The first thing I noticed about Kelley was how willing she is to work with students to determine the criteria for assignments. She is excellent for bouncing ideas off of for research topics. Even though she does summarize readings it ends up helping with exams.Rate My Professors ↗
I had Conway for Com Arts 461 (it wasn't an option available). She is truly one of the best professors that I have ever met. Conway has challenged and inspired my entire perspective as an academic scholar. Her film selection was PERFECT, amazing professor.Rate My Professors ↗
I don't hate her or anything but if you have had any courses that deal with French cinema: silent, pre-war, new wave, pulp, 80's, etc., nothing new here. I transferredRate My Professors ↗
Kelly is passionate and a wonderful person. Her content in 313 felt short-winded for an hour and fifteen minute lecture. I enjoyed her picks for screenings, but found Thursday's discussions of the films to be wasteful. You won't be disappointed, but you won't be blown away.Rate My Professors ↗
I adore Professor Conway. I took this course and Global Art Cinema with her and she is SO knowledgable, presenting the information in a way that clearly shows her love of the field. I cannot recommend this professor highly enough--wish I could take even more courses with her!Rate My Professors ↗
Amazing Professor! Inspirational, really changed how I think about film. People may not agree with me, but I would never be the same without taking this class. I would say that is was the best part of the week, except for college football games.Rate My Professors ↗
