Kelly is phenomenal, one of the most down to earth profs I've ever had. She's great at making the material seem relevant, which is a hard thing to do sometimes in first year English; she makes her subject engaging and fun. She is the funniest prof I've ever had too.

Kelly is a fantastic teacher. You definitely have to work for your grade, and I couldn't imagine being able to do well in this class without participating or showing up to class. Kelly is a hard marker, but she gives good feedback. She is also hilarious; this course had a war literature focus, so it helped lighten the general mood.

Hilarious! Will have you laughing. She seems to say what everyone else is thinking, super down to earth, understands what it was like being a student. She will give you extra time when you need it! She is a tough grader but wants you to pass and will give you the tools to do so.

I'm used to getting A's in english and this prof made me fully doubt my ability. Although she's quirky and has a good sense of humour, I would not take it again. Definitely lowered my GPA.

She is a good teacher so their is no need to drop out or be afraid. She says in the beginning of the course that if you ever need help come and see her. I recommend that you should if you are having trouble. (Also go to the English Help Centre, they are great too). Just remember to work hard when writing your essays. Don't be lazy...

Coming from highschool with an A in english I excpected to do a little better so maybe im just salty. I really had to work for a B+ with Kelly. Classes were entertaining and Kelly can be really funny. I don't however feel like my writing improved much in this course.

Kelly is very funny and one of my favorite professors. The class involved a novel study, many short stories, and poems. All exam questions are given before the exam. Wrote 7 quizzes, 5 paragraphs, 2 papers and exam had 4 paragraphs and 1 paper. Discussion-based class so don't skip!

Kelly Pitman is a wonderful english professor, she actually made english enjoyable for me. Make sure you come to class EVERY day, if you do not, you will FAIL. Participation is a must. Kelly gives excellent support and feedback, she is always available for a chat, and is a tough but fair grader. She has a wonderful sense of humour. Get a printer

Tough grader, but will help you improve to meet her standards! She picks some phenomenal stuff for reading, and is -very- funny. Basically, ask for help if you need help. She is approachable and I believe she really wants to help.

Comment:

Kelly is a fair marker. As long as your writing is above a high school level you should have no problem with the essays. She doesn't even put firm deadlines on any of the written work, so an A is all but guaranteed. In class group work was done almost every class. The reading the reasonably paced. There was only one significant test.

Comment:

She picked interesting reading material but she is a brutally hard marker for a 100 level english course. She is super helpful but if she doesn't like your ideas or point of view about a topic that you write about she gives you a poor grade. She has a great sense of humour though, which is refreshing! Don't skip class either, she will hold a grudge

Comment:

Kelly is an amazing person and teacher. I would not say this class was "easy", because she challenges you to be creative and express ideas. She not only taught me about the stories and history behind them, she made you think about major aspects of life in general. I cannot wait to take another one of her classes! She's just awesome...

Kelly is an amazing professor. Made me want to drop business and pursue an English degree just so I could take more classes with her, but alas, she only teaches one or two a semester. One of the best profs Camosun has to offer.

I didn't want to take this class but ended up liking it. Kelly helped me be a better writer and picks really interesting stuff to read. I sometimes wished she'd lecture more cause what she has to say will get you thinking. And she looks awesome. A real sweetie.

Kelly is wonderful. She teaches students not only to understand, but love material. She is so fun and inspirational. Take her class, there is not a better English prof at Camosun. Also, attendance isn't mandatory, but you will do better if you go to her classes. They're fun anyhow, so go.

Kelly is the best! She's fun and interesting! Even if you're not a big fan of poetry, you'll enjoy it with her. Take her class, you won't do better.
