Comment:

Dr. Keller is a good man. BUT his test questions are near impossible and I never made a single A on any of them and I was a 4.0 student before his class. Under any circumstances, DO NOT take lab with him as the teacher. He makes it way harder than the other ones. My friends in the other classes had 96s in lab and I ended with an 89. Its rough man.

Comment:

Dr. Keller is the sweetest and kindest man. The class is mostly group projects and you are with the same group the entire semester. If you put in effort, you can usually get an A on a group project. Quizzes are taken as a group. Do not expect to get a good grade on a quiz. They are extremely difficult. Lectures are from a powerpoint.

George is a great man. Hes super sweet and really cares about his students. The class is boring and you have to study and be prepared for the tests. They are very challenging, but manageable. I got a C on the first exam and went to his office and went over everything and asked for study tips and he really helped. Show up to class its extra credit

Comment:

I hate to say it because Dr Kellers so sweet but his tests are the hardest things I've ever had to study for. I studied for a 1.5 weeks and 3 days before the test, I studied for 11 hours a day in the lib with my phone turned off & made a 72 on the test. He expects us to know things that arent on the study guide or on the powerpoints that he teaches

Dr. Keller is SO sweet! But his class is unbearably boring. He reads right from the powerpoints & posts them online so you have access. The material isn't too hard to grasp, but when you that test in front of you, you won't know what hit you. His tests are harder than ANYTHING. Everyone constantly fails. Nearly impossible. nice guy, hard tests.

He gives study guides that help a lot, but the tests were pretty hard. Nobody comes to class but he notices who is there. The final is an easy 100.

No point in going to class because he reads directly from the slides. A good professor, knows that nursing students just need to get through micro.

Comment:

Dr. Keller is a nice guy; however, his class isn't recommended. The material in class is pretty dull and seems like common sense until you get to the quiz and don't recognize any of the material on it. Easy projects; however, quizzes make up for this.

I LOVE Dr. Keller! He is such a good professor and a really nice person. I learned so much in his class and really appreciate all of the time he dedicated to teaching. It was a hard course because I didnt have any previous knowledge on the subject matter but he made it bearable and actually enjoyable!

Dr. Keller is SO great. had him for micro--he makes the class easy to succeed in and not really that stressful. he is kinda quiet but if you listen close you'll catch his funny little jokes! he gives study guides that help a lot for each test. TAKE HIM! :)

took him for micro- very good teacher and passionate about his subject. And he could work on his mono-toned voice. Do the back of the book problems before tests. And study the old tests!

I took Dr. Keller for the Pre-Health Foundations course. He seems nice and will try to help you if you ask questions, but he doesn't always have the answers and doesn't seem to stay on top of things.

Doc Keller used to be on jeopardy. Doesn't take attendance, but the quizzes are hard as hell. Lots of group projects but he lets you turn in work late. You think you're gonna get an A in the class and then SURPRISE! You get a B-.

Comment:

Expects us to do things he doesn't do. Whens the last time he submitted a grant? Very vague. Useless when it comes to help. Nice guy, but how does this guy keeps his job? When I went by to ask for help, he was always playing computer games, or surfing. Take someone else for senior sem if you can. You will be happy you did.

Comment:

Don't take his class at 8am. It's really hard to stay awake especially when he has a very calm and soothing voice and uses his over head projecter w/ the lights off. His tests are a little odd as far as format, but overall his class is easy.
