There is no reason to buy the textbook, as the slides and lectures are all that's tested on the lecture exams. He is dry, but very knowledgeable. Attendance is mandatory, but I suggest you come anyway, because what he discusses in class ends up as questions on exams (which aren't really hard, just MC, but require paying attention/studying).

The class is based off multiple choice tests so if you suck at that then it's really hard to do well. I struggled because a lot of his questions were tricky and I'm not a good test taker. He also has a lot of questions from the lectures so you can't miss that. For the final I was lucky he gave us the questions otherwise I woulda gotten an A-.

Good class, do your work and read the PowerPoints and you'll get good grades on the tests. Read them IN-DEPTH, tests are on the PowerPoints and general class exaamples. Lectures can drone on a little bit because he speaks a little monotone. Things got interesting a few times though, pretty much depends on what you're interested in. Nice guy.

This class was pretty pointless. No need to show up, just study the slides and notes that are on them at the bottom very well and you should be ok. As for Krueger, he is very monotonous and often said offensive things. Even though its not too hard to do well, if you can avoid taking his class, I recommend it.

He claims its a department curve, but somehow other lectures fail to even know about the curve. Only about 10 students out of 260 received an A. Out of all my classes ever taken in Baruch I have never received a B, not even in micro. It was rather disappointing and his tests are overly specific, where many students cheat to get better scores.

Attendance is mandatory, at the end of each lecture there's a code given by him to verify attendance. Gives quizzes every couple of weeks. In terms of his lectures, he tends to ramble a lot but is much better compared to other LEC professors for BUS 2000. Prof Kreuger is your best bet for this course.

His lectures are long but very manageable as he uploads his recording so you can write your notes later. Don't cheat because he takes it seriously and will reward those who tell him, so be aware. Overall, nice professor, take him!

Professor Krueger is great. Very long lectures but interesting and simple. Posts the lecture and powerpoints but requires attendance. 4 quizzes online in total for the entire semester and no homework. Pretty simple class. Just study hard and you'll be fine.

He is a very knowledgeable and passionate professor. The lectures are really long but very informative and clear. He posts the lecture recordings and PowerPoint slides so you can review them before the exams. Also, he gives you study guides for all four exams. He even drops your lowest exam grade. There is no homework, just exams, so work hard.

Took him summer semester. His class is very lecture heavy and his tests are based on the lecture. I would avoid missing his lectures because a lot of the questions on his tests are comments that are not included on his slides.

Used to be online but prob changed after Spring'22. You get a "quiz" after every 4 lectures, so roughly every 2-3 weeks of the semester (On quiz day, there is no lecture). If you don't take notes, you're screwed. He used to post recordings for the absent students, but I don't recommend skipping to watch videos later, b/c it will become a bad habit.

Graded by 4 mc quizzes. He drops lowest of first 3. He posts the slides,so I didn't show up all semester. Attendance is mandatory but if you get someone to send you an empty seat number and attendance code, then you don't have to go. He may ask a few questions on the quiz based on things he said in class, but not enough to effect your grade.Easy A.

He is a good professor but I would not take him again because of the fact that he speaks so low and you really have to pay attention. The lectures are long and very boring but in order to pass take notes in class, it will make your life so much easier. As others said, there are quizzes every 3-4 lectures he drops the lowest one.

I had Professor Krueger last spring semester and I have to say he isn't as good as other reviewers are saying he is. My only complaint is that sometimes the test questions are confusing because he doesn't check his grammar and this caused me and other students to get low scores on the tests. I'm just glad I passed in the end.

Very understanding professor. You need to attend his lectures to pass this course. His lectures are really good. Take notes of any and every thing he says because anything can come on the exams. You get 4 exams, the 4th is the final and he only takes the two highest grades from exams 1-3.

A lot of the stuff on his tests is based on things he said in class and not on the PowerPoint, which you can guess wasn't good cause his lectures are so long and boring that you can't help but sleep. He's a good teacher and a good guy. he HATES cheaters so be careful, he shows no mercy

Avoid. Does not care about teaching only cares about students cheating. His mcq quizzes are straight forward from the slides, but he throws in nasty questions like What did I not mention in class" "What was the last thing I said in lecture 3" and questions are so specific and is completely memory based. Not a good person. Def the worst BUS2000 prof

If you're good at memorizing a lot of information, take him. All the quiz answers are taken straight from the slides and the lowest of the first three are dropped. Okay professor, you can barely hear him half the time but he's passionate about what he does.

3 quizzes + final. 1 quiz drop. Some questions are based on specific things he says, not in the slide. If you want an A overall in BUS 2000 (Lecture + Recitation) you have to do well in this class. If you are not in like the top 5% you probably won't get an A due to Baruch's 80/82 curve. If you help your peers, you are making your own grade suffer.

he is great; however, the quizzes are not fair at all. The class is more about memorizing rather than actually learning the material. Puts random questions in the tests, just to see if you paid attention to a 2-hour class. also very unfair that people who missed the quiz with a reason, get to take it online, I hope he fixes that!

Extremely easy memorization-based quizzes that you could probably study for an hour before class and ace. No textbook, all course material is based on his own slides. However the lectures are VERY long and hard to sit through, even tho Prof is a pretty cool guy and has interesting anecdotes.

He yaps a lot and while the topics are not too difficult it is hard to get through his class without falling asleep or entertaining yourself. He likes to show support for Donald Trump because they share a first name. He claims to have a lot in BTC so I don't know why he is 70 something years old teaching at Baruch

Three quizzes are given with the lowest grade dropped and a departmental final. His lectures are easy to zone out on, but the slides are easy to follow. Krueger answers questions fairly well and wants to encourage student curiosity. Attendance is mandatory, but the slides and review sessions are really all that you need.

While the professor's lectures can drag on, the class is fairly straightforward. Quizzes focus on memorizing slides and lecture details, so attending is crucial. unstuckstudy was a great study aid alongside the provided slides.
