Don't skip, work hard and pay attention and you'll be fine. Everyone's grading him low because they believe this class would be an easy "A" which they got burned for.

Comment:

It's been about two weeks since our final (in a class of 15) and all I have to show for it is a big "NGR" slapped on my Final Grades page. Kranz fails to mark assignments, or even group projects on time, often handing them back at least a few weeks late. Also, he doesn't reply to emails, so it's necessary to go to his office even for small issues

Does not know what he is doing. Very slow at marking and no feedback. Unfair tester sets the class up for failure.

The class would have been more helpful if it were taught in a lab. He was bad about returning assignments, but very willing to help with labs and outside of class time.

Comment:

This guy is an idiot! He has no idea what he is talking about half the time and thinks he really does. He never marks your labs and assignments until the end of the semester. It's a waste of time in my opinion!! His test are dumb too cause he makes up some for for the exams and you have almost no time to complete it well enough to do well!

This man should not be a teacher. Enough said. I learned more independently by going through the labs myself. Avoid him

Quite simply the worst professor I've had in my whole university experience! These classes should be simple but he does a really bad job at explaining everything, and keeps flip-flopping on things like due dates. Rarely prepared for class.

Just horrid! He is a nice enough guy but if I am going to pay to have someone teach me, I don't want someone so unprofessional that they wear nothing but Hawaiian shirts... he is not a University Professor. Far to GongSHOW!

Nice guy, terrible teacher! I am not sure what he was going through last semester but he was completely disorganized and kept contradicting his own instructions. Easy assignments but the computers always crashed. Had to re-take our midterm because of technical difficulties. He wouldn't give us our midterm marks until days before the final exam.

Possibly one of the worst professors in the school. Boring lectures, horrbile class and some of the labs were cancelled due to his dispute with our lab instructors. Avoid this guy like the plague.
