Comment:
There was a lot to learn from Keefe, maybe too much. The mid-terms and final contain so much information that it's hard to get every little detail Keefe wants to hear. He goes off on tangents and I get lost in the lectures. At least he's very interested in what he's teaching.

I am a non-SIS student. He had no regard for this, and didn't recognize that I hadn't taken contemp. David Keefe has ruined my life, and GPA. Thanks ****.

Keefe is the incarnation of all that is evil. I won't even go into how many students in my class he made cry.

Prof Keefe is awesome! Global Economic Issues is a difficult class to follow (that's why it's not designed for freshmen), but it's very interesting. The material is hard to grasp at first, but he is really helpful during office hours! He's very intelligent and extremely willing to help his students, just as long as you've put in a decent effort =)

Keefe is a good teacher when it comes down to it. He's a teacher that most people either love or hate, I'm someone who really enjoys his well-organized lectures, but he's not too much of an out-of-the-box thinker. Without a doubt though, he is the toughest timeline/essay grader - essays that I thought were 3s and 4s were actually 2s and 3s.

his teaching style's a little hard to follow... but his cool rockstar shoes give you something else to focus on.

He's super organized, which is also his downfall, i.e. smi-uninteresting lectures with odd pauses for emphasis.

Comment:
Global Economic Issues was a pain in the ass. The textbook (which he wrote) sucked and I was glad I survived the class. He knows his stuff, he's a really smart guy, really. However, I think he must suffer from ADD (judging from his textbook)

Of all the profs I've had in 3 years. Keefe is in my top two! He was very clear, helpful, and an awesome advisor. If you have a chance to take a course with him I would jump at the chance and run to get in line for registration.
