Comment:

I think many negative reviewers for this prof/class simply dont like the class structure of an online class. Prof was reasonable about a test mixup and was responsive to emails. Not much feedback on assignments but tests were fair. Would definitely take a class with this prof again!! P.S. This class is NOT a bird course!!

Comment:

Fourth year student took his class as an elective and was extremely disappointed. There is absolutely no feedback from your unit assignments, he does not even write his own tests, causing confusion as the questions were not even from the same textbook!!! His responses via email were poor and overall just not fit to be a university professor

Spends weeks of the class time asking students what he should put on the midterm. Wastes a lot of time and only teaches and tests from the textbook. Not sure what he actually brings to the table as this class was completely self-taught.

While this course was insanely hard, I respect Jeff like crazy. He made advertising studies interesting and I want to work in this field now. We covered so much content it's insane - anything from 1800s ads to bits in a bizarre cult classic like Wayne's World. I don't like doing presentations but he is an interesting guy and shares great stories.

Dr. Klaehn has been an amazing professor! He is extremely caring about his students and very very passionate about what he is talking about in lectures. He checks emails frequently and is more than happy to give advice or feedback on papers. His AF105 course can be one of the best classes to take if you let it!

He acts like teaching isnt his job and that it is a crime to give more clear instructions. Useless professor in my opinion from what hes shown and through emails. Wouldnt ever want him as a prof again

The best prof I have had my entire time at Laurier! He is caring and encouraging, show the slightest bit of interest and he will give you his all to ensure you are supported and understand the material. His classes are essential in passing the course and there are numerous readings, however he listens to his students needs & will always compromise.

His teaching style is not the usual 'follow along with the slides lecture' but provokes meaningful and genuine conversations about the subject. You can tell he is really passionate about his work and really cares about his students. The best office hours I have been to ever so make sure to show up to those. Amazing prof!

Jeff was an amazing prof! He always gave students the opportunity to participate, ask questions, and share their thoughts in class. He was very accessible to answer questions about class content and assignments. He clearly cared about his students and went out of his way to make sure everyone was clear on the content.

Restored my hope in profs. He genuinely cares about the success of his students in the class and goes above and beyond to make sure they do well. Anyone who complains about him didn't read the instructions and probably got a bad grade from their own mistakes & a lot of the time the complaints are for things out of his control(test length + content)

Comment:

His instructions were so unclear and if you asked him to clarify he would just repeat what was in the syllabus. ZERO feedback on all assignments and for the midterm he expects you to write 3 developed essays in 90 minutes and 5 in 120 minutes for the final. He seemed kind but was not good at teaching online. Also the amount of reading was inhumane.
