Reviews of professor Kelsey Lyda

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Kelsey is a fun and high-energy teacher. She talks a lot with her students and seems to actually care about them individually. However she is strict and wont make exceptions or extend deadlines, but is very fair and logical. Kelsey was probably my favorite instructor last year because one can relate to her on a personal level.

Lyda makes class incredibly comfortable. Super down to earth and definitely cares about her students' mental health. She honestly seems like someone I'd be friends with if I'd met her outside of class. As long as you do your work, you'll pass. Guaranteed group work.

Kelsey is awesome. Before covid I was having a really hard time dealing with some personal problems and missed a lot of class and an exam. She reached out to me and let me make it up. I don't think I would still be at YSU if not for her.

She is a fairly lenient grader and is willing to admit when she makes a mistake. She is very good at lecturing.

A very personable person who knows her stuff. She gives great feedback and makes class enjoyable.

Kelsey is amazing. Wouldn't take a class with anyone else if I had the choice. Yeah she's a bit strict on deadlines and attendance. But just show up to class and stay on top of assignments and you will do great. She's also a real person. Just talk to her and you will be fine.

She is very nice but she doesn't work with students. Basically mostly "teach yourself" professor. So yeah, she is kind of blah professor.

Kelsey is a decent prof. She has said herself that she's not the best prof but is an enthusiastic one. Homework for each ch. and then a few exams. A lot of the exam points are in the problem statement so they're freebies. She's willing to give back missed exam points if you argue for them. Ask for help if necessary and study what she tells you
