This was the worst teacher I have ever had hands down. I worked so intensely hard to get such a poor grade. He does not care if you get it or not. He likes to feel as though he is the smartest guy in the room and makes you feel like you are a moron when you don't get something. I read the whole text book and I remember nothing.

This is a college course, so do you do need to keep up with the assigned reading. If you read the textbook and pay attention in class the class will be easy. Plus he gives a detailed study guide and a review day for each test! Very little homework and the homework he does give is super easy. Just read the book and you will do fine.

He was a very good professor that would always make an attempt to make material interesting. He probably spent countless hours finding web links and youtube videos to make stuff relateable. I would recommend his class, but be prepared to do some major flashcard studying (find a friend- seriously) before midterms/final.

Not only does he drop three quizzes and 1 exam there is extra credit available in the 'web review'(very easy). The written work is graded RIDICULOUSLY. I turned the final essay in a week late and got an 85, and the effort i put forward deserved a 'D'. He's a nice guy who gives snacks and good grades to his students.

This class is a breeze. Come to class, he does in class assignments that are easy (but the make ups are time consuming). Do the homework (not a lot, 8 total). Study from his power points and if you know those you will ace the tests, he doesn't put anything that is not on them on the tests. I got an A with minimal effort. He drops lowest test.

He is a great teacher. He has a strict no late work policy, but he drops your lowest exam and the lowest 3 quizzes. So it's a trade it. If you take him harass him constantly about what animal is on his socks. He does like to stay on topic, but when time allows he let the class joke around a bit.

Professor Lennartz is a great teacher. The subject matter is difficult, but he makes an effort to help students succeed by offering in depth reviews, allowing notes on exams, and dropping some of your lowest scores. My only issue is that he goes through the lectures too quickly, but he posts the slides on canvas so you can review them at home too.

Super easy class! Took this class with Bio 6 and had no trouble at all to get a solid A in both. Show up and do the in class assignments (allows you to skip 1 for each exam). 4 exams but drops 1. Online Quizzes, drops 3, which you can find online. Only used book for quizzes. 1 page of notes for exams front and back. 4 papers, drops 1! Boring lec.

I took his online course for psychology and I highly recommend. You have discussions every week but they are easy & he gave me 100/100 each time. We had 4 exams and a final exam at the end, however he drops the lowest score. I tried to do well on the 4 exams so I could skip the final. Do the study guides and you'll ace the exams.

The class itself is more difficult and requires lots of effort to grasp concepts. Professor Lennartz is great and very kind! Lectures sometimes go fast, so it is important to review the concepts. He also adds humor to lectures to make it less boring. Drops 3 of your lowest quizzes, and drops one of your worst test grades!

This class was mediocre. He drops a ton of assignments and your lowest exam grade (or you just don't take the final). You get an entire page front and back of notes for each exam, which earns you an extremely easy A. However, he is boring and often times a bit rude. He is quirky and very monotone, easy A if you're willing to sit through that.
