Comment:
Dr. Kelton was an awesome lecturer that kept me engaged the whole way through his portion of the course. His stories and jokes would often connect with the course and even if his tangents didn't, I felt it was a breath of fresh air from the serious, dense nature of the class. STUDY, STUDY, STUDY. Want that good mark? Put in A LOT of work.

Comment:
Kelton is a terrific lecturer. He is humorous, and provides plenty of real world examples to help you understand the content. That being said you need to know his material inside and out. It's not enough to just memorize the content. Many exam questions are application based. Diagrams will also appear on the exam. He warns you, cram & fail. Truth!

Comment:
Kelton is a great lecturer, but his test has little to do with lecture. He said the test will be 100% from lecture, yet I found many test questions directly from the book, that were not explained at all in class. I am not even kidding, he spent most of class time talking about moderation, nothing specific. The course had poor, if any structure.

Comment:
Professor Kelton has great understanding of anatomy. His half of the course (muscles and bones) was not particularly interesting. There are cheat sheets allowed on the midterm, so make sure you include all the origins, insertions and actions. He includes funny stories in his lectures, so it's not too draining to sit through his class!

Comment:
Great Prof! Pay attention to what he spends more time discussing in class. His exam was a bit tougher than I expected but that's because I didn't study hard enough. I liked his teaching style more than Smith's but in Anatomy, you're going to have to find your own technique in remembering things. Follow his advice, don't procrastinate!

Kelton and Smith both taught Anatomy, and I'm sure you're all aware of that. His material was easy but his midterm test was not.. Pay attention to every detail he says and take good notes. You'd be surprised how many people failed and then dropped the course after his exam. Best of luck.

Comment:
I was the only nursing student in this KINE class, and I found it to be very straightforward. Having never taken a KINE class before, i didn't know what to expect, but it's clear that dept. is much better than the NURS dept when it comes to teachers. Would definitely recommend this class, as Dr. Kelton is probably one of the best in the field.

Prof Kelton is a great prof. This is a not an easy course, but a course that's very doable to get an A in provided you do some work. He does stray a bit from the notes, but who cares. The diet analysis assignments are also easy mark boosters. As long as you like nutrition (if not you shouldn't be in Kine), then you'll like this course with Kelton.

Comment:
The Good: -Kind -makes class interesting with his stories -wants students to do wel the Bad: from an administrative standpoint, I strongly dislike the class. Specifically, it's very difficult to follow along with what he is saying and what's on the lecture notes as he tends to jump from point 3 to point 1, then over to point 5.

Dr. Kelton is a great lecturer that has a passion for what he teaches. I dropped a different elective to take his Human Nutrition one, and I have no regrets. Would highly recommend for anyone who needs a KINE elective

Comment:
Roger is a very good lecturer in that he is able to make his lectures very enjoyable. His part of the course (muscles) is why I love anatomy now. His lecture did not correspond perfectly with notes which is okay, but different from smith. The exam seemed to be easy for most, but it turned out that most did very poorly. They bumped so dont worry.

Comment:
Prof Kelton is chill as a person telling stories and all. However, do not let that fool you, his part of the course is harder than Smith's part in my opinion. The crib sheet helps a bit but the final exam is tough. He drags his lectures long. Smith even though he went fast finished the content in half the lecture time. Both are equally bad though!!

Professor Kelton is an amazing prof who enjoys what he teaches! If you never enjoyed anatomy, you will now! He is very clear when he teaches, although you may have to re-listen to some parts of the lecture. An 'A' is attainable as long as you put in the effort.

Comment:
He used a bunch of teaching aids like a skeleton and some of the students, combined with his personality this makes lectures really interesting to listen to. Enjoys the words "palpate" and "popliteus" so you'll be hearing those a lot. Overall a pretty cool guy and a great prof; listen, read over the material once or twice, and you should do great.

He is pretty clear and knows his stuff. Some of his exam questions were a bit too much (like very specific details I you wouldn't even think to remember.)

AMAZING prof! uses skeleton and human body as teaching aids. tries to help students remember course content through mnemonics and personal experiences. explanations are very clear and concise. he always tries to answer any and all questions during lectures for clarity. Overall, one of the best profs i've ever had!

He taught the Skeletal and Muscular System for Anatomy and i believe he is by far the best professor. He makes the class enjoyable, and im looking forward to having him teach in the future. Just finished writing his exam and if you study and know everything he tells you in and out it should feel fairly easy.
