Very helpful, good test preperation. Pretty good teacher too.

For Linear algebra, I liked kroschel is very helpful with take home test and test preparation overall very good teacher to count on. Gives good in class problems and very easy to understand

A lot of people from my class complained about her, but I thought she was fine. Her tests were a little hard, but I learned a lot from her.

i think she's a good prof.

Tests in a really weird way--not exactly testing what is covered in class or on homework, but really tricky. Helpful for the most part... Sometimes she'll give you the wrong help though. Good class if you are willing to work. Really very interesting, lots of theory.

Kroschel is SO nice. She is a mom and you can tell. Keep in mind Calc is not an easy subject, so be ready to do some work (homework is not graded). That said, Kroschel is always willing to help. She's not the easiest grader in the world but you should get by fine. The class is definitely passable.

The homework is not graded, but get one thing straight, IT IS NECESSARY. She'll cover the material you'll need to know (all the way up to five minutes after class,) but these problems are helpful and often wind up on the weekly quizzes and the exams. She is willing to help you if you're having trouble and expect to spend several hours in the MaRC.

The first test was pretty hard, but she's really helpful and as long as you go to her and ask questions, you'll be alright, i ended up with over 100%, and i'm not that great at math

I suck at math, but I try extremely hard for her class. She appreciates it when students who dont know the material too much try really hard. Sometimes the class goes over by a couple of minutes. She goes over the material pretty well but make sure to ask questions if you don't know something. Go into her office if you are not sure about something.

Kroschel is a good professor. I enjoyed her class. Sometimes she goes too fast explaining the materials, but in general she does a good job at teaching them. I'd recommend her class if you are good at math. If not, you may find this class quite time consuming.

I dont know what everyone is talking about. Kroschel is a good professor. She's very nice in person. If you didnt do well in her class, blame yourself first before blaming anyone else :)

I have commented twice already but feel the need to comment again cos I still cant get over how many people are leaving negative comments abt Kroschel! She's one of my favorite math profs here at UST. Very easy going and I like her personality. Good at explaining complicate things. Get to know here and you will like her!

Very helpful lady if you go to class, and take advantage of office hours. Teaching style is very understandable and fits right into my notebook perfectly. Overall, made this class a very good experience.

She is really nice and a swell teacher. She might assume the class knows something that they don't, but just ask her to explain, and she has no problem doing so. It is a fast paced class, so sometimes her examples aren't sufficient to do homework from, but the time she has is limiting and not really her fault. Just take notes-lots of them.

Phenomenal professor. There is a lot of homework and weekly assignments. The tests are very reasonable and she even posts a study guide. I would definitely recommend this professor, even though the class isn't an easy "A".

A grea prof. You definitely have to work hard but she teaches the material very well and is extremely smart. I would recommend her to math majors for sure. She is a fast paced teacher so if you need a slow pace try taking her on MWF. Homework is decent, tests are ok if you're prepared.

Math usually comes naturally to me. Just for background on me and my strengths. I thought Dr. Kroschel was very reasonable. Sometimes she went a bit fast. She tries to have the homework harder than the tests so that you really learn before the test. That worked to make the tests seem easy. Overall, I liked her.

Good at teacher and explaining the material. However, she is a REALLY hard grader. If you are looking for an easy A, don't take her, but if you want to learn the material really well, then do so. Homework load wasn't too bad. Going to lecture isn't required but helped a lot.

A good professor. Presented material well and covered pretty much everything needed for the actuarial exam FM, including derivatives, and forwards etc. Expect lots of homework and to work hard. She was very understanding when I had family matters that made me fall behind in homework. Allowed test redo for half credit back on the wrong problems.

There is a lot of homework for sure, so the class isn't easy in that regard, however she really wanted to help you succeed, which was great.

Quizzes every day of class that you cannot make up, which is pretty frustrating. Also, about 3-4 hours of homework every night without any time to study for midterms. This, to me, was my easiest class conceptually but also the one I spent the most time on, which I don't like.

Honestly, one of the best profs I've ever had. She's tough, but it's college.

She will help you with any problems that you have in the course. Just talk to her. She makes a lot of time for students, and she is willing to go the extra mile for those who have math fears.

There is daily graded homework. Lectures are on chalkboard and the next assignment is handed out in class so you need to be there. She is approachable and willing to explain concepts. She is also very understanding if you have trouble with the online homework.

She is thorough and concise. I feel she explains the information really well. It makes it easy to pick up on the material

There is a lot of homework, but it prepares you for the test. Professor Kroschel provides study resources for the exams and offers retakes for the quizzes. She covers a lot of material in class, but is willing to go more in depth during office hours if it is confusing.

Have 4 assignments each night before the next class so you can't procrastinate. I struggled following along with some of her lectures but I found her office hours to be very helpful. She is a better 1 on 1 teacher than when she lectures to the whole class.

I liked Dr. Kroschel, she has a great personality and was funny. Her lectures are understandable if you pay attention or read in advance. Her exams can be difficult because she tests you on nearly every single detail and is a hard grader not only on exams but everything else.

She is understanding & reasonable, & her lectures are concise and comprehensive. My only complaint is that she assigns a TON of homework, which can make it hard to learn the material, but she is extremely open for office hours; GO TO THEM. Regardless, she has a great curriculum and is really capable. I recommend her, but be ready to put in the work

I've taken this course before, and Professor Brenda Kroschel is one of the best and nicest professors at St. Thomas. She is very understanding and doesn't deserve the bad reputation she has here. She truly wants her students to succeed if they put effort into it.
