The assignment is fair if you went to class, paid attention and did the readings. Honestly you would think you were in high school, and not university. kenedy gives you your money's worth in his class and you actually learn something! Great prof!

a very good prof. sensitive to the needs of his students. A francophone student in this course, he helped me improve not only my written ability in english, but my oral comprehension as well by his amazing teaching ability. He really cares for his students, and if you try, you will do very well in this course.

I remember professor Kenedy as a good methods prof who taught a good course. A nice guy and all around good person, despite the boring course content.

Comment:

i really don't know what the big deal with kennedy is. he's absolutely overrated. usually york socio profs are the pride of yorku, but not this one. i bet it's the same pet student rating him over and over again. don't make the mistake that i did of reading the good ratings here and taking his class!!!!

Comment:

The class was actually fun and enjoyable for an evening class. Being in the tutorial before the class was helpful because after you got to attend lecture and know what was really happening because the T.A. was the worst of the worst!Hopeless T.A.,lack of professionalism, intelligence and knowledge,but what else do you expect from York Sociology?

Comment:

The exams are hard if you do not do the work. Professor Kenedy's class is meant for students who want to learn, not those who come to university for a free ride. Just because other sociology profs give you a free ride and open book exams in fourth year, does not mean he follows their horrendous example. If you ask him for help he will help you!

Always able to hold your attention in a class of sociological methods. His funny stories and ancedotes made the class pass by quickly and you actually learned something.By far the best methods prof in Sociology, Professor Kenedy deserved the University Wide teaching Award. Congratulations Sir on a job well done, your students love you!

Comment:

Professor Kenedy is one of those rae individuals who truly challenges students and wants them to succeed to the best of their ability. A gem among professors, he is rare in his genuine kindness and compassion towards his students. He integrity is second to none and you will never be the same after taking a class with him.
