Keely rocks! Hard teachers make u learn, if u wanna learn, take her

Yes I agree that this is a tough class...HELLO, YOU ARE IN COLLEGE & the teachers are not there to hold your hand & ease you through the class. She is fast paced but truly the best math teacher I've ever had, always has a smile & is glad to explain problems. Sorry the others could not keep up!

Took the onlilne class and found it fairly challenging, but math has never been my forte. Keely was very helpful and attentive on the message boards and I felt she explained things well in her written lectures. I struggled at first but worked my butt off studying and managed an A in the end.

Sally is great teacher; she went above and beyond. If you are looking for an easy A, then this class is not for you, but if you want to learn and have a teacher who really cares, then take this class.

I am not a fan of online math classes and was roped into taking this one. I did not like the class but I did the work and got through it. If you are into online classes this is the best-organized online class I have ever taken, otherwise stay with the traditional class. Make sure you post each week for maximum points it could save you at the end.

I took her on line class and some of the material is confusing but she generously rewards hard work. Her on line class is very organized and was a good experience for my first on line class. I've never met her in person but she seems like a very nice lady.

Professor Keely herself seems to be very nice. She's very encouraging and positive. It is through no fault of hers that I hated this class. I love math, but taking math online is an exercise in frustration. Perhaps online classes work for some disciplines, but I don't believe math is one of them.

Good Teacher

I have had Sally for 3 classes now and now that I'm done with math I will actually miss it. I have enjoyed her as a teacher. She's very helpful and exteremly kind. She defines what it means to be a great teacher!

Wonderful teacher. Very helpful. I took the online class and it was great.

I've taken 3 online math classes at Clark, with 3 different teachers. Sally was clearly the best. Participation is important in her classes.

(Online) Professor Keely is a wonderful teacher! I love that she gives the students a chance to respond to questions before answering them herself, it seems to solidify what I've learned! She posts every day with tips and hints on making the day's lesson easier to learn. I will definitely return to her 095 and beyond!

Sally is a great teacher, but if you take her class online, participation is really important. You will fail the class if you don't post at least 3 times a week. That can be difficult at times.

5 week condensed summer term class was perfect for me. Prof. Keely provided a TON of support and feedback on how I was doing, giving me guidance on what I was/was not "getting". Loved the two chances for every quiz format. Class got me excited about taking future math classes. Strongly recommend Prof. Keely!

I took Sally two quarters in a row on-line 090 and 095 she was great. She is always on-top of everything, and always available she replies to post all the time she is very helpful. GREAT ON-LINE TEACHER!

Great teacher. Responds quickly to emails. But requires WAY to much discussion board posts!

Too much emphasis on getting in minimum # of forum posts every week for participation points. Grade should be weighted more toward quiz/test scores. No homework but 90% of participation points come from posting homework problems. Quizzes are weekly, open-note and timed and so is the final.

One of the best Math teachers you can have. She teaches you everything you need to know. Very helpful! Allot of the class is on the boards, which some might not like but if you make an effort she'll still give you credit. Her class gives you many test which makes ones you do horrible on not so bad. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling.

Sally is one of the BEST math teachers I have ever had! I have struggled with math my whole life, but since taking her classes, I am finally do well! I would be lost without the help we get on the discussion board! Her enthusiasm for the subject helps relate the material in a way that is understandable and fun.

Sally was very helpful with all of my questions. The class is intensive as far as online posts, but I did find that without those posts I would NOT have done well. She does a good job of relating the material to everyday problems.

I was very intimidated by the idea of calculus, not having been a natural at math. However, Sally's style of teaching, applying the concepts to real world problems, made the material much easier to grasp. She was always willing to go the extra step in explaining the steps and concepts. She is a great math teacher!

Sally is great! She is always there when you need help and never critizes you for not understanding, her online math classes are amazing!One of Clark's best!

Sally is a fantastic teacher! Her enthusiasm for the subject and dedication to seeing her students succeed makes the class enjoyable. She will go the extra mile to make sure the students understand the material, and is incredibly supportive about answering student's questions. One of the BEST math teachers I have had at Clark!

Sally made taking on a subject that I have always struggled with seem less daunting. If I had a question, she never let it go unanswered. If I still didn't understand she would work with me until I did. She is very supportive of her students!

Awesome, interactive teacher online! Discussion boards were very useful and Sally had a knack for getting us to all work together. I learned as much from my classmates as our teacher because of this. No homework "due", but helpful to complete. Weekly quizzes. Really stretches your brain wiht lots of new equations introduced and not covered in 091.

Professor Keely not only has a passion for the material she teaches, but she really wants her students to succeed. She can tell the difference between someone who is trying, and who isn't, and if you are the first variety, you will be rewarded. Work hard and prepare to learn a lot to prepare you for your next math course.

This class has 10 quizzes(two lowest scores dropped), Discussion board posts, and a final exam. The quizzes and final come straight from the homework (which is plentiful but optional). As for the discussion boards, guys really-I am terrible at math and they were a piece of cake! I had twice as much group work in my trig class. Thanks prof. Keely

Prof. Keely is GREAT! Super helpful and support. VERY active on the discussion boards. I learned SO much more than I ever have in a math class and I had fun too.

Honestly, these were the first math classes I've taken that sparked a genuine interest in the subject. The discussion boards are vital to success, but if you read the chapters and her lecture notes, you'll be fine. She's also very open to answering questions via e-mail and is almost always available. Would have loved to take more classes from her.

This professor is amazing She really makes sure you know the material, lots of explanation, she is truly involved and cares If you put the work in do the weekly study guides and take notes you will pass the quizzes. The discussions are a must to pass, but are are extremely helpful You get two tries per quiz if you give your self enough time.

She teaches math and not only that but online math which might throw some people off. If you have experienced online classes before and have a timely schedule that can fit in extensive participation and timed quizzes, this might be a good choice for you. It worked for me but it does not work for everyone please consider carefully.

I really enjoyed Sally! I took her for 3 quarters and It was easy peasy. Make sure you understand how to post in the discussion boards "her way", and do the quizzes and you'll be fine. If you have a high enough grade in the class all quarter she'll even exempt you from having to take the final! I definitely recommend her.

Weekly quiz, No exams (except final), participation points are easy freebies. Any three days a week you need a combined 4 posts to post online, hint(11:58pm Monday, and 12:05am Tue two days!) I'm a C student for Calc and I got an A-. Two attempts per quiz, take one, review the material, try again and keep the better grade. Text Book NEEDED!

Participation on the discussion board is a must, there are plenty of opportunities to participate. If you don't find something interesting to comment on, try one of the worksheet problems. Even if you don't get it right, you'll still get credit for the post, and the opportunity to get input from others. Two chances at quizzes help with test anxiety

I took Prof. Keely's online course this Summer and it was fantastic. Even though this was my first online class, and it was mathematics, I still prevailed. It is an online course so it demands a level of self-discipline, but it is maths. As long as you use the wonderful resources provided, you will surely pass. Obviously, I am not an English major.

Awesome teacher, by far the best math instructor I have had at Clark. She is extremely nice and helpful, her expectations are clear and would definitely take her class again, or recommend to another student!

The class its self is tough, but she gives space for errors and will omit your lowest weekly participation grade and your two lowest quiz grades. Also, just a heads up, there is one automatic A quiz, so she really wants you to pass by giving you so many chances! She also has online office hours so you can get help when you need it.

This class is not on Canvas like my other math classes had been, and hers looks like it's from the 90's. No homework, but discussions hold so much weight so be sure to participate. There's a quiz every week on MML. Each discussion has to be 75+ words and can be tricky if you don't understand the material very well. Ask for help if you need it!

Just make sure you keep up on everything and read what's expected of you each week and the class should go smoothly for you.

I took professor Keely's Mth 89 over the summer (Online) and she was great! Best math instructor I've had. canvas is not used so, the website takes getting used to but she is pretty laid back the first week. As usual online classes require participation and involvement. I found her extremely helpful and caring and the material was clearly laid out

Very understanding and helpful. Weekly participation on discussion boards, quizzes, and a final exam. No homework. Tests are pretty difficult compared to what's learned in the textbook. Drops lowest quiz score and discussion board score. Two attempts for each quiz. Replies to emails very quickly.

Prof. Keely is an amazing instructor. She has an organized online teaching strategy like weekly discussions, posts and quizzes with strict deadlines. No homework and no assignments but you have to do your own work diligently in order to get a good grade. Always helpful, approachable, encouraging and motivating. Highly Recommend!

Grading criteria is laid out and as long as you participate in the weekly work, you'll be able to get a good grade out of the class.

She really cares for her students. Definitely would take another class from her!

I took MATH152 online with Professor Keely. There is a weekly online exam (there are no answers onlineunderstand the material!) and 4 forum posts every week that have to follow guidelines. PLEASE search for "Prof Keely MathOL" to find important info!!! Your lowest week of posts' score and lowest test score are dropped, AND one test is a free 100%!

Ive attended 3 of Professor Keelys online math classes. I think with the level of difficulty of the material, it would be really easy to blame the Prof. for any shortcomings in synthesizing it. But here that can simply not be the case, as Professor Keely is always on her game,ever present with an encouraging explanation & motivation to succeed

She provided a lot of online resources to learn content and was always available for help. She uses MyLab which includes an online textbook, a study plan with practice problems. Graded on one quiz every week with two chances, the study plan in MyLab and a final. Would recommend if you're fine with teaching yourself content and independent work.

Prof Keely is awesome. You have a study plan that you work on through the whole course, but you only need to complete 80% for full credit. You have weekly quizzes but you get two attempts and she drops the lowest 3. Overall there for you if you need help and genuinely wants everyone to succeed. Calc is a difficult course in general tho.

10/10. It is calculus so be ready to have hard problems. Some lessons took longer than others. You have homework each week but only need 80% of it done by end of quarter to get full points. Quizzes every week HW helps prepare for, but she drops your lowest 3. Always was great with questions. Really do take her!

I took an online course from Prof. Keely. She doesn't determine your grade; the online textbook program does. In her class, you will spend 99% of your time on Pearson solving problems, mastering concepts, and taking quizzes/exams. Otherwise, Prof. Keely never hesitates to answer questions, help you grasp a concept, and make grading info clear.

As others have stated, her online classes are very self paced with little in the way of lectures or micro management of any kind. Fair grading with a heavy weighting towards tests. Overall Sally was a really nice professor, and I've signed up to take my next math course with her as the professor again.

This was my first online math course, and I don't think anyone who struggles with math should take an online math course. I was weak in algebra, and it showed up multiple times in the course. I missed points for simple algebra stuff. Her website is helpful, but it takes a lot of clicking to find what you want. Tests are similar to homework.

This class is 100% online and very hands off. Prof. Keely has a Q/A discussion board which is the only way to interact with her outside of emails. Overall this class was pretty easy as long as you are self motivated and don't let your work pile up. The grading criteria is very forgiving and a lot of test questions are from the HW so do the HW.

Professor Keely's 090 class was difficult. There is lots of homework assignments and if you don't mange to complete your assignments on time it will greatly affect your grade. Be sure to give yourself enough time for this class. Does not accept any late work.

I took Calc 3 with her online in the summer, the workload is not heavy at all, the concepts are a little difficult sometimes but with the resources she provides, the course goes by smoothly. The final exam was very easy-going, short, and she was very merciful and not strict with the questions.
