Dr Klein is an alright professor but can go off topic very easily. He will spend alot of time on one topic and little on the next. He enjoys ag economics and is happy, but his lectures are usually pretty boring. Hard test marker.

Comment:

Dr. Klein is one of the most caring and kind professors I have had in my time at the University of Lethbridge. He makes it a priority to ensure students are caught up and understanding the material covered. It is also clear that Dr. Klein not only know what he is talking about but truly enjoys what he does.

Knows the information well but doesn't convey it in a way that can be understood by first year students. Material was difficult to understand, lots of graphs that didn't really make sense to those with little knowledge of economics. The textbook was really helpful but its a hard course.

Comment:

One of the sweetest people I've ever met! He shows up to class with a big smile on his face ready to go, even when he is not feeling his best. Clearly very knowledgeable of the course material, and economics in general. Even though the material was difficult to understand, he wanted us to succeed. The graphs he draws can sometimes be confusing.

Very nice man and excellent professor. His stories about the real world really make the class enjoyable. I thought that he spent too much time drawing graphs in certain lectures and that really made students bored and lose focus. Besides that you can really tell that he cares about his work and that is inspiring.

Comment:

Uses way too many real-world examples to the point that the actual terms sound like nonsense. No course work except a midterm and a final, so there's no way to see if you're up to par until it's too late.

Comment:

He knows his stuff very well but he doesn't know how to conveyshare the knowledge he has in a way that we, students, can understand. It would have been fun learning economics with him if he made his explanations clear and concise.

Worst prof ever. All he does is draw the same graphs over and over. Questions on exams are out of left field and he marks things at random it seems. He came to class unprepared and no one knew what the hell was going on in that class. He needs to retire ASAP.

Easily the worst prof I've had. Class averages were barely a passing grade. Doesn't look up from the floor once during his lectures. Draws graphs entire class. Very monotonous and dull. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

Comment:

All he did through the semester was draw graphs and graphs and more graphs. He rarely referred to the slides or explained anything. He's extremely monotonous and losing interest in his class is guaranteed. I didn't understand even a single topic in his class. The prof. probably forgot that he was teaching a Introductory course. Class Avg. sucked

Comment:

Rips through class drawing graphs and explaining the material as if you know it. Does not teach the material, the class is more of a review and he expects you to know the material before even entering the class. Oh and do not take your phone out, likes to go on a rant for 5 minutes if he sees one.

Awesome prof. He is very intelligent and definitely knows what he is talking about. Exams are 100% multiple choice and some of the questions came straight out of the online labs. Make sure you read the textbook and you'll be fine.

Comment:

Dr. Klein knows (and enjoys) economics. If you take an interest and study a little on the side, you'll do fine. He's happy to answer any questions after class and when combined with the Lab prof, pay attention and you'll do great. He's not the best prof you've ever had, but he's good for a laugh now and then, and gets the job done right.

He is brilliant and knows his stuff he's simply highly incapable of teaching first year students about it. Take Donna instead!
