Very fair professor, exams based on lectures, and you get a cheat sheet! Good fella'
He is a very good teacher, I highly recommend him. He makes the material very interesting and unique. Pleasure all around.
Excellent Instructor!!! I would recommend his class to everyone. He is a great person too.
Great class, lectures were fun and interesting. Very likable person and easy to work with when you need help. Highly reccommend his B-law class
This guy made the business law class the most interesting class i ever had. Lots of real life examples, interesting projects and easy exams. Perfect teacher.
He's the best teacher at Grant MacEwan. He actually makes you want to go to class in the morning and makes the material interesting. He's hilarious too.
Probably the best Business Law instructor on campus. Makes topics easy to understand and only tests whats taught in the lectures. One class you can't get bored of!
Top 5 teachers ive ever had including my pre-university years. Important to come to class, but that shouldnt be a problem because he makes class interesting. Test are a little tricky, but not hard at all. He allows a cheat sheet too.
Great teacher, funny, interesting and just plain fun to go to his class. Exams are somewhat tricky since they are not just knowing the material, but actually applying it. Another note, you may want to pass on the textbook because everything is covered during lectures and you'll more than likely never touch it. Overall a must have professor.
Best prof I've had to date. I had a late afternoon class but it never occurred to me to skip, even on Fridays because the class was always interesting and linked to something relevant.
He is halarious. keeps you entertained while teaching all the material. A very personal class, he gets to know your names and is really helpful. Does tons of examples with his notes to make sure you understand the concepts. The tests were basicly all of of his notes, and were fair. This became my favorite class very easily.
Best teacher ever
Great teacher, easy to follow notes and as long as you go to class you can get anything lower than a B. And he like Entourage. Anyone who likes Entourage is legit in my books.
He is really funny. Makes the class interesting. Attendance is a must, though.
He's a beauty. Funny in class, does a great job teaching, and is very personal with students. You need to go to class though, he doesn't use the text at all. His tests are great because he lets you bring in a cheat sheet that you can fill out top to bottom front and back.
Brian is an awesome teacher. He's really funny and his examples are perfect to help you understand concepts. He really seems to care about how well his students do. He allows a cheat sheet for each exam and I was able to get all my notes on the cheat sheet, but make sure you also fully understand how to apply the concepts. Take his class if you can
Great guy who will take the time to learn your name and get real personal with the class using real-life examples. Always something to laugh about, which makes it a really easy learning environment. Tests were easy and based on notes
Brian is an amazing prof! Probably my favorite in all of MacEwan! He makes everything in bus law SO interesting, and uses real life case studies to explain things. He is absolutely hilarious and is so devoted to his students. He wants everyone to succeed in his class.
Brian is the best proff ever! He is knowledgeable, caring, super friendly and has a great sense of humour.I thought Law would be boring, and he made it SO interesting. YOU MUST ATTEND CLASS, b/c his notes are all you will need for exams, which are lectured based ie he talks, you write and draw his hilarious pictures to remember. Exams are fair!
Brian is a fantastic prof! He is very personable, and makes the class interesting. I thought it was all going to be dull and painful, but he actually interacts with the class, and has funny, but related things to say. His exams are fair, since they're based on his lectures - no searching through textbooks required!
Brian Keller is an excellent teacher and a great guy, he's easygoing and approachable. He used to be a lawyer, so he knows his stuff! His exams are fair, and his teaching is very easy to follow, he never talks over your head. Gives great practical examples so that you really understand the concepts. I would most definitely have him as a prof again.
Best teacher I've ever had so far in my life. I feel privileged to be in his class. He makes everything so clear and gets to know everyone's name. Your notes will not be words though. They will be mostly awesome drawings haha.
Excellent prof, Very funny and engaging.
HE IS AWESOME. TAKE HIS CLASS.
Best Prof ive ever had. Must attend lectures or you will be lost on his exams. Definatly know what he is talking about and does not use powerpoint instead uses real life applications. If you take LEGL 210 and don't want to be bored go with Brian!
He is so clear and interesting. Just study his notes before a test and you're good to go. I learned soooo much and his class is actually pleasant to got to.
He is honestly the best prof I have ever had. He made coming to class interesting and uses examples to illustrate nearly every concept. He makes all the concepts clear and is willing to help you after class or through email. His tests are fair and he is just a great prof! I would definitely recommend taking his class!
Clearly a beauty
Hands-down one of the best professors I've ever had. His enthusiasm and passion for teaching really shows. Attendance is MANDATORY- topics covered in lectures are what appear on exams. Don't be fooled though, as multiple choice questions on exams are tricky. I recommend skimming through chapters to get a better understanding of the material.
Great guy! Former lawyer, knows his stuff and uses his extensive experience to illustrate every principle. Loves to talk with his students. Must attend class & take detailed notes! 2 pages cheat sheets allowed and you will need them as questions can be tricky. You definitely need to understand the idea behind it! Got an A, but studied a lot for it.
He is an awesome prof, I had him last semester an he made every class really interesting. He loves to draw pictures but they help clarify everything. Take this prof at at means
Brian is my favorite instructor in University. He is so funny, and such a kind helpful person. The way he teaches and engages the class has provided me with confidence, especially when he is so eager to answer my questions. He makes a potentially boring area of law so interesting because of his hilarious personality.
My favorite professor of all time! He needs a lifetime achievement award for outstanding academic instructing or somethin.Its a tragedy that I only got to take one class with him.. Nicest/funniest guy you will meet in your university experience. His drawings are legendary.
Brian is the best! His class is so entertaining. I would actually look forward to his class in the morning because his humor and drawings would wake me up! I can't say enough great things about this guy! Yay Brian!
Brian is awesome, I switched from a better class time just to be in his class! His drawings are helpful, and he calls on people to make sure everyone gets it. If you want to be called on, sit in the back. He's hilarious and easy to talk to, take class with Brian!
Best teacher and he gets you involved. He makes class very enjoyable and teaches very clear! The only thing that sucks is the online quizzes where you have to go through the textbook.
Brian is the best LEGL prof I've had.. He makes boring aspects of the class somewhat entertaining so everyone gets involved. I disliked LEGL210 so i was apprehensive in taking 315 but luckily I got Brian as a prof and now im very interest in pursuing law.
if you attend class you should automatically get an B at least. One of the best profs ive ever had
Great LEGL prof! Magically turns a subject material that is boring into something that is interesting. Definitely need to attend class to keep up with notes.
Best class I have had thus far. It is my 2nd year. I came into this class, thinking it was going to be hard. Yet, the way Brian taught made the subjects easy and crystal clear. He used drawings and examples to reinforce the subject. I'm going into the final with a good chance of getting a A. Tip for success is read the book on the subjects taught.
By far the best prof I've had at Macewan so far highly recommended. Classes are always entertaining which is good cause he does not use the book at all.
I never thought I could understand and remember the law until I took this class. It was interesting, clear, and most of all, useful.
He is an excellent professor. I enjoy each of his classes and he is my favorite professor in my post-secondary experience. If you go to class and listen, you should do well. Enjoy his teaching.
I can't say enough about Brian. He's the best prof I've ever had. He's so funny and makes the course content so interesting. A definite must have prof!
Great professor, he's so passionate when he teaches that the class is entertaining. He doesn't go out of the textbook, everything he teaches in class is relevant and tested. He makes tough tests but nothing is a surprise if you go to the classes. He wants you to succeed.
Brian Keller, simply the best law professor at MacEwan. He makes this dry class EXTREMELY enjoyable, enough to actually look forward to his lectures. Easy midterms and finals, just study the notes from class. Attendance is MANDATORY, because he doesn't post them to blackboard. Re-arrange your schedule to get him.
Awesome prof! If you're taking LEGL, be sure you get Brian. He makes everything so entertaining and easy to remember. His midterms are kind of hard, but he lets you take in a cheat sheet so just make sure you have a good understanding of the information. One of the best profs hands down.
Definitely makes the class entertaining. Definitely recommend this prof to anyone, you will not be disappointed.
Brian Keller was one of the best teachers i've ever had. He's hilarious and connects with the students. He makes an effort and loves what he teaches. It was because of this class that made me want to continue on to law school. With the midterms and papers, make sure you're clear and concise, or else your mark will reflect. overall awesome class!
I had him at a 5-6 class, which i had not choice but to take his class. Right after the first class i felt in love with his teacher style. Even though the class is at 5, yet no one really skip. The class is nearly full everyday. If you go to every class and write down notes, you will pass for sure without any studying.
AWESOME PROF! Brian is an awesome prof who really explains examples in a way you can remember. Attendance is crucial he tests based on his lectures not the textbook. Textbook is needed only for weekly quizzes. If you can get Brian as a prof you're in luck awesome prof and in general a really nice guy!
Brian is the best prof I have ever had. Really wants his students to do good, and really tries to be fair when marking. Make sure to go to class or you'll fail. Highly recommend taking his class if you are interested in law.
Super Awesome prof, lets you bring a cheat sheet to exams and is hilarious in class. online quizzes are based off the text book but otherwise all his exams focus in in class material
One of the best lecturers at Macewan. He makes dry topics interesting. Tests are difficult but fair. Attendance is a must since he does not put notes online. Great professor would highly recommend
Great Prof! Loved every lecture.. Brian Keller is the man!! Assignments are easy marks... Exams are difficult and challenging. You must go to class.
Brian's class was one of my most enjoyable. His lectures are very clear and make the material easy to understand. His tests are funny but will challenge you, especially if you miss class.
Brian is the best Law prof I've had at MacEwan. He's hilarious, uses pictures, words, skits and jokes to engage the class and likes to have discussion during lectures. He really keeps the class interested and the same with the material. If you are going to take any law course, take it with Brian!
Brian was a really great law professor. Although I had an 8am BLAW class with him, i actually looked forward to going to going to his class. Make sure you attend ALL of his classes because his exams are based off of his lectures and the examples he gives in class. His exams are tricky but he's a excellent prof. 10/10 recommend.
Hilarious prof! I highly recommend Brian. Great guy, easy marker and clear to understand. Lets you take a cheat sheet into exams that are straight forward an easy 90-100% if you attend all lectures since his exams are taken straight from class notes so you must attend lectures, however lectures are extremely entertaining and funny!
Brian is the BOMB. He is hilarious and his lectures are intriguing. Brian's exams are based fully off of what he says in class don't miss a class. You don't need the textbook because he doesn't base anything off of it. I would take a class with Brian again in a heartbeat. He marks fairly and responds to emails very fast. Going to miss this class.
Brian is a wonderful teacher, I've had him for two courses now and strongly recommend him to anyone taking LEGL courses at Macewan. He knows the material very well and has a great sense of humour.
Loved Brian! He made my 8am lectures interesting and easy to stay awake in. You need to go to his class as he doesn't post any of his notes and those are what you're tested on for the most part. Will definitely take him again.
Great professor. His sense of humour makes classes very enjoyable. Would definitely take again!
The best teacher ever
Brian Keller is a must-take prof. If you have to take a legal class such as 210 you have to take it with him. Does not use powerpoints just board notes. Show up and listen you will do great in his class.
Brian is a great professor, a great guy and very funny. His tests in 315 are much harder than 200 level, so if you want to do really well copy down everything he says in class ESPECIALLY the examples he talks about as these are on the tests in some form. Great class, he made the content very interesting.
The best... attendance matters since there's no textbook. chillest prof
Great prof. If you have the option choose him as soon as possible you'll be glad you did.
Amazing prof! Best I've ever had during my academic career. Would 110% take his class again.
Personally, Brain was an amazing guy. He does not post notes so attendance is absolutely necessary. He is very funny and gets to know each of his student's names. As well, he uses many real life examples to demonstrate course content. You are allowed to take a double sided cheat sheet into the exam, however, these tests are quite difficult!
Brian was easily one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures are very entertaining and he makes sure to explain everything he goes over. While attendance was not mandatory, you do have to take all of your own notes. If you have a choice to take his class, do not hesitate.
Best professor at macewan, legal 210 was my favourite class because of him, just a great guy
This is my favorite Prof i have ever had. Hes a Genuinely great guy and great teacher. Wish i could take more classes with him. He teaches in an engaging way, a rare trait for a university prof.
If anybody is taking LEGL 210, Definitely take Brian, you cannot go wrong with him! His class is still my most favorite class in all my years at MacEwan. Like I was actually eager to attend his lectures (which is mandatory to pass). He is just an amazing professor, and overall a swell guy because he remembers all his students. Plus, he is hilarious
All of the other reviews say it; great professor, super funny, learns your name, explains everything very clearly with many many examples. Allows a notes sheet in exams but they are tough, you'll likely do much better on quizzes and assignments than exams. You need to show up to class to take notes but you will look forward to it.
Brian is one of the best profs at MacEwan. He is so funny, gets to know each student, and his lectures are very interesting and fun to attend. You will look forward to going to his class. Highly recommend Brian you wont regret taking him.
Brian is the best Prof/ Teacher I have ever had. Memorizes everyone's names, classes are mandatory but also fun, he keep his class the most entertaining that you have probably. Extremely nice and very funny, only 2 papers, first one is automatic 100% if you do it, the last assignment is hard but he is an easy marker. You will not regret it.
By far my favourite professor from university so far. He's hilarious and explains the course and what is expected very well. I would 10/10 recommend him for anyone taking legl 210. His tests are very fair, and his lectures are enjoyable.
He is the best prof I have met . Amazing lecture, and he is a kind and interesting guy. I highly recommended you guys to take business law with him!!!
Amazing professor! You can tell that he love what he do and cares about his students.
brian is best
Brian is the best! It was a fantastic Spring class with him. All you need is to attend his class and you'll do well or pass for sure. Knowledgeable with the matter he teaches and cares for his students.
By far the best teacher I have had at Macewan!!!
Absolutely fantastic instructor! Excellent delivery and very descriptive, which certainly lends to a solid understanding of the material. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Keller's legal knowledge, experience and his skill as an instructor. He has a fantastic sense of humor and encourages/builds confidence in his students. Highly recommend!!
Good Prof...
Good prof, classes are fun and engaging. his tests are are based off the class examples he uses. I never bought the textbook and found the class fine along as you go to every class. allowed a cheat sheet for midterms and finals. isn't helpful if you email him but, very helpful if you go see him during class or office hours. Amazing prof
Overall as a professor Mr. Keller was excellent at his lectures, he really explained things and was quite funny. However, if you did not attend every class it is very easy to not do as well. He doesn't put any lectures on blackboard & relies on in class teaching. I found his exams to be pretty hard & more scenario based so be prepared
I found Brian to be an amazing prof for B-law; every concept we went through in class was gone through in depth and with many examples. The court assignment was an easy 5% boost to overall mark. I found the exams to be quite difficult, but if you go through your notes everyday and do the questions to guide you he posts online, you should be good.
Amazing prof- very funny and knowledgeable. He gives many examples in class and only tests on things he has taught; however tests can be tricky! Review your notes constantly & do the questions to guide you. I always thought I knew the content but would make silly mistakes on the exam and there isn't much room for error. Awesome guy but hard class
Brian is one of the best rated professors at Macewan for a reason. He is funny, and nice, and a great teacher. He uses huge amounts of examples to ensure you understand every concept, exams and assignments are good if you attend all classes. I have taken two of his classes and would definitely take more. Don't need textbook, exams are open book.
Great guy
Brian is awesome. huge beauty. just show up to class and listen to him. he uses people in the class for examples which made things entertaining and easy to understand. hes so funny, and literally responds to emails in 2 minutes. didn't use textbook even once. for my class we got cheat sheets for every exam. he does have a no phone policy tho
Brian is a great prof, but like most you have to put the effort in. In order to really understand you need to read the text and attend class. Your primary grades are from the midterm and exam. His exams are not easy, so study hard. If you put in the effort youll be fine. Casual and funny guy!
Brian's class was by far the most interesting and engaging class ive ever taken. He teaches by using scenarios and examples which makes everything easier to follow. Helps that he has a great sense of humour and incorporates it into every class. Highly recommend his class
Brian is a great guy . His lectures are mandatory because he doesnt post any notes at all on blackboard . Didnt really use the text book , except for 4 online quizzes that had random question from the textbook . One legal paper and group presentation
Brian has been the most effective professor I have had yet. He doesn't post notes so you have to go to class but he teaches and explains things very clearly. I found most learning happened in class. He gets the class involved and the content is really interesting. You can take a cheat sheet into tests but Qs are scenarios, read carefully.
Hilarious and always cracking jokes. His midterms were a blast because every question was a joke or reference. His exams are tough but you get a cheat sheet. There's a massive paper and presentation. The paper is tough and he grades it quite harshly but the presentation is very casual and light. Changed my minor to business law bc of him! Great guy
Brian is the BEST prof at Macewan. He makes every lecture fun and gives the best examples. you can tell he really cares for his students. He learns all his students names and is very engaging. If you can take his class, take It!!!!! trust me you won't regret it.
Great teacher. Every dat that I showed up to class I learned something new and interesting. Never a boring class. Do participate. He tries to be relevant and does his best to connect with us. He generally cares about his students. I would take this class again in a heart beat.
Keller is super easy to listen to. His lectures are always interesting, even when the course content is not. He handwrites all of his notes (there are no powerpoints), so you really need to go to class. The "quickest" 50-minute class I've had. Also - I bought the textbook but did not use it.
Such a good professor. Would highly recommend any of his classes. Tests are based off of lectures, as long as you go to class you will do well.
Oh man Brian... this guy is the best Prof I could have asked for to take Legal with. He makes all the lectures interactive and fun to attend. He tells stories and examples for the subject matter we are learning making it easy to grasp. Also, Hilarious. If being a lawyer or Instructor doesn't work out, could easily be a stand-up comedian.
Brian is such a standup guy. One of the best at MacEwan for sure. Super chill and understanding, always willing to accommodate and explain stuff. Only downside is he doesn't post any notes online, so you can't afford to miss class. He makes his lectures interesting and funny though!
If you are looking for an easy A, this is not the class. His exams are very difficult. He is a great professor, and his class is interesting and exciting! However,
Brian is an amazing prof, if you don't come to class you WONT pass. he's really funny and engaging. time flies in his class. there are 2 midterm a final, a legal memo assignment, and a courthouse report. not stressful all. he allows cheatsheet for the exams so that makes things a lot less stressful. Fairly easy marker. won't regret taking his class
Brian is a great guy. He genuinely cares for his students and is always willing to help you succeed. Lectures are very interesting and you get a cheat sheet for the midterms and final. However, his exams are a bit tricky.
Brian is an amazing professor and I would highly recommend him to everyone! He is really funny and definitely inspired me to pursue law. Although you are allowed a cheat sheet for your midterms and final exams, I still found his exams to be very tricky. Make sure you show up to class, participate and I guarantee that you will have a great time!
Brain is by far the best professor I've had. BUSN 201 stressed me out before I took the class because I'm not a fan of law; however, Brain made the class so much fun and interesting I found myself wanting to take another law class. He does call people out to answer questions, so make sure you listen carefully in each lecture.
Brian is probably the nicest and funniest prof you will have at MacEwan. Great guy and always enjoyed going to his classes. Cares about his students and takes the time to learn everyones name and a little bit about them.
Brian is an amazing prof! He was really helpful whenever asked for any kind of help and he made the transition to online learning super easy. I am so upset that we didn't get to finish the semester in class as he always had me laughing, smiling and that helped me to remember content. He truly makes learning fun!
I have taken three of his LEGL classes (210,315,420) and I would recommend anyone of them. He is not the easiest grader, I have had better grades with other LEGL professors at MacEwan but his classes are worth it.
One of my favorite professors! He classes were engaging and he gave great examples that made the class more enjoyable. Class consists of two midterms, a court report, a memo, and a final exam (he altered the schedule well due to classes being moved online). Do yourself a favor and take his class. You won't regret it!
Keller is the best legal prof at MacEwan. Open honest and caring for all his students. Intellectual property law is Brian's area of expertise and it shows in the passion he puts into this class. If you have ever taken Legal 315 with him this class is identical in structure.
Brian Keller is an amazing professor. It's Covid 2020 and the notes and online videos he made himself for us (going the extra mile for his students). The online notes are SUPER down to earth and it feels just like he's talking to me and his online lectures are never boring. He grades his student fairly so just do some studying and you be fine.
I have had Keller in person, and now online, and I can honestly say that you are getting nearly the exact same quality of teaching from him! He has created his own, super in-depth notes, as well as having explanatory videos to go alongside the notes. Once a week he also has a live lecture to review content and answer questions. SO GOOD!
Brian is fantastic! I wish I could have taken this course in person. He provided lectures once a week based off of readings he put together himself. Three exams, curriculum journaling and a legal memo. Exam questions can be tricky, so make sure you understand the concepts. Brian is also very prompt at responding to any questions you have!
Brian is the absolute best prof!! His lectures are not boring and I love that he takes the time to create notes so no need for the textbook. Very nice guy, and very fair marker. Had 4 tests and were all straight forward and an optional legal memo which was extremely easy.
He is the goat! really cares about his students, his lectures were exciting to go to, exams very reasonable and straightforward if you did his readings!!
goat. only 2 weeks into the semester but Brian has been phenomenal!!
Brian is one of the best LEGL profs I have had at MacEwan. His lectures are entertaining and his expectations are clear. His exams are fair and his feedback is helpful. He is easily accessible over email/outside of class. I can't recommend him enough! I actually recommended him to my friend and brother who both loved him as well. 11/10
Brian Keller is the best professor I have ever had, from his engaging lectures to his self-written textbook he makes the course a ton of fun. He is always willing to help you with anything you may need. I strongly recommend taking any course from him.
Hands down one of the best profs Ive had. I had him both in-class and online and the online transition didnt affect his teaching at all. His notes and lectures are super entertaining and easy to understand. The tests can be tricky but just make sure to really read the questions properly. Very funny and inspirational; almost wanted to switch majors.
Probably my favourite class of my undergraduate degree. I love how passionate Brian is for this topic. The final paper is fun because you can pick any topic you want as long as its IP related. Attend class because he seriously makes it worth your time and I know the wait list for this class gets super long. I would 100% take this class again
I wasn't sure Business Law would be my thing but Keller definitely changed mind. He provides the reading that you have to get done and the reading matches the tests. He explains the concept with various examples in lectures but you can pass if you do the reading. He is caring and will remember your names too.
He provided readings (with short videos and audios) that covered absolutely everything in the course so a textbook wasn't needed. The exams were non-cumulative and very fair. His lectures are amazing and he made sure students online and in-person were catered to equally. Great prof and person, take him if you can, you will actually enjoy learning!
Brian made this class easy breazy - just read his notes, watch his videos. His tests are based off these and if you understand them you're good to go. 4 non-cumulative exams + optional assignment. Attendance isn't mandatory but sure helps drill the material into your brain for the exams. 10/10 would take any of his classes again!
Very funny guy. He'll remember everyones names, and use people in the class for examples for his lectures. His exams aren't too bad, however he does try and trick you on each question.
As others have said, super funny and caring teacher. It is difficult to find motivation for school during difficult times, but this prof creates a fun environment for us to learn anyway with examples for each concept. Make sure you read his notes before class and do the curriculum journaling.
Brian is thee best professor you will ever have in the legal department of Macewan - his online and in person lectures are amazing and he lays out/talks about in lectures exactly what you will need to be successful on the exams. In class discussions are very prevalent in his class and he is very encouraging. One of my favorite profs ever!
i loved Brian as a person but his grading i could never get higher then a 60 10/10 guy i just wasn't good at test taking.
Brian is probably the best prof ive ever had, his teaching methods are awesome! He's a good guy and he cares about his students! He also remembers all his students names and is really funny. Take this course.. Brian is PHENOMENAL. 10/10!!!
Brian is one of the best professors I have had at MacEwan. His lectures are the best, they are so engaging and he is hilarious. I took the course online and he went above and beyond to make the lectures entertaining by making his own drawings and videos, encouraging class participation, and overall created a great learning atmosphere.
Brian's was my favorite class of the day. He always made good little doodles along with his stories which really helped me remember. His lectures were also engaging and funny. He made class lighthearted and fun. Brian was good about making fair tests, in my opinion, that covered the topics appropriately. Would definitely recommend Brian's classes.
Brian is the best professor I've ever had. Hilarious guy that really cares about his students and wants them to do well. His lectures and notes are entertaining and he uses clear language. Clearly communicates what he's grading on, and will answer emails really quickly. If you have the chance to take him, do it! I can't recommend him enough.
Best professor in my entire university career. The final research paper for the course is worth quite a bit but you get to choose what you want to write on, and Brian was always ready to help or give guidance. I excelled far beyond what I thought I was capable of thanks to him. Will miss being his student but hope to cross paths with him again!
Professor's like Brian are truly what keeps me going. He makes complicated concepts truly feel like a walk in the park. His exams are designed to trick you BUT if you go through the readings and participate in class you will do great on them. He also makes the material light hearted with his hilarious dad jokes! Amazing prof/person.
Love this class, I would take Brian any chance get. amazing overall.
His class has been the best and most enjoyable one I've had throughout my years at university. Super fun while still staying on topic. Provides examples that relate directly to the content. Does call on students if their hands are not up, but just moves on if you don't know the answer (happened to me a few times). 100% knows what he's talking about
He was one of the best profs I ever had, if not the best. His classes were full of content and humourous jokes that would make the class enjoyable; these jokes and examples also ensured that you remembered the content for the test. His tests are a bit tricky, he uses a lot of questions that make you go crazy but you can do assignments to make up
Brian was such an amazing prof, I would recommend him for an easy A. He teaches really well and gives lots of examples in class. He's pretty funny, and he really cares about his students. His exams were pretty easy, and he always gave hints about the questions on the exams. I highly recommend taking his class, he's one of the best profs I've had.
Hmm, I really thought I would enjoy his class, but I didn't. I really didn't like the fact all our grades basically relied on the 4 exams we did which are weighted heavily and we also did not have quizzes or assignments. His exams are pretty tough, I will not lie. So far, in this class, I have had the lowest grade I have ever had.
Best prof I've had so far, he's very clear on what he expects and gives amazing examples. There are 4 exams which are pretty tough if you don't pay attention or show up to class. He gives hints in his lectures as well and really cares about his students. He makes his lectures extremely interesting and funny as well as encourages to engage in class
Hands down my favorite prof at Macewan!!! Make sure you go to every lecture class because the examples he uses might be on the exam. His lectures are also very funny and interesting that makes it easy to remember! I wish I had more classes with him
Take him for every single class he's the best
AMAZING prof. His lectures are amazing so pay attention and take notes. He makes everything very understandable. Such a nice person and if you don't understand something don't be shy to e-mail him. Very responsive.
Awesome
Brian is easily the best law prof I've ever had, he's hilarious and makes the class enjoyable and explains each concept in-depth backed by real case studies. The exams are nearly impossible to do if you don't attend class, so this is one of those classes you MUST go to. If you go you'll understand the material and he tends to give out lots of hints
He makes everyone engaged in his class and makes funny jokes. Make sure to attend his class since he gives similar scenarios that you'll see on the exams. Exams are a bit tricky, and wording sometimes can mess you up, but that's law for you. An optional legal memo assignment can help boost your mark if you perform poorly on the exams. Take him!!!!
Amazing Law Prof! Brian is a tough grader, and his exams require a bit of studying, but his lectures, character, and care toward his students make it all worth it. He is engaging and makes the material super enjoyable. I look forward to taking his other Legl classes.
Double sided cheat sheets, but easy marks when you do your homework. He allowed me to learn by reading by myself because everything he said in lectures were posted on meskenes. It was easy to read through first and then attend and listen to another way he explains it. Fair marker if you put in the work.
Brian was one of the best professor's I've had at MacEwan. His lectures were fun and I actually looked forward to going to them. and he doesn't require you to buy a textbook. His exams could be a little tricky, but were not at all unreasonable. Definitely would recommend taking this course with him.
Avoid this prof at all costs. The absolute worst.
I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH. HE MADE HIS OWN TEXTBOOK FOR US, HE TELLS US EXACTLY WHATS ON THE EXAMS. HE WANTS YOU TO DO GOOD. ANYTHIKNG YOU NEED HE IS THERE FOR YOU. BRIAN KELLER IS THE MOST AMAZING KIND CARING PROFESSOR YOU WILL EVER MEET HE SERIOUSLY CHANGED MY LIFE AND HELPED ME. HIS LECTURES ARE SO MUCH FUN AND HE RESPONDS TO EMAILS SO FAST. 10/10
Keller is the goat man best class I've ever taken so far
Absolutely incredible prof who will go above and beyond for his students. Read his tests carefully, the multiple choice is tricky. His long answers are super easy as long as you go to class - which is already worth it cause his lectures are fun. Would definitely take again.
Caring, polite, and knowledgeable prof. Lectures were entertaining, and Brian addressed each student by name. Read the textbook and attend his lectures and you'll do well. Exams are somewhat brain twisters that require you to really know your materials but not overly difficult. Fair marker and gave good feedback. One of the best prof I've had.
This guys amazing, after the first week of classes he memorized every students name in the class, he also extended the due date by a week for projects since he knew we had other classes to do. Such a great prof I wish I could take him for all my classes, exams are a little bit tricky if you don't go to class but he makes a cheat sheet for you.
awesome guy, makes his own textbooks, cheat sheets, everything we need to succeed in the class he does. I love this guy I would actually marry him if I could thats how amazing he is
Definitely recommend taking a course with the professor. He is friendly and makes it worth going to 9am classes. He had our class laughing all the time. He writes the reading material needed for class. He allows cheat sheets for all the exams and final. He also does real life examples to help students learn and he always draws on the board.
Mr Keller is the best that macewan has to offer. A professor that treats you properly. He helps you succeed and honestly cares about your success. There is a reason he has a 5/5 and any student that took him can tell you why. Organized course and clear grading criteria, cheat sheets for exams, study guides. Awesome guy deserves a raise.
An amazing prof who does everything he can to ensure everyone does well on his exams. His class consists of 4 major exams and 4 journals + an optional legal memo. By the end of the first week, he knew everyone's names and treated everyone with respect. Attending the lectures are really helpful to understanding the material.
I always looked forward to his lectures! The way he teaches and provides real examples really helps you remember and understand topics,
He's really cool!! You can tell he cares a lot about teaching. Exams were okay, he allowed us to bring an information sheet for each test. He made classes engaging.
Brian has most fun style of teaching: lots of pictures, diagrams, songs that he makes, etc. He really cares about his students and is always in a great mood when he is teaching.
One of the best profs I've had to date. Compacts each of the three units into a ~25 page reading, and the way he writes these readings makes the topic so easy to retain and understand. I almost never write reviews, but his course was so well prepared and done I had to leave a review.
Brian is so funny! His lectures are extremely meaningful and full of amazing examples of the course material. He is very passionate about what he does. He is the perfect prof to take a 3 hour class with- you'll never get bored! He makes his own materials for students to study- everything is very direct. You should take Brian!!
Brian is the best prof ive had so far in my 3 years at Macewan. explains stuff so well and puts it in his words and compares to real life examples, class was also very entertaining, I wish he taught more than just law!!!! hes the best !!!
he makes his own textbook for you to use free of charge, free marks and amazing lectures
Absolutely amazing in every aspect. I honestly believe he was sent from heaven. All exams + final were open-book. Project wasn't mandatory. Explained things in an easy way, giving easy to understand examples with every new concept. One of the best profs. in all of Macewan.
amazing professor and funny too
Brian Keller is an amazing professor who makes the material engaging and accessible. His lectures are filled with visual aids, and he genuinely cares about student success. Alongside helpful study resources like cheat sheets, Unstuck AI has been a game-changer for preparing for exams. Definitely take this class if you can!
Brian Keller is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students. He made his own textbook and made it free for all of us to study off of. His lectures are so easy to understand I literally can't say enough good things about this man.
all I can say is wow! Brian is the most caring, kind, passionate professor I have ever had. He creates his own material so you don't have to buy a textbook and it's condensed so it's all you need to study. He lectures are engaging and he really cares about his students. Best professor I have had!
Brian is an amazing instructor who genuinely cares about his students. Pay attention in class and it is an easy A
he's so awesome. he makes lectures so entertaining. just don't come to class late because he really doesn't like that. reading his own made textbooks are easy to understand and basically has everything spoken from lectures but attendance is necessary. "I promise to use swear words that your mom would never use." from his textbook. sums him up LOL
Brian is one of the best at Macewan! His lectures make learning law engaging and interesting. Attendance isnt mandatory but his exams are exactly what he teaches in class so highly recommend showing up. Writes his own textbook that he provides for each class and is always available for help and questions. Can 100% tell he wants everyone to succeed!
AWESOME TEACHER< VERY CARING AND WILL GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP succeed .
Brian was an amazing professor! His lectures were always engaging, he was super funny and had great ways of explaining the material in a way that made sense to everyone, along with visuals. His tests were fair and he made sure we were always prepared. Would 100% take any of his classes again. AMAZING PROF!
I had Brian for Legal 210, and I thought he was amazing!He was the best prof I've had thus far and it's gonna be tough to beat.The lectures that Brian gives are very easy to understand; he gives many great examples and ensures the material we need to know is laid out in a simple fashion.If you are on here looking to take a course with Brian, do it.
Brian is a super caring and down to earth Prof. I would 100% recommended him.
He made classes enjoyable and is excellent at explaining and provide examples. Would definitely recommend.
Theres a reason his nickname is Mr.Goat take his class now
Great professor, would definitely take again. He is very clear of what he is asking for. All lecture material will be tested on. Test questions are worded in a very tricky way, so read, read, read.
Brian is awesome. Definitely the most enjoyable lectures I've attended. He's great at involving the class in discussions and has a great sense of humour which kept everyone engaged and made the info easy to take in.
makes you a free textbook, easy exams, funny guy, good ah lectures. love my goat
One of the best professors i have ever had the pleasure of learning from in my four years in legal studies, ended up taking a in person course in the spring just to have him for legl 420 which was a breeze. He is also just so open and supportive of any students needs and supported me through my fear of speaking in front of others.
Brian is truly one of the best professors I've had the privilege to learn from! His classes were both enjoyable and insightful, and I always looked forward to them. He's funny, always engaging, and makes an effort to know every student by name. He further deepened my passion for law. An intelligent, kind, and awesome professor!
Brian is honestly really good at his job. Super easy to follow and everything is straightforward. As long as you show up to his class you'll do good.
If you're taking a law class, you should be taking it with Brian Keller! His lectures are hilarious and engaging. He shares examples in class that help make the concepts clear to everyone. Although the course is exam-heavy, they're non-cumulative, and you're prepared for them. He's a fantastic professor! Genuinely made me consider a minor in law.
Pretty Good guy
Very nice guy. Has been teaching this course for 20 years. His lectures are easy and entertaining. He does not allow the use of phones during class for a quirky reason. He allows cheat sheets for exams. No textbook necessary. Exams are straight forward but short. He posts exam outlines and chapter notes but is highly recommended to not miss class.
Keller was by far one of the best profs I have had. 1000% recommend. even if you dont like law this guy will make you LOVE it. he made it so fun to be in his lectures. and his midterms were all super easy as long as you do your part in showing up and studying, which isn't hard because he makes it easy to prepare for the tests.
He's one of the best professors I've ever had. He genuinely enjoys teaching and such he's such great one too. Lectures are amazing and makes law super interesting, exams are straightforward and all you have to do is show up and listen and you'll do great. Super helpful with the journals he assigns and all around super caring. Take him!!
Optimal. Take him.
