Tucker Krone

Krone is a great person, and is so caring and kind, but his lectures probably won't teach you anything. Luckily there are no exams and labs are participation based, making this class very easy.

Prof. Krone is an amazing person. He's caring, fun, and entertaining. However, his lecture style leaves much to be desired. For someone learning statistics for the first time, his lectures are very rushed and he primarily just reads off a google doc. He teaches like you already know the jargon, which makes interpreting his lectures challenging.

Prof. Krone is a pretty decent professor with chill vibes. Not a lot to be said a bout a 1-credit engineering ethics & sustainability class; just do the work and you'll be fine.

The whole class is designed very poorly. Prof. Krone does not have real appreciation of St. Louis community nor engineering ethics. Instead, the assignments are busy work that doesn't make any sense. They are formal rather than practical, and Prof. Krone does not tend to solve this issue, making the course a suffering and hypocritical absurdity.

Prof Krone was very charasmatic, which definitely helped keep me engaged with all the jargon and technical terms involved in Stats, it could get a little dry and boring sometimes. Very understanding. Sometimes, he sits in awkward silence until someone answers his very obvious question. Not a very exciting class but not too hard either.

Professor Krone is decent. It's really easy to get an A if you get help at office hours. Krone is understanding and will let you submit work late if you have an excuse. This semester, he incorporated AI into assignments, which I felt hindered my learning. Not the best professor, but not the worst.

I feel like Krone gets a bad rep since people aren't willing to put in effort to actually try to learn. Lectures can be fast, but he always reexplains things if you ask, and there's tons of help at OH. Homework/projects are graded on accuracy, but again OH is super helpful. Also, the class is based in R so it's nice to have some coding experience.

Very nice person, bad teaching style. In a big lecture room, he just reads off of a sub-adequate word document and expects us to keep up and understand. The concepts taught are incredibly important for research, but he doesn't make it clear at all. Also hard to find material to help supplement the lack of learning on the internet.

This class should be renamed "History & Race in St Louis". Easy, boring, and I didn\'t learn anything worthwhile. You also get assigned a 1-semester co-op, which is a wildcard in terms of difficulty, time commitment, and relevance. The class has political undertones &the instructor didn\'t make me feel comfortable enough to share my dissenting views.

I have taken 4 classes with Krone now and I wish I could take more. I have had a few good profs at washu and he is absolutely one of the best. Prof Krone is so dedicated to improving the lives of students and the quality of our education at Mckelvey. You can tell he really cares. The world would be a better place w more educators like him!

This class is a joke. The professor didn't show up or left early half the time despite meeting only once per week. Krone's classroom policies and attitude give the impression that he doesn't trust his students or treat them as equals. The assignments are all meaningless busy work which makes sense bc the course doesn't teach you anything useful.

I hate statistics but I love Krone. Super funny and understanding. Projects are tough but go to his office hours and you'll be fine.

1/13/2024

There are no exams in the class, just homework and projects which accurately reflect the lecture notes/labs. Office hours and the TAs are very helpful. Krone is super understanding and cares about his students- he is accommodating to personal circumstances and tries hard to make class fun

Lectures can sometimes be a little fast-paced but example problems in the notes help to solidify concepts. Weekly homework can be a little tricky but you are allowed to collaborate with friends and office hours are extremely helpful. Take-home assessments can take a while to complete but if you have a good grasp on the material you should be fine.

5/13/2023

Prof. Krone is not a good lecturer because his class is really boring and not helpful compared to his notes. However, he set the class in a proper difficulty level that matches to the lecture: there are no exams! An easy A professor and doesn't create difficulty on student's grades, but there won't be much knowledge one could gain from his class.

12/28/2022

Professor Krone is very kind and caring. His class is also very interesting and the assignments are useful. He does not waste time with busy work. I enjoyed the class.

I heard that krone had bad rate my professor reviews and I was so hurt. I took prob stat fall 19 and I still rave about this man. He really wants his students to succeed so if you show effort and that you want to learn he will really try his best to help you. Do NOT be afraid to go to his office hours! He's super friendly and approachable.

I took Professor Krone's ethics class in FL2020 and found it very enjoyable w/ interesting content discussed. The class itself is only 1 unit, so it's not much work and you can actually get a lot of it done ahead of time. Lots of EC (related to the 2020 election) and super easy grading. Good to pair with a heavier schedule as a WashU student.

If you put in the effort to succeed, Professor Krone will help you succeed. Based on past reviews, it seems like his lectures have improved. This spring, he filled class time with helpful examples. You have to go to lecture to learn the material, but TA's help immensely with homework and practice tests are similar to the exams.

Professor Krone is a great guy, very accessible outside of class and his tests and homework are relatively easy compared to other 300-level engineering courses. Definitely would take again. Lectures are not the most interesting but this is made up for with overall ease of material in this course.

11/20/2018

Professor Krone just copies a ton of writing off a piece of paper. He does not explain any concepts in a way that is understandable. Very hard to follow his class notes and his explanations are not clear. The class is not easy either. You have to teach yourself everything. Would not recommend this professor.

10/30/2018

Very unorganized, lectures are just him reading off a piece of paper and then writing it on the board as the students write silently. Horrible at answering questions asked by students. Be prepared to teach most of this material to yourself, because you'll learn more by self teaching in 3 days than you will from going to his lectures for 5 weeks.
