Comment:

He's a cool professor but he moves quickly. The criteria isn't difficult but the methods of teaching students is hard. Three exams and five quizzes, he's a pretty harsh grader but drops lowest quiz grade. Definitely not a terrible prof but not the greatest either.

Hard class! Huge Common Core fan. Be prepared to think critically and explain answers as much as possible. Reading the textbook is also confusing its best to just go off his lectures and ask lots of questions. Take home exam require a lot of work!

Comment:

Prof Krach was my favorite by far this semester. He cares deeply about each and every one of his students. He works really hard at trying to make sure every single one of his students succeeds. He likes to give out candy a lot, too. It can be challenging at times, but he will help you until you understand.

Dr. Krach is by far the best math professor I have had at Towson so far. He explains all the concepts so clearly and understands his students. He is amazing and I would love to take his class again!

Comment:

Krach made my first semester at Towson very comfortable and enjoyable. His class is difficult at first, but once you learn his teaching strategy you will be fine. I got an A and I am horrible at math. He gave one in-class, open note test and 3 take home tests, including a take home final. He is very sweet and I would absolutely recommend.

Comment:

What, at first seems like an easy baby math course, is quickly turned to hell. Tests seem easy, but then major points are deducted for not explaining every little thing you do. Most of the tests and the final are take home and homework is not mandatory, but work needs to be put in.

Dr.Krach is such a sweet man. He really wants your to pass and will do whatever he can to help you. The class was challenging at times but he will explain things as many times as you need it. Do your homework study for tests and you will do fine. TAKE HIS CLASS!

He is such a nice teacher and really explains the concepts well. I have never had a math teacher at towson that is as good of teacher has him. He is very straight forward with what he wants and what will be on the quizes and tests. The material in this class is so easy and he makes it very understandable. Definitly take him.

Dr. Krach is the best math teacher ever!!!! He is so patient. Math has always been a huge struggle for me and have hated math. I actually enjoyed coming to this class. He was great at explaining math problems and a lot of things were hands on! Lots of fun children's math toys. Highly Recommend!!!!!! LOVE HIM!

He is an extremely good teacher and explains things very easily. He is a very fair grader and the tests are easy if you understand the material that he goes over in class. First and second exam he let us use a cheat sheet and the final is take home. TAKE HIS CLASS! :)

He is an amazing math teacher. He explains everything, wants you to ask questions, gives lots of examples. Cheat sheet allowed on first test, group test, and take home final. Problems of the week, and exit passes are simple if you try. Willing to work with anyone during office hours. Review before the test. Buy the books you will use them.

HE is an awesome teacher. It was a 2 hour class but he made it so fun. He really gets you interested and a lot of group work. You can work with partners for the test and even if you dont do will he gives you a lot of other ways to bring up your grade. I wouldnt take this class with anyone else - HE IS GREAT TAKE TAKE TAKE HIM

He is very enthusiastic about math. I get at least 2 forwards about math in my email everyday. Forget it if you're trying to get an extention, or hand something in early. He's kind of a tough grader, too.
