interesting lectures. tests are confusing, be sure to do the practice exams he gives you

Very excited about his field, although it isn't exciting. But his tests are difficult.

Very detailed with great information. Very interesting topic. Tests can be difficult just know your stuff and go over ALL of the practice exams thoroughly and you will not have a problem. Excellent professor.

Excellent professor! To graduate from WSU, every undergraduate should have him for at least one course.

My favorite professor of all time. The information is interesting and he does a great job explaining it. If only Dr. Krane could teach all the bio classes!

Just follow his lecture notes and you will do fine. Make sure you study all his old exams and his lecture notes, then you are sure to get an A.

He is a very nice guy...always willing to help...just study his notes and go over the old exams, then you are sure to get an A in the class...the labs sometimes can be hard, but if you attend every lab and do the work...you'll do great in the course

Good prof. Knows what he's talking about.....just as him. Just study notes and old tests and an easy "A" is waiting for you.

Great prof. Likes to teach and does it well. Really got me interested in molecular biology, which eventually led me to grad school research instead of med school. Has lots of good stories to tell.

Excellent professor. Very knowledgeable with lots of stories. Interesting to listen too. Material is rather challenging but course notes are very helpful. Overall I recommend taking him for molecular/genetics-type classes.

Awesome professor. Will do anything he can to help you, as long as you give it your best shot. Tough material, but he gives you everything you need to pass with an A. Study the notes and his previous exams and you have all you need. Great guy.

Probably the smartest man you will ever meet; yet, he knows how to teach at a student level. Dr. Krane makes this challenging course easier to understand via lecture notes and awesome stories.

One of the best teachers from the biology department. His tests mostly consists of questions from the old tests. He includes the old tests with his notes.

Krane prefaces the class by saying every other class leads up to BIO 211 and it is the climax of our education. Overall, you learn A LOT w/out knowing it. Good prof and very helpful. 85% of test questions come from practice tests but many are changed slightly so beware of that. Easy to find old test (I had about 30 old tests).

Easiest class ever. Has exams from prior years online and takes questions from them for his tests. The difference between an A and B in that class is the TA. The lab portion dictates your grade because the test are an easy A so focus on lab.

I LOVE Dr. Krane. He is so funny and so intelligent. How he even ended up at Wright State is beyond me. He could teach anywhere. His class is easy because if you go to lecture he teaches the material in very simple terms that anyone could understand. Even if you're not a BIO major i would take his class just because it's interesting.LOVE THIS GUY!!

Krane is awesome. All his notes are online, you can even watch the lectures online. Makes old exams readily available to study.

Krane was a great teacher. He's very intelligent, friendly, and helpful. However, I found this class difficult because I am not a BIO major. Krane goes in-depth with a lot of the material, but it is still a doable class. If you have to take any BIO class, take it with Krane! Don't buy the book or the lecture notes, just the lab manual.

Fantastic professor. Loved him and his class. Made it easy to learn and get an A. If you have a chance, talk to him. He is an expert in DNA and forensics and has been involved in a number of high profile cases including: the OJ Simpson trial, the first World Trade Center bombing, the DC Beltway sniper case, etc. Incredibly interesting man.

Absolute best professor I have ever had!!!

DrmKrane was very interesting from day one. He was enthusiastic about the course which was contageous. He always responds to emails w/in several hours, which is always helpful. Material is in depth, but he's always there to help. He makes past tests available which makes a huge difference in preparing for a test. Great professor & very knowledgable

Smart guy, keeps it interesting and always tells us what e ned to remember for tests.

Krane is awesome. Records lectures and poss them online and encourages us to stay home and sleep and watch the videos later because class is at 8am and who can pay attention at that time. Answers emails within hours of sending even if you send at 11pm by the time you wake up in the morning you already have a reply. Absolutely awesome teacher!!!

He was a very good professor! I choose not to buy the book because it was so expensive, and I still did good. The first test was rough, but if you apply yourself, such as go to class, re watch lectures, and actually put some effort in, you will be fine. Don't screw up on the first test like I did, because it is hard to raise the grade to an A or B.

Great teacher! I would certainly recommend him.

Krane will provide you with tons of resources. He records all of his lectures and posts them online. He also posts past tests and keys and uses them as his exams. Studying these was the key to passing the class for me. He's funny and nice but a little arrogant. Better than the prof who took over for him. His lectures felt like watching NOVA.

Professor Krane is a great start for a bio major. He really does well to get you excited about what he's teaching! I suggest that students read the lecture notes before lecture, it helps in retaining the information.

He was very tricky and I had to study tons, but I believe his tests were fair...I'm just stupid in Biology so I didn't get the grade that I'm always hoping for.

I really loved Dan Krane. He was rally nice and super smart. I really love bio and I tried really hard in his class and thankfully I came out with an A. He's a great guys tho, take the class

He is really helpful and his exams are easy if you study for them., do not only study the practice exams.

He is an excellent teacher, and his lectures are worth going to class for. he also put recordings of the lectures online, along with the ppts. The exams are pretty tough, but you know your grade right afterwards, and as long as you go to class, take good notes, and study, you should do fine. Supplemental Instruction times available.

Was an amazing biology professor! Made the lectures optional and was extremely clear in breaking the material down for us. Sad that he doesn't teach the second semester biology class. Would definitely take him again!

Dr. Krane is a very interesting professor. He does his own DNA profiling on the side of being professor. His exams come directly from his old exams, making them not that difficult.

AMAZING PROFESSOR, highly highly recommended. If you study old tests, you'll do well. Not many grades though.

He really knows his stuff, and he makes the content as clear as possible. Find time to study the tests, as most questions are from past exams. He made the final exam vary quite a bit from the practice exams though, so make sure you know the material as well. He records every class on Tegrity. The more you apply yourself, the better you'll do.

Krane is a very progressive and enjoyable professor. He uses online office hours and posts his lecture audio online. Honestly you don't need to go to class except for exams. He is completely clear on what he expects. If you review his lecture notes and his old exams (that he recycles for new tests) you can easily get an A.

Krane is a good professor. He makes it clear that you don't have to come to class on the first day and he puts recordings of lectures online for you to follow. He gives every past exam for you to study and look at that really help with studying. He's funny too!

He posts practice tests that are his old exams. STUDY THESE! They are basically the same as the exam he will give you. Didn't really need the book and I barely showed up.

This is definitely a class you need to read for. But if you read the study guide and do all the past papers before every exam, you're guaranteed a pass at the least. I only figured this out till the end of the semester when I found that he was taking questions straight from the past papers he put on pilot. Overall this was an okay class.

Start studying the past exams day 1. He posts every exam he's ever given before onto Pilot. He takes questions directly from them. He'll modify the questions a little bit, but those are going to be your bible for this class. Also, his lecture notes are really helpful. I'd advise printing them out or taking notes from them before class.

Great teacher! Tells you exactly what you need to know to get good grades.

Krane was a pretty easy class. You are not required to come to class. He posts all his lectures and previous exams online so just studies those and you will do great. He literally puts them right onto the new tests. He knows what hes talking about.

Going to start out by saying. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOUR AREN'T A BIO MAJOR!!! This is not an "intro" class even though it requires no prerequisites to join. If you do take the class make sure you spend a lot of time reviewing multiple previous exams, only way I passed the class.

This guy is a great professor. He is fair with his students, and all you need to do is learn the material. Only three exams, and everything is practically covered in class. TAKE NOTES!! I repeat, TAKE NOTES! But you will not regret taking his class, he teaches everything you need to know!

The class is not as hard as many say, you just have to attend the lectures and read his notes (they are amazing btw). Study the material and old exams and youre set. The things thats amazing about krane is that he is very understanding and kind to his students. He reaches out to those who need help, goes above and beyond than most professors.

He wants his students to succeed and is willing to help in the ways that he can. He also offers a special Recitation to help further your understanding of the course and to prepare you for his exams. Make sure to look over the practice exams that he provides you and you will pass.

Krane's class was very structured and I found it very easy to learn the material without going to lecture up until the third part of the class. After that, he began mentioning things that were not in the powerpoints or textbook so going to lectures was crucial. He did not help me much but he provided us with all of the resources to succeed online.

Krane provides all the tools needed to succeed in his class. I highly reccomend printing out his lecture notes and taking notes alongside them. All his old exams are posted and as long as you study these heavily and pay attention during lecture, his exams are relatively easy. He is extremely caring and seeks to make an impact on his students!

His class is very difficult. He gives you access to the old tests, so take advantage is that. You still need to know the material though; knowing the old questions only gets you so far. He will change them up. He is tough and fair. I do recommend him despite his difficulty.

Good teacher. Makes sure you have everything you need online.

Provides many resources and a very effective instructor. Put in the work and you will pass.

I love Dr. Krane, great guy, really knows his stuff. Most clearly graded class I've ever taken. Why most people are complaining about him is because he doesn't ask you to just regurgitate the definitions he gave you in class. Instead, he will teach you about how a system works and then ask what would happen to said system in different circumstances

He is very test heavy. There are 3 tests worth majority of your grade. Even if you did bad on one test it would be very hard to get an A in his class, unless you got an A in the lab. He gives out previous tests. STUDY THOSE. If you study the previous tests and make a quizlet out of them. You should get an A. He's an understanding professor.

I loved Dr. Krane's class. It's what made me realize I had a passion for BIO. His bio class was lecture heavy, so I wouldn't recommend it if you don't have a passion for it. Yet he is a sweet, happy guy and was always willing to answer my questions. This class is easy but do study for exams.

I really liked Dr. Krane, his class was super easy, and I really enjoyed how he taught in his lectures. The lab was fun, but it didn't really go along with the lecture. Make sure not to fall behind like I did and cram in assignments at the last minute. There is a textbook, but I never read it and I did just fine. Just make sure you study for exams!

Professor Krane is the best professor I've ever had. He's a pretty funny guy and is passionate about what he teaches. The lectures are pretty interesting but can be pretty boring in the beginning of the semester. He records lectures, creates lecture notes, and gives past exams to study. If you show up and take the practice exams, you'll pass.

Dr. Krane is genuinely one of the best professors I've had who's passionate about his work. As long as you study looking over notes and the past exams he provides, you'll be in good hands. SI sessions are a HUGE plus as well. Attendance isn't mandatory, but I suggest never missing a class so you understand the units better.

Look..Dr. Krane is awesome, I'm just not a fan of his teaching style. I want more than just a lecture and an exam, I want engagement. I found myself bored, but the SI sessions were helpful enough.

Amazing lecturer. Quizzes, lectures, and exams are all the same content so you never forget to study. Provides ton of practice exams and notes materials for exam study. Overall, incredible biology teacher (even as someone who does not like the subject at all). If you need a science credit, his class is totally worth it

Dan was an amazing teacher. The lectures covered exactly what was on the tests, and there were a lot of past quizzes posted, which were very helpful when preparing for exams. He was very reachable and replied quickly, gave great feedback, and interacted well with students.
