Klien is easy to understand, but your grade is only based on the exams and quiz scores. I attended every class and did extra credit. I did all the homework and studyed. I recived a D in the class.

very caring and good professor. He's there for you if you ever need help and encourages you to think. Attend class because it helps a lot with studying! I would take him again because he's a good lecturer. If you read, attend lecture, and ask for help, then stats is easy peasy.

I've never struggled so much in a class than I have with Klein in Math10. If you have the option of taking another teacher I recommend you do it. He gives no homework so you have no clue what to expect on quizzes or exams, and his lectures are all over the place. He gives few to no examples in class so you can't make connections. DONT TAKE

I'm pretty good with math but Klein is a diff beast. I failed so bad. He is not clear on what he expects of you. Doesn't assign or collect HW yet the 100+ problems/examples in the text is fair game for exam. Lectures are messy & his exam are NOTHING like his lecture/HW. Doesn't want 2 help - just says "do better" - No makeups/late allowed - AT ALL

I need to preface that I would never usually rate a professor... However, Charles Klein is by far the worst professor I have ever had the misfortune of taking. His go-to words of "encouragement" are "Do Better". He falsely says that he uses the material from the textbook in his quizzes/exams. TAKE SOMEONE ELSE- LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE.

Acts like he wants us to do good but doesn't help at all. Only says do better. If you use any method other than the only one method he showed you you will not get points. Does not use material from book at all and exams are at least 75% harder than any question he solved or you might see in the textbook. Take anybody but him do not waste your time

I honestly dont know why he's getting such bad scores. He's a tough grader, and if you're bad at math, you can still make it. You just have to study hard. Do a lot of textbook problems. IDK why people say he lies about getting problems out of textbooks, I don't think he lies about that and even though exams are hard they are still similar problems.

First and foremoest, don't take this class if you're a slow learner and need more guidance. He expects you to understand him within the speed he teaches, which is fast. He assigns homework from the book (which you don't even turn in/get credit for) and puts material on the quizzes/exams that don't correlate or are 10x more difficult.

I only got by in this class by going to the tutoring center non-stop. Stats does require at least 2hrs a day studying. DONT STUDY AT THE LAST MINUTE!! Plus, Klein can just be rude towards students with his sarcastic "humor" and "do better!"

This professor is the worst professor i have ever had when it comes to math. First time taking 1A and he wasnt even teaching. He didnt explain things because he expects us to already know it. Wants me to change the way ive been doing math for the past 13 years. If you dont write out your problem exactly like he does you dont get credit. DONT TAKE

Great teacher, very clear in transferring the material from his brain to yours, lots of homework but nothing impossible, homework not mandatory but it is strongly recommended if you want the tests and quizzes to be a breeze. 10/10 def would recommend best math teacher i've had in 16 years

Absolutely worthless as a professor. He goes through tests/quizzes looking to take points off, has a sarcastic demeanor, and unwilling to help. He said "I don't feel like doing any more problems" the day before the quiz and then says "I'll give you guys some problems tomorrow on your quiz, how's that?" Should tell you plenty about his "humor"

Not sure where to begin. If you can avoid taking him, by all means, do it. His tests are difficult (barely enough time to finish) and he believes that a C is a good grade, thus justifying his difficult tests even for people who study. Many students dropped after first test and his formatting is extremely difficult and borderline unreasonable.

I honestly dont know why people said hes tough. Yes his materials aint easy to understand but he is kind and the tests are easy. He doesnt require attendance and always gives extra credit on the tests. Moreover you only need 88% to get an A on his class. Id definitely take his class again if he ever teaches 1B tbh
