Comment:

Fantastic professor! I just finished a predictive analytics course with Dr. Klimberg. He was not only very knowledgeable, but also excellent and patient in demonstrating the fundamental concepts and techniques. He obviously cares a lot about his students. He encouraged students to call his cell phone with any questions.

Comment:

Prof Klimberg is excellent. I had him for an online course and he was a great teacher. It is obvious that he understands the material and he tried to relate it to us. He spent a lot of time asking if we understood and trying to give us easy ways to understand what he was teaching.

Comment:

This professor is absolutely terrible. I've never encountered a professor who uses as many filler words as he does (uh, umm, etc.). When demonstrating a concept in Excel, he'll say one thing but do another which makes it hard to follow along. He also references spreadsheets but doesn't provide them.

Klimberg is really nice guy. As long as you show up to class pay attention, do the homework, and put in a good effort you will get an A. You DO NOT NEED THE TEXTBOOK!!! I would definitely take him again.

Comment:

warning: do NOT take this professor. he is absolutely terrible. he does not focus on any fundamentals whatsoever. the classes consist of him lecturing the entire time, barely asking any questions. moves thru material very fast. quizzes and homework are impossible. the tutors don't even know half of the stuff we are learning. avoid at ALL costs.

Comment:

He doesn't teach any fundamentals, expects you to figure it out from examples. He's a really smart person, however teaching is not for him. Take another professor instead. I am really sorry I took this class because it is a huge waste of my time and I'm not learning much at all.

Comment:

Material has potential for extreme difficulty. Instructor is fair in that he covers key points only and is exact on what you're responsible for unlike other instructors where any content in the assigned chapter and/or text is fair game.

Really smart guy who talks funny. Doesnt always cover the material that clearly either. Will take time to help you if needed. his online lectures are useful to study for some of the later tests and finals

Comment:

Seems like it will be insanely tough at first but it turns out to be ok. Every test and quiz is open book and open notes, so you need to be organized to do well. Midterm and Final were 33% each and quizzes and HW (which you must hand in every class) make up the other third. He doesn't explain things very well, but if you ask questions it helps

Comment:

He was very helpful and his tests were opennote. His homework is very hard, don't be intimidated because he is an honors professor. Hated the final project though, too much of grade was depended on it. Gave us all presents at the end, which was really nice :) Just do your work, stay organized and participate and you will do well.

You need to slow him down and ask questions. Final was take home but took enormous amount of time. Work is challenging, group project interesting.

Not very clear, but extremely nice and genuinely wants you to do well. Tries very hard to make sure everyone understands. Just ask questions when you need to and put in a little effort. Open book everything. 2 easy projects.
