Comment:
Great first year theology class. Have to do readings and 250 word reflections on them but it's just points for doing it. His tests are take-home and he'll give you an A if you put time into it. Participate in class! he is very helpful so just ask him if you are confused about something! I definitely recommend taking him.

Comment:
Dr. O'Keefe is really engaging. We submitted 250 word reflections on the readings which encourages you to keep up. We also wrote 2 papers, and he gave an excellent study guide for midterm/final. There is a lot of reading, but Dr. O'Keefe is one of my favorite professors.

I really liked this class! It wasn't too hard. It is very discussion-based. There was a lot of reading at times and we didn't always completely discuss the reading in class, which was frustrating. Still, I would recommend taking him.

He is an amazing Professor. He really cares about you- he always says if you have a rough week, talk to him and he will push the deadline back. Great to listen to; honestly my most enjoyable class. This was my first THL class and want to take more because of him. Nothing bad to say about him - fair with in his grading, and loves his job! TAKE HIM.

I have learned so much in his class. He really engages in class discussions and wants to hear your opinion. There is a lot of reading though but totally worth it. An A is obtainable but his screwy grading system makes it hard to get one.

An outstanding professor! He truly is passionate about what he teaches in the classroom. I would not take this class with another teacher. If given the chance, I will definitely take OKeefe again.

Great professor. He has a quirky sense of humor. Can seem a little intense at times but he's really smart and willing to share his wisdom with his students. He'll keep you interested!

What a great teacher! My favorite professor thus far. Really enjoys teaching and makes you think. The daily short paper pays off if you do all of them...they are easy. Oh, do bring your Bible to class, he can get upset if you don't bring it. O'Keefe makes theology cool.

Dr. O'Keefe is a really good teacher. I'm not very religious, but his explains it in a clear and understanding way. Daily papers and reading, couple of take home tests. If there is a problem with anything, very understanding as long as you don't lie and email him ahead of time. Go to class, lectures are very useful.

I don't like theology that much, but he definitely made class interesting! It was pretty easy if you studied, and it was more fun the second half of the semester. Be prepared to discuss, it will help the class go by faster!

Comment:
Very intimidating at first. Great teacher, however, you really have to work in this class. He's short and curt sometimes, but he tells you he'll be like this in the beginning of the year. Do the work, don't be stupid and he's probably the best out of all the THL 100 teachers. You may not like him sometimes, but he sounds better than the others.

Comment:
I really liked Okeefe. He has a different way of grading (you get two grades: one for tests/essays, and the other for daily papers. Whichever grade is the LOWEST is the one you get. Ex. if you get a total A for exams/essays, but a D in daily papers, you get a D for the class. sounds bad but it's not too hard to keep up and he is a GREAT guy.

A great teacher. He knows his stuff and he is good at teaching it. Theology is not an easy subject and he knows it, so he does his best to help you understand it. Also, he is very tech savy and will incorporate computers into his lectures. Highly recomended to anyone talking Theology.
