. Knudson is amazing. She is so caring and super supportive. Ofc it is hard and you have to try and there is a lot of writing and a lot of assignments but is is worth it. I had her for my very first semester in college (online) and she was just incredible. I wish she was teaching other classes but she doesn't and that is making me feel so bad.
