Comment:

Took Calc1 for GE & had done it before in hs. Barely passed, hs lectures are WAY better than hers. Attendance mandatory b/c of quizzes. Shook when she said smth along the lines "If I give 30 problems out, it should take 30 minutes." On average, per hw assignment takes me 2 hrs. Never responds to email. More stressed than my hs AP Comp sci class :(

Comment:

This is the worst professor I have ever encountered. Disorganized and arrogant. Sets you up for failure from the start. Lectures are mess. She jumps in-between chapters without properly announcing topics, makes mistakes on board, fails to fix them. Never responds to emails. Quizzes are not in sync with either hw or lecture. Avoid like a plague.

Comment:

I am going to be straight, I used to be 4.0 student until I took her class. Whatever you do, just take someone else. I passed with a B- and none if the people I met in the class got to pass. She does not teach, like, at all.

Comment:

Topics introduced rapidly, w/ poor explanation. Long, difficult HW assignments. Quizzes occur almost every day; of 30 class sessions, there were 24 quizzes (only 8 were passed back by the end of the semester). More than half scored 50% on 1st midterm. Arrogant; often states that difficult concepts are "easy" or "not rocket science".

Comment:

Awful, In my class of around 35 students, 15-17 stayed till the end. I wud say around 12/17 failed. The people who passed just got a C. For her midterms, only 2 people passed out of 35. There is a lot of online homework and written homework which are hard and time taking. The bad part is that her TA or may be herself grade it like a test.

Comment:

She doesn't help you with anything. All she does are examples and you won't be able to see what she's writing because she blocks the board. She doesn't answer her emails so don't bother. She won't help you during office hours either. She gives quizzes everyday without warning and you can't use notes. She also gives way too much homework online.

Oh god, it's bad, it's so bad. You think Physics 230 was hard? You think Calc 2 or 3 was hard? Oooohhh boy, get ready, this class will change your life, will redefine what hopelessly confused means, THE HARDEST TEST I HAVE EVER SEEN, there's not way out, you can't escape, stop fighting it, there's only pain. ADVICE: do Khan Academy BEFORE it starts

Comment:

AWFUL!! Takes off points on homework and tests for no reason. Gives quizzes everyday and never tells you the topics ahead of time. Takes forever to grade. Gives way too many questions and not enough time to do them. Homework takes days. Doesn't let you use calculators on tests. Gives no feedback whatsoever and is horrible at explaining. STAY AWAY!

Comment:

Not only the worst math teacher, but worst teacher I have ever had. This professor does NOT know how to teach. She mumbles to herself in class. Will not answer questions directly. Will NOT respond to emails. Goes thru 2 to 3 sections a day and expects you to be an expert immediately. Avoid her at all cost or prepare to teach yourself calc. HORRIBLE

Comment:

Worst professor I have has so far. Started off the semester using the wrong edition to the book. She figured this out a few weeks into the semester and re-assigned all the homework we had already done. Test are hard, lectures are confusing and not helpful. She doesn't show her work and does only example problems without explaining. Be ready to fail

Comment:

Professor Krause is a tough professor. Expect a quiz in class EVERY SINGLE DAY. She doesn't know how to teach and you won't learn anything unless you already have an understanding in the subject at hand. She doesn't explain the problems she just does them and stands in front of what she's writing in the board most of the time. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS

Just not a good teacher. I passed, but just barely and did not make a high enough grade to move on. I retook the class at another school and got an A. I hate to say it, but I would avoid here if at all possible.

Comment:

I have never contributed to thi ssite before but now I feel I must. Professor Kraus seems like a nice person. She is elderly and has mobility problems which causes her to be late to class often. Her lectures are confusing, assignments are ignored until the last moment, then she assigns a mountain all at once. Her tests are insanly hard! AVOID!

Comment:

I wish I would have checked the reviews before taking her :/ emailed her many times asking about hw with no response. Very confusing lectures that consists of examples only. Makes a good amount of mistakes. Exams are similar like the practice exams which is helpful. Pretty much had to teach myself tho. She is a nice lady, but I don't recommend her

Comment:

I highly recommend not to take Krause. Good lecturer, but notes are really confusing. She doesn't show any work, leading to confusion on where something is coming from. If you show work that doesn't look like her's she will take points off (BAD!). If you're prepared to cram less than a week of HW, take her. It stressed me out.

Krause is a very nice lady, however her lectures are confusing and be prepared to take quizzes on material that was based a couple of weeks ago. She gives quizzes almost everyday. If you missed/failed an exam be prepared to come to class everyday to make sure you don't miss the quiz(they are all unannounced)

Comment:

Good lecturer, but disorganized at times. Her homework problems are difficult and time consuming, and the online homework is assigned almost at last minute, making it seem rushed and not enough time to get the concepts. Midterm and final was identical, but still hard either way. So disappointed I got a D- in the course. Find someone else.

Comment:

Shes super enthusiatic about linear algebra, which is awesome but thats where it stops. Shes extremely disorganized. Had no idea what my grade was the entire semester. Wont give homework for weeks then assigns it a week before tests. This makes taking the daily quizzes difficult since we get no practice with the problems. Doesnt respond to emails.

Comment:

As a person she's awesome. Her love for math is obvious. As a teacher, somewhat disorganized, and not always easy to understand her expectations. In person, her responses are usually crystal clear and helpful. Exams were downright identical to the study guides. She assigns deep homework problems. Prepare to spend more time with them than I did.
