Comment:

professor Kelly, well you can either love her or hate her. I genuinely felt her intimidated when I took her class for 131 but I got through it and took her 132 class. she's a tough grader she knows when you haven't put in the work, or when your trying. participation is key, she gives you a quiz and lecture exam for each chapter and a lab quiz.

She makes you beg for a good grade and she has favorites in every class. If youre not one of them good luck with getting over a C in her class

She gives a lot of lab quizzes and lecture quizzes. In lecture you take a lot of notes and if she ask a question, you are expected to know every single answer. Shes really rude at times.

Dropped this class because she was horrifific and made me feel like I had no chance to pass. She didnt upload grades but told us we should know where we are in her class. She was so negative and believed everyone was going to do bad. Spoke about things she had no purpose speaking about which could and did offend others. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

Comment:

I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Kelly, she definitely uses tough love. She wants all of her students to succeed in their careers which is why she is tough on them. She expects students to review daily and be ready for the quizzes and exams. There are NO pop quizzes, she wants you to pay attention in lecture and study. Attend classes you'll do fine.

Hardest class I had to take. Was unable to focus on other classes because she had assigned SO MUCH HOMEWORK. Quiz just about every week, labs were extremely stressful. Do not recommend taking this class with her!!

Professor Kelly is someone who you will likely either love or hate. Behind her tough outer shell, she truly cares about her students and pushes them to do their best. Don't take any of her courses unless you are willing to give 100%; let her know you are willing to give everything you've got, and she will meet you half-way.

Comment:

By far the worse teacher I have came in contact with, not only is she a tough grader, but she picks favorites and doesn't care to let it be know. She is very rude, and at times mean. She doesn't care if your you mother passes away or your dying from cancer, if you are not one of her "favorites" you're nothing!

She is very caring. She may not off the back seem like it but she is a professor that really care about her students who care about there college career. STUDYING IS A MUST. If you can keep up with studying everyday then you will pass. She is the realest professor, she tell you like it is. You will have fun, I mean why have a boring class?

She only grades test/quizzes. There are extra credit assignments but they don't help much. If you are a bad test taker, I DO NOT recommend her!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are serious about your studies you will have NO problems at all. Show up on time, be prepared and do the work it takes to succeed and you'll have no issues! Her lectures are great, it's like a lecture and a show. She makes it fun and enjoyable. Her test and quizzes are VERY fair and lecture related! If you fail, it's your fault not hers.

Beware do not take her ever! She makes her stuff extremely hard. Its like she doesnt want to see anyone do well!! If you 1 minute late you'll be kicked out. She makes jokes that arent funny at all and could sometime be offensive! And when you ask for help its like she makes you feel not smart and no student should feel like that ever dont take her

I LOVED Professor Kelly! This course is tough, but she truly has your best interest in mind! If you do the work and pay attention, it will pay off! I learned so much in her class! She is great! She is very fair. Study her way and you really shouldn't have a problem! She will whip you into shape, something most college students need! Loved it all!!!

At times, you will want to pull your hair out. Although, I believe that in ten years when you look back on school, while performing your dream job, you will reminisce and be thankful for the valuable lessons on hard work and diligence that Professor Kelly instills in you as a student. The bad comments here are from those not ready to work hard.

Horrendous teacher. Do not let her run you away from Biology. She is in no way representative of all BIO teachers. I would avoid her section (in any class) at all costs.

It's an extremely hard course. She tries to prepare for the bio class needed in the future. She is some what helpful, but not helpful enough. If you know you will be taking this class I would email her and think about getting tutoring right away!!

Comment:

She is tough but its with your interest at mind. She is just preparing everyone to do great in 131 and 132. Anyone whom doesn't like her is usually a major slacker and prob shouldn't be in a college level course. If your a hard worker and prepared for the real world this class is for you!
