Comment:
I think Professor Krassner is a little too easy, but that's really good. Easy Easy A. Two Midterms, fill in the blanks. Lecture isn't mandatory, and the professor is really nice and concise.

Comment:
Probably the nicest professor ever. You don't even need to go to class. Just go over the practice exams online, memorize them, and got it. He gave a major curve for both tests. And that's all that goes in the grade. One midterm and one final. Very easy class, just memorize.

He's a great teacher to speak to during office hours, and will answer any questions (even dumb ones) that you may have. Midterms and the final are pure memorization of the notes provided online. Very little need to read the book.

Comment:
Who said this class was an easy A that's totally ridiculous! Lectures are interesting but midterms and exams are complete about memorizing. Lectures are slightly obscure and there isn't really any notes. You just need to write down what he says and still that's hard to understand what's important and what's not.

Comment:
NOT AN EASY CLASS. He has no lecture notes; hardly writes on the overhead; he just TALKS FOR AN HOUR, hard to figure which details are important to write. Goes off on many tangents. class is all about memorizing SEVERAL genus/species like "entrobius vermicularis" & "ancylostoma duodenale" lol.

Teaches straight out of the book so you can ditch class and not miss anything. The final is fill in the blank so you have to know what is going on. Its not too hard. Nice teacher, brought food for us on final day

Tests are fair and focus on ability to diagnose given a specific circumstances. *A lot of memorization!!*

Comment:
Krassner's lectures are BORING! He reads straight out of the book which I might add is a bunch of websites printed out and bounded to a reader. In his office hours, he just repeats his lectures so there really is no point. He's a nice man, but really boring.

I agree with the comment below. I would say bring your book to class because he tends to read along with it, so you have to be active while you're reading and it's much harder to fall asleep that way. Weird old man though...

Comment:
He has this voice... it just puts you to sleep.. but he's a bit sarcastic in a way that when you are awake, you'd be amused. His tests are fill in the blanks- read the book, know your material, and you should be fine. But do try to pay attention in class... it would definately help.

Lectures are obscure; hard to determine what information is important. Exam was based entirely on lectures, study sheets were virtually useless. Test is fill-in, requiring good memorization. Hostile towards students. Has invaluable life experience.

Conveys information effectively. Very helpful but at times mildy cynical. If you want to know about diseases, take this course.

Dr. Krassner admits & notices that people fall asleep in his lecture, but he is a very fair tester. GO TO HIS OFFICE HOURS they are more helpful than you can imagine. GREAT TEACHER overall.

He has a wealth of knowledge and if you enjoy learning extra stuff that you wouldent have learned from a textbook, take his class. he leaves the extra simple stuff up to you and gos into the interesting stuff in class.

Had him for Parasitology. Bio majors should enjoy him for his wealth of knowledge. He doesn't try to trick you on his exams. Easy to talk to.

Comment:
each lecture is basically an outline of the chapter. he covers too much material in too little time, and his voice is monotonic and dull. if you look around the class, at least 20 percent of the people will be passed out at any given time.
