She is an incredible woman - passionate, invested, loves teaching and the course material. VERY VERY difficult exams, several group projects (but these help the grades!). Would take again, but know what youre getting into!

Comment:

Dr K is one of my favorite professors at Denison. She taught my morning class and managed to keep it interesting enough to keep me awake, and uses a lot of personal examples about herself and her daughter in lectures. She's a bit of a tough grader, but if you keep up with the work it's not bad.

Comment:

Dr. Kennedy is extremely brilliant. Her class was seriously enjoyable to go to. Lectures interesting, especially with her knowledge of neuroscience and pharmacology. The only thing I wish I had in her class was more time! I would have loved to have her cover more topics, but since it's intro that's impossible.

Comment:

Prof. Kennedy is very well-versed in psychology, however, she lacks the ability to convey this knoweldge. It's particulary irksome when she cancels class several times right before a test to, and I quote, "go shopping with my daughter". I would suggest getting a smart tutor.

She is a very challenging professor, and you really have to work hard in her class, but she makes it fun and interesting by adding in personal stories. She is very sweet and loves what she teaches!!:)

This class was never boring. She makes it interesting with personal stories and open discussions. The class isn't hard if you know what she expects. She is a good teacher, very clear and friendly.

Good professor. Very helpful in class. Exams are difficult because they are unpredictable and do not comport well with in-class lecture. You have to really learn the material to do well.

She was a great teacher. Psychopharm was the hardest class I have ever taken. I learned more in that class even though I only got a c-. She was very inspiring.
