Comment:

Thought this night class would be easy. Reading assignments and class discussions of said readings every class meeting. Teaches absolutely nothing regarding what shows up on tests. Attendance grade is based on your classmates rating you; seemed very unfair even though I went to every class I just barely passed, even with studying the book for tests

Basicly his class lectures were pointless and not in any of the test. Class attendance is mandatory. No Hws, no projects, and you can pass if yo are lucky.

Comment:

The class lectures are mostly group conversations and discussion materials. The tests are completely based on the textbook readings. He will give the key terms for each chapter at the end of each lecture. Participation grade is determined by your classmates. Not a hard class at all.

Comment:

A good class that teaches you to be a reasonable person at workplace, but unfortunately had nothing to do with the exam materials that you have to memorize from the textbook. basically, class discussion is important (25% overall points) and yes he did pay attention who were in the class or not. Discussion materials have nothing to do with the exam!

Comment:

There are PDF case studies, so read what he assigned and discussed in class (for leadership 10%). We usually watched the video to get the main idea what we learn. He provided key concepts for the exams. Exams are based on the textbook, and he did not teach from the textbook so mostly you do self-studied. 3 exams (30% each, multiple choices only)

Comment:

Great professor! Read the book, that's where most of the exam problems come from. He provides a PDF with short real life scenario case studies and exercises to discuss. Class is mostly group discussions that have nothing to do with the book or exams. Grade based on exams and participation, so you must participate. It's fun, would take again!

Professor Kleiner is a very knowledgeable man. Knows his material like the back of his hand and is good to pass knowledge to students. One of the best classes I've had. You have the choice to learn and apply to real world. Great professor overall!

Super smart professor. Exams are very challenging, but they are passable. HWK is assigned at the beginning of the class period. Its a good class if you want to interact with other students. If you want to earn an A, you must attend all class periods. Fun class since we spent most of the class working in little groups discussing our HWK answers.

His class is so boring. Make sure you bring your laptop so you can watch youtube. Exams are relatively easy. Key words are given after each class session and just study them. Only attended half of them time and got an A at the end. Self learning class.

Dr. Kleiner is well-versed in business cases. Every class has group discussions involving cases. The lessons & concepts learned in this class is priceless! The knowledge gained is definitely applicable for the long-term: business & personal. Each exam got harder. Reading the textbook will help on exams. Participation is key!!!

2 Exams + Paper + Participation. There are tons and tons of group discussions. Make sure you disperse yourself evenly. Classes are case-driven & fun activities, too. Must read textbook to pass the exams. Each exam got harder. Kleiner has a lot of wisdom, especially with cases. Consistenly participating in class is very important.

Comment:

Review in retrospect. He's a great teacher. He inspires you to think and he gives you a list of what to study for from the book. Class sessions are for interaction and networking - which is what business majors should be doing. Learning to communicate and exchange thoughts and work out concepts vocally and amongst peers. Rare breed of Professor. A+

Easy A if you attend class, participate in class discussion every now and then and memorize the significant concepts he passes out at the begining of semester. The first 2 tests are mostly memorization of easy to learn concepts! Only the final may have a few critical thinking questions. Easy A if you read the book!

Go to every class and participate, next study the significant concepts and read the book. If you attend class he will highlight key points that will be helpful during testing times. Make sure you understand the material and you should do very well. Every test got harder throughout the semester therefore pay attention in class. Overall, he is good!

Comment:

This class is really boring and the Prof. does not make it that much more interesting. Its all lecture, honestly i fell asleep most of the time. But you can get an easy A by just studying your study guide. All the study guides for all the tests are posted from the beginning of the course. I recommend this teacher if you want to wing it

Comment:

Not recommended, lectures have nothing to do with the tests. Midterms are easy he gives you a studyguide and you just have to read the book. Here's the kicker, a good portion of your grade is participation based on a popularity contest held at the end of the semester. So make alot of friends in the class if you plan on taking this guy.

Participate in class discussion and read the whole book by your self if you want an A; the first two tests are easy but the final is xtremely hard.
