Greg seems like he is a good guy. His class is interesting and he is full of knowledge. I enjoy going to class and I would recommend him as a professor to other students.
My favourite professor EVER! Seriously...this class was by far the best one I've had at GH so far. I looked forward to it every week!!
Dr. Kelley is the best professor I've ever had. He's so awesome and I will have him for a class next semester as well, and maybe even in 4th year. I'm SO looking forward to that. He's an amazing prof, funny and good at what he does.
Best prof ever! Only class where it doesn't feel needed to be on a lap top... seriously.
AWESOMEE
GREG IS MY FAVORITE!!!
Dr. Kelley is an incredible prof - very well informed & engaging. I always enjoyed every single one of his classes! I went into his class dreading the course, but came out proud of my mark and happy that I had such a helpful prof.
Best teacher I've had at GH.
Greg is a great professor. He tells lots of interesting stories. Very helpful and down to earth. Extremely funny. His tests are quite difficult.
Dr. Kelley is a very intelligent, interesting and personable man. He makes learning fun and has quite a sense of humor. His classes and the material he chooses to use are very amusing and engaging.
Greg Kelley is awesome, for public speaking (Presentations and Persuasion) and Contemporary Narrative (Folklore Studies)! He keeps classes interesting and has fun stories that keep us laughing. He is smart, witty, and encouraging. Greg Kelley is the bomb dot com :)
One of the best at GH. I never go to class, but this one I actually went to because it was interesting and fun
Dr. Kelley was extremely helpful and made sure to give his students more than enough of his time for any questions we had regarding our Senior Research Project. He took time out of his personal schedule -- something he was not required to do-- in order to make sure we all knew exactly what to expect from writing our Thesis Dissertation.
Great professor. Keeps class interesting with lots of energy. Very helpful.
best prof i have ever had!!! intelligent and helpful...i enjoy attending this class, he is fun and interesting. thank you for making Contemporary Narrative a great class for me this year! keep up the great work!! :)
Amazing teacher, best one so far at GH. Improved my public speaking skills so much, and made the class very enjoyable when I thought I would hate it! I hope I get to have him again in the future!
I love Kelley's class because he is very good at teaching his courses! He knows his stuff and grabs everyones attention very easily. Contemporary Narrative with Greg Kelley is one of my favourite classes and I always look forward to it.
By far one of my favourites teachers at GH. Made everything interesting, and never wanted to leave. THE prof to have for this class (or any class for that matter). Engages the class, is clear and helpful with assignments. In fact I never wanted the class to let out early. Didn't miss my laptop. Probably the best class so far.Knows how to teach!
GREAT prof for the senior thesis class. VERY helpful. When talking to other students about their thesis class, I was more than happy that I was in gregs class.
Greg Kelley is probably one of the most interesting, fun, and enthusiastic prof's Ive ever had. I never wanted to miss a class because he made it so worthwhile. Very well thought out course structure.
He keeps you intrigued and makes you actually want to attend class. Great teacher!
Easily the best prof. for media studies. Well organized, funny, interesting. I didn't have to force myself to go to his classes because they were always so interesting. If you get the chance, ABSOLUTELY try and get him as your professor.
Greg is an awesome prof, he keeps the class interested even without laptops! He is a fair marker, and easy to listen to.
Cant say enough great things about him. I get average marks in the class, as weird as it sounds I could be failing and it would likely still be my favorite class! Folklore Rules
Presentations & Persuasion -> Get him if you want a good grade, to learn exactly what the course offers and more. With Kelley, you learn to gain confidence by his honest and strong guidance and in this class you complete work and actually feel like you've accomplished and learned something instead of having just written another school assignment.
Greg Kelley is by far one of my favourite professors at this University. I had him first year and chose to have him again in 2nd year because I've learned so much from him! If you have the opportunity, take one of Greg's classes! You will NOT regret it! :)
Greg is the best. He knows his stuff, is very straight forward with his expectations and is hilarious. He keeps his class very interesting, and always shares the best anecdotes. If you pay attention and put in the effort, you will learn a lot from this man.
He is the best. I've had him 3 times this year alone! If you get the opportunity to - take his classes. His speech class is so welcoming and Im getting over my stage fright too. Take his class, you wont be disappointed :)
funny and very helpful with his teaching skills .
One of the best profs at the school hands-down. I've learnt a lot from him. His classes are really interesting, and he actually makes learning fun (as cheesy as that sounds).
Very fun to have as a teacher keeps you entertained even when learning about dull topics
Seven pages of near-perfect reviews on this site. What else do you need to say? Brilliant prof.
This is the second year I had Greg as a prof, and as advice from one generation of students to another, if you ever have a chance to have Greg as a prof, consider yourself blessed. He is truly amazing. If all profs were like Greg, then learning would be much more fruitful, and entertaining.

Greg is such a great prof! This is one of the few classes that I can actually really focus because he makes his lectures so interesting and tells the best stories! I wish all my profs could be as great as Greg!
Arguably the best prof I've had at Guelph-Humber. Greg took a subject that normally I wouldn't be interested in and had me coming to class each week at 8am to hear him speak.
Such a great prof. Super interesting!
Best prof. His class is so interesting. If you have his 8am classes, you will never fall asleep. Definitely pick Kelley for for Contemporary Narrative.
Very interesting professor and easy to follow. Just take notes and you'll be fine.
This is the only first class in 3 semesters that I did not miss a single day- and the class was at 8 am! He is the best teacher and I specifically arranged my schedule to include as many of his classes as possible.
If all the professors around the world could be like Greg, faith in humanity will be restored. Greg is so great that he makes your depression, anxiety, stress and whatever dilemma you happen to be in, VANISH once he starts talking. Greg for President!!!! I mean Prime Minister!!!! He should also be head of the Media Studies program!!!
Best teacher I have ever had! I arranged my schedule to get in as many of his classes as possible for 4 years. He makes you work hard and is there to help along the way.
Greg is one of my favourite professor at GH! Ive had him for two classes and have highly enjoyed both! He is extremely helpful and never puts any of his students down in any way. Definitely should be the Program Head, not just a professor!
great teacher, wish he taught ever class
Greg did a great job describing the guidelines for the assignment and helping with the research.
One of my favourite profs regardless of the course.
He is amazing! I have had him for 3 classes and I have enjoyed every single one of them. He has made my experience at GH wonderful and all of my favourite memories include him. Thanks for everything!
One of the best teachers I have had. Very helpful. Always thinking in the best interest of students.
Dr. Kelley is a gift to the University of Guelph-Humber. If you ever have the privilege of being taught by him, expect to leave that class refreshed and inspired every time.
Awesome teacher! Beyond helpful in every way and really cares about his students
Dr. Kelley taught the class very well, had every student excited to come to classes to present a speech. This was my favourite class, listening to the speeches was a lot of fun!
Great prof! Super nice, very helpful, and he made the most stressful course (speech class) a lot easier. I would definitely recommend him and I will be taking his courses again in the future.
During your Uni life, you will have many old profs who are overly strict and don't know how to interact with us, young students. But, Greg knows hows to interact with us and makes us feel comfortable around him. That's why we all like him. Greg, if you're reading this, congratulations on having the most positive reviews at GH! No wonder u the best!
It helps that he is so nice and genuine. He really wants people to learn, and he manages to take what would be boring content, into something that is a lot of fun.
If it wasn't for this teacher, I would still be in University and would not have had the opportunity to graduate with the class of 2013. He is absolutely the best. He is honest, and professional. He is hilarious and absolutely the best professor or teacher I have ever had. (if you're reading this, THANK YOU!)
Greg Kelley is easily one of the best profs at GH. He's clear, he's helpful and you can tell he actually has an interest in sharing knowledge with students. One of the best profs I've ever had.
Arguably one of the best profs at Guelph-Humber. Was a little obtuse about some concerns of students but was so to entice everyone to give their best efforts.
Greg Kelley is one of the best professors at UGH. He is clear, helpful and has a great ability to engage and encourage his students. Greg is also a great prof because he really connects with his students in a humorous, fun way. Still the only prof I've had that I rave about!
Hands down favourite prof at Guelph-Humber. Everyone neeeds to take him for Contemporary Narrative because he makes the class so enjoyable. Cannot wait to see what he has in store for Presentations and Persuassions next semester!!!
Greg is an amazing prof! Clear, interesting and really challenges you!
This has been my absolute favourite class of my university experience so far. It's interesting, fun and you learn tons, all thanks to the amazing prof! He's easy to listen to and makes learning the material seems super easy. He makes you WANT to be there and do the work! 10/10 would recommend.
Keep up the great teaching.
Makes the class really interesting. No phones/laptops allowed but you didn't need them. Great prof, wish I could have him again. One of the best media studies teachers at GH.
One of the best professors I have ever had.
Hands down, this is one of the best professors at the school. I would highly recommend this class. Dr. Kelley made the information fun to learn and he was very engaging.
Greg Kelly is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is so helpful and will go above and beyond to make sure that we succeed. I would definitely recommend anybody to take his courses. I have learned so much from him that will carry on with me in my future endeavours
Doctor Kelley has very well structured and engaging lessons that allow for interaction among its students and clearly outlines the main concepts of the course. The lack of computers is a unique element to his course, however it is truly beneficial. He is very fair in his marking, and the tests and midterms are also well thought out.
Greg Kelley is the bomb. This class is hard just because it's the Applied Research Project, but he makes it easy to understand and gives really helpful guidelines and advice to help finish the paper.
Love this professor! I'm taken and 8AM class and a class that ends at 9PM just so I can have him as my prof. So great.
Greg was an awesome teacher. His class was always really interesting and he made everything easy to understand.
Great professor! The absence of laptop in the classroom is helpful as it encourages student to pay attention.
Greg is an amazing prof! Makes class very easy and interesting. The no laptop rule makes everyone pay more attention and participate more.
Probably the best instructor I've ever had. The way he teaches makes course content engaging and interesting. You can tell he loves what he does!
Best professor I've ever had!
My favourite prof I've had!
Such a great teacher! Definitely is my favourite prof throughout my two years in university!
By far my favourite Prof. I had him for two classes and I love the way he teaches. He's funny and laid back and I even enjoyed doing his assignments.
hes groovy and funny.
A great prof, his lectures always incorporated some sort of hilarious story from his personal life and he always knows how to keep the class happy. The children`s folklore assignment we had to do for his subcultures class was a little weird though, and he gets pretty upset when you don`t do his readings for the week. Pfft, readings...
Greg is one of my favourite profs! HIs lectures are interesting and fun and he delivers the information in a way that you not only remember it but you learn it! That's not to say the class is a breeze, but the assignments are fun and class overall is excellent!!
By far the best proffesor I've ever had, he really knows his stuff. Such an interesting speaker and has so many stories and examples that he uses in his lectures that truly do help you remember the content. He's hilarious as well and makes you excited to attend his classes.
He's a great prof and he knows what he's talking about, really interesting class, just do your readings kids!
My all time favourite class. I'd take him again in a heartbeat!
Amazing class. I would definitely take it again. Very interesting information, can appy to life
A great professor who outlines what to do very clear. Even though he doesn't allow laptops or cellphones, it is worth it. Makes you understand the class better.
Greg is an awesome professor! His lectures are interesting and he's hilarious, love that prof and I'd definitely take this class again
Amazing person in general. The topic at first was a little unique to be learning about in media studies but he really is passionate on what he teaches and applies is directly to the media program. Love his enthusiasm and it helps that he puts his own humour in at times as well. An awesome storyteller and an overall great professor!
Hands down the best professor at the University. Dr. Kelley treats students with respect - he's also a pretty cool guy. I would highly recommend this teacher for all of the classes he teaches. If you want to learn, be entertained, and have a teacher that cares then sign up for one of his classes.
Greg is an amazing teacher, his stories with the class and lectures are always entertaining. At first I wasn't interested in learning about Folklore or Urban Legends but he made this entire course very informative and interactive. I would HIGHLY recommend taking his 2nd year Contemporary Narrative Course !
Absolutely loved the class. Definitely would recommend this professor to anyone.
Honestly my favourite prof at Guelph Humber. Great stories, very smart, love his classes
Great class, although there is no technology allowed it allows students to really focus on what is going on in class.
Greg is the best
Dr. Kelley was a good prof for this thesis class. I found him to be really helpful in writing and formatting our papers.
Dr. Kelley was an amzing prof! Always kept the lectures interesting!
This is one of the best teachers in the media studies degree program. He is a bit of a hard marker but his lectures are amazing and entertaining. You will learn a lot by taking one of Dr. Greg Kelley's classes and you will most likely enjoy his lectures as well. Do yourself a favour and sign up for one of his classes. You won't regret it.
Dr. Kelley's teaching style is fun and interactive.
Definitely one of the most amazing proff's I've had. I had Dr. Kelley for three classes this year and I wish I had him for all my classes. Would highly recommend taking his classes because you'll learn a lot and actually enjoy learning!
He seems to want us to learn and he's really good at teaching so I suppose these two things go together quite well.
Very interactive, and is able to connect with his students. Makes for a good learning environment. He likes to use humor, but not in the cringy sense, which is a great thing.
This was my third class with Dr. Kelley, and I am so glad that I had arranged my schedule to fit his, because he is an amazing instructor! One of the best I've had so far. He's very clear, helpful, understanding, and entertaining!! Unfortunately, I missed course evaluations, but I really wanted to give him the credit he deserves!
Hands down the best teacher in the school.
Greg Kelley is a fantastic professor who always makes his lectures interesting. He is extremely knowledgable about the content he is lecturing on and will always be happy to explain further if needed. He marks fair, but tough. Do you work, put in the effort and you will do very well!
Greg's contemporary narrative course is amazing. You can tell that he wants us to learn and puts his heart and soul into his lectures. His lectures are very enjoyable and time flies when you are in class because you are so engaged. I recommend him to anyone who is willing to show up everyday and learn. Great teacher.
If you ever have an opportunity to take his classes then be sure you do! His lectures are fantastic and very easy to understand. He does is very clear when it comes to assignments and what needs to be done. Overall a great prof
Literally, the most surprised I have ever been in terms of satisfaction from a class, he is absolutely hilarious. don't be appauled by the no electronics rule, its worth it. He tells stories to clarify key concepts and you will thoroughly enjoy the key concepts of the class. I would live to take this again if i can get another credit for it.
Greg Kelley is by far the best prof I have ever had!! When his class began, I I was upset I couldn't use my laptop, but as time went on I realized I did not need it! He is engaging with his students and you actually enjoy paying attention in his class! Thank you sir for an awesome semester, cannot wait to have you again next semester!!
Greg is my favourite prof at Guelphhumber. I've had 3 classes with him, Contemporary Narrative, Presentations & Persuasion and Subcultures and the media. He uses powerpoints & they're very helpful - he does not post them online so if you skip you might not pass. His lectures are entertaining and interesting. I strongly recommend taking his class
Greg is one of the best profs in GH. He makes all of the info interesting and really makes the students want to learn. He doesn't let you use laptops but I think it helps because of the fact that he is such a good speaker. 10/10 would take again, and I am taking his classes next semester
You need to read the articles given
I took several of Dr. Kelley's classes through out my four years at UofGH. From year 1 to year 4 I would never miss one of his classes. Kelley is thought-provoking and clear when it comes to lectures, and his assignments and tests reflect every bit of the content discussed together. He makes the media studies program.
Greg Kelley is always ready to help you and looks forward to reading your work. Great professor all around and I interesting to listen too.
Greg is honestly the best professor at GH. He is hilarious and kind and always willing to help. He can turn any old content into something students actually enjoy listening too. Take any and every class possible with Greg. You won't regret it.
Very engaging. Had him twice and is one of the few profs that stood out throughout my 5 years.
Greg Kelley was the best prof I have had in all of my university years. He provides clear feed back of your work and helps you to improve. He is very specific in what he is looking for so you will never be left empty handed. He is always there to offer some guidance if you need it.
AWESOME PROF! I loved his class! He is so very interesting, and his teaching skills are unmatched! He is so easy to listen to, but doesn't allow the use of technology (laptops, tablets, etc) but it doesn't matter because you will be too busy listening to him. Very funny and you will learn more than you expect.
Had many courses with Dr. Kelley and every one of them ended up being a great experience.
Loved Greg's support all these years!
No essays, but there are tests. Do the readings, they help a lot. Don't expect to get by from notes from your friends. Go to class, it's worth it.
Best teacher I've had all semester and even though this may be my first semester being a transfer student, I solely believe he will most definitely be my favourite teacher throughout my academic tenure with Guelph Humber. Great clarity of concepts of folklore and agenda setting in media and very helpful. Be ready to do a lot of fun readings.
This was my first class with Greg, and I made a point to take classes with him again. He made the class very interesting, and I feel like I learned a lot. He is quite passionate about the topics. Though he does not allow electronics in class, and does not post his slides (which contain few words, outline style) notes are easy to take & interesting
I think about the things he shared with us at different random moments, like when I am swimming or sitting on a train. Because his ideas are thought provoking and give you motivation to carry on into the real world. I have been in contact with him since then and he always gets me going again on new ideas and the confidence to try them
Greg Kelley is simply one of, if not THE best professor Guelph-Humber has. His genuine fascination and expertise in the content he teaches shines through with ease in each lecture. Try your best to have class with him at all costs.
No electronic notes, so you have to go to lecture. If you can sit through the dad jokes, you'll learn some weird stuff. Not convinced it's useful for my major.
probably the best professor i have ever had. greg kelley is a professor who make it fun for his students, and make them learn at the same time. I learned so much from both his courses and he made them enjoyable.
Greg is an amazing professor. He teaches in a clear and engaging way.
Greg Kelley was my favourite teacher at Guelph-Humber thus far. He was funny but also professional. He gave us a lot of feedback and was always clear about what he expected of us. What I learned from this class was highly beneficial and it will help me a lot with my other classes and future endeavors.
Great prof
I love his lectures. Not only does he clearly explain the type of speech we are to do that week but he give multiple examples of them and provides many useful tips to ensure we're on the right track with our own work.
He is an amazing prof. His lectures are interesting and engaging.
Loved Greg, one of my favourite profs in university so far. He was helpful and actually gave a damn about how you did! He is a rare gem.
You will have a great time in his class. Make sure you attend all the classes though! You will miss a lot if you skip. Greg does not allow technology in his class so be prepared for that
Provides great lectures that you actually want to listen to! Also includes some humour in them so the classes don't seem as long. he provides you with many reading that you should read as he references to them in class as well as exams and quizzes. Overall great prof!
I love public speaking, so this class was really easy for me to begin with, but Greg made it my favourite class this semester. His marking scheme is fairly easy, and gives great feedback after presentations. Even if you're not that comfortable speaking, having Greg as your prof will definitely make the difference.
Be prepared to read and write but all with the support needed
makes you write all notes and doesn't post the slides, but great prof who makes the class interesting. Only prof I was happy to see bright and early at 8am
doesn't really want his students talking in class, you can tell by how little he asks questions and rarely answer hands, which is super discouraging and not really what uni profs should be doing but other than that he's fantastic and inspiring and really passionate about fun things while still relating it to an academic level
Very cool prof
Amazing prof. He makes his class extremely interesting. He makes you write out all the notes instead of typing them out. He doesn't post his slides online however his slides only have a couple of words in them, he speaks most of his lectures. He is super passionate about the course.
One of the best profs I've ever had. Interesting, funny and has a deep passion for what he does. He also cares for his students which is a plus!
Greg Kelley is one of the best profs! The class I took dealt with his specialty (folklore) so he gets very into it and it's great!! He has awesome charisma, funny personality, very open, outgoing and you don't get bored. It's like story time everyday, you actually listen to him and understand his lectures. Good luck
He made the lectures very interesting and made me look forward to going to class.
One of the best media professors at GH! Very passionate, funny and easy to understand. Content was interesting. 10/10 recommend!
I've had Dr. Kelley for 4 different classes & can honestly say I've learned the most in those classes than I have in any other class. Dr. Kelley comes with a great wealth of knowledge, & he genuinely cares about all his students. I hope everyone gets the opportunity to learn from him, as he impacted my educational experience in a very positive way!
AMAZING prof!
A great prof! Easy grader, especially on essay's on tests.. would take any class he teaches again, it was a fun learning experience.
oh Greg Kelly, you wonderful man. Has a great sense of Humor and great teaching skills that go with it. he is very fair and tells you exactly what hes looking for for tests and assignments. overall he is a great human being. Ive had him 3 times so far. Great man, great teacher
Awesome prof! Would definitely take him again if I could! Definitely helped with presentation skills!
I have had Greg as my instructor in 2 courses. He has an undeniable understanding and passion of what he does. He marks very fair, and is very clear on what he wants you to do with assignments. Would love to have teaching me again!
Greg is a fantastic prof with a huge heart. He genuinely cares about his students and wants to see them succeed, as long as you pay attention (which isn't tough with his lectures) and do your part you will get good grades I guarantee it. His lectures are enjoyable and make the content interesting. If he's your prof you're very lucky!
I have never taken one of Greg's classes and not been engaged. He makes things interesting and fun, always tells jokes and cares a lot about his students. He always helps when it's needed but has pretty clear descriptions of what he wants. 100% recommend if you want to enjoy learning and get a good mark.
There are no words to describe Greg -- he is an exceptional professor and is respected by all. He made our presentations class very entertaining and was VERY laid back during our presentations. 10/10 would recommend this prof! #gregyoutherealest
Greg Kelley is the BEST professor I've ever had in my entire 20 years. He cares so much about getting his information across and does it in a way that makes you want to listen. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed.
Greg Kelley is the BEST professor I've ever had. He is well respected by his fellow professor as well as all of the students. While he doesn't let you use your computer to take notes in class, it doesn't really matter because he gets his information across in a way that makes you remember. If you have any questions he takes the time to answer.
his dad jokes are on point
GREG KELLEY where do I even start. The BEST professor I've ever had. He is well respected and covers the content in a way that makes you want to listen #LostInTheSauce
Greg is hand down the best prof I've had. He'll make you show up to lectures as he doesn't post his lectures online, but he makes every single lecture entertaining and keeps everyone engaged for the entirety of the class.
I NEVER EVEN WRITE THESE BUT GREG IS THE SINGLE BEST PROF I'VE EVER HAD!!! HIS LECTURES ARE SO GENUINELY INTERESTING THAT YOU ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO CLASS!!?? ABSOLUTE GEM OF A PERSON. 10/10
Greg is by far the best prof I've ever had!! I don't know a single person that doesn't absolutely LOVE him. He is an amazing lecturer and the content is always interesting. He cares for his students a lot and has a great sense of humour. I would take any class he ever teaches. 11/10, best of the best... It's as simple as that.
He's a pretty funny dude, he clearly knows how to teach and his accent just makes his class all the more enjoyable.
I would take Greg's class a hundred times over. He's hands down the best professor I've ever had. I actually look forward to going to class! He clearly cares a lot about his students, and it is appreciated. He's against phones and laptops being used during lecture, and although it seems like a bummer, it makes it so much easier to learn the info
I took Gregs class just this past semester during the OPSEU strike and he went above and beyond to make sure his students were on track. He was very accessible, consistent and caring to all students. It is imperative to attend class since he does not post lectures online, however his class was so fun you won't want to miss class either way.
Greg is the kind of Prof who sincerely cares about his students and wants them to do well. During the strike, he made sure that everyone was still able to complete work and was happy to answer any questions we had. His classes are great and although he doesn't allow electronics, you'll learn to love this rule as his classes are really engaging!
Greg is wise, gives helpful feedback and is always there for extra help if you need it. He is willing to sit with you and work with you until you understand something. He is kind and patient. Listen to his direction and follow his instructions and you will not only do well in the class, but youll learn a lot in the process.
One of the smartest, funniest, and most genuine professors I've had in my 4 years of undergrad studies. A definite highlight, always looked forward to his classes.
Greg is the best prof I've ever had, and it's super disappointing that because of the college strike I didn't get to spend more time in class working hands-on with him. Aside from the strike when we were in class Greg made everything super clear and it made writing the research paper significantly easier. This was my last class at GH and I'm so glad that I had Greg as my prof.
He is literally the nicest guy. I would 10/10 recommend him as a professor to any student.
Had him for 3 classes in my second year (Contemporary Narrative, Presentations and Persuasion, and Subcultures and the Media) and he is absolutely perfect. Clear from the very start, and is made a 3 hour evening class very enjoyable.
This semester was affected by the 5-week OPSEU teacher's strike. During that time, Greg was incredibly attentive to his students. He made arrangements to give students a way to confer with him in person (regarding the very heavy capstone research project) despite the cancellation of classes.
He's a storyteller so he delivers material in a memorable way, but he's a tough marker. You need to be able to really grasp and apply the material to do well.
Greg is great. You have to attend his lectures because he doesn't post any of his slides, and even if he did there is very little put on them; all his content is from what he discusses. But, he makes class enjoyable and what he talks about very interesting and easy to understand, and you can tell he genuinely loves and cares about what he saying.
Great guy. Lovely to talk to. Very helpful with questions in regards to homework on in class work. Is serious about class and what he teaches. Allowed laptops in this class but has advised not in others. Outgoing and relaxed. A whole lot of fun, wish I had him for other classes.
Dr. Kelley is hands down my favourite prof/teacher I've ever had. He actually cares about his students and takes the time to learn their names and treats them with respect. His lectures are always entertaining and make you eager to learn more! I've had him for 3 classes so far and I hope I get him as a prof again next year!
Greg was really helpful all semester and you knew that he wanted to you to succeed, he was wonderful both in and out of class
greg is my favourite prof ive had, wonderful guy inside and outside of the classroom. texts are pretty easy as he gives good reviews.
I have had Dr. Kelley for 2 classes, Applied Research Project and Subcultures. Amazing! He is a cool and straightforward teacher. His marking scheme is pretty clear.
Best Prof i've had. Straight-forward and explains exactly what he wants. Just do what he says and you'll be acing the course.
good professor, has good ideas, thinks different from the rest. Not just another easy A
Take him every chance you get. Amazing teacher.
He's literally an icon. That is all.
Have had the pleasure of a few classes with Greg over my four years and he has consistently been my favourite teacher at Guelph-Humber. He's great at giving feedback, is very clear on what he wants, and is also hilarious. You'll do great if you pay attention and follow his simple guidelines!
First time having Dr. Kelley as a prof and honestly, I have nothing but good things to say about him. It was tough having an 8 a.m. class but he made it entertaining. He really cares about his students and wants you to do well so don't hesitate to reach out to him if you're struggling. Tests are fair. Attendance is mandatory or else you'll fail
HE IS THE BEST FOLKLORE PROF THERE IS. SO INVOLVED. HIS RETELLINGS ARE EXCITING TO LISTEN TO. NO ONE EVER HAS TROUBLE STAYING AWAKE IN HIS CLASS. HE IS STRAIGHT FORWARD EVEN TELLS U EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE TESTS. HES AMAZING. ALSO HE DOES MATCHING COSTUMES WITH HIS DAUGHTER EVERY YR FOR HALLOWEEN. LOVE IT. MOST ENTHUSIASTIC PROF EVER.
Greg is literally the most amazing professor I have ever had in my life. He has the most entertaining and engaging lectures. You barely have to study for his tests because he teaches everything so clearly. My schedule for next semester was planned entire around his classes so I would highly recommend his class.
Greg Kelley is honestly the most amazing prof Ive had everrrrr. I had him at 8 am and he made me excited to attend that 8 am. Hes so entertaining and teaches so amazingly that when I went back to study, I recalled things so well. I wish I could take Contemporary Narrative over and over! I planned my schedule to be in both of his sections next sem
Greg Kelly is an amazing professor. Lectures are the best as he makes them fun unlike the usual boring lecture. Do not switch out of his class.
Had Greg Kelley a few times for 3 separate classes and I have to say every-time I had him as a professor he was awesome! Probably my favourite prof at Guelph-humber.
Greg Kelley was an AMAZING professor! I only had him once this semester but plan on taking his classes in the future. He is very entertaining and enthusiastic about what he teaches and keeps the class engaged the ENTIRE lesson, even at 8 am. He does encourage hand writing notes, but he goes slow and repeats things if asked.
This is a professor that truly cares about what he teaches. His ability to draw you in through the lecture makes it captivating. I wish I showed up more because if you just listen to the lectures and truly care to understand what he says, it is easy to pass the class with great marks. He cares more about how you learn rather than what you learn!!!
Greg Kelley is one of the best professors at Guelph-Humber! He has taught me for three courses and I have enjoyed every single one of them. His teaching style really makes you want to learn and come to class.
Greg Kelley is one of the best professors at GH, and I appreciate the way he teaches. I really enjoyed all of the classes I had with him as he made learning exciting. One of the best decision I have ever made in school is switch into his class, and I've been lucky enough to have been taught by him for four courses throughout my time here.
Greg Kelley is such a great prof. His lectures are amazing and he is so great at telling stories. You have to take handwritten notes but he teaches at the perfect speed and really emphasizes on what is important. He is also very clear about all of the tests. Best prof at GH
amazing, easy to learn, very clear
Super nice guy, very down to earth and genuinely cared about my grades and my struggles in the class. Had to write notes by hand but made the classes super interesting every week.
Greg is a great professor that makes classes very engaging. This may be the only class that I feel like I actually learn and retain information from because he has a great method of teaching. I was worried about writing notes without laptops, but Im glad he has this policy because I learned more. Hes also very nice and funny!
No matter what class you have with Greg Kelley, you will always be happy to attend his lectures. He makes them interesting and and he is really on the ball with what he teaches. I also appreciate his "no laptop" rule as it has made me focus more in class.
I normally don't fill these out but honestly, Greg was the best prof I ever had in my entire school career. I'm not exaggerating when I say that his classes are interesting, engaging, and (wild concept) YOU ACTUALLY LEARN! I will be going out of my way in the future to take his classes. I recommend you do the same!
Greg is an amazing professor. I never would've thought I'd be comfortable in a class about public speaking but he makes it so easy to do. He breaks everything down in a lot of detail in his lectures and makes it very clear what he's looking for which is very helpful. I would recommend going out of your way to have Greg as a prof for all classes.
This course was such a cool opportunity to try new forms of public speaking that you never put attention towards but are so beneficial. Allows you to be creative and is an overall interesting class as you see your classmates and how they deliver their speaking skills. Brings people together after hearing their stories
It is interesting to hear how this course is delivered. The curriculum is something you wouldn't expect but it is super intriguing and something I genuinely will remember
Greg is a great prof, very easy to talk to and always accommodating!
One of the BEST profs I've ever had! You'll walk out of his class actually learning something.
Greg Kelley is probably the greatest prof I've ever had! He is super engaging and his lectures are far from boring. I remembered every single detail because he makes you actually care for the information. His class feels less like you are being force-fed information and more like a conversation between student and teacher. Highly recommend
Dr. Kelley is the best prof I've ever had at Guelph-Humber. He has a passion for his studies in Contemporary Narrative and actually enjoys being an educator. He makes 8 AM classes INTERESTING and ENERGETIC. He explains the work in a detailed manner. Would recommend taking his class if you ever get the chance to.
Fantastic Professor overall! Great lectures taught with interesting stories, and exams fair. If you show up to class, review your notes, it's all fair game. There are no trick questions. The only thing that throws me off is his personal skills. When it comes to saying hello, goodbye, and thank you, he tends to ignore you. I find it odd.
I dont even know where to start with..... this prof is an absolute gem. Lectures are fun and not boring as in other classes. Fun assignments. NO LAPTOPS!!!! :)
Important: You'll do better if you do the readings; Dundes DIDN'T write about the vanishing hitchhiker; and Happy Saturnalia!
Greg Kelly is one of the best profs at Guelph-Humber! Great lectures and very knowledgeable. I am really looking forward to having him as a prof again.
The best professor I've ever had!
By far the best professor I have ever had to pleasure to learn from, Greg is one of those profs you meet once or twice in university, he is amazing at teaching and I am really going to miss learning about folklore from him. Definitely recommend him for whatever course you are taking.
Very engaging lectures that actually make you want to come to class. A very fair and reasonable marker - definitely recommend taking his class!
I had Greg almost every year throughout university and loved it. The class that stuck out to me was presentations, he made overcoming my anxiety of public speaking way easier than expected and always had such a great attitude. He was genuinely passionate about everything he taught BUT wouldnt let you go to the washroom unless on break. didnt like
Dr. Kelley is easily one of my favourite professors. I think anyone could agree with that statement. His lectures are extremely entertaining and it is obvious that he cares for his students. I wouldn't suggest missing classes though, you will be missing a lot of important information.
Greg is AMAZING. I've had him for AHSS 2130 (Subcultures), AHSS2020 (Presentations) and AHSS2030 (Narrative), and all of my experiences with him have been amazing. He's the best prof I've ever had in 3 years here. I ALWAYS look forward to his classes, and he makes them so fun, welcoming, and interesting. Take him every chance you get! Trust me!
Dr. Greg Kelly is an amazing professor. He gives great feedback and guides you in the right direction especially with MDST 4500. Since it is the capstone project he really helps in making you understand what needs to be done. He gives feedback or answers questions really fast and they are informative.
Dr. Kelley is amazing. He makes the class content from 1st year all the way to 4th very interesting. He wants you to WANT to learn. He is amazing, gives amazing feedback and is ALWAYS available to chat. He is the best when it comes to office availability. He is clear, gives examples and answers all your questions. One of my fav profs at GH!
Dr. Kelley has consistently remained one of my favorite professors at GH since I first had him for his subcultures class. He is one of the most engaging professors, and he always brings a happy, upbeat attitude to class. While this class may be scary because of how long and how much the paper is worth, you couldn't have a better prof teaching it!
Greg made my university experience at least 100x better! My guy was inspirational and gave great feedback. His classes were the only ones I looked forward to going to! Although writing a huge paper in his Applied Research class was tough, I achieved all my goals because he was our prof! I wouldn't want it any other way! Keep be amazing Greg!
Greg's the best prof I've had the pleasure to work with at GH!
I have taken classes with Dr. Kelley multiple times and he is always one of my favourite profs. Even if I don't typically enjoy the subject he finds a way to make it engaging and fun to learn about.
Dr. Kelley is an amazing prof who goes out of his way to help his students do the best they can. His classes are engaging and he makes sure we are equipped with the tools to succeed. Im very fortunate to have had him during my time at GH!
Dr. Kelley gives us the knowledge and techniques we need to successfully carry out our speeches this semester. He is a motivating professor. I appreciate his diligence and enthusiasm as a professor for this class!
A real legend right there!
He was an amazing professor!
LOVE Greg Kelley! He is my favourite prof at GH. TRULY a gem at our school and a privilege to have him as your prof. Not kidding. For presentations class you definitely need to show up or you wont pass as you need to hear his lectures to know how to do the speeches but Greg is very descriptive in feedback and will give you tips to succeed!
Such a nice teacher. Though I hate presenting, he made the class very enjoyable and interesting. I would love to have him again as a teacher.
Greg was awesome! He seemed sorta strict the first class so I got a bit intimidated but it ended up being one of my favourite classes this sem. He's super easy going and made online class a lot less boring and robotic feeling. He's supportive, kind and funny and overall a great prof. I would definitely recommend taking his class.
A good professor overall. A hard but fair marker.
Greg is an amazing professor! I'm so happy I was lucky enough to have him as a professor especially during a semester I, unfortunately, was not able to attend classes in person due to health reasons. He's super helpful and understanding and his lectures are always just the right length as well as being actually interesting.
He is the best prof I have ever had, his lectures are so entertaining, he has a great accent and he truly cares about the success of his students. He is a tough marker but run it through Grammarly and youre good.
Dr. Kelley was amazing! He is so passionate about what he does which makes his class that much more enjoyable! His lectures are clear, concise and to the point, which is not very common with most of the professors I have had in the past. Overall Dr. Kelley was a great prof and I will be looking forward to taking classes with him in the future!
I had Dr. Kelley for MDST 2090 and loved him!! The class itself was very interesting and his explanations were very clear and straightforward. He is very approachable and understanding so if you're struggling with anything (class related or not), he'll be able to help you out. We didn't have a textbook but make sure you do your readings!
Such an amazing professor and a kind man who clearly cares about his students and is interested in what he's teaching. He's very understandable and easy to talk to. Being in his class was such a great experience. I hope to have him again someday!
I've had 3 classes with Dr. Kelley, this was my last one before I graduate. I can truly say he is my favourite professor at U of GH. One of the most passionate, intelligent and overall just amazing, educators that I've ever had. The school is very lucky to have him inspire students every day.
Professor Kelley is one of the best profs you will experience. I have done 3 years of university and he really stood out. He puts so much effort into making the course fun and engaging and hey who doesn't love a southern accent. He made fun plans for Halloween and made every class entertaining. Definitely worth your while to not skip.
Dr. Kelley made this course so worthwhile. His lectures were phenomenal and he is an absolutely amazing professor. Make sure you do the readings and take diligent notes. He's accessible outside of the classroom and cares for his students.
He is a really great prof when it comes to always learning new and interesting topics! Has really specific requirements for grading but does not have clear instructions or rubrics so its difficult to know what he wants. Could be clearer on his comments, pretty vague. Overall good prof and interesting course.
Professor Kelley has very clear classes and assignment instructions, his assessments (Presentations and Persuasions class) were very fun to do.
As far as profs go it doesn't get better than Dr. kelly. He is ready to listen he is helpful and inspiring and his knack for getting the best out of his students will encourage you to be the best you can.
Greg Kelley is like that fun uncle everyone has. You can't hate the guy, and he always has a story to tell. A fantastic professor through-and-through.
Professor Kelley is an amazing teacher! He is hilarious and makes class intriguing. He shows a passion for the content he teaches his students, and in return, it makes you want to pay attention more. He is understanding and marks fairly. If you have Professor Kelley for a class, you are one of the lucky ones.
Dr. Kelley is honestly one of the best professors I ever had. I am someone who is terrified of public speaking, yet Dr. Kelley honestly helped make this one of my favourite classes of the semester. He's extremely approachable and understanding toward his students, and if you haven't taken a class with him, you're missing out. Thanks Dr. Kelley!
Very weird criteria for how he marks. Definitely seems to grade off the top of his head then follow a set rubric. Seems like he likes talking more about himself then the actual class. Nice guy but be prepared for him to go on a tangent about something unrelated that makes class go longer than it needs to.
Greg Kelley was an amazing professor. The course was so great as we only had a couple of speech assignments. No exam, No midterm, No tests and quizzes and no textbook. Very fair marker and loves to help out his students!
Great professor and loves to help out! There were three major papers that you have to complete but trust me as long as you do the readings you should be fine!
Best professor at Guelph-Humber! His course work can be tough but you learn so much! His lectures are always super engaging and the content is so interesting! I am jealous of all the people who get to have prof Kelley this semester!
I think he is a good mentor
Greg is an amazing prof and would definitely take him again. he is very accommodating and understanding of your life outside of school. Overall he gives good lectures and has a clear criteria when it comes to grading.
I was privileged to have Dr.Kelley more than once at GH & I can say he is definitely the best prof I ever had, & that is including my whole post-secondary experience! His stories & sense of humour makes his lectures more entertaining & the best part is that he is not like most professors that have you waiting for your grades, he stays on top of it!
Takes his time to explain everything properly and grades really fairly
Best professor ever! Took his study abroad class to Scotland and England and it was the most fun I've ever had!!! He is genuinely so nice, funny, and passionate about everything he teaches! If you have the chance to take his study abroad class you won't regret it! I'm just jealous I won't be able to take it over and over again!
Greg Kelley is an amazing professor! He is entertaining to watch lecture and he loves what he is talking about. He can answer every single question you could ever think of and is always kind. 10/10!
Greg Is an amazing professor who really cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. He is committed to developing a strong connection with them and always makes himself available!
Dr. Kelly is an amazing professor, whenever attending his class he makes sure to use personal examples to understand the topic. He marks well and answers any questions you might have by email or in person. Overall, I learned a lot in the social media class and enjoyed what he discussed.
I had Greg for multiple second-year courses and have enjoyed them all. Very engaging lectures with useful information that can actually be put into real-life use with jokes here and there too, as he's rickrolled the class twice lol. Personally one of my favorite prof's at GH for media and I am glad he teaches onwards from the second year courses.
Dr. Kelley is a very sweet and caring professor. While keeping his classes very informative he w sure to have fun with them and not making them boring. He was one of the very few classes I enjoyed attending!
Dr. Kelley is one of the best professors I've ever encountered. He keeps students engaged with jokes and riddles while also relating the content to real-life comparisons and stories. His lectures are very interactive and engaging, and he's full of fun facts. He is also very clear regarding instructions. Definitely my favourite class so far.
Dr. Kelly was a great prof! He was very informative and engaging with every lecture/class class. He was also very fair and understanding as well. He offers help when needed and provides good feedback on content. Really enjoyed his class!
He's a great storyteller, very fun yet informative. Provides feedback and always has marks ready to hand back the next week. Allows for a lot of creativity and freedom of expression. Always engaging and takes time to get to know his students. Overall great semester and fantastic class!
Dr. Kelley was an amazing prof! His lectures were informative and useful, especially for a public speaking class where you may feel nervous and uncomfortable. He created a supportive and welcoming environment for my class this semester. Undoubtedly one of the greatest professors at Guelph- Humber!
Dr Kelley is a fantastic professor! He is super accommodating and provides students with intriguing lectures. His class is very easy to stay engaged in. This class helped boost my presentation skills and provided me with important skills to carry through my life.
Great professor and decently easy class. Doesn't post lectures online so attendance definitely necessary!
Prof. Kelley runs an engaging class with intriguing lectures. His feedback is helpful, and he creates a supportive environment. The assignments are fair, and unstuckstudy AI proved useful for preparing. Overall, a great class experience.
I had Dr. Kelley for 2 classes and study abroad. He is my favourite prof at GH. He is funny, understanding, very accommodating and just a great prof. I'm sad I won't have him again because if I could have him for every class I would. He is a somewhat easy marker and gives in depth feedback. I can't recommend him enough.
I took the International Field Study course with Dr. Kelley this summer, and he was nothing but great. I have had him 3 times for 3 different classes, and his lectures were incredibly engaging and humorous! Having the opportunity to study abroad with him was a once in a lifetime experience, and he made it even more fun.
lectures are good and the information matters. does not post slides so attendance does matter. overall a good prof and a good grader.
Overall, Greg has stood out as one of the best professors I have encountered thus far in my post-secondary education. He is very attentive to students' needs and is easily approachable. He asserts a great balance between having fun with the content of the course and providing many insights which bring the subject matter to life.
Greg Kelley is truly the blueprint of what a perfect professor should be. He is hilarious, caring, empathetic, and has a passion for what he teaches and his students. Very good with grading as well. If you are taking a class with Greg, be excited and pay attention during his lectures and you will not only pass, but have fun at the same time.
Great professor. Attendance is mandatory as all the information is provided by lecture only, but the assignments are very open-ended and very fun to complete. Great class and a top-tier professor that teaches it.
This is my second time having Dr. Kelley, and he's one of the best at UofGH. He combines humour, respect, and care for students creating a supportive environment. In this presentation class, he eased students' nerves with encouragement. His grading is fair, and his lectures are engaging. If you have him, you're in for an incredible semester!
Was a very fun class! Learned a lot
He is truly one of the best professors I've had. Although I'm not a media student, I enrolled in his Study Abroad course, and it was an unforgettable experience. The course not only offered a meaningful opportunity to learn, but it also sparked my interest in folklore studies. I highly recommend taking him. He's the best professor EVER🤗
Tries his best to have students interact and feel welcomed. Makes some funny dad jokes and is very nice!
Very nice person. Quite quirky I would say but in a really good way that makes the lectures interesting, even when we switched online because of the strike I still really actually enjoyed the course. Quizzes and tests are never a surprise nor is the material surprising, supplies you with a lot of resources to use most of the time. Amazing class imo
Honestly, one of the best profs I've had this year. Dr. Kelley explains the course material well and makes it easy to understand. He is very knowledgeable about the material and is always willing to answer any questions you have. Dr. Kelley also encourages students to participate and share ideas related to the course material.
Cool prof and reasonable grader
Greg Kelly made learning fun, engaging and worthwhile to participate in. He's also clearly a great guy who you really enjoy getting to know during class. Can't recommend highly enough.
