Average
Prof Knaak's talking is very monotonous so even though the material is interesting, the class feels eternally slow. He does know the field though. He will write chapter topics on the board then go one by one on powerpoint. Skulls are passed around almost every class. He gets irritated easily with students talking, arriving late, or using cell phones.
Awesome
Prof. Knaak is awesome! I've taken courses with him 4 times already and it was such an amazing experience! All you have to do is attend class and copy the notes he writes on the board, as well as ensure that you get the handouts. His study guides are pretty helpful on exams as well. He also doesn't use the book because he already knows everything.
