Reviews of professor Michael Kelly

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Kelly is awe-inspiring with all he has accomplished and yet, super down to earth. He breaks down the cases which can be long and confusing and makes them so u will understand them. He goes over everything you need to know on the exam. No tricks at all. He is the best. Definitely take him. One of the bes at UM.

Like another person said this class is not for the faint of heart. I took it to fill the general education Liberal Arts requirement. Professor Kelly gives TONS of readings that are extensive. He will comment on your assignment submission that you did a great job only to give you 3/4 of the available points for said assignment. I found it confusing.

I didn't get to see every part of prof Kelly due to the class being online and asynchronous but overall a good professor who pushes you to do your best and will not accept under developed or unfinished work. He grades pretty hard in my opinion but he deeply care about what he teaches and it's interesting. flexible prof!!

Professor Kelly is an amazing professor. Professor Kelly manages the perfect balance between keeping students accountable and allowing some slack as long as he can tell you're really trying. If you get all of the assignments done you'll get a solid B or A. Professor Kelly is amazing and will push you not only as a writer but also as a learner.

Kelley is an amazing professor. He simplifies cases with ease and he doesn't hide the ball. He tells you what you need to know for practical, real-world application and what you need to know for his exam. If you are consistently prepared for class, he'll call on you more often. But, he doesn't often cold call. A+ professor; we need more like him.

I've taken a few classes with Dr. Kelly - Ancient Philosophy, Social Practice Art, and Black Aesthetics. He provides the readings from a variety of authors. There's weekly writing assignments (a paragraph showing you read the material) and 3-4 papers. Great prof, usually does pizza or donuts at the end of the semester

I decided to take Ancient Philosophy last minute - Dr. Kelly focuses on being able understand the readings and articulate an argument, and is always willing to discuss different parts of the readings.

Think long and hard about taking this class if you aren't a Philosophy major. I took 1102 to fulfill a gen ed writing intensive and it is honestly one of the hardest classes I've ever taken. Kelly gives you tons of readings that you are required to write extensively on. He gives confusing feedback too. This class is not for the faint at heart.
