This lady is awesome! She's really passionate about her class and is very approachable. I highly recommend for literature class
Professor Keehn is so wonderful. She has the best sense of humor, picks reading you might not read on your own but are greatful to have read when you are done. Do the assigned readings and you will be fine. She is really nice, genuine and easy to talk to. Be ready to analyze, analyze, analyze!!!!!
Robin is awesome. She helped me with my writing, she's very approachable, very passionate about literature, wonderful sense of humor. I say one of the best professors i've had so far.
This is the best college course I have had and Robin is the reason for that. She has raised my interest in war literature more than I thought possible.
Good teacher, she picks great readings, and listens to everyones comments and ideas about what was read.
Greatest teacher ever!
The best instructor on the campus. Interesting and interested. A gifted writer willing to share. Easy to talk to-very approachable. I wish there were more of her classes I could take.
Robin is an awesome prof-but only take this class if you are serious about writing and the teaching of writing. Be prepared to work your butt off in the writing center!
Great Prof. Very easy to learn from and makes class entertaining and engaging without being touchy feely and cliche.
Robin Keehn ROCKS!! By far my most interesting and engaged professor; loves her work; knows how to teach; keeps the class interested. Good sense of humor, great listener and brings personality to school work. Be prepared to be challenged and grow.
Has to be one of the best professors on campus. She's entertaining, friendly, and is passionate about writing. Makes class enjoyable and cares about students digging deep. This class teaches you a lot about yourself.
Dynamite prof. The single best english teacher I've ever had. I learned more in her 465 class than in any of my other classes. She will teach you how to write and how to enjoy it too!
Take this teacher if you want to learn and be amazed by her intelligence and personality towards life and teaching.
Dr. Keehn is by far the best teacher I have had the pleasure of learning from at this school. She is intelligent, precise, practical, and effective. She was willing to work with me when other teachers were "too busy." Take one of her classes before leaving CSUSM.
I looked forward to going to her class. Discussions are fun and entertaining. Just make sure you read.
Dr. Keehn is wonderful. She is a professor I look for when registering for classes. You will enjoy her teaching and learn a lot without realizing it.
I've always hated writing and she showed me how it can be fun.She is the best writing teacher I have ever had.If you want to become a teacher, you need to take her class!I switched my Depth of Study to writing b/c I realized how important it is to be able to write.She walks you through everything, helps out those in need, & loves her job.Take her!
committed compassionate competent
TAKE HER! SHE'S AWESOME! HER CLASS ISN'T REALLY REALLY EASY, BUT ITS NOT HARD AT ALL. GO TO CLASS. SHE'S FUN TO TALK TO. SHE ALWAYS HAS CRAZY STORIES ABOUT HER FAMILY. THE STORIES THAT WE READ IN CLASS ARE INTERESTING. DO NO PLAGIARIZE SHE WILL CATCH YOU! only 2 papers, midterm, final project, and final
Awesome class! Dr. Keehn is the best there is! Go to class, do the readings, talk, do the papers, and you will do great. Short Story paper, Poetry paper, Final Project, midterm and final. Gives questions for final ahead of time. Awesome class, LOVED going. Dr. Keehn is funny and down to earth. TAKE THIS CLASS!
Dr. Keehn is my favorite Lit department professor. I can't wait to take another one of her classes. She is extremely helpful and supportive of creativity. Be sure you read whatever she assigns!
I really enjoyed this class. The class was actually fun and i didnt mind going. She is very fun to talk to. Class discussions. Do the reading and you will be golden. 2 or 3 papers, midterm and final which she gives you the criteria of what will be on them. AWESOME teacher! I hope to get her for upper division. She knows her stuff
Great teacher. Best teacher I've had so far. She made our critical thinking class interesting and fun. I looked forward to going to class. Take her.
Fantastic teacher. One of my favorites I've had so far! I looked forward to coming to her class -- we had great class discussions, read interesting material, and Dr. Keehn is hilarious. She greatly encourages creative writing -- even the shocking and risque. I have her to thank for improving my writing.
Im not a reading person but Keehn really made me want to read and become engaged in the discussions. She really makes you think about what you are reading. AWESEOME professor! she is hilarious and will make you want to come to class. I highly recommend Keehn especially if your not a Literature person.
Excellent professor. Dr. Keehn made critical thinking challenging but at the same time simple. The discussions were interesting and made it easier to understand the material.Definitely take this class to fulfill the ge requirement. She has made me wish I was a lit major so I could take another class with her.
Dr. Keehn is a gifted teacher. I loved going to her class. Great books. Great lectures and class discussions.
Dr. Keehn is my FAVORITE professor at CSUSM! She is seriously so cool and she made me really enjoy writing. This class was awesome. It's memoir writing, so it's fun and interesting. Seriously, TAKE THIS CLASS if you can! You'll love it! And you'll love Dr. Keehn!
I love this professor. Dr.Keehn is amazing and I really want to take another class with her. This was one of my favorite classes and the discussion were never boring. Doing the reading and attending class is mandatory. The class isn't too difficult but you have to put in the effort.
She is really cool as a person but she is an extremely hard grader. I never had a B in an English class until this professor. Her classes are boring and she is funny and entertaining but she doesn't have creative ways to present the material.
She is very cool as a person but her classes are boring she doesn't really teach just goes over the reading EVERY DAY. And she is an extremely hard grader. I never had a B in an English class until her.
This was my first college class and I loved it. Dr. Keehn made class time fly because she is made literature interesting. She made me love reading. Also unlike high school where I felt like I was given high grades, I earned my grades in her class. She has high standards and should because this is college!
do not take this teacher UNLESS YOU WANT THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN YOUR COLLEGE CAREER. she gave me a b BECAUSE I EARNED IT. I learned in her class that the value of my education has to do with my willingness to learn. Some of my peers dismissed her readings and advice; they walked away with unnecessary frustration. I worked hard and learned oodles.
Attention all future writers and well-rounded human beings, Keehn is an absolute requirement! She will equip you with the tools needed to be successful in school, writing and the rest of your life. She will show you how to use those tools and inspire you to build something amazing! If you don't take Keehn at least once, you missed out.
She is amazing! Super funny and is very passionate about war lit. TAKE HER!
Dr. Keehn is a really good and thorough professor but is an EXTREMELY HARD GRADER! She is very passionate about writing and being successful and she shows it through her grading process. Your papers will come back to you COVERED in notes. She is a very enthusiastic professor and if you have questions for her, just ask.
Loved this class! Dr. Keehn was my favorite professor last year. She's funny and witty, which makes the class intriguing. Do not hesitate on taking her class.
Great class. Dr. Keehn is super interesting and she made me see why literature is important. Also because she wrote so many comments on my essays she helped me to become a college level writer. I can't thank her enough!
She is the best. I never thought I would like War Lit. The class is always interesting and she is so nice.
Dr. Keehn is the greatest professor I've taken at CSUSM. She is so enthusiastic about the texts that students can't help but get in to them as well. She is absolutely hilarious, every class is different, never boring. Very helpful, always willing to talk during her office hours and after class. Taking her next semester because she's that great!!
Dr. Keehn is the best teacher I have had on this campus! She shows interest in the books we read, and helps students with anything they need. She's also very funny and makes everyone feel a part of the class. Her grading may not be easy but you learn a lot in this class!
awesome, chill, professor, she's fun and funky I loved her class she made the subject easy and fun
She was absolutely the best teacher I have ever had at CSUSM. She taught me the importance of editing my papers! Very invested in her students learning, and inspired me to care more deeply about my major in literature. I wish she taught more classes! :)
Dr. Keehn is so awesome! She may be a hard grader but it is only because she wants to see you succeed. She is a very neat lady, and a very smart lady as well! She will help you with your writing and break down the particular things you need to work on to help you. One of my favorite professors I've had at csusm.
I cannot say enough good things about her. She is amazing. She taught me so much and has officially entered the top 3 greatest professors of all time for me personally. take this class!!!
I definitely do not like writing but her class really changes your opinion on literature. She is really funny and has a great personality. Her stories are pretty funny and she absolutely cares about every student. Don't be afraid to talk to her for extra help because she does want you to succeed. Take Humor Literature!
LOVEEEEEEEE. Class was super funny (even though it was a humor class i can tell all her classes are funny because of her personality) Ask for help- extensions include. Let her know your struggles-she gets it. Highly recommend. You do need to buy all the books and take them to class. Mid term and finals are easy. Take notes!
Dr. Keehn is the funniest professor I have ever had. She is very thorough in her grading, she will read every sentence of your essay but I really appreciated her doing that because it made me a better writer. Her class was amazing. She really cares about her students. You definitely have to put effort in for a good grade but it was worth it.
Dr. Keehn loves what she does and she shows it. One would be too busy being captivated by her outgoing nature to not be interested. Her papers were tough, however, she knows exactly how to strengthen one's writing. She spends her time grading each paper, so you can rest assured the grade received is accurate. She's thought provoking.
My favorite professor and class so far here at CSUSM! Dr. Keehn is extremely helpful, funny, and approachable. You can tell she loves what she does. She gives great feedback on student papers and makes lectures (more like discussions) engaging and interesting. I hope I get to take classes with her again in future semesters!
I took her class two semesters in a row (LTWR 107 & GEW 101). I am disappointed that I will not have the chance to take a class with her next semester. She is blunt and honest, yet kind & radiates positive energy. She is funny & makes classes interesting. I went her office hours often. She happily offered tips to strengthen my writing.
I would definitely take this class again if I had the chance! I loved attending this class. She is a tough grader when it comes to essays but she tells you how she wants you to format your paper and what she expects in your paper. There were 3 essays and one mid-term and final which were a mixture of matching, multiple choice and short answer.
Dr. Keehn is an amazing teacher, just make sure to participate in class. Do the reading! She gives a quiz every day and uses that as attendance so you also have to show up on time. She gives great feedback, she'll tell you exactly what you need to work on! Hilarious, a little cooky, and very confident. Just take great notes and participate in class
Keehn is so funny and easy to talk too. You must take her class before you leave San Marcos. She's great.
She is a good professor. She grades hard and gives really good feedback on your papers. There's a lot of reading homework every night. There is a lot of work in this class but she makes it fun. She's blunt and sometimes can be rude and a little insensitive. I had a love/hate relationship with her. Her class is not easy but it is enjoyable.
Dr. Keehn made literature fun for me. She is a really great teacher and is super hilarious (and own it too). She's tough but she gives you the grade you earned and is helpful when you ask for it. If you get the chance, I recommend taking her class!
Dr. Keehn is HILARIOUS! I took her for humor and she assigns wonderful readings that you actually look forward to. Participate and do the work and you will be just fine, slack off and she will definitely take notice. I strongly suggest taking her, even if you don't need the credit!
Professor Keehn is the most inspiring literature professor I've ever had. She's so passionate about what she teaches and that means that we can have the best classroom discussions! She's tough but she's fair and you earn the grade you deserve. I highly recommend you take her.
I loved this class. Dr. Keehn creates a unique learning environment and I know that what she taught me will stay with me. You can tell that she loves her job. Take Keehn before you leave csusm!
One of my favorite teachers. She really cares for her students and it shows. Hard grader but she's very specific on what you need to work on. May seem strict at first but Dr. Keehn is actually the funniest person. She wants everyone to succeed and is always willing to help, all you need to do is ask. Very inspirational. I highly recommend her!
I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Keehn. She is absolutely hilarious and has a great sense of humor. Because of her, I am more inclined to take more Literature classes because she has inspired me to follow a path to sucess
Dr. Keehn is a tough grader on essays so beware of her grading criteria. She is very engaging in class and has some hilarious stories. She will give pop quizzes every once in a while and expects you to be prepared for class by reading the books. I wasn't too sure about her at first, because of how tough she grades, but she made me a better writer.
Dr. Keehn makes her class a fun learning environment. She is hysterical!! (One of her storie ms about her daughter had me laughing so hard that I was crying). But overall makes you work for your grade but if you show her that you care, you will do fine. She loves when you go out of your way because nothing is handed to you in life
Dr. Keehn is one of those rare professors that you will learn a lot from while truly enjoying her class. She teaches Humor for a darn good reason! Her stories are absolutely HILARIOUS, and are efficacious at getting the point of the class lesson across. *Not too much writing, but a good amount of reading *Her grading is firm, but fair
I am currently undeclared and I took Dr. Keehn's humor class as a GE. I liked it so much that now I'm in her Crit. Thinking class. She really is able to build special relationships with her students in a such a unique way. Her classes are NOT EASY but Dr. Keehn will make you a better and more inspired writer because she loves what she does.
She is definitely one of the best professors here! She typically never gives out 100 unless your work is practically flawless so you have to work for your grade! Her lectures are funny and interesting. Make sure you buy the required book for her class! IF you don't have it, then it will be extremely difficult to get an A.
Dr. Keehn is AMAZING. If you are dedicated you will forsure get a good grade. She is a really hard grader and she makes you work for an A but there is nothing more rewarding than when she approves of your work. If you want an easy A i wouldn't take her if I were you. She wants students who want to learn.
I really love this professor and one of my favorites literature instructors. She made me minored in Literature because of her class, readings, literature is essential to humanity and mostly, her stories were just incredible and beautiful to listen Make sure to follow instructions, do the readings and stay creative ;) THANK YOU professor
Took film studies because it's supposed to be an easy elective that you don't have to worry about but was basically another writing class. Tests ask for very specific answers, if you want an easy elective do not take unless you're VERY into film.
FMST300 isnt easy but it sure isnt difficult. Nearly half of the class got an A on the midterm, so I dont know how anyone could complain that the class is too hard. Plus Dr. Keehn is entertaining, shows great movies, and cares about her students. Great teacher. Great class.
This is one of the best classes I have ever taken. I would recommend it to everyone. You are guaranteed to laugh and have great discussions almost every class.
Dr. Keehn may be one of the best professors at CSUSM. So funny and inspirational. Going to her class always brightened my day. There is a decent amount of work, but it is such a fun class. Amazing person and amazing professor. 100% recommend!
This was a cool class, I found some of my favorite movies by taking this course. She is very knowledgeable and thinks highly of herself. Easy quizzes every class for attendance. Book and study guides are needed. Do not underestimate the tests or papers! Tests are hard and she is a lit professor so she is a tough grader on the essays. def recommend
I LOVE PROFESSOR KEEHN. Honestly, the best Literature and Writing professor in the department. She's a tough grader but only wants to see the best out of her students. She is by far the sweetest woman I have ever taken a class from but really pushes you to succeed. You definitely need to read the books in order to do well in this class.
My first film class was with Professor Keehn. She thinks very highly of herself but its fitting, she knows her stuff. The class is easy, credit every class normally just for being there. Two papers and two very hard tests and thats it, studying is a must. Great movie choices also!
I wish I could take more classes from Dr Keehn. I learned so much about film in such a short time. She made me want to come to class. Great teacher!
She's hilarious! This Jane Austen class will surely make you read A LOT since we read all 6 (or 7?) of her novels; gave us two weeks to read each novel and there were quizzes after each one. She is a tough grader when it comes to papers and expects quality work. She gives great feedback and is available to help.
Im currently taking this class, and Im loving it. Dr Keehn is super funny but she also takes the time to mark all our work. Her comments on my writing and her help during office hours has helped me improve my writing so much. And now my grades in all my classes are better. Great class.
Had Dr. Keehn for LTWR 115 and LTWR 107. She's wonderful! Funny, caring, approachable, and tells lots of fun stories in class. Textbooks are cheap. Not lots of homework, but assignments require thought and effort for good grades. She believes "A"s are earned, not received, but participate in class and do all the assignments, and you'll do well!
This professor really made me enjoy reading. She is super funny and makes even poems interesting. If you pay attention in class and do the readings, you will be fine. I highly recommend getting her as your professor!
Dr. Keehn is one of the best professors/teachers I have ever had throughout all of my schooling. I learned more things, all of them immensely useful in both a practical and career sense, than any other class I've taken. Not only is she brilliant and hilarious, she truly cares about her students and makes an incredible impact on their lives.
Dr. Keehn was by far the best professor I have had at Cal State San Marcos. Her enthusiasm about literature is amazing. Each class you learned something new and different. If you ever take literature 100, Dr. Keehn would be the best choice!
Dr. Keehn is an awesome professor who cares for her students and is passionate about what she teaches. I was dreading taking this class when I signed up, but it ended up being my favorite class because of Keehn. Class consisted of reading short stories, poems, plays etc then followed with an in class lecture. 10/10 recommend taking this course!!
Literally the best professor i've ever had. Dr. Keehn connects with her students and she believes that grades are earned. As long as you do your work and show up to class, you'll pass. She definitely has a heart and cares for her students and notices when too much is too much.
You will read every day. But the readings are usually very short (maximum 1 chapter). They're usually interesting articles that will spark peer discussion. It is a critical thinking class, after all. She is super funny and she really does care about you. As long as you read and participate in class discussions you'll get a B at least!
I used to hate reading books but every since taking her class it has became more fun!! I HIGHLY recommend her, she was so cared so much about her students stress during the COVID-19. Her lecture was always really fun and she made every story we read fun!!
Amazing professor. Really cares about her students and how they're doing. Makes you work but will always be there to help. Very caring for her students and their understanding of the class. Nice to have a conversation with. Not too hard of a class as long as you do the work and read. Fair amount of work. Readings, posts and hw each week.
Professor Keehn's class is a lot of fun. However, with the switch to online this semester, my attendance to recorded lectures was not showing up at the end of semester. She was very rude and inconsiderate with this issue when I brought it to her attention, said it was only my fault, it couldn't be a mistake at all and just assumed I never attended
Dr. Keehn dedicates herself to every class and every student willing to accept. I took her class twice and the first time, I failed miserably. She was a "tough grader", "there were too many assignments", etc. But, taking her class again I realize she just wants a good amount of effort from you. Read your assignments and prepare thoughtful responses
I personally hate literature and large amounts of reading. Yet Professor Keehn made this class doable and even fun for people like me. She is a little excessive on participation in which she monitors if you've opened up every single document in the course in order to give you credit. Otherwise this online class was worth it and I recommend her.
Took this class as a hybrid class. The teacher was super caring, really funny, and is willing to take time to give feedback on work. This semester, she didn't incorporate her final or midterm. Due to this, the quizzes were worth more. But the quizzes were not as hard, as long as you pay attention during the lecture. Would take this class again.
She is an amazing professor. She doesn't assign like 100+ pages to read every week, which is so refreshing. She actually puts thought into the pieces she assigns and makes it enjoyable. No final, just 2 easy quick essays. Highly recommend her class
Out of all of my courses this semester, I created notes that I will use as an educator, thanks to Dr. Keehn. Her stories incorporated into her lectures helped me grasp the content, and I enjoyed how PURPOSEFUL her essays and quizzes were. I included one of my essays from this class in my educator portfolio because I was so proud of the outcome.
