Comment:

He's a great professor, and his class was easy. The class had a clear grading criterion, everything on the study guide was in the textbook (my class we ended up downloading a free version of the book!) He's funny, laid back and is a really helpful professor. If you don't show up to class he posts the study guides on blackboard.

Comment:

Can not lecture for his life. Going to class is pointless because he rambles about nothing during the whole class. I didn't pay attention and usually did other work. GET THE BOOK! Its ur only hope to pass. He didn't give us study guides so i had no idea what to study. He doesn't even provide a email for questions, so contacting him was impossible.

He gives study guides. You don't even need to go to class to pass the class. I just used to book to make notecards to go along with the study guide and I received an A on every exam.

If you don't show up to class the book is helpful. I found going to class was kind of pointless because he gives a study guide for the exams that can be done with the book. The tests are the only grades in the class though

Keto was a great professor. All though it is not mandatory, I would recommend you attend sometimes to keep yourself up to date! Everything on the study guide is in the textbook!

He is one of the best professors I've ever had. His exams are based off the study guides he gives you. It's basically all just memorization. Use the book to get all the definitions and memorize them all and you will get an A. Very simple! He is hilarious, and makes me want to go to class to listen to his lectures. Take him!!

Pretty funny and laid back. I rarely ever went to class unless it was for a test. Beware that he does not post lectures online, but you can still get away with skipping class, because for the tests, he posts a study guide on blackboard.

Not enough time given to complete the exams. I found myself reading the questions and answer at least twice to understand them.

I never went to class and still received an A. As long as you do the study guides for the test and used the book (provided to you for free) you should be able to pass. He takes everything from the study guide.

Very easy A as long as you go to class and complete his reviews for the exams. He uses the exact definitions from the book so it's really simple if you memorize the terms. I have a 96 in the class. He also give you the free ebook link which is awesome because you'll need it for definitions. You get extra credit if you go to class on Fridays too.

All we had in this class were 4 tests where pretty much all the information was from the book which was all online. Don't be intimidated by the beard. He's a really funny guy and gives great examples for remembering certain subjects of sociology.

Very easy intro class. Tests were based off the book, not class material, so I never went to class. He posted study guides about two weeks before the tests and had at least one review class. All multiple choice tests, very easy if you looked at the material. The few times I went to class, he was funny and friendly. Book was free online!

Comment:

Dr Keto is a great professor, passionate, and nice. However, he doesn't really goes over all that is going to be in the test during lecture at all. For the tests, he gives a study guide with all the terms, read about them in the book, and the tests are easy. If you do that, you'll most likely get an A. Also, show up for the tests; there's only four

Professor Keto is really nice but does not know how to lecture! DO NOT go to class, you will be confused!! Buy the book, take notes on the chapter, and you'll be fine. The only grades are 3 tests and a final, he sends out a study guide of each a week before and the test is the exact same as it. I got an easy A and went to class probably 6 times.

He was a very nice guy and passionate about what he talks about. It really is an easy A. IF you look on the FREE online book and the study guide you will be fine.

He tries to be super nice and make the class not so lecturey. However, attendance is definitely not mandatory. All the information I learned was from the book because in class he would get off topic alot. All information for the tests is in the book so just do the study guide and you will easily get an A.

As long as you use the book (which is free online) and look at the study guide before tests you will be fine. I never went to class and still got above a 90 on my tests

Mr. Keto is a great professor. He knows his material very well. Attendance isn't mandatory for the class, but it is very helpful to go. Almost everything he says in class is on the exam. The textbook we used was free online, which was a plus. His lectures followed right along with the textbook.
