Comment:

Professor Nims is an exceptional and inspiring human being, and is well endowed in her lecturing. However when it comes to grading, giving feeeback, and actually being a Professor, it is slim to none. Some people arent just cut out to be a teacher, and she needs to reevaluate her profession.

Lot of reading (it's a Lit class), she's by far my fav prof at Baruch. Her mid term is hard, she tells you that up front, gives you plenty of extra credit. She grades tough on your two papers, but again extra credit. Take her class, participate in the discussions and you'll have a lot of fun.

I have mixed feelings about her. She's very funny and her lectures are very entertaining but I'm like 90% sure she didn't give me the grade I deserved and I feel like it's because of an opinion I expressed that she didn't exactly share. When I calculated my grade including the extra credits it didn't match up to what she gave me. She's nice though.

this is a long over due rating. I took her last fall. She is by far the best professor I have taken in Baruch. She is the coolest and is never boring. Straight forward and gives room to improve your grade. Also, when I had a death in my family and she looked out. Wish I could take her again. Danny D.

Comment:

She is amazing. Second semester at Baruch, so far her lecture is my favor. Read everything that she ask for, they are all in syllabus, so you can read them ahead. 2 papers, she grades them base on your ideas and thought, not how well you can write. Midterm and Final are fair, as long as you do the readings and reviews.

Comment:

By far the best professor Baruch has to offer. Intense reading but she explains everything in class so clearly and is really funny while doing it. There was never a dull class because of her. She really challenges you to think. You'll probably fail the midterm but it's okay because she offers great extra credit. I would recommend her to everyone.

Comment:

Insanely light workload (if you're used to writing papers) and so easy to talk to. She assigned 4 response papers, 1 group project, 1 formal essay and then the final paper. No midterm, No Final. She's pretty strict about her page length and attendance. Not an easy A class. She goes through books pretty quickly so you need to keep up. I recommend.

Comment:

Prof. Nims is an amazing instructor. She tells great stories and is very kind, but she's also blunt- if your work is bad, she'd tell you outright. The class is interesting and stimulating- two essays, 4 quizzes, and a final (but that's only for the summer session). I recommend her to anyone I can, even though you'll have to work for a good grade!

Comment:

Professor Nims is hilarious! She always go off topic and tells you something interesting (mostly her trip in Africa). Sometimes I fell asleep and her interesting stories always woke me up. The papers are long (5-7 pages) but its doable! Do extra credit. It'll boost your grade. Also, like other people say, you'll most likely fail the midterm.

Comment:

Dr. Kelly Nims is one of the best professors at Baruch! Although she is a great professor, her class is arguably one of the hardest you will ever take. She gives two papers, a group project, a midterm, and a final. She's willing to help you and tries to relate the (boring) material to present day issues. I definitely would take her again.

Comment:

She is a very good professor, very intelligent and into the material. Her course goes exactly according the syllabus, there was discussion groups on BB almost every week, two papers and a midterm and final. She will destroy your paper if its bad, but allows one revision. She lets you do a ton of extra credit which may help your grade.

I had a great time in this class because she's so passionate. Her class is the right amount of difficulty (not that easy but not that hard either). You'll most likely fail the midterm but she gives an easy final and extra credit. Also, participate and she'll reward you. And DON'T BE LATE, trust me. Oh and she's easy on the eyes too!

Prof. Nims runs a great class. Expect to be challenged but you will be rewarded for your effort. Prof. Nims is extremely intelligent and wonderfully engaging. This class is a true college level class that requires critical thinking. I could not have enjoyed this class more.

Dr. Nims is an incredibly engaging teacher! Her classes are all discussion based and she chooses books that will keep you interested, for the most part. She wants you to follow her format for informal and formal papers, but her grading is fair. Never overworked, and she has fair expectations of her students.

LOOOVE NIMS!!!! I never thought I would learn so much from someone, not just about the course subject, but even myself. Dr. Nims has to be one of the most influential professors in my college career, period! It really should be a crime not to take one of her classes prior to graduating-from any major! She is an awesome person, in/outside of class.

If you did not take her class then you are missing out. Her class discussions are uber interesting and funny at the same time. She is extremely passionate about her work thus we benefit from that. Fit your other classes around her class because it is worth it. If you love to read then this is the class for you if not run away. Two thumbs up!!!!
