Reviews of professor Emily Klein

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Amazing inside and outside of the classroom. One of the only professors that I actually look forward to taking classes from, and have gone out of my way to attend. Lectures are informative, interesting, and you can tell that she actually cares about what she's presenting. Addresses controversial opinions and topics with dignity and respect for all.

The usual 3 papers. But is creative and "fun" with them- so not basic defend your thesis. Is kind of annoying but nice. Expects a lot of participation.

My first and best seminar professor during my time at SMC. I loved how she incorporated her drama background with our seminar material. We acted, we rapped, and we drew - she pushed all of us to explore our own creativity and made some boring texts fun again. I always had great feedback on papers and my participation. Love professor Klein!

She has an interesting background in performance theory. It gave me new perspectives on how anything we do is a performance.

Very calm, kind, and fun person to be around. Facilitated some of the best seminar experiences I've had. Tried mixing up discussion formats often with fun twist to encourage everyone to speak out. No busywork or annoying papers, just come to class prepared and engaged and you will do great. Try to get in to her section if you don't want to suffer!

Emily Klein is true gem amidst some pebbles at Saint Marys. She's passionate about what she teaches and is always around to help outside of the classroom. Discussions are thought provoking and spark conversation and critical thinking that make us question what we know, and realize our implicit biases, privilege, and placement in the world.
