CollegeAbsolutely loved this professor! The class was "graded" by the work you completed and you had an A, B, and C option. The tests were open book and he made sure you were plenty prepared for the type of questions to expect on them. All the assignments were really interesting and I learned a lot about Shakespeare in this class!
Fascinating class! Professor Kearney is a very passionate and knowledgeable lecturer. The class is extremely transparent on grading practices which I appreciated. I would recommend this class to anyone.
He was an amazing professor! Very accesible outside of class and super understanding about things that come up if you need an extension. He has a hierarchy sort of grading system where he tells you exactly how many assignments you need to do to get an A, B, or C. Assignments can be done very quickly (usually a 500 word write up). Love this class!
He's awesome. Makes very clear what assignments will be given throughout the course. All are very simple but still manage to help reflect on what was learned. He's so passionate about the material and every lecture is engaging. Online open-note midterm and final. Attendance not mandatory. Highly recommend. He's one of the best in the department.
