DR. Prior is great! i never had him for knes360, but with knes340 he was super chill. THere were weekly article summaries throughout the semester and small quizzes. We just had one big presentation, a short exercise prescription paper, a mid term (closed note), and final (take home- open note). The class was super interesting and you really only needed to show up to do well.

Dr. Prior is a great professor! KNES360 is a rougher class because there is a lot of information to learn, you have to dedicate time to studying for a good grade, but he is a FAIR professor. I felt the questions he asked on both exams and quizzes were fair and things he either had on his lecture slides, repeatedly said in class, or even straight up had as review questions. He records all of his lectures & releases them, which was so helpful because going back and re-watching lectures was a big factor in my getting an A as it's hard to take in and understand everything the first go around. He dedicates the lecture class right before the exam as a review day which I HIGHLY recommend going to as the condensed slides of main points are nice & he does point solutions practice questions that really helped prepare for the exam. Your grade is made up of 3 lecture exams, 6 lecture quizzes (3 in-person & 3 online), almost weekly pre-lab quizzes, 5 lab reports (done individually not as a group- so it is very time-consuming), and 2 lab practicals. All your lab stuff is graded by the TA- all of them seem pretty nice. I had Kyle and he was a fair grader. Dr. Prior was always willing to help and meet to answer questions I had before exams as well as explain my test and why some answers were wrong. He’s also a pretty understanding guy. I’d definitely take another class of his, had no problem- is a pretty straightforward professor.
