I really enjoy his commentary, he's really funny. A very blunt person, but that's what makes him likable, and even though some videos are very old, his material is all easy to learn.

Comment:

Dr. Kellerman talks a lot about his travels in his classes. In other classes, they feel a bit out of place, but in his Intercultural class, they really lend to his ability to provide real examples of intercultural exchanges. He writes fun and educational assignments and seems to enjoy giving his students a true multicultural experience.

Easy class and good professor! Some videos he uses are outdated but overall the material is interesting and quizzes and exams aren't too bad as long as you read the coursepack seriously and prepare!

He is a great teacher, passioned about his class. Wants to help you to grow. tough grader but will work with you if you ask for. Lots of stories and examples. Pretty reasonable. Gives extra credit by going to see speeches that he asks to watch on campus. Totally would retake it, makes you feel comfortable speaking in front other people.

Comment:

Honestly couldnt say this is an easy A because the exams were pretty specific and if you messed up on one you prob wont get an A in this class. There is no A- as well so thats even worse. He offers some extra credit which is nice but you have to read the coursepack to do well. Just cram for each exam and take it seriously for the test.

I'm bored to death in this class. He's such a nice man but his lectures just seem pointless to me. Class is mandatory. Actually only gave us two absences the whole semester and missing the block class counted as both. The class itself is easy enough, pretty easy way to get your words. Assignments open up early as well if you want to work ahead

Comment:

Great professor! I prefer his teaching style which is more focused on sharing a lot of his personal experiences and offering the class opportunities to share their experiences in different areas and less about reading a textbook. I find this method of lecturing a lot more interesting. The class is not too hard and if you show up you'll be fine.

Comment:

Kellerman is very knowledgable about his subject. You do need to buy his textbook, but it's cheap and small. His lectures are a tad annoying (I put them on 1.4 speed) but his tests are extremely predictable and all online. He does provide extra credit through quick research surveys and going to occasional events. Easy A and interesting content.

Took COM1000 Online. He din't really "run the class", but he did teach on the lectures. You have to buy his OWN textbook that he made in order to do well in the class. Not too tough of a class.

Comment:

One of the easiest and most boring classes I've ever taken. Kellerman is a conceited blowhard who will tell you more about his personal exploits than actually teach. His class only has about 5 assignments, so they're worth a ton, and he grades very arbitrarily, but if you even put a little effort into assignments it's an easy A course.

Took the K man for Organizational Comm. I also had his online class for COM1000. COM1000 was the easiest class ever if you did the reading . COM4930 had very little assignments and only 2 exams. Easy, just study the study guide. Only problem is his lectures are confusing, he likes tangents, pp are not well organized. Nice guy, knows his stuff.

Take the class seriously - especially the presentations. I lost an A by 10 points because I wanted to blow off the final. Great class - instructor is passionate about the subject and has plenty of examples. Make sure you spend some time on your speeches and don't cover material he knows (i.e. communications, immigration, etc.) or he will drill you.

One of the easiest online classes you will ever take. Sure, you have to keep up with the discussion posts every week. But, still. Very easy A with minimal studying. He gave SO MANY extra credit opportunities. The only reason you wouldn't get an A is because you're lazy.

Comment:

O my gosh! most boring class ever- he goes off topic. Shares stories and pics that are not interesting. YELLED at us about drinking at football games! He provides study guides, but then you take the test and there is WAY more on the test than what he tells you there will be. He freaks when you're on the phone or laptop. Don't take him!

Its an even easier course when taken online. This is a really easy Gen ed and he gives a lot of extra credit where it can bring you up a whole letter grade or more. Just make a study guide for the tests and read all the articles. The reading quizzes are super easy and aren't timed.

Comment:

Fairly easy class. Make sure you read the textbook and fill out his study guides. Read the articles too cause he asks random T/F questions on exams. I thought he was boring so it felt like a chore going to lectures. Attendance is mandatory. If you miss class, it could easily screw up your grade since there are only 3 exams and 6 attendance grades.
