She is a very effective teacher.
She is sometimes hard to understand, but always willing to repeat and very helpful with concepts. She has a very dry sense of humor and tries to make class fun. She refers to her students as her "children" and makes you feel that she truly cares about your success. She is very knowlegable and intelligent. Do homework and you will do fine!
Mrs. Keelin is a great lab instructor and cares a great deal about her students. She is always willing put in the extra time so her students understand the material.
very very good-----Mrs Keelin is very upbeat and teaches with a lot of conviction. She always has a smile and a positive outlook---which makes an interesting class
Mrs. Keelin seems to enjoy having her students learn. She does well at explaining what needs to be done, and will take time to explain is the student does not understand.
Mrs. Keelin is an excellent teacher for Microbiology Lab. She is very precise and makes sure that you understand what she is telling you, before she moves on so you don't miss any steps. If you miss one step, you can get really behind. She is very knowledgable on her subject and will always give you an answer to your question, whatever it is.Thanks
keelin is very helpful in class, she has a great sense on humor and she really seems to care about her students
Mrs Keelin is a very knowledgeable teacher. She loves teaching, you see that with her positive attitude and smile. I am hard of hearing and have had a difficult time picking up all the verbal instruction but Mrs Keelin has been very patient and has given me extra help. And I thank you
Ms Keelin has the patience of Mother Theresa with those students who really care about learning in this class. She will go the extra mile for those that are genuinely interested in doing great in the class. If you really listen to her and follow her directions you will leave that class accomplishing both her goal and yours. We are her legacy.
The point is that she is really compassionate and she is pretty lenient also. But she is too freaking fast and sometimes she gives bitter comments which I felt as insulting students in front of class. But her speed must go down....Otherwise, she's good.
I liked her alot as a teacher, she was fast but only because she was forced to be fast. If I needed help she was always happy to give it and was eager to go beyond what most teachers would consider doing.
She is a smart woman, with an amazing passion for what she does. She is caring toward her students, possesses a wonderful sense of humor and has incredible patience. If you have a teachable spirit you can learn a lot from her. Her accent is charming, but fast! Good news is she'll will repeat it over again if you didn't understand the first time.
Great teacher and really willing to help. If you need help understanding something just ask
She is good ...but it seems like she's been rating herself in this website....But whatever it is ...she is pretty good
Mrs. Keelin is an excellent teacher. It is true that she talks fast, but you get used to it, until you do just ask her to repeat, she will. Some students do seem to feel she is singling them out. If its you, just talk to her, she cares about your success and means you no harm. I recommend her, she is fair and interesting.
Micro is really her thing. She teaches it with a passion. Her accent is a bit difficult for some people, but after a while everyone gets used to it and she's patient about repeating herself when asked. Great teacher!
She is a great teacher. She doesnt single people out on purpose, she just wants you to learn and if you feel like she is singling you out then dont take it personally. She doesnt mind rerpeating things if you cant understand her due to her accent.
Ms Keelin is a great instructor, and will teach you a lot! She cares and gives many people a break and/or a second chance on things. I highly recommend her. I was not impressed when I first met her, mainly because of her accent, but it turned out I was totally wrong. I am thankful I got her.!
She's a very nice lady but very hard to understand. She will help you if you ask but the lab was hard to keep up with because of her accent. She also went a little to far in-dept into some subjects...very informative and possibly helpful later but for introA&P it was a little too much.
Mrs. Keelin makes learning A&P fun. And she genuinely cares for her students. Great at her job.
MRS.KEELIN IS AWESOME.VERY FUNNY TEACHER,AND SHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS. VERY HELPFUL IF YOU DONT KNOW SOMETHING SHE WILL DEMONSTATE IT AS SHE EXPLAIN IT TO YOU. SHE CARES ABOUT YOUR ATTENDANCE, HOW WELL YOU LEARN IN HER CLASS. I WOULD ADVISE EVERYONE TO TAKE HER CLASS.HER TEST ARE NOT HARD, IF I CAN DO IT ANY ONE CAN
AMAZING! probably one of the best teachers i've had thus far. she WILL explain every detail to you if it is unclear. if you don't get it still, stay after class and she will teach you one-on-one. she cares so much about her students. jokes around in class just to make things a little more interesting. she's the best!
Very hard to understand. She's an okay teacher, but you really need to pay attention to make sure you hear/understand her. Take someone else if you can...
She is a really helpful teacher. She will work with you if you need any help, she gives bonus question on every quiz and exams. I recommend her to anyone. Must study though, easy but hard. Its An P.
Ms. Keelin is the best! Her accent is difficult for some, but if you ask, she will repeat herself. If you don't understand her, it's because you didn't ask. You have to study, it's A&P and Micro. Who can pass those subjects without studying? She truly cares about your success in her class.
great. fun. smart. interesting. wish she taught LECTURE.
wonderful! had so much fun in class. her way of teaching is perfect gives ex. to help you remember!
I absolutely loved her!! She is the sweetest lady ever! She gives very good examples to help you understand things better. I highly recommend her for lab. She does have an accent so it can be hard to understand her sometimes but if you ask her, she would be more than happy to repeat herself. She cares greatly about your success!
Loves what she does and cares about her student's. You laugh as much as you learn. I would recommend her
I love this class! She is an amazing teacher and really does care about your success. She is a little hard to understand at first but she will repeat herself. I you have any question she will explain. Do the work and you gt the grade! Amazing teacher!!!!
Mrs Keelin has a great sense of humor and is an excellent teacher!
Always helpful. Wants you to succeed. Very understanding of extenuating circumstances. Expects attention in class. Willing to take time to re-explain anything you may have a question about.Gives you all you need to pass test. Excellent instructor. Really cares.
keelin is a great instructor. some have trouble understanding her accent, but as long as that is no hindrance, i highly recommend her whether your a type A student or not. She will work with you and ensures you KNOW the material. I would take her for every lab if i could!
Mrs.Keelin has an Enthusiasm for teaching that helps the material 'stick' in your mind.She is an Outstanding Teacher.You will want to be at every lecture.
Great instructor! Very nice! Great sense of humor. She wants students to succeed. A little hard to understand due to an accent, but she will repeat herself until you get it. Very helpful. She truly cares for her students. Be respectful, as anyone should be.
Ms. Keelin is the best! She does have an accent but if you pay attention and listen you will understand her. She wants you to do well and will repeat herself until you understand!!
She is a wonderful teacher. Makes it easy to understand and keeps class fun.
She is the Best of all the rest you have to take
It isn't that she is hard. She is just impossible. Even if there are multiple answers, yours is wrong if it's not what she has on her answer sheet. She also has an accent is hard to understand. If you take her class, always write "left" and "right" on EVERYTHING.
Great teacher! i would take her class again, she explained everything very well and was very understanding. loved her!!
Wonderful Teacher. Is from India and comes from a very different background, but it is awesome how she tries to understand our culture and language. Very sweet and funny. If you make an effort, you'll get an A. Just make sure to stop what you are doing when she is explaining the lab because she will call you out on it if you're not listening.
Ms. Keelin is a very funny teacher. I really enjoyed her class. She is a little hard to understand at first, but once you pick up on her accent, it is no problem. The examples she gave to help you learn and understand the class content were awesome. She is one of the best teachers I have had. Remember your left and rights on the quizzes. Make sure to pay attention to what she says. She will help you if you have questions. She is a fair and reasonable teacher. Colleges need more people like her.
Absolutely loved this lab! Will be taking her lab for BIOL 2402 and 2420. Very helpful, wants her students to do well, and will explain however many times she needs to for the whole class to understand. She loves teaching, and it shows!
If you have the chance take her. she gives really great examples to remember. she does have an accent, shes from India but she doesn't mind repeating herself. Gives hints for quizzes. great sense of humor
Hands down the best! She may seem very hard at first, but its only for your own good. She wants u to succeed successfully. Test are really easy she give u an review, and if you don't understand she have no problem helping you. I wish she taught more classes. I'm going to miss you!
Hands down Mrs. Keelin is the best teacher ever. You may think she is being hard on you, but it's only for your own good. She wants the best for everyone, and wants everyone to exceed successfully. Her test are easy she give you an review. She does'nt mind helping you, and will go above and beyond to make sure you understand. I will miss you!
I love Keelin!! She is a fantastic professor. I have taken her for 3 semesters for my lab sections for biology. She is sometimes hard to understand because she has a thick accent but she explains things so well and relates them to your career! I highly recommend her! She is wonderful
I love Professor Keelin. I cannot wait to take her next semester for P&A 1.
Love her! She can be blunt and rude but she means the best! I would definitely take her as much as I could!!! I'm really going to miss her lab! She's straight forward and cares about you. You have to go to class to pass!!!!
At first she came off intimidating & scary, but that changed quickly. There's no messing around in her lab. She's very clear on what she wants you to do. She does have a thick accent so sometimes it's hard to understand her. She's hilarious always had us laughing! She's extremely willing to work with anyone who needs help! Amazing teacher!
I loved Neena she cares about all of her students and wants you to pass i recommend her over any other teacher
Keelin is a great instructor, she is helpful and does her best to explain the material. I would definitely take her again and of course I recommend taking her.
Keelin is amazing! She can be a little tough on her quizzes and exams, but she TRULY cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I will be taking her for future Labs! Study and you will pass with an A, but you must put the effort in! She is so funny too. I'm normally shy in classes, but i felt super comfortable and had fun even! MUST TAKE!
Love Ms Keelin! She is a tad bit hard to understand, but she will speak slower if you have a hard time understanding! Funny, interesting, and a tough cookie sometimes. She wants you to succeed. Group projects are necessary in lab. Have your book ready. Walk around tests are simple. You just got to study. Learn your nerves first if at all possible!
Love Keelin! She is a blast! Love that she teaches in Lindale. She wants her students to succeed and do well. She goes the extra mile for her class to help them understand everything. She has amazing stories, and is a super fair grader. She made lab fun and enjoyable! LOVE HER! Take her, study, do the work, focus, and it is easy to make an A!
Mrs. Keelin is one of the best teachers, I have every had! Not only is she funny but she also cares if you make an A in the class!
She truly is an amazing woman, who cares about her students. She has her own unique way of teaching, and that was something I really enjoyed. She had her moments to make class a little fun. I would TOTALLY have her again. As long as you focus and study, she is pretty chill.
Ms. Keelin is very sweet and likes to crack jokes. Her tests start off easy and get more difficult, especially the final. She is great at drawing diagrams for you to understand better and gives you extra credit worksheets.
Mrs. Keelin was the BEST! LOVED her, she was funny and really cares about her students. She wants you to learn, and her way of teaching is very unique. I wish I could take her again.
GREAT! If you need to make a A and need extra credit she is great! She lets you know what to study and what will be on the test!
Mrs. Keelin is one of the best teachers that I have had in the biology field. Made an A in her class. It starts easy but does get difficult and you have to be pretty involved if you want to make a good grade. She's hilarious and will help if you are struggling. Would definitely take her again!
What a great professor and person in general. She breaks down concepts in ways that are easy to understand and remember. She takes the time to draw and explain things in a very clear manner. She's fun and funny and I always looked forward to her class. She genuinely cares about her students and their success. Wish I could take her for all A&P's.
Professor Keelin is very enthusiastic about her lessons. She is very helpful and she will answer any of your questions. She gives you everything you need to pass the tests. As long as you put in the time to study you will do fine. I definitely recommend her.
ALL of her slides and power points are from another professor, who also gives her recorded lectures to upload on canvas. After getting a B on my first exam I did not attend class after that. I studied on my own and passed with an A. Also, she did not give us our TOTAL average until a week before finals.
I absolutely love this teacher. She has a passion for what she does, will go in depth to explain any topic, SHE HINTS STRONGLY what will be on exams and makes associations so that you will learn the subject. She also is very hilarious, and makes inapropriate jokes sometimes. I would definately recommend her to anyone taking A&P 1.
I enjoyed Ms. Keelin's lectures tremendously! She has a way of breaking material down to help students better understand, and her analogies are hilarious! She also provides various extra credit worksheets for grades that need a boost. She genuinely wants her students to succeed and will go out of her way to help them. Wish I could have her again!
This Professor is very hard to understand because she talks way to fast and does not stay on slides long enough for you to catch any of the information. She always goes off topic in the middle of telling you something important and doesn't stay on the same topic all the time. she is very confusing and her tests are extremely hard, do not go w/lectu
She was very hilarious and I did enjoy her lectures. I could follow her lectures but was confused over what would be covered over the test and some information was not very clear over what she expected or wanted. Difficult class and I would not take her again but she was not the worst professor I have had.
Ms. Keelin truly cares about her students. She's a busy lady, so you'll have to remind her sometimes of your situation but she is very flexible when working with her students as long as you're courteous and polite. She's so stinking hilarious which is hard when it comes to a subject like A&P. Her silly stories really help you remember the material.
Cant understand her she talks and teaches to fast Gets off of topic fast
She is explains stuff well when she does explain but thats very rare. She goes past slides way to fast so you can hardly write whats on the slide but she does post the power points online for you to go back and look. She has a very very very thick accent and half the time I dont know what shes saying.
I couldnt hardly understand a word she said and she also seemed to act like she was above everyone else
Can not understand a word she says. Was not helpful and would not recommend.
I have her for study hall (cap) she is awesome if I have a problem with my classes she will help out. U just have to talk to her
Ms. Keelin was a great teacher! Her lectures covered the material for the tests and she even told us which questions would be asked. She did have an Indian accent, but it was easy to adapt to it. Please attend lectures and take notes! She provides study material online. She is approachable and communicates well.
I had to hunt to even find her name! Very un-accessible. Would NEVER recommend her.
She is awesome! Professor Keelin will make you laugh so hard, which in this class is really great. She gives insightful information about the topic but the best part is that she would tell stories related to the subject that when testing later on helped my recall substantially. She is very knowledgeable and knows what she is talking about!
She is a good professor but i feel like she is not the right one for me. I just couldn't really understand how to study for her test and it frustrated me. She cares about her students and works with you the best she can. she provides good examples to help you remember the material and she draws ALOT so bring colors with you to class.
This was a required course for BIOL-2401, and it consisted of McGraw smartbook work. It can be time-consuming but it is an easy 100.
Mrs. Keelin is very creative in her teaching. She goes above and beyond. She highlights and focuses on the important things we need to study on the PowerPoint presentations. She gives extra points and truly cares about you succeeding. She is very honest and very clear with her material and testing techniques. She was the most exciting class I took.
This professor is very rude and disrespectful. She believes she is superior to her college students. She lacks communication skills and does not believe respect goes both ways
Tests were very unorganized and out of order. Powerpoints were changed days before the exam. Material was added days before the exam. She has a thick accent, which is hard to understand, especially when she talks fast and low. The study guides are not any of the material that will be on the test. Speaking up changes nothing.
I honestly do not understand why some people have bad things to say about Mrs. Keenlin. She is very helpful in both lab and lecture! She is the reason why I am passing. Do not judge someone based one there thick accent, if you dont understand ask her to repeat!
I had Mrs. Keelin for CAP and I'd say she is the best. She really cares about her students and will help you study. I would go to CAP to study for lab but sometimes I'd ask her questions about lecture.
Very helpful thoughtful and encouraging! Ms Keelin provided resources and hands on learning tools. Highly recommended going to the cap room weekly
My experience with Ms. Keelin comes from the CAP tutoring service and I am truly glad I took advantage of that resource! She gives great tips on how to learn so students are able to learn and retain information quicker. She made sure to check her students to ensure we were staying on track with assignments.
She's sweet, but I just didn't feel like she had her student's best interest at heart. Throughout the semester, she was frequently on her phone, talking with other staff, or occupied with personal tasks instead of helping students. When I asked questions, the support was inconsistent and sometimes stopped midway because she got distracted.
I had difficulty understanding her communication at times. There were also occasions when instructional materials, such as modules, were not made available when needed. she stated she did not want to retrieve them or put them away afterward. This created barriers when trying to study or prepare effectively.
