Comment:

EASIEST CLASS EVER. Only downside is she explains EVERYTHING in the simplest way possible which can get old FAST. Sometimes she'll over explain and confuse some people. Exams are short and easy. No homework, just quizzes which you have infinite tries on. However, the quizzes are harder than in-class work and than the work you do on exams.

Comment:

Kelly is one of the most caring professors at CSU. She really wants you to pass and will give you the option to get an 8% curve on each test. If you show up every day, she'll curve your whole grade 3%. She's funny and understands most people don't like math and will try to make you enjoy it!

Kelly was honestly so amazing. She was always willing to work with students, very easily accessible outside of class hours. Great at responding to emails. She was always willing to work with me to make sure my grade was doing okay, and took an interest in my personal life so she could best assist me. Has lots of exam review sessions.

Extremely wonderful and kind women, she wants everyone to get an A and she will help in any way to get you there. Come to class, lectures a little slow but you have packets and if you show up you will get no less than on a B each test. Attendance is crucial and you are giving points every class period. GO ITS SO EASY

I did not have her specifically for my class. But she held the review sessions for MATH141 and it really helped. I love the way she explains things as if you never learned them so you can fully get the concept again before a quiz or a test.

Comment:

I did not actually take Kelly for MATH 141 but she did hold review sessions before each exam and office hours. She is one of the best math professors I have ever been taught by and teaches a slow easy to understand pace. She will always make sure everyone understands before moving on and makes herself more than accessible for help out of class.

I didn't have kelly for the semester of calc but I did go to her review session for the final and I can tell you that I understood more in the 2 hours than what was taught over the whole semester. Calc can be rushed but she really took her time to explain everything step by step as well as use tips/tricks/visuals for how to learn it.

Kelly started a tutoring program for Math 141 students this semester. She could not have been more perfect for the job! The course instructor made the material seem so foreign and difficult. Kelly taught in such a way that the material was easy to learn and actually made sense.

She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I was terrified to take calc because I wasn't sure I would get a B for the requirement for business major but ended with an A. She's awesome and will make the material really easy to learn if you put in the work

Dr. Chappell was not the professor for MATH 141, but she held daily tutoring sessions in the Weber Center (Pace Center). She absolutely saved my grade in this class. Make sure that you attend these tutoring sessions and she will be sure to make the class a million times easier. Very great resource for this course.

Dr. Chappell was not my professor for this course, she held study session for the class. She is a life saver !!!! I didn't know what i was doing at all at the beginning. After going to her study sessions, everything made sense. She would go more in depth with explaining and also go over multiple ways to figure out the solution to the problem.

Dr Kelly Chappell is really a great human being. She always make sure everyone understands the concepts and I think she is a great role model for other teachers. You can tell she is passionate about math and that really helps when teaching students that are lost in the class. I wish she was my math 141 teacher but i'm grateful for working with her.

Comment:

Anyone who rates Kelly poorly did not give any effort to the class themselves. This is an easy A type class considering Kelly genuinely cares for her students and their success. With this she always provides extra credit and takes almost a week to help students prepare for the upcoming test. Kelly also starts every class with ways to win a "prize"
