Comment:
Great Prof! Had him for BIO 310&311. Lecture heavy but doesn't read word for word & makes real life examples, plus attendance inst mandatory. The test are LITERALLY the slides, so just study. Only difficult thing was lab test, calls for a lot of memorization but were not too bad. He's very accessible & willing to work with you. Gives extra credit!

Overall is a great teacher. He is very easy to find outside of class, and easy to talk to. If you follow his power point lectures you should do well in the class.

Mr. Kell is a GREAT professor. He keeps his lectures interesting by telling little stories and using visuals. He also tries to help you understand the names of things or sayings to help you remember the names. He really cares, is very nice, funny, and easy to approach with questions. You MUST study a lot. Tests have 1/3 short answer.

I was nervous to take anatomy, but ended up doing very well! Thanks to Mr. Kell for an awesome semester and help whenever I needed it. I'm taking him again for another class because I know how much he cares about his student's success.

Professor kell is awsome! One of the nicest and most careing professors I have had. If you have a good understanding of his lectures in class, you really don't have to study too hard for the tests. Labs are easy and straightforward. I would love to take another class taught by him.

Mr.Kell is one of many Biology professors at Radford U. that actually CARES about how his students are learning and about the topics that he is teaching. His lessons aren't based on the textbook, solely, as he is well informed on current research and advances in the human anatomical and physiological field. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Mr. Kell IS AMAZING!!! He is always willing to help students who don't understand concepts from class. His exams are straightforward and fair. The textbook is helpful for clarification but going to his office to discuss things will help you more. He actually cares about his students success

Short lab quizzes each week but he tells you what they'll be on. Tests are'nt that hard if you understand all the material and actually study. He also assigns readings from a seperate book (not the textbook) and has a few test questions from that text. More difficult that Arnold but a great teacher. Got an A.

Probably the best proff I've ever had. He want's you to understand the material, and will help you with any question. Test's are tricky but all biology test are. Highly recommend Kell as long as you're willing to work.

Kell is the man! His class is tough at times but if you're into that stuff take class with him. He's a really nice guy, has a sense of humor, and is extremely helpful. Gives lots of grades for chances to keeps your grade or get it up. You learn alot of important info. Bottom line...if you have to take this class take it with KELL!

The test are crayz hard but he is a nice guy. If you have to take bio I'd take him but avoiding it all together would be a better idea. We do not get out early and the labs are not to bad. But I wouldn't recommend this class.

love him! he is so cute and precious. he's obsessed with birds and you DO have to read the "why birds sing" for the tests. he's so likable and he learns everyone's names which is pretty amazing. he's really nice and the class work is easy too. labs are also really easy. just go to class most of the time and you'll be fine. he's the besttttt

Kell is the man. Everyday he is good for a couple of jokes. He also memorizes every students name and he has to have over 300 students. Can not say enough good things about this guy.

Mr. Kell is the man, straight up. If you don't do well on a test, there are tons of assignments that can boost your grade. Lectures can be a little boring, but overall it was a great class. You don't go into great biology details which makes the class easier.
