She's is an awesome teacher. You do have quite a few task to do but it really does help your grade. The assessments, test, are bad at all. Many of the slides cover all the material and exams and quizzes. I really enjoyed this class and the fact that she kept us interested on the subject. I would really recommend her to anyone she really is great.
She is the best online teacher I have even had. She always keeps up with her email, and actually talks to you throughout the course via the discussion forums. Plus she offered a FREE TEXT BOOK via online. loved it.
Awesome teacher- very understanding. Helps you any time that you have questions. Probably the best online teacher I've had in a long time.
I took this class in the Spring, It was a lot of work. She also gave a lot of activities and assignments (easy) , some were videos which I found to be boring eventual I stopped watching the videos. The quizzes were fairly easy and I enjoyed the discussions the most, only thing is she not the type of professor that gives feedback.
Professor McNight is awesome!! I wish I could take her for all of my Psyc classes. She responds quickly to emails & she is extremely organized. Easy A, just don't become lazy
I did not like this class way too much work in so little time. She doesnt respond to emails! i emailed her twice and was ignored. so not professional. I'm glad I dropped this class.
Kind professor, but way too much work for an online class that was only 5 weeks long. Exam was alright if you actually studied.
I have mixed feeling about her. One thing she is bad at is responding to emails. It takes her days until she finally gets back to you. I took the class online so there was a special program we had to use. It was easy to use and all but there a lot of work to do in a short time. Overall, if you keep up with work you will get an A.
She makes it very easy to understand what is due & when--answers questions in class or via email quickly. This is not an easy class but if you do the assignments, read & study you will have no problem getting an A. Some people in the class complained because they had to do assignments & study but this is college...
She drops the lowest grades of your weekly quizzes. She quizzes over material written in powerpoint. Beware of the whole class failing bc she WILL make it harder for everyone. Gives extracredit and make up handouts. She talks too much about sex. But she is very nice and is there to help. I do not regret taking her.
Professor McKnight is an excellent teacher she explains wells and always stays in touch with everyone. She also answers her emails and then explains it to everyone. Would take her again.
This class was straight through McGraw Hill, was very to the point you do have assignments every week with a quiz but if you read and complete the learnsmart assignment while reading you will do well in the class.
I took her for 2 courses the first was regular psychology (In class) and the second was Lifespan (Online).This has been the BEST professor I have had. She is concerned about your grades and wants to see you succeed. Her online courses are made up of quizzes which she gives you 1 week to complete. Great Teacher
Take notes on the chapters ( know the key terms and italics) and you'll pass bottem line! She is a great professor, allows you to see your progress, offers extra credit and always replied to my emails within a reasonable time.
Great class and awesome professor, can't wait to take 2314 in her class
This is not an easy class but Mrs McKnight is very good at her lectures and relates material to stories or videos that makes it easier to remember. She took time out of her schedule to assist me with a problem I had. You have to do your part and study but she does a great job of delivering the information.
Absolutely loved her teaching skills; she is the best at what she does. This class was extremely easy and you learn a lot. You simply have to study and do the work and you will be fine; no reason why anyone cannot make an A. Strongly recommend her! Will take more PSYC courses with her :)
I took the 8 weeks online class and way too much work for these weeks. Her quizzes are very tough. She locks all the questions, gave 25 questions and 25 minutes for them. Tougher than a board exam! Did not like the way she handled the online class.
The only professor that I found very rude and not helpful at all. I read all these comments from her and took her class. So disappointed now. She gives too many assignments and is not helpful at all. She does not like to be asked questions. Do not take her class if you need to ask questions or don't have enough time to do reading and assignments.
Did not like the way she communicate at all. She does not like to be asked questions. If you work full time like me and do not have too much time to read, DO NOT take her class. Gave extra points. But, way too many assignments and tough quizzes. I took her online class.
This was a very very hard class, but study do notes, read and you won't have much of a problem. Try not to miss out on classes you'll miss a lot. She's super nice and tries to make the boring material interesting. Hoped for a C ended up with a B because of how helpful and understanding she is
While this course covers a dense amount of material (I had 70 pages of notes by the course's end), the material is broken down into manageable sections with fantastic & energetic overviews from Prof. McKnight. The assignments & syllabus are clear & concise. There is ample extra credit & Prof. McKnight is happy to answer questions in & out of class.
The course was challenging, however I walked away with a lot more knowledge as Professor McKnight included online activities with each reading that made sure the students understood the content. I recommend this class as you'll learn a lot, however I recommend only taking this course if you're willing to work for your grade.
Straight to the point online course. The only true way to pass is to READ. If you're not big on reading, don't take this class. Quizzes after every chapter, 3 assignments per chapter. As long as you read, you'll do great.
Ms. McKnight is a wonderful professor that cares for her students. I took her summer(online) course but work hard to pass. At the end of each chapter, there are learning curves, interactivity, and assessments that needs to be done. You must read the chapters to do well in her class. Take advantage of the learning activity because it is very helpful
Straight to point 4 types of assignments total: Interactivity 15%, 2)Ch. Quizzes 50%,Learning Curve: 10% and final is optional if you make more than 90 in all. If not then final is worth 25%. At start ch exams were though because 20 questions are done in 20 minutes. If u need help in notes, book or material then search for book in craigslist.
Definitely not a good course to have taken to get back into college. Very insincere within her email responses; seemingly, as if she were a computer generated response. She didn't give me good feedback on concerns I had for my responses, and merely asked if I took ENGL1301. The online program is easy to dupe as it doesn't teach you much. BEWARE.
Easy A if you put in effort. Took summer online class. 15 % Interactivity, 50% Quizzes, 10% Learning Curve. She drops the lowest score for all three categories. Final is 25% but you are exempt if you currently have an A in the class. You actually have to read the book to do well on quizzes. This is an easy one, y'all. Sign up if you can.
A lot of work but easy class
Course entailed quizzes per chapter mostly multiple choice with an exam preview and a final multiple choice online exam Lots of reading involved, but do up study notes so you can look up the answers for the quizzes and the final exams within the minute allotted per question all in all an easy A
Took class online . Very easy. Quizzes are 20 questions in 20 minutes. Usually took me between 10 to 15 minutes to complete so you still have enough time to look up an answer that you don't know. Just read the the chapters... easy A
Read, Re-read and re-read. This class isn't difficult but it is alot of reading. Pass your quizzes, do the assignments and you'll be fine. The timed quizzes can get really specific which was irritating. DO ALL OF the Extra credit, it helps. I was exempt b/c i managed to do well on quizzes. If you need help, the professor is always willing to help.
I felt like she just did this for the money. There was zero actual interaction from her. She had literally all quizzes already prepared at the beginning and everything you read is an online book with online activities that grade themselves. Made me want to be a teacher for easy money. Pretty easy A, its all laid out for you but lots of reading.
I took this class in fall2016. The assignment on launchpad and the interactivies were pretty easy, but the chapter assessments were very tough.20 long and complex questions for 20 minutes, and impossible to return to the previous questions. I had to read the 700 page book word to word, page after page. I had to work so so hard to earn an A. Horible
As an international student, it was very happy for me to attend this class. I got a straight A after following the professor's instructions that include class attendance policy, quizzes, tests, and class-outside activity (for extra credit). I like the course. I like the professor.
Professor's Mcknight is pretty straightforward. She stuck to the syllabus and wants to know that students are learning the material. There are areas of this class where it was easy to breeze right through but this is not an easy A type of class. The tests are given in the form of 20 questions with a time limit of 20 minutes so you do have to read.
Professor McKnight will assist you to make a good grade, provided that you are willing to read, complete weekly assignments, and follow instructions. This is my first online class and I am taking her again for PSYC 2314.
Good class, online is much help for exams, just do your work. If you dont, youll probably get a C maybe a B if you have background knowledge of psych. I did all my work on time and got an A. Also she drops lowest hw and quiz, a real help. Take this professor, made psych fun in the morning
I took this as a hybrid. This class is an easy A if you have proficient knowledge in introduction to psychology . Though she's very entertaining, her lectures in class rarely show up on the weekly quizzes. It's a lot of reading, but homework is completion credit. Her quizzes are SUPER specific to reading and are timed (1min/question).
I took this course online and it was really easy. All that you need to do is read the textbook and you'll get an A. She stuck to the syllabus and you were given more than enough time to finish the assignments. Overall, it was a good course.
Took the class last semester (fall 2016) and I can say that it is an easy class if you study. Her online class was well organized and easy to follow. The key is to study and keep up with the due date of the assignments. I made an A
I ENJOYED her class. She provides all the resources for you to pass. you just have to apply yourself. she is very kind and will answer questions if you have any. Her lectures are all PowerPoint based, but very informative. TAKE NOTES or print out the "workbook", it will help out tremendously. She gives PLENTY of time to submit work. & she's funny!
During the summer, we had 6-7 chapters to read each week. The professor only gives you one minute per question on each quiz which is not enough time to read, think, and select a answer. I found myself constantly racing against the clock in order to pass the class. I emailed the teacher on several occasions about my concerns.
This was my favorite class last semester. You do have to apply yourself if you want a good grade, but that is because she is a good teacher. Her lectures are PowerPoint based, with online access to them. THANK YOU. She's funny and very kind. Don't get me started on THE Crown Royale bag full of chocolate. Bless this professor!
i am in Denver Colorado, first of all no one here has heard of pass a syllabus to get in , some teachers here thought it was funny, i do to! she was coming off very mean spirited and lacked compassion, especially when i was trying to communicate to her that i was having email issues and used another site to communicate. i left early happy!
I took this class as a mini 8 week course online and I would so take it again! It was easy if you just do the work and read the instructions. It is perfect for someone like me who works already in a clinical setting full time. You have to take notes on the homework in order to pass the quizzes! She highlights it for you though!
This is the first time I have taken an online class and this course is really easy. There will be plenty of reading throughout the semester, a test on each lesson and a writing assignment. Very easy! She provides PowerPoint for each topic. First week will be a test regarding the syllabus that you need to get a 100. I'm expecting to get an A.
This was my first experience with an online class, and I LOVED it. McKnight dumbs down the process, and I went into this class with total confidence. You'll read most of the book, and the readings can be long, but the quizzes are easy if you take notes! You have to log in once a week, but other than that, it's self-paced! Great class.
Her work is straight forward you get the online website that has the book and the class work. every chapter has a 20 minute 20 question assessment but they are easy you get the grade right away. As long as you do good in the assessments, you will do good in the class.
Professor McKnight made my introduction to the psych courses very interesting and easy to keep up with. I am looking forward to taking another of her classes.
You only have one test, which is the final exam. She gives assignments a week in advance before it is due. Nicest and funniest teacher ever. She has the greatest stories and is really understanding. Gives plenty of extra credit opportunities, and is an easy grader. She will never force you to participate, which is good for people who are shy.
Professor Laura Mcknight follows the syllabus and teaches with clarity.
I'm not gonna lie I thought this course & this professor would make my semester hard. Boy did I judge COMPLETELY wrong. Dr. McKnight's course was very enjoyable. You have to work, it's no easy A, but she helps and encourages you along the way (something online professors don't do). She is very clear, organized, & consistent. Thank you Dr. McKnight!
I took this class for the winter break. It was a lot of work as expected. You are going to have to read and read. I had trouble with one Test, my browser froze and it would not let me get back to the Test I emailed her immediately about it and she let me retake it. Make sure you read and do the assignments on time and it def will be an easy A
I took Ms. McKnight for psyc 2301 as a pre-requisite and I can honestly say she is a really good teacher. For the most part there are some notes you have to fill in outside of class otherwise, you won't know the information for quizzes, and you HAVE to attend every class. One more thing, turn in everything on time and study consistently.
Psych 2301 is a pretty difficult class in general, but Professor McKnight is ready to answer any questions that you have. The classes ARE extremely difficult, and you only get 1 minute to answer each. However, that just makes it so you can't cheat as easily. I would recommend her if you're ready to actually apply yourself to a class
As long as you read the chapters and powerpoints, you are good. You only have 1 minute to answer each question during tests/quizzes. Multiple chances on quizzes and takes the highest grade. Only one chance on tests. Recommend doing the questions in and after the chapters. Only bad thing about this prof is you cant review your quiz and test answers.
Good to talk to and willing to help you out.
I can hands down say Professor Mcknight is the best teacher I've had all through out college she has helped me out to not just understand what I'm being taught but she is also very ubderstanding knowing we all have a life outside school. Amazing professor definetly recommend her. 10/10
Amazing professor, easy A just do all the assignments on time. Quizzes only have 1 minute per question just pace yourself. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
She is a great lecturer and is very detailed with her explanations. The homework/classwork is straight to the point and she is very entertaining. The class that I specifically signed up for was a Z-class which didnt require a textbook but we still had online readings which- as long as you keep up with it- is not at all that bad. A GREAT PROFESSOR!
Easy A if you follow her instructions. I took psyc 2301 and now i am finishing with her psyc 2314 with grade A. There are a lot of tests, which're easy. She is clear on her assignments, takes care of every student, gives extra credit not just useless points. emails you back faster than any other professors. She is the best professor ever. I got A
This is a professor that really puts in as little effort as possible. She doesn't lecture us, gives the same three assignments every week, and uses the textbook as her only source of curriculum. Her class is a lot of busy work and reading, as long as you complete it, you will get an A.
Well structured class with clear deadlines and grading criteria, textbook came with a built in study plan. Dr. McKnight regularly checked in with encouragement or advice based on your performance on the study plan and practice quizzes, and was prompt and funny in email correspondence. Class requires effort; if you put in the work, you'll get an A.
I just took her 8 week course and I made an A. Great professor and emails back fast, all of the instructions are very clear if you need this class and need a good grade take her but do everything even the extra credit and do it on time and you will do great.
I loved so much about this class. The Professor made everything clear from start to finish. You can never be lost or mix up due dates. Assignments are easy. The only thing hard was the final! 10/10 would recommend.
Self Taught Class
Assignments are clear and easy to do. She gives good feedback. As long as you do all of your work you will pass. She is very understanding when life happens and will give you extensions. Overall a good professor and I would definitely take her again.
This class is super easy as long as you read, do the homework, and the assignments. Youll pass with flying colors. This professor went above and beyond during the storm HTX had a couple of weeks ago. I would definitely take her again if I needed to. I highly recommend her class. It is self teaching, but definitely not hard.
My honest review. Do not take this class if you want to actually learn psychology. This class was suppose to be online on a schedule but turned into online anytime. Only had two lectures online, you will teach yourself. If you want an easy A take her, if you want to learn take someone else.
Sweet teacher who cares about her students success in her class & will drop your 2 lowest test & homework assignments. Will give you some slack for when "life happens".
Professor McKnight had all of the lectures loaded into these amazing PowerPoint presentations. Just the color scheme alone, made me want to learn the information in the PowerPoints. There was also video's, access to an online book and study guides. I had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to take any of her courses again. Loved the layout.
She is considerate, and care for the students. I recommend her.
Very upfront on expectations and due dates and the course modules are neat, which made the class easy to pace. Her exams have lockdown but students are not recorded, nonetheless, the browser is a pain to use. No essays or projects. homework is easy to do but requires a bit of reading. It definitely is not an 'easy A' but not too rigorous either.
Respondus Lockdown browser on tests. You cant go to previous question on tests. Assignmnets are due every Tuesday 11:55pm which is dumb. 1 minute per question on tests! Too many rules. no redo's on any assignment. She said herself that this class is hard. I didnt even start the class yet. she says "maybe extra credit"
Prof. is very clear about her expectations. She outlines everything when the semester starts and ensures her students understand her guidelines. Professor McKnight drops lowest assignment grade and "rounds up" your grade. I had difficulties accessing the material through and received no understanding nor acceptance from her.Very tough professor.
Im in an online course and she is making us print our assignmnets on paper every week and handwrite answers then scan it with a printer and then upload it!!!! This makes no sense at all
the way she spreads out the assignments and their due dates is so dumb. and plus she hasnt graded assignmnets for the past 6 weeks
This class is very much an online/anytime class. Which makes going to school more accessible for students such as myself. If you don't need a professor to sit there and hold your hand; are able to pace yourself and stay on top of deadlines. Then Professor McKnight is a good fit for you. Easy work load as long as you stay focused.
Homework's are weighted 50% of your grade and there are 18 of those assignments. 3 of those due a week and each day your late on them it's an automatic 75 IF you get all of them correct. So one day late on one of those assignments is equal to getting a 75 on 3 test and that's if you get every question correct.
Professor Mcknight was an amazing instructor. I took PSYC 2301 as an online-anytime course. Her canvas course is well organized and easy to navigate. She is a fair grader, and a fair teacher. 10/10. I believe I finished with a high A.
She is amazing and caring teacher please take her class
Very heartless and inconsiderate professor. DO NOT TAKE!! I regret taking her she messed up my A streak
You can take from her she is good professor
Terrible teacher don't even choose her
Avoid this professor if possible . Save yourself the stress and choose someone else if you can.
RUN….save your money whether it's FASFA or paid dollar Professor McKnight differently not her class nor students!
Horrible teacher….
The worst professor I have ever seen do not take any class from her and she is not teaching .
Don't even take her any class she is terrible
If you do late assignment 30 points will get of your overall grade she is bad her class is bad for gpa if you want to struggle and not learn and get low grade take her but if you don't want to do that just avoid from her and run away
Being strict and essively rigid is not teaching ofcourse we will follow rules as a student but we can't feel sad after making mistakes.
Giving f from online classes very heartless she needs to This professor needs to get himself together. Getting A rate of 74 percent is terrible as a professor that attitude is not acceptable at all. She needs to change this behavior immediately, or she will lose many students.
If you want to take her class you will get 60 take from other professors your money and time significant.
Her ratings are fake she is not good professor just awoid her to get more than seventy you will get 50-60 in her class you can learn yourself at home %50 percent
Giving 0 to 30 percent effective quizes is her favorite thing avoid her
I have big regret to take her I wasted my everything do not do same mistake.
If my other friends will take class from her I will be sad for them
Just don't take her online classes never ever you will not learn anything
She decreased my overall grade of 88 to 53 and make my gpa to 2.871 to 2.818 and she did not teach anything giving 53 is crazy her grading no make sense and she has so many rules just follow rules or fail
She decreased my term gpa and semester performance %5.3 it was not so much but it affected me psychologically.
I only failed her class if you want to learn nothing still take her class some rates or not honest I am old student and never failed before her class.I transferred my all credits to Uh downtown just I can't transfer this class.
I will never ever take her one more classes at HCC
67 percent rate is not honest she is worse than 67 percent only %33 percent bad comments true don't take her class you will lose minimal grade but not learn it will hurt you
This professor is not engaging enough with students. We only received a message at the start of the semester and another one by the end of it. However if you follow her instructions, you will do just fine. I got an A but I wish I would have learned more, it was all self paced.
Don't take her classes she is treating very bad to foreign students
I have filed a complaint, and I hope this behavior will not continue and that it will be corrected. As an international student, I did not understand even a single lecture, which puts us at a serious disadvantage. We are always respectful and polite toward our professor, but we also expect effective teaching. We are investing both time and money
Lifespan class very easy and amazing class but her behaviors and teaching skills make it avarage lesson do not take her class please take from other professors
I will never retake her any classes one more time promise she is so bad and she doesn't understand that you feel sad
Don't take her classes no text book she is not caring and she is very rude.
She's one of the worst teachers She hides survey assignments you don't even know are there. It's a class you can easily pass with an A, but she makes it difficult and leads you to fail. If you don't find the assignment, even if you have an A, she'll give you a D or F for no reason, without any priority or deadline. I really hope this helps.
She loves giving 0 and making easy PSCHOLOGY class challenging for students not teaching do not waste your 5 hundred dollars for her
Do not take her classes If you care yourself time and money she is not teaching you anything if you don't understand she doesn't care
This professor has ego she doesn't care her students I took 5 lessons and passed 4 with amazing grades and I learned everything well but in this class I just wasted time and I learned almost nothing nobody deserves learning nothing and wasting time and money and to feel stressful please don't take her classes if you love your self
She is making easy quizzes hard and before starting her class she first sent you academic integrity rules and made you nervous do not take her
I have filed a complaint but the instructor still does not teach properly she is determined If you still decide to take the course with this instructor, that is your choice, but if you struggle later I don't know.I personally would not recommend taking her .. please take my advises seriously .
I just take f from her classes I never see grade under the B grade in my life after taking her I transferred other university but just don't transferred her class they accepted all my other credits I do not need to retake this class because my new university for lessons are different .I hate to say that but do not take her.
😡 never take her classes and feel not unhappy it is an advice from one of old HCC student guys I respected all my professors in my entire life that's why I will not say more but just do not take no teaching just waiting everything from students without teaching nothing is not teaching you know.
She is not responding emails giving zero and strict professor even you got A you just learn her class for getting good grades then you will forget We need to both learn and get a good grade so don't take her classes please.🙏
She is giving zero and your gpa getting decrease 0.053 for example 2.9 will be 2.847 if you fail because she loves giving 0 so much suddenly you can get zero before taking her classes think your gpa and yourself
I just regret taking one of her classes and I don't like anything about her because she doesn't care if you feel bad or not I never take 54 in my life if you care your visa time and money and your health don't take her classes.
If you want to pay money, get a zero, waste your time, and then have to retake the course or have upsetting things happen to you then you can still take these classes with this professor. I've shared my opinion, and I hope that's enough.she is the worst professor I have ever met.
Nobody cannot earn money without teaching any lectures it is not fair no word cannot explain my feelings just don't take from her.
She is bad person and bad professor it is hard to say it but I have to share
If you are intelligent person don't take her these comments are real life experiences
Do not take her if you don't want to fail she made easy lessons harder.
I can't take any online classes because of her because I stressed out and I chose in person classes to learn well .I took my all classes in person at Uh and other professors are much better than her you can find their online classes if you really need online.
Run save your money time and life she is not teaching only half of her lesson is easy passing grade in lifespan is 60 she is giving 55 to successful student and not teaching she is controlling professor ofcourse she will say you must follow rules but her controlling to much
She is so cranky and she does not like anything she loves giving 0 her favorite number is zero just don't take her class and feel better.
If her classes not mandatory do not take her and do not waste time just take your mandatory classes
she will give you 4zero no mercy don't take her class.
She made easy 30 percent effective exams hard and if she just thought that you look from somewhere herself even though you don't she will give you zero do not take her classes if you take in the future you don't really want to take online classes anymore she will make you nervous about online lessons.
She loves doesn't like teaching just don't take her classes if you want to learn PSCHOLOGY well
My grade was eighty eight she made it 54 to give 4 zero she is heartless don't take her classes
She is not teaching don't waste your time she just gives bad grades and she doesn't care
She is giving f and she decreased my cumulative gpa 2.830 to 2.818 and I deserve 2.830 gpa I got this grade and I deserve it and she did not taught also anything I will never ever take her class anymore.She is not fair.Don't take her class please
Passing grade is 60 and I got55 from her only class that I failed it is very unfair and I transferred other university so I can't retake I feel so bad please don't take her classes I don't want to say but please
