She warns you that the class is easy right away, but then gets hard. It doesn't just get hard, it becomes impossible. Lots of international students (Asians) drive up the curve. Final was pretty impossible. Some lucky guessing (not studying) was why I got an A on it.

Everyone is really over-reacting. Her tests are very math based, so if you're not good at math, take with someone else. If you are good at math, you'll destroy this class. It was super easy for me, and she tells you everything you need to know, and has a PLETHORA of practice tests to take that are identical to her exams. My favorite professor at UW

You do simply problems in class, and then stuff you've never seen before on the exams. It's super frustrating. She doesn't explain how she gets numbers and she rushes through those problems and at the end of lecture. However, she's a respectful lady - get to know her. This class will challenge you, so start off strong. I learned a lot.

she will make fun of you in lecture if you give her reason to so if you raise your hand make sure its worth it! Other than that she is a great professor her lectures are extremely helpful so try not to miss any of them all exams are multiple choice during the regular school year. She uses a lot of real world examples in her lectures which is nice

She is so kind and so patient. I'm so glad that I met her. I want to take her econ 102.

She likes to tell stories related to what she's teaching. I found them to be a nice break from the monotone of other lecturers. Practice tests from other years help a lot for all the exams. Book reading was assigned but only so-so helpful. She's a good teacher to have as a freshman since she talks about some of what to expect at UW-Madison.

If you want to learn economics, take this class with her, if you like your GPA nice and high or want to get into business school take someone else. I think the bottom 60% of class get BCs or worse. Anyways I liked her, but ended up with a B. I got an A on the first midterm, but the second one railroaded me. Beware

The exams are a little difficult. But Professor Kelly teaches very well~~~~

Really math based! Told a tone of stories that were not necessary. Makes you hate econ! Spends way to much time going over simple concepts. No need to read the book or go to discussion. Could probably get by by just going to BLC

a lot of math in both econ 101 and 102,she put all the previous tests online besides finals. never opened the books once. you should be good as long as you pay attention in lecture.

Likes to tell stories in class, which I found amusing. The stories do relate to what she's teaching and provide a good break from some note taking. Exams aren't bad if you do practice exams beforehand. Discussion depends a lot on your TA, it can either be really good or bad.

Professor Kelly was straight forward. She expects a lot but if you read the book, have a general understanding her lectures are great. She breaks down the topics very easily and has a great flow to her course. She doesn't put any fluff in the course and tells you right off the bat what she expects. If you have her for 102 her liberalism comes out.

If you don't like basic math- DON'T TAKE ECONOMICS. If you can handle elementary algebra and how to apply it, you will be fine. She gets annoyingly off topic with her analogies. Probably because the subject doesn't have a whole lot to it. She's a lot friendlier than she seems at first. I didn't get the textbook and did fine.

Professor Kelly was very good at getting concepts across, and also very helpful during office hours. The class isn't too hard if you are strong with algebra, and did ok in microeconomics. Overall good teacher!

I am a senior and she is my favorite professor of all time. She inspired me to be great and strive to be the greatest I can be. She is a charming and inspirational professor who will literally work your butt off. She is really hard but her class is fun and rewarding and I really enjoyed her.

Prof. Kelly likes to tell stories that are related to the econ concepts, which made it easier to remember concepts. The stories also made the power lectures pass faster =)

Amazing teacher but really hard class so go to lecture and do the homework. BUt i would recommend her to anyone i meet.

People have varying opinions about Kelly. I think she is great. Her lectures are easy to swallow considering the subject. She gets to know her students and is very prompt about replying to emails. Her tests are fair and consistent, and she posts many practice exams and resources to help you prepare. People who dislike her just dislike the subject.

I think Kelly is a wonderful professor. She makes economics seem interesting and applicable. Econ 101 is a hard class and the homework and tests are difficult, but with that being said, she has a nice curve for the class. There are many different opinions of Kelly, but I strongly recommend her.

Professor Kelly is very knowledgeable about economics, but she kept on incorporating Econ 101 into Econ 100. I think it's nice that she is trying to teach us some other stuff, but I find it completely unnecessary. She also goes off on tangent subjects often. Her practice exams do not ready you for her midterms (she even said so during a lecture).

She is good at explaining general concepts, albeit with a very liberal perspective. The tests are hard, but she keeps a test bank online so as long as you use that the class is easy enough.

Southern draw takes a bit of getting used to being a Wisco native. She is quite liberal on most issues and in the middle on some. Unique perspective. Her lectures occasionally turned into a political debate. Her tests reflect her beliefs. Even though I did not agree with her it helped a lot coming into tests with that idea.

Prof Kelly moves quickly in lecture but if you sit in front it is easy to grasp. She gets a personal connection with students that get a lot of face time, so don't be afraid to participate. The readings are used in lecture, but if you go to all lectures and do the readings, the exams aren't awful. Challenging, but multiple choice.

I think Kelly is really a good professor. She always brings interesting topics in class and makes every point very clear. The test is hard and tricky, but if you can understand every point in the past exam papers. Test will not be a serious problem. Anyway, really encourage those who want to know well about Micro Econ to take Kelly's lecture.

Coming into Professor Kelly's class, I had no prior economic knowledge. However, her lectures were interesting, and she explained things very well. I learned a ton in the course, and have done extremely well. Make sure to do practice problems and study hard for exams!

She is a good lecturer with interesting southern twang. You don't need the textbook unless you miss class; though going to class would be more helpful.

Don't understand the bad things I heard about her. Great teacher. Lectures were always interesting.

She is a good teacher. She tells lots of interesting stories in class although sometimes useless. This semester the first midterm is extremely difficult but I got good grade so not worry about getting A any more. The exams are not esay, but the curve is helpful. the average is about 60-65 and A is like over 75, which is so cool to me.

This is a difficult class as the professor stresses the importance of thinking outside the box and learning how to analyze. She's very helpful when you take the time to see her. I would visit her office hours at least once a week and she made the material relatable! Although the tests are difficult, she has a lot of practice tests available online!

Do not buy the text book. Everything helpful for exams (which are the only grades for the class), will be found on her website or talked about in class. She is a very good lecturer, but you need to study on your own a lot and be very prepared for exams.

Professor Kelly knows the topic extremely well, and is willing to help if you are willing to get to know her. My TA was not helpful and I often left discussion more confused than when I went. Overall, however, Professor Kelly makes the power lecture as interesting as it can be, adding in real-life connections every once and a while.

As a freshman, I took her during my first semester in college, and wow. The homework is tedious, and exams are tough. I feel like I learned more about her, rather than the course itself. She is a very good lecturer, however. I received my lowest grade that semester with her.

Lectures were engaging and quite funny with her random stories. Tests were a bit difficult and hard. Homework was a fun way to actually use what was taught in class, as it gave you different perspectives to solve the questions. Practice past papers and tests and you'd be just fine. I've thoroughly enjoyed her class and will be taking her for 102.

I don't understand why everyone thinks this class is such a nightmare. I am not that naturally smart and I managed to get an A because rather than complaining about how hard the tests are like my peers, I studied so hard and learned the material so well that I did just fine on the tests. The tests are tricky, but know your stuff and you'll be okay.

Professor Kelly made lectures some what fun, but everything she taught was straight forward and easy. When the tests come round though, they are near impossible and the average grade was around a 59%.

Professor Kelly deserves much better ratings than she receives. If you complain, it is obvious that you have never tried to receive help from her. She is the most approachable professor I have and is always willing to help. Her tests are difficult, but always fair and her lectures are insightful. Professor Kelly is a good instructor for Econ.

Excellent Professor, challenges students but prepares them for future courses. Has some tricky math questions on test, but they are just simple algebra. Very approachable and loves teaching.

90% of classtime is spent on her personal stories. The actual material is sped through too quickly. Very difficult exams

Prof Kelly's classes are not easy. Having said that, she runs class incredibly well. She is straight forward, expectations are clear, and nothing on the exams are a surprise. She is also the most approachable and helpful professor I've met. Put in the work and you will succeed in her courses.

She is very nice professor and makes sure she goes through all the material thoroughly. Her lectures get kind of long and boring as she repeats many examples and goes off on pointless topics. Her exams are difficult but have a very generous curve. Discussions are very helpful. Overall not a bad teacher.

Absolutely no idea why people complain about her. Shes incredibly clear and makes econ very interesting. Her tests are hard but she has BY FAR the most generous curve i've ever experienced in any class. You need like a 78-80 on her tests for an A. I had a different teacher for 101 and wish I wouldve had her b/c her lectures are very interesting.

Professor Kelly has a great mind and explains difficult course material in great detail. Her memorable examples made it easy to learn even the most advanced material.

She is a great professor that cares about each of her students, IF THEY APPROACH HER. Show her early how much you care about your grade, and she will help! Difficult class, but she does a great job explaining it and giving good examples. Also prepares you to take Econ 102!!

She really loves the material but her tests expect an expertise of economics that should not be expected from a 101 class. This class made me almost not take 102 but 102 is so much better just not with her.

Kelly is demanding, but is clear in what she expects. Tests are difficult, but fair. Class is not mandatory, but it I highly recommend you go. Everything she expects you to know she goes over thoroughly in lecture and writes down everything you need to write down. She's a great teacher if you actually want to learn micro well.

I think Professor Kelly gets a bad rap since she's a difficult professor. She was always helpful during office hours and her class flew by since she included anecdotes that helped me learn the material. She also has old exams posted and a study guide optional for purchase that really help students. I wish I had her from Econ 102 this semester.

Kelly has been one of my favorite professors. Her lectures are very entertaining and interesting, and she is very helpful in office hours. She gives hard tests, but she gives a fair curve. If you pay attention in lecture, skim the reading, and do some of her practice tests, you can get an A.

She's a good teacher but in exchange for harder tests. Class is on a bell curve. The textbook isn't really necessary, the tests are more based on problems that she explains during lecture. The text only helps with concepts. Nice sense of humor, explains things well.

Kelly's got some sort of Southern swag that makes lectures oddly entertaining. On the other hand, she zips through material quickly and only gives two midterms and a few homework assignments. She says it over and over, the only way to do well is to do practice problems, not just go to lecture and do homework.

Professor Kelly was a bomb. Her lectures were so interesting, she gives hilarious examples and made great connections with students in class. Some other professors are more about the theory of economics, but Kelly explains most theory by math and clearly clarify how math relates to economical theory. Attend the lectures and you'll be fine.

Great Teacher, she occasionally goes off on a tangent. She is very helpful if you go to her office hours. If you put your time into this class you will do good. Highly recommend going to the BLC for extra help.

Her lectures sometime get boring when she tells stories but she provides really good examples! Her past exams are very helpful. I loved having her and would definitely recommend her.

She is very helpful, especially if you go to her office hours. She is also very passionate, and have fun and relevant stories during the lecture. Homework is not a lot compared to other professors.

Kelly is an incredible teacher! The passion and excitement she has for economics is obvious and makes the lectures fun. She expects hard work however. Tests are challenging and go above and beyond basic concepts. If you work hard, you will learn a LOT. Best 101 prof if you're considering an Econ major! (Not for everyone though... be ready to work)

Great professor. Don't be throw off by what others say. If you pay attention, and GO TO LECTURE, it won't be a hard class. As long as you don't skip lecture, you DONT HAVE TO READ THE BOOK. Not one bit. I didn't really even open it and I got an A. Lecture is extremely helpful. She's funny, knowledgable, and uses great stories in lecture.

Professor Kelly is such a nice person, her office hours are very helpful, the exams are not that hard if you spend time on it. She is also very friendly and are very familiar with this class. Her examples in class are vivid and accurate.

Kelly's lectures can be long as she goes off topic with stories that don't seem to always relate, but she does a great job with her note taking style. She writes the notes with you on a projected screen, so you can easily keep up and focus on the concepts. Reading the text prior to lectures really helps, but isn't necessary.

Not as bad as everyone claims. Show up, pay attention and you'll have no problem. It is econ 101 after all.

You'll see a lot of people hating on this woman, but she's truly an amazing professor. Her class is challenging and definitely used a lot more math than I expected. However, she always makes herself available for her students and is super helpful. I learned a lot and I'd definitely recommend the class.

Really wants her students to succeed and do well in her class. She has tons of office hours every week and is very helpful. Her lectures can be long and often times she goes off on weird tangents and tells stories but it gives a nice break to the learning. Her tests are very fair of material covered in lecture. Buy the study guide she wrote.

It's pretty simple. Go to lecture, take notes and be active and you'll be fine. You have to (repeat: have to) do the old exams and do the problems. Those will immensely help your midterm grades. Kelly infuses her lectures with humor and turns a rather banal subject into something interesting. If you work somewhat hard, you'll be fine

Professor Kelly tries to be helpful, but she treats students like they are two years old. She spends half of the class trying to tell the class how things work in the "real world" instead of teaching the material. Exams are straight math and very little theory. Lecture is a drag as she just talks down to the class the whole time.

Everything I read about Kelly prior to taking the class made me nervous about having her as a professor. No, she doesn't make the class super exciting, but she's a good lecturer, especially for an intro level class. After the first two weeks, I never read the book, I just went to lecture. Either read the book or go to lecture and you'll be fine.

Really good teacher. She knows her material well and is passionate about Economics. Her exams are crazy hard though and require lots of studying. She doesn't post notes online so attendance is mandatory!

At first Kelly seems intimidating and serious but she is actually very laid back and pretty hilarious. She is extremely kind and helpful in person (office hours). Tests are hard but fair and usually scaled. Her lectures are really informative and pretty essential for understanding the content.

Professor Kelly was the reason I decided to pursue a degree in Economics. She genuinely loves the subject as well as teaching, and it shows. If you read the book or go to lecture you'll be fine, the math is basic algebra at most.

Kelly is a great professor, she has hard tests and expects a lot from her students, but she puts up all of her exams since the 1990s on her websites. Lectures are intense, but interesting and she is always willing to help you in her office hours.

She is probably my favorite professor at UW. Yes the exams can be tough but she is very clear on what you should prepare for so as long as you take her advice you'll be fine. Lectures are often very helpful and she tells personal stories and gives plenty of examples to make the material easier to understand and keep things interesting.

One of the nicest professors at UW for sure. People complain about the rigor of her classes but she makes herself available more than any other professor- lots of office hours and frequently holds extra sessions. Tough class, but she provides help for anyone who seeks it out. Lectures get long, but if you pay decent attention you can do well.

Kelly really knows her stuff and is very good at explaining things in a way that many students understand. She sometimes gets a little off topic but her classes are entertaining and instructive.

Great lecturer! She tells a lot of funny stories in class which make lectures go quickly. Her tests are tough, but they are curved and she puts old exams online so studying is easy. The five homework assignments are long and not very helpful. One of my favorite teachers though!

Very hard tests but if you pay attention in lecture and do the homework carefully you will do well with the scale. I had her for 101 as well and never used the textbook, so I saved my money this semester. Super helpful and welcoming in office hours. A lot of basic algebra and actually having to think, but managable.

Prof. Kelly, while an interesting person and quality lecturer, is a nightmare to have as a professor. Her tests are make or break upon whether you can understand problems that even she annotates as hard on her test answer keys and do the math in your head at breakneck pace, considering you'll have 29 problems to do in 50 minutes.

Hardest class I have ever taken. She expects that you thoroughly know all of the material. Tests are very difficult and are under a time crunch. I would definitely not recommend this class if you care about your grade. I've never worked harder for a class and I still didn't end up with a very desirable grade.

Her lectures were clear for the most part. She spent the first three days of the semester talking about the syllabus, it was extra. Homeworks are difficult and worded weirdly. Not the best professor but she seems like she cares a lot about her students and economics.

If you work hard, you will do well. Nothing is handed to you: attend BLC and go to office hours and you will do well.

Yes, Elizabeth Kelly is a tough professor, however you will walk out of the classroom knowing so much more about economics than you ever imagined. Her exams are difficult and extremely time pressured, so you must know the material inside and out. Strong algebra skills are a must since no calculators are allowed. Highly recommend going to class.

Taking this class was a pretty bad experience. I would recommend trying to find another professor if at all possible. That being said, though her lectures are boring and her tests are harder than most 101 professors she tends to have a generous curve. If you go to lecture and do some practice you will succeed.

This was one of the hardest classes I've taken. Prof Kelly gave good lectures, but after the first test, it's essential to keep up with the concepts through the book AND the lectures because tests become brutal. There were only 5 homeworks, but because they're so infrequent, there is hardly any overlap of concepts between them. Pretty challenging

A lot of people say that Prof. Kelly is really tough, but the only thing I would say is that if you show up to lecture like a normal person and do some practice problems outside of class you'll be fine. It's a heavily curved class, and the top 60% get a B or above (breakdown was 20% A, 20% AB, 20% B, 20% BC and so on). I enjoyed her lectures.

Prof. Kelly loves to bring anecdotes from her life into lecture. I study History and took the class to graduate. It was tough but she is very accessible and genuinely cares about her students and their education. I will probably get a C, but I love the class! If you have an a math background you'll be fine!

Im an econ major so naturally I found this class to be a little on the easy side compared to most I took it a a couple years ago and she is my favorite professor at UW honestly giving teachers a bad rating because they're difficult graders is very highschool she is an excellent lecturer econ is a tough subject Prof. Kelly doesnt mislead freshman

Professor Kelly is great if you take advantage of your resources. Do the practice problems she sends out and go to her office hours. You'll find that she genuinely cares about those that want to do well. Yes, her exams are hard, but that's college.

Tough class but had a very generous curve.

Cool class, cool professor. Just don't take it in the summer. My summer class had 20 students, at least 10 of which were international. 20% of the class receives an A, so good luck trying to be top 4 among those notorious Foreign Curve Destroyers. I walked away with an AB.

Honestly I don't think this class is hard at all. If you chose this class, make sure to pick Sam Schreiber for your discussion. She is the best Econ TA and she will help you pass this class. I didn't use textbooks at all for the whole semester but I attended all Kelly's lectures and all my discussion sections and I am doing fine in this class.

I don't think Econ 101 is a tough class if you have a strong foundation of algebra. Don't skip lecture and always do the homework and you will get a good grade.

Professor Kelly has been one of my favorite professor's since I came on campus. She is smart and always seems to be looking out for her students. She tries to keep things interesting for everyone so it might get boring at points, but it's when she plays to others' strengths. The homework had some things that we didn't go over in lecture sometimes.

Kelly is a great lecturer but she is tough. All the material covered in lecture shows up on the exams, so don't bother with the textbook unless you are really confused. 5 homeworks graded on effort, two (hard) midterms and a (hard) final. Very little work required out of class. Some of her questions have typos/are wrong, but she is still good.

Professor Kelly was a good teacher who can get off topic, but for good reasons such as teaching life lessons. Uses a lot of real world examples which is very helpful. Very fun personality and really wants her students to succeed.

Pr Kelly was a pretty good teacher. She explains topics pretty well, but she has these little things that can get annoying (e.g. teaching up until the last second and making a point of it). Regardless solid teacher who knows her stuff. Also, she talked about politics a lot, which some people hated, but I found insightful.

Kelly gives good lectures, but can often go on long tangents. The tests are very hard, but she provides many practice problems to help learn the concepts.

Prof. Kelly is a very respected and caring professor. The class is really hard, but if you do your homework, go to lecture, and really put in work you will do fine. She puts a lot of examples in her lectures, which some like and some don't. I never went to discussion, and still passed fairly easily.

Cares about her students

Professor Kelly was one of the clearest instructors I've had at UW. She gives students plenty of practice problems, hosts many office hours in the week, and even offers up old exams to practice on. I would love to take Kelly's call again if I ever could. Is math heavy, but it's a math based subject, so it's quite helpful.

Prof Kelly is a caring Southern lady who has a special charm to her. I dont understand when people complain so much about her, its not her fault you couldn't study enough its a 4 credit course for crying out loud. She cares a lot about her students and hosts many office hours, and she is very sweet when you meet her. I would definitely recommend

Prof Kelly's 102 course is a solid choice. Do your work and as long as you study the unlimited supply of practice exams you'll be completely fine. You can skip a lecture here or there, but get the notes. And maybe stop by for her office hours, she's a really chill prof.

Kelly is a really caring professor who challenges you as a student. Her classes are math intensive and exams are demanding, but you end up understanding everything on a deeper level.

All of the Econ 102 grade distributions for each professor are fairly uniform. However, Professor Kelly makes class interesting and makes the information easy to listen to which can be pretty tough for 75 minute economics lectures. I highly recommend taking her class.

she cool

Kelly is a very good teacher and her lectures are helpful and clear. She offers a lot of office hours at various hours of the day. However, her tests often have tough questions which make them hard to study for as they are oriented towards her thinking style and have trick questions sometimes. The tests are also the only thing graded, difficult!

Loved Prof Kelly and her straight forward approach. Her examples were easy to remember which made learning content much easier. No need to read the textbook as long as you attend lecture because none of the notes are online. Make sure to do the homework in advance and go to OH for extra help if needed. Do NOT fall behind and practice everyday!!

Kelly is a great professor and ensures her theory is backed by easy to understand lectures. Defiantly attend lecture because she does not post any notes or slides online. Also complete the problem sets with plenty of time to ensure comprehension.

Kelly is a great professor who really cares about her students! I took both Econ 101 and 102 with her. They were both very challenging classes, but she really wants you to succeed. She makes it very clear when she will be in her office for office hours and she takes feedback during class so if you need to have something explained again, she will.

Kelly is an overall nice person and clearly knows her stuff, but her exams are very tough. The class is very math/graph heavy, so if you are good at thinking through tough mathematical situations this class is for you. 90% of grade comes from 2 midterms and final exam. 10% from homework. It is my toughest class this semester, but I do not dread it.

Good lecturer. She goes at a pretty quick pace but it is doable. Spent a little too much time in the beginning of the fall semester going over unnecessary stuff like how college is hard. Occasionally goes off on political tangents but in general is a great lecturer. Would recommend for Econ.

Professor Kelly is not as bad as everyone on here says she is. Unlike most professors, she actually creates the lectures as you go which helps alot. Also, if you go to her office hours she is very helpful and actually pretty nice. Yes, she does go off on personal tangents, but everything on the test is based off lecture so it doesn't really matter.

Professor Kelly is a very a good lecturer! Her classes are full of interesting real life examples that explain the ideas clearly. The only thing is that you have to copy every note down, because she will not post notes online and the exams are based heavily on notes. So you have to focus and sometimes it gets exhausted when copying the notes!

Kelly gets a bad rep but if you actually apply yourself there's no reason you can't do well in this class, although the exams are hard there is a very generous curve. If you do the online problems, go to class, read the book, and work hard to learn the material you can get a good grade. Exams are very math heavy!!

Professor Kelly isn't for everyone--she's an excellent professor for those willing to put forth effort and work for it. Her econ class is more math based, so for those who are weaker in math, perhaps try to have a different professor. She grades on a curve: the top 20% receive and A and down the line. She is a tad difficult, but fair.

Professor Kelly's class is hard. At least that's what most of my friends said. However, they didn't attend lectures so that's probably why it was hard. Also, go to office hours she's a really good professor who cares about her students. The stories she tells explain econ in a different way and if you think they're boring you're missing the point.

Professor Kelly is really great and caring about students if you meet her personally outside the classes. She lets students view economics in another way. If you are good at math, this class is easy to go. The concepts here are not so hard. Its more about math.

Professor Kelly is a great person. She is accessible to every student after class, but there seems to be not many students actually went to her office hour. Her classes do have strong emphasis on math. However, if you have been trained by the relatively math heavy courses, such as math 222 and physics 201, you will be totally fine in her classes.

Personally, I enjoyed Professor Kelly and would take another class with her. I think her teaching style is understandable and concrete. I do think it is important to have the right TA, but all of them are accessible yours doesn't work for you. I think you need to have an acquired taste to like Kelly, and I guess I was one of them that liked her.

Extremely memorization heavy especially when it comes to equations. Lectures are usually somewhat enjoyable. She always has stories that help make things more fun. Tests are pretty difficult.

Professor Kelly is a great teacher of economics and she has her ways of making content interesting. That being said the class is paced very fast and you must be willing to put in the time to get that A.

While I don't necessarily agree with her teaching style, Professor Kelly is a person who truly cares about her students. When I was sick and was falling behind in her class, she helped me come up with alternatives so that I wouldn't tank my grade in her class. She will go out of her way to help you if she thinks you are a hard worker and care.

Great economics professor. I took intro to micro and macro with her. If you want to major in economics or business I would suggest taking her class.

Professor Kelly is a good professor but I think a lot of people don't understand her lectures are only beneficial if you read the chapter (most people don't read). I read all the chapters, went to her office hours, went to lectures and did practice problems occasionally. This class with Kelly makes you a better thinker.

This class is more work than most, but if you put in the time it will pay off. The readings can get long but are definitely worth it. Kelly and all of her TAs have lots of office hours to get extra help when you need it too. Your final grade is 10% homework, 25% each midterm, & 40% final so make sure you are confident going into the exams.

Nice prof!!!!!!!

This class was a breeze. Literally did nothing, went to lecture one time, showed up for the three tests, and did better on this course than any other course Ive ever had before.

Prof Kelly is an amazing person. You might not understand a thing in lecture attend every class to take notes! DON'T MISS DISCUSSION, it helps you understand stuff better. Go meet her because she is the nicest person ever and gives you great life advice. This class is hard work but put in some effort and you will do well. Hard examgenerous curve!!

Kelly is a great professor & really knows her stuff. You learn a lot if you pay attention & if you put in the time and practice, you'll do well. Her class is curved so the top 20% of the class gets an A, next 20% an AB, etc. Her exams are pretty fair you just have to work fast to get it done. You can get 90% of relevant info w/o reading textbook

I love professor Kelly. She has a lot of experience. Econ is not that hard as it looks, especially if you have even a little knowledge about math. It just needs some time and effort. I did not skip a single lecture or discussion and advice you to do the same. Extremely generous curve. Make sure to visit office hours because you are gonna love her!

There're many people that don't like Professor Kelly, but it REALLY depends on your learning style. She lectures every class, but gives really good real world examples. I found her to be one of the most caring professors if you get to know her. The more time you spend paying attention/reviewing, the better grade you will get. DO THE PRACTICE TESTS!

Although Professor Kelly's ECON111 class wasn't easy and lectures are basically mandatory, she explains concepts well and keeps lectures interesting. She also sends out extra practice problems after lectures and has her website for all previous exams. She is a kind hearted person and is always available to help students.

I absolutely loved Professor Kelly's class! She made herself super available outside of class which was so nice and she's really great at getting back to you on email! The tests are super hard- all multiple choice with both math and conceptual aspects needed for all questions. Nothing was mandatory but reading before lecture was super helpful!

she is an amazing teacher, reallly brout out the best in me

You will have to work hard but Kelly is a sweetheart that genuinely wants her students to succeed.

Professor Kelly is a very sweet lady who is very knowledgeable on the subject of economics. Grade is based around 5 bigger homework assignments, 10 lecture quizzes, 2 midterms, and 1 final. This class is not easy A, and you will be forced to work hard. But, you will learn a lot from this class, so if you are majoring in economics take this course.

Professor Kelly isn't the BEST at Madison but I did enjoy her class. The workload was really heavy at the beginning and middle of the semester but the end is pretty light. Lectures were all pre recorded but the discussions were live but optional since she records them. She always asks for feedback as she genuinely cares how we feel about the class

Kelly is truly amazing. Her lectures are always fun to attend because she explains them really well and provides real world examples and experiecnes. She takes the time to make sure her students understands the material. The exams are pretty tough but I enjoyed the lectures too much to drop it :)

AMAZING PROF! She is such a fantastic lecturer, and perfectly explains topics. I wish I could take more classes with her, she truly cares about her students. Super friendly and accessible for office hours! Her exams are fair, there are tons of great resources. I wish her all the best, and hope she enjoys retirement!

Honestly one of the best professors I've ever had. She relates a lot of the content to real life examples which genuinely help you conceptualize the material. Lots of homework and reading, but reading isn't essential if you go to lecture and the homework doesn't count for much, but if you do it you'll do better on exams. Highly recommend for 101.

Professor Kelly truly wants what is best for her students. Econ is a difficult class no matter what professor you have. She has an entire website of old tests, quizzes and homework problems that she grants you access to at the beginning of the semester. She also uploads recap videos about each topic covered in class! I hope she enjoys retirement :)

Professor Kelly loves what she does. One thing I've learned over this semester is that you HAVE to apply yourself to the class if you wanna see the results. For me, the weekly quizzes and homework were difficult and long. Also, I didn't attend 30% of the lectures. At the end of the day, she cares about her students. I would take this class again.
