Professor Klingenhagen is an amazing teacher. She makes the material easy to understand and is actually useful to your life. I liked her sarcastic personality but I do agree that she comes off snippy. 1 midterm, 1 final and some myfinancelab quizzes. Participation is huge. Perfect attendance gets you a C. Make sure you talk in class & she knows you
