Dr. Kelley is by far the most fun professor I ever had. She is funny and makes class fun, but she also challenges you. She knows the material and loves teaching it. I would recommend her to anyone. Her class was my favorite in my college career.
Dr. Kelley is an awesome teacher who really knows her material! She is fair to those who work hard and appreciate the class. Definitely was one of my favorite classes to attend.

Dr. Kelley is a fantastic teacher! She really knows her material, gives students the chance to decide what they want to learn about the class. Dr. Kelley is fair and understanding in most situations. Great class and teacher, would definitely recommend taking it!
Seriously, my favorite teacher and class of all time. She really has a clear understanding of how to make a classroom function to the individual needs of each and every student. The only teacher I had that actually cared.
Dr. Kelley is by far my favorite professor so far in my college experience. She makes class fun, I looked forward to going. She lets you change your due date for almost any assignment, all the way up until the last class day. As long as you put some effort into it, the work is very easy. She also gets very hyper sometimes, which is entertaining =)
She's really passionate about her work, which is a great thing to see in a teacher, as some don't give a crap. Her class rubric, assignments, etc, are all very well-organized, and she's a very modern teacher regarding her teaching methods. She's also a sweetheart, and is incredibly intelligent. I'd recommend her to anyone.
THE BEST TEACHER. She is goofy and very creative. Her work is very understandable, she teaches so much in so little time. Its a very down to earth class. The class teaches you SO MUCH. Her grading is understandable and she uses blackboard faithfully.
This is the best professor I have had thus far! I'm going to school to be a teacher myself and she has giving me ideas on how to teach my class and to keep them interested and willing to come! She's the best!!! First class I have taken and can't wait till next class! Keep up the good work Dr. Kelley you're awesome!
Amazing teacher, easy to understand, helpful. Class creates syllabus together, you can chng due dates. Powr point lectures, online text info easily accessable. Lots of opportunities for grades and extra credit. NEVER boring, very upbeat. Great personality. I will definitely take a class from her again.
She was one of the best teacher's I'd ever had. Super fun, makes class interesting and interacts with students!
Dr Kelley was AWESOME!!! Best teacher ever. She made sure we learned everything we needed to while still making it fun. Any one who has her class will LOVE her!!!
One of the best professors I've had by far. She explains everything clearly. Very helpful. Great personality, and understanding. She also loves what she does and it's a good thing to have a professors who enjoys what they teach and wants to see you succeed.
Great Teacher! I learned a lot and had a great time.
This professor is the best professor I have ever had at tri-c. She is funny, helpful, caring, intelligent, and very organized. I took Life Span class and even out of class she was there to talk to for advice about personal problems. Her assignments are fun! She gives a couple pop tests but you get to fix them outside of class! Take her class!
Dr. Kelley is awesome, she is helpful, caring, intelligent, and very organized. I took Life Span on-line and have to give her props compared to other online classes she has her stuff together. She responds to emails promptly and challenges one's critical thinking skills. I can't say enough about her. Take her you will not be sorry.
Dr. Kelley is a great instructor. She is passionate about her field and wants you to really get it by making class enjoyable. She tells you upfront that she is a tough grader but she gives you many opportunities to redeem yourself (an A is achievable). I came away with a better understanding of our society. Her class... I highly recommend it.
Great class to take very interesting. She uses a lot of technology and doesn't require students to purchase the textbook.
The best teacher I have ever had! Very helpful and very smart. She has a unique teaching style that works! You may change your due date on the majority of her assignments, but can only change it once. Take her class!
Very, very easy class! It is impossible to get a bad grade!
She is the BEST teacher I have had for psychology. I STILL recite statistics or facts I learned from the class. She is passionate about what she teaches and is a lot of fun. I remembered a lot from this class, and she doesn't require you to buy the textbook. I wish I could have had more classes with her!
Excellent Teacher! She will really get you motivated to learn and apply yourself! Highly recommended! Even gave me a recommendation to a four year college!
Currently in one of her online courses, and so far she is a great teacher. Her notes are clear, she explains very well, and the audio lectures and videos are great. I truly enjoy her as my professor and i'd recommend her as well. Class is not hard if you pay attention and do your work.
Dr. Kelley will go further than any professor I've know to help you out. No textbook was required and she provided all the materials. If you do what she asks you will get and "A". Theres no hidden requirements and no effort made to fool you. She truly wanst the student to learn and is both knowledgeable and passionate about the material.
An amazing professor with a passion for what she does. She truly wants you to do well in her class and allows corrections on her tests to improve your grade...what professor does that??? I'd recommend her for ALL Psychology classes if she's available...great educator!
Dr. Kelley is awesome! She is very clear and is always willing to help if you don't understand something.
Professor Kelly is a very tough grader.You have to follow everything completely to her standards. She does allow you to revise certain papers,gives extra credit, answers emails fast and is very helpful.
She was a great teacher. She gave tons of extra credit. Really boosted my grade up. We had to write 3 essay they were all pretty easy. She was very specific about the essays though. She was always there when needed help. The quizzes were pretty easy. You had to really study and know your stuff to pass the class. Everything was clear!!!
I highly recommend this class. She is a totally fair and honest teacher and really just wants her students to do well. Everything you need is on blackboard (including the book). As long as you participate and keep up on the lectures and readings you will do fine. Don't take anyone else's class!! This teacher knows this information so well!
Excellent professor! Offers a lot of extra credit throughout the semester and an A is achievable if you complete all the required assignments. Quizzes can be a little tough and make you apply what you learned. Loved her class, learned a lot, and you definitely recommend her! Oh, and no textbook needed. She uploads all readings (online course).
She teaches okay but she gives to much work that doesn't contain of anything we do in class. I learn in the class but not through our homework so I believe that the homework and annotations that she gives us is pointless and she need to come up with a new teaching method. Overall she is a nice teacher.

She is my favorite teacher by far. Tough grader but pushes you to just be greater than you are. No textbook. Made talking about sex fun and open convos. Get ready for annotations. I got a B though i felt her class was hard but informative. She has helped me personally outside of class. Abig sweetheart. I recommend her!!
Dr Kelley knows her stuff! She's passionate about teaching and about her students learning. She's more than fair, gives extra credit, only 2 tests that you can correct for full credit, and quizzes are online. She responds to every email and her office door is always open. Attend class, participate, do your homework, and you'll learn and do well.
Very well organized blended learning class. Fun in class and audio lectures.
Not many tests
Dr. Kelley is a very talented professor and is very patient. She's available if you're struggling in her class, but you have to speak up so she can help. The advice she gives is helpful universally and she's a caring person so you'll feel comfortable opening up. If you show up, read, do work on time, and do the extra credit you should do great!
She is an awesome instructor. She doesn't use a textbook but instead has all the information printable from the website. She gives ample time to complete the online quizzes/tests and has some extra credit available. She is great at replying to emails. If you do the work and follow the grading guidelines you should get an easy A.
Wow. Dr. Kelley isnt like most online teachers I have had. You can tell she puts in a lot of work into her class. She provides the material (audio lectures, articles, videos), and has clear grading standards. I didn't want to rate her an "easy A" because you do need to go over the material and know it well, but quizzes are not crazy hard. Amazing.
Quizes are average, but watch out for her discussion boards, she grades them harshly. even if you reach the word count, she wants you to have specific examples, and elaborate on each point. she doesn't require a textbook, but instead gives lots of reading. average proffesor, average class.
I had her for my online Psy class and while I normally hate online classes, she recorded her lectures which made it easy to do the work. I loved her class and I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Amazing teacher, highly dedicated and respectful. Has to be one of the nicest, down to earth teachers I have ever had. Her grading is a bit tedious, she will read everything you write whether it's 2 or 20 pages. Always avaliable after class, during office hours, on Google hangouts etc. You learn a lot, and you have to dedicate some time but take it
I enjoyed Prof. Kelley. Her lectures were majorly video based which was nice and they were very informative with some textbook reading that was provided online. Her discussion boards were interesting and fun and she gives good feedback on your post, albeit if it is a little late. The class was pretty easy and I enjoyed it!
She put everthing you need on blackboard. So nice and easy to understand, the audio lectures sometimes are boring but pay attention because thats where all the extra credit is. The discussion boards are kinda fun and the test are open book, she tells you exactly how to study for the tests, and helps you with anything. I loved this class!
Professor Courtney Kelley, PhD is the best professor I have ever had in over 90 college credit hours. Her course is very clearly built by her with very relevant, factual, and thought provoking content. She builds the entire course so that it is impossible for you to fail. What wonderful human being. Cares deeply about her students and their success
The textbook isn't used which is really nice. She gives all the information though reading and lectures. Having the lecture transcripts are really nice for people who don't learn well through audio. It really feels like the most accurate information is being received. She generally cares about students and understands that things happen. 10/10
When sis talks everybody listens. She makes it easy to engage and she try to make the class as fun and manageable as possible !! Thumbs up
Even though the textbook is not required, I wish it would have been. Maybe then I would have gotten a better understanding of the material. She used her own material and some of it did not pertain to the course and it it a lot of reading. Always participate in discussions, never be late with assignments, elaborate a lot, and read, read, read!
Out of 60+ credit hours, by far my favorite professor. Awesome lectures, makes material fun to learn. GREAT communication. Very helpful, offers extra credit and posts all assignments day one, which allows you to work ahead. First time I am sad a class has ended. You need to work a little if you want an A, but class is easy to pass.
Shes an amazing professor , and overall person , which made learning even better . She made learning fun . You can tell she really cares about each of her students . Help was always accessible
The online course was a lot of work but every assignment was worth it. I learned so much! I saved most of her material to reference back as needed. Also, my favorite online class so far! Dr. Kelley developed blackboard clearly and creatively. She included videos, PP & audios with transcripts, articles, and engaging discussion boards.
Prof. Kelly is great, she cares about her students & makes herself available outside of class. She wants you to understand the material on a DEEPER level. Which is why her class is so much work. That being said do the annotations correctly and start them ASAP. Dont take this class if you are taking other time consuming classes in the same semester.
Professor is knowledgeable and topics are interesting If you take this class you need to spend ton of time on it. Quizzes questions are sometimes not clear and can be interpreted in different ways. A very hard and demanding class, you learn though
I really enjoyed this class. I liked how there were transcripts for the videos so I could use them for studying. I also liked that everything was laid out as far as clear expectations and all the lesson were available so if you wanted/needs to work at your own pace you could. I also appreciate how accessible Dr. Kelley was.
I like the whole course in general. Each lesson gave me more edu action and understanding of human psychology.; it helps in my everyday life to communicate with family. When I misunderstood something and asked Dr. Kelley to clarify them, she replied very quickly and answers were concise.
Dr. Kelley is a overall good person but as a Professor she stern and the quizzes can be confusing and hard to pass. She grades her discussion boards thoroughly and harsh. Extra credit is hard to get as well. I cant recommend her for a 1010 class.
in my opinion she really isn't clear on what she wants from your discussion board post or essays until she has gave you your terrible or good grade. very good communication lots of reading and lectures fail a test and your grade will drop like a bad habit.
I really enjoyed this course and the aspect of applying what we knew. Sometimes the concepts were a little confusing if you did you read it close enough. It was a nice refreshing challange of not being handed the answers but having to figure them out yourself.
Even through reading the transcripts, I could tell that Dr. Kelley has a deep love and understanding for psychology. She made challenging and uncomfortable topics seem completely normal and understandable. The small details that she includes brought the online class to life.
The pace and organization of this course is appreciated. The professor has taken into consideration that most people taking this course need it as a prerequisite for a health care related degree. Many of us do not have experience in advanced psychology and the class was organized in a way that made it interesting and easy to understand.
Hard grader and the test are really confusing and even with the supposed answer you can still get it wrong.
By far the sweetest, nicest professor I have ever encountered. I really appreciate your time and effort. I wish all my professors were like her!
She is an outstanding and understanding professor, especially during difficult times.
The instructor was great. The only thing I can say is that she hides extra credit in the lectures so pay attention. If you don't do the study guides you will fail the class. One thing I didn't like was the questions on the study guide weren't worded the same as they were on the quiz. I found myself hunting for the answers a lot.
I enjoyed taking this class. The information I learned is invaluable, and the way Dr. Kelley supplied several realistic examples made the content a lot more interesting. Initially, I thought that it'd be extremely boring to learn about adult stuff; I thought it'd be high school health class all over again. But, she proved me wrong!
Her concern for all of us truly makes me feel like she actually cares about the human beings we are. The way she teaches this class, audio lectures coupled with her personality toward me, made all the difference in completing this course.
she's a very nice lady who is always willing to help. i took the class online, so the fact that she responds quickly to emails was essential. the class wasn't difficult per se, but there's a ton of material to absorb. luckily she allowed the exams to be open note since it was an online class.
It can be hard to find a teacher to cling to especially since youre only with them for 4 months. Not with her. After 1.5 years at Tri-C she has made an astounding impact on me. You can watch her teach and know she cares about every single student. Ive never had a professor be as detail oriented and include every type of learning there is.
Dr Kelley was a great instructor. She provides rubrics for assignments and gives great feedback. This was an honors class and we had 10 annotations to do which were kind of hard. Shes very responsive to emails and gives extra credit. She provides all of the notes needed on class instead of a textbook which is great!
I've been taking college coursework since 2004, both online and in person at numerous Ohio universities, and have yet to get detailed feedback like I did on my assignments. Very refreshing.
Her tests are what killed my A grade. They are hard because there isn't always one right answer, you have to use her teachings to figure out the best answer. I got 's on every assignment but D's and C's on every test. Other than that, I really liked her. She's extremely organized and she always responds to emails and questions. Very personable!
Dr. Kelley is an amazing professor and I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I appreciate that she took the time in every lecture to make things clear and interesting. By far one of my favorite courses I've taken. Also, she is so understanding and compassionate.
I am thoroughly impressed with how Dr. Kelley laid out course materials in Blackboard. Everything is easily accessible, organized to limit confusion for students. I WISH that every professor would lay out their classes this way.
Dr. Kelley is a good professor she just give to much unnecessary scattered information which makes it difficult to do work because you have to literally search through everything.
Dr. Kelley's process is a master class in how to conduct an online learning environment. She's organized, her lectures are excellent, and she provides outstanding feedback that really encourages you to go the extra mile. Honestly, what more can you ask for from a professor? I'd take her class again in a heartbeat if I could.
Professor Kelley was nice but the class was really hard
The instructor was always responds in a timely manner, and very prompt with grading. I liked that there was an option to watch the video lectures and/or read the transcript. The built in steps she gives for creating better study habits is a clever idea and I am impressed the instructor is willing to do the extra work to help her students succeed.
This was probably the most organized online class I have taken. It was very easy to navigate, and it was always clear what needed done and when due dates were. Professor Kelley is very easy to reach out too with any questions or confusion. She also gave plenty of time on the tests, so you did not feel to stressed with running out of time.
Even though this class was online, I could still tell that Dr. Kelley cares about all the students. She made this class such an enjoyable safe space. I was never afraid to reach out for any questions or complications. She always seemed to have our best interest in mind. Definitely one of my favorite professors I've had so far!
Great teacher, always gave awesome feedback and never hesitated to help a student. Also very understanding and kind.
I took online class with her. She seems really nice, easy to reach out to and provides feedback on every assignment. But she is extremely HARD grader. No matter how much effort you put in the assignments you will never get full credit. It seems like she does not like giving full points on assignments.
Dr. Kelley is always willing to help and responded in a quick manner.
I could tell that tags wanted all of the students to succeed by the positive response she gave when all of us in the class passed a test.
I really appreciated her openness, and how she immediately started the class by letting us know she was available to help. It was refreshing to take a course that was taught by a professor who obviously cares about the subject and about her students.
I learned a lot in this class that I will be able to use outside of class. She is a great professor!
Dr. Kelley is an awesome professor. I took the course online. I did not have to use any books. As a matter of fact, one isn't even recommended for the course. She allows for extra credit and using notes are allowed on tests. Very responsive to emails (usually within the day during the week). Just got to put in the time to do the work.
It quickly becomes apparent how much work Dr. Kelley put into the creation and execution of this class. Customized content, self-narrated videos, and creative, thought-provoking discussion board questions are just a few ways Dr. Kelley shows that she cares about this class and the experience of those taking it.
Amazing proof very chill responds to emails easy going no way anyone can fail every chance of effort will be paid off.
She is a very nice woman, but the grading is a little challenging. Lotta notes lotta work. I miss two test so there was no way of me passing the class. She asked me about it, but didn't offer me to make it up or take points off. Good luck.
Absolutely great!!
Dr. Kelley is one of the few professors I enjoy learning from. Her syllabus is clear, and Brightspace is well-organized. Expect to watch lectures, read every week, and take notes. I learned to take good notes from her. The course load is moderate, but it's interesting, and you'll need to stay on top of everything for good quiz/test scores.
