Reviews of professor Patrick Kelly

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
As mentioned before, he is a stickler for APA format. He docked several points off of my first assignment for formatting errors, but he showed exactly what was wrong and why he docked the points. Use that as a guide moving forward to make sure the rest of your assignments are formatted properly, and you shouldn't have any issues.

Do not take any class taught by this professor! I withdrew from this class after the second assignment which he failed me on.  I had a phone conference call with him in a last ditch effort to work out what was going on. He made negative comments about the other professors at CSU and deliberately gives poor grades to make students suffer. Fire him!

Prof. Kelly definitely isn't the most social professor, and you can kinda tell he's there for the grants. However, he does want all his students to pass so he offers multiple ec opportunities. The class itself is only graded on how you do in the labs, 3 midterms, and the final. If you take this course, be prepared to go over a lot on your own time

The most awkward teacher I've ever had. Lectures are hard to follow. He is a nice guy though.

Basically no due dates, still learned a ton. Really cares about the students

Patrick Kelly or PK is super nice! I really liked his class. We had fun making up our own experiments and presenting them. midterms and final are easy, however, I have no idea what we were supposed to learn science wise in this class.

I just finished up my ninth class at CSU and Kelly was by far the worst professor I've had. He cares about nothing but APA formatting and will take points from you if it's not perfect. His feedback is not helpful at all. I earned an A only because I forced myself to become an APA formatting expert. Avoid him at all costs.

He's kind-spirited but he's extremely awkward and socially inept. Realizes his lectures are long and boring and thus attempts to awkwardly get the class involved. Poor speaker, as he doesn't articulate his ideas well. Exams are fairly difficult (avg. is around 50%-60%) and the study guides are unrepresentative of the materials tested. ONLY TAKE P/F

Creates a negative learning atmosphere, does not give any positive feedback even when giving a high grade. He chooses to make only negative comments. Tough grader that does not keep to the rubric guide. Teaches a fire course but appears to want to be an English Composition Professor. Chose a different professor if possible.

I hate math but I really enjoyed this class. Professor Kelly is super nice and really went the extra mile to make sure his students learn. Material was difficult but doing well in the class wasn't.
