Comment:

Dr. Kelly was my fave professor, made me want to be an SLP. Knows her stuff, professional, adequately challenges her students to educate & prepare for grad school & the field, supportive & helpful. If u studied & were passionate, u did well. If u didn't, don't blame Dr. Kelly.

Comment:

Dr.Kelly is such a knowledgeable professor.You really need to pay attention and work hard in her class. I walked away from her class with a much better understanding of speech pathology, and although she is tough I look forward to having her again. You need to prepare yourself to work hard in order to get a good grade. Take her you will learn alot

Comment:

She was the WORST professor. Her lectures were VERY confusing. She didnt use a textbook. She was arrogant as anything. Her exams were dreadful and I really wish that ANYONE else taught this course, ANYONE. She made me drop out of something I really wanted, Speech Path. Basically, SHE SUCKS!

Comment:

I think she is a great teacher. You really have to know how to take notes. Her class is enjoyable if you stay on top of what she is talking about. She is sweet, and very helpful in her office hour and even in as well as out of class. She's great

Comment:

Her lectures are very confusing. I've never had more incomplete sentences in my notebook,ever. She's tough but knows her stuff. Seems like a great Clinician but should not be teaching. She talked about herself A LOT! Wish there was someone else besides her who taught this course.

Comment:

She is an arrogant person who thinks she is smarter than anyone else. She has no personal skills, and is suppose to be teaching, yet always seems to be talking about herself. too bad its the last speech class, b/c im leaving st. joes with a bad memory

Comment:

I actually changed my major after taking her class. The project was ridiculous and way too much for an undergrad class. She also was unclear about what material would be on the test; which by the way, was essay only. No multiple choice, no True or False. BORING AND DIFFICULT

Comment:

I thought Dr. Kelly was great. She is tough, but reasonable. I learned a lot in her class. She was more than fair with the mid-term and final. I heard people were upset about how she gave notes, but it really wasn't that bad. If you don't want to be a speech major - then don't be. (Just FYI, Graduate school isn't going to be easy either.)

one of the worst professors i've had at st. joes. she does not explain things well, and her tests and papers are so hard. not a warm person, did not get along with her. Made me almost want to change my major.

Don't take her..too much work, she is not clear in terms of articulating her concepts, and her tests are just plain ridiculous. She is kind of annoying because she is a little full of herself.

she can be very vague as to assignment instructions, and her notes can be very random and disorganized. paper grading has more to do with style than substance and is arbitrary.

Dr. Kelly was the best teacher I have ever had.The midterm and final were difficult, but If you really wanna be in speech and study, you'll do fine.She told us all the essays anyway. I love Dr. Kelly, I learned sooo much from her.

This lady talks so fast that you cant even write down all that you need to. She doesnt repeat herself often n when she does she chages what she said.The MIDTERM was crazy you had to know 45 definitions and it was all fill in the essays was choose 2 and they were only worth 5 pts or 10 each STAYAWAY

Comment:

She may know about Speech Pathology but she is completely unhelpful for advisment.I have to take an extra semester bc she "advised" me to take classes that I didnt need and suggested to take only 15 credits each semester and only 2 speech classes every semester.DO NOT GET ADVISED BY HER!!MEAN, TOO!

She can be very unclear and a little harsh at times but she knows her stuff. One could learn alot from her if you WORK and do what you need to do.
