Wonderful person. Has a helpful attitude and is a lot of fun.

He is a nice guy, but can be very sarcastic. Very strict with MLA format. A very difficult A in my opinion.

AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME! This teacher ROCKS! This class ROCKS! and if you get off your lazy butts you will definitely get an "A"! I LOVE THIS TEACHER!

Good teacher, gets youthinking.Strict on MLA & sacrastic at times.

oh my gosh this guy is so funny and it really helps when your getting frusrated. he answers any questions and the peer reviews really help. i don't say that it's an easy A but it's definatly a hard F. (or E)

THE ICEMAN! haha if you have this dude make sure you have him tell you why people call him "THE ICEMAN". Truth be told, he's a hottie supreme who knows what he's talkin about. Not an easy A though, I was happy with a B and I'm usually rockin' the A's. But whatever, that's how I roll.

GREAT TEACHER!

Kip is a fun and nice teacher, as long as you are one of his chosen favorites. i witnessed him talking smack about some of his lesser favored students on a few occasions. He also was a bit too nice sometimes, be wary of him over-stepping your comfort boundaries if you are a pretty girl. also, my class started with 25 students and ended with 4. hmm?

I took the online course and Kip was very helpful and made himself very available for questions through email and chat online. Interesting course too! He involves watching movies that you have a pick of choosing which makes it better.

I took his online class last spring. He takes foreverrr when it comes to returning papers and posting the grades. I've never met him in person, but online he comes off as a total jerk. I'd never take a class from him again. (althgough for an online class, he has it really organized. Its easy to follow.)

I took his class online and I don't like him. It's easy to get a B, but almost impossible to get an A, he takes poetry waaaaaay to seriously, it's ridiculous.

I've been in a few of Kip's classes and I have enjoyed all of them - I scored well in my ENG 111 and Capstone class, but not as well in the poetry class - but I did it just for fun and on-line and I don't do so well on on-line. Kip is a great prof and always make himself available to help. You will learn and be challenged. Great prof!

He was organized and made this class fun. I would highly recomend.

Kip is my all time favorite. I really enjoyed going to his class. He's extremely funny and quite laid back. It's not easy getting an A on papers when he bases the grade strictly on the MLA format (he deducts points for every tiny mistake) but it did make me pay more attention to detail when I wrote my other papers. His grading is very fair though.

This professor I;ve heard is great in person, but from experience NOT GREAT ONLINE!! He asks for way too much work too often and makes the class hard to get an A. I like poetry, but we were just learning about it, not writing any. One great part of his class...you never have to go to the testing center which is nice.

Excellent class, great Professor, he is very fair and very helpful. I highly recommend Professor Kip Knott, his class is very interesting.

Took him Online, as others said he's not so good online, just because he's kinda absent. He'll go 2-3 weeks w/o posting any announcements & sometimes takes awhile to respond to email. Pretty slow grader. But he doesn't expect anymore work than other Eng teachers. Weekly journals/responses, 3 essays. He's clear about everything. I'd recommend him.

Excellent Professor, wish he could teach all of my classes. He is helpful, kind and very clear on what is expected. Most organized and makes class FUN!!! Enjoyed his class, highly recommended!!

This is late, but his class was enjoyable and I learned a lot.

If you need lots of feedback and have many questions, he is not for you. I took the online class and this professor is very clear on assignment guidelines. If you can work independently and do the work exactly as told, he is for you. VERY fair grader.

Very fun class! A very honest and genuine professor.

Best Professor at the college, highly recommended! He is fair, easy to talk to and answers all questions. The class is a class that you acutally learn to love literature and writing. Loved the class!

This professor ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best class!

Took the class online and it was pretty easy. Assignments are clear and not to demanding. All in all about 2 small papers and a research paper at the end. Journals are every other week along with a response on the discussion board but its not hard. Always replys with emails and very clear on directions. If you do the work you will be fine

Kip was very helpful and laid-back. He really made the class interesting, even for people who don't like english.

Kip is one of the most interesting professors that I have ever had!! Attend class, write your papers and take some suggestions and you should do just fine!!

I took ENG-250 online and was having a lot of trouble but Prfossor was really helpful. I highly recomend all students to take his class.

I have taken 2 of his online classes, they're the easiest I've taken. They require work, but no more than your typical English class. He places the entire course agenda online from day one. Its great for someone with a busy schedule, allows you to plan ahead. He is slow to grade, but helpful if you seek it. If you don't mind reading, take his class

He's a great professor. He's nice, funny, and is very helpful for those who don't understand English well, and knows how to challenge those that do. Overall, I'd say he's one of the best professors I've had.

One the best teachers ive ever had. he tries to help break down the crazy forms and rules of poetry, while getting the entire class involved. His class became some what of a therapy class because the class became unified and people werent afraid to share their poetry.

I took this class online. It was a very easy class. He is a very laid back grader. I got an A on all of my papers. I would recommend this teacher to anyone.

I took his 2367 class online and to be honest it was pretty easy. He is a slow grader. I've had a problem with my topic proposal and he helped me get it right. Easy A with a little effort.

I took Intro to Poetry with HIGH interest. I came out of it with little interest. The textbook is okay, and the assignments are pretty much to read the textbook and write a paper on a few poems OF YOUR CHOICE. Kip is nice, but takes FOREVER to grade. I often had to email him and ask what was up. I feel like i learned barely anything from his class.

Highly recommended!

He's passionate about literature and expects you to put your all into your work. He is clear in what he expects of your work and gives great feedback, but is slow on grading because of the amount of classes he teaches.

Kip is an amazing professor and hilariously funny! I suggest you take advantage of the opportunity to have him review your paper before he grades it as you always leave his office feeling better than when you came in. He gives great feedback and is an easy grader. He does take a while to grade, but it's not a big deal. I would highly recommend!

Answers e-mails super fast. Lets you revise papers for credit back.

Great class amazing professor. Loved his class and would def take any of his courses again. Very helpful and informative. Very caring.

Kips class is a lot of reading and a lot of papers, but he gives very clear instructions and also gives great feedback. The only things I found to be slightly frustrating is how long it too to get grades back - 2 weeks from due date is the min and at times slow to respond back to emails. Im sure he is busy but, I found myself getting impatient.

Took this course online and it saved me a lot of time! I was able to do all the assignments ahead of time. He gives great feedback. As long as you try and do all your work on time, you will pass with a decent grade! Only downside is he takes forever to grade.

Highly command!

Takes forever to grade but for the most part he is an easy grader. He is very picky on the MLA formatting I only got docked a few points for that though. Make sure to turn in journals on time as specified on calendar they're not very hard just don't procrastinate, same goes for the papers you can even finish the class weeks in advance if you want

Took this class online with a shorter term in the summer and was pretty difficult given it was only 5 weeks. Three major paper projects. Requirements for those papers are pretty lengthy. You have to check off each of the requirements in order to get a passing grade for the paper. Not a bad professor, would suggest a longer term though.

Kip provides very clear guidelines on criteria. He was very receptive to me bouncing ideas off of him for papers ahead of time and gave good feedback on ways to develop my thesis. He is a slow grader. Make sure that you read the assignment guidelines over and over every week. There is a list of items you MUST meet to get a passing grade.

Professor Knott is a solid professor, who has an overall enjoyable class. There are few graded essays, but the grading criteria is clear. He also gives solid feedback on your essays and allows revisions for the first and second writing project. Make sure to follow the assignment requirements EXACTLY, or you will not receive a good grade.

Unfortunately, the nature of online classes means that I can't grade professors (especially English profs) on anything besides feedback. That being said, I'd say Knott was an especially fair grader who gave excellent feedback on the major writing projects. This is an incredibly reading-heavy class, so be ready!

You need to hit all his requirements for papers or you can't get better than a 69%. He at least lets you revise the first couple papers for a better grade, but more so than other profs you need to make sure to meet every detail of the requirements provided. Don't be fooled by "Intro", as you will need to work for your grade in this class.

Professor Kip Knott was a tough grader but not unnecessarily so. English 2367 is meant to refine and improve your writing and I believe his methods did exactly that. At the end of the day, it is clear that he cares about the advancement and improvement of his students.

I have no idea why this guy has bad ratings. Follow guidelines and you are almost guaranteed an A. Low work load, no weekly work, just some DBs. Don't bother buying a textbook, I never used it. I really liked this class. I had never written papers like these before, and I found the class to be interesting. Just follow the guidelines!

Taken as an online class. Weekly discussion boards, as well as 4 papers, contribute to your overall grade. This class is listed as an intro to poetry but prior knowledge of writing and even an interest in writing are required to succeed. Kip Knott is a POET. Understand that the person grading your poems/papers is a poet who has published books.

3 writing projects, weekly discussion boards.

You will be fine as long as you read the syllabus and do the work required. He is clear on what he wants and as long as you follow the directions you´re fine.
