He is a good&helpful prof. his lectures are clear. it was 3hr class but he ended eariler most of the times. he gives out the review sheet with the questions and pick 2 or 3 questions from it so the students can choose 1 to write an essay about. He does take attendence but its not mandatory. But do not miss any quiz or exams!
One of the greatest teachers I've ever had in any school. His explanations are clear and concise and he really cares whether you understand or not. His classes are anything but boring half the time we spent laughing our asses off, def. not immune to charm and his tests are real easy, If I could take him again I would in a heart beat,And hes HAWT!
Probably one of the best professors ive ever had...... he actually makes the class interesting rather than reading off of a sheet like a drone. Would recommend
Prof.Keogh is such a great professor! Made 3 hrs. fly by really fast. He is very entertaining. His quizzes and tests are very straight forward and gives u the ques before hand. GREAT PROFESSOR!
Professor Keogh is a great professor.He is very entertaining.His quizzes and tests are very straight forward and gives you the questions, but make sure you study. If you have any questions make sure you go to him for help and he'll certainly help you.
This professor is so adorable and cute! AND helpful! :)
Great professor. I personally love history but the way he taught the class made me love it more. I highly recommend this class to anyone who hates or love history.... YEAH, that's how good he is.
He is extremely funny keeps the class up, most history classes are boring but not his. He gives you the material and the test two weeks before so you can be prepared, no homework and honestly all you gotta do is pay attention to class not even study. He is great
I hate history but professor keogh made it really fun and entertaining for me. I love going to his class especially a 3 hour class, he made it really interesting for me and it made me understand history more. And he's also adorable and cute haha.
Excellent teacher. If you want a clear understanding of history then take his class. All his lectures are on powerpoint and also posted them on BlackBoard. He's always around if you need extra help before the midterm and final. Just make sure you read the assign reading before class and participate in the class discussions.
This is my third day so far taking this professor class. I am very comfortable in his class. He teaches history in a fun way so that you understand the work and it's details. He also post the class notes for that day on blackboard and also provide a review sheet for exams. He's a great professor. I recommend others to take his class.
the only thing i can say about him is that he is amazing!! I was into journalism, but after I took his class i realized that history is what make me feel good, he totally changed my mind. My dream now is to be a history professor.
This professor makes history sooooo interesting. i loved that class and it was a night class so i wasnt even too excited about it when i first registered. his lectures are interesting. you do have to work for your grade he is not an easy grader but if you listen to his lectures and take good notes. you'll be fine. He's awesome
Hilarious, makes learning history easy! His testsquizzes are super easy if you study his outlines. Great class to take.
Favorite professor ever! Made me actually look forward to history, which is usually a pretty boring class
The best professor in QCC!. All his tests are essay questions but the good thing is that he gives you the test two weeks in advance so you can get ready! usually he gives you 4 questions and out of the 4 he only puts 2 on the test. He is a tough grader but I mean you have to be really lazy to fail this class!. Overall a great professor!!! TAKE HIM
He's such a fun professor. I don't know how but he makes history fun. I would absolutely take him again. I learned a lot. He like to act out his lessons that helps.
He's a really good history teacher I took a history before him and got a B- and the teacher was horrible I took him and got a A- and he makes the class interesting and is very clear about test and breaks down what to include in them. Gives a midterm a final and 3 short quizzes I'm not really interested in history but he made it interesting and fun
One of my favorite professors in QCC! I took him for my fall term 2014 & passed with a B+. Clear on what is expected, 4 quizzes & the lowest is dropped. 1 midterm, 1 final & voila! His enthusiasm & passion forces you to become interested in history; & I don't even like history! A breath of fresh air. I highly recommend Keogh to any & everyone!
Easiest class I took at QCC. Assigned 3 papers (where you could get a 100% with only a paragraph). Those papers contain the *exact* same questions on the midterm. Also gave the final exam questions ahead of time. Just be sure you know how to write, and pay attention in class (he's an engaging lecturer-makes 3 hours zoom by!). Cool guy too!
He is the best professor I have had this whole semester. He encourages participation and is interactive with his students. The tests are good because he always gives you all the information you need, the notes are the test. He is understanding and a very cheerful individual, his class is very engaging so time seems to fly by. AMAZING professor.
really good professor and very funny. all his tests are essays and he gives you two questions to study for and picks one as the essay. no homework and very chill class. you should deff take him
He is a very good professor . As long you have a strong thesis and supporting points you will get good grades . Make sure to study and show it to him . He is very helpful and clear about what he wants . He gives 4 exams including the final and drops the lowest grade so basically you take only 3 exam the whole semester . You have to earn the grade
Professor Tim is one of the best professor in the History department of qcc. In HI127 he usually gives out 3 exams and a final. The exams are usually 2 essay questions from which he only picks one. The essay questions are given 2 weeks ahead of the exam. Go to class take notes and you will get an "A".
Best history teacher i have ever had. if there were more teacher students would get more dedicated towards studying. Funny, easy going, good by heart.
Six quizzes, one midterm and one final. The hardest class ever had in QCC. Tough grader, his class is not recommend to no history background students.
He is a nice professor but his exams are way too complicated, he is not easy to please essay wise and you have to try to memorize 15-20 essays he picks a only a few like 5. He is very particular and expects a lot of info in the essays he will make u think u did good and u end up with a 4 outa 10. I dont recommend if you have a full schd BK NEEDED
He was truly amazing, Usually lectures a re boring but he makes them funny and make fun to learn. Definitely be prepared to take a lot of quizzes and think outside the box for this class.
I love this professor. I am NOT a history buff and was terrified when she said the test was an essay question! That being said if you show up to EVERY CLASS, pay attention, participate and can support your argument you will be fine! He is always more than willing to help, he's such a sweet guy and he loves his job you can tell. I would take him aga
Okay, so there are 3 in class exams and he drops the lowest grade and there's a mandatory final. He's pretty harsh on the grading of essays. You would think you got a 95 on an essay and you get it back and it's like an 80, which is very annoying. As for his lectures, they're great; he's hilarious and very nice. You're allowed only 4 absences.
I seriously dont understand how he got hottness he is an extremely tough grader and very picky on how he wants things written. I do not recommend this professor if your not into history he will make it hard for you with over 15 essays to memorize,study and he picks like 5 be prepared to bust ur bottom for it!!!! NOT an easy A class maybe C- D lucky
I suggest if you like your GPA dont take him!!! I have rated him a big fat F because he wants exactly what he wants written hes never happy with your answer!!! You will think you did an awesome essay and it turns out he wont like it and will give you a 6 or 7 EXTREMELY TOUGH GRADER I AM AN "A" 3.9 GPA STUDENT!! he loves to give D's and D-
Amicable personality, engaging lectures, tells a lot of funny stories. If you're good at writing and like history, then Keogh's going to be an easy A for you. In my opinion, he makes it very clear what he expects on each essay, but a lot students still find him difficult. So if writing isn't your thing, look elsewhere.
Gives engaging lectures BUT he grades really tough. He does give you exactly what the test will be on, but you will still end up with a average grade because he isn't very clear on what he wants written or to be mentioned in your writing. 6 quizzes, 1 midterm, 1 final (Tests & quizzes are essay based)
Currently taking this class. Don't get me wrong this is a great class. He's very engaging and explains his lessons very well. HOWEVER, he is an extremely hard grader. He expects WAY more than you think on his essay tests. I mean I gave so many examples and yet I still managed to get a B. And it doesn't help that all his exams are essay based.
Professor Keogh gives detailed power points and always tells you what he expects from you on the exam. He was always available for extra help during his office hours which I always did before every exam. The lectures are always clear and hilarious and if you study for the essay based tests you will be fine.
He's a great professor inside and outside of class. If you need help with something and email him, he will reply and give the exact answer you were looking for. He makes class very entertaining! forever recommending
This professor is awesome. He brings so much energy to the class and every lecture with him is engaging. Yes, his tests are difficult. They are essay questions: one out of two questions is chosen randomly, so always study both! Show up to class, take notes, participate in the lectures, and you will be totally fine!
Great professor, the only history teacher to actually make history great. Will definitely make you laugh and want to listen to more. But be ready for having a quiz every week, but they're so easy just make sure you study what he gives you to review. Very anal on details though, will want you to understand specific details.
I Love this professor he is amazing. I took 2 historyclasses with him i love it. I actually learn and understood allot of history. His test are easy. We had to write and essay with facts that he had tough in classs, and defend a speacific pont of view.
Enthusiastic professor, extremely tough grader. No gray area when it comes to papers.
okay I took this professor last semester and he isn't so bad. His lectures are not boring. He gives the review sheet 2 weeks before the exam. The review is two essay question and he picks one of the question for the exam. If you go to his office hours he will help you plan out your essay, so you can pass the exam. You an't be lazy
Love him. You do have to work for your grade but he gives you all the tools to make it easy on you. Take good notes. Theres a lot of writing in his class. His quizzes are short answers and his midterms and finals are essays & short answers. But his lectures are great and he's super funny. Helps you outside of class and is just one of the best prof.
I love this professor. Will be taking a third history class from him next semester. You have to do the work and have to study. The class is not impossible. If you are lazy, don't take his class. Take notes, write down everything and when you do your essays it will be easy.
Amazing professor. Very supportive and always there to answer any questions you have. Definitely take his class!
He is honestly the best professor in the world. He is my favorite professor! He is so understanding, mature, is so passionate about what he teaches! You actually wanna learn in his class! He is so nice, positive and funny! Participation matters, No homeworks! But Quiz every two weeks, he gives you the questions a week before. He is the best!!!
He makes learning interesting does not make anyone bored he will help you and best of all no test or hw just five or four questions he picks one at random midterm and final same thing but you need to write an essay which he gives the prompt before hand and for each quiz you take once every two weeks take him he is the best
Timothy Keogh is a real GEM, I am truly happy I chose him as my History Professor. We had a quiz every week ( you are given the question 1 week before) answer it before class and re-write it in class. There is a fair amount of reading. Participation does matter. He allows you to revise papers but not the quizes. 3 papers total 4-5 pages long.
Professor Keogh is an amazing person inside and outside of class. His lectures are never boring and he is very hilarious. The only homework is to read from the textbook. The textbook is free and provided online. There are 4 in class essay exams given. As long as you pay attention, come to class and write notes you will get an A. Overall excellent!
I really loved having this professor. our class had 4 tests, which he would give us the template for. he gives two questions and ideas of what to write about.. on the day of the test, one of these two questions are chosen and you must write an essay. he made history interesting and related most things to today's events.
tough grader, tough grader, tough grader!!!
All his quizzes and tests are essay base & he expects the answer from the textbook. He will give a quiz every 2 weeks and the questions are given a week in advance. He will give you 4 to 5 questions and he will pick a random one. For mid term, he will pick 1 out of 4 questions and you need to write for 4 to 6 pgs + 4 out of 11 small questions.
He grade the essay very tough.
He's a funny and quite a laidback professor. He's great at explaining the content. There's a quiz every week but theyre very easy if you read the readings; he uploads the pdf for textbook so its FREE. He gives review sheets with the exact essay question for the test so its definitely an easy class.
He grades tuff on essay
I loved this class. He is really good at explaining everything. He's jokes are so funny. If I could I would take another class with him but this is my last semester. I wish I knew about him before. Easy class, just study the term words for quizzes and you'll pass them. He gives only two exams during the semester and dose offer extra credit.
I like this professor way of lecturing!.He gives review just follow his power point slide and write your essay.
I never thought I would write on this but I had too! This is by FAR the GREATEST Professor I had at QueensBorough! He was so understanding and his lectures are amazing. He is also very funny. Coming from someone who hated going to school I looked forward to attending his class! Dont Hesitate to take his class! Spots fill up QUICK!
The best history professor he gives review sheets for the midterm and finals.
He is so cute and gives review sheets.
I had Prof Keogh last semester and he is so awesome that while looking up a history professor for my friend, I saw Professor Keogh in "similar profs" and felt compelled to give him a review. He was adorable, made funny jokes and always had some fun facts on the topics. He is a fair grader and is passionate about history! THE BEST.
He is a Gem take him he gives review sheets
He is very organized, I am taking his class online. He is a fair grader if you put in the work. He transmits his information to you smoothly, easy to understand. He explains what he is looking for clearly. His voice is so welcoming and he says funny jokes here and there. Take him you won't regret it.
He is so organized, he transmits his information to you smoothly, His voice is so friendly and welcoming. I am taking him online, if you put in the work, he will see that and you will get a grade. TAKE HIM YOU WON'T REGRET IT The most approachable attitude ever, he is a sweetheart!
Professor Keogh is really great! I really enjoyed his lectures. be If I had to be honest, I really understood most of the lectures thank high school. But like I said I really enjoyed his lecture. I would take his class again on any given Sunday.
Professor. Tim is really caring and gives amazing feedbacks. If you are struggling with anything make sure to reach out to him and he will help you out.
Professor Tim is very caring and helpful. Reach out to him if youre struggling and hell help you out. Hes amazing!
Awesome professor! Took this class as writing intensive but it wasn't that bad. His lectures are clear to understand. Pay attention and follow his instructions for the weekly essays and quizzes and you'll do great. I scored perfect on every essay, just follow his instructions and you'll be fine. Very caring and understanding Professor as well.
the GOAT of QCC's history department... you'll understand his lectures (even without previous knowledge of US history)
I missed 4 classes which mean I missed 4 of the daily worksheets he gives out and completed all my essays and still barely passed. I even made sure to include information from the textbook and cite it like he asked. never again
if you stay on top of your weekly essays, you'll definitely get a good grade.
He gives 3 papers and weekly assignments. Just do your weekly assignments on time and hand in your PAPER ON TIME and you will pass. His weekly assignments are easy, he practically gives you the answer for them at the end of class. For his papers, he allows many revisions only if you hand them in on time. He does not care a lot about attendance!
I took him for HIST 127 and HIST 128. It was asynchronous. Every week there is a short essay 300-500 words and a short quiz. Its an easy class, the answers are in the lectures and the reading. No real tests just the short essay and quiz. At the end the final is basically a question you already asnwered so you could use back an old essay.
Fantastic courses. He tells you there are a lot of papers up front but they aren't difficult at all. If you pay attention to the lectures he literally tells you how to write your papers, what he wants to see, and how he will grade it. He's very charismatic and I learned so much. Would take all of his classes if they fit my schedule.
In this hybrid asynchronous class, students are required to complete weekly essays and quizzes. Additionally, during class time, students are given a one-page reading assignment to answer two questions. The three papers in this class will primarily be based on the work completed through these assignments.
3papers(you can revision if the grade not good)
This professor care so much about attendance please be present for his class if you take him. Otherwise you will receive A- like me even though you get really high grades in everything.
I took this class during the summer and it was great! The recorded lectures really made things so much easier and he gives great feedback on all papers :) If you need to take a history course take him!!!
Incredibly nice and great at his job. He really makes the class so interesting and makes class so enjoyable. Be aware that you need to submit your assignments on time because he does not take late work but if you do your work and come to class you will definitely get an A or above bc he makes it easy for you! and you'll have a great time! :)
Professor Keogh is the best. If you show up to all his classes do all your weekly assignments. You'll do amazing he cares for each student and his lectures are amazing and you actually learn. He's one of the best professors I've had at QCC. So take this professor if your looking to do good!
I've been at QCC for 2 years and this was the best professor I've ever had since being here. He does have weekly assignments but if you go to class the assignments get done itself. Lectures are interesting and not boring. I would 100% take him again.
I've been at QCC for 2 years this is by far the best professor I've ever had. His lectures are entertaining and he keeps you engaged. Yes they're are weekly assignments but as long as you come to class you pretty much complete the assignments there. Honestly wish I found him sooner would 100% take another class.
In my entire life I have genuinely never seen a teacher actually care so much about each student regardless of their prior knowledge in the subject. Even at my previous 4 year institution, I was not able to come across a professor like this. Truly a gem of a teacher and human being.
This professor is beyond helpful. It doesn't matter if you dont know a single thing about history prior to taking his class, you will leave with a plethora of knowledge at the end of the semester. He grades very well and is very articulate during lectures. Never once was I bored by a lecture. He cares for each one of his student's wellbeing.
GREATEST professor I've genuinely taken. A lot of people assume that history is boring and repetitive, but trust me when I say that that is the exact opposite of what this class is. Professor Keogh made the lectures a breeze and condensed it to make the material as easy to understand as possible for everyone. The HW is very minimal but effective!
I honestly will never understand the lower ratings for this professor. Genuinely the most down to earth human being and professor I have ever had the pleasure to be taught by. Always has a smile on his face and never once showed any signs of favoritism towards any single person. Without a doubt, I registered to take his next course next semester.
amazing professor. so kind, amazing at teaching, every class is a great time. he gives phenomenal feedback too so you always learn how to improve your work/ essay writing in general. whoever said he gives too much work is lying or lazy lol and i promise you any other history class will give you the same amount/more.
An overall really good professor. The lectures and readings he provided us were very clear cut and easy to learn from. The workload he assigned to us was very generous. Only regret is taking this guy online because he seems like he'd be a fun in person professor.
Worst Professor ever! I would definitely stay away from this guy if you don't want to ruin your GPA!
