Comment:

Very difficult grader. You can literally get every answer right on a test and end up with a 70 because your work was not exactly how she wanted it. Test are too long and are hard to complete in time. She gives out a lot of online homework that is very tedious and can take hours to complete especially once the material gets harder. Avoid taking.

Comment:

Doesn't give you enough time for tests. Doesn't give enough time for online hw and assigns too much homework. Do not understand how she grades. When you get the right answer you can still lose 8/10 points if your work is not the way she wants it.

Comment:

Prof. Kelleher is perhaps the best math teacher that I have ever had, she really knows what she is teaching. However, if you are looking to simply ride along in her class, then I'd say stay clear. Lots of homework, and for me it was a quiz at the beginning of every class (except during test days). Show her that you care and go for extra help!

Comment:

Dr Kelleher is a teacher who is past her prime and shouldn't be allowed to teach at a bachelors level. She is by far the hardest grader at my school. Her contemporaries average test grading is at least 25% higher than hers, while they are still teaching the exact same materials. She is a terrible teacher.

She is a great professor, easy to understand and always willing to clarify material if needed. The grading is difficult and you need to do as work out of class as in, but if you study hard you'll succeed in her classes.

Dr. Kelleher's a great teacher. Teaches the material clearly in class but is very willing to give extra help. To pass you just need to put the work in outside of class.

Very good tutor, can't really teach a class. Because I went to see her so much for extra help, she gave me the points I needed to pass the class.
