Comment:

Took him for Psychopharmacology- it sounded like the most interesting course under that heading for the psych requirements. Difficult class but this guy knows his stuff. I managed a C in the class (grade is based on 4 tests- 400pts). He always offers to help and answers any questions. If you're looking for the easy way out this isn't for you.

Extremely nice but hard to follow! He never stays on track and ALWAYS talks about how much he hates the government! You NEVER turn in work but you have to do it because the tests are based on the worksheets and textbook! READ THE TEXT!!!

Comment:

Only take if you can read the book and remember little details because that is what is on his test. I read the book, got a low B on 1st test, D's on the 2nd & 3rd, and I maybe a high C or low B on the final and ended up with a C. Don'y have to go to class cuz he does not cover any material in class that is on test.

Comment:

Prof. Kruggel is a nice guy with great intentions; however, he is boring and you have to force yourself to pay attention. He does not cover in class most of the info on tests but if you read the text and use the study guide, you should be ok. He's fair and always offers to help. You don't really have to do anything in the class but be sure to read!

nice guy, boring class. he just rambles most of the time. he can be very helpful if you need it and the stuff he mentions in class is what's on the test so notice what he talks about. would recommend him but he's not fun. he got mad at our class a few times for being bored.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He is a very boring professor and he does not teach the material that you need to pass the class. You basically have to teach yourself. His lectures are very boring and his style of teaching psychology really sucks. If you are planning on getting a good grade or actually learning I advise you to take another professor.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. he sucks as a professor. he just rambles on and on and on some more about nothin at all in a very boring voice. does not cover material needed for tests in lectures, he expects you to teach yourself.

Comment:

Class is somewhat difficult. Attendence not mandatory but you really need to be there if you want to do well. Make sure you have the lecture outlines and note taking will be much easier. Tests cover a lot so please don't wait until the last minute to read and go over the information. Very nice and helpful professor but class is pretty boring.

Comment:

Not an easy class. Must read the book! Tests are all MC, and he gives you sample test questions and questions of the day (several of which appear on the tests). He gives you outlines, which he follows during lecture. Plus, the info. is really interesting. I'd recommend this class, but you have to be willing to work.

Very hard class. No attendance. Always stay the whole class time. Long boring lectures that you need to pay attention to to do well on tests. Tests are all MC, but are still very hard. Don't take this if you don't want to work hard! I'm an A student and got a 70 on the first test.

Very hard grader he either gives you a good grade or a bad grade there is no in-between. If you write poorly he seems to be angry at you as if it were a personal attack. Can be a nice guy when talking to him but taking his classes is another story.

His voice is....interesting. You will be bored in this class but trust me if you dont go you'll miss some information you'll see on a test. So just grit your teeth and bear with it.

Comment:

He seems like a nice guy, but he is no help at all. You can try and read the book all you want be his lectures are contradicting. You ask him for help and all he can say is "look at everything", "look at your syllabus" or his favorite "go get tested". Try to avoid him if possible, you'll be sorry if you don't.

he's a very nice guy who knows a lot about the subject and is interesting to talk to. however his tests are very difficult, you really need to know the material, and his voice tends to put you to sleep. gives a lot of little assignments for points, but not nearly enough to get you by if you don't do so well on the tests.

Comment:

Hard class if you don't read every thing you have. The tests are difficult b/c he takes info from the book, lecture, website, CD-rom, and if you ask for help he says "well you can refer to your syllabus..."... take a different teacher. The only thing is he is SOO nice and very smart, you can tell he knows what he is talking about.

Comment:

Wonderful professor! very knowledgeable. Gives a detailed syllabus that explains everything, he's very organized. His tests are a little difficult and you have to do a lot of reading but he gives a lot of LITTLE assignments that really help your grade. Doesn't take attendance and a very nice man if you don't ask stupid questions.
