Excellant professor, gets his poing across in a fun and friendly way

great prof

Easy going

very nice,great teacher

Good teacher. Very clear. Attend class & you will do fine.

He's very nice, go to class and you'll do well.

This Proff. knows how to teach..the rest of the Math dept. should get a clue.

Great calculus teacher...bad TRIG teacher. Nice guy though

Made it so I liked math, I wish everyone could have a prof like this in math

Nice & easy. Just go to class. He is really funny. One of the best I've had.

Easy, open book on tests/quizzes, highly boring, but simple man.

Better choice in stats than ANY other on campus.

Needs to stop talking about his wife's aunt's dog's flea problem and teach math

Great Prof

nice approach, fair and reasonable

rambles at the beginning of class and crams the rest of the lesson in at the end

every test is open book and strait from the book so expect an A!

Has his favorites & makes it known every class.Assignments can b turned in late

Show up, work hard, and you will do fine, have fun and participate.

excellent teacher, no book, a zillion handouts, fair, some rambling, show up

Open book/open note tests, quizzes, exams, no homework, super easy, nicest guy.

great guy, sometimes i forgot i was in math class, his stories are great.

Open book/notes on anything! Great guy, although at times he lacks social grace.

Very good to have if you are bad at math.

I have a lot of respect for a man who can teach a bunch of math-handicapped students. Great prof.

Very easy class and Very good professor. Everything is open book and open notes, even the final exam. If you hate Math, take this class.

If this is the only math course you have to take, take it from Prof. Klingler. The class was ridiculously easy, but the prof. was great.

Very easy class, covers things many times and allows open note/book quizes. Plus, you can ask other people. Nice guy who really wants to know you and teach you.

Prof. is the best I've had. Really cares about the success of his students. His sense of humor is subtle. Great guy.

Great Prof, class is extremley easy. If you pay attention in class and take well notes you'll do fine on his tests. All tests are open book, open notes and quizes can always be taken w/ a partner! Awesome person to have for a teacher and easy course!

He is very flexible and accomodating for those who need it, he works hard to make things understandable. He doesn't, however, have very good control of the class. He always chatting to continue during his lectures, which is extremely distracting.

Really nice guy, but really learn nothing. Class doesn't prepare for common final making it difficult, and tons of writing assignments.

You couldn't have a better prof! He is THE BEST! SUPER EASY. Everything is open book/note-even the final. Lacks social grace, but makes up for it with an easy A in the class. I wish every prof at GVSU was like him. Couldn't ask for a better professor!

he is so cool. very easy too! has passion for the subject and his students. wants everyone to succeed. i would take every class with him if i could. open book/notes for tests and final. friends can help each other on the quizzes. he is the best. TAKE HIM!

You really don't learn anything new, it is all stuff that you should have gotten in Jr. High. Professor Klingler is very nice and does a good job of presenting material, but that doesn't make up for how boring the course itself is.

If you stuggle with math...this is the professor to have. Everything is explained in great detail and he will help you out as much as he can. Good professor.

Surveying his students with a personal questionnaire the first night of class, this instructor won me over! This was the first GVSU instructor I've had in three years who actually seemed to CARE what outside things his students had going on! Much appreciated! Tough with grading tests/projects but always willing to work with his students.A++

Great Professor! I struggle with math, but i passed his class with a decent grade. He actually cares about his students and gives a questionaire the first day of class to see what stuff his students have going in their lives. Tests are hard though. Make sure you do your homework

If you have the hots for Santa Claus this is your professor. It's hard to focus on math with such a charming and delightful prof. Makes math easy and enjoyable just like me.

prof klingler is a very decent guy, he always went above and beyond with help and suggestions. when in trouble and need advice with math goto his office and he will go over it until you are clear.. tests, homework and quizzes are all open note, he believes in helping students

Makes Algebra so easy. Will help you out in any way that you need. Take him if you have any trouble with Math at all.

What others say is true: he goes above and beyond to help you be successful. He obviously cares a lot about teaching. He teaches entry-level math courses for non math majors, even though that means that a big percent of his students hate math. He prefers to teach those kinds of students because he really enjoys helping people understand something t

Klingler is absolutely phenominal. I got Ds in my h.s. math classes. Now I understand it all. He has these ways of teaching it differently so all students understand. If you are really good in math, I wouldnt take him...youd be bored. But if you struggle youd be crazy not to. He gets so excited about teaching its actually kind of funny. A++++

He's pretty easy..open notes on quizes and tests...slow pace so it gets boring at times..i would recomend him

Energy level of the professor really rubs off on students that aren't used to being excited about math. His thick, long beard is also not bad to look at (wink, wink, nod, nod...)

i am not a math person but i did very well in his class. his teaching is a little boring, because my class was 2 hours long, but he is VERY helpful, and shows u every possible way to do a problem. he also allows you to use your notes and handouts on all your quizzes and tests, so taking notes is worthwhile. overall great prof

Great professor, he may be a little boring but he cares about your grades and he does everything he can do to help you understand the material.

Excellent professor. Very intuitive, makes sure that you understand the material before moving on. Open book tests. Math is a subject that many people don't like; he understands this, and tries to cultivate an environment that piques interest in the subject. Show up, participate, and share in his enthusiasm, for he deserves this kind of respect.

I have dropped this class three times since starting Grand Valley. This was the first time I'm actually going to FINISH it so that alone tells you something. I think he's a GREAT professor and if I have to take math again, I'll look for him. Everything is open-note, take home tests. Plus, he really explained how to use a graphing calculator!

I liked him! He let's the class choose how the grades will be weighted and he genuinely wants everybody to do well in his class. If you don't have a good math background, he might not be the greatest, but he still knows what he's talking about. I would try to take him if you want a good grade.

Professor Klingler is absolutely awesome. I am terrible at math, but ended up with an A- in this class. Tests are open note/book and he even lets you pick how your grade will be determined (values of tests, quizzes, homework etc.) Super nice guy and really funny too. Highly, highly recommend him.

Absolutely love this prof, he's so nice and understanding. Let me turn in all of my late work for full credit, including in class activities. He was very helpful! Even if you're terrible at math he'll help you get an A! He also lets you set the grading scale! Pay attention and contribute, you will want to by then end of the class!

wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful professor!! I couldn't say it enough!! I always get C;s in math and took his class when retaking math 110 and i have a 97%! If you are someone who struggles with math, his teaching approach is the way to go. He provides a lot of worksheets for you to work on for a few minutes with people around you

Realy easy especaly for math. All the quizes were open note and group and all the test were open book/note. Lectures get boring but its worth take the class its easy

He sometimes invades privacy by saying people's GPA's and ACT scores, but his tests are open book, quizzes are open partner and everything is easy.

Easy class. Great teacher and will help you with anything, just ask. He is really easy going. I struggle in math and I received a 99% in the class. Take him!!

Great professor. Looks like santa clause. I got a 103% in the class, and learned so much while not putting too much work into the class. Take him!

His tests are open book/open note- MAJOR plus. If you go to his office hours, he is extremely helpful, and will tell you pretty much exactly what to expect on his tests. Be careful not to ignore the seemingly pointless worksheets, though- it'll pull your grade down, if you don't turn them in.

LOVED this teacher. He is older so he has stories he likes to tell but he explains the math in such an easy way you don't struggle! NO book needed, it's online. Tests are open book/notes, quizzes can be worked in groups. Easy class but you also learn. I love math now because of this prof!

He is very nice. Sometimes he talks a little too much, but his stories are mostly interesting. I learned in the class and I liked it.

He's one of the best professors I've had so far. He gives A LOT of extra credit questions. He also give very helpful handouts that could lead you to getting a very good grade in the course. His quizzes and exams are all open book which is an advantage. He tells interesting stories about his life. I would definitely take this professor again!

Great Professor! Not a difficult class. He will give out study guides for tests as well as extra credit. Very nice as well.

Klingler is very kind and caring, always eager to help his students. His work was all online with tutorials on how to do the problem which were very beneficial. He's very generous with points and is always trying to help students succeed and make class enjoyable. He's a fair teacher and easy-grader. He also let us use notes on quizes and exams.

only thing about this class that was annoying was the fact that I bought the textbook, which we didn't use all year. so don't buy it! really nice guy and is helpful and appreciates being asked questions after class/during office hours. sometimes is a little rude and talks about students grades in front of the class, but not in a mean way.

GREAT prof! He is very helpful and all his exams (including the final) you get to use your notes. Also, you get to work with others on quizzes. Attend class and you will be fine.

I loved this class and this professor. You must to show up to class because he gives attendance points and participation points. He is very good about giving out extra credit and posting stuff that he does in class in case you miss something you can just get it off blackboard. He was very good about extending homework if needed. Highly recommend.

Quizzes you can work together on, tests are open note. Lots of homework but it's easy and you go over it every week. He sometimes talks about other students when they're absent but not in a mean way.

Makes you do webwork. However, every quiz is open note plus can be worked on with partners. Every test is also open note but test are completed by yourself. Im not very good at math and I still received an A. He is kind of boring to listen to but very nice. He offers extra credit too(a lot) and his grading scale is to the students advantage.

All of his stuff is open note open partner besides the tests which are just open note. He is a very sarcastic guy and if you can't handle that don't take him. You do have to go to class for a small portion of your grade. Overall I highly recommend

Great Professor, which I could have Dr Klingler for every Math Class

Prof Klingler is a teacher who cares about his students learning and development. His excitement for math got his students excited. Need more like prof Klingler.
