Workload: 5/5 (with 5 being lightest)
Clarity/Helpfulness: 4.5/5 (with 5 being best)

Pretty good class. Klein is really good at giving engaging lectures with real world examples. The lectures are pretty straightforward, as is the course reader. There is no homework, although doing the recommended homework may help you prepare for exams, since there aren't a lot of preparation materials. Klein responds quickly to emails if you need help.

As long as you religiously study his lectures/notes and understand the logic behind every concept he goes over (and apply it), you will do well in this class. Especially if it's online, this is not a tough class at all.

Klein is very engaging and funny. His examples are very clear and easy to remember. I never got bored in his class, and I definitely recommend taking him. Selling the course reader and a pdf version of the textbook included at no charge, contact **********.

I really enjoyed taking this class specifically because of Klein's lectures. He provided a course reader with all of the notes so you could just listen to him lecture without having to take extensive notes which helped me really grasp the information. He made his lectures entertaining by providing scenarios that we could understand well. Klein also made sure to be very unbiased when discussing topics such as politics and usually makes sure to say man or woman / he or she which I really respected. Overall I really learned a lot from this class and was able to because of his teaching style. The only downside of his lectures are that they aren't recorded and there are no notes posted online. Grades consist of 40% midterm with 20 questions and 60% noncumulative final with ~24 questions. You are able to use all your notes, the course reader, and the textbook for both exams. He only provides one practice midterm/final with 20 questions and the practice problems he assigns from the textbook aren't helpful because they either cover something we didn't discuss in class, the current numbers/rates don't match what we are taught, or the layout of the question is different than the course reader. So a big downside of this class is finding a good way to study because the questions on the exam seemed to be phrased differently than how they were on the course reader. If you have any questions I would recommend to talk to him in person instead of emailing - he isn't super communicative/responsive outside of class. I would definitely recommend taking this class because the information is super beneficial but wouldn't say it is an easy A.

I took this class asynchronous, so I can't speak for any other version of the class, however, if you can take this class with Klein asynchronous I highly recommend it. His lectures are short and concise, he never gives unnecessary information, and he only tests you on things he talks about in class and are in the course reader. There were only two grades, Midterm (40%) and Final (60%), but as long as you study two or three days before the test this class is very very manageable. Highly recommend.

This class was asynchronous and unfortunately, the professor wasn't that accessible. In the syllabus, professor Klein listed what videos we needed to watch each week in order to keep up with the material. The homework assigned from the textbook (it was not checked) was different from the midterm and prior to the exam, we were given 1 practice midterm with 20 questions (10 of which were on material we hadn't learned yet). You're graded based on one midterm (40%) and one final (60%) so there is little room for error. It's hard to feel prepared going into these exams without a study guide, practice problems, or homework questions similar to what we'd be solving on the exams. The exams were pretty difficult and it was somewhat hard taking notes from the lecture videos when most of the material was taught aloud instead of written. The workload was manageable, it was just the exams and way the material was taught that was more challenging.

Professor Klein cares his students in general. He responded students email really fast, even in the evening or weekend.

This class has no HW, exams gave 24 hours window to finish. Exam questions were short and the answers were all on the course reader. There was no surprise because he only tested what he covered on the video lectures. Having enough time for exams is the best. On the top of that, he gave us extra credit for participation of evaluation instructors.

His lectures are up to date. He is very knowledge and always willing to share. His lectures were really focus and funny. He gave background stories to teach the concept. Now I am moving forward to higher level classes but I still remember what we learned. He is one of the best professors in UCLA.
