Fifth time taking Prof. Kennedy. He is very caring and supportive. The exams and assignments are not hard but inspiring. My favorite professor in ling department!

LING107 . Kennedy R A 12 Years Ago

This class was tough and sometimes boring. The lectures were scattered at times. The homework should be very easy. The midterm was brutal, but then the final was scaled way back. Take advantage of office hours and READ THE BOOK even if it doesn't seem as though you need to. He's a great teacher but this class wasn't my favorite of his. Still, good.

He's a hit or a miss. Some students love him while others don't find his lectures to be interesting. The workload is do-able. Definitely go to Office hours for hw help. He's very passionate about linguistics. I think he's a great and supportive professor for the department! :)

Super cool guy, coursework was not difficult at all except for confusing exam questions. Not too much work, but lectures can get boring.

Seems very kind.. but so boring. I didn't go to half the lectures because I couldn't pay attention. His slides are just plain text, and he reads definitions and random foreign languages for the whole class. The work is super easy, though, with only one small quiz per week. Tests are very hard however.
