Course material is basic interaction stuff. I felt Kehoe's teaching style and demeanor were contrary to the objectives of the course material.

For a communication studies professor he sure doesn't know how to communicate well. He's mean, rude and quick-tempered. His slide show lectures are a waste of time. Instead of having him as a prof. the university should pay someone to press a button. His lecture material is not well-researched.

Uses real life examples to illustrate his lectures. He acknowledges his inability to speak slowly, which is why he provides lecture slides beforehand. Amusing, entertaining, and always has a story to tell. Breaks lecture into 3 20 minute segments so you're not too restless. Tutorials do not augment the lectures, serves to add marks for attendance.

The class is blended, so the lectures are online and virtually make you feel like you are in class. If the quality of the videos were better, they'd be perfect. Tutorials are okay, not very productive but still a good experience. I learned quite a bit, it's not a difficult course, and keeping with the lectures is probably the best way to get an A.

A lot of memorizing is required for this prof. You will have to memorize things word for word to get an A on the exam.

The professor explain into great detail the course material, in a way that not only inspires to learn more, but also allows the student to understand the material to the point where studying becomes more a review, and knowledge from the course becomes everyday knowledge. However, is important to note that the text book and attendance help as well.

Kehoe's class are great because first of all it's online, secondly the notes are provided for you and thirdly the T.A (Dagmara) goes in detail about certain topics and clarifies any question you have. One thing that is annoying is the online lecture on Youtube because sometimes the sound gets distorted. Also, be ready to memorize for the exam!

Don't take COMN 211 class. The TAs are hard makers for no reason. if you don't have anything memorized for the exam, you will not get a good mark. Seriously, for the first exam, everyone failed. The highest mark was 60. Do not take the class. Especially, if you want for your elective. The class sounds easy and it should be, But they make it hard.

I'll be real here: took these courses to make my schedule lighter (as it only requires 1 hour for a tutorial - and there are many time slots to choose from). LOTS of memorization required for quizzes and the final exam, but he basically tells you exactly what to study for the exam. The quality of the online lectures and PPTs def needs improvement.

This was one of the best courses I have ever taken! I learned so much about the human mind and our interactions. Lectures are so relatable and enjoyable. It helped me understand why we behave the way we do, making me an even better understanding human being. All I have to say is, prof Kehoe and Dagmara (TA) are the best and ridiculously hilarious!

I took Dr. kehoe classes a few years back. He is a great educator, though the duration of the exams was always short. However he has the most horrible TA, now forgot her name, is an older woman, she laughs all the time, treats the students nicely until the submission of the educators rating forms, afterward, she becomes rude, and hard marker.

Lots of homework

THIS COURSE IS HORRIBLE. PROFESSOR KEHOE MAKES YOU BUY HIS OWN WRITTEN BOOKS THAT ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE THAT ARE VERY CONFUSING AND WASTE OF READING. THE TUTORIAL CLASS IS HORRIBLE. NEVER AGAIN WILL I TAKE A COURSE LIKE THIS.

I took this course since there weren't any 6 credit courses that matched my timings. The TA leaders are very nice. Overall the course is really content-heavy.

The course is blended with in-class tutorials. Overall the course is pretty basic but it's really hard to reach the prof and TA's. It's been 2 weeks since the final grade update deadline and the grades still haven't been posted.

Great course that helps you learn alot about effective communication. Lectures are interesting and real world applicable. Tutorials with Dagmara are helpful to understand the key concepts and do well on assignments.
