Comment:

Lectures are boring and he goes off topic way too much. There is only 2 tests so you have to be a good test taker. He does give you what you need to pass. But the 30 online tests with 30-40 page slides are ridiculous and not worth it. I got an A, but the online quizzes were the worst and I couldn't sit there an listen to him go on and on.

Comment:

Guy thinks he's hysterical. Laughs when you get something wrong. Likes to put people on the spot. It's two experiences that are ever talked about together, his in class boring lecture and his online blackbird forum that he never speaks about. Don't take this professor!!

Comment:

Prof Krause knows economics, the lectures are just very long and dragged out the material is boring. He tries to make the lectures more enjoyable by talking off topic. The assessment exams (18 of them) are tough. Two exams (midterm and final). He gives a study guide. Memorize it and be (VERY) detailed and you will do well on the exams.

Comment:

Really easy summer course, just memorize the review sheet inside out. Also there are only two tests. EXPLAIN EVEYTHING IN AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE. I got a 69 on my first test bc i didnt explain eveything and a 97 on the final. definitly recommend taking his class, you don't need a textbook bc he gives you many notes.

Comment:

Class may seem difficult but if you pay attention and write take notes you will do well. He will email his notes if you'd like. He grades based on two exams but he gives review sheets that are basically the same as the exams so as long as you understand that you will pass the class.

Very easy class; tests are based on review sheets. Just make sure you know the review sheet inside and out and that you give thorough answers on tests and you'll be good. Extra credit is a tremendous help if you're not happy with your grades.

Prof Krause is very thorough. You don't need the text. Come to every class and keep good notes you will get an A. He gives awesome reviews and will send you lecture notes. He's got his quirks but who doesn't. Overall I'd take him again.

Comment:

The teacher is Great. Three week winter class vent by very fast and easy. If you know anything about finance, DO NOT buy a book $88 it is waist of money and not refundable. Take notes in class it should be enough or look it up on internet. If you do not understant something ASK or send an e-mail. Prof is pretty good. Most students got good grades

I was VERY bored in his class. He does like to talk. But if you do write good notes and use his study guides for the tests, you'll be good.

Comment:

Lots of note-taking; HOWEVER, grades ONLY on midterm and final(no class particip) Tests are almost exactly like review sheets. If you have a question, he'll make sure that you understand the answer. Doesn't mind repeating himself. Breaks down concepts.
