Mr. Keeton was a great instructor like 99% of the instructors at BRCC. He explains what he is looking for and puts info on BB with PPP's. Print out PP's, and you're on your way to an A. If you got an A in 101, you will get an A here. Just apply what you learned in 101 and you will be alright.

He grades tough. If you show interest and concern for your grade, he will appreciate and consider the effort. I'm not sure if this is considered as he grades, but I believe it helps.

Although many people in my class said he's a tough grader, he is not hard but not easy either. Nice guy though. No he will not read your paper bc he expects u to know how to write one. Read whatever he assigns before class bc he gives online quizzes & in class writings on it. If u came fresh out of English II & are a decent writer, you will pass.

Prof. Keeton gives great feedback on essays. His class is difficult, but he keeps things interesting and gives you everything you could need to complete his assignments. Every week he gives assignments that lead up to the essays such as topic selections and annotated bibliographies. Those assignments made doing the essay a lot easier.

Professor Keeton is not mean, nor does he give too much work -- he just expects college-level work out of college students. Don't turn in mediocre work and think you're somehow entitled to an A. But as long as you put forth the effort, you should do fine.
