Perhaps the worst teacher I've ever had. Yes he is sarcastic but I can assure you he's not funny, inspiring, knowledgable, etc. He's a true narcissist, thinks his class is the best at Northeastern but does absolutely nothing to engage students. Whole class is BS, but its easy. Biggest waste of time ever though, its not worth it I promise.ENTR2301 2019-11-21 04:03:39 +0000 UTC
He's very good at what he does and is very knowledgable. This class is very interesting and gave me a new perspective on mkting. He's worked with a lot of well know companies. 1 final project no exams, a few sm projects to give us points. Wants students to succeed. Jokes around, good discussion though & he has a lot of experience to share.ENTR6200 2012-11-14 11:04:56 +0000 UTC
Great Professor. Very knowledgable, helpful with a great sense of humorENT6200 2010-12-09 11:57:38 +0000 UTC
Great down to earth teacher. Does not care about grades, only that you succeed. Is willing to help in anyway possible, but expects you to take the information seriously. If he sees you are trying and taking his advice you will be fine. Also gives frequent days off to allow group project work.ENTR3301 2010-03-26 13:54:01 +0000 UTC
Absolutely amazing professor. He wants you to know busines, business in the real-world. He emphasizes practicality, things you need to know. You'll do work in this class that you will never have an opportunity to do in other classes. He also cares about your success. A great professor.ENTG208 2009-04-16 22:16:39 +0000 UTC
Very fun and effective teacher, one of only few classes I have enjoyed attending. Although a business course, this should be req'd for engineering to encourage creative thinking.ENTU204 2008-01-08 13:20:29 +0000 UTC
awesome prof. real-world. attend class, do your work and you'll be fine.ENTG200 2008-01-02 20:31:47 +0000 UTC
This guy is amazing. He's extremely intelligent and knows way too much. He doesn't issue much homework but does require alot of effort on group projects. Very funny guy. You will learn much in this class; he's the best teacher in the CBA.ENT301 2006-09-08 11:42:58 +0000 UTC
Didn't show up to class it wasn't worth the money. In love with himself doesn't teach anything. Let's us out 2 hours early after lecturing a love letter to himself for 1.5 hours.ENTR2301 2019-07-01 22:15:28 +0000 UTC
Great professor. Demands excellence and does not tolerate lazy students or whiners. If you want to learn about business, take his class. Plus, he goes out of his way to help you with your career.ENTG208 2008-05-31 20:58:18 +0000 UTC
Any student that doesn't like criticism or sarcasm should probably steer clear of Dr. Crane. If you don't feel it necessary to attend every class you're all set.ENTG200 2007-04-24 08:49:11 +0000 UTC
Prof. Crane knows ent well, he does not like to grade. Pick a good group as group work is major part of grade. Easy going prof. but says some crazy stuff to keep you on your toes. Don't take him if you sensitive.ENT301 2005-12-12 12:23:15 +0000 UTC
Professor Crane is an AMAZING professor. If you are interested in Entrepreneurship, his course is INSPIRATIONAL. He is very witty so I'd advise you to re-consider taking his course if you don't get sarcasm. If you are willing to get real life advise about business, and fine with criticism TAKE THIS COURSE.ENTR2301 2016-12-30 11:07:25 +0000 UTC
Prof Crane is an unconventional prof. His style of teaching, conducting the class is different. At first you may not like/understand him but if you really pay attention, he makes a lot of sense and his experience shows. He could however use some conventional methods so that students are more engaged in class and use the textbook.ENTG208 2008-03-30 20:12:56 +0000 UTC
