Comment:

He just drops bomb on students head one by one. Lectures heavy. Please attend the class because he provides solutions of the homework. Do the maths he gives for homework you will get good marks in mid and thats important. If you think his midterm is hard then you are freaking wrong coz his final is crazy just like conjuring 1. Helpful prof.

Comment:

One of the worst professors I have ever experienced. His lectures are disorganized and disjointed, he does not have a great enough grasp of the course material to sufficiently explain the homework HE assigns, and his tests are effectively random content from neither the text nor the lectures. Stay far away. He will destroy your GPA.

Comment:

So most people think Keith is slow, monotonous and disconnected from the class. This guy is incredibly smart, knowledgeable and the fact he had met some of the most powerful economic minds in the United States is incredible. I love talking to this guy and getting to know him.

Comment:

He read ppt in the class, he seems to try to explain his ideas but I truly believe that most students in our class get the point. He doesn't go over any homework with us. Be prepared to go through the textbook and help yourself. If you have other choice, then avoid this.

Comment:

Really nice guy, but he seemed completely disconnected from the material. Stumbled his way through lectures, added almost no value, and legitimately seemed to be teaching a class he did not understand. He gave incorrect answers to questions that came from the students, and just didn't seem to know what he was doing up there. Avoid if possible.

Comment:

The other reviews are correct to say that his lectures are fairly boring. However, Keith is the most knowledgeable prof I have ever had. If you are interested in being a bank teller you can easily skim by in this class. If you want more out of his class, the sky is the limit when you have a resource like Keith to learn from.

This class I learned that in life, there are actually three things that are guaranteed: Death, Taxes, and Sleep in Keith's class. That said, Keith was extremely generous in his grading of all assignments and exams, and was very good about sticking to the text.

He is a very nice guy, great person! As a teacher he's not as good, most of class sleeps and it is hard to get what he is saying. Probably he thinks that everybody;s genius. He is incredibly smart! I just wish he could explain thing better and follow some guideline or smth..

Comment:

I've had Keith before, and he was tolerable-This time he wasn't. Attending class was a waste of time, his exams were so off target with the material he had to revise them just so the majority of the class could pass. His take home exam was brutal and difficult to understand. Needs to loose his job.

Comment:

Keith is a really nice guy. I found his lectures pretty boring but his exams are pretty easy. Finance is a course that can be easily learned from home, so I think in this regard, keith's easy exams make up for his lack of in-class "UMPH".

He was so easy. His exams are so simple. He doesn't even mark all the questions. His final exam was 34 multiple choice questions.

Comment:

Nobody asks a question in the class. Because they are under the effect of Keith's sleep spell & the ones who survive the spell(call 911)will have no clue what he is talking about so nobody can create a simple question. You can pass but you can't learn from him. You have to really learn by your self.
