For all the students rating her poorly, this is false. DO NOT blame the professor for the amount of material needed to be known. Biology in general is not the easiest course, regardless of your professor you will have to study ALOT. I studied and reviewed the material, and I received an A in her class with no problem. Its not hard.

She is very helpful. 4 lec and lab tests. The lab ones are departmental. We had a lot of chapters to cover, not because of her, but the materials were a lot! she posts PowerPoint slides on angel. she helps everyone and always wants you to ask her so she can lead you. Love her :)

I loved her!!! She is so kind. I was struggling in the beginning of the semester getting 76's on the first lect and lab exams. I went to her office and she sat down with me and explained to me how to improve myself. I would most certainly take her class again. If you respect her, she will respect you. If you study hard you can do well.

Prof Kelley is one of my favorite bio professors by far. Everything is powerpoint, no book. If it's on the study guidepowerpoint, it's on the test; there's just a lot of information. Post labs and pre labs count for points. Exams are difficult but fair, and extra credit is offered. Would highly recommend taking her for bio 2400 or 2730.

Prof. Kelley is hilarous in her own way. She knows her material, but sometimes stumbles and may confuse. May need to remind her of what homework is due when. Lots of Pre labs and Post labs!

The class is hard but if you put the time into it, you will do good. She gives packets of what to expect on practicals and tests, so it's not like you go in blinded. She is very helpful and is always around answering questions. I highly recommend taking her classes.

Very good biology teacher, will help you if you ask or come by her office before or after class, don't get me wrong class is hard if you don't study but if you know your stuff than you should do fine. Also she would give us study guides for each exams which helped out a ton!

Honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had with my college experience. Works with you on understanding things and will spend time in lecture to make sure its clear and well understood. Gives study guides. If you don't pass its because you didn't try. Willing to help out anytime.

Great teacher! The content of this class is rather difficult, but if you put in the time and effort you will get the grade you want! She is very nice and is always open to your questions and concerns. You can tell she wants her students to succeed, just wants to make them work for it. Only problem I have with her is that she takes forever to grade

Professor Kelley is helpful and kind. Passed the class but it was also challenging which I didn't give up. Recommend students to be prepared, ask questions, don't give up, and you will do just fine. What I like most in this class that lectures goes right side by side with lab experiments that will help clarify the understanding of each BIO topics.

Professor Kelley is one of my favorite I've had throughout my college career! So kind and caring and makes you feel so comfortable asking for guidance. Attendance is not mandatory but so much is covered each lecture I don't recommend skipping. Taking her for patho this winter, so excited :)

Professor K is one of the best professor i have had. as in any biology class, you need to study to earn the grade. it is not an easy class, but very doable if you study. she really cares for her students and their success. she will take the time to explain material in both the lab and lecture. she also gives extra credit. i recommend taking her

Didn't make the class difficult, easy tests, nice, and friendly. Just slow on grading things and returning them.

She is a wonderful prof, one of the best I have had. The class itself is an extremely hard class, you have to study min of 6-7 hours a week so be prepared. She gives a lot of extra credit and it always willing to help. She does not do is give reviews for the exams, which makes it hard for the lab exams, and gives very little hw and quizzes!

Great teacher! She works with students and actually listens. She is quite funny and makes tests difficult to test your knowledge. Take her class if you want to challenge yourself to do better. She has 4 exams, and 3 lab exams. I finished with an A in the class. She is by far one of my favorite teachers I have ever had at MCC. You'll love her.

I didn't put enough effort into the class, so I didn't do as well as I should've. However, I looked forward to going to this class, her lectures were the best of the best. I caught on to the lab exams halfway through, they are not that hard if you study. I will miss going to this class. I didn't like the take-home lecture chapters. Learning center!

Dr. Kelley was an excellent teacher for the subject. She made the lectures easy to understand. However, this class, as of when I took it, was not structured as a non-bio major's class. So, be prepared to work hard and study. Now, don't let that scare you off, she's willing to help you as long as you ask for it. Definitely would take again.

This class is easy if you read the material assigned. It can seem like a lot of reading, but most of this I remember learning in HS. This teacher is fair on grading, gives a decent amount of EC and tells you what you'll need to know for the test. She's also really good at doing her job (the lectures solidified the reading).

Professor Kelley was great. She is lecture heavy, but she is very helpful and approachable. You can tell she really enjoys what shes teaching. I only used the PowerPoints without purchasing the book and still received a B in the class. However, other students who had the book said that it helped. Great lab instructor as well. No complaints.

Prof. Kelley was one of the best professors I had at macomb. I actually took her for BIO 1000 before taking Micro with her. Her dedication and true passion for teaching her students is amazing and while yes she does lecture heavy, her lectures are extremely helpful and she keeps them interesting. If you work hard and go to class you will do great.

Had Professor Kelley for both bio 1000 and 2400. She cares about students education And well being. Very passionate about biology and enthusiastic when lecturing. Lectures are heavy and there is a lot of homework, but it's necessary for the course. Disorganized at times. Do not study last minute. Lots of material to study to be successful.

Professor wants to see you succeed and will help you do so if you put in the work.

I have taken Kelley for bio1000 and bio2400 and has 2 different experiences. For bio1000 I had no problems. I felt like I could come to her with a problem and it would be fixed/resolved immediately. For bio2400 she was a little bit harder on the grading and was slower to respond to any concerns/questions I had. I do love her lec style though.

Lecture exams were based off of her notes in class and she offers extra credit in the lecture exams! Very nice professor and her notes are straight forward, would definitely recommend her if you need to take microbiology ! Lab write ups were kind of difficult but other than that class is easy!

doesnt understand that she gives an overwhelming work load. we DONT have 20 years of science background, she moves at a fast pace. very nice and funny. but doesnt teach material well at all. the Hw and Notes have no correlation to the tests whatsoever. writes down uanessacry info on notes that arent even on the test, makes it confusing to study

Guys. This is college. Info cant be spoon-fed to you. Prof Kelley did a great job lecturing material and emphasizing what would be on the exam. There were some extra credit questions too. Just put in the effort and you'll pass. Lecturing was fine, speed of grading was not good.

Sweet lady, with good intentions. This was her 1st time teaching nutrition, so I give her props because it was a jammed semester. Her test keys were often wrong, but study/put in effort & youll be fine. Had no problem meeting with her outside of class for help & study advice. Ended with an A- ! PSA- college isnt meant to be a walk in the park...

Prof Kelley is amazing! She gives great lectures and is always willing to help. She wants her students to succeed. This is not an easy class, so get ready to work. She makes you work hard for your grade, but it is doable. This semester got a little crazy with COVID-19, but Prof Kelley was extremely fair and helpful. I highly recommend her!

She is one of my favorite professors and truly loves her job! I'm going into nursing and this class was by no means easy. Prof K is very upfront about the class and she does a great job in her lectures. It is a lot of material, in a short amount of time, but she teaches very well. Highly recommend her!!!

She is a good professor, responds to email and is willing to help and answer questions. Overall, the class was organized and she records all the lectures and explains topics in detail. If you study and do assignments by due dates, you will pass with an A. The labs was done via online and the post labs were a difficult but manageable. Good luck!

Best biology prof Ive ever had, and Ive had my fair share of bad biology profs. Kelley provides good thorough lectures and makes sure to explain everything well during lab. Exams are very straightforward and arent too hard if you actually study. If you need extra help, she is more than willing to meet with you before class. I highly recommend.

This is a very tough class regardless of the professor! Dr. Kelley made it easier to understand. Ultimately you have to study the material is not her fault if you aren't willing to put in the work.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Kelley. She presents the information clearly during her lectures, she presents her students with many real world scenarios to better understand the material, and she correlates the lab material extremely well. I would recommend her to anyone looking to take biology courses here at MCC.

Professor Kelley was a kind and knowledgeable teacher that provided students with the tools to succeed. She offered a more than fair amount of extra credit on each lecture/lab exam and provided 2 extra credit labs. Microbiology is not an easy subject; ensure you are prepared to put in the time to succeed before you take. Read the textbook chapters.

In my opinion, she is a great professor but the class itself is challenging. There is a lot of material and a lot of concepts you have to learn, so you CANNOT fall behind. If you want to get an A, you must attend every class and lab and you have to review concepts outside of the class. There were a decent amount of students who dropped out.

Professor Kelley is an amazing lady but this class is terribly hard. Your grade is based off of how you do on lecture exams. Almost every question has something along the lines of "a & b are both correct" "none of the above" "all of the above". Studying is absolutely required, you will not pass unless you put in the effort. Fun overall, but study!

She was very nice and helpful. The class had 4 Lecture and 4 Lab exams. They were all worth 100 points each. That was the main portion of grades. The rest were online homework all added up to 100 points.

Dr.Kelley is an amazing professor, that cares about her students, and tries to make microbiology as interesting as she can. She is very test heavy, and lectures can be long. She EXPECTS you know your stuff, and if you do, tests are not as difficult. Take advantage of extra credit opportunities! Go to office hours and find a good study partner!

You will not be disappointed taking this professor. For such a hard course she really does her best to make sure you are successful if you put in the work. Never a boring

By far one of my favorite teachers! Micro is a HARD class and requires lots of studying but going to her office hours and staying on top of things makes a world of a difference. She was happy to help when I didn't understand something. She prints out PP for lecture, and takes notes with you while teaching. Study her PP. She made me love micro

This professor is definitely a mom at heart. The class atmosphere is supportive and accommodating. Lots of extra credit offered, with good study guides and lecture notes given to do well on exams. The material is fair, not too hard or too easy, but it definitely requires good study skills. The book is used in assignments but not on the exams.

Dr. Kelley is fabulous at her job! She takes pride in her work and despite being out ill for a chunk of the semester, she still did a great job filling in the blanks. Lab attendance imo is absolutely mandatory, even result days. She hands out ppt pkts for students to keep jot on. Study the ppts for lecture exams and the lab manual for lab exams.

I love Dr. Kelley, but her course is extremely difficult. I'm an early college student, and I ended up failing her course. She is a great teacher to talk to if you need help with anything. She cares for her students. The course is just extremely hard to understand because it's a new topic every class. No repetition/going over each topic.

Professor Kelly is such a sweetheart. I took her micro class in person during the spring/summer. She is super nice, super fair with grading, and everything on her exams were exactly what she teaches you in lecture. As long as you study and ask questions you will pass.

The professor is very fair in her grading and exam questions. If there is any sort of issue, the professor is quick to rectify the situation. There is a lot of content but it is manageable if you stay on top it. Prof Kelley really wants you to do well and will stay after class if you have questions. Prof Kelley will forever be one of my favorites!
