Jon is too smart to be teaching this class. His brain runs at a billion gigahertz, so I feel like he's malfunctioning when he has to explain introductory statistics in INFO 1260. The way he speaks is so robotic it's hard to pay attention. I think he could build an AI model that teaches this class better than him.

hated the course but loved the professor and the way he taught. definitely would never take the course again or any of the network classes but he was cool

Best professor I've had so far! Enthusiastic lectures and a lot of food related topics. Really knowledgeable and helps students understand the material well. Absolute GOAT.

The most brilliant professor. Clearly a genius and he is so accommodating and nice.

Kleinberg is the best! I've never had a professor that can explain concepts so thoroughly and so well. He makes everything so easy to understand, no matter what a student's background knowledge is. He is also so kind in office hours and truly feels like my Cornell dad after taking INFO 1260 last sem and INFO 2040 this semester. Highly recommend!

Professor Kleinberg's lectures, while dry, are very efficient and informative. He always posts slides prior to class, so attendance is optional in every sense. The psets for INFO 1260 took a good amount of time but were never outrageously difficult by any standard. Professor Kleinberg and his army of TAs will help out with any difficulties.

Very caring prof. His lectures were a bit dry for me at times, but I'm not a very mathy person. Overall though, this is an easy A.

Excellent professor with some really interesting material. Material isn't too hard but can be dry. Class is generally not very interactive.

Kleinberg is so smart. Too bad I didn't get to see his true genius in a course as easy as networks. It's still neat that he and Easley pioneered the field though, and the theory could have been challenging (the textbook goes into this). That said, networks was exactly on par with what I was expecting. Still hopeful I will see Kleinberg's brilliance

great class, interesting topics, easy to understand

One of the best professors I have had.

Amazing, clear, amazing, clear and amazing.

Professor Kleinberg is always very clear with his explanations of topics. He evidently knows his material very well and has no problems with anyone asking questions in the middle of lecture. The homeworks are easy; however, take the class seriously as a lot of material is covered.

Excellent class, highly recommended! Slow and steady coverage of material, easy, especially if you have prior experience in game theory (I did). Very good explanations of material. Handwriting could use some work. Easy tests and homework. Free electronic textbook is not necessary unless you don't understand the notes or want to go deeper.

Kleinberg is fabulously brilliant, and an incredible teacher too. Networks is honestly a waste of his teaching talent though, since the material is so easy and so useless. I really wish I had him for a real CS class such as discrete math or algorithms instead.

Best CS professor I've had, period. Very, very smart, and very good at explaining the material (I tried taking the same course when Tardos was teaching it...had to drop it), which made the class pretty straightforward and fun. He's funny, too :) If you have any interest in a class he teaches, TAKE IT!

Kleinberg made 280 my favorite CS class. Previous classes complained that work was impossible and the material was far too difficult - not my semester. Problem sets are not a piece of cake, but he explains enough in the problem set to teach you how to do it.

By far the best CS Professor I have had so far, with Pingali in a somewhat distant second, hes very clear and answers questions right away without confusion

one of the best CS professors at Cornell
