He is a terrible teacher. He babbles continuously on AT&T and his wife. There is no excuse for how he sucks as a teacher. He gives 3 exams and 1 paper. Easy enough, huh?

I had Prof. Keeling for Mgmt 325 & 340. I am in my early 30s taking satellite distance classes thru ODU. Maybe I think he has something to offer students b/c of his real world experience in mgmt due to my age. But I think he is a pretty good teacher. His tests can be challenging, but college courses should not be a piece of cake.

When the CLASS AVERAGE fails his exams, it seems like Keeling is the one that failed to teach well and communicate with the students. He refuses to curve the exam or give extra credit. MANY students are planning to take this up to the DEAN, cause he keeps telling us "i have too many students to give extra credit." Ok Keeling, that's not our fault!

People should not be expected to be mind readers, nor should they have to decipher what you want by having to go through a maze of verbal cues. The average was failing, & the fault is on Keeling, because he is being paid to teach, apparently he has shown that he FAILED to deliver knowledge to the class despite being paid. Then what is his use?

I agree with others that his mult. choice tests are 2 tricky! It's like this; He gives you a question and 5 possible choices to pick from. The 1st 3 choices are so closely related you wouldn't know which to pick, the 4th choice is "all of the above." & the last choice is "none of the above" Get 5 wrong & you are down to a C grade!

A bunch of us talked to him about his exams and he said "I don't have time, Christmas is coming." It's like taking $600 & giving it to keeling, then driving to campus wasting gas and putting miles on your car, buying the book, studying for his misleading exams, then not passing. This happened to the CLASS AVERAGE. If you feel lucky, go for it

Mr. Keeling's exams were misleadingly difficult, but it didn't flunk me. I got out with a B. It was worth it to have a teacher that was entertaining. He loved to tell stories and shock the class awake with a sexual reference or curse word. He also had a lot of fun picking on people. Difficult grader though.

Somewhat interesting subject, but not overly impressed with Keeling. As stated in several other comments, tests/grading equivocal. Got a 9 out of 10 on paper, but don't know why since there were no markings on it. Class lectures could be shorter if he would exclude personal/irrelevant stories. Loads of experience in labor does not=good teacher.

tests are not stunningly misleading. on any assignment or exam if you miss a couple points then you are dropping down to the next letter grade. his research paper is worth 10 points--3 points off and your down to a C. Same with the exam- Get 5 or 6 wrong and your down to a high C. So you can imagine how an F can come real quick. SIMPLY THE WORST!!

Second class I've taken with Mr. Keeling and would take a third. I didn't buy the book and got a B. Follow the slides. Pop quizzes are somewhat hard but only counted for 5 points of your grad out of 100. Short essay about any topic in the world relating to labor unions. Tests were tricky. I lot of A, B. C a or b, D all of the above choices.

Professor Keeling is awesome! He tells you exactly what you need to study for tests in his power points. I also found reading the chapter summaries at the end of each chapter in the book to be a bit helpful. His tests contain a lot of material but as long as you have studied and paid attention to him in class you will do fine.

He is very knowledgeable about the field and has a lot of real world experience. Tests aren't bad. Studying the powerpoints is best.

He was a good professor with lots of real world advice. The tests were a little hard but study the power points and you will do fine. I took this as a summer class and thought it was was great.

He is a good professor. He tells you what you need to know for his test. study the power points and you will do good. He does use the book, but I have yet to use it, I just go off the slide shows and I do good on the test. He has one paper 3 pages, easy. Easy teacher, he rambles a bit but he knows his stuff. weird guy, but good teacher.

Mr. Keeling is a great teacher! His tests come straight from his powerpoints and his stories, which are super entertaining.

Great teacher. Really entertaining stories. He knows his stuff. His tests are not so bad, just read the powerpoints. Don't need the book so save your money.

I enjoyed Mr. Keeling's class, he keeps things entertaining. There are three exams and one paper. Not too difficult, but the exams cover 6-7 chapters and are only 25 questions long, so it was little hard to narrow down or pinpoint things to study. I would still recommend, he's a funny guy.

I walked out of his class the first day. I was in my 40''s and new to ODU and was about 60 seconds late for class so he mocked my watch-reading abilities and then found several other reasons to zero in on me during the class. I told myself not to reward him for this and withdrew immediately. I have a pretty thick skin but respect goes both ways.

Funny guy. He likes to make class fun. Covers a lot of chapters for each test so it's hard to know what's going to be on them. They are short so if you miss too many you get a low grade. Study the powerpoints. He passes around attendance sheet. Gives pop quizzes but usually gives you a hint the day before. No homework but there is a paper.

His lectures give meaning to otherwise banal management jargon. He's had extensive and highly relevant career experiences as manager that he shares with you. It's easy to study the slides and pass his tests, but you gotta listen to his lectures to get real value from this class This is an intro course, so the content is more thematic than technical

Professor Keeling is very informative in his lectures. When going through the PowerPoints, he does point out key points that he expects you to remember - they will be on the tests! The tests consist of 27 questions with multiple choice and short answer. Follow the PowerPoints and examples given - they will be helpful to you.

As long as you read the chapters, and take notes on the powerpoint he presents in class you will do fine. He gives clues on what is important to remember for the test. Study the material he presents on the Powerpoint and read those sections in depth. 1 paper, 2-3 pages. Only 3 Exams, no final. Nice guy and very helpful.

If you are taking his class online, do not do it! He does not respond to emails or calls. He is not thorough in his teachings. You are basically reading powerpoint and going for it in the test. Not helpful at all! One of the worst teachers at ODU!

I took MGMT 340 summer 2016 Web Ex. I find that it is a hard course because Professor Keeling grades you on three exams and a paper that is only worth up to 10 points so there isn't much leverage to mess up. Tests are tricky. He doesn't really communicate via email or if he does he will send one word responses like "no" or "yes" so it's best to cal

I have taken multiple online classes under this professor. As long as you listen to his lectures he provides you with the needed information for your tests. Usually one 2-3 page paper to write in each class, but usually let's the student choose the topic. Highly recommend this professor!!

Consists of 3 exams using Proctoru & 3 page paper. The Tests are 27 MC questions and 2 Dis. The average test covers on average 300 pages of content and are very specific questions directly from the text. READ before the lecture and have power points in hand to take notes in class. No tutoring resources offered by ODU for this class

Took it over WC/online. His teaching methods are unacceptable. He is not technology literate, provides nothing but an office phone to reach him, has distant learners MAIL their written work to him bc he doesnt want it emailed. What a joke! Very hard tests covering loads of material. DO yourself a favor and take this class with someone else.

Prof. Keeling's class was tough. The class consists of 3 tests & a 2 page paper. The tests cover 5-7 chapters at a time & are 27 questions. There is a ton of content to know!! He tells you what is on the test in the PowerPoint but sometimes its the opposite. You don't need the book. Just study the powerpoints. An A was merely impossible for me.

Professor Keeling is just simply not a good Professor.. not really sure how else to put it. His lectures are dry and boring, and he crams about 5-6 chapters of material into one test (not to mention the test questions are 27 questions). If you don't pass the tests, you're not going to pass.

Professor Keeling's lectures were very information heavy, and I often had to listen to them twice so that I could absorb all of the information. Your grade consists of 3 tests and a paper, so it's easy to lose a few points and have your grade plummet.
