Comment:
His class was a challenge because of the somewhat-annoying assignments, but overall I love this guy. He's quite a character but he's a really cool guy to talk to out of the classroom. He taught us things that we'll be able to use later on. As long as you talk a lot in his class, he'll like you. Just go on facebook if you get bored.

Avoid him. What we "learned" was useless, if we learned anything at all. His idea of teaching is showing amusing features on Facebook and Twitter, so class is a waste of time. Huge workload and unreasonable expectations, actually DISCOURAGES you asking questions and doesn't want to help students. Worst professor I've had so far.

Comment:
The worst professor I've had at Hofstra. Extremely arrogant and inappropriate; one time, he showed us his girlfriend on Twitter and asked us his opinion on her. No respect for students' time. Thinks social media is the end-all be-all of journalism. Calls on students by their last names and addresses the class with 'people'. Thinks he's amazing.

Comment:
Extremely full of himself...If he disagrees with something you say or do then according to him your wrong..prepare to be at a computer from 10-11 the night before each class because if you dont submit each assignment at that times with all his ridiculous guidelines its an automatic zero. NEVER EVER TAKE A CLASS WITH HIM

Thinks hes helping...when in reality hes not. Very boring, and I have the feeling that tests will be extremely difficult. He thinks twitter and gmail are gods gifts to the world so get used to hearing about them day after day after day....very very difficult class

Krochmal is quite the character yet is a great professor-- The first one at Hofstra that has made me feel like I am getting what I paid for. Do the work and come to class. Show that you are interested and don't complain. He is there to help. gChat him and email him. I promise it will help you. If you can handle him, you are set for the real world.

Does not teach enough. Thinks we should know how to use journalism tools before the class. I have not learned much in the two months I have taken this class. He is full of himself and if you can avoid it, do not take him.

Professor Krochmal is an outstanding professor because he cares about the subject of online journalism. Do not pay attention to the other posts... he teaches you cutting edge material that is useful - this is coming from someone who took his class and works at one of the top news sites in the world. Take him - you will be better off in your career.

WORST PROF AT HOFSTRA. He's full of himself, thinks his class is the most important, expects a huge amount of work from students and is very inconsiderate. He's rude and gives off the attitude that we know nothing. Dropped the class after 2 weeks because I couldn't stand seeing him. Many many complaints about him, DO NOT TAKE HIM.

DO NOT TAKE HIM! You do nothing at all useful, sign up for a million trendy websites you will never use again, and do ridiculous amounts of work for no reason. He babbles about pompous, pedantic hippie-inspirational crap. The entire class is built to feed his ego. He is borderline inappropriate with students. Someone please fire him.

Comment:
played favorites and favored the people who spoke the most, regardless of what they said. have fun if your not a favorite! his assignments are so time consuming because he expects you to figure things out on your own and gl figuring out what he wants. all we did in class was watch inspiring videos, but the way he teaches is anything but inspiring.

We surfed the internet for an hour and 25 minutes two days a week. The project for the semester was nothing but an annoyance and could be done in a matter of two days. Krochmal is a nice guy overall, but this class is pretty awful.

Prof. Krochmal is pompous, inconsiderate and not helpful in class. If you are looking to learn you are going to ask a million questions. He goes way too fast in class and expects the world of you regardless of what else is going on in your life JRNL is #1.
