Reviews of professor Keith Dow

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
He's a funny guy. He's retiring but in order to succeed you just needed to do the exam review and show up to the exam (open-note exams very similar to review). Requires a lot of self-learning, though. I had a good time in his class.

Hands down the worst teacher. He lets class out after 20 minutes of "lecture" which is just slides with no descriptions. He tells terrible jokes and is not useful answering any short of questions. I enjoy being let out early, but we don't learn anything. Attendance is not mandatory at all. How can he be proud of himself?

Aside from jokes, terrible teaching method. After a lecture of shortcuts that only he knows how to use, he gives us worksheet problems without giving any direction on how to do it.

Easy class and prof; no quizzes, tests are open note, labs are simple, and homework isn't overbearing. Honestly, I did not learn much from this class and from the lectures so if you want to learn a lot from this class you're better off finding a different prof. Otherwise, Dow is easy and great if you just need to pass the class for your major prep.

Mediocre professor. Makes horrible jokes and his exams are nothing like the study guides. Lectured are very boring and dont have much information. Lets class out early a lot but bumped my grade up one letter

Be active in lecture. Try to work out the problems he does, ask questions. Go back and review the lecture slides/videos and work out the examples. In class- exams were the practice test with numbers changed. Full page notecard. Online-exams based on lecture examples and homework problems. Homework- do it;lenient about due dates. Labs-just do them.

This guy is so bad at being a professor it's unreal. He has no standards, but it's an easy A and you'll still walk out roughly knowing a lot of the concepts. Lectures tell you that he because a professor just to be listened to, but there are some interesting, mostly off topic conversations.

Hands down the worst Professor I have EVER had. Please if you take him because you do not have a choice, GO TALK TO THE DEAN! She needs to hear about what a terrible professor he is! How can he be okay with his terrible lectures, unable to correctly enters grades, and his test being different from the study guide. Please avoid taking him!

Take Keith Dow for Astronomy! Very easy class with interesting lectures. Not a lot of homework at all. He doesn't check attendance, but I would always go to class anyways, because he was just a nice guy!

Professor Dow is great. Hes always happy to go over any and all questions. Online lectures arent mandatory, so u can just want to read the book and answer the hw questions. Exams were just like the hw but with different numbers. Weekly labs and 4 homework's total. Lenient on due dates. Also gives career advice! Need more profs like him!
