Comment:

David Klingaman is the worst professor I have ever had. He spent at least 15 minutes a day trying to figure out why his microphone didn't work, but there were just no batteries in it.

Comment:

All I can say is: Why o Why did I take this class with him?! He is not a good teacher. He does not teach. I am telling you right now...DONT GO TO CLASS! There is truly no point in going to his classes because he does not teach you anything.

going to class is a waste of time. just read the chapters and do the practice quizzes and the tests wont be too hard. going to class might actually confuse you more.

Comment:

everyone complains, but i dont think he's that bad. he rambles about terrorism at times and can never find his caculator. going to class is always worth a couple good laughs to see him flip out or screw stuff up or just stare at the wall.

Comment:

not clear, confuses himself. Jumps around a lot in the book. Has an absolute fit if you leave early. It's just not a good class or teacher. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone.

Very boring. Lectures are pointless. Read the book and do the practice quizzes. Class is a waste of time.

Comment:

I did okay in this class but mostly because I read the chapters that the test was covering. His lectures don't really seem to show up on the exams, which are worded weird, and it's easiest to read the chapters and do the online quizzes to prep.

I had to retake Econ and I got stuck with Klingaman. I recommend that if you do get in his class...DROP IT. The lectures are pointless, he constantly messes up and students correct him.

Comment:

He is not that bad-he just kind of confusing. However, going to class is pointless. Stay at home and read the book and you'll do much better than you would if you go to class.

This is by far the worst class I have taken, his lectures, from what you can actually understand pertain nothing to the tests. Get around taking this guy if you can.

This is the worst teacher I have ever had. Not only did I learn nothing, but his tests were impossible, and I was one of the select few that actually went to class. The guy could barely work the microphone for godsakes.

Comment:

I really didn't think he was that hard. Actually, his tests weren't very difficult if you prepared, and I don't mean an excessive ammount. The tests fit the lecture and the book, people just need to suck it up. I learned a lot.
