Relaxed classroom setting but doesn't offer much helpful feedback on work done in class. Is pretty cool about deadlines but office time is limited.
He's so passionate about literature. It's inspiring. He's not a very hard grader and loves what he does. I loved this class.

he is an ok teacher, but there are better out there.
he's hot.
Great professor. He was very passionate and it rubs off on you. Not a strict authoritarian, and the learning matters here, not deadlines or grades. If you put in the effort, you will definately pass.
Jeff Knorr is cute! He's an pretty easy and he makes you feel involved, he pretty much motivates you. He's easy to approach and helps you when you need it. His class is passable!
He was an exceptional teacher! Prior to taking his class I truly disliked English. His passion and knowledge of his class just seeped through everything he did. He made the class fun and such a great learning experience. It's been a few years now and I still recommend his class to anyone who needs English. He has made a true impact.Thanks Mr. Knorr
Jeff Knorr is the BOMB!!!. He is really cool. He will help you as long as you want to help yourself. I really enjoyed his class. I passed with flying colors. Take him before anyone else.

Knorr is a great instructor to take for a creative writing class. He's very thorough, and has a lot of workshops and exercises to work on that help with your writing. He's very helpful, and helped give ideas on what stories and poems to write.
Jeff is a really good teacher, my only caveat is that he doesn't have alot of structure, and if you tend to procrastinate the work load sneaks up on you. Very fair in the way he handles the class and he gives very good feedback. If you are interested in Creative Writing i reccomend him highly... looking for an easy A - not so much
Knorr is an awesome teacher, and a great writer as well. He will make you love reading, or writing for that matter. He does grade pretty hard for a class that's so laid back though.
Very creative teacher who not only teaches technique and writing strategies but encourages his students to think of writing as a very personal task, not something strictly done to please a professor.
Jeff Knorr is AWESOME ... He takes the time with each student ... makes sure you are getting what he is teaching!!
Nice nice teacher, and plus he's easy to reach and talk to. He takes into account that fact that some of his students' first language isn't english. He expects everyone to do their best and help them to get there. love love him.
HE'S VERY SUFFICENT WITH HIS WORK STRATEGIES AND HE'S VERY PLEASED ON GIVING HELP TO HIS STUDENTS. HE'S VERY FUNNY AND VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT HIS WORK. HE'S A VERY GOOD PROFESSOR.
I just finished my second semester with Jeff Knorr. He is a very kind teacher, and very interested in what his students think. He encourages people to continue their train of thought and contribute their ideas in a classroom setting. The first part of the class goes rather slow but once you get into fiction, things get very interesting.
Jeff was my professor for 3 classes this Spring semester. He is an AMAZING professor and writer that cares about his students. He has a very Socratic teaching style, he always encourages his students to "think outside of the box." No matter what class you take with Jeff Knorr, you will learn more than a lot. And you will become a better writer!
he's very funny and outgoing. he loves his students and helps out whenever you need it. he's especially easy for EngWr 49. his class is easy to pass. he actually makes his class enjoyable just becasue of his good attitude. He's great as a teacher and someone to just talk to!!!
Great teacher! Participate in the class! It helps you by talking about it and he is helpful if you don't understand something. Oh and he's super hot :).
Jeff's classes are largely based around discussion, so BE READY to participate. He's very open and never tries to humiliate his students. He sort of improvises, so don't expect him to be completely organized. His courses basically consist of a lot of reading, a lot of analysis, and a bit of writing. He gives a lot of helpful feedback, so apply it.

I took his English 40 and 49. He is great i actually learned more in his class about English then i did when was in high school. He is so easy to understand and if you don't understand he will go over until you do. i recommend his class you will like him and his classes are NOT boring.
I look forward to this class every T/Th. I love all the discussion and Jeff makes sure that everyone's opinion is respected. He is great at staying on topic and guiding people back from their tangents. Very focused, great class- I plan on taking another class from him next semester!
He has been one of my favorite teachers at SCC thus far. He is an excellent teacher, and if you are an aspiring writer you WILL develop better writing skills. He gives many workshops and exercises which are helpful and there are no tests. He pushes his students to higher creative plateaus, and you learn a lot from him. Not bad to look at either ;D
I've been exposed to poetry since elementary, but never could understand or appreciate it. Knorr made me curious about it and now I'm just loving it! I recommend him for intro to poetry!
Mr.Knorr is the best teacher you can ever have..his class is very fun and interesting. If you have any problems he will take the time to explain to you and he will make sure you understand...TAKE HIS CLASS!!! if you get the chance...:P
I took a creative writing class with Knorr. I LOVED IT. He's up there with one of my favorite teachers. I wish he taught more classes I would take them just for fun. He's funny, laid back, and honestly very cute!
Great teacher and great guy, easy as long as you write the poems and stories. He makes it a class in which you get in as much as you put out.
You've got to take his class. He doesn't **** you around. Just show up, do the reading, and when you get stuck on the work he's very helpful. He has a great passion for writing which he kept me interested. I don't care for engwr at all, but he made it very enjoyable. I'm not the best writer, but I pulled through. Go all in with this guy...
Jeff is a great teacher. I am an english major, but I really don't like poetry, but he made it easy even for me. He only assigns about 3 essays and 3 exams I believe, and no homework. Though I hate poetry, I am taking another poetry class just to have him as my prof :)
Intro to Poetry. Great class, great teacher, even if you don't like poetry.
This prof is pretty cool and he is sincerely passionate about literature. I recommend taking him. All we did was hold discussions in class about the readings. make sure you do the readings before hand so you can engage in discussions, its what makes or breaks the "b" student from the "A" student.
Knorr is a GREAT teacher. His discussions were very interesting and though provoking. I walked away from each class inspired to write my essays. Grade based on 3 essays and a final essay. Fairly easy grader. Work on ur essays for atleast two days and you will probably get a good grade (make sure you read the books that the essays are on though!)
Professor Knorr is a great teacher with much passion for the subject. Only thing I would really criticize is how late he returns essays, that's it though. No homework besides work on essays, and the essays themselves were fairly graded.
Took his poetry class spring 2011 and he is a great teacher. He was very approachable and extremely nice. The class was easy, no homework, I believe one presentation. It sucks that he said he won't be teaching poetry anymore, because he made it actually interesting to someone that doesn't care about the subject. Overall he's a great professor
Not good at all! Super hard!
GREATEST AND COOLEST PROFESSOR EVER! TOOK HIS CLASS IN SPRING 2012 AND HE IS THE BEST!!!!
Took this class and Jeff taught it with Troy Myers, I was enrolled in Troys class but the class was still the same-Troy graded his papers & Jeff graded his. Jeff is EXTREMELY helpful, nice & understanding. The class isn't hard, just show up and read the poems. He's easy on the eyes, too ;)! LOL
If you're into poetry, you'll dig his class. I personally liked the short story portion of the class better. There are two papers and two tests. As long as you read the poems/stories and are able to analyze them, you'll do fine. He's a nice guy and always willing to help you.
Prof. Knorr is a great guy who knows literature. I thought I'd be bored to death in a literature class. Not the case. First half of semester was poetry. Took Midterm. Second half was short fiction. Took final. Not cumulative. He wants you to dig deep in meaning of the poems or stories. Also very pleasant.
3 In class essays (2mid/final)3 take home essays total of 6 essays. No homework. Have to read 1 short novel. Teacher is hilarious and very helpful. I'm terrible at English and I have an A in this class. Attendance is mandatory but if you decide not to go for some reason just email him. Very understandable. Tells you exactly how he wants his essays.
Class is super easy. I'm very lazy and I got an A in this class. No homework besides read short essays. If you want to transfer and boost your GPA up, this is your man. Prof. Knorr grades easy. He even gives you the midterm topic ahead of time so you can practice!!!! 4 take home essays and 3 in class essays.
Jeffrey Knorr is amazing professor! He is very kind and always willing to help. He taught this class with Troy Myers(every lecture was extremely interesting!). They chose great books for the course(I enjoyed reading them), and essay topics were also super!Loved this class!
easy class, i bs'd the tests and essays and received a b. he's an easy grader, class is all lecture. 2 essays, 2 tests & final (oedipus). class is all lecture, no hw. there are 3 units: poetry, short fiction and oedipus rex. the class i took was both taught by knorr & anothr prof (dont rembr name) with 50~ students so be prepared for a huge class.
Genuinely cares about students, genuinely doesn't care about structure. Doesn't care if you turn stuff in late or if you come in late. Laid back and funny. Told a lot of stories.
This professor LOVES his job. Taking his class was fun, very interactive, and inspiring. I would take any other class he teaches because he is easy to work with, he doesn't sweat the small stuff, and again he enjoys his profession.
Great teacher, end of story. Class was lecturediscussion based. No homework. He's a sweetheart and honestly attractive for his age. Very honest. Never met a nicer human being.
Amazing class lecturesdiscussions. Eye opening how enjoyable literature can be.
Easiest class ever, Easy A, Professor is down to earth and very funny.
Professor Knorr is not only a great teacher, but a great human being. The class is easy, but you walk out knowing much more about literature than you'd ever expect. Adore this man.
One of the best people I've ever known. Really cares about his students and makes the text easy to relate to. Ties in his own personal experience and is lenient enough within the class to make you want to go the extra mile. Cracks a lot of jokes but makes sure you do your work; all papers are based off of the reading. Great teacher!
I took this professor for 110, and 303! One of the best professors you can take. He's passionate about the subject, very laid back, and always loves it when students engage in discussions. I actually enjoyed coming to English class.
wow, what a great professor!! books are intriguing, essays aren't too difficult, and most of all class is never boring he always engages the class. i would definitely take him again only con: he never replies back to emails. if you wish to get in contact with him, i suggest you speak to him after class or during office hours. do not rely on email.
Out of all the english writing profesors I've had, Jeff has been by far the best english profesor I've took. Jeff gives excellent feedback, and will help you improve the mistakes you made on papers and at the same time will make you feel proud of your work. Can't thank him enough.
Knorr makes great connections and is always up for changing things around. He goes off what the class and feeling and plans around that. Make sure you keep on top of assignments. Would take every semester If I could.
Knorr is a great professor. Circulates around the English department. Class participation is highly encouraged. Didn't find him to be too harsh of a grader or a teacher. Gave me a CD. Funny, easy to approach. Sometimes canceled class w/out sending an email, just left a note on the door. Engaging, wants you to pass. Kinda bad at replying to emails.
Prof. Knorr is laid back & this class was an easy A. There were 4-5 papers at most. I didn't like that this class was combined with another professor he's friends with, I forgot his name, but he's a total jerk. I personally feel he was predjudiced towards me because of how I look. He asked if we had questions & was rude & sarcastic when answering.
One of the best teachers I have ever had the pleasure to learn from. Professor Knorr gave intriguing lectures and made poetry interesting for his students. He even brought a coffee maker to class so we could have fresh coffee while reading! Also gives great feedback on essays and overall not a hard grader. I looked forward to going to his class.
He was an amazing professor to have and his lectures were just as great. He really opens your eyes to the reality of what occurs in this world. He loves to here the opinions of his students and incorporates that into his lectures. Totally understanding to any situation, loves honesty and works one on one with students if needed.
Prof Knorr is a great professor. He doesn't expect huge loads of work, and is very understanding of personal lives. He really cares about his students and is wiling to go the extra mile if you need his help. He likes hearing the opinions of his students about social issues/topics.
We had very interesting discussions in this class! Professor Knorr graded pretty easily. Although he could be hard to get in touch with, he was understanding towards me when I had to miss class a few times due to personal reasons. He was a good listener and lecturer. He had a good sense of humor and sunny disposition that put me at ease. I had fun!
Down to earth guy, patient, listens & gives honest but critical feedback. If you don't pass his class it's because you're lazy. He really cares and wants the best for each student, wish there were more professors like this on campus and around the world. He makes it easy to learn and be involved, no pressure except the pressure you put on yourself.
Jeff Knorr is by far one of the best profs Ive had. Whenever I was struggling with my writing it was so easy to ask him for advice and there was no real rush on assignments. Hes very genuine but will provide tough love when its due. 100% would take again.
Excellent teacher! Hilarious
more on you learning than being stepped on. 3-4 papers, few inside and outside class. has clear prompts. goes over whats read and thoroughly analyzes the subjects so that you have something to write about. not harsh grader, since no extra credit. encourages help on assignments. participate and make sure all structure in essays. laid back class.
Connects to students very well and is very understanding about the life of a student. Gives great advice on how to prepare for an essay and gives great feedback on any mistakes.
Took him for ENGWR 300. Throughout the semester I had missed more than a few more days. Followed up with him during his office hours and he was more than understanding. He is very flexible with everything. Just communicate. Hes funny and light hearted. I enjoyed going to class when I went. Hes very helpful and understanding.
Professor Knorr was so great! English is my least favorite subject and I told him that and he was very caring and really put in the effort to make it as enjoyable as possible. The topics covered mostly involve racism and injustice in the government system. We had about 4 papers, all about 2-4 pages, VERY lenient with due dates. SUCH A CARING PERSON
Professor Knorr was an awesome teacher to have. When classes were in person, the lectures were very insightful and easy to follow and interact with. Once we were forced to go online, he did so flawlessly, holding zoom calls to carry out the lectures and being very accessible outside of class times. Straight to the point assignments and tests.
he is great, considerate of everyones time and personal situations going on outside of class. 2 tests + essays but he goes over everything and wants you to be creative more than anything. he communicates well, genuinely wants everyone to succeed and is flexible knowing how stressful college can be. if i was an english major i would take him again!
Jeff is probably the best teacher I have ever had. He genuinely cares about the success of his students and moves his schedule (especially during finals) to make sure we are feeling comfortable in not only his class but all of the classes you are taking. He is super understanding of any situation if you just talk to him and keep him in the loop.
Best English Professor! Very understanding, clear lectures, & caring. 2000000000/10.
Jeff is by far my favorite Professor. He is great at teaching the students how to construct their papers. Very easy to follow. He gives great advice and is always willing to help with writing. We didnt have any homework besides just working on our papers (3-4) throughout the week. Hes very engaging during lectures and I enjoyed being in his class
The best professor I have ever seen, it is not a problem if you do not participate in classes, but if you do, you will have the best moments. We read one or two stories or poems a week, and the professor talked about it in class. He scored very easily and was not strict in grading. We only had 3 or 4 essay in 3 pages. THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!
Selected the wrong ENGWR course, was supposed to go with ENGWR302. Good news is this course still counts towards my AD-T goal. This was probably the most relaxed online course I have taken since starting my journey. Very personable and relaxed on assignments. No hard deadlines. Very understanding.
Jeff is an amazing and engaging teacher. I couldn't ask for anything less. The class I took with him has been one of my favorites by far, like I never thought I'd be looking forward to schoolwork until now. 10/10 would take again
If you don't take professor Knorr's class wyd??? He is the absolute BEST teacher I have ever had in ANY school! He is super sweet and actually cares about your education and not only that he loves to have professional relationships with his students! Super easy class! Thank you so much professor for making class fun and easy!! :D
The ENGCW 420 class is a poetry workshop, and I had the best time sharing poems with the class. Professor Knorr did a fantastic job facilitating the classes and moving the workshops along professionally. I learned a lot about poetry and great techniques to use while writing my poetry. The class was inspirational; I highly recommend taking it.
Honestly the best professor for English. If you have the chance to enroll in his class, PLEASE DO. He engages with the classes and helps you gain your own interpretation of the works you read. He even encourages you to find your own love for english.
I took Professor Knorr for all of my English/Writing requirements. Great teacher, such a nice guy. Class was super easy. Not a lot of work, so if you do the work you will pass. My only problem was I never got too much feedback on my essays and written assignments. Other than that, easy A!
LOVE Professor Knorr ! He really enjoys interacting/helping students learn. I went through some tough times and he was very accommodating and honestly the best person. He gives clear instructions for due dates and is pretty lenient. I would recommend viewing the zoom classes where he does a lot of group participation. It is worth your time.
Professor Knorr is the kindest person ever. He genuinely cares about each and every one of his students on a personal and professional level. He even offered to meet with every student outside of class to help us figure out what major to pursue. He really wants to see his students succeed and gives great feedback on assignments. 100% recommend!
Professor Knorr was such a great professor. From the very beginning, he made sure that his students felt welcomed, seen, and safe in his classroom. Even though it was an online class, he made it feel personal and warm. I was able to really enjoy the discussions we had and hold the enjoyment and lessons I learned in this course with me now.
professor Knorr is one of the best english teacher I've ever had. He is so understandable and pretty easy going. I would 100% recommend!!
Professor Knorr is amazing!! If you attend the lectures you will pass. He doesn't assign homework. He provides the textbook you will need. I did have some problems getting an email response, I would instead ask during class.
His lecture style isn't personally for me. However, I do appreciate that he doesn't assign much and that he doesn't try to push through all the plans he made for the class just for the sake of getting through the content. I also appreciate his leniency.
I took this class online and we had zoom meetings every Tuesday and Thursday. Professor Knorr is the best, honestly his lectures are so interesting and everyone gets to participate. He cares about his students and is very easy to talk to. Very little assignments and a very easy A. I would take him again if I could.
Jeffery Knorr is an AMAZING professor! One of the nicest professors even teacher I ever had! He is very understanding and truly wants you to do well in his class, he loves what he does and it shows! Great lectures and loves to hear feedback from his students. Overall such a great professor! I would recommend anyone to take any of his classes!!
Wow what can I say..honestly, just take his class. This class was a very enriching experience!Get ready for some heavy topics! But you can't say it its boring. Come to class is all the advice I can give you. That's where you get all your tools for success. Book is also super cheap!Less than $20. ps this class inspired me to get sober! thanks Knorr!
I would 100% lectures are interesting
