Comment:
Very thoughtful, and the tests are very difficult - if you don't study. I took Ethics and Existentialism with him. Big Neitzche fan. His classes require real thought - not recommended for people who just want an easy elective A.

I love Dr. Krebbs - He has the mindset of a philosopher so his lectures are a bit tough to follow and his test are hard but not impossible - I made high A's on them. They're essay test-when he tells you he wants everything on there he means EVERYTHING.You have to actually put work into his class-like a college student should.He's an AMAZING teacher

Comment:
Does not use visual aides. Lectures are impossible to follow along with. Textbook is over thirty years old and is not relevant. Only teaches opinions about philosophy and not philosophy itself. Study guides are unhelpful. Tests are near impossible for me. A terrible experience for myself.

Comment:
Dr. Krebbs is a nice man, but not a great professor. The class is not the hardest, but not the easiest either. His lectures are straight from the book, but his tests are not so easy. He likes to ask questions that nobody is going to think to study for. I would recommend a different professor, but I believe Dr. Krebbs is the only professor who teaches ethics. Just go to class, try and get involved in the discussions, and study the chapters thoroughly for tests and you should do good.

Comment:
Taken several classes with Dr. Krebbs: intro, existentialism, and religious philosophy. YES the classes are difficult: they're supposed to be. It's philosophy, not basketweaving. If you're willing to do the work, speak up in class, REALLY read the assignments, you'll be fine. If not, you shouldn't be in college.

Comment:
Syllabus is not inline with subject matter. Professor abuses his status. Professor is not effective as a studied academic scholar. Professor should revamp his classes to the standards of the UT Austin level. Unfortunately his class is a bit of a joke.

Comment:
Krebbs is a brilliant man. He knows what he is talking about and tries to keep his students thinking. If you do not like to think, do not take his classes. His tests are essay form and studying is required, at least in his intro to philosophy class. His teaching methods are often abstract, but formatted to be relatable. VERY INTERESTING CLASS.

Dr Krebbs just wasn't able to present the material in a manner that made it understandable. He required a tremendous amount of reading and too many assignments. The class was dry and extremely tedious.

I loved Dr. Krebbs, the information was really easy as long as you studied and I would call him if I was ever confused and he was always helpful. I enjoyed the subject matter especially parts on God, I was really impressed with his knowledge, he is so smart. I was a freshman taking this and will have an A+ so just put a little work into it

Material is very interesting, and Dr. Krebbs has a good sense of humor. He gives essay tests, but he reviews and has study guides for the material.

I love this guy! He is by far the greatest professor I've had at UT Tyler so far and the easiest to listen to. Very funny. He's not as hard as everyone thinks he is. I have NO background if philosophy whatsoever and I made an A in the class. Take him! He's awesome!

Dr. Krebbs class was hard but if you ask for help he gives it. Not for the non-serious student.

Way too hard for Freshman Seminar! Last semester on the first floor of the BUS building I overheard him asking another professor to come teach Freshman Seminar and "...help us weed out the garden". That should let you know his intentions. Avoid!

Dr. Krebbs is the kind of guy you want to hang out with. But as a professor, he lacks clarity. He doesn't tell you his expectations unless you ask him in private and his grading methods are a complete mystery. The content of the class is really interesting and he really tries to expand the minds of his students. Fun, but tricky.

He seems pretty odd. His lectures are hard to follow. He does sometimes give handouts as notes, but they are also confusing. The tests are usually essay and quite vague. Only take this class if you really love philosophy and are willing to speak up a lot in class (he does a lot discussion.)
