He's a great professor. I wish I could do more classes with him. He really tries to get you to think pragmatically about the programs in lab. Great demeanor too.

I thought he was a great professor! he is very helpful when it comes to lab and assignments. The material can be very hard if you don't try. He tells funny stories and lectures are always short. I would take him again, just because he is a great person.

great guy, if you show up to class and pay attention there's no way you wont pass. Also take a lot of notes as you'll need them in the lab. He's an awesome teacher, definitely would take again! :)

Comment:

Dr. Kelley is the nicest teacher I have ever had. He will help you entirely in the lab if you are lost. Assignments are somewhat difficult if you didn't go to class, his lectures directly relate to homework assignments. Emailing him and talking to him will get him to help you more. Occasionally cracks jokes.

Really good professor. Nice guy. Thorough on the subject. Teaches well. I learned a lot from him. Programming assignments are really good, thought provoking, and apply to what we learned in class.

Hard class and tests were tough even though they were open book and notes. Very strict on grading, comes off as an **** sometimes but is still willing to help as long as you don't argue. :)

Comment:

MAKE SURE YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS YOU TO DO FOR HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. Docked me points because I did my assignment in a way he didn't want, but didn't tell us not to do in the assignment guidelines. However, he is a really nice guy out of class. Make sure to go to his office hrs and e-mail him if you need help, he'll like you better for it.

I started off thinking i was going to die in the class, but once you figure out what he's all about the class is pretty easy. Programs relate to what you learn, nothing special really, overall I think he's a fine teacher.

Excellent professor, always willing to help students. Seems to be more at home in C than Java, but shouldn't have a problem with studying the API documentation.
