Grades are dependent on her current mood of the day. I had to report her to her supervisor just to get her to grade one of my papers at all.

Kelly gives a lot of work to her students but, you won't have a teacher that is more understanding and actually cares about her student. Her teaching methods work and what she teaches actually sticks to you. It's not a class that you take and later on you can't remember what they taught you.

Every week you have a case study about an adolescent's delinquent behavior and you have to "defend" the adolescent who is being tried; you use the information you learn that week in class to complete the case. Do not forget Bronfenbrenner or you will not do as well on the paper (she scores pretty high anyway). She is hilarious!!
