Pros: Does not take attendance
Cons: Must read the etext
Must buy his online book
He has an online web thing that lets him know which students are reading his book
Overall, he is a great professor. He gives a 10 point extra credit assignment thats easy.
Can definitely get an a if you go to every lecture and keep up with the readings online. Also it helps to ask questions on tests- usually he will lead you to the right answer.

Pros: I personally loved this class! I learned so much relevant information, not just information to do well on the exam. This class is great for someone who is genuinely interested in child development because he has such great knowledge and knows exactly what he's talking about. Also he's always willing to talk to students before/after/outside of class. If you're taking this just for a requirement and have no interest in it, I would not recommend Krantz as your professor because you won't do well. From what I've seen, only those who are genuinely interested do well in the class
Cons: If you don't go to class often, or don't read the e-text, this class is not for you. I went to class every day and read the e-text and got high As on all exams, which is really all it takes, but on the grade roster a shocking number of people didn't pass the exams. Each day 2/3 of the class is missing, so I'm assuming that's why. If you go to class on a regular basis and will read over the e-text eventually, you'll be fine

He is a great teacher. You will learn a lot from him. He does not use power points so you have to go to lecture to get the notes. He posts videos of his lectures on line if you can't make it to class. You have to buy the etext. If you go to class and read the book you will get an A
