Professor O'Keefe is the epitome of what a college professor should be. You would actually look forward to his class, even if it was 7 or 8 in the morning. He is kind, helpful and is always willing to hear your concerns, answer your questions and give truly sincere advice. O'Keefe is by far the best professor and the coolest :)
Dr.O'Keefe is the most helpful professors at St.John's. Class is very clear, notes are all you need to do great on the tests, and the material is very simple and interesting. If you are a CRJ major and don't take Dr.O'Keefe, your missing out BIG time!!
Dr. O'Keefe is by far one of the best professors I had during my four years at St. John's and he continues to be a blessing to me in my professional and academic ventures. He is very easy to talk to and so down to earth. He is the reason I became a Criminal Justice major after taking his Police and the Community course my freshman year!

I am taking Prof. O'Keefe for a 7:35am class and I thought this was going to be hard to do. However, guess what? This prof. is amazing!!!!! He is very understanding and going to class is always enjoyable. If you take good notes, you attend class on time, and do the issue paper and the 2 exams you will be fine. He is great. He is full of knowledge.

I love Dr.Okeefe, he is one of the best SJU has to offer. He is helpful inside and outside of the classroom and has lots of valuable career inforamtion and advice to offer.

Dr. O'Keefe is simply AMAZING!!! IN EVERY EXTENT OF THE WORD!!! I wish there were more teachers like him in this world. You live, learn, laugh and understand every bit of information in his classes. I would have taken his class many times if the school allowed :)
I LOVE DR. O'Keefe and his classes are just the best, however, attendance is mandatory and he remembers your name if you participate in his class and ask questions; which is definitely a plus when it comes to your final grade.
If you do not take his class you are definitely missing out on the real college education experience. TAKE HIM!!!!
Your experience will not be fulfilled at St. John's until you take his course. It's very laid back, you learn a lot and you find out more about yourself is not all about the book, or the 2 tests, or the oral presentation is about your eagerness to learn and seeing yourself working in the field of law enforcement. Whether it is meant for you or not.
You have nothing to lose but everything to gain with any class that Dr. O'Keefe teaches :)
Professor O'keefe is a very helpful and understanding individual.As a Criminal Justice former student he has shown a level of discipline and workmanship that will equipped you for the working world. He is that guy not only teaches about criminal justice he made sure students were well rounded in presenting good ideas that will enhances their law e
Dr.O'Keefe is not only a professor to his students but also a friend. He cares about his students and there are not many professors out there that care but he does. If you haven't taken him already.
