Reviews of professor Shannon Kelleher

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took this class as an elective and I find it harder than all of my other classes. We are only graded on tests and the one project. She said no extra credit from the beginning but all of a sudden started giving us extra credit options. You also better know your stuff before each exam because her tests are nearly impossible to pass.

I took Biomarkers with Dr. Kelleher and she was great. This course is very participation/discussion heavy and is similar to a journal club. She assigns a weekly journal article to read and answer questions about before class. Each class she lectures the first half and then we discuss the journal and do activities. No exams just paper/presentation.

Class wasn't too difficult but it's very easy to lose points in her class. She takes 10% off every day that you're late for the reflection paper, no excuses. Quizzes are timed, no makeup quizzes, but she does drop the lowest one.

I was expecting human nutrition to be a good amount of studying but fairly easy, but prof Kelleher made it almost impossible. It seemed far too difficult for a lower level class. You are only graded on a few tests and one project. She does not give homework, which I thought was good but prob would have helped my grade.

Professor Kelleher is a nice lady, but not a good professor. She goes through the lectures very quickly even though the material is difficult. She spends a lot of time on the material that does not matter and tests on the smallest details. She is not available for help outside of class which makes it extremely difficult to improve.

She is by far the worst professor I've had at UML. She is wicked rude and she is too stubborn to listen to feedback from students. Her exams are difficult. There is no textbook for her class and I swear she makes up her own information to sound valid but she has no idea what she is talking about. Avoid taking a class with her at all costs
