Prof. Kleinman is a funny guy who makes accounting lively. He'll drop the lowest grade on a previous exam if you do well on his final. He is a fair man who is rooting for you to do well. You do have to do homework to succeed. I have a feeling that a lot of students who criticize him on this website never opened the book.

I sense Professor Kleinman really wanted to be a comedian but ended up in an accounting career probably because it was a safer bet. He can be funny, but mostly he comes off kinda of uninterested and a bit lazy as a professor. Bottom line is if you want to do well in his class you will have to make up for some of his inadequacies.

I had Prof. Kleinman last semester - Fall 2014. I got an A in his class. For anyone who says they didn't like him, they probably didn't do the homework. I did all the homework and always got an A on the exams. If you want to be an adult, do the homework. Otherwise, why are you in school if not to learn? He makes you laugh, and grades fairly.

Professor Kleinbahn tells you the first day of class how to pass his class with an "A" and he is true to his word. Clear cut and simple. Don't skip class for his lectures cut the book in half and he points out all that you need to know for his tests. DO THE HOMEWORK, DO THE HOMEWORK, DO THE HOMEWORK. Good teacher, good people.

Professor Kleinman is a remarkable Professor. Expect to work for your grade, because Accounting as a course is many times more difficult if you do not do his assignments. However, he is amazing in his lectures, he always stays a bit after class to help anyone having trouble, and he is always hilarious. I would love to have him as a Professor again.

I took this 122 accounting class with Prof. Kleiman, I felt cheated. Prof. Kleiman was late for class all the time. I could have never seen my test after been graded, and in the final test the professor came in late to class, very late. I needed my time for the test to earn a better grade. Unfortunately, I did have a bad experience in this class.

It's amazing that he is still a professor teaching. He needs to be reviewed, he comes to class late every morning. Lectures from the book and thats all. Then lets us out of class 5-10 minuets early. You literally learn nothing, he spends more time joking then teaching. However, jokes on us when we learn nothing , wasting time and money.

Professor Kleinman is the best accounting professor. Show up, do your homework - extra credits which is very helpful at the end of semester, 5 multiple choice exams. and he drops the lowest grade. If you show your effort, he will aprreciate that and give you an A. Just do your work and get an easy A. I recommend this professor. Take him

Awesome! If you show up, participate and practice he will take care of you. Gives enough extra credit points to boost your grade up an entire letter. Homework not required but encouraged. No blackboard and No emails. Speak to him during class cause theres a 99.9 percent chance you wont catch him at his office.

By far worst accounting professor I've ever took. Tests are for sure more than 50% different from lectures. He says to prepare you for the unexpected in the real world. A passing is 55 in his class, wonder why.

Nice personality, very funny and tries to keep the class laughing but the jokes get too much to the point where it interrupts ur learning. Everything depends on exams, if u fail them then u fail the class. I did all my homework but still got a C bc of the exams. Wouldn't recommend it to those with an Accounting major bc you won't learn or pass.

Really nice guys. He is a story teller. If you are not familiar with the subject or if you are not a fast visual learner this may not be the professor for you. You will definitely need to go to tutoring and utilize the textbook teaching mods. He teaching style is to sit at the desk and go over the chapter/hw using powerpoints. No collection of work

If you can learn things on your own, you'll do fine. Use your textbook & take notes from it. Do all of the h.w.- not just the few questions he assigns. H.w. in your Pearson online acct is helpful. Don't expect to learn much in class. And if you feel like you need extra points to boost your grade, just talk to him about sports during class.

Genuinely cares that his students pass the class; however, may go off on a few personal anecdotal tangents here and there, which can be somewhat distracting and time-consuming. The material can be a bit difficult to wrap your head around, but with adequate study time and homework completion, an A is almost guaranteed.

This is a tough class, but the professor is a treat. If you pay attention and study, you shouldn't have an issue. The grades may be intimidating at first, but he is very accommodating and provides extra credit -- but don't expect a handout. Brings in a lot of real world analysis and relevancy to the course material that makes the class beneficial

Professor Kleinman is a caring teacher who sometimes goes on tangents, but the material is manageable with regular study using resources like unstuck ai. His class is a solid option with an almost guaranteed A if you put in the work.
