So easy, so funny.
HE is funny, all of his quizes and tests (2) are take home, you do them at home and fill it in the scantron in class. He is extremely easy, but you learn alot from him! best teacher ever!
Tests are 100 multiple choice and can be tricky. Do the take-home quizes and the envirn. scans and that will help. He hates when people walk in late and talk in class. He's funny and likes to tell stories.
Very cool guy, knows his stuff and teaches it well. The class is not hard at all
He is the best teacher in the marketing department. You learn so much from him. His papers are easy and he is an easy grader. Don't miss the day before the midterm or the final because he tells you exactly what he will test you on!
Two exams that are 100 multiple choice questions and can be tricky. He is soo funny .. becareful don't be late cause he might just lock you out!
very easy, very funny. one of my favorite.
Very easy teacher, all the quizzes are take home and the midterm and final are based off all the quizzes. He gives a review sheet for the tests and is really funny.
Great teacher, very clear on the material and a great sense of humor.
Great teacher! Explains everything. Very funny. Take home quizes and no group project.
Easy prof. Explains everything. Their are take home quizes which r easy, and the exams are MCQ and their are several repeat questions from the quizes. Grades fair.
Hilarious. And he's a good teacher, too. Goes over everything that will be on the final in class or with the take home quizzes.
funny guy, but please don't be late, interrupt, or walk out on him or else he gets mad. but overall very funny guy, easy going, take home quizzes, 2 e-scans. i recommend him!
2 Tests that are similar to the take home quizzes Really easy grader. If you do really well on the first exam, quizzes and e-scans you may be excused from taking the 2nd Exam!
Fantastic class! His jokes are pretty funny and keep you paying attention. Study guide is exactly what's on the exam. Don't blow off the study guide. It looks like just an outline of what's in the book, but it's exactly what's on the exam! Take him!!!!!!
Cool teacher! Jokes are hillarious! Fair grader.
He is an ideal professor. I am so glad I got to take his class. He grades really fair and you will learn a lot. He is my favorite professor by far!
Great teacher! Take him and you will get a good grade, plus learn a little here and there.
He is a very good teacher, you can get learn and good grade both.
very little course work, and lectures are not only informative but funny as well
Awesome!
Apparently his syllabus and attitude has changed this quarter. LOTS of reading and writing. and is a very hard grader.
TOO HARD!!!
impossible to pass
This teacher is constantly putting people on the spot... and for those of you that are shy it will be very embarrasing. Lots of reading and writing,tests are almost impossible to pass. Better take Professor Kemp!

Very easy coursework. Take home quizzes and two mini papers. Mid term and final are challenging but if u listen in class and take notes, you'll be fine. Good teacher
Gotta love old man O'Keefe. Interesting and funny professor. Not too much coursework and a pretty valuable little class. You're sure to get a laugh out of him, just don't be late for class or talk during his lectures.
Best Marketing teacher on the planet, two papers, Two Test's, and 6 take home quizes....its a walk in the park just listen to his class lectures and you will get an A
Definitely a hilarious professor. The take home quizzes help prepare you for the midterm and final exams. There are two environmental scans that need to be done, but can definitely help boost your grade. The midterm and final are a little challlenging, but come to class and take good notes.
very boring...very easy..couple take home quizes..2 exams...pretty easy. not hard at all. i hardly went to class and got an A
Dr. O'keefe is great! His class can be boring at times and he'll jap out if you fall asleep. He gives useful information that you'll see again. There are take home quizzes that completely prepare you for the 2 exams. The exams are a little tricky, but 'if it's on it, he said it.' One of the best...
Professor O'Keefe is a good professor. Yea, sometimes the class gets a bit boring, but its a rather easy class. 5 take home quizzes, a midterm final and 2 environmental scans. His lectures can be funny at times. I'd definitely take him again.
Nice professor; pay attention to his lectures and transparencies in class; most of your notes will come from the book. Just show up to class on time, take good notes and you'll get an A
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT.
Great class! O'keefe is awesome - he makes class fun, but pay attention or he will call you out on it - a bunch of take home quizzes, 2 major exams, straight from studying the book and the take home quizzes - i enjoyed going to his class, it was never a drag and he make it fun - take him!
One of THE easiest teachers i've ever had. Although be warned this is primarily a lecture class, you should be in class to be on his good side. Midterm review given, Final was take home. Other then that he gives one paper to write, which is 2pages long. Easy A. BTW I took this over the summer.
Ok. This guy is very boring and gives the longest lectures ever. He really doesn't look for students to participate, but yells at them if you sleep or talk. He goes off a powerpoint every class period. The midterm and final are a 100 question multi-choice format. There are five quizzes and he drops the lowest one. They are take home> take him
I would recommend taking this guy for any Marketing class. His lectures are really boring and he has mood swings like it is his job. His class is really easy though. Not hard to do good in this class just do the take home quizzes and enviornmental scans and you will be fine.
Hes pretty easy overall. His lectures are long and boring. It's like he's talking to himself throughout the entire class, without any input from students. But, his examples are clear and to the point. I would definitely take him again. Pretty cool and easy.
Best teacher at DePaul by far. He is very organized, knows his stuff, and uses outside examples to show how marketing effects business. I thought he was great and a fair grader too. Although, I am a marketing major so I found this class interesting.
Extremely boring lectures, definately plays favorites, tests are somewhat challenging, 2 papers are extremely simple and everyone gets an A on them and take home quizes every week saved my grade, have to put in effort to do well on the exams and try not to fall asleep every class like I almost did
This teacher is awesome. He is so easy. Take home quizes and multiple choice tests. He jokes alot. As long as u dont interupt his lectures, he is very nice. Easy teacher and his class is great for naps!!
The class is really boring, he just reads powerpoint slides for the whole 90 minutes, every class. Do NOT make a peep in his class and try to look interested in what he is saying otherwise he will call you out on it. has mood swings like it's nobody's business and snaps at the smallest sh*t but jokes around every once in a while too. easy class
An easy A, but he's a powerpoint teacher and a blatant favoritist...get on his good side early and you're golden.
He doesn't give A's for free but they aren't hard to earn. Just a couple of papers that aren't hard and a few quizes that are all take-home quizzes. Keeps class pretty interesting, I would recommend him.
He does not engage the class. Lectures are 2hrs of reminiscing old business week articles. Good for an overview course but really a big snoozefest. P.S. The book's website provides chapter quizzes which are remarkably similar to the questions on the class quizzes and tests.
So boring and not interested in us personally.
He's a great professor! Very clear. Always avaliable during office hours and will make an appt with you if times conflict. He's exams are straight forward. The assignemnts are simple and fun to do. The quizes are take home for the most part. summer sesssion takes him their finals unlike fall, winter, and sring sessions
Such a good prof. Teaches off slides and videos but quizes are all take home and the tests are really easy. He is also hilarious and keeps the class intrested by telling stories. Warning though do not be late for class and always act like your paying attention or he'll call you out in front of the class.
I wouldn't recommend taking him, he's not very helpful and unfair grader...
He really doesn't care much for this students...but the class isn't so bad wouldn't take him again
He's a little boring but a good teacher. Two reports about two pages long. No homework. Take home quizzes ( do them all easy credit) Shows videos sometimes. Midterm/final require studying
Great Teacher. Easy class. Homework is fairly easy. Read the book and you will get an A in the class. Lecture notes are based of the book.
His experience in both the marketing & teaching worlds shows. He is a pretty easy going man as long as students respect him. Pay attention & act interested; you will be almost guaranteed an A. However, talk during class or show up late; he will call you out. He gives a lot of extra credit in addition to 4 quizzes, 2 papers, midterm & final.
Extremely boring, makes coming to class difficult. Teaches from power point. I would not take him again, he also likes to call his students out in front the the class, especially if you have been absent or late
He is an amazing professor. Lectures are boring, but he does show movies. Very caring about his students, gives 2 easy papers, 5 take home quizes. He gave us the final as a take home exam as well. Does not grade hard.
He is the best teacher i have ever seen, he made the final take home which helped almost everybody and got an "A".do this following thing you and you should be fine...read chapter, slide, attain every class, do the extra credit, and do the papers-easy points.tests are extremely hard...final is sometimes take home
Endorsed! He is a true businessman and real leader as well. He doesn't give a damn about what you feel because he is not your nanny, instead he tells you what you have to know to be valuable in the world of business. Get used to it! If you don't like it maybe you should start painting, become a yoga teacher or something in this area. Good Teacher!
very good teacher, but a tough old man who teaches u in a real world way. recommend to take him!
Txtbook not necessarily required for the class. O'Keefe teaches from PPs which differ from the ones he posts on BB. Extremely boring classes as he only talks to the people in the front row and students he knows. Quizzes are a joke but the exams are not.
The midterm was 100 questions. (less than a min per question) Most of the topics were not talked about in class or book. One question asked what the award in Japan for some American, unrelated to MKT. Agreed, this guy doesn't care about the students and in facts looks to set them up to fail. Pick another MKT Prof!!! BEWARE OF THIS PROF.
This Prof. makes you want to avoid marketing. The concepts are easy and he makes them impossible. I'm a straight A student and received a D on his midterm. Out of 45 students 1 got an A. She swears and is negative the entire class. He is very offensive and doesn't care about the students. The guy below had it right, FIRE his butt.
I took him because I read a great ratings about him. He talks all the time, has problems with hearing so people have to scream to him. Besides, he talks about the real world which is good, but then gives us the midterm created by the department. Please, 100 questions and all of them unrelated to what he was talking about. WORST EVER!!!
The class is all lecture and MidTerms and Final are 100 questions. Make sure you study the book chapters and you will be fine. The Professor is a good and fair grader. If you show up to the class do your best and talk to him when you need help he will understand.
I really enjoyed this class and professor. You must work a little, but there are no surprises. Take home quizzes, two reports, and two tests with automatic 10 pt E.C.. He may seem rude sometimes but only to the people who seem to deserve it. Other than that he has great stories, opinions, and fairly laid back professor with much knowledge.
took the class in summer, 10 quizzes (all take home) 2 reports (if you do the report exactly like the sample he gives you in terms of format not content you will get full credit) midterm 100 ques real hard and long 10 pts extra credit. FINAL WAS TAKE HOME...super easy course!
Don't be afraid to take him cuze of the two ppl who have him all 1's hes not bad at all like 8 take home quizes two reports and final and mid term...just go to class and try to relate to the material because the final and midterm covers everything. basically have to study for like 2 weeks out of the 10...Take him!!!!
Great guy! HYSTERICAL, great stories. Don't show up late or talk during class and you'll be just fine. Easily one of my favorite professors!
He is a great guy! Don't show up late, text, or talk during class and you will be golden. As long as you are a respectful person, he will be just as respectful back to you. He is very seasoned in the marketing field, so pay attention. Studying is required along with two case analyses. I highly recommend anyone, marketing major or not, to take him!
Professor O'Keefe is a great professor. Mind you, his lectures can be a bit boring and dry but I would highly suggest you read before the class because his lecture and powerpoints will make more sense. The 2 case analysis are easy. Gives 5 quizzes, 1 EC all from the book and lecture. Midterm and Final 100 points each based on study guides.
Take home quizzes, 100 pts midterm (hard), take home final, 1 easy paper, 1 group paper, given for the first time. To all the comments bellow, yes he mentioned the midterm questions in his lectures. They just didn't listen. I didn't buy the book, but it is a little bit time-consuming to google the answers for the quiz and the final. TAKE HIM!
he tells funny jokes and is approachable. do not wear hats!(he hates it when he sees anyone wearing them in class), no texting!he will call u out..midterm is hard so go over ppts, book is not needed! final is a a no-brainer, this class will boost ur gpa
5 take home quizzes. Final is take home. Midterm wasnt too bad if you looked over the powerpoints. One easy paper and one easy group project. Not too hard to get an a. Definitely recommend.
Professor O'Keefe admittedly is very boring, but the class is pretty easy. There are 5 quizzes, a midterm, 2 easy papers/analyses, and a take home final. The midterm was the hardest part of the class, but I probably should have studied more. Take him definitely.
He is so boring. Everything is open book take home except for the mid term, so that's the only thing you have to study for. Try to take this class with people you know because there is a group assignment at the end of the quarter, and you don't want to get stuck with idiots like I did.
Professor O'Keefe is the man. My favorite line I have ever heard from everyone came from O'keefe: "I wish we could take our shoes off, sit in a circle, sip international coffee and talk about our feelings, but this isn't gender studies." Interesting class (however sometimes dull), not that hard and a great professor. Take him.
I was recommended by many to take O'Keefe because of his take home midterm and final. However, this year both exams were in class, and difficult! I studied like I would have for any other class and ended up with a C+. He does not care about the material or his students. Better to be in a harder class with a professor who actually cares.
HE IS SO BORING. Half the time he just reads from the PowerPoint (but doesn't project it because he forgets) so you have no idea what he's talking about. If you look around the classroom either people are sleeping or working on papers for other classes. STAY AWAY.
no take home final. boring. stay away. very far away
So incredibly boring! Not clear on assignments. I did not listen in any of the classes. Do not bother getting the book. I learned nothing, but still got a high B on the midterm without studying. Passable without doing much work, but you will not be prepared for higher level marketing classes.
One of the worst professor I've had at DePaul. He doesn't do anything to interest you in the class. No need to buy the book since he posts all of the slides on D2L. He needs to rethink how to teach MKT 301 and how to divide the points in the projects. Super boring, most of the time everyone was doing something other than paying attention.
He makes this class really boring. There is an individual assignment, group project, mid-term, and final. There are also assessment quizzes on the mid-term and final. He doesn't give out take home final like people said. This class isn't hard though if you read through the powerpoints. Everyone relied on him giving the take home final.
Like the other reviews, he is extremely boring. If you're lucky he'll crack an inappropriate joke or two. Talks the entire time from the powerpoints. Don't even bother buying the book or the MyLab, didn't even touch it. Everything is clear on what to expect and no surprises on the final. Quizzes are on the final so memorize them.
