An engaging man, great subject---but his tests are too tricky, and his over-emphasis on extremely small details takes some of the life out of the subject. I went to his office to help him see exactly how and why some of his test questions are unclear and problematic. It helped a bit, but not enough. Study really hard for his tests.

Informational lectures, one of the nicest professors I've had, clear grading requirements. One of the best GEs.

Prof. Kennedy explained concepts really well in lecture, but the readings for this class were pretty dense and there were weekly quizzes on them. However, we were allowed to attempt the homework as many times as we needed which was really nice. Tests weren't worth that much of our grade so it was easier to do well in the class.

He's pretty funny and engaging during lectures, but the material itself felt pretty dry -- a lot of memorization without as much explanation as to why these things were interesting and important. Overall, though, he's a pretty solid prof and not a very tough grader.

Professor Kennedy was not a terrible professor but he wasn't amazing either. The lectures are extremely dense with confusing slides and I often found it challenging to keep up with the content The midterm and final were mildly difficult. I'd take him again if I had to, but wouldn't actively choose to.

Dense lectures, however clear expectations and tests do not impact grade too heavily
