Does not give good directions and expects you to know what to do. Replies to emails with very vague answers. Does not care about students. Do not take his online classes. If you are reading this, you're welcome.

Didnt miss a single class, yet was confused all the time. Textbook didnt help as material was more in depth than intro level book. SI sessions also didnt help because other ECO 105 classes covered different things. He was obviously very knowledgeable but not great at passing that knowledge onto others. You will draw so many graphs.

Honestly one of the best professors at DePaul. Probably one of the harder ECO 105 professors, which is already a tough class, but he is a great professor and you will learn a lot. Don't expect a free ride though - but if you want to be properly set up for future classes, definitely recommend

Sometimes he can be a little confusing with how he explains things, but if you go through the lecture notes he posts online and take good notes, you will be fine. Overall very passionate about economics and a great teacher.

He is a very nice man. He is funny too. I had a very hard time in this class though. He is so nice so I feel bad saying this, but I just can't understand his lectures. I studied a lot and went to SI sessions and i'm barely passing.

I have never had a hard time understanding such a simple class. I studied, went to SI sessions, watched videos online, and still struggled severely. DO yourself a huge favor and DO NOT take this class.

He is very passionate & very animated, but he's kind of all over the place. He talks really quickly & if you miss something it is easy to get lost. Also, D2L wasn't very organized you have to look in 3 different places to find class materials for 1 class. I took this as a 5-week summer course and you really don't have time to absorb the material.

Krautman is a good professor, very passionate, and gives you a lot of information. Sometimes he gets a little lost because he love the subject, and it makes it a bit confusing, but he's very helpful outside of class. I'd recommend him if you enjoy economics, and you want to learn something.

I was so happy to take this class first after 3 years of been out of college. This is a tough class guys, be ready to put in the work. He gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Makes a hard subject understandable. He is available at all times, clear and caring. Best professor and class I have ever taken.

Tony is a great professor took this as an undergrad, really had no idea how hard the grad level would be. He made it super easy to understand the material. Lectures were always on point, always available to answer questions. I went to his office regularly not during office hours and always willing to help you understand. Wish he taught more classes

This was a very hard class. You really have to pay attention in class and make sure your understand every detail in order to get a good grade. He does gives homework and some of the problems are similar on the exam. You need to practice a lot in order to do well in the class. If you want to challenge yourself, then take him.

I took Tony's 505 class as an undergraduate and quickly learned not to underestimate the difficulty of the material. He wants you to pass, but you have to earn it. Know your calculus and form a study group. Great guy, funny lectures, good class. Very accessible and puts his very good lecture notes online. Would take him again.

His lectures are pretty easy to follow since he posts them online before class. If you print them out and follow them it makes a lot more sense. However, the homeworks and exams are really difficult!

He lectures every class and writes too quickly on the chalk board. His way of teaching is confusing and he uses methods that no other economics teachers use. Don't take him.

Keeps your attention during lectures but tests are killer. Studied for many many hours + went to SI, still got low marks. I'd take someone who's a bit easier and understands not everyone is an Econ major!

Comment:

Professor Krautmann is a kind person, come into his office during hours and he will help you out. However that's aside from the fact that his lectures are boring, long, and barely helpful. As many people have said on here before - tests are HARD. Micro is hard, but his tests are beyond logical difficulty. I dont know many people who did well!
