Comment:
He may appear interested in your well being, but his actions reveal that he is biased and hypocritical. He preaches human understanding yet is one of the most condescending people I have ever met. He has favorites and makes them known. He is extremely self-involved. He flaunts his privilege.

Art's amazing. He teaches the most thought provoking classes, and he is really interested in helping people learn if they are willing to put in the effort. Everyone should take a class form him before they graduate. It's completely worth the work.

Comment:
Keene's a great teacher. His lectures were pretty interesting and I learned a lot. Sometimes the movies ran a little long but they were still very informative. If you do the readings and watch all of the films, you should do fine. He doesn't just let you memorize the material and regurgate it, but he makes you think which is better in the long run.

Art Keene is the man. I had him about 4 years ago and his class blew my mind. I learned so much stuff that stayed with me to this point in my life, I'm very thankful to have had him for a prof.

Though I did fine in this class, he seemed to be a really strict grader and other students who were struggling appeared to get very frustrated with him. Nevertheless, the material is very interesting and his presentation of it is a step above par.

Art is a wonderful and helpful professor, even though he doesn't teach ASB (he just oversees the program)the times that I've gone to him for help or with questions he's been more than happy to help!

Avoid this class, avoid this professor. This is not a good introductory anthro class. Keene is pompous and biased, and a ridiculously tough grader, especially for a 100-level course. If you don't know every single little detail that he's looking for, be prepared to fail miserably.
