Take him! He is funny and will give you help if you ask for it. He usually gives a couple extra credit assignments throughout the semester.

Overall this class is very enjoyable. I suggest attending class and reading the text book. While reading note both the bold terms and end of chapter questions. He is really nice and does research, so he offers volunteer hours. There is plenty of extra credit given so he really cares about your success!

Comment:

Dr. Craddock is quite an interesting character. He is very sarcastic and quite funny, and seems to love what he does. I learned absolutely nothing from his lectures. If you take him, just disregard anything he says in class. Pay attention to what chapter will be on the test, as long as you read the textbook, you will be A-okay!

OKAY LISTEN HERE. If you need to take any bio, take craddock. He is the funniest, wittiest, sassiest, intelligent and passionate man you'll ever meet. I sat on the front row the whole semester and it was the best decision I have ever made. He genuinely cares about his job, and all the tests are the end of chapter tests. 10/10 on the zaddie scale

Comment:

I took professor Craddock for 1110 and 1120. It's definitely necessary to go to his class unless you get the notes from someone else. He doesn't really ever assign homework. The quizzes and tests are a little difficult but it's usually straight from the notes. The questions on the final come from the quizzes and tests.

Comment:

It's biology, so it's not the easiest subject. He is a good professor and is interesting. He doesn't understand the online textbook much, but it helps you a lot when you need it. Paying attention in class is key. He will help you if you have a question.

Comment:

I had him for both 1010 and 1020. He is a great teacher and cares that his students understand the material. He expects you to read the textbook, but I never did and made an A in both classes. Show up and take good notes and you will be fine. Pro tip: The review questions at the end of the chapters are on the tests.

Comment:

Craddock is a good professor. His lectures are usually interesting and he can be extremely funny at times. His quizzes usually come straight from the notes. His tests are difficult because there is information on them that we didnt go over in class. However, all these questions come the book. read the book and study your notes and you'll do well

Comment:

Craddock is one of my favorite professors by far! Attendance is not required but you'll be missing out on a lot if you don't go. If you can, try to get some old tests and quizzes to study from. He makes Biology really interesting and you can tell he's very passionate about it. I would definitely take him again!

Actually teaches, actually helps students who are struggling. Quizzesexams are based from back of the book questions. He gives back the quizzesexam with the correct answers to study for the final exam which is the 4 previous exams combined. Highly recommend.

Dr Craddock is great. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you should go for the sake of learning from what he knows. If he knows you, he will really help you pass.

This class isn't too bad once you figure out how he grades. If you're one of the people who can't stand when teachers don't erase the board completely, you may want to reconsider taking him. It's a good idea read the chapter alongside your notes. And DO THE QUESTIONS IN THE BACK OF THE CHAPTERS. He uses the same questions.

Easy class if you have old tests/quizzes. He asks just about the same exact questions from old tests. Attendance not mandatory, very confusing at times but nice guy and helpful guy. If you get your hands on an old test/quiz your set.

Comment:

Mycology was highly interesting. However, Dr. Craddock made it miserable. The lectures were monotonous and his handwriting was worse than a doctors. Mycology is a very interesting subject that was made to be boring by the professor.

Comment:

Interesting class. Read the book and go to class and you will make an A. tests are multiple choice and sometimes an essay. Exam is a review of old tests. Lecture is sometimes confusing but worth going. I would recommend this teacher.

Comment:

Professor Craddock isn't exactly what he seems on here. His quizzes are easy, but his tests are ridiculous. He puts questions on the tests that we haven't gone over, and he admits it. But he won't give you points back on them. We took three tests and an exam and I didn't get over a 75 on them. I read the book and took notes and never skipped class.

He's a very good professor. He knows his stuff and is able to convey it crystal clear. He will hold you to the bell. You rarely use the book, never in class.

Comment:

This professor is not as easy as his ratings reflect. Most people got a C in our class. He isn't an easy professor, and if you want to do good in the class you have to go every day, study, and take notes. Not easy, but a B earned w/ little effort.

Comment:

He is not always super interesting and his handwritting is hard to read so sit up closer. He doesn't take attendence so it was hard to go sometimes. But I never really read the book so going to class helped. Do the quizes in the back of each chapter. He takes questions from those quizes. I would reccommend.
