Reviews of professor Kathleen Klaus

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Klaus is okay, I just wish I chose another professor. This teacher wants you to cite every sentence using footnotes. On my first paper, she gave me a bad grade because I didn't cite every sentence. But it was her fault because she didn't state what she wanted.

Just no. Im not one to come onto this sight after getting a bad grade. Its possible to get an A but you are going to have to do the MOST. Super hard grader with little feedback. Low key narcissistic. She assigned a huge paper over spring break a week late bc she was behind on grading and wasnt available at all via office hours or email at all.

Do not take this professor, she is rarely there to teach. If she is there, all she does is read off the slides in a very monotone voice. She will also take off points on exams with no explanation of what you did wrong!! Never felt comfortable going to ask her for help, and wish she cared more about her students. Big no for me.

I really enjoyed taking Professor Klaus' class! The class is definitely pretty lecture heavy, but the lectures are very interesting and informative. Make sure that you do the readings so that you can participate in discussions.

I have never left a rating on a professor before but I would be ignoring my civil duties if I did not discourage other students from taking her classes. She is condescending and rude at times (ridiculing and insulting over Zoom when there were technical difficulties on HER END), not understanding, and overall not interesting. Do. Not. Recommend.

I have written four papers for this woman. Every time I had zero idea what I did wrong. I followed her expectations, read her feedback, and asked questions, and still, I had no idea what she was talking about half of the time. Usually, I felt like she never even read my paper and just gave me the grade. Avoid this teacher if you can.

Disaster. Professor Klaus is one of the toughest, most difficult graders I have ever had the displeasure of working for. She expects the most intense citations one can possibly conjure up, and no matter what you do you will never receive the full points for them. Her lectures are uninspired, but draw on them heavily when writing your papers!

Professor Klaus is the kind of political scientist who presents limited data without any theoretical or historical frame, leading to apologism for colonialism, US war crimes, etc. Grades arbitrarily low without explanation, assigns problematic theorists, and doesn't provide room for anything that doesn't align with her views.
