Comment:
I had the opportunity to take Dr Kelly's Finance course my last year of college. I loved it, and it is one of the biggest reasons I am able to navigate the investment world with a passion and drive for success. I retired at age 43, not solely because of his class, but it sure made me more confident in my decisions. Thanks Dr. Kelly !

Comment:
Kelly's a really nice, funny, and intelligent, but his lectures are ridiculously confusing, and that's from a finance major who had a 4.0 before taking his class. Even reading every chapter, the TF and short answer pop quizzes will devastate your grade. If you write everything you can on test help sheets you can get A-B's. No wonder 85% is an A.

Very confusing lectures and was unable to keep my attention for more than five minutes. The way he explains things is not very clear and I know I am not the only one who was confused and lost at the end of each lecture.

Get help sheets on test but read the book because nothing is from his lecture. Calls people out in class and is beyond boring.

Comment:
I have only taken one test so far, but I got an A. He gives A LOT of extra credit & an A=85%. He grades off 3 tests & a project. He won't do anything online. He's old & set in his ways but he's a hell of a nice guy & funny. I've stayed after class before to clarify some things and he's always willing to help. Buck up & do the work- you'll be fine.

Kelly tries to help out as much as he can, but he does expect you to read and work on problems outside of class. He is extremely helpful if you have questions and go to his office. If you study you should be fine. And the grading scale is now lowered to an 80 for an A, 70 for a B, etc. but it is that way for all of the finance teachers/classes!

Class was extremely hard. I studied for hours and still didn't receive a high grade for it. Also he doesn't explain problems well and expects you to figure it out on your own. Must be very self motivated to get a high grade. Also doesn't use ecompanion so you never know your grade.

The guy might know his stuff but expects us to worship the book. Gives quizzes all the time before we even go over the material. Grading scale is lowered to 85=A. Tests suck. Unless finance major don't take.

I loved going to his class! His class is hard but he makes sure you understand. He calls on everyone during class. So you will have to speak a little. He is very funny and really cares about his students and he lets you know. I would recommend him, it is worth the hard work! :)

Horrible. I would never ever take this class. I can not imagine how he is still teaching at NW. He has to lower his grading scale so 85 is an A, and 65 is a C. Thats ridiculous.

This class is HARD. I studied hours on end, went to a tutor, and went to every class and managed to scrape by with a C. He's helpful and knows his stuff, but don't think you can get by with not reading the book. It's a HARD class. Be prepared to study.

Kelly's Survey of Econ class was HARD. I studied my butt off, went to every class, and went to the TDC and somehow scraped by with a C. If you're an education major, you're screwed. He's the only one that teaches Survey. He's a nice guy, don't get me wrong, and he does know his stuff. But this is NOT an easy class.

He is a Very nice and funny guy but his class is So hard!! I've never gotten a D before I took his class! It is based Strictly off three tests and one final. If you are not a good test taker stay away! it is AWFUL!

He's confused the living crap out of me. I studied my notes and the book and went to every class, One class i left 10 minutes early to literally go throw up. Ended up with a D and I have never got a D in my life. If your a finance major take him because you will be forced to learn every little thing. If not take WILSON!! MUCH EASIER

He's funny. I liked him. He knows his stuff. You just have to work hard. The tests come directly from the book and online quizzes, so if you study those you will be fine. He lets you work in groups a lot which helps boost the grade.

This class was pretty easy. The tests are not the easiest....but he gives random quizzes between the tests that add to your test score. So you can earn up to 15-20% on your score. So just study and go to class and you will be fine.

He has a great sense of humor during class. His tests are extremely hard and do not reflet the materials he teaches during class. Average test score we just got back was a D-
