Is this correct? psychology question classical operant conditioning!!!?

please read and tell me if i am understanding this correctly!! "Classical conditioning is a process of behavior modification where the subject begins to respond in a desired manner to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus. The neutral stimulus then becomes conditioned and causes the conditioned response. Operant conditioning is behavior modification in which the likelihood of a specific behavior is increased or decreased through positive or negative reinforcement each time the behavior is exhibited, so that the subject comes to associate the pleasure or displeasure of the reinforcement with the behavior. The main difference between the two is that in classical conditioning the conditioned stimulus is presented before the unconditioned stimulus and in Operant conditioning the reinforcement is presented after the response. Skinner is associated with operant conditioning and Pavlov is associated with classical."
