She's very nice and the class is an easy A but she assigns group projects all the time because she doesn't know how to teach the class herself

Comment:

This teacher has no clue what she is doing and can't keep track of any of the work students hand in. I both emailed it to her and gave a hard copy. TWICE! She's very easy when it comes to the workload and acts like she knows what she's doing but she really doesn't. She didn't teach us anything.

Comment:

Took her for Writing 2 and the class was a joke. We did nothing. I like not having anything to do as much as the next person but i would of preferred work over listening to her nonsense. I learned nothing and will never take her again.Unclear on the 3 projects we did all year. Don't take her, at least don't take her for Writing 2,you will regret it

Show up and you'll get an A. I suggest you do your work also but she hardly assigns any.

She is very strict concerning attendance and late policies. She often asks you to research things on your own as well rather than just teaching you... she knows nothing about books she teaches.

Comment:

She is a professor who is an easy A. But, she knows absolutely nothing what she is talking about and it is often up to the students to find all of the answers for her. Her lack of knowledge is very evident and it is surprising that she has had so many years of education. She is spacey and often goes off track and is unreasonable with absences.

I had her for British Lit, and I loved it! She taught it like a English/History/film class! She was really great if you need to talk to her.

Comment:

Total quack. When actually up front talking she is talking about her dog or mother. Just please. She assigned presentations every day of class and was never the one guiding students to any conclusions; students could be up front feeding you steaming ****ies on a plate and she wouldn't notice. Agreed w/ below, not accommodating in the least!

Comment:

Well look, she is an easy professor at times. But she is also rather unreasonable with student accommodations. She is the professor who I would expect to fail you if you were sick with Swine Flu and quarantined from classes. She is very disorganized and doesn't seem to know what she is talking about half the time. Not very helpful with questions.

Comment:

Alright listen, this woman is good if all you are looking for is an easy credit. However, she is very unorganized and does not know what she is talking about half of the time. I also have close connections with her and honestly believe that she has a serious lack of concern for the students. If you want your money's worth, pick someone else.

Comment:

Really funny and approachable. She was quite disorganized and flaky, but we all loved it. It took us forever to present our speeches, oftentimes taking two weeks. An incredibly easy 3.5, just remember to attend class, she takes off a certain number of points after a few absences.

Comment:

Nice lady - disorganized. Unwilling to set limits on disruptive students intent on doing as little as possible. Knowledgable. Made a ton of pertinent info available on Blackboard for class to access online. Lots of homework assignments and in class activities that were sometimes graded but primarily intended just for student edification.

She needs to go. Nothing I learned from her can be applied in my classroom. It's all theory, no substance.

Comment:

Unorganized.. at times we were working on presenting 3 speeches/assignments at once. Lots of group/busy work that really had nothing to do with anything. The midterm.. just about the entire class failed or came close to because the answers were so vague. My speech skills.. barely improved. But Dr Kelly is a very approachable person if any problems.

Comment:

Keep up on reading, participate = do well; often comes up with assignments out of the complete blue, and usually forgets by next class; all in-class writing, no papers; don't be interested in something unrelated, or it will become an assignment!

Comment:

We used to jokingly call this co-taught grad course Manhaters 101. They were openly hostile to the token male in class, berated my friend for staying home with a sick kid, saying she was degrading women everywhere, and they were quite disorganized. Interesting, not too hard, but rude.

The class was an absolute joke and waste of my time. She was unorganized and never had a lesson planned. Maybe she's good at other topics and this just wasn't her area
