Comment:
I took the online class. This class was interesting and fairly easy. The online quizzes are pretty easy and the discussion questions were not bad either. There was a project that required a decent amount of research and time but other than that its an easy A or B. Lots of points which is always helpful.

I wasn't looking forward to taking this as a summer class, but she made it very easy. I even took this as a SWS class and the papers were quick to write with minimal requirements. She picks out the main points in history really well and explains their sig. clearly. There were no gray areas in this class and it went by fast.

Kelleher is a wonderful teacher and a great person. Take Honors eurociv with them, you will not regret it. It's a lot of work, but so much fun. Learning history with Kelleher has never been so interesting, it's like she's telling her life story and every class is a new chapter. Very interesting and I don't like history. Take her.

Amazing Professor and woman. She is one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet, and she'll go out of her way to answer your questions. She really wants the class to succeed, and gives you the materials to do so. She is very quick with her e-mail responses, and has a great sense of humor, too!

Oh Fran. She's a tough, intelligent professor. She knows history like the back of her hand and can tell you some really interesting stories, but she also loves to challenge her students. Make sure you take diligent notes because this is not an easy class. Class is comprised of 3 papers, a midterm, and a final.

Prof. Kelleher is awesome! She really cares about her students, and is always willing to help you if you just ask. She loves what she does, and knows a ton. If you are going to take one history class at GVSU, make sure it's with her.

She definitely knows a lot about history. She gives great, almost gossipy details about historical figures that make it more interesting. Sometimes I feel like she is a little long-winded though. She is pretty helpful with papers, although she is tough. Exams are not too hard, just make sure you study thoroughly.

Comment:
Prof. Kelleher does a general overview of history that points out chosen important historical events. She gave study guides for tests, and the tests were in short answer format...make sure to know who, what, where, when, and why about certain terms, people, or events that she covers. The papers are not hard, and she's flexible with due dates.

Great person and teacher. Good sense of humor, and manages to keep history interesting. She grades her exams and papers fairly; good work will result in a good grade and vise versa. I would gladly take another of her courses.

Comment:
One of the worst professors I have ever had. She does not care about her students... she has no sympathy for anybody, and thinks that her class should be all that you care about. Her paper assignments make no sense. I sent a paper in to her early so she could review it for me, changed everything the said to change, and still got a D. I hate her.

I loved this prof. Her lectures were interesting, she was helpful on papers (send her your drafts, because she does grade papers tough), but tests are easy if you attend class and use the study guides. I would recommend her to everyone!

The worst prof. I have ever had. She was convinced that I plagerized my first paper, when in fact I did not. Before this class I never got worse than a C+ on a paper, she gave me two Ds. I've never despised a prof. more than Fran.

She is great. Her lectures are some of the best I have ever had. She is understanding of student difficulties and will work with you. Write drafts and send them to her. Exams are fairly easy if you know what your doing. Keep up with study guides as soon as they come out. Great Class.
