CollegeI absolutely love Kelsey's class! She's a great professor and she never fails to brighten up her student's mood. If you have to fulfill a language requirement, do take her class! I've had her class from German 1 up until German 3. She's awesome! Very understanding and cooperative, just keep her informed and participate in class.
Kelsey is amazing!!! Took her for Ger 1 & 2 and ended up falling in love with the language. Do the daily homework and pay attention in class to get an easy A. Love her.
I love kelsey so much. She made the class very fun and am taking her again next quarter. Highly recommend for any language requirement class or even for fun!
I love Kelsey! She's so kind and thoughtful and makes class genuinely interesting and fun. You have a homework sheet every day, but it doesn't take too long and is actually helpful. Quizzes every Thursday, but she also provides a practice quiz that accurately reflects what'll be on it, so it's easy to study for.
Kelsey is by far my favorite professor Ive had at UCSB and has made my german learning experience so easy and fun. Extremely kind, doesnt judge, easy but fair grader, and patient. These classes are an easy A if you do the daily homework and show up to class. Homework is also easy and well thought out and she makes excellent quizlets to study from
Best teacher and best class!
