Knapp was a really good teacher. The only thing I didn't like was that it was a night class, but she only kept us the full three hours for the first few weeks, then we started to get out after about 2-2.5 hours. She DOES NOT allow you to write on the exam, which was something I didn't like. Overall, I highly recommend Jennifer Knapp.

She is very good at keeping you interested throughout the entire lecture. If you take one of her night classes, she will not keep you the entire three hours most of the time.

She delivers questions online through Learning Catalytics and gives you maybe 10 seconds to answer so even if you know it and answer a little late, you could miss the question when the time is up and you end up getting an F from missing one.

Her lectures are very interesting and make learning fun. There are note outlines that you can print out that make taking notes a lot easier. As long as you study the concepts, you will pass with a high grade. There is basically no homework aside from 10 question chapter quizzes and RLR quizzes. She is a great professor and I highly recommend.

She had great lectures and the material was interesting, but the exams ruined this class for me. You will be studying for the whole semester if you want to do well. She also makes them 90% of our grade, so there's hardly room for error. Her notes are also detailed and she does not give study guides, which makes it even harder to study.

If you need an honors credit take this class. She made psych pretty interesting without making things complicated. The exams were just multiple choice with a few short answers, and she curved each one by a couple points. The research paper was annoying, but she graded it very leniently. Do not put off RLR credits until the end, just do them early.

She takes some warming up to because she has a dry sense of humor. But she is passionate about the course and seems to genuinely care about her students. My biggest issue is that the quizzes are only 10% of the grade, while the tests are 90%. It leaves little room for error on tests.

I grew to dread this class as the semester went on. She uses an online homework platform that was beyond frustrating to use and the lectures were low energy and were simply copying whatever is on the board into a pre-made outline that she provides. She presents in a very dry way. I like her and it was an easy class to pass but really hard to enjoy.

i never went to class and still got an A, the quizlets will help you succeed.

Professor Knapp feels ill-equipped to teach a class about forensic psychology. Most of the info supplied feels typical and lacks the intrigue that a class like this should have.
