You really have to work for your A. If he asks for 30 examples. turn in at least 60. He gives very helpful feedback if you just ask, so just show him what you have so far and have him help you touch it up before you turn it in and you'll get an A for your project.

Comment:

Awful doesn't begin to describe Professor Knocke's teaching style as well as his overall conduct of being a professor. Constantly changes project expectations and grading criteria. Never gives student's a page with project expectations, just rambles about them during class and changes them every other day. Extremely unprofessional, waste of time.

Professor Knocke can use improvement on getting his point across on his assignments. There should be more structure on the days when he teaches, checks work, and his overall use of time. He will go over the same steps for two days, and most of the students are moving on while he talks, or skipping his class because they are already ahead.

He is tough to get an A. You have to go above and beyond his expectation but it is possible. If he asks for 20 links give him 50 and its an auto 100

He teaches at a much slower pace that I am accustomed to but he likes to make sure everyone is on the same page. He will help you as much as he can if you just ask.

I am majoring in Graphic Design and I think Prof. Knocke is a great professor. I will be taking him again this upcoming semester. I learned a great deal in his class and he lectures a lot so be prepared for it. You won't need the textbook but if you are disabled or new to graphic design I would recommend taking notes.

He doesn't hand out a syllabus and expects you to go on concourse to look it up. I honestly did not enjoy his class very much and he talks in a very low voice and it's hard to hear if you're not sitting in front of the room. He is also bland and hasn't answer my phone calls and I told him it's the best way to reach me not to email me which he did.

if you have previous experience and are good at drawing, you will be good in this class. if you have never done any drawing, you will have a hard time. he is very harsh in critque, tends to talk to himself alot instead of the class. I wish he would interact more with us, instead of using the internet to teach us everything.

He is very understanding if you miss by 3 absents or however many yes you will be dropped but other then that you learn a lot on how to use adobe which personally I am great full. P.s you dont need to buy a text book but given this course you should if you want it just for yourself it is really A NICE TEXT BOOK.

I was so excited to start this class but he's quite bland in his teachings. He's pretty easy and he does teach you the basics, but I just wish he would go more into detail with everything.

Uuuummmm...I was really excited about this class until I took it. Mr. Knocke was really informative and helpful but was sooooo redundant and slightly annoying (for me). He talked & talked during studio time and it drove me nuts. He even talked the whole time during our final project!!! I cannot work when someone is talking! btw, easy class.

The class was good and all, but everyday was really a drag for me. Especially it being a 2-3 hour class and all. He was really informative, and seemed kinda easy for me. I passed with a "A" in the class. If your looking for a easy class take him. But for people actually going into this field don't. Cause he dosn't give you challenges.

ALWAYS very fair,helpful, understanding.Not hard to pass.You have to do better work to get an A but not impossible.Knows the software very well.He maybe learning too during class because the software changes and new techniques come out ALL THE TIME in this industry and he tries to teach the newest methods.Only flaw: talks too much when he explains.

Comment:

Often, he teaches us techniques that should have been taught before working on a project with a deadline fast approaching.This is due to the fact that he is pretty much at the same skill level as his students. The only difference is he has modeled houses & bottles more than anyone taking his course.

These are not gimme courses. They are much easier if you have dedication and spend long hours using/learning the software. Mr. Knocke is a very thorough, experienced and helpful instructor. Ask questions - he will help you in a one on one basis.
