Comment:

Excellent prof. He assigns homework that is somewhat time consuming but really helps you understand how to work with a server OS (with clear directions). His tests are standard MC, fill in blanks and written. He teaches in a way that he takes concepts and conveys them in ways beginners can understand. Highly recommend.

Comment:

Kenward is a good prof, however if you are taking a larger class load I wouldn't recommend. He assigns a ton of assignments which are time consuming to complete properly. We had two midterms, two quizzes as well on top of the many assignments. If you have extra spare time for homework he's a good choice, but if you are tight for time, skip him.

Kenward is a great professor. One of the few professors in KPU that I think actually care about his students. His lectures are clear and is willing to help you out if you ask. He gives out plenty of homework and provides feedback. I would recommend anyone who wants to learn to take his class.

Looking at some of the negative reviews, I get it. Kenward DOES give a lot of homework, but none of it is pointless. He is a very clear, fair instructor. There's nothing on his "tough midterms" that he doesn't cover in class and in the assignments. Don't take Kenward's courses if you want an easy A, take them if you want to learn something.

Great quality prof. I really enjoy his lectures. He is by far the best professor in the department. I see people complaining about the amounts of homework he gives but we're in university, you shouldn't expect less. Also, his work ethic is awesome and he's pretty understanding if you can't make it to class and need to hand-in an assignment.

Lots of homework except to work hours on homework. Don't take his class if you have more than one class because he treats this as if this is your only course.

The only thing bad in his teaching is that his assignments are too lengthy and its worth of only 5%. Don't get enough time to focus on other subjects. To be specific, don't take it

Comment:

Kenward is an easy going teacher and takes his time to explain everything required to complete assignments. This course is easy in general if you have any concept of logic, if you don't than you're probably in the wrong class. There is a lot of homework though none of it is overwhelming. Expect some trick questions on tests and exams.

Comment:

Kenward was a very great teacher when it came to giving precise instructions and clarity on assignments. His only downfall was the amount of assignments given and how long they took. Each assignment would take easily 8 hours and would only be worth 5% of your overall mark. It's as if he believes his class is the only one you are taking.

Comment:

Kenward truly demonstrates enthusiasm for the class, a rare trait among professors. Allowed a 1 page 'cheat sheet' for midterm and final exam. My only issue with him was how many assignments he piled on our class & how long each assignment took to complete. It's as if he isn't aware that we have other classes to attend to and focus on.

He is very nice in CPSC 1100. Don't bother taking CPSC 1103 - (EXPERT) Experience with C++ programming is a MUST! in order to at least pass this program.. He is mostly out of the pffice to get help from. Don't take him for CPSC 1103. At All.
