Comment:

Kraemer is really great, but he's not a joke. He's not going to prompt you through his class, so if you're looking to be led by the hand you should probably choose a different professor. But if you're willing to participate and give his lectures your full attention, you'll learn so much and really enjoy yourself! I loved his class!

Kreamer is the BEST. Very straight forward and clear on his expectations on the class. Best to go to lectures however if you happen to miss class read the chapter associated with lecture in the textbook and you will be fine. Tends to put "trick" questions on exam. not really tricky just worded differently, if you study you will do fine

Dr. Kraemer is awesome. I'm graduating this year as an environmental studies major and I took most of my electives with him. I didn't do as well in them as I had hoped, but I think I've learned the most from his classes out of any professor I've had. His tests are hard, but not unreasonable. Do the readings and the classwork and you'll be fine.

Kraemer is amazing. This was my first class with him. He is funny and helpful. The class (urban ecology) overall was interesting. The labs are fun and almost never in the classroom. There is homework every week, or a lab assignment. Two presentations, and three tests. I will take many more classes with Kraemer!!

Comment:

kraemer is very knowledgeable but can be condescending at times. he also seems to put trick questions on the tests as if he wants to take points off for silly things. there is a lot of math for a class that was advertised to me as not having a lot of math at all.

dr. kraemers lectures are pretty interesting and he often helps his students understand concepts by letting us apply them. his tests are hard and can ask really specific questions that may be hard to remember. but hes a great guy who loves to teach. if u take marine ecology, be prepared to handle crabs

Got my first C+ in his class. Very difficult tests. He always puts small details you might not have heard in class on the test. Make sure you pay attention and take notes!!!!

This guy is the best, I took SMW Ocean Life with him and loved it, I really got a lot out of it. He personally cares a lot about what he's teaching. I did think my grade was going to be a little higher though, but oh well.

He's my adviser and I love him. His workload is kinda insane sometimes and makes me wanna shoot myself in the face, but he's very easy to talk to and understanding. Makes me laugh, keeps me intrigued and i can even say he's one of the most influential people in my life.

Kraemer is an awesome professor, he's funny and very helpful. His lectures are clear and he gives lots of heads up and review for the tests. If I wasn't so lazy I would have done much better in his class, but overall it was very interesting and very fun. Kraemer is the man!
