One of the best professors I've ever had. Cares deeply for the students, and constantly stops to gauge how well we're following along. She has a way of communicating the material so that you can't misunderstand it. Excellent.

Kelly is an amazing person! I took her accelerated calc courses over the summer (calc 1,2,3) and it was the best math experience I've ever had. She really cares about student success and will do all she can to help you. She's always accessible outside of class good office hours, and happy to help via email. All I can say is take her classes!

Took Calc 2 from her and signed up for her class again because she's probably my favorite professor I've ever had. If you have the chance to take Calc from her do it. She really cares about her students. Also the workload is really balanced which I like.

Kelly really, really cares about her students. She provides a lot of resources and she's incredibly helpful during her lectures. The material is difficult and you do have study, however, she makes it really easy to understand. Pay attention during lectures do the daily quizzes and you will do well in the course. :)

Literally created this account to review her. Taking another class from her this semester. She makes all the material really easy to learn and has plenty of office hours/TA hours. 10/10 would recommend.

Comment:

Kelly is hands down the best math professor I've ever had (like by an order of magnitude). I was continually amazed by how much effort and care she puts into the class and supporting her students. She really knows her stuff too, but more importantly knows how to effectively convey this knowledge to students. Amazing!

Comment:

Absolutely fantastic professor. She noticed earlier in the term that I was really stressed out during tests so we met in her office and she gave me a bunch of pointers for better test taking. Really encourages finding multiple ways to solve problems, I'm taking Calc III with her next semester.

Comment:

Kelly is easily the greatest professor/teacher I have ever had. She explains everything in a way that makes sense and actually gets you interested in learning more about the concept, even if you are not a big math fan. She does a great job at encouraging a sense of community among the students. She really cares about the success of her students.

Easily the best math professor I have ever had. Kelly is amazing, and she does everything in her power to help you succeed. Her lectures and guided notes are very informative. Although there is a lot of work required outside of class (long weekly assignments, online lecture videos, etc.), I thought it was worth it. I would recommend her to anyone.

Kelly is hands down the best professor at the University of Utah. She has studied/studying how mathematics is taught, and has developed a course structure that allows every type of learning to work. Guided notes, online videos, and in-class lectures that are very informative. She sets clear expectations on what to know and what exams will be like.

Kelly is so wonderful at teaching. She is very well respected, encourages students to speak up during class, she is so understanding but still has strict rules students need to follow, and she very clearly explains what she expects if her students.

Comment:

She's the kind of person that will have hundreds of students and actually learn everyones name. She's the only professor I've ever had that taught me more math than I learned reading the book. Incredibly intelligent. If you don't understand a concept, she can explain it in several different ways. Excellent in every way

Kelly is by far the best professor I've ever had the chance to take a class with. She really cares about her students, and does whatever she can to help that student succeed in her class. I'll definitely be taking another class with her!!

Comment:

Kelly puts an extreme amount of effort in her classes. She is very community oriented which is very refreshing in a college atmosphere. She is an extremely tough grader, especially on "Math Grammar", but she often makes up for it with opportunities for extra credit. Having Kelly as a professor is by far the greatest experience I've had in math.

Comment:

I went in to this class hearing that Kelly was the best teacher in the math department for calculus. I left this class a firm believer that she is. She makes an incredibly difficult subject immensely easier to understand and I'm definitely not the only one who feels this way. If you ever have the opportunity to learn from her, do not pass it up.

This was the best math class that I have ever taken in my life and it is all thanks to her. The videos and note packets are extremely useful. The lectures are incredibly important but she goes at a pace that the class can keep up. If you ever get the chance to take a class with her, I highly recommend.

Kelly has over 20 years of experience teaching math. She was a software engineer before she started teaching so her logic is sound. She is up there with one of the best math professors/teachers I've had. Her office hours are extremely useful and she is dedicated to seeing her students succeed.
