Reviews of professor Kelly Patterson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you have to take in-depth you have to take it with Kelly. Hands down the most caring prof in J-school at Carleton. She cares a lot about her students and good journalism, and isn't afraid to push you to be better. Amazing class.

Inspirational professor. Course was graded off of 4 papers, 2 of which are due prior to the beginning of the course. Both papers, Kelly graded fairly. Its a leadership course, so just use the course concepts and apply them directly to your past experiences and talk about how you are going to use them in the future. First course you take as a MBA.

Kelly is good at what she does and strives for her students to succeed. She always made time to talk about my feature story if I needed help and often would send me emails with potential sources. Overall just a super sweet lady who tries her best to help students!

Super kind and caring prof, and she really takes the time to give good feedback on assignments. Very flexible on deadlines as long as you ask in advance and if she notices that the class is very busy. Responds to emails quickly and is accessible even on the weekends. If you're nervous about your assignments, she'll be there to support you!

Kelly provides phenomenal feedback for in-depth stories. She makes sure I know exactly what I need to do to improve my writing, but she always respects my original ideas and angles. Lectures include a lot of in-class exercises that improve my understanding of the course content. I would absolutely take another class taught by Kelly.
