Mr. Klinger is a great professor. He's a straight forward good natured man whoose tests are soley composed of material that he teaches and lectures about. He sports a quality, refined, yet reasonably designed Intro to Business class, virtually free of unusual demands, or odd distasteful quirks. I suggest you select him for your next business class

Nice man and a good teacher.attend class and take notes, tests are easy.drawbacks are, his homework assignments are very vague, leaves you and your group guessing alot on what he wants. Homework is done in groups, which is not good if you get a deadbeat in your group.the deadbeat gets the same grade as you. basically laziness is rewarded this way.

I enjoyed talking Klinger's class. I definitely learned a lot. His assignments can sometimes be tricky, as if you miss one direction it can cost you a lot of points. It was also a little annoying working on group projects. Besides that it's a good class. Lectures are never dull. When it comes to assignments, take his advice and panic early

Klinger is the worst for online classes. He gives way too many papers and essays. The group projects are AWFUL and nearly impossible to get ahold of everyone to have it go smoothly. His notes and slides are pointless and so is reading the textbooks. He seems to be really lazy and does not really care if students are learning what they need to be.

Professor Klinger was a great professor! He taught class well and made sure to make it interesting and interactive. Homework was portioned out well and fairly graded- we primarily worked in groups. I highly recommend taking this professor if you want to learn but still enjoy class.

Repeats everything word for word from the powerpoint slides u can just read at home but still grades you on attendance. If u get assigned a bad group ur stuck with them so it impacts ur grade. Study guides are not helpful at all and he expects u to memorize 10 pages worth of notes to do good on the tests. Doesnt explain how to do the homework well.

Klinger is by my best definition tough but fair. He warms up on you after a few classes and is for the most part enjoyable to be around. I will say that his political beliefs do poke out with some comments during the course but for the most part he keeps the classroom unbiased. He struggles sometimes with being wrong.

I enjoyed Klingers class a lot, I was fortunate to have a really interactive and fun class! He calls on people randomly to keep everyone attentive and prepared. He's a good teacher and gives some great advice. Total of five homeworks (4 groups and one individual) so if you get stuck with a bad group, tell him immediately!

Avoid taking this course online. Group projects are impossible. Unrealistic to get together with group members when the purpose of online is for flexibility. Professor stated you have to be able to manage anyways! A lot of assignments/papers given weekly. Hard to keep up with other classes and read text in time for test.

Overall he gives great feedback, and actually explains what went wrong. His extra credit is hardly worth anything especially at the amount of work is required for it. He is a very tough grader and no matter how you believe you did its not good enough. He graded us how he thinks we did at the end.. avg grade was a 75 for the class.

Great teacher! Lots of notes, group work is common, tests are like 55ish questions (real-life examples), stay up to news he'll ask abt it, he teaches marketing too, must speak at least once every class, super social, interactive classes! He's fair, you get the grade you work for, class avg. was like 92

Professor Klinger is a smart man when it comes to Business. He lectures every class, the whole time so you have to take a bunch of notes. His tests are pretty hard. He calls on everybody at least 5 times a class per person, and he is a hard grader with everything. Its not very fun since all there is is lectures, quizzes, tests, and projects.

Klinger may seem strict or mean at first. Will all on you a couple of times in class. Dont arrive late ever, will make u wait outside to ensure you understand punctuality. Exams are not too hard. He is flexible, does group projects, extra credit. You will take many notes but as long as you review them, youll pass. He is great and has good humor.

Klinger is great for intro to business. Genuinely, lots of lectures but they're engaging, and make sure to participate so he knows your name/face. There's not too much homework, just a few big (interesting) assignments. If you hate group projects, like me, you'll find these okay as he gives opportunity to truthfully evaluate your group members.

Professor Klinger is a very rude, snarky, and ill-mannered jerk. He can be super unfair if he feels like it. You need to pray that Professor Klinger will choose to not bully you. My worst grade of all my classes is in his class, all because he does not know how to respect his students and for some reason picks on the kids who struggle. DO NOT TAKE!

Mr. Klinger because he shouldn't even be considered a professor is the worst "teacher" at this school. I walked into class a minute late on the first day, and he stood me up in front of the class and made a student tell me his two rules: "Don't be late" and "Don't walk in between a teacher and his audience" (which I didn't even do).

He makes you want to work harder. I have taken him twice. If you want to learn, then he's the teacher for you. He's not going to treat you like a little kid, but how the business world will treat you.Just don't be late to class, just like you shouldnt be late to a job. Put effort in. He prepares you for real life and I'm thankful for that

Very little homework for this class, which did make it difficult if you didn't do well on the exam or assignments. He was very helpful and always open to help his students. We mainly talked about notes all day, but he makes it fun and interesting. Really appreciated his care for his students.

Don't get me wrong he was a good professor, however sometimes the exams were harder than needed to be because he would lack explanation in something. Felt like I knew most of what was on the exams and then received an ok grade. Would take again but don't be afraid to ask questions to clarify.

I genuinely at first didn't like Professor Klinger, but 3 months later, I can confidently say he was my favorite prof. He's incredibly gifted in the field he works in, and if you can't tell, he's not at RVCC for the money, he's here for us, to help students learn and become a better business person. I learned so much from Klinger, highly recommend!

Great Professor, very knowledgeable in the subject you can ask him about anything related to business. Always looking to talk about anything business related and truly cares about his students leaving the class with more information than when they first came in. 3 exams lowest gets dropped, final is worth 41% so do not take it lightly.

I took his business simulation seminar course and it was definitely my favorite at RVCC. Very group oriented and I made a lot of amazing friends. Once the simulation was over he adjusted an extra 15 point boost to our grades. Really great guy, enjoyed having him.

A good professor but you can't go in class if you get late, you have to wait outside (even if its a minute late) until he lets you go in. A lot of homework, and doesn't explain amazingly the work, tough grader, takes time grading but you will get an A if you put effort into the class (Class is not easy, but he makes it hard)

A+! All homework is group assignments, but they are designed to help you practice working with strangers in a group environment (aka having a Real Job). Pros: great attitude, fair grader, organized Canvas, fun lectures, always real-world applicable information. Cons: rubrics can be confusing (ask for clarification- he will reply). Don't be late!

I learned a lot from this class. You can tell he's a very smart guy. The weekly quizzes were rough but the exams weren't bad. He will call on you randomly to answer questions so be prepared. He comes off scary but he's really not bad. He's a little forgetful so double check he marked your question right on exams.
