LING160 . Kennedy R A 3 Years Ago

He is the GOAT! It is my fourth time taking prof. Kennedy's class. Assignments are easy to get full points, the term project is also very creative. The exams are somewhat hard, but he set reach-the-line grading criteria, making you get full points as long as you answer 72% of questions correctly.

LING160 . Kennedy R A 5 Years Ago

I changed my major and avoided several classes because of this guy. He doesn't care about his students, only enjoys hearing himself speak. Have fun spending hours memorizing useless info that isn't applicable to anything else but his boring class. Terrible.

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

LING20 . Kennedy R A 2 Months Ago

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.
