KEATING = Know-it-All, Old

No Comments

For someone who loves literature, she has the passion & is good for realstudents

She's a teacher for real students not for lazy bums

Kinda creates a distance between her and the students, cuz she's knowitall.

True she distances herself, but challenging. Her class has been very fulfilling.

it's a class, you have to work hard. deal with it.

Very intelligent, she IS well intentioned. Brutal grader, but improves writing

Very hard, extremely opinionated,u will work VERY hard to get an A

way too much reading, & harsh grader

Great class for girls! A lot of reading! As for the professor: tough grader, otherwise great professor! Lenient, helpful and very nice.

hard grader, but if you love a challenge take her. will improve writing, and is intellectual. don't take her if you want an easy A. you will have to work hard for the A, but rewarding.

She's not bad at all. Interesting discussions. Ok Grading. But its not a easy A - thats true

Grades hard if she doesnt like you. Not horrible, but i wouldnt recommend if you cant get along with her. She is always late for class.

Everyone compalins about her bc they're lazy. Honestly, I took her twice in a row, love her insights, very understanding and sweet (she's really helped me out), she does come late to class. she grades a little tough but ALWAYS offers rewrites. EASY!

dont complain she is a great teacher way better than the crap faculty that exists at the school

good teacher. everyone who complained are most likely freshmen who probably expected highschool english. she respects your opinions as long as you can back them up. strict on grading maybe but learn how to write and stop complaining

This professor is great for those students that like to engage themselves in discussion, and enjoy analyzing literature. Basically if you're looking for an easy no-brainer, don't take this prof. She's really good if you like to read.

as long as you know how to talk, youre fine.do the reading,discuss in class,take notes,write a paper or two,and you have a good grade.shes very insightful and open minded, will always listen to your opinion if you can back it up [which is the intelligent thing to do anyway..its college people]

i think shes really good..shes very intelligent and will help you when needed..especially when your having trouble saying what you think or writing what you think..shes good like that..i enjoy her class

very nice, positive attitude, great help, willing to explain anything you dont understand. easy to talk to. love

She's a nice woman, very passionate about the class discussions. Very tough on grading her papers, but is looking for an overall improvement rather than an average for the semester.

Just do your reading and you will do well, she is a pretty easy grader. But if you hate to read then don't take her (or any Lit class for that matter) The books she gives to read are really interesting, but she is fast paced, so you have to keep up.

i took two of her classes. that pretty much says it all. do the readings, they are interesting and make class much more fun.

she gives great books to read and her tests and midterms are usually easy. Papers she can be tough but she looks for improvement more than anything when it comes to grades. This is college and she has a masters and a doctorate - she knows more than snotty know-it-all kids. Shut up and give her a chance and you might (gasp) LEARN SOMETHING!!!

prof. keating is my savior, i love her and will do anything for her.she is quite the hottie too!! oh man, i just read another one of her works, my Last Duke, she is too cool man.i want to let everyone know that she is the best out there!!!!!!

she is very intelligent. i like her, she knows what she is talking about. don't be intimidated.

Be prepared to do a lot of reading, I had to buy 9 books for this class, and towards the end we were assigned to read a book a week. It's more of a discussion class, so make sure you read. All in all, her class is a lot of work, but you learn, and she's a decent grader- she lets you re-do papers.

love this woman.

I really like this Professor! She is understanding, and always answered my questions. She is really interested in her students writing, and I thought she was very useful with her comments and feedback. I would love to take her again. She wasn't ever late when I was there, and would always stick around to answer questions. She also brought pizza!

Inspirational professor. Gets you interested and helps you to understand in your own way. A lot of work, but it pays in the end. I got a solid grade, and found in her a mentor. Wonderful experience. Amazing professor/person. She won't be nice to you if you slack off or try to take advantage. Is that really such a horrible thing?

At first I was intimidated by this class (Creative Writing: Fiction), but she really makes the room a comfortable place to put your writing out there. She is really helpful, really knowledgeable, and really inspiring. I would love to take her again. She's really chill and truly wants her students to learn.

I've taking Dr. Levine-Keating a number of times. She is worth taking. If you put the effort in, you will be rewarded.

She is a very good prof. and knows what she is talking about. If you are prepared to learn and do lots of work def take her. You'll learn a lot.

i had this teacher. i told her i was gonna be a poet and a college english professor. she told me i had not suffered enough. i have suffered plenty...helene please remove the curse...oh yeah..PS...i am a poet and professor.

BEST teacher ever. Had her for Creative Writing Poetry. She can seem a bit uninterested but that is not the case. She really helps and simply knows her stuff. The one on one meetings are great because she really understands and helps you with your work. Amazing professor. Dont take this class if you dont have a passion for writing.

Great professor, gives lots of helpful feedback on writing. The class itself takes a lot of work: reading at least two short stories and writing 3-4 pages of creative writing (prompt-based) per week. Class is discussion-based, so don't take if you are insecure about your writing or don't want peer feedback.

Professor Levine Keating was great and very clear with her expectations. It is a very writing-heavy course so be prepared for that but if you like writing then go for it. She is kind but not afraid to be honest if inconvenienced during the course such as submitting late work or having missed requirements in the assignments. I would take her again
