Comment:

I liked Dr. Kelly. The class was pretty easy, and I was inspired by the observations and interactions we did. There was not really much actually taught by Dr. Kelly. Most of our learning was through videos, group projects, and the observations, but I learned a lot none the less. I recommend this class.

Comment:

She is not the best teacher because her grading criteria is very unclear, she moves quickly, and there are many projects HOWEVER she is extremely nice, and is a very lenient grader. She tries to take off as few points as possible. So long as you show up to class and do your work, you are likely to pass with a good grade.

Comment:

Professor Kelly was the worst professor I've ever had. She does not explain her assignments and when you ask questions, she does not answer them. She did not post grades so you had to often guess what you had. You have observe a child for 15 hours outside of class time which was stressful to make time for. I would recommend taking another prof.

Super sweet lady, not the best at teaching though. She goes really fast. But if you study for the quizzes and do the assignments (quite a few of them) you should get an A. Just expect a good amount of work.

Lectures are long. Lots of busy work and assignments. Regular quizzes, no tests. If you actually do the work and study, you will be fine, but it's definitely no easy feat!

Comment:

Very nice lately. Not a terrible teacher if you have to. Shouldn't receive lower than A-B range. Class is dragged out and boring. Loves busy work, power points and videos. Quizzes are fairly easy if you study. She has four assignments that have to do with observing a class, they are all easy As except the last one is a lot of work.

Comment:

She's an easy professor, but the class was a waste of time. She hardly teaches and just gives busy work and work straight from the text. It's an easy A, but you don't learn anything.

She reads from the text book a bit too much which is a shame because she is a doctor. She is a nice lady though.
