Comment:

Dr. McKelvey is one of my favorite professors at Aquinas! Ive taken a few classes with him and hes probably one of the smartest people Ive met. Its really important to pay attention to his lectures and take lots of notes. His tests are pretty difficult but he curves them frequently. Would definitely take more of his biology classes.

Hes a nice guy and is understanding, but he doesnt put much information on the slides. So I would recommend recording his lectures and going back and listening to it.

My absolute favorite class. He is a genius and I look up to him. Sure his tests are hard, but you really have to work for your grade and you become proud of the work you accomplish in his class.

All the classes he teaches are fairly hard subjects to learn. That being said, he effectively communicates the material in the easiest way to understand.

McKelvey is a very nice professor, he answers questions and fully explains the material. That being said, Zoology is the hardest class I have ever taken. I had never gotten test anxiety before this class. The exams are extremely difficult and the amount of information to memorize is overbearing.

I love McKelvey. I've had him for a couple different classes, and I've really enjoyed every one. He is by no means an easy A. He really makes you work for the grade but in the end, you seriously understand the material. He's super passionate about his subject and has a great understanding of what he's presenting.

He is a great prof and really passionate about what he teaches. But I have termed tough exams "McKelvey exams" after him.

McKelvey is a wonderful professor. I'm so glad he is the main professor for biology. If you ever need help he's always there and he loves to help you. I just love his jokes in class. He makes learning fun.

McKelvey is the best teacher I have ever had. He is the nicest guy and will explain something in as many ways as he can so you will understand. He is always in his office so questions are available almost any time of the day. His test are quite difficult if you want an A, you must study weekly and go to class!

He is a human encyclopedia. Very helpful and makes class interesting. His class was my absolute favorite this semester! However his tests are pretty specific and you need to know EVERYTHING in your notes.

Smartest man I've ever met! Class is very hard, and only used the book to clarify definitions sometimes. STUDY LECTURE NOTES AND ATTEND REVIEW SESSIONS! tests are hard but are right out of the notes. Always there to help, as he'll tell you he has no life! Very nice and understanding as well.

Any of my questions with regard to clinical application could not be clearly answered. Excellent material in this class but delivered more strictly in a text book sense.

Dr.m is awsome! I failed his class but it's not his fault it's mine. If you take any of his classes be prepared to study alot or be prepared to fail. I think that he actually feels bad for students who don't do well but he knows he can't make exceptions.
