Excellent professor!

A real cool guy, he gives you lect. outlines and you are responsible for takin excess notes during class. Tests: ALWAYS study..if you do you'll be fine. Learned a lot *two thumbs up*

I took him for both earth science and astronomy. Got a 98 in both. The secret is to study the class packet you have to buy and take notes that he gives you and then study the packet with the notes on index cards. His test are process of elimination! There is only one right answer.

Mr. Klee was very helpful. Although seemed unclear at first- if you ask him hes more than willing to help, and even give you answers. Very well-educated and enthusiastic about teaching about ROCKS. Lab is made up of 2 lab practicals. Stay organized & go to class and you'll have an easy 'A'!

awesome teacher and interesting

I loved Tom. He was way cool. All you had to do was go to class, USE THE MATERIALS , and STUDY!!!

75% of your grade is 2 exams. 1st exam is very difficult. 25% is weekly lab reports that he will give you the answers to if you don't understand. No chance for extra credit in this class.

I thought Tom was a great guy. He was always very helpful to me, but I gave him a score of 3 in a couple of areas because the quality of the material was low because it can throw you off. Two exams 75% and only 25% for labs? Thats harsh in my opinion.

I thought this class was very esay, you just have to take a lot of notes and actually pay attention to what he is talking about! Plus he gives you an outline, and study questions.

Took Klee for lecture and lab. 1st lab exam was slightly difficult. The rest was fairly easy. Just study all of the lecture notes and you will do good on lecture exams. Extra credit for each exam, including final in lecture class only. Smart teacher, but a little dry.

No Comments

He totally sucks. Puts too much material in each exam and very boring. Exams are too hard and detailed for a gen ed class. Lab consists of 2 tests only, the first one being VERY hard. He braged about giving a straight A student her 1st B in his lab. Thinks his class is the only class you have.

Wonderful teacher! You will need to actually work for an A but this is not uncommon, I hope. Always there to help and a great PTK Advisor!

this professor should be limited to teaching only those who wish to be employed in one of the earth science fields. He is rediculous when it comes to the amount of material he expected us to know. He makes you buy his own manual, and it covers EVERYTHING in the entire book. (we are tested on all of it)

OK, I read these horror stories and am now convinced there must be alternate realities. I enjoyed Mr. Klee's astronomy classes, learned a lot, had to study--yes, but made an A without losing sleep. I have nothing but good things to say about this man. I also found him to be very helpful--for all who would ask for help. The course book mentioned

This professor is hard, yes, but he's also incredibly clear and helpful. If you pay attention and study, you will do well. I worked hard but made good grades all through his class. Imagine a professor who actually wants you to work! That's ludicrous! A little dry, but will leave you in no doubt of what he wants you to know. Buy the objectives outli

He basically taught his class like high school! it was simple if you showed up and took notes!

I am not an earth science major, in fact I really don't care for science. However, I got an A in lecture and lab because I studied and went to class. If you do the work, you get the good grade. Plain & simple

Sweetest man EVER! Keep up in class and take good notes. Everything you need is in the outline. GO TO CLASS and study the notes and you will be fine!

SO BORING!! I wanted to fall asleep. the class really isnt that hard. you just have to listen....to him saying the same thing over and over :). HES REALLY NICE THOUGH. just repetative. also very helpful, he doesnt want you to fail.

Very nice teacher, basically a lecture, but he allows you to ask ?'s. All you have to do is study your notes. No need for book. Would def recommend.

He is a nice guy who wants you to pass. his attendance policy doesn't apply only if you miss half of the classes during the semester. Easy A or B Gordon rule very easy

He is a very good teacher! This is an extremely boring class, however, he makes every attempt to improve his lectures with visual aids, analogies, etc. He is very thorough, repeats himself over and over to ensure you understand and his notes are already typed up for you. Tests follow notes and he is always willing to help you out. Great teacher

It is a lecture class, you will be taking notes the whole time. However he is a great teacher, and he really wants you to learn, he tries to make it as intresting as he possibly can. Test are not easy but he gives you chances to earn extra points. Follow your notes and study for tests and you'll be fine.

I took SUM GLY1001&Lab &disagree w/all the people bashing T.Klee. His courses are boring/hard because you people make it that way. His text book is very comprehensive & he is always ready to explain and go over material even after classes. His tests are mutl choices & studying the txt book is enough. Most of you must still be in highschool mode.

Go to class, pay attention, and study. He gives you clues regarding the test questions throughout the lecture. Also allows for a Q & A day prior to the test. If you don't go to class or study, you will not do well.

I took his Earth Science class and lab over the summer. I def. had to study, but it was an easy A for me. I think he was a nice guy and great teacher.

Teacher is an all around sweet guy, BUT...no matter how hard I studied I still got a C average or lower on the test, which is a first for me, I am an A student. I suggest if science is not your major or area of interest, do not take this teacher. As nice as he is, it is not for entry level students.

Good teacher overall. He helps out a lot. Whenever you have a ? he will answer it all the time. I usually am a C student but got an easy B in his class. He reviews right before a test so I recommend studying a little before test and have good ?s ready to go when you show up test day.

His class is not a cake walk but also not difficult at all. I didn't score lower than an A on any of his tests for lecture. If you take notes and study even a little you'll be fine. He is one of a very few teachers at HCC that try to prepare you for University by not making everything extremely easy. A/B students should have no problem.

Klee is probably the nicest professor that I've come across. His class is semi-tough, but if you study enough and attend class reguarly, you should be able to pass. However, his classes are very boring! If you are struggling with the class and you truly are trying your best, he will try to help you as much as he can.

This professor really ignite my interest towards Earth Sciences. He was able to answered all my questions. He has knowledge on Science- and he enjoys his career. The class was not easy, but it dares you to study and go deeper into the subject.

Klee is a really helpful teacher, and he really enjoys the subject. Took his lab and his class, and found it very hard to pull a B in this class. You MUST study, and you MUST show up to pretty much every class. He wants you to succeed so there are many opportunities for extra credit.

Professor Klee is a really nice professor. I have taken him for Earth Science and Environmental Science. If you attend class, take notes and study (you must study to pass his tests) you will do fine. He loves what he teaches and it shows. Very helpful and tries his best to help you succeed.

Professor Klee is hands down my favorite teacher at HCC. Others on here say that his notes are crap and his lectures are crap but obviously they were just crappy students. The only way college will work is if you study and Klee gives you everything you need to pass.

Mr. Klee is a wonderful instructor. You MUST study to do well on his exams, but he gives you all of the material needed to succeed. He is always willing to answer any questions and help out in any way he can in order for you to be successful. I would definately take him again.

RUN !!!! I just withdrew from his class. Very arrogant and rude and treats students like in high school. Told students that if he didn't like the gordan rule papers that he would send the student to the writing center..Very strict about how his papers should be, as if it was an English Comp class! Don't take him!!

Good teacher. Read the book and study the notes and the A is yours. He can be a bit bland at times but he's definately one of those theachers that enjoys what they do. The work isn't very demanding. Use flashcards to memorize the material. Maintain the A and you can skip the final.

This is my favorite prof at HCC. I have taken environmental science, and earth science from him. I also did his tropical ecosystems class where you travel to Belize for 2 weeks during the summer. You do have to study in his classes, but its college, grow up! He really cares about his students and gives you the opportunity to succeed. Great guy!

His class is tough, I'm not going to lie. But he does give students ample opportunities to receive good grades and he is pretty helpful. Just make sure you read through the textbook as well as his reviews though and you'll be good.

Mr Klee is a great prof. Super easy. HE GIVES YOU THE MATERIAL THATS ON THE TESTS. All you need to do if hill in the blanks on the worksheets and study them before the exams. Dont listen to all these posts, they do not give him the credit he deserved. Gives lots of extra credit n even allows you to replace your lowest exam grade. Prof Klee = easy A

Loved him! He really cares about the class & seems to genuinely enjoy teaching. He knows what he is teaching and shares pictures that he has taken on his adventures that relate to items you learn in class. I strongly recommend this class for students with English as a second language as he enunciates and emphasizes every word; feels like ESOL

Mr Klee class is very transferable . If you are looking for a blow off class, you are looking in the wrong direction. Put your time in and you will do well. He is very thorough and articulate. Boring if you are looking to be entertained. If you have an interest in Science, Mr Klee is right you, like he was for me.

Tough but fair professor. He did talk down to us sometimes, but that is because it is an entry class. Study hard, follow his notes and take more of your own, and you will do well. He loves his subject. His lab class is very hard, and you have to pay attention and study - there are only 2 changes to do well.

I have some interesting anecdotes about Professor Klee, I knew him outside of the classroom before I took his course, so I definitely know that he's very PASSIONATE about what he teaches, so just pay attention and take ALL the notes you can. If you want a fair professor and study a LOT from his lecture outlines, you will definitely pass.

He gives extra credit just for missing less than 5 days of class. And the mandatory papers are extra credit. They are really easy. The lectures are boring, I rarely listened to what he said. After each outline is finished go through and answer the objective questions at the end. If you study the questions you can get atleast a B on the tests.

4 tests give extra credit really boring but easy notes 95% already printed out need to show up for the only 5% if you need help he stays after class and helps you

Tom is awesome! You do not need the book, all you need are the lecture notes that are extremely cheap. If you don't show up for class don't bother taking him. As long as you study the lecture notes and show up to class to fill out the lecture notes you should be able to pass this class easy. Lots of extra credit opportunities.

his grading criteria is the best and even if you don't do good in the exam, there are a lot of extra credits. I recommend you to take this class, you won't regret it.

He knows what he is talking about. He has a few short essays for the Gordon rule. It you constantly miss class you won't pass. Pay attention and you will pass.

Professor Klee is wonderful, I love his personality *witty humor*! His class might seem intimidating at first because it's lecture heavy but it's easy to pass. He's just a very organized and structured person, he does things by the book. Participation and attendance is important for you to pass because a lot of extra credit is awarded through it.

I liked that he made it easy for extra credit assignments to boost the grade. Its a lot of studying but you only have to buy the workbook for note-taking. Textbook is not required. As long as you study the material and do the extra assignments, you'll do fine. The way you write your notes will determine your grade.

You guys are funny. Must attend class to take notes requires you to retain a lot of info for tests his class is all lecture must write essays for the Gordon rule um if that doesnt describe ANY OTHER college class, idk what does. He was awesome. Witty, passionate about earth science, gives great study guides, esp for the lab. Recommend!

He stepped in after the original prof left. Buy the cheap notes and copy PP lectures. Extra credit is available. If you miss one, there's another. You write 3 GR papers and if you get a perfect score on the first 2, you don't have to do the 3rd. Study the notes bc his exams are based on that. Grades are based heavily on those exams.

I took ESC-1000 as a lecture course with live meetings. I also had Professor Klee for the Earth Science lab. He clearly identifies what is expected in the course. If you purchase the lecture guide (around $5), it makes studying much easier and you do not have to hand-write the notes as much. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Take time to study.

Professor Klee was one of the sweetest professors I've ever had. His tests can be a little tricky but the class is easy to pass if you attend the lectures and pay attention. He gives students many chances to pass and is very knowledgeable about space.

Professor Klee was very clear from the beginning of the semester how class and grades would work. Notes werent the best and the reviews didnt give a strong idea of what to study so it was best to study everything. While all of this is seemingly straightforward he gave many chances to basically improved your grade by one letter simply doing work

I took Professor Klee for both lecture and lab. For his lecture, your grade is based off 4 exams, 3 GR papers, 1 presentation and 1 take home test. Study hard for the exams because they are weighed heavily! He provides extra credit to help you out a bit. For the lab, we only met once a week and you can work in groups to complete lab assignments.

Professor Klee is a great professor. Very knowledgeable and understanding while explaining his material. Exams are easy if you study the right stuff. Attendance is crucial

GREAT professor, I really loved taking his class. He lectures on PowerPoints that are available online in case you miss a class. Very generous grader. He also made a $20 workbook you can buy from the bookstore instead of the expansive textbook, which was very helpful and thoughtful. He will also let you know exactly which pages will be on the exams

Took Klee again this sem bc he is so great at giving you opportunities to succeed, he does not grade the normal way so make sure you understand his grading system and you have to take advantage of the objective questions for test prep they are as close to the test as possible.

If you pay attention, you will pass this class! He gives you ideas of what the questions will be like on the exam. He also gives a lot of extra credit, if you just do them. Some of it is just attending class extra credit. His exams are 50 questions but it isn't as hard as it may seem. As long as you got an idea of what the subject is, you'll be ok.

Professor Klee's class can be challenging, but engaging with the material and utilizing resources like the workbook and unstuck AI can really pay off. The exams are tough, but the grading scale is forgiving if you put in the work.

Very sexy guy. I was happy he was my instructor.

You HAVE to study. I took this class because I needed the credits. It is not impossible to pass, professor Klee gives a lot of extra credit opportunity, but the test/ exams DO weigh a lot.
