I don't think anyone can dislike Justin- overall just a nice guy. He really tries to teach you how to read papers but will test you mainly on the Inquiries subject (metabolism). Difficult quizzes but a pretty lenient grader, so do the readings and try to ask questions as much as possible.BIOL2299 2021-02-19 04:07:15 +0000 UTC
you basically have to do all the work yourself. he really weirdly likes vague answers on quizzes. the quizzes are super important and save you from the stresses of a midterm, but be sure to do the readings. and basically study the topic yourself. he's funny, but really unenthusiastic.BIOL2299 2019-02-21 20:34:13 +0000 UTC
Our whole class LOVED Justin. To be completely honest, he was a pretty normal guy, but our whole class fell in love with him. He is such a gem, his slide shows are a mess, but would very much recommend this great guy. Make sure to call him Justin, he loves it.BIOL2299 2018-12-11 13:28:44 +0000 UTC
Justin is the best! Lectures are all over the place so definitely do group study session before quizzes because you will definitely miss important things if you don't! But overall great guy :DBIOL2299 2018-12-11 13:24:37 +0000 UTC
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to have learned from Professor Crane's class. He's a fun guy, for sure, but his powerpoints mostly consist of pictures from scientific papers so you have to write quickly to take down what he says, because it'll probably be on the quiz. Having many quizzes instead of a few midterms was the only thing that saved me.BIOL2299 2018-06-18 14:20:53 +0000 UTC
Professor Crane is very funny with his one-liners, but he won't let the class laugh for too long because this guy means business. You are assigned HEAVY reading every night, but quizzes are mainly conceptual and lecture based and not too specific.BIOL2299 2018-04-13 10:52:46 +0000 UTC
