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.

I took Ling 20 with him in the Fall of 2023 and I just realized I never wrote a review for him. He is a wonderful lecturer, and as a ling major, I found his classes to be both interesting and informative. I am going to take Ling 107 with him this winter and I am very excited!

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

Very chill and nice guy, and explains concepts well. Class was super easy yet interesting. Exams were fair.

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.

Covers a lot of interesting material and is super knowledgeable on it, too. You can retake the quizzes as many times as you'd like. Exams are fair, my TA was super nice, and though lecture attendance isn't mandatory (and you can use the slides posted to get the gist of anything you miss), he does reward attendance.

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

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.
