Comment:

You have to go to every lecture. While a lot of his lectures are just long theorems, there are portions where he explains word problems which are on his tests. A lot of his tests for Calc 1 are difficult problems from webassign. You need to do every webassign and understand the material if you want to pass this class. Extremely hard final.

I was dreading Calc 1 at 8 AM, but Krog made it work. Really knows his stuff and explains it clearly.

Loved Krog! If you ever get the chance to take him, I would 100% recommend it. He's always ready and willing to help and he is very approachable.

Love Professor Krog! He makes an 8am class so much better. As for the lessons, he gives examples for each concept and ask questions to make sure everyone understands. For homework, it is online on Webassign and one hand-in from the textbook. Tips: go to class and DO your homework. His test questions are similar to homework questions.

Comment:

Krog is a great professor but the Calculus I class is very hard. The good thing is that you have a chance to change that on the final exam. If you score a higher grade on your final, then that is the grade you'll receive as your overall score for the course. You could get F's during the semester, get an A on your final, and pass with an A!

Comment:

Professor Krog is the absolute best math teacher I have ever had. He is crystal clear during his lectures and is always available to help. Take advantage of his office hours because his homework is hard, but most of it is very doable. As long as you attend class and pay attention there should be no problem with the material.

Comment:

He explains everything with examples. He welcomes questions but just stands at the front, talks, and writes everything on the board. HW is online, don't buy the textbook but you need the online code. He seems unapproachable and impatient if you don't understand. He makes little jokes and lets you skip the final if your class grade is high enough

Comment:

This is such a difficult class. I am a math major and this class is 10x harder than Calculus I so be prepared. Chapter 11 is the hardest (Infinite Series). He is there for you though so take advantage of office hours. Test are very difficult and DO THE HOMEWORK. If you do the homework, your quizzes will be easy A's.

Comment:

I absolutely loved this guy. I took calculus in High school, however, I learned more in one week of Krog's class than I did in an entire year in hs. He goes in depth to help you understand the topic at hand and he is a very lenient grader. The homeworks do get to be a bit much but he averages them all as a test and then drops the lowest test grade.

Krog is an amazing professor. Assigns homework every week on Web Assign and you have a week to complete the assignment. He gives you so many chances to pass his class. HE drops the five lowest homework's and the lowest test. If your final exam grade is higher than your current grade, you will get your final exam grade as your overall average.

I enjoyed his class! Took it at 8 and it wasn't bad. It's math so it's going to be a challenge but if you put in the effort, it's not too bad. He has office hours to help with questions. Homework is online; if you get a question wrong you can get another chance to submit for full credit. There are practice problems w/ explanations to help.

Comment:

He knows his stuff, as the Chair of Mathematics should. Teaches the material way too fast. Gets impatient quick in office hours, and also is not very approachable. Take someone else if you can, unless you naturally understand mathematics.

Comment:

Krog is a good teacher and he should be because he is chair of the Math Dept. Get up at 8 to take him. Everything is clear and his tests are very fair. Homework online is annoying and harder than the problems done in class. It's also rather tedious. He is a good teacher though so you will learn enough to do well on the final and bring your grade up

Comment:

Calculus I is an extremely difficult class, at least for non math majors. Prof. Krog definitely goes through all of the theory behind calc as well as some practical applications when possible. It will be difficult to understand all of the material in class (since its 3 days per week especially) but Krog is exceptionally helpful during office hours

Comment:

Had him for Calculus I. I guess he's a good teacher, when you have him just in class. Encourages people come to office hours but get ready to hear moans and sighs of angst as he has to explain something to you that, unfortunately, you didn't understand.

Great professor, very clear with his explanations. Its a boring subject but he does his best to keep it entertaining. Attendance isn't mandatory which makes it very easy to fall behind. Quizzes once a week, very easy. Overall a good class.

This class is not hard to do well in, IF you keep up with the work. He is more than willing to help you with anything you have trouble on. DO THE HOMEWORK... his quiz questions are from the assignments.

if you do not know anybody in this class you will not do well...if it is required make sure to get a hw buddy because hws are 50% of your grade and its tough, not to mention he is a tough grader...put in the time and effort and maybe just maybe you can walk away with the A
