Comment:

Lots of quizzes that require the book and studying but help buffer the grade if you do well. There are 3 papers (1 page) and a group report (20 pages). He gives time to work in class on the group project and for the papers he has a (optional) class where hell give you feedback on a draft. You will get a good grade if you follow the feedback.

12 five pt. quizzes, so pay attention. The assignments aren't bad at all, take advantage of draft day! It's like grading before grading, extremely helpful. Group project at the end is worth 300 points. Weird, but funny cool weird. He's open to answer questions. Don't expect him to round your grade, grading scale is exactly how you will be graded.

Comment:

Papers arent graded on a timely basis. Bad with updating blackboard with grades, never know where you stand in class. Quizzes are a little tricky. He is very boring and writing styles are outdated. I wouldn't recommend him because he doesn't care about his students. If I hear the word "honey bunny" one more time...

Comment:

He makes the class enjoyable with his witty humor and teaching style, but he is a tough grader. Take advantage of the draft review days and you will do really well on the written assignments! He gives pop quizzes, but most of the time they are pretty common sense. If you just look at the back of the chapter to see what it is about you will be fine

Take this class if you want to improve your writing skills. His lectures are required and are hilarious and educational. Make sure you ask for his feedback before submitting the assignment, he wants you to be successful. Super nice professor.

I thought this class was awesome. GREATLY improved my writing style to gear it more towards business and kept me entertained with his jokes throughout each class. Some classes are so uninteresting that you find yourself avoiding them. In this class, I found myself excited to attend.

Great professor, really nice guy. His grading can be a little tricky but you can quickly determine the writing styles he prefers and conform your writing to it in order to get better grades. Will definitely improve your business writing.

He was an awful professor, his grading was very inconsistent and had double standards. His jokes are very lame and you only get a good grade if you laugh at his jokes.

Comment:

Keith holds conferences prior to turning in writing assignments but STILL takes off a lot of points after you edit whatever he suggest you change. Your paper can be A quality but he will take off a lot unnecessary points. You would expect his exams to be easy but the exams are difficult to understand.I do not recommend taking him.

He's a tough grader but is very fair and gives good advice on papers before they are due. Not the easiest teacher but he's very intelligent and you will learn a lot from him. I would not recommend him, but I wouldn't say he is bad at all.

Comment:

Very hard to get an A, but a B is very possible. He's a tough grader but is very fair and gives good advice on papers before they are due (he holds individual conferences with students that are not mandatory). Not the easiest teacher but he's very intelligent and you will learn a lot from him.

Comment:

a hard grader. No matter how many times you rewrite your paper he will find something wrong. The changes he recomnds are not logical. Exams and quizzes are not bad. The exam questions are difficult to understand. This should be an easy senior class instead its one of the most difficult. he is 2 demanding on a subject tht doesn't hav correct answers

Comment:

I'm an A student on the Dean's List and barely received a B. The exams are very easy however he deducts A LOT of points for attendance and being late (3 points every tardy) for a commuter I don't suggest him! Also he is unfair and biased when grading papers- if he likes you you will get an A.

Comment:

20-page group paper due at the end of the semester was the toughest part. Did get to pick our own groups. Gave 10 quizzes over the course of the semester, so attendance for those is mandatory. Overall, I'd rate him above average.

I thought this class was pretty easy, the long group paper was stressful, but other assignments were easy. As long as you did what he said you did well. The tests were so simple!! right off the study guide. Very possible to get an A.

Very strict, boring and fails to listen to students. Would not give next grade that was missed by .01%. No matter what you will receive around an 88%, its the only grade he gives

Comment:

This teacher trys to be funny which is ok but he is a very hard grader and you could never get an A even if you are the best writer in the world. His midterm and final are very hard as well. I do not recoment this teacher, he deducts many points and can't explain why so many points where taken off!!

Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had throughout my college life. He doesn't respect you and thinks that all students are not honest. Will deduct your points even after you make the changes suggested by him in the assignments. I will never suggest him to any student.
