Makes biology an interesting topic!

Are you guys serious? Her class was one of the most fun I've taken. She's tough, but if she wasn't, I don't think I'd remember half of the things I do.

If you haven't had this class yet, you need to consider taking Professor Kelly. She's the best.

She makes you LEARN the material, not just spit the text back at her. If you are a bio major this is your lady. She has a lot of knowledge. She likes things her way, so learn it. I had a blast in her class lookin at critters under the microscope!!!

Both courses themselves cover a lot of material. If youre not prepared to study, take a lower level class. She's not easy, I can see how she may be tough for some students, but if youre taking them to 'learn', she's one of the best professors out there.

Only Bio 3a teacher. Very difficult class and teacher doesn't narrow down what you need to study so she challenges your study skills. Get along with her because she puts a lot of points into "participation."

Nice lady, very good teacher! You'll love her!

Professor Kelly is one of the best, most caring teachers I've ever had the privilage of being taught by. She's always there if you need help. However, you really have to be willing to work for your grade. But you'll get it, if you try. Effort, mixed with a lot of memorization is the key!

Professor Kelly is an awsome teacher. To get an "A" all you have to do is this: Show up, be interested, know the material. Anything from lecture or your book is fair game on tests. She's a wonderful instructor!

She's great! show up, take notes, & study. Use the CD from text book it is very helpful. All quizes are from notes. She usually let's class out early, but it is to your benefit to stay & examine models for tests.

talk about split personalities!! one minute she's nice the next she's screaming about something totally pointless. she's very condescending and makes you feel like you're back in high school. the labs are easy but watch out for the exams. she's the only gen bio prof @ BC so get used to her.

very cool prof. would recommend her class.

Prof. Kelly is a good teacher. If you put effort into the class then you should be fine. She will be able to answer most of your questions if you just ask. Basically, you aren't going to get an A if you don't give A effort.

Shes wierd, can flip out in a moment and be back to normal in less then 3 seconds. she really is all for favorites, put in the effort, and you can get a good grade, very time consuming class, trick lecture tests, make sure you write EVERYthing down.

I think she tries to be very helpful if you actually take the class seriously. And I LOVE the podcasts--it is great to be able to replay lectures.

really hard class, tricky lecture questions, tricky lab questions, very trickyyyy.

write everything down her exams are just her lectures. don't even look at the book. listen to podcasts. over and over. go to the lab at your own time ESPECIALLY for exam 2 everything you do in class WILL BE ON THE EXAM. get tutoring even if your an A student it helps to learn her tricks.

Bio is my major and this was my first real class at BC. She really scared the crap out of me. I worked hard and I got more out of the class then just a grade. I totaly agree that if you take her you should work hard. but that doesn't mean suck up just do the extra credit and apply yourself and you should do well.

IF you want an easy A don't take this class. Professor kelly scared the crap out of me with the letter she sent out and I am greatfull for it. I learned more then just biology from this class. I learned what it was like to be a student. If you don't talk to her and don't care about the class you will not do well. The comments I read on here that ba

She is intimidating and that is the sum total of all complaints made. I loved this class, I took it very seriously and got a good grade. Dont take it if your not sure about school or biology, it is a waste of your time and hers. She tries hard to give good grades in a hard class and partispation counts a lot with her. Hard class but worthwhile.

Not an easy class but not an easy subject; all the stuff you learn in her class will come back in other courses. Professor Kelly is great, she really goes above and behond answering any questions you have or discussing things with you. She showed interest in my goals and though Im no longer in her class she still helps me when I have questions or

She is very understanding. She helped me with my class schedule when I got my first got my first job as an RN. The class has been a great recall of pathophys concepts. It will be helpful for pre-Rn students

Tough, but a good teacher.

This is a very tough Biology class. But getting an A is not impossible, there were like 6 A's in my class alone my semester. You have to memorize a lottt, but it isn't hard. I am not a good memorizer, but create a system to memorize. I got in a group, in which one person took pics, and another made notes. worked out well. make sure u group study!

Best professor Ever!!!!

Great teacher...made Biology interesting...

Not the easiest class to take at BC, but if you're a Biology major it shouldnt be tough. This class is for people who are serious about a career that involoves Bio. Prof Kelly teaches what you need to know about the subject. People who complain are lazy and need to work for a good grade not expect to show up to class and get an A

She's tough but fair. Prepare to follow her instructions to the letter and study hard because the material is dense.

Good professor who made lectures interesting. Engaging, although doesn't like answering stupid questions. Overall, I would take her again.

Her tests are somewhat difficult --more so than most other tests you'll encounter at BC -- but they are manageable. Me and my buddy both received A's when we took her class, but we took it serious. I think I would of got a B if I had let up, but I'm glad I didn't. I you have a choice I would recommend choosing another professor.

This was a tough course, but it was extremely interesting and fun. Although Kelly is hard, it's because she wants you to learn. The material from this class stays with you forever. I can sincerely say that I wish I could take it again. One of the best profs at BC.

She records her lectures and downloads them online for your use. So useful and got an A in lecture because of that. I could never follow her in lab, never had an idea what was going on.

Kelly is a tough lady BUT she is fair and teaches well. keep your head down and STAY BUSY otherwise she will screech at you. an A in this course is very possible!

This class is definitely not easy. It was the hardest B I've ever learned. However it turned out to be my favorite class I've taken yet. Kelly is fairly tough but fair. She is actually a great teacher. All you need to do is pay attention to lecture and do the Lab Manual. Anything she says/is on the manual is fair game for the exams. Just study.

By far the most challenging I've had, but it is possible to pass as long as you set your mind to it! Listen to the podcasts, read over the lab manuals, attend open labs, take good notes, and read ahead :)

I'm not an actual Bio major, but I have to say Prof. Kelly made this class fun, along with the intensive learning. Do your best, STUDY, and above all, show up to class! An A is possible, I ended up with a B, since I slacked off a bit lol. Take this class seriously and you'll definitely get the grade you desire (:
