Comment:

Dr. Keyser cares about the weather, and his students' understanding of the course material. He gives his students every opportunity to earn excellent grades, and improve course comprehension. If you go to class, take down the notes that he gives, go to office hours, do the homeworks carefully, and study for the exams; expect an excellent grade.

Cares more about students than just about any professor I have ever had, really just wants you to do well. Homework is extremely hard and time consuming at times but tests are easy.

Comment:

Good professor. Quirky, but good. Not very helpful outside of class though. He always says to go to the TA instead, unless you just have a question that will take five minutes. Copy the notes, and do the problem sets. Exams are super easy if you take diligent notes and do well on your homework! Nice guy, can sometimes go off on tangents though.

SOO boring. Hard topay attn to him and he doesnt stop anyone from talkiing and distracting the class. I didnt enjoy his class at all. Maybe if you like talking about clouds you will. He has various TA's to help prepare you for the test and has study guides to help.

Comment:

It’s a hard class. It’s in a lecture center with 500 students and the topic is very boring. Keyser and TAs are very helpful. Attend review sessions and read the online notes. I gave up on the textbook because I found it very difficult. Also get ThomsonNOW â€" it was worth the 20 bucks and helped me somewhat. Try to make study groups because I found t

Comment:

Thermo was a lot of fun last semester. He's the kinda guy you really learn to respect and even admire. He tends to make really corny jokes - but for some reason you can't help but laugh. The lectures are pretty hard to sit through, he knows this and will occasionally lighten the mood. This is a great teacher and was complimented by a superb TA!

Hard class and sometimes a pain to understand, but thermo isn't supposed to be easy. DK is very helpful and available outside class quite a bit. If you love silly jokes like I do, then you'll love keyser.

Even though it was a very beginner class and the subject matter is what I am majoring in, I still enjoyed it. He can be very dry and slightly boring, but he teaches well. I've heard from people who take his upper level courses that they are the same.
