Comment:

Took his class for spring semester 2021 online, the lectures are long but are very high-detailed with lots of interesting information. Craig Keating knows his material well and is very passionate about teaching American History and how things got there in the first place. Just be specific when writing film journals since you do them weekly.

I really enjoyed history 1130 with Keating! I found his grading to be extremely fair and he gave great feedback. His lectures are long but it's a content heavy course and I found them to still be interesting. The textbook is dense and a little boring though. I'd take another class with him for sure

Took his half sem. History of the Middle East class and it was AMAZING. He's a great lecturer and pretty funny as well making it less hard to sit through 3-hour lectures. He's a hard marker but I would say he's fair so I really had no issues with that.

I took his online history course, and it was a fairly good experience overall. I'm not really a fan of history, as I only took the course as an elective, so the material was kind of boring and dry to me. The course material is fairly easy, and he lays out all of the content that will be on the exams. It's an easy class if you put in the effort.

He is a tough grader. Not ready to explain even a few questions during office hours. He has an attitude problem. you need to study very hard to get good marks. I Never suggest him, go for the option.

Professor Craig is hilarious and you can tell that he really enjoys his work, I am taking this class in summer school, so I have to take it 3 hours per time, it's really hard to catch with his lecture since I am an international student. Just keep in mind that try to take as much notes as possible in class, and DO UR WORK!! And you will be ok.

Don't take his online class. Content was posted irregularly, frequent problems w/ D2L links etc, hit or miss with email responses. Course content was v interesting, but lectures were poorly edited w/little text & no subs. Biggest problem: no feedback esp on discussion comments until midterms so you can't gauge what to post about. This was hell.

Amazing lecturer and super easy marker. The course is entirely listening to his lecture, taking notes on a laptop is highly recommended because everything he says should be transcribed, there is zero use of powerpoint notes. Everything is Verbal. 30% of the grade was open book quiz's two 1 page long papers 40%, showing up is 10%, final 20%. EASY!!!

Came to half of the classes and ended up with sold marks on the quizzes, paper, exam and "participation". I didn't even buy the textbook for this course. If you have a general understand of the history of the Middle East between the late 1700's and the present day, you'll do fine.

Online class: don't take it. I've heard Craig is a great prof, but it's hard to see that in his online class. He seems to have frequent issues with the online D2L tools and e-mail. He is often behind on uploading lectures and course materials, as well as marking. Tons of reading, especially since he only uploads 2 hours of lectures for the term.

Craig is an excellent professor, I took the condensed 6-week version of this class & it was fine. Reading the textbook is very important & attending class is not mandatory. Paying attention during the lectures & not going on your phone is also important as he marks participation. You can ask questions at any point during the lecture! he's great

Craig does not appear to like marking, and has the exact same "email" and "computer system" problems that another reviewer mentioned. Quite possibly the worst prof I've ever had both online, and in-person. You will never know how you are doing in this course until you are done.
