Awesome speaker in lectures. Lectures are very straight forward and actually useful. Discussions are easy as long as you do the reading and talk once or twice. Tests are essay based but gives you the question prior to the test. Show up to the class pay attention and you will do fine. He is a great teacher and makes the material interesting

Comment:

The exam are essay form and are easy if you actually read the material, pay attention in class, and take notes (besides what's on the power points). All his power points are online so you can write notes ahead of time and add more things in when you're in lecture. Review your notes a little before the exams, but honestly it's really easy.

Comment:

Profesor Krugler's class was very straight forward. There was a total of three tests including the final which were all essay and compare/contrast in addition to one, five-page paper on the Industrial Revolution. I attended every lecture and discussion(physically) and took decent notes on the readings every week and breezed through the class.

Comment:

Dr. Krugler has very clear expectation for his class. You will have a good amount of reading to do every week but it is very manageable. If you do the reading and show up to class you will do fine. If you put in a good amount of effort you will get the grade you want in the class. I would recommend taking him.

Comment:

He is a great professor and an even better speaker. I enjoyed coming to lecture every week. He is not incredibly easy, you will have to complete weekly assignments, a paper, and study hard and prepare well for tests. Take notes on what he says as much as what he has on his slides. I'd recommend him

Comment:

Really interesting professor. Honestly I love American History but I was hoping for more focus on the Cold War and WWII. Most of the time was spent on things like the Progressive Era and the Great Depression. If that's your thing go for it. Other than that, it was a pretty good class.

Had him for History of the US since 1877. He is one of the best professors on campus! He has LOADS of credentials, including specials on History Channel, and published books. He is very helpful, and he is always willing to take personal time to help a student! HIGHLY recommended!!!

Best history teacher i've ever had. You definitely have to read for the discussion part of class but as long as you participate you will get a good grade.

A great class. Involves some work, but you learn a lot. Krugler really wants you to succeed and makes everything crystal clear so you know whats going on. If you put an effort in, he will too! He also knows everyones name in the entire lecture which in all reality is pretty awesome.

He is very helpful and sometimes makes a joke. The Texbooks are used every week but they are small compared to the other one you will get.

Very nice teacher. Learns everyone's names and does not forget them. If you read all of the assigned readings then it is an easy A. Lectures can be boring but if you pay attention you will learn a lot! Take him, you won't regret it!

Very good professor and knows the material. However he talks as if he were in a sermon. Other than that he's good and if you do the discussions and practice ahead of time for the essay tests...you'll do just fine

Comment:

Professor Krugler is very fair. What I really like was that he learned my name and hasn't forgotten it. The discussion reading is a little ridiculous. He gets the class very involved in discussion and gives pop quizes to keep you guessing. The tests aren't bad just a matter of good notes and prepartation.

Very fair teacher. Really knows his stuff. Lectures can get boring every so often, but for the most part interesting. If you give a half-ass effort you will pass. If you put forth a good amount of effort, youll get a good grade. No doubt about it.

Very Good Teacher. If there are ever any problems he is willing to help you. Knows the subject very well, and teaches it very clearly. There is a lot of reading for discussion, but easy to understand, just read it. Lecture exams are fairly hard, but if you just take good notes, and make an outline for the test (essay tests), you'll do great!
