Easily my favorite professor that I have taken a class from at UI. He is an amazing storyteller and uses a lot of real-life examples when teaching class content. There is only two exams, a final paper and a final exam. He is super understanding about student's mental health and observant of cold weather, so cancels class when necessary :)

Dr. Kelly is a good prof. Hes very laidback and assignments are easy if you just pay attention. I dont understand the huge fuss about him; hes just a good professor and the class itself isnt difficult.

This was taken during an online semester, so I like to think he went easy on us, but he only had 2 tests, and 1 major paper and I received a 96 or above on all 3 assignments. Really kind and funny guy and when I did show up to class, it was always a highlight of my day

Best professor I have ever had. He is really funny and extremely chill. If you talk to him about anything he can keep the convo going. Gives good feedback on specific questions too.

Easily the best professor at the UofI. Respects all his students and is really enjoyable to listen to. Class content is fairly easy and exams are all multiple choice. If you have to take this class take it with Professor Kelly. You will not regret it. Also, an amazing source to go to for help once you start needing recommendations.

A lot of people love him, I don't get the hype. I think he is a fine professor, but his lectures are monotone and for a two and a half hour class I was falling asleep in most of the classes.

Dr. Kelly was the first professor when I started at the University of Iowa. Him and I had similarities right off the back, and I found myself consistently going to his office hours. He was more than willing to write me any letters I needed, including to get into the Teacher Education Program.

Dr. Kelly is an amazing teacher. He cares about everyone of his students and he is so nice. If I ever needed anything I know I could count on him. He's super laid back but everything you learn in his class is valuable. If you can get him for Ed Psych I would. I am so lucky that I had him as a teacher. Fair grader. Study guides for tests provided.

He is a good professor. Just one thing is to take 60 questions exam in 50 minutes is a challenge.

Dr. Kelly is probably my favorite professor. His lectures are hilarious and interesting. He also tells a lot of stories that are applicable to the topic and they help teach the material. You do need to read in this class, but if you happen to forget you will also be fine. His classes should be an easy A.

Mitchell Kelly is easily one of the best teachers I've had. He is very inspirational and teaches well beyond the syllabus about real-life topics. Mitch has great stories and I enjoyed going to each and every one of his classes. Many of the teachers I had in high school took his classes in college as well- Everyone loves him.

Most relatable, funny, and caring professors I have had. I thought his tests were a little rough. I strongly advise you to do the extra credit, it goes farther than you think. Creates a great environment for a semi-early class.

Best professor I have had here. Really cares about your learning and you as a person. Very entertaining lectures and always has great stories. The class is not overly difficult, but it is easy to do well because he wants to be there as much as you. Highly recommend Ed Psych with him.

Dr. Kelly is an amazing prof. I had him for Educational Psychology and Measurement over the summer and he made learning fun and coming to class enjoyable. I am going to India to study abroad with him as my prof and I know it is gonna be amazing.

AMAZING teacher! Uses lots of personal stories that connect to the readings in the book. Know the terminology for tests but its ALL about knowing examples of what a term means and being able to identify them. If you just know definitions you won't pass the tests. Puts lecture slides online but stories & examples aren't on those so attend class.
