I had Professor Keller online because he was struggling with his health and the entire time he made it clear that he enjoyed teaching the class and was interested in the topics. The nicest older man I have ever met and I honestly feel honored that I was able to take this class. I liked the setup of his class and watching his lectures. I

Ed is the sweetest professor ever! He's very caring and super passionate about any subject he's teaching. I've taken 2 of his classes and the exams are very fair and the homework is not bad if you pay attention in section. I would highly recommend!!

Definitely knowledgable, an easy grader, and made attendance non mandatory which was great for remote pandemic learning. But most boring lectures I have ever had. If the course were in person we would have actually gone to river sites that may have made up for how terrible his lectures are. Would not recommend.

Im a hydro major so I took 3 classes with him. I survived fine but he spends 90% of class talking about himself and his research, so Ive basically heard his whole life story multiple times in different classes. This is pretty inefficient to actually cover content, and hes not great at explaining stuff. Nice enough person but not a great teacher.

Professor Keller was very understanding as a professor during this pandemic. His lectures weren't mandatory and he was always very friendly and welcoming to all of the students that would show up to class or office hours. He is also a very easy grader so its easy to do well in his class.

He talks A LOT and jokes a lot so it's hard to stay focused on what is actually important. But he's pretty funny and the book is interesting. He is easy going and very approachable. Slides are on Gauchospace but they don't always have words, so if you don't go to class, read the book. Writing your essays is the best way to study for MT & final.

Don't take this course w/ Keller. His lectures don't make any sense & his slides have hardly any words. His midterms, labs, and final aren't written in coherent english & include math that he never taught us. The first midterm was so unfair that the TA had to write the 2nd midterm instead so that the whole class wouldn't fail

Do not take coastal processes. He is one of the most boring lecturers and theres two midterms both worth 20% of your grade. The final is worth 30%. It is absolutely ridiculous. The midterms are hard and theres no clear way to actually prepare for them. Professor makes the material not worth taking the class, nice guy but its time for him to retire.

Please don't take ENVS 134, Coastal Processes and Management if you don't have to. This class was disappointing. All of the exercises that are group projects. The lectures were poor, Dr. Keller only briefly mentions the things he will test on, and the final had questions that weren't covered anywhere.

There's a textbook with lots of reading, but he goes over it in lecture. BEWARE: he doesn't get to it all & with mostly images for slides, you may get lost if you 100% ditch the book. It can be hard to stay focused bc he talks a lot, but he's funny so you get a laugh here and there! Multi choice exams are simple, some tricky q's, but doable.

My favorite professor, great character with lots of stories. Very nice outside of class and actually loves being around his students. This class wasn't easy by any means, but what would you expect with "engineering geology" as the title. Homework assignments were tough since they were usually just manipulating physics equations, but tests were fine

Lectures are jam packed with irrelevance. He cant make a valid point to save his life, just insists u buy the book he wrote. Oh and the Tas wont be bothered with your "petty"(actually said this)questions either. Youve been warned. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.
