Reviews of professor Kelley Doll

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You can tell she means well and really wants her students to understand/care about the material. Exams and reading quizzes weren't that hard but the two writing assignments she assigned were difficult with not very much lenience on grading. Overall though, Prof Doll was a very understanding teacher and clearly knows what she's talking about.

Super long paper and project with some other easy stuff. I always got the vibe that she was super condescending and would always talk about something about her PHD and like nobody cared. Her feedback is so vague, she didnt even grade our final 10 page paper in time for grades to be submitted so that blows.

The class had quizzes, a paper, and a multi-part assignment. Professor Doll was pretty specific about what she wanted for the paper but was responsive to the questions I asked her. You have to read the book carefully but other than that I found Doll to be understanding and easily accessible. Do the readings and you'll be fine.

Maybe it was because of the pandemic, but Professor Doll would constantly be late to upload course material and the syllabus due dates got moved around all semester and takes forever to grade everything and is an unnecessarily hard grader in top of that. I also found her to be rude in her feedback and then does not reply to emails.

She talks very quickly, but is always willing to repeat if someone asks. The participation checks are weird, but if you miss a few it won't tank your grade. When Coronavirus happened she became a harsher grader for a few weeks, but she is very understanding, and by the end of the semester everything was fine. Some assignments get repetitive.

I enjoyed having Professor Doll, it was all online this summer bc of COVID, but overall the course material was interesting, she was easy to reach via email and gave a few extra credit opportunities, which was nice. Also there was a fun project and I find Professor Doll, when issuing work, often gives the opportunity to be creative in assignments.

I took Doll for State Politics online and she was a decent professor. 6 quizzes, lowest dropped, a course paper and additional 3 part assignment. She was a bit picky on the paper but the additional assignment was easy and quizzes were reasonable. Uses a token system to allow students to make up assignments.

Kelley was a great professor. Even though it was a pretty big class she took the time to learn students names and was willing to work with you if you had a problem. Went through the slides a bit fast at times but was really good about slowing down when people asked and making sure we understood the information. Would definitely take again.
