Reviews of professor William Kelly

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I came into biochem severely underestimating the difficulty of the class. I had heard really great things about Dr. Kelly but if you want an easy-A avoid him. We had at least 1 quiz every week (sometimes 2) and 3 midterms (no final). This class is extremely lecture-heavy. So glad it's over.

Be very careful with Kelly. On his HW sets, answers are just factually wrong, and his explanations are not grounded in reality.

Dr. Kelly is a very good biochem professor. He helps connect the many concepts to each other in a way that makes sense. His class is graded on a few quizzes, 3 midterms, and a final, so there is little room for error. This class will teach just about everything asked on the MCAT regarding biochem.

Dr. Kelly's class was more difficult for me than I expected going in. Very test and quiz heavy but I think he curved. Slides are not super helpful so when reviewing for tests be sure to make a study guide and rewatch lectures. Mostly memorization of the basics but make sure to understand how to manipulate processes and cycles (he loves regulation!)

Dr. Kelly is a GREAT instructor and resource! Definitely the best choice for biochem available at Emory University. He teaches you to truly conceptually understand cell metabolism which is important fundamental knowledge for any research. He makes the MCAT biochem material a breeze.

Dr. Kelly is AMAZING! Be warned that this is not an easy A, but if you study concepts and know what he tells you to know, you will be fine. He prepares you incredibly well for the MCAT so that is good. Lectures are dense and you have to rewatch them to understand content.

Dr. Kelly was not a bad professor by any means, but I found his class to every dry and the support over the course of the semester greatly diminished. He seemed he stopped really caring a little before the second exam.

Anyone considering who to take for Biochem in terms of MCAT needs to stop and take Kelly. My favorite professor at Emory and an amazing guy. Im studying for the mcat rn but I haven't looked at biochem material at all because we learned it so well in class. You need to put in work by rewatching the echos and memorizing details
