Very awkward professor. When you ask him a question he goes on a rant without answering your question. Not a very good professor to be teaching future teachers. Bad example.

Comment:

The programs and "modules" he wants you to use have to be downloaded and will take up a ton of space on your computer. He will ask a question and then say nothing as students struggle to find the right answer. Cue long awkward pause. He doesn't even have to actually teach this course because he bought all the material from intel. Self-absorbed.

Comment:

I had him in the afternoon section. He was extremely confusing and not helpful. We all felt uncomfortable asking him questions. He was also very inconsistent. He gave his evening class discs and did not offer them to us. Avoid this professor!

Looked down on students and applications taught in classes are not relevant to the real classroom experience.

Comment:

Dr. Kennard is a very hard professor for the 100 level. Has a tendency to scare people away from teaching.He doesn't believe in posiive reinfornment. Make sure he is not your advisor!If your up for a challenge take him.

Comment:

Dr. Kennard is truly a caring educator. He is committed to helping students think "outside the box". Though he dishes out deliberate ambiguity, it is truly a teaching tool to promote self-examination of our own tunnel vision.

Comment:

The Worst Advisor Ever... It seems that he genuinely does not care about his advisee (me). He was entirely unhelpful during the registration process. In fact, it was a real struggle just to get my PIN number.

Comment:

Different teaching style. He doesn't quite cover some of the basics of 150, like portfolios, but if you are teacher's pet, he praises your efforts with good grades. Don't get on his bad side! You won't succeed here. Interesting perspectives and worth taking at least once.

He is an awful advisor. He didn't take enough time to look over my schedule and missed that I had a huge problem with conflicting hours. When I asked for help he told me it was my decision! I was so mad!
