Reviews of professor Jim Keller

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's an easygoing guy but he takes forever with grading. He didn't grade 2 of our essays until the last week of school (we had 3 total). His feedback doesn't help since it's short and broad and his prompts for essays are so confusing.

Even though it was online, I could tell Jim is a great guy. His class is pretty straightforward. 50% of the grade is from the 3 essays and the topics are really interesting. There's reading logs for 1 book but once that's done the class gets easier. Your writing skills and techniques will improve with him and I highly recommend Jim!

Professor Keller is a nice guy, but he assigns way too much work. I took him over the winter session and had to do an essay per week. One time, we had to submit an essay on monday and submit another one that friday. He expects you to dedicate 40 hours a week on this course which is crazy unreasonable. There's too much work for such little time :(

I took him through zoom fall of 2021. I don't mind when the teacher talks the whole time, I'm an audio learner. He makes a lot of jokes, and they're pretty corny and they're sometimes funny. I don't mind at all lol. He's amazing, and he really wants you to succeed in the class and beyond.

This class consists of reading logs, quizzes, & about 6 papers, a midterm and a mid term practice and final exam. Manage your time and you will do good. Beware of the 10 page essay (its given towards the end). Jim is a great professor and not a tough grader. I would not take this class again because its english 101 and its hard but he is good.
