Dear Hank,

Thank you for teaching my AP Bio class because you do one hell of a lot better job than my teacher

[verenizetrujillo]

I would just like to take a moment to thank Hank and the rest of the CrashCourse team for helping me pass my classes this semester. I couldn't have done it without y'all.

"Cross stitched onto a pillow for you to sleep on..." is one of the cutest voices I've ever heard come out of Hank.

My teacher gave me the best way of remembering the classification hierarchy;
Kinky (Kingdom)
Pants (phylum)
Come (class)
Off (order)
For (family)
Good (genus)
Sex (species) ... Enjoy

I like how this channel never does clickbait

"Wait for it...the Sponge!"

Do I detect some parallelism between the Sponge and the Mongols?

All around are biology students, cramming info
cramming infooo
Gotta cry I have to hide my sorrow
testing tomorrow, testing tomorrow....

Hahaha I find it funny that everyone here was talking about how they were a bio student cramming for exams. I am a Vet Tec student whose professor put this link in our homework assignment.

Hope you guys did will on your exams.

[gultair]

Wait for it.

You said that, and I immediately thought of "Unless you're the Mongols"
CrashCourse. I love your programs.

I really like these because they don't drop the specific information for the sake of being entertaining, and yet still can add in fun bits every once in a while. I enjoy learning this way, thank you for helping me become a better scholar.

Thanks hank you saved me from failing my science class and from my asian mother's slipper of fire
👍uwu👍

Reading Bill Bryson’a a short history of nearly everything. Had to pull out my microbiology with taxonomy textbook. Thank you for your detailed presentations they are helping immensely with understanding this tip of the iceberg.

I watch these videos before I go to my bio class and I always end up laughing out loud in a hallway surrounded by other students. Thanks Hank. 

[nathanmuir]

Omg he's so young. He's even getting caught up on words so cute

[destinyallen]

I have the APBIO Exam tomorrow so thanks for posting all of these videos, including this one because it's so much to memorize.

Dear Hank,

Can we get a Crash Course Biology II?

Best Wishes!

I was on the edge of my seat, felt a bit like he was mocking my excitement for evolutionary biology. :-)

This is how I chose to study for my biology test :)
