Take this teacher!! Especially if it is the online class. Easy teacher, funny, and helps everyone if you email or call him. Very understanding teacher. I received an easy "A"
Dr. Keating is a phenomenal professor. I’ve taken him at BCC and FAU and he is one of the best. Intelligent, funny, helpful and understanding. Highly recommended whether online or in person, he is awesome.
He was so good i had him for the Open college in summer b and his class was very interesting. Hes funny always throwing in very subtle jokes that are hysterical. He knows how to keep your attention and if he sees people drifting off he has the class all respond to a question. His work is very clear and easily done. Take his class its great.
Great teacher!!! EASY A, trust me!!! I highly recommend!!!
He is a GREAT teacher!!!! One of the best! If you have questions he will help, The class was great and he made it very interesting. It is a great class to take and you will have an easy A as long as you do your work.
This guy is the best teacher! He is very funny and sarcastic and knows everything about everything. He gets to the point and doesn't expect much from you.
DR. KEATING IS AVERY SMART MAN, HOWEVER IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LEARN HE IS NOT FOR U.WE WATCH VIDEOS AND EVERY CLASS THEN WROTE REACTIONS. HE IS REAL EASY BUT NOT CLEAR ON EVERTYHING. IM NOT SAYING HE IS BAD BUT U PRETTY MUCH TEACH URSELF IF U WANT TO LEARN. EASY A. FUNNY GUY THOUGH. WOULD RECOMEND TO GET UR GPA UP.
By all means , take his class during SUMMER TERM!!! No tests, no quizzes, no videos, or book! Easiest class I ever took.
Very good teacher. He gives extremly interesting explanations about anthropology and cares a lot about the students. Very flexible with time and dead lines.
easiest class i ever took. dont buy the book, u wont need it. there are no tests, no quizzes. all you have to do is write 12 "reactions papers"double spaced-each paper is 1 page long, so 12 pages by the end of the semester-thats it!u write about ur feelings about any website or bout wht he talks bout. watch a video every class.get a free wr.credit
easy easy class. He's a very sweet man; he can be a little odd, but he's cool. Video course was the easiest; just 12 one-page reaction papers! No tests or quizzes. Interesting course though
Veryyyy easy, took as Flexible LearningVideo Tapes easy no test, no quiz, no midterm, no final. Only 12 papers on anything to do with PSY or the assingments at the end of each chapter (12 only)
very easy. easiest a I've ever got.
Dr. Keating is the man. He tells you what you need to pass. Easy class. Lectures are fun because he is a good speaker. He helps you get by and is very understanding. If you fail his class you are the dumbest person on the planet and college is probably not for you.
Dr. Keating is the best. If you are short on A's, take any of his classes.
love how he relates to the students! you'll love this guy!
I took Mr. Keating's "flexible learning" class, where you only meet 5 times. The class itself is very loose, you are required to write 12, 1 page papers by the end of the semmester on anything you wish within anthropology, I enjoyed his approach to teaching by letting you decide what you want to learn about.
if you can, try to get into the class that only meets 5 times. you write 12, 1 page papers over the semmester. easy as pie.
theres an asteroid heading towards earth, we're screwed. Take Keating's class, learn something while getting an A before we're all obliterated.
His telecourse is just 13 hrs of videos, 12-1 page papers & 5 days of attendance. His lectures on those 5 days are excellent. His experience and knowledge of the subject is very extensive. But no pressure to your getting an A, course is very dynamic like the subject. Highly recommended if you can do those above items.
I took the class that meets 5 times. It was very easy. You write 12-1 page reaction papers and that's it! No tests. The lectures are not very exciting, but you are not there long. I would not recommend this class if you want to learn alot, but take if you want an easy A.
This class is great! It's like the discovery channel class. It's an easy but very interesting class. He is a great teacher and I reccomend it if you need a class like this for your degree.
great professor/person his class was always informative like the person under me said it's like watching the discovery channel! definitely recommend him! great guy! only a few paper.
Great class. Wath a few videos and write reaction papers, only 1 page. Learned some great stuff. This class is a nice addition to a full schedule just to fluff your GPA. Nice prof definatley reccommend him.
Extremely recommended.Perfect professor.
I took the class where you meet only 5 times. He seemed nice...a little strange, but that made him entertaining. Super easy class.
Excellent proff. Easy to understand. EASY A". 12 Papers and there is no midterm, final. Just watch video and get it done.
Dr. Keating was great! Interesting material in class and 12 papers to write on topics from the text. I'm definitely taking him in another class!
YESSSSSSS!I love Dr.Keating. I wish i could have him throughout my college years in school. His class is an easy "A" 12 ype assignments & no TESTS!! He's always there when you need him just "EMAIL" him & trust me he'll respond back quickly!He's a Supportive & Straightforward.If you FAIL that's was your choice!!TAKE HIM & YOU WILL PASS. THE BEST!!
easiest A! took his video based class and had twelve 1 page papers due on the last class on any subject in anthropology. Watched some interesting videos. definitely a class for slackers!
He's just awesome.Very interesting class & great lectures.Very knowledgeble & class becomes easy.12 (1 to 2 pg)papers based on websites, book or dvd.Book is NOT extremely necessary.It even becomes fun to write the papers.U choose topic.Grade based on info, not writing. highly recommended
If you don't pass this class, you're obviously not ready for college courses... 12 essays of your choosing and a cool teacher :~)
Easy A. 10 papers..Great professor!!
Easy A! Took the telecourse that meets just 5 times and it was worth it. Great professor, entertaining and funny! Classes always run shorter than are scheduled. And no tests, notes, or text book use. Don't even bother buying the DVD material-- you wont use it! He lets you write whatever you want! 10 papers = easiest A you'll ever earn!
Dr. Keating is a great great teacher! I have never rated a teacher before, but he was so amazing that I just had to. Easy and interesting class, and I got an A. I did the class where you only meet 5 times a semester. Highly recommended
he was so easy! only 8 papers on ANYTHING YOU WANT TO WRITE ABOUT WHICH WAS ONLY 1 PAGE and YOU DONT NEED THE BOOK !!!! i received an A.
If are not looking for learning. Just to take a class take him, but you will not learn much.
You will learn absolutely nothing in this class. Easy A if you take him. You only meet up 5 times in the term & write 10 one page essays due at the end of the term. HOWEVER, DO NOT take this class if you actually want to learn. He only showed up twice during the whole term. TWICE. We just watched old PBS/National Geographic programs for 1-2 hours.
There could not be and easier professor. 5 class meetings and 10 one page, first person, reflection papers on any area of Anthropology, no exams. He makes himself laugh. And he is the Dean of Student Affairs. He is a wonderful professor. He loves his job, it is apparent in his teaching. Should be professor of the year.
I read the other reviews, and yes this is an easy class. However, I did learn some things, not a lot because you have to remember this is an INTRO class. Just by the lectures in class, you can tell Professor Keating is passionate about his work. He brought interesting props to class. 10 papers are due by the end of course, your pick on topic.
Super nice and friendly but hard to learn something in his class. Get ready to watch videos (oh many videos) and write. Ok class!
Honestly one of my favorite Professors in my whole college experience. He's funny and really does care about you as a student. He knows you most likely don't care about anthro so theres no tests. Just ten one page double spaced papers. Easiest class in the world. Love this guy!
If you are looking for an easy A this class is for you. If you are looking to learn something this class isn't for you. He does not really seem to care about your education only for you to pass his class. There are no tests and eight short papers which you can just Google the answers for. Not my idea of a good teacher. No book required.
If you like watching videos and writing essays this class is for you. But you will not learn anthropology. He is nice and sweet man but could be better teaching his subject. He should make it more interesting (debates...).
Only 5 lecture classes in which he barely takes attendance. He doesn't give homework or tests, just 10 one page essays about what you learned in the class and your opinion on it. Easiest class I have ever taken I wish all college classes were like this. Highly recommend taking if you're a dual enrollment student!
He was great. Write your papers and you'll pass. book not needed just do your own research for the papers. google is your friend. I don't the bad ratings. yes he is an easy no you may not learn a lot but this is an intro class. get over it.
The 5 week format is perfect for people with full-time jobs. Interesting class. Funny professor. Simple grading criteria (10 short papers). No tests. Most of class is a simple lecture & a video or two. For an easy A on an interesting subject, this class is for you!
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER!
Interesting subject, but his class makes it so useless. Video and more videos (most of them tedious). I wish he teaches more and inquire more. If are serious about your learn this class is not for you. The essays can be googled up and given to him. Do you want to get an easy A take him, but you will leave the class knowing nothing on anthropology.
Doesn't care whether you come to class or not because he doesn't teach. All we do is watch old movies and listen to his personal life stories. You can't fail this class because he only gives A's. Don't buy the book because you won't need it. You won't learn anything about Anthropology but you will get an A no matter what you do or don't do.
Super nice, there's really no reason for you to fail his class
Easy but pointless. I did not learn a thing and fell asleep during videos.
Do the papers at the due at the end of the semester and get an A. Showing up to class isn't necessary after the first day, easiest class I've ever taken. Keating is a nice guy but is very dull and won't teach you much. Lots of boring videos and long pointless lectures but again it's an easy A if you do the assignment.
10 easy 1-page papers due on last day of semester. Lectures and movies every class, a few group activities but nothing hard. No final. Very willing to help you with anything you need. There is no possible way to fail unless you do it intentionally. Don't buy the textbook, we didn't touch it once.
Easy A without any work. Who can ask for anything more? Unless you actually want to learn in which case Keating is not for you. You don't even have to come to class if you don't want to, he doesn't care.
Very cool and funny professor, easy class, just write your papers.
Just show up, learn nothing, and pass. He doesn't take anything seriously and really doesn't' seem like he wants to be teaching. Movies, movies, and more movies, most of them old and all of them boring and irrelevant. This is college, if you actually want to learn I would pick a different instructor.
SUCH AN EASY CLASS!!!! 10 3 paragraph papers on anything relation to psych, 2 of the papers are group projects. Do no get the book i didnt use it once. If you want and easy A this is the guy and you will learn a little about cultures and other things
His so-called open college classes are awful and slow. Bring a pillow if you take it. He makes it too easy and is no learning in his classes. You can copy and paste any essay from any where and he accepts it. Easy but not worth! No learning at all in his classes. The videos are outdated and very annoying!
Very long class filled with a n empty not learning environment. Do you want to watch old tedious videos? Take his classes. Do you want to learn something? Don't take it. He doesn't care if you are there or not. Just give him a piece from the net as an essay and he will give you an A. I don't think he reads students writing. I would avoid him!
I was looking forward to learning Psychology and should have listened to everyone & not taken it with Keating. He thinks that college is a joke, doesn't take attendance, no exams, just short papers that can be copied & pasted directly from the internet. He does not care what we do. All we do is watch movies. As soon as the movie is over we leave.
Easily one of the most laid back professors ever. He doesn't assign hard work and his class is so chill. I'd definitely take him again.
Best teacher
This class is an easy A. Just 10 papers about 3 or 4 pages long. He shows videos in class. He allows for group discussions. You'll learn little but if you want the A hey why not. The videos can be interesting. Can leave early. He is good on one on one discussions outside of class and can inspire great topic ideas for the papers. He is very relaxed
Something i was really looking forward to was psychology. He made the hour and 15 minute class feel like 5 hours. Lectures included videos from 1990's or older showing us what all the disorders looked like, a lot of essays.. 10 to be exact. And that was the whole class. Easy A but i did not learn anything and wish i could have..
Easy A just do your 1o papers and you will pass!
Amazing Professor and you will pass with an A unless you are really lazy. would take him again
If you want to learn take someone else. If you want to hang out and watch movies Keating is your man.
I took him for intro to Anthropology. Very simple, just do ten one page essays by the end of the term and a PowerPoint presentation and you should ask. Infortmative, but easy to pass. If you need a not so challenging elective credit, take him. He is also very pleasant and willing to help.
He's not bad, but he's not great either. Gives a 10-15 minute lecture at the beginning of every class. Lecture consists of awkward jokes that no one gets. You pretty much watch old movies the whole class. Do NOT by the textbook. It's over $100 and you don't even use it. Save your money. No final, but you need to turn in 10 papers.
Easy A. You are required to do 10 papers you can turn them in at the end of the class session or 2 each week.
My advice is to pair his class with your more difficult subjects because this was honestly the easiest A. It however might not be worth it If you are actually interested in anthropology. 10 papers (1 page each) due at end of term, though I doubt he reads them past checking off that you turned something in.
Keating doesnt seem to care about teaching. The class consists of boring lectures filled with lame jokes and old black and white films. Its an easy A but you dont learn anything. Dont buy the book and use Wikipedia to write his brief papers which he doesnt read and just gives completion grades for.
If you're taking hard classes and need those extra credits take this class. Easy A. You watch videos the whole class and listen to weird jokes. 10 papers 1 page each. If you truly want to learn then take another teacher.
Ia surprise to see a 3.2 rating ( Not accurate) This professor is extremely easy. You can rent the book at amazon for 35$ he will be ok. You must do 10 essays, you will get an A. Will always stay at the end of the class to answer any question. The whole class passed with A.
How yall gave him a 3.2 ?? Listen this guy is like that one cheesy uncle you got , he makes jokes and no one laughs but hes cool . Overall no exams . 10 one page papers basically your views on a topic , this course was mad easy
ANY class you see his name on TAKE IT !!!! He is super easy! 10 papers is all he wants; your view on a topic. No exams, No test. If you can get through his cheesy-ness this is a super easy "A". Only way to fail is to not do the work! I mean seriously easy class.
Took Professor Keating over the summer. He gave a small lecture every day, but we watched videos majority of the time. The assignments? "Write 10 papers on anything that relates to psychology in a first person view - if preferred - 3 paragraphs, and you will get 100%." I did exactly that. You can turn the papers in whenever you want. Easy.
Professor Keating is the best prof ever. His class is based off of 10 papers that you have to turn in over the course of the semester ( 2-3 a week) 1 page typed (double spaced) you are guaranteed to get an A ... you don't need the book , you don't have a final exam ( 10 PAPERS ONLY )
Very prepare about psychology subject and a very nice professor !
Man listen... If you're like me and like to take the easy way out of things, take this class! first of all, the only thing we do in the class is watch movies. the only work we have to do is 10 one page papers before the class is over and it can be about anything you want that has something to do with the class. I literally copied &Pasted n got an A
If there were an easier way to get an A it would be illegal. Show up (He takes attendance) Watch a couple of movies, he talks about said movies and makes jokes the whole time then go home. The only thing you have to do is write about 10 1 page opinion papers about the 4 branches of anthropology, you pick the topic.
Easiest A you'll ever get!!! Such an understanding guy, complete sweetheart! 10 2 page papers due, turn them in any time. Any topic as long as it's psychology related. No mid term, no final! I don't understand why his ratings aren't way better than this!!! No textbook necessary!
Super easy A! All you do in his class is watch movies and the only work you have to worry about turning in are 10 one-page papers about anything you want to write about as long as it has something to do with anthropology (I made most of mines about the movies we watched). You can't get an easier A in any class, totally recommend him!!!
I took Dr. Keating when I was a student at BC. Thinking about it now as a student at FSU, I really do not recall learning anything. He did not teach us anything, made us watch black and white movies, and told dumb jokes. He did not seem to care about the class and was not prepared for it.
If you show up to class and get your attendance grade you can literally walk out and enjoy the rest of your day but don't do it often to the point where he will know you wont come. He wants 10 1 page papers about different topics of psychology of your choice (DO IT BEFORE HAND, LIKE NOW IF YOU CAN) he doesn't read them anyway. EASY A
Dr. Keating is a very nice guy but is all over the place. We watch outdated black and white movies and the lectures have nothing to do with the textbook or the course. He cares about his students, but is not very good at teaching them.
Look forget about every review you have seen. Show up to this mans class and do his 4 ESSAYS (2 PAGES, ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL NOT ABOUT FACTS) and you pass broooo. If you fail you should drop out because you dont care enough XD
He is a good teacher and easy to talk too. He gives four assignments for the entire semester which are all 2 page essays on how the materials helped you. There are no midterms.
The class was easy, The 4 papers are all opinionated; you write how you feel about the topics discussed in class, the book if you get it, or literally anything remotely related to anthropology. The papers are 2 pages long, double-spaced, and you only need to be 1/3 of the way through the second paper to get full credit.
Interesting material and didactics. Not difficult to pass as long as you complete the four assignments.
Professor Keating's PSY2012 class is an easy A. Just write 10 short psychology-related papers and you're good to go! No exams, no stress. Unstuck study was a great study tool alongside the free textbook. Would take again.
