Comment:

Krebs was my favorite this semester. You learn a lot about theatre and you go and watch a variety of plays and musicals. You had 3 reviews to write (10% each). Attendance is 30% and the final paper is 40%. A wonderful, humorous professor who is very passionate about theatre. Its a shame hes retiring after this Fall 2018 semester.

Eric Krebs is the best professor I've had in my entire life and I wish I could take this course again. Strongly reccomend. We just had to show up, write a reflection email and that was it. Guarunteed A. Plus he really does care about his students and about the arts. He's so nice and inspirational.

Comment:

He's a good man and he's funny. I am not a theater person and I don't like history so his 3-hour lectures were boring to me. Especially since you aren't allowed to use your phone and computer. Don't fall asleep with your head down because he wakes you up. If you want an easy A, here it is. Learn to sleep sitting up. But seriously, he's a good man.

Comment:

For a business school to have a pre-req for theater class is stupid. However, Professor Krebs is a good choice for that class. 3 reviews (all about 2 and 1/2 pages) and a final (7-10 pages). Good teacher, funny and entertaining

I took him for two classes and honestly, i would take him again. Yes, he expects a lot from students, but the assignemnts are not hard and he is very objective. His knowledge is inspiration and his passion is great. Take him!

Worst professor in Baruch College!! his lectures are boring and have nothing to do with his class, the plays he takes us too are not entertaining. He's a terrible grader, attendance is mandatory. Stay away!!!!

Comment:

The best professor at Baruch College so far. Theater classes were inspirational and I would even say entertaining. However, be ready to write: 3 theater reviews (3 pages) and final (7-10 pages). Other than that it was the easiest class for me. Gives opportunity for extra credits

He's very passionate about teaching - it was truly an awesome experience sitting in his class. Everything he did was a form of theater and it was quite the learning experience. I would definitely take him again. His knowledge on theater lights the room up. Definitely one of the best at Baruch. Would recommend!

attendance is mandatory since he takes points off (unless you have friends marking you present). bunch of reviews and one final project. final project is 7-10 pages. comes down to one factor ...if you don't like to write keep away from his class.

Comment:

He is great! You will finally understand why taking liberal arts is good for you:) Reviews are not hard, just write your own opinion and thoughts. Final exam is taken home but don't leave it to the last day because it's ten pages. The class is very active: you go to lots of performances and meet a lot of people in the classroom. TAKE HIM!

He is the best professor I have had in Baruch. He is very funny and very passionate about theatre. I was always looking forward to his classes. I will surely miss him a lot. Also we got to watch amazing shows. 3 reviews and one final. I got an A. Highly recommended.

3 Reviews (3 pages each) and 1 Final Term paper that he gives you at the beginning of the semester. Attendance is mandatory and if you don't go, he deducts points. He can be very mean at times, but his knowledge and passion is there for sure.

Comment:

Professor Krebs is very passionate about theater. There is a lot of writing (3 reviews - 2/3 pages each, 1 final - 7 to 10 pages), but its manageable and he spreads it out over the semester so it's not much of a workload at once. Attendance is required as well. Not a bad class, got to see some good plays.

I would't recommend his class. For Baruch as a business school, he just gives you many worries. He is not clear on grading and doesn't tell you what he expects from your 7-10 page final.

The best class i ever had. He is very interesting you never know what to expect. He is passionate about theatre and arts and really tries to engage everyone. Not many assignments just a couple and a pretty easy class. Love that he tries to get the students to see as many possible shows.

This man is very passionate about his work. I learned a lot about theatre and it's actually quite enjoyable. The class was boring at times, but it was a very cool experience. Attendance is required, 3 reviews (2.5-3 pages each), and a 7 page final. It sounds daunting, but it really isn't. Recommended.

Fun class (visiting museums & performances and writing review articles on them)! Eric Krebs is a very laid back prof, kind & helpful. Knows a lot about theater industry. The only thing, I wish he spent more time on in-class discussions with students and gave some comments on our written work. Otherwise great, easy class!

BEST CLASS EVER! There is a field trip every week. 10 short response papers. 1 presentation. Don't blow the class off though. ATTENDANCE ON TIME is MANDATORY! Papers are not graded easily but they are not too hard or complicated. Prepare a presentation with powerpoint and make it professional. I got an A but I heard slackers didn't. LOVE HIM!
