Reviews of professor Jerome Klassen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
As long as you keep up with the course materials, you shall be good. Only graded by a few papers which are graded easily. Participation doesn't really matter, but due to this class being lecture heavy you will get behind. Definitely reccomend this class

This is the guy if you want to get your money's worth in terms of quality education. Long but engaging lectures, he brings up great examples which connect well with the course content. Reading is MANAGEABLE, His essay grading is lenient but still on the difficult end. But provides impeccable feedback on how you can improve.

Prof Klassen is brilliant. Anyone who is interested in working-class politics must take one of his classes at some point. This class will change your worldview. If there are students who have a negative conception of Marxism, they should also take this class. You will learn a lot regardless.

Prof. Klassen is super nice, although he was not that accessible during the semester. That being said he gave us days off to write papers, which was fantastic! Overall, the course has A LOT of long readings. You have to commit otherwise you will not do well.

Professor is very knowledgeable and makes everything really easy to understand. All you're graded on is 5 papers -- even if you don't like writing essays, they're short, graded easily, and deadlines aren't strict at all.

Jerome is a fantastic professor. He is extremely intelligent and capable of breaking complex theory into manageable bits. As one of the only profs that spends sufficient time covering theories outside of realism and institutionalism (i.e. Marxism, Feminism, Antiracism) he is a much needed voice in the department and discipline.
