Professor Keating is a great teacher. Peer editing is an important part of the class. Every essay written goes through a rigorous revision process. He utilizes Google drive to review your writing process. He gives sufficient time for each essay. He is willing to work with you, just ask him. He gives great feedback to help students succeed.
This professor takes time to explain the assignment, but the websites he uses are a bit complex. He goes over it too quickly and expects us to know how to do it right away. Overall, very good teacher needs more interacting too shy.
need to attend class to be able to understand what he is requiring for his papers. If you don't attend class you will be very lost but he records every class session which you can go into the goggle page he has and go over.
It would be great if maybe the first days could be on reviewing the use of the class website. However, the videos that are made to help a student step by step, are very helpful.
Reading the book makes completing the assignments much easier. Also, the videos posted are a life-line because they show the step-by-step process for completing and submitting the assignments. Some would say the assignments are tedious, however, after completing them I feel better prepared to present an argument in a logical manner.
Good professor, however you will have to adjust to google+ & docs, ect. Basically say bye to original Microsoft word & PowerPoint & be prepared to learn a whole new website through youtube videos, EVEN THOUGH we PAY to use Pearson you won't use it just for the book. If it were up to him he'd probably put the book on google+ as well.
Respected professor. Gives good feedback on your essays and is always there to help.
Very good professor, explains the material very clear and is very helpful and easy to communicate with.
Great professor, guides you thru the semester and he grades based on your work, class is really interesting . I would take the class again!
He is a good teacher , lectures are kind of hard because of technology but you do learn
Gives excellent feedback on essays. Yes you will work with a partner however he makes it interesting and it isn't as horrible as you may think. As long as you're up to date and on the ball with your work you'll be fine. One of the few professors I would actually recommend.
He is a great, awesome professor. Everything in his class is crystal clear. He gives plenty of explanation for the assignments and examples. THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THE MANY WEB PAGES THAT I HAD TO USE!
Excellent Professor. You need to go to class to pass.
Teacher teaches well he explains what he wants and if you do not understand a specific assignment he will go over it. I think that he is clear what he explains and is not a hard class. I think that the class is a bit demanding but overall a good class. This is my second semester with this teacher and I would definitely take him again.
He's a great professor when it comes to explaining the lecture itself but the way the assignments were given were very much confusing and could use better work. For future references when you're explaining how to use something make sure you explain step by step how you do it from your end to ours. Many times i would see several lost
The class overall in my perspective is easy, just you need to be dedicated on the assignments. Compared to my first Comp. I professor Andrew Keating did an okay job teaching. He expects us to know at least something about comp. after all it is Comp. II .But a little help in the assignments and the portfolio would of been better ,but overall okay
Excellent professor real interactive with his students. However get accustom to using google, gmail, google docs, etc. Not real clear sometimes so ask question! BRING A LAPTOP EVERYDAY!
Hello, Mr Keating, I really like your class, but the only problem I think it should be less complicated. There is so much information and sometimes it is very confusing because the instructions are not clear.
Only uses google apps and his website instead of Pearson. If taking professor make sure your very familiar with Google.
A class with Professor Keating might be simple and you might receive an A if you give it all your attention. Although it is "an easy" class it may be a little confusing at times, specially if you are not very well known with technology. He might need to be more clear about things and let us know a little more about where we can find certain things.
The teachers class was a fun class to be in. The classmates were really helpful especially when it came to group projects. If you were lost in the class all you had to do was ask your partner or ask the teacher. The teache would always help you out when you did not understand the assignment. Although English is not my strongest subject it was a ok.
I took Mr. Keating for comp 1 and comp 2, and found his classes to be fair and got a good understanding of how to use google apps. He will put you to work on a paper with a partner, I do not like group projects.
Before taking this class with this professor be familiar with google or you will have trouble in this class. And be aware of deadlines.
Keating is a good professor if you like the whole tech-savvy scene, he gets into using a lot of technology and I feel that this is an advantage for students. Everything you do in his class is through your laptop nothing is on paper and this is helpful in getting us ready for what school is soon to be in the future.
His class is good. He help you but you have to ask. There is a lot of work and you need to learn how to use google tools. I didn't like working in groups. It will be good to select your own partner. Sometimes he get's confuse with some details of homework but he always try to do what is best for students. Really helpful
He uses google apps which are easy to use and great when working in essays with a partner. He will make you choose a topic at the beginning of the semester and then work in an essay giving arguments why you choose that topic because there will be an opposing team that will be against you in a debate.
I can really say that his class has improved a lot, from last semester. I think I learned more this semester from his class, also because I had to worked alone through the research paper, I can tell that I did learn because the grades that I got were by my effort and work, I like the way he works in class but he could explain better his assingments
It is a great teacher , but he does not explain at all what he wants in their paper. This semester we write only one paper, but we write more than pages. He only wants 5 sentences in one paragraph
The professor was very explicit on his expectations and also created a website with the schedule for the entire semester. He also recorded each class which also helped students go back and view something that might not have been understood during class. I loved the fact that he taught us how to write by using a scaffolding approach.
I enjoyed the class, it's just having to do all assignments on time and follow the rubrics provided to achieve good grades. I would take this class again, because the professor does a great job at teaching and providing feedback d help when needed.
He is a really good teacher although he is not good at explaining himself because he is always changing his mind. He does post videos explaining well what he is trying to say. You will also need to be good at technology because he loves using google apps. Other than that you are set for a good semester as long as you turn in everything on time.
He is a good teacher.
As long as you do your work you will pass.
The class was pretty easy and the time passed by fast. the teacher is understanding of your problems and wont mind if you come late for class once in a while. you will pass if you do all of your work ,it is pretty hard to fail this class. The only complain I have is that you have to work with partners but this mite be a good thing for you.
He is one amazing professor.
Mr. Keating is a great professor!Very intelligent and always down to learn new things that deal with technology. He showed us better ways to get our work done without using the schools programs which are hassles. I encourage others to take him in the future. He works with you when you need any help,answers all your questions without hesitation.
Mr. Keating is a great professor. He showed us new ways to do our work such as Google applications, the applications were so much easier than the ones the school provides us with, and what's better is that Google applications are free. Mr. Keating will help you with anything you need without hesitation.
This Teacher is amazing! I love the way he teaches. He's inspirational. He doesn't let us give up and i acknowledge that.
He gives you plenty of time to finish your paper, it's up to you if you want to pass or not. He doesn't give out grades easy, you have to work for it. Very nice and a good professor overall.
professor keating is the best english teacher I've ever taken. His focus on developing writing styles and healthy writing habits have helped me grow as a student. I recommend his course to who feels they are a weak writer.
He is a very good professor. The only problem is he sometimes adds things to the assignment at the last minute just before it is due. Otherwise, as long as you turn in your homework and do your portfolio, this class will be a piece of cake.
After taking this course I learned more in creating a college level essay I would recommend this teacher to the people who have problems in constructing a paper.
Is a great professor, there is no real reason to be confused because he recordes class and is able to be watched on youtube.
Mr. Keating is a very well oriented and knowledgable instructor who cares plentiful and pays attention to his class and give student sufficient time and motivation. He tells us to give it "GANAS" and he will see how much effort one has invested. He teaches a very step by step course allowing one to learn well.
My instructor help me a lot, because he give a good feedback and learn for my mistakes while I was writing my essays.
A good class you learn how to properly create an essay and research.
Mr. Keating is a wonderful professor. I enjoyed his class very much and his Socratic circles were so much fun. He's extremely nice and insightful. Plus the stories he assigns are interesting.
His class was fun and very outspoken, the good kind of outspoken, by the students as he wants us to get involved with arguments and conversation.
Overall he is a good proffesor, you just have to do all the work he asks for even though you don't get a good grade everything in his class counts.
Overall good professor, when you dont understand you will need to ask for help or he will expect you to know what he says. If you dont do homework expect to fail.
Great man just confusing at times one can easily get lost throughout out the semester if not on top of your game. One has to go and ask question or meet him for more information or to clarify some misunderstandings. He's a challenge
Good professor
He is a very good professor, he is well organize it is a very difficult clasS so if you don't keep up you will have a lot of trouble overall i liked the class. He explains well and helps you with everything. I found out that the class is not that easy you really Have to try you're best because it has a lot of work and you have to write a lot.
Very good professor, the class was a bit challenging a lot of technology was used you will learn how to create a portfolio and be on Google sites.
Very good class attend class everyday just do your work and you will pass.
I really enjoyed the class, be prepared to do a lot of writing!!!
Get ready for technology. If you aren't tech savvy it will be a little difficult to keep up. But do not fret, he records the classes and uploads videos of how to do the things he will ask you to do. The way he approaches the class is pretty cool. I really liked how he wants to hear everyone's opinion and never imposes his own. Would take again!
Great teacher, very helpful, but you have to put in effort too!
Awesomeness.
All the feesback provided was great. Also loke the way he let us work together as a class
Great professor. If you want to learn a thing or two I would suggest him.
Professor Andrew Keating is a great professor He helps you with grades. Expect homework. I enjoyed the class my essays became better because of the feedback the professor gave me. The professor gives you chances to do better in your assignments. Just make you talk to him in person. he is entertaining and he likes to use new programs in the laptop
Great Professor! For those who are really wanting to further advance writing any writing techniques this is the class to take!!
He's a good professor. Must teach Comp II for fall.
A lot of work but Mr. Keating is very patient with everyone and is very understanding.
Great professor, was always helpful when a student didn't understand a subject. Took it as a summer course so there was quizzes everyday and we had to read everyday for them. But other wise it was a good course, I would totally recommend.
Mr. Keating is a good professor because he goes straight to the expectations of ever single assignment. Furthermore, he shows interest in helping students with the content of the assigned essays, which is an aspect I have not seen oftentimes.
The class was challenging but possible, the teacher gives good feedback.
works with Google Docs mostly, so if you're not familiar with the program you need to learn in order to pass the class.
Professor Keating is by far a really good professor. His class is certainly no to memorize stuff from textbook but he expect for his students to learn the material and be able to apply it in in class work as well as in the quizzes. Quizzes are very challenging but his one on one conference for assigned essay are VERY helpful in improving.
He is a good professor the lectures are very helpful if you put attention you will get good grades on the quizzes. He gives very good feedback better than other professors. You really need to know how to manage Google apps. The only bad thing is that assignment are not very clear, but if you follow the rubrics he will give you a good grade.
Challenging class overall. Quizzes and specific grading rubrics can either make it or break it for you grade. His feedback on assigned essay is really helpful in improving writing skills since he actually gives you ways of how to change sentence structure during conference time.
Very good professor. He takes the time to work with you if you are having difficulties and he is very clear. He gives you quizzes when you finish a chapter but in order for you to get a good grade you must pay attention and read the chapter.
I strongly recommend to take this professor. I learned many different techniques in his lectures. If you are planning on taking comp II, I would say he is strict but a good professor. He encourage students to do the best they can. He is very pacient if you put attention in classes. Participation is very important. As long as you do your work.
this professor is awesome. he gives great feedback and willing to help you if you don't understand. i would take this class again.
I would not take him again due to that he doesn't explain that good his assignment.
Mr. Keating is extremely strict, but you'll learn
Get ready to slow down time and put your thoughts on paper.
At first, learning the new technology might be a little overwhelming. Stick it out because, once you get it, you'll love the new programs you will learn to use. There is plenty of feedback. You will receive feedback from Keating or your peers on nearly every part of your assignment. The revision process is emphasized in his class.
You will be tech savvy once you leave this class. You will have trouble in the beginning if you are not familiar with Google Drive, Docs, etc. If you ask questions, he will help.
Great class overall, the professor was very clear in explaining everything and actually wants his students to succeed but makes you work hard to get those high grades. This course definitely taught me that if I want to pass I have to get all my draft backs done which is 1,000 per paragraph. Plenty of feedback is given by the professor which helps.
Mr. Keating is a very good professor for English Composition. He assisted me with my writing skills that other professors never touched. He helped me develop great writing skills by his assignments which had a great ending to them. These assignments assisted me in getting better at my writing skills by following his steps.
Our final exam was a reflective essay on our growth as a writer and what we learned in his class.
It as a pretty difficult class, but I did learn a lot from it. Not only did we learn about writing but we also learned about google chrome and it's documents. This class took up a lot of time but it's all worth it at the end.
2 quizzes a wk. One a recall on the short story you're assigned to read the other over the lecture. Every week you do a share circle, talk about the short story. You also do a project on your own.
Mr. Keating's class consists of 4 major writing assignments (clear cut rubrics provided for each) plus weekly peer reviews, tutoring sessions, and quizzes. You will be introduced to new online resources that you will utilize throughout the semester. Expect fun classroom seminars and activities. Overall a very engaging and enjoyable course!
Easy class, not a good speaker, will help GPA with little effort
Do expect to go to class regularly, he has to see you participate in your learning. Class is good if reading is your thing. Don't slack off.
Inspirational teacher
His class is chill
Helps understand concepts and help get there message through to students, also helps open the ground for thoughts of an ideas to expand knowledge, pretty chill
The class and the teacher are good. I learned about poetry, some older literature and a little about philosophy. Overall great class, work is between difficult and easy. Makes you work and think. Don't be late on work and try to show up.
He is not Keating when he says the tests will be tough.
This class helped me a lot and I think I am ready for collage
Mr. Keating's class was one of my favorites class this school year. He has a very clear understanding of the lessons he teach, and although his methods are unorthadox, they've worked.
Expect to actually read in his class and be ready for the Socratic seminars. You will use Google programs a lot and it might be confusing at first but he will guide you through them. He is a great teacher, I would always look forward to to his class. I feel I learned a lot not only from the the subject but also from life.
well the course requires laptop/computer interaction all the time, so if a student wants, they can bring their laptop but if they don't have one, he provides an entire cart of laptops for the students.
Mr. Keating's English class will prepare you for any English-Related test. Hands down best teacher there is!
Class was alright overall. He has a certain way he wants things done so get prepared on getting lectured over the use of technology.
It was okay.
I liked the class.
He is overall a great professor but needs to get his stuff organized.
Out of all english teachers I've had, Mr. Keating is one of the most unique teachers that I have encountered. His way of thinking surpasses the masses and is very engaged into his students.
Mr. Keating's lectures are phenomenal as long as the class as a whole pays attention.
A master of his craft, and an Enlightening Teacher. He's pretty chill and laid back however this is not the case when it comes to getting the work done.
He's okay
Keating is an awesome teacher , gives interesting lectures , and engages the class well. Homework is varied and textbook is required.
Lectures have made me question my very existence & what time really is. Overall great teacher.
Great teacher.
Keating is a great teacher always asking if someone needs help, he makes sure that everyone understands the concept that is being taught. He also makes poems and stories great and fun he is not another boring teacher.
Mr. Keating's class is not very difficult, but you will have to do a good amount of homework.
Mr. Keating is an amazing teacher. His lectures are really interesting and good that it makes one not want to skip class.
Mr. Keating gives lectures that are linked to morals. Topics are focused on readings, but he makes the class interesting and enjoyable. His form of teaching leaves a inspirational effect to apply in daily life.
Socially demanding class. Student must be willing to be open to others and work together as groups.
Very interesting course.
Mr. Keating is a great Professor. He lectures very heavy in the class and you actually learn, he goes through everything with us, however he lets us know what he needs done and what he expects in his students.
Really good teacher, wont find many like this.
Good teacher, but a lot of writing and few solid lectures. Requires a lot of outside reading and writing.
Mr. Keating is the professor that is always there to help you but you have to be the one to look for him. He was great life lesson to share. In his course, we all get the chance to share our experiences and life lessons we have been through. This should be everyone's favorite course!
This course was a great experience. 10/10. Fantastic to say the least. Treated us in a well manner and was greatly appreciated. Definitely bringing the kids back this summer.
Makes you think, great proff
Mr. Keating often helped the students when they had a question about any part of the subject. In addition, Mr. Keating made the reading criteria more understandable by opening our minds to the literature.
10/10 GG Eazy Pz class
He's and OK teacher.
Mr. Keating is a great teacher
Mr. Keating is a great teacher, he takes time with his lectures in order to be able to understand him better.
It's quite the interesting class, enjoyable at all times.
You always know what you will do or learn because of the online website. It's best not to be absent.
The conversations get deep. However, he is a very helpful man who expresses concern in his students in his own way.
In this classroom, we always have to be prepared to read. Also, he will call on you if you don't participate that way he can get everyone's participation.
Mr. Keating is great at helping students think outside the box and use their minds to create their own opinions by guiding them and teaching them how to make the best out of everyday. Carpe Diem!
Mr. Keating's class is enjoyable.
lectures were a unique experience
makes you think about life
Mr. Keating is a very interesting teacher, especially during his lectures.
He is a great English teacher!
Hes good at teaching
His way of teaching is really inspirational
Mr. Keating is an outstanding professor. He teaches us that language is more than just words themselves but a great deal of emotion. He gives lectures that make you think more about what the story was referring to. He gave us s deeper understanding of what we are learning. He makes the class very enjoyable and i would take this professor again.
Mr. Keating is very into the subject, explains very well, causes real life emotions, and gives vivid images.
The class was well taught and we often had interesting class discussions as well as we were able to voice our opinions and thoughts in the lecture. Our professor kept the class open minded in order for us to think outside of the box with the several pieces of literature that we went over in the class.
His lectures were a unique experience
In the past four months of taking Mr. Keatings class I have gained some valuable information about his teaching styles and his passion for this subject. In most cases he looks for ways to better enhance his teaching skills and aid any student who is struggling or simply wants to know more, encouraging us to think for ourselves.
Mr. Keating has a wonderful way of teaching and I enjoy his class very much.
This professors class is as first difficult, but students can adapt quickly. Students will learn how literature affects culture and the way we think about the world
Mr. Keating is an outstanding professor; he guides us, the students, efficiently throughout his class and the class material.
Mr. Keating has helped many of us develop a love to the subject. He has inspired me to think above average and work harder to achieve a better grade and understanding.
Mr. Keating gives outstanding lectures for every class. He really makes you think outside the box to understand the content. Not only did he make me a better critical thinker but also improved my writing skills.
very wise man
Mr. Keating was one of the greatest English Professors ever! Definitely recommend!
Mr. Keating is a unique teacher, he is very wise and respected man.
He is very knowledgeable in almost every topic you can think of and he's very considering of your point of view. He likes to push you to achieve more and not settle for less. Whenever you need a helping hand or you need to talk about certain things he will help. I definitely recommend Mr. Keating and I would be glad to be in his class again!
Definitely one of the best, unique and wise professors I've come across throughout all these years. I would recommend anyone who is looking for a good English Literature class to take his. You won't regret it.
Great professor!
overall he's a great teacher and likes to help you with all your concerns.
Mr. Keating is a very wise man.. always giving us the strength to finish this year strong. I've learned so much from him he has taught us to think in many different ways and see other points of views. I would choose Mr. Keating as my teacher again not only is he seen as a teacher but a human being who wants the best for us.
Mr. Keating is an excellent teacher. I enjoy the class discussion we have. He's very passionate about English and I legitimately learn something new everyday. I now see the world in a different and better way, thanks to Mr. Keatings class. He's a great teacher that truly cares about his students. I would highly recommend him!
Mr. Keating is the best teacher always giving great lectures about English literature. Mr. Keating is my FAVORITE teacher EVER!
He is the best doing the best and he always teach us something different everyday
Mr. Keating is a great professor. Every lecture we have it's not just about analyzing literature but it's also about using our imagination and allowing ourselves to think different, he also helps us to integrate different topics that allow us to open our minds and during class time he tries to encourage everyone of the students to participate.
Mr. Keating is a very inspirational teacher who makes students learn about English literature. He is always available to help his students with anything that they might need, he is a very good teacher.
The class prepares you for analyzing much more than just literary works.
Right off the bat, Mr. Keating displayed good material substance in his lectures. Get ready to read and think critically throughout the year.
Going into Mr. Keatings class, i wasn't utterly sure of what I could expect from him. The first weeks were definitely a burden to go through, with all the essays and tests handed to us I wasnt sure id be able to pass it. However, Mr. Keating truly helped me find my potential and helped me pass his class and developed my writing skills.
Keating. So much can be said about him. I think how you feel about him depends on your political views. However, even if you don't agree with him, he doesn't hold that against you. He's pretty understanding and will let you retake quizzes and stuff for full credit. Overall I'd say he was a teacher I will remember forever.
Mr. Keating allowed for myself and others to gain a deeper knowledge and point of view on multiple topics. Allowing for ones creativity and intellectual attributes to shine through.
Mr. Keating's class was always filled with unique, inspirational discussions and lectures. I learned more about myself in his class than I have anywhere else in 18 years. Keating pushes you to think outside the box and always ask "Why?" It is because of his teaching that I leave high school with a strong sense of who I am and where my passion lies.
Mr. Keating is a respectable teacher who cares about his students. His class is not easy, because he doesn't like for us to depend on him but to open our minds and see things more than what they are. Critical thinking is the key to do well in his class. This class was one of the best classes my senior year due to the great discussions.
As a teacher, Keating puts his all into teaching, he stops at nothing to make sure students understand the material at hand. As a person, he's like anyone else and has his own personal opinions about life topics (religion, politics, etc.). He isn't afraid to share and doesn't judge if you choose to. He also gives a lot of extra credit as well.
Throughout my life i have never encountered such a refined and respectful professor who was willing to help me to strive for more.
Wonderful teacher, the only reason why you would fail his class is because you didn't try or you didn't put in any effort
Mr. Keating not only teaches us English literature, but allows us to think critically and for ourselves when discussing a certain topic during lectures. His teaching style helps students to analyze and understand literature.
The lectures are interesting, make us analyze and think for ourselves, and prompt us to defend our arguments thoroughly / have better arguments.
Mr. Keating is a teacher that helps students expand their thinking and motivates them to think for themselves. He teaches you to read in between the lines and to believes that not everything is black and white. He is not trying to change your beliefs, he is trying to get you to believe for yourself.
Mr. Keating is a great professor that makes you think for yourself as well as always have a voice.
Well informed teacher .
In this class learned to better grammar, but also spoke about topics that weren't related to school. Mind was constantly shocked, this is a class you should take.
A very wise professor, his lectures are very interesting. "Don't lose your sense of wonder"- Keating
"Don't lose your sense of wonder" - A. Keating CARPE DIEM
Profound thinker and astonishing mentor. Cares more about actually teaching his students rather than just wanting to sound smart.
Mr. Keating was an amazing teacher, like no other I have encountered before. He presents the facts hidden in the texts and made me think critically inside, and outside of class. I would definitely recommend Mr. Keating. And I would retake his class again.
Made you think a lot. He's good for teaching about english and teaching about life. He's a teacher everyone needs at least one of, definitely would recommend.
Mr. Keating is a great teacher. He dwells into every lesson and goes into detail for almost every poem or story that we read in class. He helps bring a sense of wonder into the students mind as he actually teaches a new sense of how to view the world.
There hasn't been a day that Keating hasn't amazed me. He teaches you more than just English.
Mr. Keating is the type of professor that will utilize literature in a way that appeals to people that aren't into old literature. His lectures are intriguing and eye-opening when it comes to analyzing the literature we're currently working on or even whatever topics he introduces.
Mr. Keating gives great lectures and analyzes in depth all reading materials during class. He also well prepares you for exams and gives you extra-credit opportunities.
Overall Keating is a great teacher. If you have questions over how to strengthen your essay or just improve it in general hes there for you no problem. 10/10 would take his class had amazing intriguing discussions and improved my writing in just a few weeks. casey charles
Mr. Keating is one good of a teacher. His class has helped me be a better writer as well as being on top of all my classes. If i would have the chance to have him again as a teacher in the future i would definitely choose him.
Mr. Keatings class was amazing and eye opening. The class taught me critical thinking,rhetoric,and how to have an open view. he even took his time to record hes lecture on YouTube just in case you didn't get it the first time. He was always able to meat up to work out problems you had in the class. I am honored to have had him as a teache. Ivan Tey
Mr keating is the best teacher I have had throughout my schooling. He has pushed me academically to do my best in everything I do. He has taught me how to be a critical thinker in any given situation. This has allowed me to better my rhetorical essay and help me stay objective in my writing. I would recommend as a professor. Francisco Castillo 3rdA
He had the best stories in the world and they always had a meaning .
During the time when we were at Mr. Keating's , he has teach us about many things during the first semester, he explained us about different types of writing and how it works, also he gave us some advice about how to be a good writer and to structure it. The most important part is that we had many discussions about many topics that is today.
Keating has always showed respect to us and we all respected his class and has taught us many tips of how to write an essay and how to do rhetorically analysis.
In Mr. Keatings' classroom, we learned about critical thinking and types of writing which helped me understand how to analyze and interpret essays and articles we read during the semester. Keating taught me how to identify ethos, pathos, and logos in articles, and he also had us do Socratic seminars which made us discuss the topic. Felix Hernandez
Mr. Keating is an amazing teacher and has taught me to think critically about all situations, and to always be open minded. He has also taught me how to successfully analyze and breakdown stories to my own understanding. He gave advice and tips on how to become a better writer and to improve on things we can fix.

From learning Compostion 1 to learning about the real world, Mr. Keating has taught us about everything I mean everything. Not only did he teach us what he was supposed to but beyond that. Teachers never want to talk about anything besides there subject of teaching but in the other hand Mr. Keating actually cared to inform us about it. AlvaO 2B
Mr. Keating is a really good inspirational teacher. He really did understand his students and also use texts that would catch the students attention that would deal with real world problems.
In Mr. Keating's 3B class we learned to read with and against the grain, organizational skills, time management and he has prepared us for the real world with asking us to put together a portfolio to put all of our work together. He is an amazing teacher that really cares about your grade and he prepares us for college. Roman Medina
Mr. Keating is a unique teacher, there is never a day in his class where you aren't learning something new. He taught many concepts in a short period of time and made sure his students understood them well. He always gave good feedback to help us improve our writing and always did his best to inspire his students to strive to do more.
he is an amazing teacher! I have never enjoyed my English course the way I have with him.
He was and is an amazing teacher helps us not only in school but any problem we have cares for us and worries. He shows he is here for the students not just for the pay check. One of the Best teacher I have ever had.
He was amazing when he was at Texas Southmost College. I was so disappointed that he was no longer there the semester after I took him. I wanted to take him again :-( That school doesn't know how to keep the best around. So happy to be away at A&M now.
Mr. Keating is a very intelligent teacher. Being in his class has taught me a lot about not only the subject, but about real life situations as well. I would love to have him as my professor again for another course.
Great teacher, very knowledgeable, gave great feedback on essays
Mr. Keating is such a wonderful professor, if you ever get the chance to talk to him do it. He is such a good kind person. I am very thankful for him to be my last English professor and the best from all my high school English teachers.
He has very clear grading criteria and is on top of grading the work that is assigned as soon as its due. Hes a great professor and I would definitely take his class again.
Mr. Keating is a great teacher from what I got to see. He was very knowledgeable about the topics we learned and made participating during class easy.
He's an amazing teacher that teaches students how to write for the future.
This professor was knowledgeable in each topic and provided great examples to bring clarity to his students.
In Mr. Keatings Composition 1 class I have genuinely learned many things that have served to enhance me into a more literate person. To be completely honest, I have never really had a teacher that could speak so profoundly and logically of something as much as Mr. Keating. I can confidently say that Mr. Keating is a heck of a kind teacher.
Mr. Keating was a great professor, he interacted with the class and made sure everyone felt comfortable. He wasn't afraid of students having different views than he did and always made sure to listened. Gave good feedback on homework that was assigned, definitely improved my writing skills.
Learned many things from this professor and he had a lot of motivation to give to the class.
Keating is a great teacher for always checking his emails and returning a message for any class related issues or assignments. Also Keating knows what he is talking about for his lectures. Keatings lectures are intriguing and well though out for the lessons.
Mr. Keating's class was an interesting experience. Not only did he cover the topics in the exams, the work he assigned was easy, if you paid attention in class, and his assigned readings were actually interesting. He is an understanding and considerate instructor, and I would retake his class in a heartbeat.
Throughout the year Mr. Keating was a very good instructor. He made sure to go through all of the topics and also used many different types of activities to help his students learn. For example, he did Socratic Seminars for those students who learn by hearing, also projects, like posters, for those who are more creative, and so on.
My course review for this year in English 2 was about learning good writing can vary from closed to open forms. Good writers address problems rather than topics. Good writers think about purpose audience and genre. Good writers must wallow in complexity. A strong thesis surprises readers with something new. an introduction starts with the problem,
I didn't mind being in the class. I came half of the semester then left but the class was over all easy but i had personal issues that made me have a difficult time for myself but if i wouldn't have left i would've been able to do finish the course with good grades
He's a good teacher a great philosopher and gives out his opinions on things are happening around the world.
Throughout the school year in Mr. Keatings class was mainly easy. All you had to do was pay attention in his class and make sure to do your assignments. The assignments he assigned weren't very hard, you just had to make sure you turned it in on time. He was a great instructor who also made sure we engaged with peers to learn a thing or two.
Mr. Keating is a very wise teacher who understands his craft very well. He's very well versed in how to instruct a class and is very familiar with what he teaches. Mr. Keating has yet to let me down with an uninteresting class and (if it were an option) I would definitely take his class again.
Mr. keating is a good teacher and also a good philosopher, he haves many ideas of many interesting topics, also have really good theories of how many things work in the main life
Great teacher that makes you talk and actually makes your brain think and analyze things like you had never done .
Mr. Keating is a good teacher that helps with critical thinking and opens the mind to more ideas and angles of vision. In the class, i learned many new things about life and whats more important to focus on. It has helped me analyze things that i wouldn't normally focus on.
Mr. Keating is a teacher who goes beyond the call of duty. He takes time out of his schedule, and day to make sure that you understand the materials he has lectured in class so you can become a better rhetorical writer. His teaching method is clear, and concise that delivers the topic at hand to you with easy.
When I first entered the classroom I thought Mr. Keating was going to be a strict, closed minded teacher but as I got to know him he was the complete opposite. Mr. Keating made me open my mind to many topics and always made me want to know more about anything he talked about.
At the beginning of the year I thought Mr Keating's class would be boring and that I would spend most of my time sleeping through it. I was dead wrong. Mr Keating gave lectures that captured your attention, and really made you think. He is for sure one of my favorite teachers ever. The writing in his class is tough but it's always very interesting.
He is a special teacher because he has a way of approaching a student's heart. He is the most wise person I've spoke to. He influenced my life for good by giving me very good advises. He is unique, comprehensive, and he would put the hands on the fire for his students. He enlighten every single student including me. Thank you Mr. Keating.
This class was full of learning experiences, from style and document design and autobiographical narratives to rhetorical analysis and classical argument essays. There is never a moment when you are not learning anything new. Mr. Keating always makes sure that you understand the topic and is always open to discussing the topic further.
I expected this class to be one of my least favorites due to some opinions that I had heard way before coming here. I challenged myself to choose Mr. Keating as my english teacher but let me tell you it was not bad at all. His lectures where always clear and consistent, i mean his knowledge amazed me.. it made me want to learn more in depth.
I didn't expect much from English teachers in my school since it's not specialized in that category but I was shocked at how complex and in depth his lectures were and not only that but the conversations sparked inside the classroom were always intriguing and fun. Easy class if you do your work diligently & pay attention, I learned a lot from him.
