I highly recommend taking this teacher. He teaches the material so well and his lessons are very organized. He gives extra time on quizzes if he knows the class is struggling. Attendance is mandatory and he does not like slackers. Stay on top of the material, show up and participate, and you will earn a fair grade.

Maybe because it is Calculus 1, but the whole class struggled, (besides the few students who have seen the material in prior courses). He did, however, give a large amount of extra credit, his version of a curve. His tests were very hard and his review would be to go over every problem on the syllabus. He is not an easy A or B but he is fair.

Really nice guy and genuinely cares about his students. Don't miss class. Explains things very well, but often get confused while doing work on the board. When that happens, he sends emails explaining the topic, but it's hard to learn from emails. He really prepares you for exams. sends lots of practice problems and helpful info before exams.

He'll give you extra credit on commons based on quiz performance. He is an old head doesn't like phones, kicked me out for phone use. Quizzes are easy, teaches kinda well better than other professors but he still thinks were in the 1960s. Definitly has Alzheimers he'll forget a bunch and make silly mistakes.

Prof Kelly is a nice guy who cares about his students. Quizzes are easy and will give extra credits that help on the common exams. he just makes a lot of mistakes sometimes. He is very strict about using phones during lectures. Other than that, he is great and calc #3 is not hard at all compared to #2, make SURE to attend all classes :)

Doesnt allow phones bc he wants you to pay attention in class and learn. Most of the people that dont like the phone rule are just disrespectful (grow up!) Attendance mandatory. Take notes and pay attention. Hes old and makes mistakes but its okay. Commons are hard but manageable. Gives extra credit on exams based on quiz performance. TAKE HIM!

I can see why he was rated well in the past bc he gives easy quizzes and extra points on exams, but he is not a good lecturer anymore. He would constantly make mistakes on the board and even PRACTICE EXAM ANSWER KEYS. He spent half the class on one problem because he would make many mistakes,so you were not adequately prepared for exam questions.

Gives easy quizzes with extra credit point. He sends a lot of helpful extra material via email. Yes, he does make a lot of mistakes on the board but as long as you have an idea of the concepts of math, you will be fine. He is very understanding and lenient with homework deadlines. I enjoyed this semester in his class a lot.

He gives weekly quizzes and will tell you what the topics may be the class before. He gives the class a break midway through class. He is incredibly lenient with the homework deadlines and provides extra credit on exams. Only problem is that he makes mistakes during lecture, but as long as you have an idea of what is going on you'll be fine.

Towards the end of the semester, his issues with memory and keeping up with his own notes inhibited my learning greatly. Most substance I got from this class was from Professor Leanord. He is a shell of what he used to be, he is not a good lecturer anymore. He is a good person but not a good professor. he spends a TON of time fixing his mistakes

Prof. Kelly wants all of his students to do well. Make sure you attend class to stay on his email list. He works hard to clear up any confusion from class with well put together information sheets via email. He does get lost within the lecture, so just be patient. His quizzes are easier than the commons. Take advantage of those points.

Tbh I would avoid this guy. Theres a lot of good reviews on him because he gives extra points on quizzes however he wastes a lot of time making mistakes during class, causing us to begin to fall behind compared to other sections. He tried to make up for it by sending us 50+ emails of notes. Final was harder bc there were problems we didnt practice.

This professor is the worst at NJIT for Math. He mumbles, picks favorites, and targets others all semester for small mistakes. Quizzes are awful, and he won't help improve grades. No Canvas updates, just tons of emails, even at 2 a.m. He's unfair, unprofessional, and inconsistent. Truly the worst ever.
