He's very clear in his teaching, but his tests are multiple choice scenarios.

Very boring lectures and really hard test! Do not take!
BORING! hw is so hard and only worth 4 points! tests are hard as well, dont take
Easy Class, Interesting way of presenting material
He's nice, class is god awful boring and hard.
Easy MC tests, don't need the book, very helpful. Take this class if u need PYSC
very laid back....good guy
no attendance policy, makes information easy to follow, nice and helpful guy
Word of advice... Don't ever take this class, it sucks... Tests are hard and he is the most boring man on the planet... find another professor!
whoever thought this class was hard, has serious issues. he gives you a copy of his outlined notes! 4 tests, that are relatively easy, i have yet to use the book- all you need is the notes, and there's no attendance policy.
EXTREMELY HARD!! Tests are hard and are more complex then his discussions and outlines! DONT TAKE!!
boring
HORRIBLE...I fell asleep in class everyday. He has the most monotone voice I've ever heard. Tests are HARD and you need to read the book b/c the outlines are not helpful at all...stay away from him.
this class is so boring, no attendance policy. in class he just rambles, no need to go-read the book.he gives detailed outlines. only 4 tests
material is interesting, but he is very hard. don't take this class unless you really have to.
CLASS IS HARD, BUT HE CURVES AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER.
he rocks my world! all multiple choice exams plus when you ask him about a question, he'll give you a huge hint.
absolutely boring. i fell asleep all the time. if you want to learn, read the book. he was a nice teacher and didn't mind helping you out, but he needed to liven things up.. or change voice pitch.
Dr. Kruggel is a professor who is very intelligent in his subjust matter, but unfortunately is not a very good teacher.
read and go to class - doesn't take attendance but he gives 1 test question a week on drills - knows his stuff - copy the outlines he puts up
The tests are all multiple choice and very difficult. They are really not straight forward and the questions are hard to understand. I would not recommend taking him if you want a good GPA.
Do not take psych with this teacher. I took it psych in high school, and still had alot of trouble with him. He is SO BORING! stay away from him and his boring voice
Drop now. My roommate loved her psyc class because she had an awesome teacher that made it a lot of fun. This guy is boring, monotoned, and he doesnt explain things very well. This was my least favorite class my first semester here. AWFUL!!!
Do not take psychology with him. He is the most boring teacher ever, I fell asleep every class, his tests are really hard, and most people don't even bother going to the class because its so boring
if you want a good grade in psyc 101 take it from me and don't take kruggel! Class is boring, he is monotone, tests are 50 multiple choice questions and very hard(applying info.to diff. situations. ruined my first semester, freshman year.
50 multiple choice questions for each test. very boring and hard to listen to for extended amounts of time. tests kinda difficult, but nice guy. my lowest grade of the semester
BORING monotone tests are application problems expects you to do a ton of work with book internet and cd rom
Nice Guy, but his voice is kinda like Dr. Evil at the age of 90. His tests are hard and different then what he teaches cause all he teaches is examples
Worst teacher to take in the morning. He sounds like Ben Stein (the Dry Eyes Guy). He makes you do unnecessary work. And he is boring as S _ _ t! Please stay away from him especially in the morning. Take Dr. J. Harris instead-he's fun!
He really sucks. His tests are completely different from what he talks about in the class and then he TELLS you that what happens in class is what goes on. he doesnt take attendance, but if it's 8am, you will be skipping EVERYDAY! dont do it to urself
doenst take attendence but you need to go to class to take notes. outlines are written on the board but a lot of info on exams is just from him speaking. really easy B if not an A if you just pay attention
Sounds like Mr. Macky from SouthPark.
Talks like Ben Stein, notes are all off online outlines, MUST go to class. Tests are hard as crap and he messes questions around to make it confusing from the notes you studied.
Very nice man, but an unusually hard class for a GenEd. He is very understanding and will usually accept late work. Good teacher, hard class.
HE DOESNT take late work even when i had a power outtage to email a "Quiz" with the answers in the cd rom. the book teaches you. grade based solely on tests and those quizes.
IF you read and study the book the class becomes extremly easy.
Eh- Not the best teacher...Read the book do the work and you'll be fine. Get someone else if you can, but if not don't freak out, it won't be all that terible
This is not a class to take if you would like an A. Tests are not on the notes. Read the entire book if you would like to suceed.
This is the worst class to take at Towson. The tests are impossible unless you study 30hrs a week and he is so confusing. I don't know why anyone would take this class it is a NIGHTMARE!!!
not completely terrible teacher, but its not an easy class if you don't like to work.tests are 50 multiple choice,(harder than they sound) Do practice tests in text and religiously do CDrom and you'll be fine. Nice guy, need to work for an a or b
i thought he was a great teacher... hes very animated which makes u wanna pay attention even if u dont care about what hes talking about... his classwork and tests r easy if u pay attention in class and do the HW... hes a very nice man, perhaps a little out there...
Please, DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. Trust me. Has boring monotone voice, IMPOSSIBLE to pay attention in class, tests are impossible. Only class I'm doing horribly in this semester. Only good thing is he doesn't take attendance.
He's generally nice, and knows his stuff. The lecture can be boring at times and doesn't cover everything you need to know; study the textbook! This class is more for the "self-taught" type. Use the CD-ROM, and website to your advantage for tests. Weird obsession with Bill and Monica scandal...
Notes are worthless. Read the book for an A. Talks about Monica Lewinsky everyday. Quizzes are guaranteed 100% and class/homework is moderately easy. JUST READ.
I never went to this class because he doesn't take attendence and I just read from the book and did the CD rom, 4 tests, non-cumulative final, 10 quizzes from the CD rom that are worth 2 points each and are simple, I've never gotten anything but 100% on them, 10 in-class 2 point graded assingments
The sound of his voice pisses me off. He's so odd!If you absolutely love to read you might do ok,but other than that its hard. There are 4 tests that are 50 multpile choice that are impossible!u can bring up your grade by doing the CDrom quizes and in class assigments but it wont help much.dont take
This prof is worthless. he talks about stuff that has nothing to do with the tests (that are impossible) No matter how much classwork or CDrom quizzes you take and do well on it doesnt matter cause all the weight is in the 4 ridiculous tests. This class made me sick
tests are hard even with studying, doesnt teach exciting subjects like dreams... focuses more on parts of the brain, annoying voice, hard to follow lectures
True he is a nice man, but that does not stop you from failing. In his classes every semester half the class fails or drops and for good reason. True you do not have to go to class to pass but most students need conventional learning. My recommendation: NEVER EVER TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
when you first get in the class, you will think it is easy, but his tests are kinda impossible....you have to know the chapters like the back of ur hand. otherwise nothing else matters.i would have liked to have someone else.
He NEVER deviates from his syllabus, so do all of the reading, know the chapters, and you HAVE to go to class. His tests are tough, but trust me it helps so much more when you actually read the chapters. He's very willing to help, if you just talk to him after class.
Hard class, lots of info. Doesn't take attendence, but you need the notes. Do the reading and get the articles on reserve. tests are multiple choice, but the questions are misleading and you can easily pick the wrong answer. Don't take early in the morning...He's SOOO Boring to listen too
I took psych in high school and did really well until I got to this class. If you want to waste 2 and half hours of your week, Take this class. His syllabus is clear, but the tests are vague, and impossible. His lectures are boring and endless.
Tests are SO hard, he was mean and unfair. Try not to take this guy!
Knowledgeable teacher, gives good examples. Very difficult to get an A in this class. Tests aren't a good indicator of your knowledge. You will need to read and study EVERY word of the text, website and CD to get an A
The teacher is annoying..just his voice makes you wanna jump off a bridge...at 8am it can be too much to take. The tests are really hard to do well on unless you plan on knowing EVERY PAGE of the text.
too much information for a 100 level class. he makes funny body gestures in class that makes him look funny. his tests are not hard but CONFUSING. take another professor if u can. only one extra credit. he definitely isnt the best professor out ther. and he makes psychology boring. but he isnt too bad. u can get a B. good luck.
This class is hard; not because of the professor but because of the information. You need to go to class and study to do well but just because the info is so confusing. Dr. Kruggel is a great professor and knows his stuff. Gives plenty of study aids; copy down the ques of the day: some of them are direct test questions!
the most boring man in the worl. He talks about nothing but sex and drugs. Does not teach you anything. You must know every page of the text to get a good grade on the test. Try to take another teacher.
He gives you a syllabus outlining the entire semester - it is really helpful in planning out studying (which is a necessity!) he also has a lot of simple assignments for easy points. The book also comes with a website with lots of studying tools!
He is really great if you can listen.
his voice is annoying as hell an the class is basically rambling for an hour about sex and drugs. none of this lectures pertain the the material.
Wonderful professor! very knowledgeable. Gives a detailed syllabus that explains everything, he's very organized. His tests are a little difficult and you have to do a lot of reading but he gives a lot of LITTLE assignments that really help your grade. Doesn't take attendance and a very nice man if you don't ask stupid questions.
Hard class if you don't read every thing you have. The tests are difficult b/c he takes info from the book, lecture, website, CD-rom, and if you ask for help he says "well you can refer to your syllabus..."... take a different teacher. The only thing is he is SOO nice and very smart, you can tell he knows what he is talking about.
he's a very nice guy who knows a lot about the subject and is interesting to talk to. however his tests are very difficult, you really need to know the material, and his voice tends to put you to sleep. gives a lot of little assignments for points, but not nearly enough to get you by if you don't do so well on the tests.
He seems like a nice guy, but he is no help at all. You can try and read the book all you want be his lectures are contradicting. You ask him for help and all he can say is "look at everything", "look at your syllabus" or his favorite "go get tested". Try to avoid him if possible, you'll be sorry if you don't.
His voice is....interesting. You will be bored in this class but trust me if you dont go you'll miss some information you'll see on a test. So just grit your teeth and bear with it.
Very hard grader he either gives you a good grade or a bad grade there is no in-between. If you write poorly he seems to be angry at you as if it were a personal attack. Can be a nice guy when talking to him but taking his classes is another story.
Seriously, I this guy is great. He helped me so much, allowed me to move tests, talked to me when I was stressed out. He's great!!
Not the easiest class, but he gives you all the notes so you just have to follow along...funny guy and nice...willing to help you if you ask..gives you sample tests and questions every day w/answers that are on every test!
Very hard class. No attendance. Always stay the whole class time. Long boring lectures that you need to pay attention to to do well on tests. Tests are all MC, but are still very hard. Don't take this if you don't want to work hard! I'm an A student and got a 70 on the first test.
Not an easy class. Must read the book! Tests are all MC, and he gives you sample test questions and questions of the day (several of which appear on the tests). He gives you outlines, which he follows during lecture. Plus, the info. is really interesting. I'd recommend this class, but you have to be willing to work.
Class is somewhat difficult. Attendence not mandatory but you really need to be there if you want to do well. Make sure you have the lecture outlines and note taking will be much easier. Tests cover a lot so please don't wait until the last minute to read and go over the information. Very nice and helpful professor but class is pretty boring.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. he sucks as a professor. he just rambles on and on and on some more about nothin at all in a very boring voice. does not cover material needed for tests in lectures, he expects you to teach yourself.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. He is a very boring professor and he does not teach the material that you need to pass the class. You basically have to teach yourself. His lectures are very boring and his style of teaching psychology really sucks. If you are planning on getting a good grade or actually learning I advise you to take another professor.
nice guy, boring class. he just rambles most of the time. he can be very helpful if you need it and the stuff he mentions in class is what's on the test so notice what he talks about. would recommend him but he's not fun. he got mad at our class a few times for being bored.
Prof. Kruggel is a nice guy with great intentions; however, he is boring and you have to force yourself to pay attention. He does not cover in class most of the info on tests but if you read the text and use the study guide, you should be ok. He's fair and always offers to help. You don't really have to do anything in the class but be sure to read!
Only take if you can read the book and remember little details because that is what is on his test. I read the book, got a low B on 1st test, D's on the 2nd & 3rd, and I maybe a high C or low B on the final and ended up with a C. Don'y have to go to class cuz he does not cover any material in class that is on test.
Great guy, boring class. Don't come to class he doesn't take attendance and the test is strictly from the textbook.
Extremely nice but hard to follow! He never stays on track and ALWAYS talks about how much he hates the government! You NEVER turn in work but you have to do it because the tests are based on the worksheets and textbook! READ THE TEXT!!!
Took him for Psychopharmacology- it sounded like the most interesting course under that heading for the psych requirements. Difficult class but this guy knows his stuff. I managed a C in the class (grade is based on 4 tests- 400pts). He always offers to help and answers any questions. If you're looking for the easy way out this isn't for you.
Great prof!
