Worst professor ever! I'm a biology major now but had to retake Bio 1 because of him! Scariest prof when you're a freshman because he makes no sense!

This guy flat out can not teach. He doesnt care for the students. He barely knows the material. I went to class everyday and barely passed. My buddy only went on test days and got an A. Take bio with someone else or just dont go to class.

Dr. Fran is an intellectual phenomenon,no just kidding, but it was not his teaching that made the class difficult,but the material. Biochem is a tough class but I got an A by making sure I new everything he said would be on exams - responsibility

Worst professor I've ever had. Teaches out of the book with overhead slides and somehow manages to make it utterly confusing and boring. You learn nothing in class. Obsessed with his diagrams models and numbers.

If you take Franzen's class you will live to regret it. He is absoloutly worthless when it comes to helping you learn the material and his tests are difficult as well. Be smart and do not take this man's class.

Franzen is by far the worst teacher ever. My friend and I counted how many times the man said "um" in a lecture - 291. And I'm sure we missed some. When did he have time to talk?

Lectures are very confusing. If you do not go into his lectures with prior knowledge, you will not do well on his tests.

Get out while you can... lectures make the complexity of bio so much more confusing and all the diagrams in the notes make a lot of sense since it's a multiple choice test with little or no pictures on it.

His lectures are so boring, and they make no sense. His notes consist of a lot of diagram, which you won't remember anything he said abou them a week after the lecture.

Comment:
His material is impossible to learn. Its way too complicated for a bio 1 course. And it seems as though he has no clue what he is talking about in his lectures, either that or he cant even hear himself. But he is a very nice guy and means well.
