Reviews of professor Dorian Klein

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I totally disagree with the last reviewer. Dorian is awesome. Yes you have to read a lot and I recommend doing the problems for the end of chapter. I think he was very approachable and his TAs were awesome.

I learned almost nothing... the whole class is a waste of time and money and extremely confusing. The homeworks are not graded properly, lots of errors in the calculations, HORRIBLE TAs that dont help you and want you to fail!!! You'd learn more if you just read a book... NEVER AGAIN!

I feel like I learned next to nothing in class for a couple of reasons (1) it is extremely hard to follow along with what he is trying to say when every other word is "umm" or "uhh". A 2 hr class could be 30min if he could speak more concisely (2) he'll go through several slides about a topic like free trade without first defining the topic.

Dorian is a nice guy, but his lectures are absolutely useless for anyone trying to learn THE PRINCIPLES OF FINANCE. He puts slides together with maybe a few definitions/explanations in between, and then he shows mostly random graphs and just goes on tangents that are way above the level of the class w/o explaining. Gotta walk before you run...

He is the most awful professor I have ever met. And I cant believe this happens at Harvard. He talks non sense all the time and extremely enjoys talking politics that takes up the lecture time and he sometimes will extend 20 more minutes and still not be able to complete. All left behind is so difficult to digest but he let us study by ourselves.

Prof Klein is a good lecturer and you can tell he is passionate about the topic. However, Econ 1010 was really not helpful at all. Homework was extremely easy. the syllabus was not clear at all. I literally got an A with no effort. If you want an easy class I guess take it but if you want to learn something this is not your class.

You can tell that prof Klein is very passionate about teaching and does it in a very fun way. His life experiences neatly fit into lectures and I find myself surprised that 2 hours pass very quickly. I really enjoy having him as a professor. He is very clear and allows various ideas to be presented. He is a very good communicator.

I really enjoyed professors Kleins class, the on campus weekend had plenty of engaging content and he was quite affable. For the final grade in the class you have to get top 90th percentile to get an A, to do so you have to learn an entire 300 page Econ textbook, but it has made me a lot of $ on the stock market.
