Comment:

Jill was one of the best professors I've ever had. While there was a lot of work for the class, if you didn't do It you could still do well. I very much enjoyed her class and the passion, and Jill is just awesome. She's almost like a mom, especially if you have her for a gen-ed your first semester freshmen year.

She's great. Energetic, excited, gets you pumped for the material. She expects a lot but sets you up to get the work done and get it done well.

Best class ever. Jill is a great professor who cares about how well her students do during school and after school. Like all good prof and good classes, they need u to put in the work. For this class, don't lag behind or wait till last minute to do your project or homework. Also, choose partner from other majors or interests for the final project.

Comment:

It isn't the easiest class, but if you put enough effort, you will get an A. Just show that you are really trying hard. Lots of hw and labs. Hw take lots of time. Midterms are hard, reading textbook is essential to pass exams. She is willing to help, if you need help. My advice is to pace yourself and don't put everything off till the last day.

Comment:

Lectures don't really line up with the labs, and actually aren't even needed until the test. The labs/hw are graded by the TAs who are generally lenient. Klein grades all else - easy A- but harder to get an A. Doesnt BS, no tolerance for crap - but she does cut slack/extend deadlines for those she can see are trying. Put effort in and your are gold

Comment:

If you have half a brain and any motivation in your body, you will complete this class with over 100%. Her intent and instructions are not always clear, but you can work through it- or just ask questions. If you are lazy, or not tech savvy, don't bother. She doesn't really play favorites, just accommodates those that actually put forth effort.

Comment:

Klein is hardnosed, and doesn't BS, but is fair and very enthusiastic. If you have any motivated bones in your body you will do extremely well, this class is all about doing the assignments. If you are tech savvy at all it will be a breeze. She also has an impressive professional background. If you're lazy or slow, look elsewhere.

NEVER. EVER. EVER. take this class in the summer. EVER. you will regret it. There is no tech assistance. Do not take this class online. dont do it. Jill Klein rambles on and on about useless crap and wastes my time. She's a nice woman, not such a good teacher. and the class itself SUCKS. so dont take it in the summer or you will regret it

Comment:

She absolutely picks favorites. Your grade will depend on how well you can suck up to her. She grades really hard but doesn't teach anything. There is a lot of hype about her at Kogod but I don't get why. I would never, ever take her again.

Comment:

I still don't understand why student take her class. She is the worst ITEC teacher in the school, but students keep taking her class. Don't even consider taking her class. She talks a lot, and none of her talking is related to the subject. The worst class in Kogod

Comment:

She is really worthless. Don't ever take her class because you will never learn anything. She gives a lot of lab assignments and her homework are never discussed so you will find it very difficult to solve. I only recommend her if you want to lower your GPA.

Assignments are super time consuming and pretty hard. In the end though, it does not matter what you do and all that because she is HORRIBLE at picking favorites.

Very interesting and energetic prof. You won't be able to fall asleep during lectures. Labs and homework are time-consuming but useful. Downside? Quizzes are hard!

only one test, but it's extremely hard. the rest of the class is extremely easy, so it balances out, but it doesn't make sense. most of the work in the computer lab is done on your own or with the help of the TA (who are typically very good)

Comment:

Professor Klein is a kind, warm-hearted, and sometimes humorous professor. She tends to talk a lot and over-emphasize important concepts. Her grading is fair. I would recommend Professor Lee or Gibson for ITEC200.

Very nice, loves the subject. Very helpful with labs and classroom. Understands that everyone is not a tech person and designs class to acknowledge it. Do labs and homework and talk in class and you'll do fine. Only one test in the semester and very easy!

PROF. KLEIN LECTURES THE ENITRE TIME FROM POWERPOINT. SOME ARE INTERSTING AND SOME NOT SO MUCH. HOMEWORKS AND LABS TAKE A WHILE BUT ARE EASY A'S. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ASKING TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, SHE DOESNT KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT WILL MAKE SOMETHING UP. WOULD RECOMMEND THE CLASS OVERALL.

Comment:

I would recommend taking this class, but with a different professor. The class is made up of lecture of lab, but no where does the lecture overlap the lap. So unless you either know the lab material on your own or have someone who can teach it to you, you are going to fall behind. She doesn't teach any of the lab material and labs are VERY unclea
