She explains everything very clearly, and takes a lot from the book, so it's easy to keep up in class. She goes over tests and papers in class, and if you have any questions after she'll stay and answer them. Awesome class! I definitely recommend it. Just be sure to do your work and hand it in on time.

She is very nice. Her class is not hard at all. Prepare one political question before class and read the book, and you'll be fine. Good luck she is cool. :)

Great teacher, the first day of class she makes you feel welcome. Very understanding, and explains everything clearly. I highly reconmmend her.

She is a very good tecaher. Clear explanations, punctual, and stimulating. Attend classes, read the book, ask questions, and you will be fine.

This class is easy. Come everyday with a written question and you'll be fine. Her tests are ok. Didn't really study for them, but managed to pass. Her lectures are kind of boring unless you're into political science. Take her if you're ok with a B or a C without effort.

She is such a good lecturer. I'm not interested in politics but she makes the material easy to understand and remember. Compared to many other instructors at CCSF, I really think she should be teaching at a university.

She is a great instructor, very clear, and well-educated. I had no idea or interest about politics but now I am and you learn so much in during her lectures. You should definitely take her class. Great Teacher!!!

Very good teacher. The best I have had a city so far. Political Sciences can be a pain but she makes it interesting.

Keenan always starts off class with the last thing she talked about from the previous class.. she base her class a lot on current events.. her midterm and final are both very easy, everything on the exams were from the lecture.. Take Her!!

EASY? NO, I Do NOT think she is easy. She is tough yet she's being very helpful! This perhaps makes one feel easy.

Keenan is very nice but grades a bit too hard. She's helpful but tests are very difficult. I had to work so hard to get my A-. But she's fair, my efforts paid off.

She spends the entire class time lecturing. She writes outline notes on the board that make it easy to follow her lectures. If you show up, take notes and actually listen to the class, you'll do just fine. Tests are based specifically on her lectures and she even tells you exactly what will be covered.

She knows American Government like the back of her hand. Super nice, but teaches straight out of the book. Like theoretical mechanics of our government.

One of the best teachers at City College! She's very dedicated to teaching and makes sure that everyone understands the materials. It's true that she teaches mostly out of the book, but this is good--in fact, it is extremely helpful because it strengthens my understanding. In fact, she incorporates real life cases in the class! Excellent teacher!!

She is super smart and very interesting. This is an EASY class. However, I often find myself frustrated because she can get a little hostile with students sometimes and is very, very disorganized. Good luck getting any papers or tests back from her!

Interesting class and Ms. Keenan lectures clearly. Her tests are based on lectures and the book. However, getting papers and TESTS back is very frustrating. Our class is still waiting on our test back after 3 1/2 weeks. We have heard many promises and excuses BUT STILL NO TEST. Ms. Keenan is organized in lectures but AWFUL in giving back work!

Ms. Keenan is just a great teacher! No problem with hw & late return of test. Her students' understanding of the American government and political system would be better than other professors'. Other teachers overly focus on specific issues or current evetns; while Ms. Keenan's lectures balance both! She treats everyone, ESL etc w/ respect & equall

I loved this teacher. Her lectures were amazing. She kept my attention the entire time. She's brilliant and she makes the class interesting. Because of her I learned so much.

Ms Keenan is the best teacher I took from at CC so far. She treats everyone equally with respect. She doesn't not practise favoritism. Very fair and helpful to us. Bill of Rights and Checks/Balances, I have a good understanding of them now. You need to attend class regularly, do your homework-easy, prepare for the exam. That is all. Great class!

Great lecturer, but as others have said, very disorganized. Attend her class, do the work, moderately easy A.

Ms Keenan is a good teachers that gives interesting lectures and keeps u updated on current political events. The class is not easy and u have to work for your grade, but if u're hardworking enough, u can do it. The only negative is that it takes her months to grade our papers or tests.

Easy. Show up, listen to the lectures, study the chapters she assigns for tests - get an A. The teaching style is a little too high school/rudimentary for me, but, I'm already fairly knowledgeable on the material. Everything is over-explained, but that's good for anyone looking to learn American politics from the ground up. Highly recommended!

I think she is a good teacher and I got a C in her class, and I have no idea I got a C, maybe I suck.....anyway, discuss a lot in class and read her note and write some professional questions which are due beginning of the class,you will do fine....

Her class is not hard.Attendence is mandatory, cz you need to turn in a question everyday to gain your grades. 3 written assignment overall, longest one is 3 pages. No trick question on test, all in your notes. Provide 10+ Xtra credit(test is 100). Read book only if you don't understand.I only review keyterms in the text book.

Okay, so...I like her. I think it's a really good basic American Government course. Tests are super-easy...I just studied notes and key terms in text and scored over a 100. She is pretty scattered though and is as bad at returning things as other people said, but all in all this class was good and she knows what she's talking about.

Dr. Keenan is great. There are no surprises. Read the book. Attend class. Pay attention. Easy A. She's smart (she IS an attorney, after all), has a good sense of humor, and is about the friendliest professor I've ever had. I highly recommend her.

Great Teacher, read the books and come to every section of the class, because that's what in your test.10-15 extra credit points for each test. Fair grader.Highly recommended!Take her.

she is excellent.Ms Keenan discuss the current event and book's topic all the time.She speaks very fast but clearly.For the foreign student,u may hv to read the book hard in order to understand the topic.The test is based on the notes/bk.If u read book/note, u can get high scores n the extra credit is strict forward.She is the best teacher in ccsf

I learned a lot in the class but we had to turn in a question of the day in the beginning of the class which I thought was annoying. And everytime I was REALLY sick, she refused to take my current event even though I called early in the morning to let her know. Overall, the class wasn't bad. 2-3 hw assignments, 3 exams and the current events.

She's is one of my favorite teachers EVER. If you don't understand the reading, it's okay because she goes over it in class. She has easy and clear notes on the board and explains them. Turn in your daily questions/homework, take good notes and you'll get an A! For test, relook at the vocab in book. She likes to put those on exams!

She's a very sweet person, and she's smart too. The class is usually full of idiots so she lessens the workload to suit their needs.

Easy A! She usually adds between 10-15% credit per midterm. I never thought that I would be interested in politics. I like how she starts the class with all these announcements. I wasn't even aware of all these events in campus before I took her class. Overall, great teacher!!

She is kind and willing to help students if they ask for help. Her lectures make the material very easy to understand. The reading in the textbook is very interesting. I gained an interest in PoliSci from this class. She is great at explaining current events in the field. Tests are easy if you study- scan tron and short written answers.

she is a easy teacher. also, it is super easy to get an A in her class. she is a nice teacher. there are also extra credits in exams. also, homework is super easy,and you just need to prepare one question every day. I love her teaching. it is clear. and write down all the terms on the board, and you should be fine

great and nice teacher!! this class is relatively easy to get an A. we have extra credit page on every single exam (2 mids 1 final) and each page worth at least 10 points. that means, u gotta try pretty hard not to pass the course. write a questions everyday and 3 hw assignments total throughout the course. This teacher is highly recommended.

She makes learning about American Government exciting because she uses current events to explain our system. Her lectures are clear, but if you don't understand the book or lecture, she'll spend time with you to help you understand it. She makes errors on exams and had been hostile when students told her that a test question is unclear.

good teacher... gives plenty of examples

if u need to take poli sci 1 get her as your professor super easy i got a 105 out of 100 on the second midterm

she is a good teacher, very easy to understand. She is a little boring but she knows her stuff.

I must say that Ms. Keenan gives the clearest, most succinct explanation of the American political system I've heard. She gives copious notes on the board, and makes her expectations very clear. As long as you pay attention, and turn in the assignments, you should have no trouble getting an A. Grades are 75% test scores, 25% homework.

ihave anyone notice that she's always in class? she hasn't taken a single day off from class throughout the semester.lol. i can never skip her class b/c of that.

I was very excited to take this class and left disappointed. It was too easy. I feel that I learned very little from lectures as most of them were an overview of the texts main points. If you actually care about Political Science... Take Schubert.

I don't know what class some of these people took - she was awesome, through, clear and kept me very interested in class and in showing up for class

she might be just one of the best professors in city college. she is Very smart and keen! 2hour class time with ZERO off topics or any distractions. Straight forward teaching style with clear explanations and responsible for students. I really enjoyed taking her class and actually learned quite a bit. highly recommended!

Ms. Keenan is just awesome. I enjoyed her class the most so far! It's been very interesting and she ow teach and keep students on it. I like her personally and professionally. Easy A if you listen to her, which isn't hard!

Not a great class, not a bad class. Just a class. Your grade is based on 25 political questions and 3 exams, one after every four chapters. If you fail, it's because you're not trying.

Took the same class as the reviewer that had the student from hell. Couldn't stand the kid since he was so full of himself and ran his mouth nonstop. The class wasn't anything too special. Not hard and not easy, just do well on tests and submit questions everyday.

her exams are straight foward

She makes everything so simple. 2 midterms and a final, all based on notes she gives in class.

I got a F on my midterm, but I got a B on my final. Her exams are straightforward from the notes and lecture. And also just submit your question!

This professor is very knowledgeable.She gives students much needed breaks like DO political questions,but be through when answering the Written PArt.I earned a B in the class,but I read the whole book too or annotated it and asked questions in class.Don't take her too early during the day.Great Style and enthusiastic lectures.Stay Awake and LEARN!

Monotonous = Boring lectures and no exciting class discussions. She's disorganized and is not punctual. Two midterms and a final. Exams are straightforward being that it is 95% based off her notes except she's a picky grader every now and then. If you like boring classes, go for it. Just get the notes and turn in your questions.

Kimberly is very clear and concise with her lectures. She often over-emphasizes her lecture material, which is not bad, but sometimes ad nauseum (ok, we get it already?!). Her lectures are dry, she most likely will not remember your name due to overly large class sizes. 99% is pure lecture, 0.1% is group activity. Takes role everyday.

Her lectures are interesting. She simplifies the subject as much as possible, so any one can understand it without prior knowledge of U.S. government. Her tests are from the lectures and 1 or 2 questions from the book. She gives extra credit. She made mistakes when grading exams, so always double check what she marks wrong.

I like that she uses real court cases to help us learn about our government and how laws are passed. She goes over the textbook. She simplifies the material as she knows that everyone is not familiar with our government system and laws. I highly recommend her. She's irritatable if she is annoyed with unexpected office visits, so call in advance

personally I think she is on o THE BEST teachers at city. reason being? she explain everything with detail AND gives legit examples. She talks about relevant topics in class. The fact that she doesn't base the txtbook as much in her class lectures is a PLUS for me!

She is very helpful lectures are crystal clear. If you take good notes in class and read the chapter you will be fine. 25% of your grade is a political science question you turn in every class. That can really help bring up your grade by a whole letter.Highly recommend you will learn alot and because she makes it interesting you will likely do well

Awesome class. Ms. Keenan is passionate about politics and goes over each chapte extremely well. There isn't any homework, and the in-class notes more than help out for test prep, but reading the book is advised. All in all, great class.

PROS: 1) Interesting lectures [NOTE: Her class was so interesting that I chose to become a paralegal.] 2) lectures on current U.S. history 3) She tries to make time for students outside of her office. 4) She simplifies her lectures. CONS: 1) She sometimes gets irritated when she is asked to clarify things. 2)she can be vague.

Great teacher who thoroughly goes over the reading material.Explains very clearly any questions you have related to politics. The political questions were a pain but definitely boosts up your grade so make sure to do it! Tests were tricky at times so make sure to go over notes! Talked about current events and real life cases which is awesome!

She's hard on grading. Other than that, she's a good teacher.

Her lectures were very interesting and I learned a lot of things though her tests were difficult.

I think she is good at teacher. She writes on the board, and you just copy the notes. When the tests come, just study the notes and learn the vocab in the textbook. There is homework every class meeting, but it's easy: just think of questions to ask her.

She is a wonderful teacher and if you pay attention and take notes on her lectures the class is fairly straightforward. I enjoyed her class and she truly spoiled our class with her wealth of information on the various subjects.

Its just the basic american government class, easy homework, easy grading, relaxed. Take notes and study them you will do great.

The teacher is a little bit slow in grading, but she generously grades to pull the total grades up if necessary to get A.

I screwed my first exam, then I tried really hard for the second midterm and I can get a full score. She offers extra-credits. She teaches everything that you need for the examination. What you need to do is to jot good notes, and you will be fine.

Professor Keenan really knows what she is talking about when it comes to politics. The class is easy as long as you takes notes and simply review the book before the tests. She wants you to learn. Usually late to class, moves kinda slow w/ material, but the best thing about her is she is not bias in her view whatsoever which made me appreciative

She's extremely knowledge and experienced in her field. She makes political science very clear and easy to understand. Classes are 99% lectures but she uses many examples and is always willing to go back and clarify. Attendance isnt mandatory but you probably won't pass if you skip class. Some of her homework is due right at the start so be on time

Professor Keenan's teaching method is really easy and clear. She has a lot of knowledge and she tells political stories in the history or brings specific examples which make the subject very clear. Her exams sound hard, but are not usually out of what she talked about. I still have the political knowledge that she taught us and I enjoy it.

Takes time grading the tests. Had two midterms and a final. Make sure to study definitions and charts in the book. I didn't really read it - only studied these things. She is nice, very straightforward, makes sure you have her lectures in your notes. You'll have to study both, the book and the notes for the tests as well as the current events. G.L.

Mrs Keenan is not just a professor she was a great person. I m an international student , I took her class in 2016. I am not good at memorizing stuffs but the way this professor teach is very interesting and let you get all the material in class. To review for tests you just have to pass over the notes taken in class and you will get your A. THANKS

Ms. Keenan is an amazing professor who is passionate about teaching. She has an easy to understand teaching style, and is concise. No pop quizzes, no busy work. Reading the text outside of class is important, so you will have to do more than just show up. But you are sure to learn a lot. Highly recommended.

Attendance is important as she goes over what will be on the test and teaches you on all the chapters. She has notes for her lectures. You must read the chapters, notes, and current events. She grades on two midterms, the final, and several writing assignments.

Professor Kimberly Keenan is very knowledgeable and makes it easy for you to follow along. However, 25% of your grade is midterm #1, 25% midterm #2, 25% your final, and the last 25% is daily questions. If you take good notes on her lectures and study I am sure you will do great! She made me love political science

her class was a 3 unit class and she gave me more reading, and more work than my English 1B class! honestly, I hope she reads this and slows down a little. I struggle a lot with her class and it was supposed to be "an easy" class for being just 3 unit.

weekly discussions and papers that were relatively straight forward. she actually explains topics very well, and helped me gain a better understanding of the american government. also offers xc essays. occasional quiz but very easy. clear expectations and rubric. would take again if needed. show up to zoom and put effort into work good time.

Very good teacher. I had hard assignments at times but Professor Keenan was very fair and gave me feedback to let me know what I did wrong.

I learnd a lot from Professor Keenans class. However, I feel she could have made video lectures instead of just posting written lectures, especially considering the heavy load of reading and essays each week. Nevertheless, I enjoyed her class, learned a lot and am forever grateful.

Professor Keenan runs a challenging but rewarding class. Lots of weekly assignments, but she explains topics well. I found unstuck ai and ChatGPT helpful for prepping. Attend class, do the work, and you'll gain a solid understanding of American government.
