Reviews of professor Amy O'Keefe

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Don't get me wrong, she is nice; however, avoid this class. Her teaching and grading are bad. We did a non-grading technique, but ultimately it sucked. Bad at giving feedback and lecture-heavy. Homework is unclear, and the games didn't allow us to really learn much. You're better off taking a traditional class with traditional grading.

Dr. O'Keefe is a great professor, the type of teacher that is VERY passionate about her job. too passionate though because she forgets it's a gen ed class! initially, I could keep up with the daily homework and bi-weekly papers but in the second half everyone was tired and she just didn't get the memo. Too much energy.

This class was awful! She does not grade your work, the games are horrible, the homework never ends, her instructions are unclear, I did not learn anything from her class, and this class gave me more anxiety than ever.

She is VERY kind and caring towards her students and is genuinely a sweet person. It is just her class that is so very tough. There are games requiring everyone to play specific roles. Everyone was so confused and each class requires a paper due the day before. Also having us do discussions all the time on slack. Ive cried WAY to much in here.

Dr. O'keefe is a very caring and genuine professor. She responds to emails fairly quickly and answers questions. The workload is heavy and you play 2 historical games, which makes it seem like a public speaking class. Do your work and give yourself an A at the end of the semester, as it was a non grading class.

She is genuinely a sweet lady- I do like her as a person. But she tried a new policy this semester where she's not "grading" material. It would be okay if she gave feedback, however, she is VERY untimely about giving it. You have A LOT of reading and A LOT of writing assignments- just for them to not be graded. Also, 2 stressful historical games.

Be prepare to play "games" and write homework with minimal knowledge to complete the assignments.

unorganized. Homework takes 2 hours to do and you have a lot of it.

Super sweet professor who wants you to do well! She expects a lot and cares a lot about what she teaches. If you do bad on an assignment she encourages you to come to talk to her for help and gives helpful feedback. If you don't put in the work you won't pass - but that's most college classes

In this class, the world in the 20th century, your grade depends on how you do during the 2 role play games you will play in here. They are easy and fun, there is a couple of homework assignments and 2 papers you will do for each game. Honestly its a lot of papers for a history class but cares a lot about mental health and always does check ins :)
