Kenny is an awesome dude. He has a cult following and I totally understand why. He's super down to Earth but is also super knowledgeable on the subject matter at hand. I would definitely take a class with him if he were in my major.

Awesome guy, very fun class. It's basically a few exams (multiple choice) and one group project, but everyone in the group gets different grades based on their work. Try to go to class tho bc it's pretty hard to get the notes any other way and it's way more fun than reading the book. I would definitely take this class again!

Comment:

Feder is my favorite professor, he makes sure to keep the lectures interesting & funny. Wish I could take more classes with him honestly. Only had two exams (midterm and final) and they were all essay questions. Extremely interesting class and his sense of humor made it even better. He wrote the textbook that honestly feels like reading fiction

Don't take this class if you're not interested because you willl dread it. He's an awesome profesor but if you're not going to want to follow. It's a lot of information and the lecture is long.

Unbelievably great professor. Hands down favorite prof at CCSU. Lectures are interesting and keep your attention. He makes class funny and the material understandable. Made me want to learn more about archeology. Assignments are clear and he is there for help. Tests are essay questions. Definitely take this professor! fantastic guy all around.

Even though attendance isn't recorded, you do have to show up. There's very little to take notes on, so if you wish to be well prepared for tests don't miss many classes. If you do all that and pay attention, you'll do just fine. His stories are also very worth listening to.

Loved Archaeology. The tests are fairly easy if you take notes in class and listen to his stories. Attendance is not recorded, but very important to know details discussed in class. The tests work around his stories in class. The power points he gives you on his website do not have descriptions that you'll need. I would take this again. 10/10

Here'sssss Kenny - The Tonight show starring Kenny Feder - in other words, this guy is hilarious. An amazing lecturer that gives great stories on archaeology. Fun and laid back class. Not alot of note-taking. 3 exams that are mult choice (around 50 questions) and a fun easy project. - Kenny is the man!! The class was a breeze, insightful,& fun

Amazing guy. He's been teaching for over 20 years, he's got it down. You'll have a great time in his class if you don't hate archaeology. The book outlines 5 of the 35 questions on the test, so its not too important. Kick back and listen to his stories during the lectures, take some notes, and you'll do fine

Federrrrr! Such an awesome guy. He's really hilarious. PowerPoints are mainly pictures. Take notes from his lecture! If you do that, it's no problem. Textbook is only used for extra credit questions on tests. 3 tests and one project. Not too bad at all. Go to class though! He's a really funny guy!

Not a hard class. The book that you use for the class is not really used except for extra credit on the tests. Nice teacher. If you write notes on what he says in his lectures, then your golden for the tests.

Easy teacher. Don't have to read the book unless you want to get the extra credit questions on the test. If you write down what he says during the lectures, the class is pretty easy.

Best professor on campus, hands down. Taking a Feder class should be a requirement because they're that great.
