Dr. Kelly is very nice and somewhat funny, all in all the class is easy but the final is completely irrational. Have a good grade before going into the final or else you probably wont do well.

This intro to chem/phys class was harder than it should have been. She does not grade fairly. When writing up you lab report, make sure you have ALL the infomation down, otherwise, she'll take off points for the smallest thing. There was barly any extra credit opportunities. As long as you do the reading, you should be ok with the quiz/midterm/fina

I learned a super lot about CHemistry. Dr. K is very, very helpful, and explains things as many times as I need it. She's fine, but I was still able to focus on the lecture.

Dr. Kelly is an excellent teacher. She really cares about her students, and she shows a great deal of enthusiasm for her subject.

Even though I do not have her for the lab part, her lectures are clear and actually understandable for a hard subject like Chem. The class does come with alot of work, but the lectures are understandable.

A LOT OF QUIZZES ABOUT 20 PTS EACH. BUT THEY ARE TAKE HOME AND U CAN WORK WITH ANYONE. IN THE BEG. I WENT TO ALL THE LECTURES BUT I RARELY PAID ATT. FROM THE MIDDLE TOWARDS THE END I ALMOST STOPPED GOING EXCEPT TO TURN IN THE QUIZ. JUST READ THE TEXTBOOK AND READ HER POWERPOINTS. I GOT A B ON ALL MY MIDTERMS. SHE TELLS YOU WHATS ON IT. PRETTY EASY

Dr. Kelly is the best teacher I have ever had.

Dr. Kelly is fantastic! She really gets into her lessons. It makes me want to take more chemistry classes.

she's awesome!

Dr. Kelly puts so much energy into her class, and she really loves what she does. I think she's awesome.

Dr. Kelly is awesome. She makes class interesting and is always willing to help. Some of the concepts are a bit tricky if you dont like chemistry or are new to it, but she makes it so clear and easy to do.

Dr. Kelly is a great teacher! if you ever need help, she'll be there to help you. she tries really hard to make the class interesting and fun for us

For lab, she is totally cool! Wants everyone to get an A and wants to be done with class like everyone else. funny too!

Dr. Kelly totally turned me on to science. I was never really into it before, but now I'm really psyched about taking more science classes--because of her!

She's so incredibly nice! Her weekly quizzes are a bit tricky, but if you have the book and internet access, you should be fine. If you're not the book-reading type, just attend her lectures. Everything is in the ppt, and the ppt is posted online. Very helpful and tries hard to make lectures interesting. Extremely approachable. Study for exams! :)

I wish she was teaching another class I could take next semester b/c she is one of the best profs I've had here. And when I thought that I would take a chemistry class, I was petrified. She worked wonders in easing my fears and breaking through to how interesting all this stuff really is. Besides, she's young + pretty. That doesn't hurt!

Dr. Kelly is amazing. She's extremely helpful and is an all around great teacher. She grades a bit tough, though.

She shows a lot of enthusiasm for chemistry as well as her students. It is quite difficult to follow her lectures at times because she goes off tangent with what she is actually trying to teach. Other than that, she is a great teacher.

She loves chemistry and her lectures are not too boring. I hate chemistry, but with her witty humor she actually makes this dull subject interesting. She grades hard on labs, so make sure your answers are thorough and clear. The exams are hard. You need to study. However, a 69% is a C- and 71% is a C. I got an 79%, but it turned out to be a B.

Prof. Kelly is a decent teacher. Her lectures are based on power points. It was most helpful to go online and read them before going to class, and then take notes only on what she says (or you could bring a voice recorder). If you read to book and actually do the assigned textbook problems, you be fine.

Very nice teacher. But truely you HAVE to read the book, you cannot rely on her powerpoints only. All her powerpoints are straight from the text anyways. You can miss a lecture and just read the book and copy the powerpoint online and be okay. You just have to be careful, though do NOT get behind on reading. Start right away.

Pretty easy class, tests are all multiple choice. Lectures are boring power points. Focuses alot on concepts, so study the book. No homework.

Tests are difficult and her lectures are boring, but make sure you go to class. You HAVE to read the book in order to do well on the tests. Do not get behind on homework and reading or you're going to have a VERY difficult time! However, she is very helpful and a decent teacher.

Tests are based on the lectures--I've had no problems,seems pretty straight forward. She is very helpful and posts discussion summaries for us to review. Uses a mix of powerpoint and overhead--makes it easy to understand. I didn't find her boring, but that's me.

Her tests (multiple choice) are pretty much straight out of the lecture/powerpoint. She makes concepts just as/more important than calculations on tests. The quizzes are graded much more harshly since they are short answer. Kind of a slow pace of teaching so i would suggest going to workshop to catch up for lab and calculations.

Kelly is a nice professor but doesnt teach the material well. Singmaster may be hard but you will learn more. I liked kelly but i dont know if I learned anything in her class. Deffinatly take Chem 10 b4 chem 1a.

Definitely one of the best teacher I ever had. I took this class because it was required for my major (Biology) and I heard lots about it before I took it. I can't believe how scared my friends made me now that its over. Dr. Kelly made it EASY and INTERESTING. I hope all my fellow Biology majors take her for Chem 1a.

Very approachable. Seems to really like what she does. Makes chemistry fun.

Awesome. The best professor at San Jopse State.

One word: AWESOME! I took another Chem 1a class with another professor and got a low grade, so I thought I would take it again to raise my GPA. I wish I had taken Dr. Kelly the first time because I feel like I wasted an entire semester, and lived through hell in that other class. Recommended highly!!!

Super nice. You can tell she likes what she does. She gives lots f examples that help you understand complex topics in chemistry.

You can tell Dr. Kelly has a lot of enthusiasm for chemistry and really wants to help students learn. The lectures are easy to follow, she gives plenty of examples, and she always makes time for students during office hours. One of the nicest Chemistry professors you'll ever have!

Don't listen to the whiners, two hours a week of lecture isn't nearly enough to cover all of the material, that is why you read the book and get outside help. That said, I busted my a** for a solid A. Remember kids, this is a weedout class, maybe you should switch to the mickey mouse business major if you can't handle it

Very nice teacher. Always willing to help. Has the students in best interest. I would definitely recommend her.

Dr. Kelly is a really great teacher and I wish she taught more chemistry classes because I would like to take her again.

She was an okay teacher. The grade is based solely on tests. She recommends some homework problems, but it isn't collected. Her lectures follow the textbook and doesn't really go in depth. She only solves easy problems and gives hard problems on tests. You mainly have to self-study.

Professor Kelly is a great teacher. She's nice and dorky, she makes the class go by fast and her demo's are cool! The material is challenging but you can pass if you put in the time to study!I definitely recommend her.

ignore the terrible comment. she is a great professor. i never read the book and i just follow her lecture and go to workshop. i ended up with a good grade. i don't even like chemistry. she try to be funny all the time which is dorky. she teaches fast at the beginning and fast at the end. test are fair. it just stuff you should know from lecture.

She's good at teaching, but many students were given a shock(including me) by the first test. It seems easy enough learning the topics in class, but make sure you do the homework questions she posts online, or you will struggle on tests. Don't bother trying to justify your answers in office hours, she doesn't take kindly to it =/. study hard!

chemistry is a very hard course! i found kelly to be very friendly, funny, and uses a lot of analogies to help clarify some confusing concepts. chemistry is a course not many love, but her in class experiments and her dorky (funny)sense of humor kept me laughing day after day. she is very passionate about chemistry, and tries to get you to be too.

She was very clear about what she expected us to know. She does powerpoint slides and many test questions came from them. It was nice that she gave online homework and gave us weeks to do it. Her pace was a bit behind the labs. She is very friendly and treats everyone fairly, doesnt make exceptions for anyone.

She is a nice professor. Her tests are a little hard so u have to do all the online homework. Her slides are very helpful. She responds to emails very quickly. She keeps the class interesteing with her somewhat entertaining jokes. Her demos are pretty good too. You should take her class.

General chemistry is difficult to understand but Dr. Kelly describes the concepts so well that it connects to the calculations. I really like her teaching style because she connects our material to the labs. Although her exams may be difficult, they are very manageable and easy to do if you pay attention in class. I got a B- in this course.

Dr. Kelly is a great teacher but she makes you work! Lectures are very clear and great at explaining concepts. Tests are a little tricky and requires you to really understand the fundamentals to do well. For most people to get an A it will require some extraordinary effort. But if you put in the work you'll definitely get a lot out of this class.

Go to class for free iclicker participation points! She makes lots of jokes... laughs at them herself... One time she did a magic trick! It was amazing! You have to do Owl hw online to get homework points, and they help A LOT! Exams are easy IF YOU STUDY! She's pretty. She could make a good actress! She's not mean. Always prepared for class:)

Go to each and every class, get the iClicker credit (don't buy the remote, its free), do all the online homework, pay attention in lab, and go to each seminar for the quizzes. This class takes a large amount of time, but if you do all these things, you'll have no problem. First 3 exams are tough, but the final is multiple choice and a breeze.

The class itself was cake if you care enough. She always makes an an attempt to help students out during office hours. No pop quizzes only 2 max 3 online quizzes that give you at least 2 tries to get the best score. Class isn't mandatory but content is repeated very similar to exams. All online homeworks are easy and equates to 1 whole exam.

She has a dry sense of humor but it's great. She tries to keep things interesting but is still thorough with her explanations. She does assign homework every lecture and it is a bit pricey but i didn't even do any of it and still got a good grade.

Fun and upbeat. She does assign homework but that may very well be the reason why I was able to pass her class. If you go to all of the lectures and do all of the homework assigned, you'll be ready for the exams when the time comes. She also has things called 'Clickers' and uses them to give you participation points. FREE POINTS FOR SHOWING UP!

One of the best prof I had. She's very well organized. Made boring and hard topics interesting and understandable.

Lectures are organized very clear in what you are expected to learn. Overviews are posted in Canvas, that help you study for the tests. To prepare for exams, also review iclicker problems, examples in class, and hw problems. One problems is that she tends to over analyze simple ideas while more complexed ones are just mentioned. STUDY HARD!!!

Honestly, everyone who gave her bad reviews are all lazy. Her pretests literally cover the exams but y'all just don't try on it. Exams are easy. Her lectures are concept based because her homework teaches us the math. Y'all just don't do it. There's not enough time in the semester for her to teach everything. She's fair, always replies to emails.

Her lectures are kept very brief since 50min isn't enough time to cover things in detail, but that's what the modules & book are for. There's a lot of homework, but it's easy points if you actually do them. She's a very easy-going prof that is easy to talk to. The book isn't really required-- I never opened it and was still able to pass the class.

The class was asynchronous and most of the lecture time was used for group discussions. Depending on your mates, you might have a good time or a bad time. Lecture is mostly her going through the module and sending you into breakout rooms to learn the module together. Great conversations with this professor during officer hours and genuinely cares.

Chem 1A is probably one of the toughest courses in college, but Dr. Kelly made it a much easier and less stressful class. She's the only teacher that doesn't give midterms, but there's a lot of homework and it's really easy to fall behind. It's really important to pay attention in lectures because she tells you everything you're expected to know.

Professor Kelly is very good at making demonstrations and going the extra mile during office hours to ensure that you understand the material. There is a lot of group work in this class, so communicate with your group if you aren't there because you will be docked points. Overall she is a good professor, but be prepared to put in the work.

Dr. Kelly is a fascinating individual, although she comes with a few caveats. Her teaching style, while subpar, is a good catalyst for student learning. YOU have to put the work in, she guides you along.

Chem 1A can be hard if you're lazy and miss class, but if you show up, study for tests and quizzes, and attend her office hours whenever you don't completely understand a topic, you'll do great. She does a great job of helping you get a fundamental understanding over any topic. She offers quiz retakes, so you don't really have an excuse if you fail
