Super chill professor with a great teaching style. He's fairly straightforward and extremely helpful. He's almost always available and promptly answers everyone's email. Even though the time of the class (4-6:50pm) totally sucked, the movies we watched were pretty enjoyable. Overall, a good class to take for a GPA booster. Very easy to approach.

I don't know why Prof. Kelly doesn't have an evaluation....he is awesome! The classes are loooong and I took the class at a lousy time of the day (4-6:50), so I would come to class already dragging and would usually get pretty bored. However, I honestly think the only reason I felt this way was due to the class length and the time of day because Prof. Kelly was great...funny, charismatic, and super cool--cracked jokes that were funny and relevant, talked with the class totally naturally, and wore converse with his dress clothes lol...anyways, it isn't necessary to go to every lecture but, with the way the class is run, I would suggest attending most lectures which is what I did...plus you have to come every other week for an exam anyways.

The breakdown of the class was this:

4 exams (100 points each) x 15% each= 60%
Final Paper= 40%

All the tests were pretty fair (based on the lectures and readings-which were important to read) but any problems with the test were compensated by a helpful curve, but I definitely advise studying well for them and putting time into learning the material.

Overall, I loved Prof. Kelly. He was super helpful, very understanding of the needs of his students, and did everything with a smile and sense of humor! I put hard work and a good amount of time into his class (probably because the material was interesting and enjoyable to study) so if you do the same, expect a great class and an A!
