This guy is the living legend of hfcc. This guy can teach and get loads of women flattering him. This guy is my idol and i hope i can be as cool as this man GO BLUE!!!!!
he is by far the funniest person and very intresting to listen to. He makes eveything intresting. his tests are easy, he gives you all the answers before hand so only a dummy can fail...hes always availabe when ever you need him.
Great teacher!
Very cool professor.You WILL have to learn and will do an assignment or two but hey it's a fun class. Oh and he IS sexy to!!!
Awesome teacher, very helpful and informative. I highly reccomend any class he teaches. One of the best classes I've ever taken
best cj instructor
As long as you come to class, there is no reason you shouldn't get an A. He's more of a lecturer than most of the other CRJ teachers, but he still involves the class alot.
one of the best teachers i have ever had...hes great and knows what he is talking about...i would recommend him to anyone who wants to take CRJ classes...
I like him very much he's great!!!!!!!!!!!
You wanna class where u can learn and get the grade then u need to take him........hes awesome!
good teacher made my boyfriend take him i like him so much. i toke it as an elective and he made me think about changing my major. he is just a great teacher i love him
He is probably the best CRJ teacher at the college, he has a don't mess with me attitude, but has no problem teaching you if you want to learn. I would highly recommend him.
I had him for two of my criminal justice class. He was always there when I need him. He lecure but he listen to you also talk. He even help me chhose most of class and the best teachers to take. As long as you come to class you will get an A or B as a final grade. He let you express you disagreements with him and his class.
He's awesome! The best teacher I have ever had.
Kearney is the best instructor I have ever had. He knows what he is talking about, works humor into his daily sessions, and is fair. One tip-do not EVER leave your cell phone on when you come to class. That is one thing he will explode over!
Best Teacher, no doubt about it. Wish he taught other classes.
Also one of my Fav. teachers of all time. He is super smart, witty and interesting. His classes make you want to come back the next day! Just do your work, study for for his quizs and tests. Dont me a jerk and you will enjoy his classes
Uhm. Dan Kearney is awesome. He's sexy.. and this class is good. If you go to class and pay attention he'll like you and you'll do good... plus, staring at him isn't so bad either. =)
Very helpful and knows the topic inside and out. Hands down he's the best teacher and he's a hot :). GO BLUE!!!!
I want Mr. Kearney. He is so hot and sexy. I loved his class. Not to much homework, not to many tests. I learned a lot from his class and I got an A.
The best teacher at HFCC hands down! The best teacher ive ever had.
Kearney was the best teacher that i ever had. He is funny and makes the class very interesting. If you show up to class you will do fine. I got an A in the class. One tip- don't ever fall asleep in class he will kick you out of class in a heartbeat. I would reccommend him.
He is a best instructor I ever hade. I will never forget him. Don't get him made he will get ugly.
Mr Kearney is one of the best instructors at HFCC. He is knowledgable in his field and I have no doubt his teachings are proactive. He is also a real hotty!!!!
Very smart, witty, and cynical....I would reccomend him to every student. Taught class in an interesting, attention grabbing way :)
Kearney is very knowledgable in criminal justice, and very good with keeping your attention and initiating discussions. Funny guy also. I would recommend him to anyone
He makes the class very entertaining. He's not like your average professor; he's funny and very easy-going on all of his tests, quizzes, mid-terms, and even finals! I refer this teacher to anyone taking Introduction to Criminal Justice.
He is one of the best professors ever. He is really helpful in class and after class. His class is fun and really interesting. His tests and quizes are pretty easy. I wish i could have him for my other classes too.
Mr. Kearney is crazy (in a good way). He has a unique way of teaching! You will always get a thrill out of his class each day. He throws words around to show the real! He tells it like it is and NEVER sugar coats ANYTHING! Make sure you take his class because at the end of the semester I guarantee you will have tons of knowledge of CRJ!!! -S.Floyd
He is an awesome professor! Makes this class interesting... hard to do! Dont forget to turn your cell phones off, He really doesnt like it when they go off! GREAT GUY. Really Cute too :-)
Is it just me or is he HOTT! He's sooo funny, but he is the real deal when it comes telling you like it is. I enjoyed his class and I recommend him whenever you have the chance to take his class. MR. KEARNEY you are a great teacher.
He is great! He is very helpful!! he makes everything interesting.. hes funny, and really good looking... lol.. i will recommend him to anyone!! just dont get on his nerves.. keep ur phone off in class!! or he will snap....
This guy is amazing
best teacher i will tell you to take his class just cuz he is so insiteful! i love this class to death and wish he taught other class as well in the criminal justice field!
He's a great teacher. Has a lot of knowledge and experience in C.J. Very nice and helpful. By far one of my favorite teachers. I will miss him!
Great teacher. Knows the field and tells great stories.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS I HAVE EVER HAD. HE HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND IS ALWAYS INVOLVING ALL THE CLASSMATES IN DISCUSSIONS SO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THE SUBJECT. HE ISN'T TOO HARD AND HE ISN'T TOO EASY SO NO HE'S NOT A BLOW OFF. OVERALL GREAT TEACHER, HOPE I HAVE HIM AGAIN!
GREAT TEACHER, HAD A LOT OF FUN IN HIS CLASS LOVED GOING TO CLASS EVERY DAY MADE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD ALL THE MATERIAL AND WAS 100% PREPARED FOR ALL TESTS. TAKE NOTES AND COME TO CLASS AND YOU WILL DO FINE. GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. DONT EVER LET HIM SEE YOUR CELL PHONE!!! LOL WISH TO HAVE HIM AGAIN
I LOVE HIM, HE IS SO FUN AND HE MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND THISE BIG TERMS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BOOK. HE IS FUN AND LOVES HIS JOB. AND PLEASE DONT LET HIM SEE YOUR PHONE, HEAR YOUR PHONE,OR EVEN FALL ASLEEP IN HIS CLASS HE WILL FLIP OUT BUT HE IS GREAT LETS YOU KNO WHATS GOING TO BE ON THE QUIZ AND VERY HELPFUL WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIM FOR ALL MY CLASSES
Kearn is an awesome instructor, not boring-the subject matter is-and helpful with nonschool problems..Tells students what is on the quizzes and tests. Not as funny as Osowski, but he's not boring by any means. He LOVES when cell phones go off!! Alos, verrry Foxy!
Professor Kearney's material is probably one of the easiest to understand. However, his stupid policies will cause one to fail the class. If you're very sick, he DOESN'T care. I was sick half the semester and he didn't care, lost 20% of my grade. He forces you to come to class or you'll lose a letter grade each time. Not recommended. 4/10
Excellent teacher. He has a great deal of experience. He's a hands on teacher. Recommend to anyone who wants to learn whats really out in the streets and how the law works, fair or not. Teacher allows a lot of student comments and participation. But please beware I admonish you to let your cell phone ring in class. Please!!!!!!!!!!!
It wouldn't seem STUPID to take everyone's word that a teacher is great. However, this instructor is extremely biased and unhelpful. If he knows you are religious and not Christian, he will despise you. If you are not religious, he likes you. He has bias towards Muslims, Islam, the Islamic Law, the Quran, and will feed you some of his lies.
First of all, I would like to say that I disagree with what that previous person said about Mr.Kearney being biased. He is in no way against the islamic religion. I myself am Muslim and wear a scarf. He has always been nothing but absolutely nice to me. He is very helpful as long as he sees that you are a hard working student.
He is the best and greatest teacher i have ever had He knows what he is talking about and has the experience to back it up. I recomend to anyone who wants a good education. Just three thing dont tick him off with stupid idiotic questions, Dont talk amongst yourselves why he is talking, and turn your cell phone off or you will really regret it!
I had him for 5 of my classes while attending HFCC and I absolutely loved him. He made everythign so understandable. Take good notes and you will do well on tests. He never tests on things he hasnt talked about extensively in class. Interesting, nice to look at, funny, and very smart. You can learn a ton from him. Dont let your phone ring in class.
he is by far the funniest person and very intresting to listen to. He makes eveything intresting. his tests are easy, he gives you all the answers before hand so only a dummy can fail...hes always availabe when ever you need him. GO BlUE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Id have to say he is by far the BEST teacher i have ever had so far!! i love the way he explains himself in a understanding way and he always has time to help you out when you need it. He is very understanding when it comes to make up work but dont get me wrong, he will tell you off if he feels you are not taking the class seriously.
This teacher is amazing! He is very knowledgeable about what he is teacher, while following the guidelines in the book. It is fun to hear his story's and taking his class makes me want to continue being a CJ major even more so. Thank you Kearney!
Mr. Kearney is the best teacher I've ever had in my life. I have never learned so much in a class. I had him one semester ago in 132. Please, please, please do not disrepect this man, or let your phone ring in his class. You will be very sorry. But on a good note he is an awesome teacher. Take his class. You will not regret it.
very good teacher... just way to full of himself...
Kearney is the best professor I have ever had. Lays everything out the way it is. Tells you exactly what is going to be on the quiz. Very funny and easy to get along with. If you are into politics and actually vote he will love you. Pretty Conservative too, we need more professors like him at HFCC. If you get anything less than a B you are a dunce.
Excellent instructor- interesting, funny, down to earth, and he actually makes learning the material enjoyable. Great stories easily relates the material to real life. He lays out exactly what you need to know for quizzes and exams, it seems insane that anyone could get less than an A or B in the class. Very highly recomended.
While the subject matter is easy, Kearney is not qualified to teach it. He is not a man of his word; I advise dual enrollment students not to take his class. Class is a joke, not in terms of an easy A. He just.... you can fill in the blank. Again DUAL ENROLLMENT STUDENTS DO NOT take him.
I LOVEEEE HIM! best teacher i ever had...very cute, very helpful i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee him=]=] i would take him 100000 more times
Excellent professor really cares about his students.
Excellent professor really cares about his students. He might even make you change majors he is that interesting
Oh my God, he is seriously the best ever!! He is probably the most interesting person I've ever met. I loved his class and I wish it never ended, it remember everything we talked about to this day. I loved him because he's real he's not just some guy standing up in the front lecturing I could talk to him for hours, and I wish I really could!!!!
Hands down the best teacher ever. Tells you exactly what's going to be on the test. If you get less than a B you have no brain. Very funny. He makes you want to come to class. If you like law and politics, and are involved, make it obvious, you'll be on his good side. Highly recommend to anyone.
coolest prof. ever
I LOVE THIS TEACHER, HE KNOWS HOW TO TEACH, HES COOL.10/10
Wow, Mr. Kearney made me love Criminal justice. He is the coolest person to talk to about anything. In fact I would get up and talk to him right now if I had the chance. He wants his students to learn the material. He is so clear when he explains something. He will tell you exactly what he's looking for on every test and quiz
Omg.... kearney wow no words can describe him.. he is the maan.. i swear i wait for his class of how fun he makes it. I love how always has jokes. and he is flirtious
great, fun, and helpful

He is sooooooo nice and u will never feel sleepy in his class (because his class is sooooooooo fun). He always makes jokes about his wife that he is divorcing;)Thumbs WAY up ;)AND REMEMBER TURN OFF UR CELL PHONES!
Mr. Kearney is the BEST and i mean the BEST effing teacher! i have never EVER had a better teacher than him through pre-k to now in college. AWESOME GUY!!!

lieutenant kearney !
Professor Kearney is the BEST teacher i have ever had. He knows how to teach the class and he makes you want to go class. I never missed his class the entire semester. I have learned so much from his class, and he has made me think about going into Criminal Justice. Oh, and hes HILARIOUS.
He was the best teacher i've had.. i loved him, he is so funny and makes the class time fly by with all his jokes. you will learn alot from him but at the same time enjoy his class very much..!!! you couldnt go wrong taking him. TRUST ME..!!! oh and by the way ladies he is a Sexy man..!! LOL..!!!
He is a great teacher, pay attention to what he talks about. He tells you exactly what is on the quiz, midterm, and final.
I think he was a GREAT teacher I earned an A....You can tell he really cares about what he's teaching and his students as well and he is not bad on the eyes...Overall I give him a strong 9...
He was a darn great teacher. Only those who did not listen or pay attention failed. I wish he taught other CRJ classes!
he is such a good teacher. gives u the questions b4 the quiz 2 help you. such an easy class (if you pay attention) . he's funny & energetic
The best! Cares about his students! Very helpful! I wish i would of taken him for crj 131.
MR.K IS THEE BEST FEAKING TEACHER EVER CREATED, ALOT OF IN-CLASS DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE EVERYDAY LIFE RELATED, AND ALOT OF HIS PERSONAL LAW ENFORM. EXPERIENCE, EVEN IF U WERE NEVER INTERESTED IN LAW ENFORM. YOU WILL BE AFTER THIS CLASS. NO HOMEWORK AH HAND-FUL OF QUIZES MID'T AND FINAL....HATES CELL PHONES (WILL CHEW U TOO STRADES MR.K IS THE BEST.
TAKE HIM!!! TAKE HIM!!! TAKE HIM!!! EASY A, I REALY LIKE THE WAY HE TEACHES, HE'S FUNNY AND COOL. BUT DON'T DARE PLAY WITH YOUR PHONE OR ELSE IT WILL TURN INTO HELL.
He makes up for the terrible advisers at HFCC, and fiercely defends, and motivates his pupils. He is a no nonsense teacher with an acute sense of what the needs are for each student to do their best. The quiet ones miss out in his class. He may seem gruff on the exterior, but its just a pretense. He remains a most considerate, and kind, person.
Mr kearney is clearly the man.For anyone on here that wrote something bad about him,**** off.He is a great,helpful,funny teacher.But no cell phones,or there will be hell to pay!oh he's a Michigan fan too!!! GO BLUE!
Mr Kearny is my favorite teacher! He is straight to the point and explains things rather then just reading from the book. I only wish he could teach other teachers how to do their job! <3 Mr Kearny!!!
Took him a few years ago, great teacher gives you exactly what you need to know for exams. To top it off hes sexy and hes got that whole "im a cop" thing going. He is very helpful, he even helped me with campus questions after I finished his course.
dont waste your time
GREAT TEACHER VERY HELPFUL AND EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT..!! AND HIS SOO CUTE WITH HIS OLD SELF..!! =)
Excellent
He is the best teacher ever!!!!!!!
Mr Kearney is a freaking BOSS! Dammit, best teacher EVER. I hope I'm lucky enough to be able to have him again in the near future.
love love lovee him!
He is by far the best teacher at HFCC. He is a tough a$$ but he makes sure you know what you need to know anyone that has anything bad to say about him must have failed his class...HA
Great teacher.He tells you the questions that are on each quiz and even gives you the answers to them.For the midterm and final he gives your study guides.The only thing I didn't like about him is he is a wolverines fan.GO BUCKEYES!!! 6 YEARS AND COUNTING BABY!!SUCK ON IT
This teacher is the absolute best!! i seriously want to switch my major just so i could take all my classes with him, he is hilarious and by the end of the semester you will learn everything without even knowing it, i HIGHLY recommend him!!!
EXCELLENT TEACHER. LOVE HIM AND HE IS VERY SEXY.
mmmmmm I like him expecially when he gives me "personal" help when I need it mmmmmm
helpful, funny, very interesting and clear in his lectures
He is a great teacher! He is funny and gives you what will be on the test the day before! You have to do an essay, a couple quizzes, midterm, and final! not to bad but he's great and pretty funny!
The GREATEST teacher Hfcc has!! I was really fortunate to meet him and have classes with him. So sad that we don't have anymore classes together. I would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone
He is an amazing teacher i will take him for as many CRJ classes as possible. He keeps you in the lecture and is straight forward with his lessons. I missed a few classes and still managed to pass with an A and it was a one day a week class. He is an amazing teacher and Very good looking. =)
I want to take every class he has to teach. Amazing teacher, without a doubt. He is very down to earth and very opinionated. I agree with every word that comes out of his mouth. He goes beyond what is in the book and relates everything back to life. He is also gorgeous and he knows it!! Knowledge really is power Mr. Kearney. GO MICHIGAN!
All i gotta say is he is a awsome teacher and straight forward i recommend him to all
AMAZING TEACHER, STRAIGHTEST GUY YOULL EVER MEET. VERY BLUNT WITH A LOT OF STUDENTS, BUT REALLY COOL MAN, I LOVE THIS GUY
Best teacher I have ever had and I am so glad he has another class I need to take!
He is the best teacher I have ever took. wow, he is so amazing, if you take criminal justice with him, he will change your life. I recommend everyone in this college to take him even if he doesn't need the class. He is very amazing. Oh yeah, and he likes soccer,"go Spain". If you don't take his class, you are missing a great lesson in life.
MR. K....IS BY FAR THE BEST TEACHER I'VE HAD IN LIFE....NOT ONLY DID HE MAKE SURE WE LEARNED THE MATERIAL....HE MADE IT VERY FUN...I WOULD ADVISE EVERYONE TO TAKE HIS CLASS...REQUIREMENT OR NOT...JUST DON'T LET UR CELL PHONE RING IN CLASS...HIS ALTER EGO WILL DEFINITELY COME OUT...LOL...-JONES
Kearney is the man!!! Not only is he the hottest teacher at Henry Ford but he makes you see criminal justice in a whole new light.i almost want to change majors!
best teacher EVER !!!! his passion and attitude changed my mind on my major and i can now thank him for making my decision for crj major 100%
MR KEARNEY, MARRY ME?!
HE is the besttt teacher ever! i loved loved LOVED attending his class! He is hilarious and makes the class fun. im considering taking another class with him just for fun! i love mr. kearney and he is sooooo cute. i love you kearney!!!
Best prof I have ever had!!!!
Wow, not just a prof. But like the dad I never had! He really does care. Yeah he can be hot headed.... GOOD-Don't be a dummy, use common sence & he is the best. If more men were like him, the world would be a better & safer place. :-) not just as a teacher but as a person. What an amazing man.
Hottest professor here!!!! Very straightforward and approachable. Listen to him and you will go far.
He is great and a very fair person - don't be rude and go on Facebook in class - he knows, even though you think you are getting away with it! Very devoted to his students. He likes a good chardonnay, too!
Great teacher but don't go to office hours. Not nearly as congenial as he is in class. Usually has his door closed and doesn't even tell you that he has office hours. Hint hint! Good-looking, elderly man though
Kearney is the best teacher by far...Ive nvr met anyone with such passion to teach..He cares so much for his students understandings. The first day I met him i feel in love with his attitude and gestures. He is sexy lol in his early 50's but looks more in his 30s..he is absolutely incredible if only everyone was like him..GREAT TEACHER! Ull regret
Kearneys a straight boss. His class is pretty chillen I highly recommend his class he's real cool and usually understands if you cant make it to class. Oh and hes hot so ladies hes a teacher you want ;)
He is the best teacher I have ever had. He makes sure you understand what he is teaching you. He has great stories that relate to the text that help you to better understand what the book is talking about. One teacher you must have!
Best class in my educational career. Excellence within every aspect, and knows what hes talking about. You will get an A if you know how to write simple notes for approximately an hour during class. No strings attached, he is not out to get you. I recommend to everyone
He is an amazing professor very professional and a realist if you don't like him its something wrong with you. :)
Mr. Kearney is so hot, I can barely concentrate in class. He is blunt and opinionated and a great teacher. Attend class, take notes, easy tests. Did I mention he is smoking hot!
When I saw the comments this man generated, I just had to take his class. Best choice I ever made. Learned a ton, heard great stories, and best of all I got to stare at the sexiest man at HFCC. Taking another class with him just to look at him for another 16 weeks. Lt. Kearney forever!!!!!
best teacher at hfcc. he teaches from the heart. he should be the president, the nation will be in a very good shape. He knows how to explain his subject. He teaches from experience. he is the most helpful teacher at HFCC.we did one speach(very easy) and took one quiz,midterm and final. nothing else. he likes to joke too.if u dnt take him ur missin
Kearney. Ha. Who doesn't love Kearney? His class is super easy (everything on the study guide is EXACTLY what's on the tests), yet I still came out knowing a ton about our rights as citizens. He's easy on the eyes, as well. ;) Take him; you won't regret it.
Best instruct I have ever had.
Great amazing teacher! I did not show to class 8 times, did not have a book and just from taking notes as hes talking I got a B! No professor is like him.. Ohh and my all-time fav quote of his.. " Money talks, Bullshit walks " LOVE U KEARNEYY!
Easy, just don't get on his bad side
Funnest ever at HFCC I literally didn't want to miss a day of his class. He gives a study guide and sticks to that on the test, if you take good notes you don't need to buy the book. The hardest test is the 1st one its 4 questions essay style and that was still easy if you studied! Just don't get on his bad side and dont talk while he is!!!
The best teacher I ever had:) Never missed one of his classes; never wanted to miss one either. It doesn't hurt that he also a very attractive instuctor. If you take notes, pay attention in class, and attend regularly there is no excuse for you not to pass. Awesome, Awesome teacher. I have much Love for you Mr. Kearney!!!!
I LOVE KEARNEY! He was the best professor I've ever had. He knows a lot about the subject and I looked forward to his class every day. He has a great personality and he is hilarious. Definitely recommend him to anyone. He is also very attractive.
One of the best teachers in HFCC!! He has a great personality and you always want to go to class. You actually learn a lot and he makes it so simple. I might change my major to criminal justice because of him. Definitely recommended
Great guy.
He's a very good teacher. I had him for 131 and he's very educated in the material. He's got a good head on his shoulders, and a lot of stories that are fun to listen too. I would advise anybody looking for a good start to the Criminal Justice education to take him.
I LOVE HIM!!!! HE'S GOT IT ALL!! PROUD TO HAVE HIM AS A TEACHER.
I LOVE HIM!!! HE'S GOT IT ALL!! PROUD TO HAVE HIM AS MY TEACHER!! HEARTS.
Mr. Kearney is a very very good instructor. I only knew the basics about law, I enjoyed his class so much I changed my major to continue studying law. He knows his stuff and if you go to class, pay attention, take notes, read the book you will surely leave his class with a tremendous amount of law knowledge and facts. He also keeps you laughing.
Had Mr. Kearney for Criminal Justice 131 - taking him for 132 wish he taught all CRJ Classes. He makes learning fun I had a blast in his class. It's really simple: go to class, take notes, participate, read the book - laugh and learn.
Basicly the greatest techer for criminal justice. He makes it fun to learn the subject and he actually cares about his student he will guid through the subject and make sure you understand. I recommend him
Mr Kearney is The Man Hes So Funny and hes a great guy who cares for his students i reccomend him
most amazing teacher/person you'll ever met. its a pleasure being able to know him, he's experienced in the field which makes class super interesting and understandable! funnest class, and you learn a whole lot! planning on getting my degree in crj. theres nothing u wouldn't be able to understand. come to class, he gives study guides for everything
Greatest professor I ever had. He has made made me realize alot about life. His teaching is superb. Has experience in the field. Makes class interesting and knows what to say. Wish I could take him for more classes. And btw, Go Blue!!!
One of the best criminal justice teacher that I've had. i would recommend him to anybody that takes him. He cool, he love to talk junk, and he make sure that you pass.
Attend class everyday, read from the book, and write down the required notes. For respect don't keep looking at the clock, turn phones off, and be nice to Mr.Kearney as well as your classmates, just don't forget he is there to teach you not to make sure you fail, so whatever he does and says it's because he really wants you to succeed.
He is a great, fun teacher. you will ned your book! He goes over everything! Very outgoing. Dont come late! I plan to take him again next semester. :)
Great professor. The man has great experience and his discussions help great. Pay attention every day and you will do good!
Have to say I have never been taught about so much in a single lecture, week, or semester as I was when I had him. Great guy. Does whatever possible to get you ready to be in the criminal justice field. Would take him again any day.
Fantastic instructor. He has a lot of experience and knows what he is talking about. He is straight to the point and hilarious. Get the book, pay attention, and BE ON TIME. I would take his class again any day.
Great guy willing to help you in any situation.
Mr.Kerney is the greatest teacher hands down. I mean it's almost impossible to fail the class, He is so flexible it's insane.
Had Mr. Kearney twice - wish he taught more classes. He is extremely helpful and very funny. I looked forward to class and couldn't wait to see what he'd have to say. Make sure you turn your phone off and be on time. He taught me so much I changed my major to Criminal Justice and bring him a cake on his b-day.
Kearny is the man. His class is very interesting and its actually enjoyable. This class is the story of Dan Kearny's life and somehow it will all tie into everything in the class. On the test if you dont know the answer just think what does Kearny want me to say lolololol.
ohmigod, this guy is beyond amazing. youll look forward for his class all the time. Hes halarious, and he practically tells you whats on the tests. You learn alot from the class because hes a great teacher. Love you Kearney!!!
Don't pass him up! He's easily the best teacher I've ever had. Super nice guy, great teacher, very funny and never boring. Class is fun just study the guide he gives you and you'll pass. Forewarning don't go in for a handshake unless you know him well enough!
my favorite teacher at HFCC! Always looked forward to class and would be upset when class was cancelled :( he is very experienced on the subject and makes class fun and interesting. He gives out study guides and tells you what to study- no surprises on the tests and/or quizzes. DEFINITELY take this class with him and you will pass.
Kearney is the best. U guys have to take him. His class is very easy. Very simple A u would get of course if u focus in class and study. Easy AS I
Bomb teacher. Dope dude
Best teacher at HFCC
FREAKING LOVE THIS MAN!!!!!! HE IS THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER TAKEN HE'S SO SMART AND WELL- READ!!! HE'S VERY HELPFUL AND KIND. AND HIS HUMOR IS JUST A BONUS TO HIS GREATNESS!!! :) I'M VERY GLAD TO HAVE MET HIM.
Take him Easy A or B. Great Man love to talk about being a Lt. POlice officer lol but I recommend him
He is super nice! Great teacher! Always let's you know what's gonna be on the tests and always has office times available when you need help. Also shares a lot of stories which helps remember stuff.
One of the greatest teachers I had. Really cares about his job and his students.
Funny teacher with a very chill personality. Tests are based directly off notes and book is essential. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Its amazing how much you learn from Mr. Kearney. Since he's held almost every policing rank, he's seen it all and teaches through real-life experiences, so it sticks! My fave thing about his lectures is that when he speaks, he draws you in, so everyone can't help but listen because what he teaches is golden. Most important info you'll learn in CJ!
He is a great professor! Explain's everything so well. Uses his own life experience's for examples which is great. Very easy to understand. Answers all questions! Good looking old man!
Absolute great guy. He is very clear when going over text in the book and does not assign homework. Everything he tells you will be on the exam, is on the exam, word for word. He is by far the most inspirational teacher I've had so far. I also loves how he explains cases he had done when he was a Detroit Police Officer! always tell him go MSU!
It's hard to stay focused in his class because this man is INSANELY HOTT! He is fun to listen to and very interesting. He shares stories about his time as a police officer and i could listen to them for hours. He types out notes that are very helpful. Kearney has so much knowledge to give about criminal justice and he gives it to you straight.
One of the best instructors I have ever had. Great class, great experience and I am extremely happy to have him for my next CRJ class! Includes personal experiences in the topic of the day and information actually sinks into your brain.
if I could I would definitely take this class again. it is a very easy class. he is very easy going. He tells you exactly what you need to know. if you study and take notes the test are should be easy!
Mr. Kearney is one of the best teachers at HFCC and would recommend him to anyone. Really cares about his students succeeding and is motivated by what he teaches. To pass his class tell him you love Michigan State.
Best college teacher iv ever had by far, he basically spoon feeds you. gives notes to you and tells you 90%or more of whats on the test. very funny man, i looked forward to his class because of his humor. kinda old lol very friendly. don't talk while he's talking or hell snap other than that he's easy and its an easy A.
Easy class, and he makes it really interesting. That was the only class I ever looked forward to.
Great teacher his lectures are really amazing and will keep you interested in the material. Show up to class and take notes! He also gives a study guide which literally has everything that will be on test.
Hands down the best teacher I've ever taken. Such a funny and down to earth guy. Get on his good side from day one and you're all set for the semester. Participate!
Although he is a cool guy, tests you need to read the chapters & pay attention in class bc what he says they'll be on isn't true. Also, our last project was a presentation. I received good grades & my presentation in class he said was great, yet I got a C+ while a fellow student didn't present & always missed classes & didn't do good got a C
Love this guy
Most Amazing teacher I've ever taken!!!!! very intelligent, kind, and he knows what he's doing! no one is more fit for this job than mr. kearney, he's truly an iconic person!
He is amazing! I look forward to this class everyday to the point where I am going to take another class with him next semester. Just make sure to show up because if you are absent regularly you WILL have a hard time passing
He is amazing! I look forward to this class everyday to the point where I am going to take another class with him next semester. Just make sure to show up because if you are absent regularly you WILL have a hard time passing . He gives great notes on lectures and tells you what to study for each exam
He is an amazing professor. I looked forward to every class!
Amazing professor. Really is passionate about CRJ and wants to see everyone succeed. Always says what's on his mind.
Literally the best!! I never thought that I'd love his class this much. He's very funny, he cares about his students, his tests and quizes are very easy (he'll let you know what to study) and he's very knowledgeable when it comes to criminal justice. But he's strict about attendance and making it to class on time. I recommend you take him.
Best teacher I've ever had, very funny and caring! Is willing to speak with any student about any issues. As long as you show up and pay attention/notes, you're good! He really respects the students that simply give effort& show up. Very entertaining and cool stories. Only teacher that I've wanted to take again. Can't fail
CRJ132 is a whole different class from CRJ131. A midterm exam and a final exam that is takehome. CRJ132 consists of no quizzes although you need to public speak in this class which counts as 30% of your grade. You also need to write a 5-7 page essay which counts for another 30% of your grade. Very heavy on curse words at some points, but still fun.
Best Professor ive had. He has been a police officer and a Lieutenant so he knows his stuff. He tells a bunch of funny stories of what hes experienced. Trust me you'll love his class. Barely any tests and he legit tells you the questions and answers to the test. DEFINITELY a class to take. No homework. Dont need book he give you all the notes.
Kearney is an amazing professor! He's very kind, truly caring and this guy just overall really loves his job, he made me fall in love with the CRJ field! truly one of the best at HFC!
Amazing guy and definitely makes you want to come to class.
Come to class. Prepare to read the textbook and follow up with the study guides. Only two quizzes and two exams, NO homework. Both quizzes are 15% each, exams are 30% each and 10% for attendance. Overall, interesting class.
Very knowledgeable and fun. Participation is a must during lecture. A real guy. Doesnt beat around the bush.
Hands down the best and funniest professor at hfc!! He makes class very fun to come to and enjoyable. Just make sure to study all the material he gives out in class and you'll pass the quizzes and tests. There are only 2 quizzes, a midterm and the final. His class is very easy to pass
Hes a great professor, very nice and understanding. His exams and quizzes are easy, but your whole grade is based on the final, midterm, and two quizzes. Overall, easy class with a great professor.
honestly the best class I've ever taken at HFC. He is my favorite professor and really made the class interesting. The class is so easy. pay attention in class and participate that all you really need to pass this class with a high grade.
I loved attending to Mr. Kearneys class, he makes boring material fun. Along with his funny stories back when he used to be a police officer, he is just overall a great professor. Its nice to have someone who takes the time to break stuff down for you, along with making it fun. I will miss him, it made my day to laugh at his jokes. He was great!
A straight gem. Very honest & upfront with grading criteria. Hands out notes before each chapter that has a simple outline and then goes into depth very clearly in his lecture. Very knowledgeable on what he teaches and seems to enjoy it. Wonderful about taking time out of his day to go around your schedule if needed. You don't need the book.
Dan is man. I'm majoring in CRJ and took his 131 class.. AWESOME. Taking his 132 class this Fall. Will pass for sure, he makes you want to learn more and more and more like in your spare time you just open the book and start reading, that's how fun he makes it!
Hands down, the best teacher I've ever taken in my entire college career. Insanely motivational and believes in his students. Theres no way for you to fail this class unless you just don't show up. Pay attention to his lectures and you will get an A. Very lenient at grading. Took him almost 5 years ago and I still keep in touch with him.
He really is an incredible professor, taking him for my intro to criminal justice class was the best decision I ever made. He is hilarious and his lectures are amazing. As long as you study the guides he gives you then you will have no problem passing his class!
Dan Kearney was the best professor I've had! He's so funny, so great at explaining the subject, and he has such a great way of bringing real life examples to the subject matter. I would take this class again, no doubt! Highly recommend him.
This guy made class fun. Time flies in this class and really just listen to his lectures and you'll pass. He makes it really interesting with his cool police officer stories. Hilarious guy
By far the best teacher ever! No homework! Gives you printed notes and goes over everything that he wants you to know in class. He is easy to follow and it is almost impossible to get anything wrong on his 2 quizzes,midterm and final. Gives extra credit opp. Only uses book to follow along with lecture/study 4 exam. Write what he says, youll pass!
HE IS AMAZING, FUNNIEST PROFESSOR EVER, made me actually look forward to going to class, and you actually learn, doesnt ever give homework and he cared for his class.
Mr. Kearney was hands down the greatest professor I have EVER had. He truly knows the subject inside and out, he follows the book, the study guides are EXACTLY like the exam and he is a fair and honest grader // instructor. I only dream that every professor was like him. I hope everyone experiences someone like him at least once in their lives.
Best professor Ive ever had hands down.
No Homework, all you have to do is show up and you will get an A. He allows you to have three absents, overall an amazing professor with an easy and interesting class.
The best instructor their is there at HFC cares about what you do in class makes sure you get the subject his stories are fascinating and they make you wanna learn more about criminal justice, also helps you out a lot with things you dont understand best instructor there is highly recommend 100,000,000/100,000,000
Great teacher and makes learning so fun. Uses real life examples to explain the material in each chapter and actually helps you understand, not just pass. He's the best!
He is a great professor
I absolutely loved him. He is such a great professor & just a great person all around. Class is very interesting & pretty straight forward. Listen & review your notes and you will pass. Highly recommend him!!
Honestly the best professor I have ever had! He knows this subject inside and out! Highly recommend him!
Actually one of the best professors at hfcc, hes amazing at lecturing and super kind and funny. If I could I would take this class again 100%
Take this class !
If you want this professor than sign up right away he isnt easy to get into this man is hilarious and I hope he teaches more crj classes best professor their is!
Great professor. Take notes and study from them. Great stories
He doesnt give any homework or work
Amazing!!!! He has a lot of experience that he shares in class. Hands on. You learn more by his experience. He is funny and caring. Take notes and you will pass.
One of the best teachers at this school! Super knowledgable on the topics and a really sweet and nice guy. He's really funny too, if you show up to class and do the work it's an easy A. G reat guy
One of my favorite classes ever. Very chill class, take guided notes while he lectures. His lectures aren't boring, but like an educational conversation, and he integrates interesting stories from his own experience into the class. He prepares you well for quizzes and tests. The textbook is recommended but if you pay attention you don't need it.
The best professor I've had at HFC. He really cares about his students and wants whats best for them. Attendance is necessary if you want to learn the material, however, his classes aren't boring. He dismisses you early most of the time. He tells stories from his own experience to spice things up. I did use a textbook, but it really isn't needed.
Mr. Kearney is a truly amazing teacher! He truly cares about his students, while taking his work seriously. His lectures were wonderful,and he gave clear and concise understanding of what was to be learned and expected. Attendance was required to get a good grade and pass, but who wouldn't want to attend a class with such a good teacher!?
I took this class 100% online. He assigns one critical thinking question and one discussion board question each week, and those are your only assignments. You will need the book to help you answer these questions, but they're mostly opinion questions. No tests or quizzes other than midterm, final, and an extra credit quiz. Very easy and insightful.
Very good professor, easy lectures, easy classes overall
Got the grade I deserved but real nice and understanding
This class is so easy, all he does for each week is give you a chapter to read and do a discussion board and reply back to us doing it. And then he gives you a midterm in the final those are the only two tests throughout the course! So yes take him and all the answers can be found on Quizlet for the tests! He's a good guy too he was a police office
Mr. Dan is one of the best teacher that I ever had in my life, his teaching is amazing I would love to finish all my college classes with him. He replies to his email real fast. I'm honor to take this class with him. I will never forget him and I will make sure to invite him to my graduation. Thank you a lot officer dan. Mohamed Said.
This is literally the easiest class I've ever taken, it's easier than preschool. Each week he gives you a PowerPoint all you do is read it and go over it and then you do a discussion board and answer a question that is it. For the midterm, he gives you a test same for the final! You can find them all on Quizlet, it's an easy A. PLUS HE'S HOT!!! ;)
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!
almost done with his class and so far, it's been great since his assignments are perfect since you don't have to do bulk homework but you have to read some parts, understand then give your opinion on the matter.
LOVED taking his class. Knows his material and teaches amazingly! Would take him for every criminal justice class if possible! Definitely take him!
This professor is one of the best I have ever come across. There are two discussions each week which take no time at all. The midterm and final were also a piece of cake. He cares so much about his students and gives feedback and answers questions! Overall an amazing professor
Easily the best professor I have ever had. He was not your average professor, that doesn't care about students. His students are the people he cares for MOST! Always helps and goes above and beyond for you. 100000/10 reccomend.
This class is super easy. Our weekly assignments were one chapter of reading, a short answer question, and a discussion post with the textbook "respond to a classmate by (insert date) for full points." Responds to emails quickly. This is the prof you want.
I highly recommend Professor Kearney, he was an amazing professor! If you have the chance to take a class with him, definitely do so. Everything is clear and concise in his class.
I never have and never will meet a professor like him ever again. He is honestly the best professor and genuinely cares.
Professor Kearney makes this class a breeze. With weekly reading, discussions, and easy tests, it's an ideal credit course. Unstuckstudy AI was super helpful for quick test prep.
