I've taken Dr. Kraemer as an undergrad and as a grad student and he has been very consistent. He is funny, well-experienced in his field, and seems to genuinely care that his students do well. If you've taken Dr. Kraemer before, you already have your answers. If you haven't, then be ready for a very pleasant surprise!

He is very challenging and fair and inspires his students to do more. I strongly recommend Dr. Kraemer.

Dr. Kraemer is truly a remarkable professor. His lectures are clear, logical, and very organized. While you will have to study for your exams, a study guide is provided. Dr. Kraemer knows how to draw his students into his lectures. There is much that he draws from his own working experiences. You will NOT be disappointed.

Honestly my favorite professor. He truly cares about his students and their grades and is very fair. He can be a tough grader but is happy to explain what is wrong. He is incredibly interesting to talk to. Tests are long answer q's, but if you follow the study guide you will get 100%. Some take-home tests. Likes to joke around. Not much hw.

Great teacher! Funny, inspirational and very humble. He has tons of work experience outside of the classroom and gives you real-world examples. He WANTS his students to do well and works with his students, even outside of regular office hours! Genuinely cares. If you do not try to bs him and follow his clear instructions, you will do very well.

Comment:

I hate science, but this class isn't hard for me. Mondays are lectures, Wednesdays are easy labs. 2 multiple choice/matching tests, 1 final non-comprehensive. One paper throughout semester which isn't awful if you don't procrastinate. Funny guy, just laugh at his jokes and you'll be good. Not a hard class.

Dr. Kraemer is well informed and very connected to his students. He cares sincerely and will go out of his way to help. He is a fair grader, and he will expect you to earn your grade. Unlike many other instructors, he will give you the opportunity to fine-tune and even to re-submit work, provided you have a valid reason. Strongly recommend!

Dr. Kraemer is a very helpful instructor and grades fairly. He'll provide you with exact test study guides and he's also a very understanding instructor. I've yet to meet a student who did not like him. You'll do some work, but he will not work your tail-off.

I've given very high-ratings on my feedback of Dr. Kraemer and a quick check from other students will show you that I am not the only student to have such high opinion of him. He is a friendly, approachable teacher and he will go out of his way to ensure that you understand and learn the material. He'll even provide you with an exact study guide!

Excellent course w/ an instructor who is a super communicator, attentive to student success, and will be there to answer any/all questions. Exams can be challenging (are short answer), but if you attend class & use the study guide provided, you should get yourself a good grade. Top notch professor - smart enough to be at a higher end university.

Comment:

Dr. Kraemer is a fun guy. BI151 is virtually all about evolution, so if you're a creationist thinker, this is my advice to you: play the game. I don't care if you don't believe monkeys and whales are related, PLAY THE GAME. Just give Kraemer what he wants. He's a nice guy, though. Helpful. Highly recommended!

Comment:

One semester at Semo he tripled as my advisor, and my teacher in 2 different courses. I thought it worked out to my benefit! He's a fabulous professor! His classes are easy if you put in as much work as he does teaching it to you.
