Reviews of professor Jesse Krause

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Animal physiology with him was easily the hardest class I've ever taken. That said, it was hard in the fair sort of way. For example,if I missed questions on a test, it was because I didn't study enough as opposed to the question being bs. Professor was amazing too. If it's a choice between this class or another, this is a very safe bet.

I began the semester with this class being my least favorite and ended the semester with it being my favorite. Dr. Krause is passionate about what he teaches and keeps his lectures interesting with detailed diagrams, drawings, and tables. It's a super hard class, but if you spend time memorizing the information you will do well.

People who are hating on Dr. Krause didn't try. This class is extremely difficult BUT if you go to class it'll make sense. Dr. Krause has spent years learning all his criteria and draws out everything from the PowerPoint on the whiteboards. He's the best if you put the effort in! I enjoyed my time in the lecture and lab, he always made me smile.

Do not take him. Me and my friends studied for a test together and had similar answers on the final because we used the same 45 page study guide and he gave us an F in the class for cheating when we didnt cheat. He purposely makes the class super hard even in a pandemic when we are already stressed. Do yourself a favor and dont take his class.

Dr. Krause is a great professor that has a lot of weaknesses that could be turned into strengths. He is quirky and entertaining. His tests are next-level, but he gives amazing study guides that replicate the exam. He puts a lot of time into creating online quizzes that can be rough and you can check your answers during office hours, not google.

My class section seemed to be apprehensive about the way the course went, but I found Dr. Krause to be a great lecturer and open to feedback from students. When first exam averages were low, he made a lot of effort to make studying for them easier. That being said, exams have a ton of free response so if you dont know the stuff, you wont pass.

This class is by no means easy but attending lecture is the key. Krause likes to draw pictures and diagrams that explain the concepts he is teaching. If you do the drawings and then fill in information from the posted lecture slides you will do fine. There are 4 exams and 8 quizzes. Exams are closed note. It is a content heavy class but very doable
