Comment:
Do yourself a favor and DON'T TAKE THIS GUY. He doesn't care about his students at all and makes it impossible to answer some of these questions on his quizzes and tests. EXTREMELY RUDE to students for no reasons. He loves belittling you for asking reasonable questions. DO NOT TAKE - CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

Comment:
AVOID!!!! He does not care about students at all. NOT understanding at all. He is very rude towards students. If you have a question, he will most likely make you feel bad about asking. He blames the students for his bad way of teaching, he just reads off slides. Take someone else.

Comment:
Other reviews exaggerate the difficulty level of the professor. All the exam questions are based on his lectures. His exams are open book, he gives a 10 point curve on the midterms, and he curve the final grade up a level. Definitely don't rely on google during the exam. Listen to the class lectures and you will do well.

SELF STUDY!!!! Hell curve exams grade if overall class doesnt do better. Drop the lowest two quiz scores and one of the first two exams. Self Study!!!! If you want to pass the course do not depend on professor. Study yourself from the beginning to pass or to do better.

Comment:
Two midterms worth 40%. He drops the lowest midterm grade. Studying may or may not help as the questions are nothing like the practice. 20% of your grade comes from Connect chapter quizzes that do not tell you what you got wrong. Studied 7 chapters in a week for a final full of obscure questions that I've never seen in book or lectures. SELF STUDY!

Please do NOT take this man. He is the stereotypical economics professor at Baruch, monotone during lectures and just does not care. His tests are nothing like the hw, he's rude to students with questions, his grading is 40% midterm, 40% final, 20% hw. Many of his students did poorly on the tests because of how different they were from the homework

Comment:
The test scores are consistently low for majority of students, probably because the questions are so specific. You may get a decent grade after the curve, but he has decided to not curve the final. He has a bad attitude to students and shows through the semester that he does not care. Blames students for low scores despite us studying. Plsdon'tpick

If you wanna have a smooth semester, do not take Mr. Klein. It's not only the student's fault, he doesn't show so much interest in teaching various topics.

Class isn't mandatory but he definitely makes you work for your grade. There is a curve but you need to study hard and pay attention to his very boring lectures to get even a B. Overall a rude guy, avoid

Don't waste your time taking him, you will forget you're in college. He makes basic macro like its a masters level. 2 exams plus final. Drops one but it is worth 40 points +final 40 and hw 20. His lecture does no correlate with the exams, he makes it very hard for students to pass and does not prepare for it well. Avoid!!!!!! It will ruin your GPA!

So, I see that you want to fail. His midterms are brutal. You must read the book and listen to his boring lecture in order to get at least a decent grade. If you want to have a failing grade be my guest.

AVOID THIS CLASS! Norman Kleinberg is a horrible professor. He's one of those teachers that tries to make it extra hard for the students. Also, he does not explain the material in class he just zooms through the slides and expects you to learn EVERYTHING ON YOUR OWN. Find another teacher, trust me.

One of the hardest professors at Baruch. His lectures are pointless, he takes attendance for the first few but that's it. And even if you go to EVERY single one and study EVERY material he gives you won't get a good grade. His tests are nothing like the practice questions, nothing like the textbook, nothing like the lectures and nothing.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. He spends most of the class reading off of slides, but his tests are completely unrelated to the slides. For tests, this guy floods the tests with questions that he's never shown in class before and somehow expects us to solve them, and then he pretends that he wants the best for us.

Gives Exteremly difficult exams without really teaching the material. Basically it's a teach yourself class. Does not curve ( I guess becuase it involves extra work). Got very little out of the class. Found the teacher to be a little lazy.

Make sure you go to class. He gives many pointers on exams only once in class and will not repeat himself. Also do not get caught with your phone going off during class, you will be humiliated. One weekly quiz, two exams during semester, lowest out of two dropped, then cumulative final worth 40% of your grade. Practice many connect problems....

At Baruch, lecture style 150 students. He is no doubt a nice guy, but I gave him 2 stars because he gives tests that are ridiculously specific and nothing like the lectures or textbook. You will read the text and think you understand, then comes the test and he asks questions that are oddly minuscule. Where does Baruch find these professors?

I learned everything on my own. His class was useless. 2 tests and 1 final, drop the lowest 1 out of the 2 tests. I got 88 in one of the tests and did not do so well in the final, ended up with a B. To do well in his test, just do the questions on both Connect (graded) and the ungraded practice work. I went to every lectures but it's USELESS.
