This was an Environmental ethics class. Krasemann is a great teacher. His goal I believe is to personalize your education.

Krasemann is brilliant. It's been 12 years since I studied under him but still have his books for references and instruction for my children. Krasemann lives his faith in Jesus and it is evident by the interest he shows in his students. A life changing experience is what I received from his teaching.

Dr. Krasemann doesn't just teach you school stuff, he will teach you about life...the most important thing to learn about. His stories are awesome. You will feel very smart after his class. He's prob the first person to really make me believe that anything is possible. If you have the chance to take him, DO IT!

I HIGHLY recommend taking his class! He is a wonderful teacher and a really cool person! He structures his class very conversationally and makes the information very interesting! I was disappointed when the class ended! If you want to take this class you have to register right away though because it fills up FAST! don't skip class, you'll miss alot

Mr. Krasemann's Business Ethics class was phenomenal. The material in this class really makes you think about the choices and decisions you make in everyday life. He doesn't just give you a grade--you must earn it but if you're present and involved you will surely get a good grade as well as inspiration and knowledge.

Class will be boring if you don't get engaged and ask questions, because otherwise he just talks and talks. Only 3 graded assignments (midterm, final, and term paper). He's got an eccentric sense of humor and is chock full of ways to view life. Some of these are brilliant but others might not register with you. Book and attendance aren't needed

He definitely does not fit the typical philosopher. Dr. Krasemann is a very distinguished and accomplished man who teaches very excellently through stories and simple summaries of the material. All you do is sit through lectures, take two tests, and do a project with a partner, all really easy. You will learn so much about philosophy and life here

Prof. Krasemann (seems overqualified for COD) would open my mind to new ideas during every lecture. I was not looking forward to this class since I am a chem major fulfilling core class requirements however, I can say i am glad I took this class. I crammed the day before the tests and did well, and test material is reviewed every lecture.

although i was not happy getting a C, he isn't a bad teacher. class gets boring really fast too. but if you studied for his quizzes and test, you would get a good grade. he also drops your 2 lowest quiz scores but that doesn't mean you should slack off because it could make or break your grade. only take the class if you are wiling to put in effort

He's easily distracted and has a monotone voice. He goes off on random subjects and there isn't a clear structure to the course. It's hard to take notes because you never really know what you're supposed to be learning. Random assignments, midterm, paper, and final grades. Doesn't use blackboard.

He makes difficult concepts easy to understand, though I encourage you to put your own effort and interest into it, otherwise you won't learn.

Dr. K is an interesting man to say the least. The atmosphere of his class is very laidback and you feel more like you're talking with a friend than a professor. Hilarious, obviously a genius, and makes you actually care about the class. My only advice would be to have a cup of coffee before class because it can be somewhat slow paced occasionally
