Comment:

Although she jumped around a lot during her lectures. Her class was enjoyable. No Exams, but Essays. She was a tough grader so be prepared to write really well 6-8 page Essays. Homework was on Connect and she counted Participation as part of your grade. Knew her stuff, but she often would rushed her lectures. Come to class and participate.

Comment:

Professor kelly is a funny professor. She has really long lectures that can get funny at times but also boring. She uses connect but posts all the assignments at once so you can get the 2 week trial and finish it all. She does give participation points for showing up quite often so it'd be best to go to her class.

She is a very nice professor, easy on grading paper. 4 essay exams, one paper, one presentation. Her lectures can be boring sometimes but she cares about her students.

Comment:

Be prepared for feminism in the extreme followed by poor scholarship and historical misconceptions. Take the class if you want to be preached at, but her women's history course cannot be taken seriously by anyone with a discerning mind. Took this class as a historian wanting to survey an interesting course, very disappointed in the professor.

She was very boring to listen to and she was very harsh on the papers. online homework was easy but then we had our final at the end of class and it was the entire book. also she did not give a study guide for the exam. i do not recommend her.

I admit I was very negatively critical of her the entire class. She gave me a "tough teacher" kind of vibe....But I realize if you do your work the best you can you'll be OK. And if you tell her you need help she will offer it to you, just not at last minute. She dose need to be more calm on the essays though

Comment:

Women's Studies has by far been my favorite class at OCC. She is really passionate about what she teaches and if you do the worksheets, you'll end up with a good grade. She lets you skip 4 worksheets and I highly recommend waiting and skipping the last 4 because you don't use them to help on any essay exams. TAKE HER.

I liked her class, it was very easy. She knows her stuff, and it passionate about history. I got 100% on all of my quizzes, because she prints out the questions, so you only have to find those answers in the reading. Sometimes she is short with her students, but I don't feel talked down to. She grades extremely easily on her essays as well.

Boring. Research project is impossible to do, she needs to calm down and realize that this is a community college, and we're not writing a thesis for graduate school.

I'm pretty surprised by these reviews. Yeah, okay, like most big lecture classes it's a bit dull, but it's required for some of us. She's a very nice woman who clearly knows her stuff and cares about her topic. The class is really easy to do well in if you do all the assignments and study a little bit. There's one presentation, get a decent group.

Comment:

She's always trying "new things" which isnt good for her current class. Shes extremely boring and its hard to hang on to her lecture. Online quizzes help your grade a lot but i didnt enjoy her class at all. She has a tendency to treat you like a 5 year old. At the end of class to make sure you attend theres a 5 point participation assignment...

Comment:

Boring, unorganized, unprepared and a waste of time. Very easy if you do all the assignments. I got an A. Unfortunately I did not learn anything. She was also completely blind to any reason she had such low attendance in our class and assumed we were lazy college kids.

Comment:

Excellent professor. She requires both a mid-term research paper and a powerpoint presentation. There are take home quizes straight from the book. Save them because they will be needed for studying for her multiple choice final exam! I took 102 and 103 in the same semester and got A's. Pay close attention to her comments on your essays!

Comment:

The class is boring at times and sometimes she gets off topic, but she definitely knows what she's teaching. I really like history so it wasn't so bad for me. Do the take home quizzes! There's an in class essay, but she gives you the topics ahead of time so it's easy and the final is multiple choice with 80% coming from the quizzes.

I was a slacker, did all my hw, didn't study much, failed my essays and thought I failed the class. But I was 20 pts away from an A. Never liked history though. Easy class but boring. DO YOUR OUTLINES/HOMEWORK!! It will save you! Tests = essays. Extra credit available.

Most of my class loved Kelly and the class. She's extremely passionate about history, which is a treat when she lectures. Classwork is extremely manageable because she spaces all of the work evenly throughout the semester. Extremely fair grader. Really engages with students and is extremely helpful.
