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! :)

Honestly this class was not bad. The midterm and final require a lotttt of studying of the details, a tip is for every concept memorize 1-2 examples that you can apply. Weekly quizzes are 40% of the grade but they have unlimited attempts. There was a pre-curve for both exams which really helped, and I didn't find the exams as hard as I thought.

The class was interesting but he taught of material that we weren't tested on.

Good professor. Both lectures and sections take attendance. It's possible to learn all the material in one day before the midterm or final and still do well. The exams are not difficult.
