WRIT2 . Smith K A 1 Year, 9 Months Ago

Smaller classroom environment (25 students). It was just boring at times but beneficial for my scientific writing skills. He gives the necessary feedback and really wants you to do well. I thought I was an awful writer but never got below an 85 on any of the 3 papers and weekly assignments were graded by completion.

Kenny is the best writing professor you'll ever have. Is clear about grading method. For my class it was dependent on your PROGRESS and REVISIONS after he reviewed your first draft, not what you turn in the first time. Very caring and accessible.

WRIT2 . Smith K A 7 Years Ago

Had arnd.3 reading assignments, 1-2 pages and posted on gauchospace&you just have to write a small paragraph on what it was about. His class is graded on 3 essays, so each essay is worth a lot. 1st essay was 15%, 2nd was 30%, 3rd was 40%. Rest is participation&attendance. does require for each essay a peer review & one on one session with him!

Kenny is a great teacher who really focuses on assigning projects that will help the students later in writing. He only assigns four major papers and a speech at the end, so it's important to do well on each assignment to get the grade, but he also meets with students outside of class to go over their papers, which is very helpful. Easygoing guy.

Mr. Smith was a very nice teacher and super supportive! A long as you put in the effort and attempt to become a better writer you will be okay. His portfolio system of grading is really convenient. He's funny and the classes are actually very fun/engaging.

WRIT105P . Smith K A 2 Years Ago

Professor Kenny is a gem. Super sweet guy. Lots of great conversations in class. Two main papers in which he allowed regrades until you get a perfect score (on regrades he seemed to be mostly looking for people taking his feedback into account, so it was easy to get a perfect score on a regrade). Please take this prof is you have the chance
