This was one of the worst class I've ever had at UVA. It has dissuaded me from ever taking another MSE class ever again. The subject is already dry and boring, but Groves just exponentiates it with his lectures. Tests were too long as well.

Really nice guy, lectures can be a little dry but informative

I had Prof. Groves and I wish I had taken MSE with Kelly. Everyone I know who was in Kelly's class had higher averages on the tests and HW's simply bc he is a better teacher. Thank God for Steve Policastro, the TA, get to know him. He is a really nice guy and will help you at any time, not just his office hours.

Fantastic Lectures with easy to understand slides giving a good background in Materials Science.
