Comment:

Kleinsmith's inefficient. He spends lots of time on doing things with homonyms and taking breaks. Also, he enjoys teaching students soft skills; whether it's useful or not, it's irrelevant to literature As well, I find his diction/grammar sketchy at times. He used the word ironical. Also, he misused quotes at least once that I recall.

Comment:

Prof. Klinesmith is a very good teacher. He has his own way of how he wants papers to be, he is very "old school." He cares more about quality than quantity. The longest paper we wrote was 5 pages. Class was boring at times but he cares very deeply about teaching and that really shines through. He makes an effort to get to know all of his students.

Comment:

Took Kleinsmith for Freshman Writing. He's probably one of the best professors I've ever had. Only had about 4 papers to write during the semester, each about 3 pages in length. I highly recommend getting your papers done early and giving him a draft to proofread to get the grade you want. Hes very easy to get along with and talk to.Take Kleinsmith

Comment:

I really didn't care too much for his class, but one on one he was extremely helpful. I found that meeting with him to talk about my papers and go over what it is I need to improve on was very helpful. He always gave me positive feedback on my writing as well. Overall a great teacher

VERY helpful class and professor. He tends to grade hard when it comes to grammar. I recommend taking this class if you're planning on attending grad school/ entering in the work force

This class is a freaking waste of my time. It is playing games, listening to him tell the same stories over and over again, and thinking he is fake.

Professor Klinesmith is a very good teacher and he respects his students a lot and is willing to do all that it takes for you to succeed in his class. Just get your papers done early so he can proofread them for you.

Don is Awesome. I've learned so much from him that I use everyday. His lessons are simple but powerful. He respects all his students and expects good work from everyone. Will not give easy grades, but will work with students to help out. Great person.
