Krokar is a good guy. He has his quirks, but is a laid back professor. If you ask Krokar for help he will do his best to guide you. Krokar defiantly helped me progress as a writer. Come to class prepared and with a desire to learn and a class with Krokar will be a breeze.

Krokar is a good professor. His class on Sarajevo was very compelling and his grading was pretty fair. My advice is to be active in the discussions because they're 25% of your grade. Nevertheless, I'd recommend him.

Even if you don't enjoy history, Krokar gives you the opportunity to learn something. He's a smart man and pretty articulate. Take notes during his lectures, read your book, and you'll get an A.

He's a very funny guy. You can tell he really enjoys what he's teaching. Lectures can seem long but go to class and pay attention. Midterm and Final is mostly based on his lectures. Don't really have to read the book. Participation is crucial! As long as you show up to class and speak, you'll do well.

You have to read for almost every class period and discuss but he leads the discussion and points out what you need to say. An easy grader. If you attend class and say at least one thing you'll be ok. Plus there is a research paper. not hard and he grades easy. Take the class, he is cool guy too, not mean and laughs alot.

Althoug this professor means well, he is very condescending. He treats students as if he is better then them and shows obvious bitterness towards college students. Thinks all students are slackers. Easy grader, boring class.

Put simply, Krokar is the man. Good-humored, obsessed with his subject, easy grader, extremely receptive to student questions. If you're a serious history student, you'll love him; if you're just taking one class, take him anyway because he'll try to keep it painless. Probably the best the History Department has to offer.

Krokar is my favorite professor at DePaul. He is so interesting and facilitates great discussions. You will learn a lot if you do the reading and participate. He makes corny jokes and tries hard not to laugh at them.

Krokar is hilarious, and yes he does look like mr. feeney from boy meets world. he offers help and even a re-write on papers in his class and the tests are not hard if you study. it's not the easiest class in the world, but it's definitely not hard. he truly enjoys teaching history and i enjoyed his class!

He's a really nice guy and I learned a lot about Eastern Europe in his class. You'd have to be really mean-spirited not to like this guy. He laughs all the time and he really listens to what his students have to say.

Prof. Krokar is all smoke and mirrors. If you need HST 199 take him. You have 10 weeks to complete a BS research paper on a topic of your choosing. Midterms and Finals are take home. Attendance and participation count for a heavy portion of your grade, however, just show up and make same lame comment now and then. He is a strange, awkward man t
