Obviously cares a lot about the topic. Would I take again? Not by choice, but if it fit into my schedule, I wouldn't be mad about it.

Best English prof! Very passionate about Shakespeare and genuinely loves interacting with his students. Two take-home exams and weekly film or writing assignments. Class was a piece of cake. He's also a swiftie, which was a plus. Wish he taught more courses!

Very clear on grading, pretty easy to get an A as long as you do the assignments (graded on completion). The midterm and final are both open note online.

Great class due to not having a section but he grades based on the number of assignments you complete. The TA is what makes or breaks your grade sometimes they do not think your essay was good and make it as not complete which then affects the letter grade you receive.

Great class, obviously you should be going in expecting to read Shakespeare, and other than that the workload was reasonable and lectures were very organized. Kearney was great, highly recommend.

I took Shakespeare in Pop Culture, which was a super fun and creative class. Kearney tells you exactly what you need to do from the start to earn the grade you want. There's plenty of time for the course readings and assignments, lots of variety in content, and a passionate lecturer. Definitely take a class if you have a chance.

Professor Kearney was by far the best professor I had this quarter. I took his Shakespeare in pop-culture class and it was incredibly simple just be aware of the readers. Other than that it's a super straightforward class and I had a great time in it. I look forward to whatever course he teaches next and if I could, I'd retake this class. 10/10

7 written assignment regarding specific Shakespeare books or plays that are graded as complete or incomplete + 2 "quizzams" which are open note + online. Super easy class & at times pretty fun to go see a play outside or a movie in class.

Absolutely loved this professor! The class was "graded" by the work you completed and you had an A, B, and C option. The tests were open book and he made sure you were plenty prepared for the type of questions to expect on them. All the assignments were really interesting and I learned a lot about Shakespeare in this class!

Fascinating class! Professor Kearney is a very passionate and knowledgeable lecturer. The class is extremely transparent on grading practices which I appreciated. I would recommend this class to anyone.

He was an amazing professor! Very accesible outside of class and super understanding about things that come up if you need an extension. He has a hierarchy sort of grading system where he tells you exactly how many assignments you need to do to get an A, B, or C. Assignments can be done very quickly (usually a 500 word write up). Love this class!

He's awesome. Makes very clear what assignments will be given throughout the course. All are very simple but still manage to help reflect on what was learned. He's so passionate about the material and every lecture is engaging. Online open-note midterm and final. Attendance not mandatory. Highly recommend. He's one of the best in the department.
