First test, half the students failed, she expected that. She tests mainly off of her lectures, so you need to go to class and write down what she says. The tests are difficult but she has papers required, just ask her how she wants them done and do it.

REALLY good teacher and really enjoyed the class. take good notes and you'll pull a B. if you want an A study very hard for the tests (can be fairly challenging) from your notes and you'll do fine. She does like to throw in 2-3 questions from vocab words that were not in the notes.

all these reviews are wrong. she is challenging but a VERY good teacher. I made a B+ on all of the tests and I am ending the semester with an A because extra credit adds 5 points to your average. If you study the notes she gives in class you can EASILY get a B. Bad reviewers prob. didnt' go to class

i was in this class also and whoever wrote the last comment was very rude...i have an A also. It's not that hard if you study, this is college. She says everything in class that is on the test except maybe 2 or 3 questions out of 60. Take good notes and you will make no lower than a B.

She's tough- she taught grad for a long time and still does, so doesnt have good grasp of what 100 level knowledge is. nonetheless, she is passionate and educated and you will know more than when you came in. People know she's tough, so if you come out with a B+ people will know you really earned it

knowledgable,but doesn't realize its only a 101 class and makes it alot harder than it needs to be...honestly though, go to class,actually pay attention and do the readings occasionally, and you will get at least a B easily (kids i know its the south, but it is college and sometimes theres' work)

this class was difficult for me to begin with, but the final had 120 questions from the previous tests, if you read the book and go to the lecture then you will do fine, she is very knowlegable in this subject, take her if you love psychology or if you want a challenge

If you come to class do some of the reading and pay attention/ ask questions in class you will do much better than those who dont. Tests ARE hard but she knows her stuff and youll come out knowing yours too. Ask Qs in class- youll learn more and shell help you- you earned the grade you made.

I thought she was a very helpful teacher. If you go to class and take notes you should be fine. Make sure to learn ALL of your notes for the test and read the Chapters. Not an easy class if you don't study. Finals was mostly from old tests which was very helpful.

this teacher was easy hell, i dont know what anyone was talking about. i got an A and im dumb as hell

Awesome teacher! I love how she uses examples and involves the class to further explain the material. She expects you to study hard, but I mean what do you expect? This is college! If you study, come to class, and pay attention you will do fine and have fun at the same time.

She is a great teacher. Her class is difficult but not so bad if you go.

she is extremely clear in her lectures and uses examples all the time to help the class understand. the tests are tough, but not bad if you study thoroughly. she answers emails very quickly and is very much helpful.

If you go to class, you'll do fine. She is laid back but the damn pre and posts tests that are to be done online are due every week, but ur only graded for getting them done so u can put any answer and get any grade. You must go to class, she hates when u miss fridays! SI sessions aren't that helpful if u go to class.

Pretty good teacher, wants you to understand material, sometimes goes into too much detail, tests are CRAZY, all essay, doesn't curve but did allow extra credit because of abyssmal first test grades...

Good class. Easy A/B if you put in about 15 minutes a week. Honestly the reviewer below must have had their brain removed if they studied for hours and still made a "C". Just do the MyPsychlab pre and post tests several times, take notes, and go to class and you will be fine. Very good teacher.

its not a hard class if you just put in a little effort. a lot of ppl never go to class then complain about their grade. just go to class, study a little and you will be fine. shes a good teacher who knows what shes talking about. offers extra credit. her final was too hard but she curved the grades so it was fine.

She is a great teacher. If you go to class on a regular basis you will pass. You should study outside of class. She know he material so make sure you listen. If you need any help she is there for you. I recommend this course to anyone who want to learn about this subject. If you are taking this course just for your major find another teacher.

professor kelly is extremely nice and is very easy to understand. make sure you do mypsych lab..she takes a lot of her test questions from there..she is tough, i'm not gonna lie. but you'll pass it if you give it your all. i studied my ass off and ended up with a C..and i'm a psych major. but i do know people who made a's and b's!! :) good luck!

She is a great teacher! I loved that class. It does require some effort, but the tests aren't so bad.

Dr. Kelly's GREAT! She explains everything very clearly, offers EC, & really wants her students to succeed. Go to class, take good notes, don't cram the night before an exam, & you'll be fine. I'm not a psyc major & I ended up with an A. Many students don't do well b/c they skip & don't study effectively. It's college... have some responsibility!!

She is easy, but is soo boring. This class is a requirement for Psyc majors, but except for the pop-quizzes, there's no reason to go. She puts all notes on blackboard, and there are no exams. Course was easy, but so boring.

i learned a lot from kelly. I missed about 4 classes but just got the notes from someone the next day. I missed one psyc lab, got the 5 pts e.c, got a 4.5-5 on the paper, and 90,74,70,82 on the tests and 76 on the final and still made an A. A very good lady who teaches you a lot about psychology.

I liked her class. Very smart and she tells good stories. The class information itself is hard but it is Psych, so.. She does a good job teaching for what it is. Talks about cocaine, alcohol and mice a lot. I would recommend her. Make sure to write the paper, do the MyPsych Labs and take notes and you should be money.

She is very interesting and tries to get everyone involved and she is a great teacher. Her test suck! They are really hard! STUDY ALOT!

Dr. Kelly is really interesting and obviously is really into psychology. The material can be hard but she really tries to make you understand and will answer any questions. She puts the notes on blackboard but you should still go to class because there is a lot of additional info. Her tests are really hard but if you study you can do well.

wouldn't recommend it. there are probably much easier professors out there. if you are a psych major though, she is probably your best bet.

Don't listen to these people. This class requires studying and everyone who's complaining about it being hard didn't feel like spending a little time studying. 3 tests (60 questions) and a final (not cummulative). no projects. Online tests help you study. You can use your book. East extra credit opportunities. She's brilliant and cool.

Not a hard class, you basically dont have to show up for the whole semester as long as you study hard for the tests. posts notes online so you dont have to take notes in class. i would recommend it just make sure you study hard for the tests (only 3 and she drops the lowest one)

This class is not a piece of cake, but it isnt exactly the most difficult thing I have ever done either. If you are willing to study a good 6-8 hours for a test then you will be fine. She is really nice and gets back to emails very quickly. I liked her a lot, if you are willing to put forth some effort take her.

The class material is not hard. Take good notes, study, go to class, and do all of the online homework and you should do fine.

Kelly is easy to understand. You need to go to the lectures, or you won't understand the class. She offers easy extra credit, which is very helpful. Do all the homework, it doesn't take long. Study for the tests, because they are a bit difficult. They are more abstract than you would think, so prepare wisely. Not a bad class, a bit difficult.

this class is not easy. a lot of studying! i studied more than 10 hours straight for every test and never made better than a C. her questions are very abstract and sometimes not covered in class so you have to read the book. the class average for every test is a low D...i think she should learn from this and change up her tests a little bit

As long as you take good notes you will be fine. She DOES curve tests and is willing to throw out bad questions. She is very helpful and nice. People who did bad apparently didn't pay attention

I had her last semester. The only people I ever heard complaining were complaining to their friends DURING class. I think that says something. Study before tests (there are 3), do online chapter tests (which are easy and you use your book), and show up to class (she does a great job of explaining everything. Not easy, but definitely manageable.

For a 101 class, you have to do so much work. You have to do these online labs for every chapter that she grades. VERY HARD TESTS. Does not take attendance, but you should go to understand better. I do not recommend her! Too hard.

Extremely hard tests. The book was terrible as well, impossible to understand. I retook Psych 101 and it was sooo much easier with a different professor

Interesting and great lectures, but extremely hard tests. Not an easy A but if you do try, you will pass. Overall, she's a pretty decent professor.

Professor Kelly is not a hard teacher. Yes, you do have to study for the test but that's college. Doing well on the psych labs can really boost your grade in the class, as long as you do good. However there relevance to the test isn't that good. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!! it can raise you a whole letter grade.

Definitely one of my more difficult profs, but if you go to class take notes and study a few hours for the tests you can get an A. 3 test throughout the year, lowest gets dropped and then the final is noncumulative, but you cant drop it. You can do some online surveys or psych experiments for up to 5 points on your final average. She's really nice.

If you go to all the lectures and take good notes she is a fairly easy teacher. There isn't a ton of homework and the questions on the tests are very similar to the ones on the homework.

I don't what everybody else is talking about. Yeah, the class is hard but if you go to class she literally gives you some of the questions on the test, especially Friday classes or the day before breaks when no one goes. The grades are bimodal, you either do really well or you fail. Sucks for you. I have an A and I just go to class and take notes.

Prof Kelly is easy to understand and lectures for the full class. Don't have to attend but if you don't you're screwing yourself out of a couple pages of much needed notes. Tests are difficult but not impossible if you really study. Five points extra credit available for your final grade

Not a bad class. Taking notes is a must as she covers a lot of material. Simply relying on the book will have you up all night reading. Final was much easier than any of the three tests and is worth 30% of grade. Every chapter has a test (very easy) online. Easiest 10% of any grade, ever.

Super helpful when asking her questions. take lots of notes on what she SAYS and NOT whats on the powerpoints. She emphasizes those on the tests. Powerpoints are more like outlines/guidelines. Go to SI sessions too. Those help alot.

Dr. Kelly is really nice but strict. MyPsychLabs are very important and must be finished on time. She posts her notes online, but I HIGHLY recommend attending class. Lessons she teaches in class are on the test and not in the notes. She have 5 points extra credit which is really nice. And her stories are entertaining.

She's pretty funny and interesting. She posts her slides online, but you have to attend class to know what she's talking about. Tests weren't bad at all. Keep up with MyPsychLabs, extra credits & the reading and you'll def make an A.

She is so mean. Will be extremely rude to you. I came into this class looking forward to learning, and I expected an easier workload since it is a 101 level class. I spent over 8 hours a week getting a B in the class. The tests are impossible, and she is extremely unhelpful. DO NOT TAKE HER. Attendance is mandatory and she makes a seating chart.

Great teacher, but you do have to put the time in to study and really learn the material. She also goes over the types of questions that might be on the test. Very clear when she talks over the material and puts the powerpoints on blackboard a few weeks ahead of time.

It's a large class that is based off of powerpoint lectures. She talks the whole time, but does put the lectures online for review. Expect to read the textbook too. Problem is, you think you know the material and then you get the test. The questions are worded to confuse you. Possible 60 essay questions, chooses 3. Study, study, study.

Dr. Kelly is a great psychology teacher, but be prepared to work to actually earn your grade. It is not impossible to pass this class if you actually study and take the time to learn the material. She relates the material to actual life situations and makes the material interesting. If you go to all of her lectures and pay attention you will pass.

One of the hardest courses I've had. But if was so interesting!! The content made it worth it. Record her lectures or else you'll miss A TON (seriously, do it). And she never makes you feel stupid for asking questions.
