She is young, but extremly understanding, kind, clear, knowledgable, active, reasonable, and HOT. Unlike most HCC's instructors, she consideres us as adults and you will be very comfortable in her class. Tests, assignments and etc are standard and easy upon spending an average effort. She is not easy, but extremly helpful.

Kelly is a great teacher! She drops your lowest test score, so if you have done well on all of your test you can actually skip the last test. There is a short essay every test day. But they are pretty easy. If you look at the power point that she posts online all the answers are there. You don't really need the book since she makes a power point.

Kelley! She is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Loves her job too. 12 quizzes, 4 unit tests, 3 reflection journals. She will drop 2 of your lowest quiz grades, 1 unit test, and makes your 3rd reflection journal optional if you got 100's in the first two. No final exam. Brownie points for super entertaining lectures. Makes me laugh till I cry. NO JOKE!

This class consisted of chapter tests and discussion boards. Make sure to follow the guidelines for the assignments and you'll do well. The material was interesting and the textbook is free. Do all 3 attempts for each of the quizzes, and use those to study for the unit tests.

Assignments are usually a week apart. Discussions are straightforward, & make sure you're able to bring something to the table. Step out of your shell and you're set!

I took her class online which uses an online book with weekly chapter readings and an open-book quiz for each, plus a total of 4 unit quizzes. There are discussions held usually every other week which require 3 different submissions that must be timely as stated for full credit. She is an attentive teacher and this is not a difficult class.

I took her Psychology class and there was SO MUCH WORK. Every week you must submit a discussion board (which must include 3 posts, all posted on different days of the week) or a 500+ word "essay" in order to receive full credit, on top of a quiz on every chapter. She's an extremely harsh grader and will take points off for insignificant mistakes!
