Comment:

Unless you made 2nd communion don't take him. He assumes everyone should already know the material which isn't the case.

Comment:

Your best bet would be to not take him. He's a nice guy but his class is terrible. His tests take days, weeks, to study for and he only gives you a few days. Take someone else.

Comment:

He is marvelous. He's a really good professor and might be boring at times, but the material isn't exactly of high entertainment value. It's a class on spirituality for crying out loud. He speaks beautifully on prayer, and that is his strong point. I would highly recommend him if you are serious about deepening your spiritual understanding.

Comment:

Fr. Krupa grades hard. He gives handouts with everything on it so you don't have to do too much outside work, like reading, if you don't want to. His tests aren't too bad if you memorize everything on the study guide WORD for WORD bc the study guide is exactly what the test is. VERY boring, I fell asleep almost every class..don't take him at 8am!

Fr. Krupa is a very very nice man, and super helpful...very interested in what he is teaching and is pretty much in LOVE with Dorothy Day! BUT...BORING class! Easy, but SUPER BORING!! I seriously didn't learn very much because I couldn't force myself to pay attention or read the books! The tests are easy tho...exactly what is on the study guide!

Comment:

Class covers some interesting topics but a lot of the lectures are VERY broing, especially when you get to Dorothy Day. Krupa is a nice man, but his tests cover EVERYTHING; he does give you a study guide though with all that you need to know. Also, his grading scare is kinda tough: 91 is a B+.

I really enjoyed this class. Fr. Krupa is a nice man, and if I was ever confused about any of the material he would gladly help. His tests are straightforawrd, everything is on the study guide. Just be sure to watch your grammar, he's picky about spelling and stuff. Overall, highly recommended.

Comment:

easy class if u attend the classes, read the material given, take notes, and put some time into studying -- he tells you what is goin to be on the test -- EASY class but hes very difficult and kind of rude when you talk to him personally -- so ur basically on ur own (thank god its easy)

Comment:

Very nice man. Always willing to help anytime. Review sheets are given before all tests, but you will have to memorize them. They are carbon copies of the tests, yet there is alot of info on them. Not as easy as you would think. Attend class and put in some effort and the class is not that bad.

Very nice and so sweet. I loved him so much as a person, but as a professor... His test are very hard. He gives study guides before exams and you have to memorize/understand absolutley EVERYTHING! He is always willing to help, at any time of the day..

I loved Fr. Krupa. I think he is a hilarious cute old man with a lot of interesting things to say. His class is easy as long as you memorize everything he has on the sheets for the exams and you'll do fine. That gets annoying, but its still easy as long as you're not lazy about it.

Big Daddy Krup Krup, my friend calls him! He is an EXCELLENT teacher! Reading is involved and lots or memorization, but he goes through everything in detail, and if you have any questions, e-mail him or ask him and he will help you out! Go to class, listen, and you should be in fine. HI RECOMMENDED!

Comment:

Admittedly difficult, but also very engaging teacher and spiritual guru of sorts. Only recommended for those who are seriously interested in Christian Social Justice, Prayer, and Christology (study of the nature of Christ). He speaks beautifully on prayer. A must have for RL minors or majors

Comment:

Wow this man is boring. He's a nice guy and everything, but the classes are unbearably boring, and you are only allowed to miss 2. The easiness (test=verbatim study guide) is not a fair trade off to the boringness. Did I mention boring?

Horrible class. Enjoy getting preached to? If not, don't take this course. He likes to tear apart Freud and prove him wrong every chance he can find. He sucks, don't take his class.

I did study, I did take notes, and I did participate in class and he was still a difficult teacher to take. Yes, you are expected to know a lot in college; however, I think he went overboard with having us memorize EVERYTHING

I thought he was very easy, but that ease came with actually taking notes, participating and studying. He did require you to know A LOT, but isn't that expected in college!? I loved Fr. Krupa and would take him again!

Class is boring. His tests are REALLY hard, you have to memorize everything word for word. Studying for weeks will not help!!! Every test has objective section, short answer, short essay and LONG essay (ALL IN 50 MINS).
