Reviews of professor Kelly Rickey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Really nice professor, tries to make the smoothest experience for students, but I never felt like our learning suffered because of it. Very clear with expectations and homework, made the class enjoyable and a bit easy.

Prof. Rickey's lectures are structured around example problems worked out by hand, making it easy to follow along. Even when I have trouble focusing, I'm STILL prepared for the homework. By some grace of her teaching, information will filter into your brain regardless of whether you pay attention or not. Would definitely recommend!

My favorite professor by far. I am really going to miss her class. It was really hard tbh but she explained everything so well and she's also very kind and helpful in office hours. I wish she'd teach Fluids II.

Rickey is one of the most caring and sweet professors I've ever had. It makes the world of a difference to have an instructor who genuinely cares about you and your success as a student.

This is my 4th time taking a class with professor Rickey (both entry-level classes and higher level) and I would gladly take more. Always super caring about students' success and very accessible outside of class. Heat transfer is a hard class but she does a good job of simplifying the class as much as possible. Highly recommend any class with her.

Heat transfer is hard. Prof Rickey does a good job of making it as easy as she can (still hard). She's available outside of class, and is generally helpful. Class attendance is essentially mandatory between the gaps on the posted slides and the pop quizzes in class.

Cares a TON about her students succeeding. The only problem is she co-teaches this class with Greg Jackson. He creates coding assignments that she and the TAs can't even understand with the answer keys. Take this class with her because she does everything she can to get you out of this class (that you probably won't use) with a good grade.

Dr. Rickey did an amazing job teaching heat transfer in the summer. She provided a handful of extra credit assignments. She had a lot of office hours and answered all questions. Heat transfer is a tough class but if you take it with her and put in the time, you should earn a good grade.

She is very caring and always does her best to be helpful and accommodating. She does a good job with providing a lot of examples in lectures, and she's always available for good feedback in office hours. Homework fits the course well and is straightforward and fair. All the info taught in the class felt relevant.
