Prof Kram teaches well sticking to detailed lectures and slides. He's helpful to the extent of answering most questions. He is very friendly and jokes around often. In lab he explains things well (for the most part) and gets involved with every student on their own levels. His patience is okay but can be tested. Keep in mind he is fairly new to pgc
Great professor! Always willing to help. Just pay attention in class and you should definitely do well. The lab quizzes are weekly and easy, you just really have to make sure you pay attention and take good notes. I rarely studied just paid attention and did well! He is really nice! I really recommend his class!
Professor Kram is a nice instructor. You have to pay attention during his lectures. The great thing is that he post everything on blackboard for review. Just keep up with the weekly Lab Quizzes which coincide with the Lecture Partner Quizzes (Classroom Quizzes). You get to partner up with a classmate for these quizzes which was a real benefit.
I HAD MR. KRAM FOR LAB AND HE WAS AWESOME. HE KNOWS ALL HE IS TALKING ABOUT AND HE KNOWS HIS MATERIAL. HE IS VERY FUNNY THROUGH THE STRESSFUL COURSE. HE KEEPS YOU INTERESTED IN THE SUBJECT.
He is a quite decent teacher. If you fail his class, it would kind of be your own fault. His teaching is straightforward and clear, plus he is reasonable. Just study (or memorize) key points from the lecture and you should be fine.
he is the best teacher i ever had. he makes learning interesting. You will have a good grade if you attend class.He don't mind how meany questions you ask. B.Kram is excellent teacher.
Good Good Teacher, very clear to understand, he lets you work in pairs on his quizes. He actually knows what he's talking about. And he very open to any questions you have. and he hardy gives homework. Great Teacher Overall
Great young Professor
very good teacher and very nice
Prefessor Kram is a great professor. I took him for summer 2 and past (YES! you MUST study everyday and do all work and you will do well. I am so glad I had him for Biolody1010. he does not have the red pepper for nothing. Take him if you wan to learn, pass and not be stress. I wish there were more professors like him.
He was a thorough yet easy-going professor which is a relief for summer. He didnt require us to buy both textbooks only the lab manual which saved us all money. He was professional, yet funny, articulate. This was not an easy course but gives good study guides. I definitely recommend taking his class if you have the option!
His handouts are helpful and the power points are always available on blackboard. Unlike most teachers, what he teaches in class is actually on the test. STUDY and do your work, don't be afraid to ask questions, go to him when you need help and YOU'LL PASS! Honestly if you fail its because you played yourself.
Very Good Professor
Hands down the best prof I've ever had. He is very clear and patient. Gives study guides and practice exams for lecture exams. Lab quizzes are fairly easy. You must pay attention to understand material! He works with you if you have trouble understanding. No reason not to pass this class. I hated science before his class, got an A.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! HE IS CLEAR, HELPFUL, NICE AND FUNNY. TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
Professor Kram is one of those professors who will make you love the subject by introducing the material in a very dynamic way. His classes are fun, interesting and very CLEAR. If you do not understand something he will take extra time to help you out. Make sure you study super hard and he will give you an A.
Very good teacher.
Magnificent Professor!!!! what I liked the most about him is that whatever he teaches on lecture is actually on the test.. he doesn't try to screw you on the test and his study guides are very helpful trust me, just make sure you do your work and study. He's a very young teacher and very outgoing, best BIO teacher I had so far!!!
He is awesome! My favorite so far! Read the slides, pratice questions and study guides and you will be just fine. He is willing to help you as much as he can and also very understanding and generous!
One of the best professors I've had across 1 higher echelon private catholic university, 1 high ranked research school, and PGCC. Extremely into his subject and loves to talk about it. The kind of professor that makes freshmen students want to major in biology.
Pof Kram is the best teacher I ever had in my entire education.He is professional,well organized, punctual,very polite,and always willing to tutor his students.He breaks down the material for you to fully understand the class.trust me,You will fall in love with Biology and chemistry if you take him.He's the best.Took him in 2010.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
This Teacher with a big "T" should teach other teachers how to teach. He is just awesome.very passionate.If after taking his class you don't understand biology there might be something wrong with you.Wish he taught sociology.
TOOK HIS CLASS LAST SEM....AWESOME CLEAR TEACHER JUST LISTEN AND YOU'LL GET AN A. GOT AN A AND I DIDN'T EVEN ASK ANY QUESTIONS. JUST DON'T MIND HIS KILLER SMILE BECAUSE IF YOU DO YOU'LL LOOK STUPID STARING AT HIM.
Very smart teacher; he communicated well and was easy to understand. Made the intro biology class very fun and interactive.
Mr. "Kramberry" is an amazing teacher. I loved biology before taking his class, and it's great to have a teacher who loves the subject he's teaching. He doesn't give useless information, and gives a fun jeopardy review before every test. His study guides and practice tests are to closed to the real thing, there is no way you can fail doing it.
Mr. Kram is a brilliant teacher who is really knowledgeable in his field. He teaches his subject with such eloquence and clarity that most anyone can understand. He is also really nice, and helpful. His goals are to help everyone pass and understand what is being taught. Wonderful teacher, I recommend!
This Professor is really awesome! The best professor I have ever met in PGCC. He is very helpful and make students are interest in Biology. He doesn't require the students to buy lecture books except lab book. You can get an A if you take notes in class and review them before the test. He is very hot teacher too. I highly recommend this professor.
No comment! best Bio professor at pgcc. This young guy knows his stuff, and you can tell he has a passion for teaching. Amazing!
Oh!! MY GOD he is so so awesome. He cares about his students.His tests are super easy. If you study his power point, you will get A+.Easy A I wish he teaches me another class. If you have to take BIO classes take him without any questions.
MR.KRAM IS THE FREAKING BEST!! If only he taught higher level biology classes, I'd take him again! He really makes sure you understand the material, good office hours, and he's very helpful. Tries to be funny sometimes, he can be hilarious at times! BEST TEACHER EVER, TAKE HIM!!! :)
Professor Kram was one of the best teachers I've ever had. He told you exactly what was going to be on the test an what to study. He did not require a text book in my class so I didn't spend hours reading things I wouldn't need on the test. Makes class fun by giving fun activities such as jeopardy. Very approachable. Don't be late on the quizzes!
He is the BEST...I am so glad I had his class!! I wish he taught BIO 2050
Professor Kramberry changes the way you see biology. He takes you to a 3D world. He is very knowledgeable and very kind. Enough said!If you don't take him you will regret it!
Best biology professor! I recommend everyone to take Mr.Kram. Every lecture is well understood if you pay attention. He keeps the class interested and also gives you a great study guide for test. Wish he taught bio 2050 also !
Clear on lectures, really helpful, would recommend!
Best teacher ever if you read his power point also he gives testing material highly recomand if you want to see A grade on your grading point best teacher....I wish I have him for my other bio class
One of the best professors in PGCC. Very helpful and clear with the material. He is always willing to help students clarify what they don't understand.
He is an amazing teacher! Also their to help students with anything they need. You just need to not miss class, read the notes, and you will be fine. I wish he taught a different science class.
Professor Kram is the best, he has a great way of teaching that students can learn and have a good understanding of biology on a intro level. His teaching methods are not over the top and you will learn the basic of biology. I recommend this class to students that want to have a good teacher that honestly care about his students learning.
He's Hot.
Took the summer class which lasted 1 month but passed! He makes it easy to learn and a lot of hands on activities. I wasn't good in Bio in high school but he has a great way of teaching!
Professor Kram was a very very very very TOUGH grader, He is one of those professors who expects his students to be very specific when it comes to short answers on his tests. His lectures aren't boring at all just long. Just take great notes and study the power points and the study materials he posts on BB and you should be fine.
Mr. Kram was my fist college professor and he did an awesome job in easing my nervousness about college professor stereotypes. He's a really great and easy teacher (as long as you follow his rules and respect him).
great and hot teacher
Cool, chill professor but you need to study and pay attention because the tests could get tough sometimes.
He's an overall great professor. If you do all your assignments and don't skip class you should be good to go as he drops your bottom 3 lab quiz grades. Make sure you study for tests as far in advance as possible because the tests are the hardest thing that I've ever had (I am a 3.0 student) that's what dropped my grade so much.
He is very nice and helpful teacher.
He doesn't care if you don't understand and does not take in consideration that the class has different types of students. He does not take the time to thoroughly explain it to those who are older and require much more explanation.
Biology can be a tough subject. With your own hard work and Mr. Kram help you will pass. There are 3test 13 quizzes and a Final he drops of three lowest quiz grades.
Easy to talk to
He was a hard grader but it is what most students need.
As a students you expect the teacher to be available for guidance and go over and beyond to help out his pupils. Students who's first language is not English, try to AVOID Mr Kram, I want no one else to drop/fail the class. His an arrogant professor we are here to seek knowledge, if example of what we se are not up to level,then what we will lear
Professor Kram is a OK teacher. When it comes to going over material and providing extra resources for his students its amazing. However coming to exam time, his study guide only provides you with the general idea what is going to be on the test. So its up to you to decide what is important or not. Pay attention to detail he will take points off.
Take this professor if you DON'T want to pass. He makes the tests hard for no reason. He doesn't help students whose english is not their first laungage in fact he doesn't help nobody I know 4 classmates that fell the class and they tried really hard to pass. I would never take him again or recommend to any student
He's a really great professor, very funny, good looking, he surely is passionate about teaching biology, but his exams/quizzes can be tough if you don't study. PLEASE STUDY IF YOU WANT TO PASS. I barely passed his class.
Prof. Kram is the best. He is extremely organized, and fair. I dont recommend missing his class, if you miss one class you will fall behind!! He gives very detailed study guides and tests are easy (study like hell for the chem one though). If you are looking to truly LEARN Bio, take Kram. He also talks fast: non-native english speakers beware.
He's very straightforward and very well respect, def recommend
I really loved his class. He is very structured and he really knows what he is talking about. He explains everything in depth and also posts it all online. You can access him outside the class in his office and email. His exams are kinda hard but if you study hard and ask questions, he will answer and you will pass. He's also very hot LOL
THIS PROFESSOR IS EXTREMELY HARD IF YOU DO NOT STUDY OR ATTEND CLASS ON A REGULAR BASIS. EVERY LAB YOU WILL HAVE A QUIZ OF PREVIOUS LEARNED MATERIAL. HIS TEST ARE REWORDED IN WAY THAT CONFUSES YOU BUT HE IS OPEN TO OFFICE HOURS AND QUESTIONS. SO IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND MATERIAL DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK HIM. HE IS VERY WILLING TO HELP
Professor Kram isn't bad at all. I suggest that you record his lectures/lab. Pay attention and make sure you have all PowerPoints ready the days your scheduled for class. Do not talk in class, he will definitely tell you to leave his class. You will be fine. I passed with a "C". Tried my best, but what matters is paying attention and not giving up.
He's very straightforward, you have one shot at everything. Keep up with the quizzes and homework. Take notes, submit all work on time, STUDY and you'll be fine.
Bring a video camera record to all the lectures because the tests will have a question on a random fact that he says out loud that is not on the powerpoints. Also, buy the recommended textbook that explains more in depth ( if it is in your budget). That was something that I regret not doing.
Professor Kram is always happy to teach I will never forget his respectfullness. he gives extra credit , and he ready guidelines to exam.
Very good teacher, he applies examples to everyday life for a better understanding. I would've gotten an A if I studied better.
He is a really good teacher. I took him for summer semester and believe me I learned a lot more than I expected to have. I would say he is the best professor I had so far. Just listen, take notes, and study and you will pass. He is really encouraging to his students.
He is a great teacher and he truly cares about his students. He is always available and actually encourages for you to meet him outside of class with any questions. He gives to extra credit and makes learning about biology actually fun. He is one of the best teachers i have ever had! If you show you're actually trying, he will work with you.
Really good teacher. I was able to learn a lot in this class. His teaching style is straight forward but for quizzes and test his wording can be confusing.
Took him for Genetics at MC. Seems new to the topic so he was learning as we were. Cool with grading. If he made a mistake he gave away points. Not the most skilled at teaching but I think that will come with more experience. Show up to class. Study his lectures/Power Pts. Study his exam preps. Understand material before leaving or ask questions.
he is an awesome professor, if you do what you're supposed to do it wont be a problem
I took Prof. Kram last semester and I can say he is a great teacher! He was very clear and broke things down for students. He also drew some things out on the board to break something down even further. He gave extra credit by playing a jeopardy like game before an exam.
Just perfect
Kram provides study guides and PowerPoint's on Blackboard that will prep you for the lecture exams and Blackboard quizzes. A textbook is not necessary since all of the content is taught during class and from PowerPoint's. He will occasionally crack jokes, which is a nice break from his straightforward demeanor. A fantastic professor that can teach.
Professor Kram made one of my worst subjects enjoyable. A great balance between giving students the information needed to pass exams and making lectures fun and engaging. He uses review games to help motivate students to study up right before exams, and it works wonders. He also makes sure that students' needs are met. A solid choice.
Really good professor, was able to pass with an 85% but I missed an exam. Really dedicated to being a BIO professor. Learned alot and retained alot. Keep on top of due dates as he won't remind in class but he'll have a schedule or assignment calendar online.
He is one of my favorite teachers ive had. I would love to take his class again. He is simply amazing. I dont i will ever forget him.
I enjoyed having Prof Kram. He is very respectful and well organized. You will have to make sure you study for the exams! It's a lot to study, but it all ensures you will pass. If you don't study, you can forget it. I would have like to have a study guide for the lab exam however. I could have got a B, had I studied better, sooner.
I took his class in fall 2019 and unfortunately I could have changed my C to B because I wasnt putting in much effort. Just read all the slides he gives and follow the study guides he gives. The extra review games he does give extra credit
Prof. Brian Kram is great. He makes his lectures very interesting. He is reasonable. Yes, just like all college courses you do need to study to do well in the course. Overall, great professor and I learned a lot.
he is too mean and does not forgive. professors should make school easier for one and not a lion's den. I will never recommend him.
Professor Kram is highly structured, detailed and knowledgeable. He answer you straight and if he doesnt know the answer to your , he will give his honest and best feedback. Grading is very clear. He makes sure that you will not missed the quizzes and exams. Highly intouch with students. Always prepared and very nice. Im glad to be part his class
I was worried of taking Biology 1010 online in the summer during a pandemic because of the labs. Though it did make it a bit harder, Professor Kram posted narrated PowerPoints with YouTube videos and explained the material in great detail in a way that is easy to understand. I didn't use the textbook much for the lectures, but I did for labs.
I loved professor Kram's lectures because it was very direct and broken down thus easy to understand. He constantly sent out reminders for upcoming assignments and tests. He was also very understanding to his students throughout the semester. The best part was we did in-class revisions of chapters and possible questions before every test opening.
Prof. Krams bio 1010 class is pretty easy in my opinion, you just gotta watch the pre-lecture videos which are usually graded as homework, and it explains most of everything that will eventually be on the unit tests. There is a lot of assignments but they tend to all be pretty easy.
Professor Brian Kram is one of the best teachers I have had this year. He is organized and ready to answer any questions you have. The only bad thing about him is the amount of work he gives, but other than that, he is a great teacher. I would highly recommend him for a BIO1010 class
He is an amazing professor, literally one of the best at PGCC. His lectures were easy to understand and if you had any questions, he was quick to answer in brevity. His quizzes were only easy if you attend his lectures and complete/read over your workbook. Also, very caring and funny. I would take him again.
He was not bad at all, although he did have to go on maternity leave so I didn't have him long. However, he left a nice structure of work and weekly assignments which was not confusing at all. Although biology is hard, I think it would have been way worse with another professor.
Professor Kram is the best professor I have taken. Would recommend
Professor Kram is honestly the best. His lectures are well spaced out and straight to the point. I would recommend coming to class because we so have graded assignments that we do in class. We only used the textbook for lab and the quizzes and exams are easy if you pay attention in class. His slides are very informative and gives lots of help.
Professor Brian is one of the best teachers in PG. Take him you won't regret it. He gives extra credits. He cares about his students and is always available if you need help. Professor Brian has a study guide in each unit. The study guide will help you prepare for exams and lab quizzes; so be sure to study with that.
Prof Kram Brian is the best. If you want to pass his class, try watching his pre-lecture videos and use the study guide because it helps. Please take him if you want to pass.
I absolutely loved Professor Kram's class. He would have us work in groups and play little games to help us get engaged and actually enjoy learning. If ever you do not understand something, just ask him and he was always accessible during office hours. Take his class and I promise you will not regret it. He is very passionate about teaching.
Professor Kram is the best!!! He has videos, PowerPoint presentations, and recorded class sessions to help you. He gives extra credit which I recommend everyone to do to give their their grade a boost. Overall, his quizzes/exams are based on the book and lessons! I am not good at science itself and biology isn't easy, but I passed! Take him!!
Overall a good professor. But, if you are a student that also has more responsibilities and other classes to tend to, this is probably not the class for you. His assignments are tough and he does a lot of group work which sometimes creates an inconvenience. My fears of lab were confirmed and rather would have taken it in person than online.
Prof Kram is the absolute best teacher in PGCC, he would have you learning biology in the nicest and easiest ways.
Professor Kram was a great teacher. Class was completely online, quizzes were open book. As long as you do the work, you're going to pass. He is very professional, can be a little boring at times and lack personality, but does not matter if you are passing I guess! Email can be a toss up, but overall take this class for an easy grade.
Professor Kram is a caring respectful professor. I took him remotely for BIO 1010 and passed with an A. He's not really a tough grader. He'll give you chances if you have a valid reason. Just do your work and you'll be fine. You will have to read a bit and watch a lot of videos. Good luck!! :D
prof, Kram is easy chilled and laid back. Take him and secure your GPA
He's great at answering emails. This is in person class but most quizzes and classwork is done online outside of class. He is pretty chill overall and his work is easy just need to study to understand the material.
Amazing professor. Explains everything very well in detail, will answer all of your questions. Replies back to emails on time! PLEASE TAKE THIS PROFESSORRRRRR for ur own good :)
This Professor was the best honestly. Take him and go to class you'll get an A. the quizzes and HW are all do Sunday but some things are due in class so make sure you go to class. But super easy just read the material or use (chat) you will pass. he is super nice and will take time so you can understand the material.
Professor Kram makes biology engaging with interactive lessons. The workload is manageable if you stay on top of it. Using unstuck AI and the free textbook really helped me ace this class.
One of the best professors I had, you can easily pass with an A. Beware there are no makeup opportunities and deadlines are absolute.
