Reviews of professor Brian Skelly

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Skelly is very understanding and caring. He wants everyone to do well, and gives plenty of opportunity for you to earn a good grade. As others said, he talks a lot and sometimes goes off topic, but he is very available outside of class.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Means well. Talks only about his opinions. No class engagement. Abundance of essays due at the start of the course. Monotone, and biased lectures. Take if you want a class to sit through. Don't if you want to learn, and be engaged.

Funny guy in class, assigns a lot of homework but no enforced due dates, as long as it all gets done. He allows rewrites on any assignment and is happy to work with you. Textbook is necessary.

Skelly is a really nice guy but he just isn't that great at teaching. Never goes over the assignments, you can rewrite essays but he takes awhile to grade them. For class he just talks endlessly and frequently gets off topic, he's always willing to help you with writing the essays but never answers his email. He's a good guy just not a good teacher

Skelly isn't a bad professor, but his classes feel very awkward. His lectures aren't engaging, he talks about unrelated stuff during them, and a vast majority of homework assignments don't really relate to the material discussed in class. Not a hard professor or class but kind of a tedious one in the end.
