Comment:

Dr. Kelshaw is the man! He is so energetic, and ready to teach. The concepts in the class can get a bit boring, but he himself is a great teacher. The paper at the end of the class is annoying, however you get it done with your team if they put in the work aswell.

He's a super sweet guy, and really tries to help, but a little too in his own head about the topic he teaches.

Toddy is such a lovely person and I think everyone should take him. He is so well versed in the field, and one of the smartest people ever. Sometimes the way he phrases test questions are confusing though. Overall, such a sweet and smart guy. Take him!

Kelshaw will help you with anything you need. Keep in mind he teaches a big lecture with over 100 students. You have to come up to him to get his attention. I recommend you participate and he will like you. Be a fly in the wall, he won't know your name. Pop quizzes come, and I got scared from the first one, but managed after. Test are online.

Comment:

He's so sweet and welcoming. Classes are super easy, however, the tests and quizzes are worded horribly. All quizzes are online and open book, same with pop quizzes in class. He shows funny videos and uses examples in everyday life to try and help you understand the content better.

Professor Kelshaw is the most down to earth, caring professor I have ever had.

Comment:

I had no interest in taking this class, but ended up learning a lot about leadership. Sometimes it feels like a drama class because of how many times you'll play out different scenarios. Towards the end of the semester he creates leadership exercises to boost up your grade. He loves this material and will try to involve everyone. I say take him!

Comment:

He is one of the most energetic and engaging professors that I've had, however he is also probably one of the hardest graders I have ever had. He will rip your paper apart and say you did it all wrong, even if you try your best. I've always been a good writer and I enjoy it, but I have never been able to get past an 85 no matter how hard I tried.

Comment:

Todd Kelshaw is a good professor and it's obvious he loves his job, but I found his class to be a bit difficult at times. Lectures can get boring, but he tries to keep you engaged. This class requires quite a bit of work and 3 group projects. I probably wouldn't take him again, but he is a really nice guy all around.

It's obvious he loves his job which actually helps you care about his class more. He's understanding towards freshmen and is always willing to help. As long as you don't save your work for last minute you'll do fine. Another tip is to get your assignment done beforehand and show it to him as a draft. He'll definitely help you improve.

Comment:

This is the first time I have taken Kelshaw for Mediated Org. Wish I didn't its not miserable but if you could avoid I would. You have atleast 5 group projects and first couple weeks into the semester you already have the first one due and then the second one starts a week later. His lectures are long and boring. .DONT BE LATE,HE HATES IT

Comment:

Kelshaw is a great professor. I took him for speech over the summer and he helped improve my public speaking tremendously. Gives a lot of great feedback and always tries to help students who are struggling and is very understanding about students with a fear of public speaking. Couldn't have asked for a better professor for this kind of class.

Comment:

Dr. Kelshaw is one of the greatest professors I've ever had. He is always in a great mood, is patient, and always makes sure that everyone understands what's going on in class. He is fair with his grading. This class requires three in-class group projects and another group project throughout the semester. Don't like group work? Don't take it.

Comment:

I enjoyed my graduate class with Dr. Kelshaw. He always came prepared with great power point presentations, real examples and clear explanation of the topic. I liked that he asked to write case studies during the semester.It helped to refresh the material we studied,instead of one big paper at the end of the class. Very knowledgeable and helpful
