Best Prof Ever, hilariously funny, good prof
Such an awesome prof. Would really recomend his classes to everyone!
explains things clearly, makes learning fun, makes jokes when appropriate
Really liked him but like him more when I can compare him to my anat prof now!!!
Amazing prof, makes the course material very understandable
His classes are hard and he has very high standards. Can't stand the stupid noises he makes. He just overall pisses me off.
Awesome Prof.! He has the best attitude and is very interesting!
Has high expectations but gets the best out of his students
Best prof i've had so far. Makes the material interesting and keeps students' attention

If only all profs could be like Keith
cool dude

good prof, funny, tries to keep you interested in the course material, tests all mult. choice so you gotta know your stuff.
The noises he makes are the most annoying sounds in the world. He thinks he's a comedian, but really is just a joke.
The kind of guy you'd like to be friends with. He is often known to do funny little dances in his lectures. A really good prof. maybe one of the best! Every class is entertaining and informative.
He is an awesome prof. Very energetic and full of life.
What a prof he is...keeps u alive while leacturing with all the sounds he makes and jokes he uses to make us laugh! A great teacher that has the patience and most importantly with a very warm SMILE!.
He is such an awesome prof, by far my favorite of all time!
very good and funny
Can take relatively easy material and make it exceedingly difficult. His tests are extremely tough. Does not seem to care that the average mark is barely above 50%. Approachable and friendly but stubborn. I would steer clear of Dr. Russell
He is awesome! Very funny! Makes the class very enjoyable!
Awsome, funny, interesting
Hilarious dude, good at teaching. One of the best profs I've ever had!
Very funny, makes class extremely enjoyable. Easy to learn from as well
Whatta swell curmudgeon!! :D great guy, easy class, made lectures very enjoyable. First years are lucky to have him. If you think his class is actually hard....just you wait. This was not a tricky class at all. All exam questions based on the notes.
The funniest Professor I have ever had. He's pretty profane, so if you're easily offended think of steering clear. He made this class so fun and enjoyable! Very animated and engaging. You cannot help but be interested in his lectures. Best Professor I've had! You'll remember him your whole life, no doubt!
I don't know what the department is going to do if he ever leaves. He is the best prof I have ever had.
Funny, Annimated, and profane. He makes class enjoyable and will simplifly difficult concepts so that anyone could understand them. extremely energetic which is displayed in any one of his lectures
best teacher Ive ever had! Explains material in great detail. is very funny and energetic. Friendly and approachable
This is my second course with Keith, and truthfully, I don't think you could find a prof who does the job better than he does. He should honestly teach a course for other professors on how to engage the students within the material.
He is awesome.Keeps you very entertained and interested in the material no matter how boring it is. Explains things well and really knows what he is talking about.
Great teacher! He's funny and always makes the class interesting. He's definitely the best prof i've ever had. And wow he's ripped for an old guy.hah
He was awesome! I never fell asleep in this class once.
Avoid it.
Amazing prof. He explains the material really well and in a way that keeps the boring stuff interesting! Knows how to motivate students!
Wow, what a terrible professor! Take this class from another person.
Great guy, real zest for life! Knows his stuff, and does what he can to make sure you pay attention (how many 65-ish year olds do you know who could do pushups, chinups, etc?). Can appear flaky at times, but still great.
The best prof I've ever had by far! What are these people talking about who say to avoid him?? He knows his s*** and his tests are easy and straightforward! Take his class, you won't regret it!!
Bad class. Lots of material, tests were difficult. THe final was much easier and brought marks up, but the whole year sucked. He is disorganized, and difficult to get a hold of if you want to speak with him.
Not a good proff, he contradicts himself and isn't clear.
Awesome prof. So much enthusiasm
What and awesome prof. He is worth your time and probably one of the best on campus
Wow, not a good class to take from him. Take this class from someone else. He makes and easy class harder.
Really energetic guy! Definately won't be slepping in his class, although if you do your screwed b/c he leaves blanks in his slides. His tests are a little hard though, got to study like mad b/c he puts like 10 diff't possible answers per Q. I didn't find the textbook helpful, mainly the notes for sure. The labs are picky and will take marks off
Hard to get help fom, he seems really busy. Probabley wouldent recognize you in a crowd. Very active which helps you stay awake and funny. Thier is a tonne of information and if you miss a class your screwed. Tests are very hard and the average is low.
Easy class, especially if a health sciences student. Prof was super energetic, tests were easy. Watch out for lab TA's though. Most of them hate non-kin students and will dock huge marks without explanation. Mine was a complete bit@#. Labs took a lot of time
Great prof... Always available to answer questions through e-mail. He gave clearinformation that made studying for exams relatively easy, but there is a lot of material. Memorize the info and you'll to fine in the class.
I hate to say this but you would have to be pretty dumb, or incredibly lazy, to do poorly in this class. His exams are directly from his notes and as long as you go to class the exam content is very clear. He is full of energy and keeps everyone awake!
He's the best prof I have had and I know he will the best I will ever have. Don't take this class because you heard it was "easy," if this class doesn't interest you, you won't do well because you won't want to study, and you'll have to a bit! He is very funny and entertaining and easy to listen to! You will for sure get something out of this class
Effectively uses visual examples to get his point across. Though, if you have friends in the class, it is not necessary to go, it makes studying much easier if you go to class. Quite an easy class. He is a very good professor.
Easy class, but no thanks to him and his teaching. One of the worst classes I took, eventhough I did well in it.
russell keeps things interesting and keeps students involved even with 200 people in a class
Russel was a great prof! He really knows his material and added humour to every lecture which helped to remember the material. He was by far the best prof I have had, making the lectures interesting.
You have to be a really dumb Arts student to do poorly in this class...he is absolutely hilarious, and the material is straight forward information (unless you are an English major or something).
Very effective teacher, must know the material. awesome teacher in general.
Awesome proff, very funny. Explains diagrams and lecture notes really clear. Exams are hard, multiple choice with 10 options "and there tricky options"
keith rocks wonderful prof, and a wicked awesome guy
Professor Russell was by far the BEST prof I have ever had, his humour and love for kinesiology made the class exciting and interesting. the guy is wicked awesome and inspired me to change majors...I'm now a kin major.
Very fun and interesting. my favorite. He has a great personality and likes to joke around with the class. Even though he is old he is in amazing shape! Knows what he is talking about.
One of the best profs i've ever had. He is really passionate about what he teaches. His class was one of the only ones I looked forward to attending. His tests are fair and if you study you can get a 90 easily.
He has a good sense of humor, which helps you stay awake during class. He is really passionate about this subject, which is cool.
Keith was a great prof! He makes his lectures really interesting and provides good notes. His sense of humour keeps you from getting bored during class. If you can take a class with him, definitely go for it!
Keith is a great prof, but you definitely have to go to class to get the blanks for his notes. Memorize all the statistics from his notes, he likes using them as exam material!
PROS: High energy, humor integrated into his lectures, fill in the blank notes. CON: insensitive to students needs, un-personable, quick paced class, TONS of memorizing VERDICT: class is often described as easy - it's not. Take only if REQUIRED by Russell!
He by far is the most amazing prof ever! he's so in shape and so full of energy is unbeleivable for his age. i had him in kin 150 too and he was doing hand springs n such like none other. Amazing. Fun. Eager. Overall good teacher.
I really enjoyed Keith Russel as a prof, although I did not enjoy the exams....I thought they were very hard, even though they were all multiple choice.
Awesome prof, made the class interesting and humorous. He is probably the one prof I know that truly loves to teach. It's a large class but he still creates interaction with students, also makes office time for individual concerns. Tests are super easy all you have to do is study the notes. Even if you have no interest in KIN I recommend his class.
Very knowledgeable, very funny, and super energetic. His class is always interesting and he wants everyone to know what's going on. Really, he knows how to teach. Great class.
Keith Russell is the biggest beauty I know. Great class, always enjoyable, thoroughly explains the content, no complaints whatsoever about this prof
he is hilarious... love his lectures... makes you wanna come to every class... great prof
awesome guy, loved his class really good prof. had him for anatomy and kin 121 and loved both classes
Amazing prof. THE best. Does examples and experiments in class to show concepts. Energetic old guy. Bundle of fun! Enjoyed his class a lot! Notes were very clear and easy to study. Great classes. Kin 150 was by far my favorite university class with Keith.
Excellent professor. Lectures are clear interesting and to the point. If i could take all of my classes from him i would.
I really enjoyed taking this class.
Keith is hands down the most fun and interesting prof I've had so far. he is very approachable, understanding, and funny, and make this class my favorite this year despite having no prior interest in the subject. You can get away with not attending if you make sure to read the textbook, however the lectures worth attending, and fun.
Hard class...but he makes it pretty interesting. He's a great prof. For anatomy, it would've helped if he would've gave us better notes in the lecture (I pretty much had to make all my own notes from the textbook). The class has a lot of work to it, and you need to put the time into it or you won't do good.
Awesome prof and great class! Very easy exams. His lectures are always entertaining and he posts the notes online (you just have to fill in the blanks). Don't buy the textbook - you will never use it!
Keith is a beauty. He is enthusiastic and entertaining. He loves his work.
Great prof with lots of energy. Very entertaining. Pretty easy class. Easy to get over 90, hard to get over 95
Very fun prof, could likely survive without attending if poured over textbook, otherwise textbook isn't very crucial most of the time, give lots of examples, keeps attention of class, very approachable.
This guy. By FAR the best professor at the University. Incredibly helpful, energetic, and so easy to learn from. Makes everything exciting and interesting so you just absorb it. Its to bad there isn't more professors like him at the University. Theres a reason he keeps wining awards. Doesn't mark that hard, just study and you always do good.
Really great prof, likes randomly picking people in the audience as volunteers to get his point across!
Came in with high expectations and was disappointed. Quite condescending when asked any questions, not the conduct I'd expect from a professor. High energy but can be very unclear at times. Would not recommend as an elective.
Very good prof with engaging lectures. Would definitely recommend.
Keith Russel is an amazing prof. I am almost done my degree and looking back this class was the best class I have ever taken. I took his class as an elective and I learned a lot and got a great mark. Keith is extremely passionate about his work and it shows through his fantastic lectures. Do not skip his class, it is worth it to be there.
He is very enthusastic and definitly one of my favorite profs.
By far my favourite professor I've ever had. He was so full of life and used humour in every lecture. Material was tough, but he made it interesting. Textbook was useful and he always told us which pages to find information. Such a great guy!
Best prof I have ever had by far!
