Very cool & funny guy. Quizzes once a week, often partner/group, 1-3 questions. He is good at answering questions and reviewing for tests. Save & study your tests for the final. As long as you do the homework and pay attention you'll be fine.

Professor Kruger was the best math teacher I have ever had. his lectures were easy to understand and were simple. He used power point and did examples on the board which. There are quizzes every week, usually group quizzes and the exams were literally the wiley. If you do the homework you should get a 100% on the exams. do hw and go to class!!

He's ok but really annoying. When he explains a problem he is very quick and it's difficult to catch up with. He expects you to already be really good at math.

Hands down the BEST math teacher I've had. If you like a teacher who will explain to you step-by step how to solve problems, TAKE HIM! I loved the way he taught & this class was pretty easy because of that. Honestly, if you show up, pay attention, follow along as he does the notes, AND practice outside of class you'll be fine!

This is my second time taking a class with Prof. Krueger and leaving a review. I took him for 118 in spring and now 132 over the summer. Again, the BEST math teacher. I finished with a B in 118 and now an A in Calc 2. For Calc 1, I got a B with a different teacher ( I wished he did 131 over this summer). If have to, snag a class with him!

MATH 110*, not 117. His class is easy but please do these 2 things to succeed: First, DO the WileyPlus hw even though is not mandatory, but it will help you A LOT... Secondly, please follow along on the notes he does on class because it will be easier to understand the topic when you do so. Besides that, amazing and respectful professor.

VERY nice guy, and very smart. First half of the semester is pretty easy, second half it definitely ramps up a bit. He breaks you out into groups to work on problems and homework is optional, but weekly quiz problems are straight from the homework. Exams are hard and there is no study guide except for the final. Definitely requires outside studying

SO smart, SO nice. Would definitely reccomend. Super helpful if you have any questions, genuinely wants everyone to understand and do well. Optional homework, weekly quizzes that are super small & similar to homework. Three exams that are again based off homework. Study guide for final. Take him!!!!

Great professor! Wants his students to understand concepts and do well in the course. There are quizzes every week based off of the Wiley plus homework, three exams and a final. Homework is not mandatory but that is what he uses to make homework and exams.

TAKE HIM! Kruger's class is so doable if you put in the effort! There's optional homework; however, the weekly quizzes are based directly on it and will help you ace every quiz, three exams, and the final. He drops the lowest quiz and lets you add five extra credit points to any exam. He's amazing! I can't recommend him enough&#8212;he's the best!!

One of the greatest professors out there. Teaches math so that everyone understands it and passes the class. Weekly quiz where he gets the problems directly from the homework so if you do it the hw you'll be good. 3 exams all semester and a final. Couple of extra credit assignments and made a rly helpful study guide for the final. TAKE HIM!

Krueger is such a great teacher, I took him for 118 and 131 because I admired his teaching style. You need to study all the content he goes over to get over a B in his classes, but it is do-able. Hilarious and kind! Definitely take him

Very straightforward on homework and assignments. Homework is not graded, only quizzes and exams are (might be good or bad depending on how you perform on exams). Exams and quizzes are straightforward as well. Since HW is not graded, no need to spend $100 on Wiley unless you feel like you need the practice.

Nice guy but I did not vibe well with his teaching method. It's mostly just lecture, then group work and maybe a quiz. You don't get to work through problems as a class you are kinda just told what to do. Luckily I already knew how to do most of it. Homework isn't mandatory but you should 100% do it. Helps a lot.

Good teacher. Group work so if you don't like working in groups to learn the material then don't take him. Quiz every Thursday but easy and comes from homework problems. Lots of help and easy to understand material. Cares about you and will help. Also very flexible for people who can't take the quiz or test.

Krueger is a life saver! Unlike my MATH 117 Prof, he encourages practicing the topic in class and cares if you understand. He never reads from the textbook, makes his own worksheets and presentations. Weekly quizzes on last week's topic. And if you study and put in effort you'll do good on exams. Homework optional, but encouraged.

Overall good professor, always willing to help and you have plenty of time to ask him questions in class. Lots of group work too where you discuss the material with the people seated around you. No homework, but instead you get a weekly quiz and that's where the majority of your grade is based off.

Genuinely one of the kindest people I have ever met, and he cares so deeply about his students. This class is very heavy in group work, so if that's not something you enjoy, maybe consider a different instructor. Professor Krueger is accessible outside of class and always willing to discuss grades and help you! Definitely recommend!

He is overall a really nice prof and very helpful in + outside of class. My issue with his course is that he ONLY DOES GROUP WORK! The group work is much harder and more complicated than what is on exams and quizzes. I had to teach myself everything. If you've taken pre calc in high school you should be fine but if not don't take him
