Reviews of professor Robert Kelly

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Lectures are not helpful. Daily in class quizzes worth 20% of grade. TA was very generous with grading. Homework requires heavy textbook use. Curves up final grades. Very nice if you speak to him outside of class. Homework and tests are difficult.

Dr. Kelly was not the main professor of the lab, but Protein Purification was a fun class. The lectures were the basic principles of FPLC (liquid chromatography). The labs took a long time. The hardest part of the lab was the specific activity assays. Lab reports were quite strict, but the TAs gave a clear rubric. There is a final exam.

Weird class. No use of attending it since you won't get anything out of it. Notes are useless and abstract, and the book is not that great.

Prof. Kelly is very knowledgeable and friendly. Speakers were great! He is a great resource if you're interested in sales/marketing careers. Class is only graded by written cases, participation, project and take home exam. Class lectures were recorded and put online. Make sure to do the cases earlier than later, since he allows re-writes! Awesome!
