Professor Kenndy is a great professor. He genuinely cares for his students and the material being shared. I took this for a prep for major course and will be taking another one of his courses (Ling 70) this winter. His class is straightforward, and the TAs are all great. I think his grading is fair, and that his lectures were truly interesting.

Super funny. The words that he uses to describe the topics can be a bit confusing but if you read the textbook beforehand its alright. His mask and mich combo might put you to sleep tho. Very interesting class as well

Kennedy is one of the funniest professor's I've had at ucsb so far. You're graded on participation, quizzes/assignments online that you can retake until you get 100%, and 1 midterm and 1 final. You do need to actually understand terms and the material in order to do well, but his class wasn't too bad and it's not difficult to do well.

Two quizzes a week, unlimited attempts. Super easy class. One midterm and one final both very short. You do have to show up to the lectures because he doesn't post them online. I never touched the textbook and still passed so... he's that professor that tries to be funny too.
