Dr. Kelly is one of the most essential professors to take as a history major at UTSA. He is truly passionate about the history department and very knowledgable about outside opportunities such as internships and potential jobs. His classes are very easy as long as you follow his podcast and take notes. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Comment:

He is highly disorganized and chaotic. He will say something several times and forget about it. His TA does all the work. If you plan on meeting with him outside of class, then good luck, because he might cancel last minute (AKA after your meeting time together has already started). He isn't very helpful and the work you do will be almost all solo.

Dr. Kelly offer extra credit. His lectures are worth attending and the quizzes are mostly from his lectures, podcasts and reading (it's not that bad). Review previous quizzes for midterms. I highly suggest attending SI sessions and communicating with Dr. Kelly. He is a very cool professor. Take this class!

Dr. Kelly is one of the best professors that I've ever had! He is so knowledgeable and his lectures are AMAZING. I arranged my entire schedule for this semester around Dr. Kelly's class. If you do the reading and take good notes, you'll pass with no problems. Extra credit opportunity was amazing, too!

Dr. Kelly is a GREAT professor! I took his hybrid course. We only meet on tuesday's and have a quiz and then watch a podcast on thursday. His quizzes are basically from the podcast along with the reading he assigns. Books are fairly cheap and you WILL need them to pass. WOULD take again and I highly recommend him.

Professor Kelly is one of the best professors to take at UTSA. He's super funny and although every in-class meeting requires a quiz to be taken, he makes your time there worthwhile. I took him in hybrid class so basically you do a bunch of reading and watch his podcasts when you do not meet in class. Only two tests. Definitely recommend.

Great professor. I took him for hybrid class and the podcasts were pretty interesting. Much reading involved and there's 2 evaluations aka tests to be done. Other assignments as well. Fair grader. I wish he taught more classes because I would definitely take him again.

Dr. Kelly is an amazing professor. He is very knowledge about the subjects he teaches. He is engaged in the class and loves to run group discussions. He is very helpful in guiding students through their college career as well, he's just as good as my advisor if not better! I take him every chance I get.

Dr. Kelly is very passionate about history. He really knows what he is talking about. Extremely helpful to his students who need it. He made history exciting. Do the readings and you'll pass the quizzes and in turn the exams. Would definitely take him again.

He's one of my favorites! Proff. Kelly is so funny, his lectures are always interesting. I took a hybrid class so you do have to listen to podcasts. There is a lot of reading that you must do if you want to pass the quizzes he gives at the beginning of every class. Don't blow them off because they add up. Extra credit offered and drops low q. grade

Dr. Kelly was awesome this semester. He is very helpful, gives extra credit at the end of the semester, and he is absolutely hilarious. He makes his class and his online lectures very interesting. I came into this class expecting to hate it, but Texas History has become one of my favorite classes. He really cares about his classes. Great guy!

It's a hybrid course, so you meet once a week. He's hilarious and his lectures are all very interesting whether or not you enjoy the subject. He answers his emails quickly and is willing to meet outside of class to help. You must read the textbook to pass and also listen to his podcasts. I would take him again any day.

Honestly one of the best instructors I've had He's hilarious & approachable. Answers emails promptly. As long as you read material, doesn't have to be thoroughly though - you'll do just fine. He made class enjoyable. Very clear on what he requires from students. Organized & gets to the point. Wish he taught all subjects

He changed his whole game up. I took him for history civil to present, the second part of regular history credit, and he was so nice and easy going. everything was great. I walk into his tx history class the next semester and now you really have to read, study and write papers. he heard rumors about his class being too easy. he will help, just ask.

Funny & interesting lectures. He does give pop quizzes, extremely helpful since some questions may appear on exam. Exams are typically less than 50 Q's. He might repeat several things in podcastclass but do stick wyou when it come to taking exam. Only read my book when it was exam time. Listen to podcast & during lecture & you'll do fine!

The hybrid format is great; class only meets once a week and there is generally a short quiz in class. He makes it really clear what you need to know, but is VERY repetitive (to the point of annoyance). Kind of a wacky guy, but pretty cool. Quizzes are usually 10 questions plus one bonus, tests are 40 questions plus one or two bonus. Pretty easy.

Great teacher!!!!!! His lectures are posted as 1-2 hours of podcasts weekly and I only met in class once a week. (There was a quiz almost every class over the podcasts, but they were always super easy!) I never bought the book, I just watched and took notes on the podcasts and I did great!! The podcasts are interesting, too! Favorite class ever!

Professor Kelly is an absolutely amazing professor! He was always available for his students. He is super funny and knows how to teach. If history is not your thing you will do good in class because he makes things so interesting... A must take professor.
