Comment:

Dr Kelly is the most amazing, thoughtful professor I have had at Pace. The lectures are big- it is SO important to go to her office hours. She cares about each student and has gone above and beyond to help me, even outside of bio related issues. She acknowledges that the class is hard, so putting effort in (office hours) will help your grade.

I had Kelly for lecture and lab and shes literally the sweetest person. The class itself is difficult, but she does her best to simplify topics. Homework every week, but its graded only on completion. Get to know her and go to her office hours!!

Comment:

Horrible horrible teacher. I hated her class. She cant teach at all and she grades without mercy. Her midterm is nothing like her lectures. She gives very little instruction and expects you to teach yourself. She also told us theres no way to study bio Whats the purpose of me taking the class then? If you can avoid her classes, please do so.

Doctor Kelly is very kind and caring. That being said, I had her for lecture and she asks a lot of questions using the iClicker in her class. These helped my understanding a lot, especially when she gave us multiple chances to talk to others to figure out the questions. Definitely recommend going to her office hours if you have her.

Comment:

If you have Dr Kelly, go to her office hours, try and get to know her well, she's the least scary professor I have ever met and she just wants to see her students happy. if you have the opportunity, go to her office hours. She's extremely easy to talk to, and is completely understanding with mental health issues. She's the mom of the bio dept.

Bio 101 is supposed to be a hard course... go to office hours and ask questions and you will be fine. Read textbook before going to class, and focus on the review questions on mastering biology.

She's a fine professor. Don't like being forced to buy her textbook. Have her repeat stuff if needed. Ask her stuff, she might seem harsh at some points but she is helpful and cares enough to solve your problem. She might be very busy at times though.

Comment:

Mom is truly the best professor I have had at Pace yet far. Going into this class I was so nervous because I heard that she was mean. However, she truly does care about each and everyone of her students. Going to her office hours are key to doing well in the class. Don't wait until right before the test, make sure you are prepared well before hand.

Dr. Kelly does not get enough credit. She really makes you work for your grade, but if you put in the work you will definitely get a good grade. Reading these reviews I was very nervous going into this class, but TRUST ME just do as she tells you and you will succeed.

Okay everyone here is freaking out way too much. I read all these before going to her class and i was so worried and I am here to tell you NOT to worry. She is actually one of the few profs at pace that teach. She goes very in depth. You have to read the textbook and stay up on the subjects. Honestly a great professor, do not let this site scare u

Her lectures are somewhat interesting, but her tests are not based on her lectures. I recommend reading all the chapters before her exams and you will pass. I stopped going to lecture because I realized that I wasn't learning anything by going, but she sometimes gives participation points by putting us into groups. Don't let this class discourage u

Writes her own reviews. She's a horrible professor and will make you change your major. Ask people around campus who have taken her course and you will hear the response they give you. Its the most accurate!

Comment:

Dr Kelly was the worst teacher/professor I've ever had since 4th grade she is always talking about her family, and that subject is probably the best thing about her class. You will most definitely fail this class. She almost never gives anything to study off of, and is always giving pop quizzes.

Comment:

If she was really smart Dr. Kelly would have actually been a real doctor. She constantly talks about her family in class when in reality no one really cares.... Her labs were okay pretty boring. Her lectures are lengthy and she makes her tests the exact test banks. She says they are challenging but if you look at test banks you'll realize its easy

Comment:

I remember I had class with her before a chem exam, and a lot of people didnt come to class so they could study, so she gave even more pop quiz questions than usual just to screw them over. Also, she said "our tuition" bought the scan tron machine. I find that very inappropriate, and rude.
