He's a very nice man, but his teaching style is poor. There's a potential for a quiz every class so you have to study every night for it. He's scatterbrained and spends more time talking about things that aren't important than spending time hitting the major points. Hard to do well on the quizzes because students grade them and it's hit or miss.

Great professor! Made psy 105 a lot of fun. Tends to go off on tangents, so be sure to do the readings as well. It is a lot of reading, and there are 4 30-question tests total, each worth 1/4 of your grade. If you actually read and study your notes, you'll be fine. 10 mini-quizzes worth 1 point each= up to a whole letter grade of extra credit!

Ask questions if you're confused about a concept, and listen to his stories and read the book. Both of them combined will help you gasp each concept.

Dr. Keith is the best professor I've had at UNCW! Experimental psych is boring in itself, but he made the content as interesting as possible. I was dreading having the class three times a week-- 2 hours each class-- but it went by quicker than some of my 1 hour and 15 min classes because he made it easy to pay attention to. Take him for PSY355!

This was an online class, and there were 2 grades per week. Each week is a different chapter of the book. On Thursday, you have an assignment due to show that you have read it, and on Friday is a test. Each test is 20 true and false questions with 3 minutes to complete. Overall, this was an easy class, and the teacher responds to emails quickly.
