Professor Klein is the worst. His exams didn't have much correlation with his lectures and the book. His lecturing style is all over the place and doesn't seem to lecture fully on a topic. His office hours at at ridiculous hours (like at 8am) and he does not reply to your e-mails. He does not give partial credit and grades extremely harshly. There are much better management professors out there. Whatever you do, avoid Klein.

Spring 2025 - DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!! For context, I am not a mgmt or bus econ major, simply just thought this would be an interesting class to take that had some decent hard skills and would provide perspective on contract law. The class was genuinely interesting & I thought the lectures were engaging. Klein has a great presence in class and is incredibly articulate. However this class went belly up. Klein is also suing UCLA, google it for more context. The class average on the mid term was 50%, we were told this would be curved to a B. I was included in this average. I had a 3.8 gpa at ucla and since I only had a couple quarters left, I figured I'd take this class. I studied my cheeks off for this final, and somehow, regardless of getting a B on the mid term, and never seeing my grade on the final (still hasn't been inputted into canvas) I see on my ucla that I received a straight up F in this class. Lectures are not recorded, and the class is impacted, so if you don't have to take the class, then don't. ESPECIALLY if you are in the same boat as me and just want to take an interesting class, DO NOT DO IT.

Fall 2023 - Pre-recorded lectures and course reader pdf available, email me at ************* at gmail for price The final was harder than the midterm (more questions, more application based conceptual questions), but other than that, he's good at teaching the material while adding in some extra knowledge that makes the theories make more sense. Glad I took 120b with him.

This class was absolutely dreadful. He's extremely lazy and does not care about his students. All we do is go over case problems in class, but how can we do them if he doesn't teach us the basics of it first? Then, on the test, that's another story! It looks completely foreign to what we've been "learning" in class. Klein is really condescending and apathetic toward his student. I'm a good student and I get good grades, but he structures his class such that it is way beyond unreasonable.

The class was pretty tricky, but not too bad. Don't overstudy. just really make sure you can understand the course reader material. For me, I didn't do so great on my midterm (got a low B) but i believe i got a higher grade on the final, ended with a B. On the exams, the first instinctive answer is usually right (at least 80% of the time) and i could have gotten an A- on my midterm had I followed my instinct and not changed my answers once i put them there (unless i know for sure my answer is wrong). for the final, I had a better idea of what I was doing, so I ended up ok. Also, participate in class as he will possibly raise your grade by half a letter if he sees you make the effort to really participate consistently. Overall tough class but it was interesting and I learned useful stuff.
