Comment:

She shouldn't even be a professor. Ignores student requests and emails. Quizzes and exams don't accurately reflect learning and often have so many mistakes that they are downright distracting. Avoid if you care about your education.

Comment:

Absolutely terrible, avoid her at all costs. Her lectures are impossible to pay attention to and her exams are all online (timed to about a minute per question) and written where you need about 5 minutes per question. IMPOSSIBLE. This class is going to wreck my GPA.

Comment:

Kennedy is incredibly difficult to understand; not because she physically speaks poorly, it's because she uses words she doesn't know how to use. Basically, you're on your own in this class. If you don't know what she means, you're never going to and she won't explain. Good luck.

Comment:

This was a super easy class. I didn't open the book once. It honestly has a lot of interesting content, but paying attention is useless. You won't be able to pick up on what she is looking for unless you're 100% attentive and read the book. I got an A without opening the book or paying attention in class.

Comment:

This class is terrible. All she does is lecture from a powerpoint all day everyday. No need to read the book really. Her instructions and syllabus are hard to follow and very confusing. You get at least 2 emails a day from her. She's nice and friendly, but I would not recommend her as a teacher for this class.

Comment:

Very easy class, I just sit on my computer the whole hour 15. Very unclear with everything. She just stairs at her computer and talks and never looks up. No clue what to do on papers and tests are very scattered and clueless. Take if you want an easy A but to get really frustrated.

Comment:

I thought kennedy was a ver nice teacher, but she was very unclear on what she was expecting from you as a student. unclear on what was on the tests, very scatterbrained, i WOULD NOT recommend taking this class, atleast from this teacher. I was very interested in taking this then once i got to class all my hope was gone.

Comment:

Do not take Kennedy if you can avoid it. She is probably the WORST professor I have ever had the displeasure of working with. She is very unorganized and has NO clue how to use D2L. The questions on tests and quizzes are ridiculous. Tests used to be online but not anymore. She lectures all hour and is very unclear in what you need to know.

Comment:

Let's start with the good: she is really nice. Now the bad. She used to do D2L tests, it was unlimited time and open notes/book. Not anymore. She had so much troubles this semester with D2L that she is giving in class tests (starting with this semesters final). The only notes are what you can cram on a tiny notecard SHE provides. DO NOT TAKE

Comment:

WORST teacher I have ever had by far! She would change all the due dates on us, she doesn't know how to use D2L so it would only work half the time, and then she would make us take impossible paper tests that she would time. Class is boring. She is confusing. Changes due dates. Overall HORRIBLE.

Comment:

Probably one of the nicest professors you'll come across.. however she's sometimes unclear explaining what she wants you to know for tests/quizzes. Had quite a few take home quizzes though & gives a ton of XC! Easy class.

Comment:

Boring class, hard to follow, syllabus is super confusing, and tests are made for a religions major. If you don't really have an interest in Religions I would recommend fulfilling your CD requirements with another course. Group project was a hassle and was timed during finals preparation. Luckily tests are on D2L.

Comment:

Her quizzes she gives often are impossible, but she gives plenty extra credit. The papers she makes you write seem difficult BUT if you need help, go ask her. She is very approchable and knows what she is talking about. She is however basically an old bat, she forgets things all the time and says inappropriate things, but you can get a good laugh.

Comment:

If you need an easy GE4 class take RELS 100 with Kennedy. It's impossible for a college class to be any easier. You don't even have to pay attention in class, but bring your computer because it gets boring, especially in the 3 hour class. 3 take home tests - including the final - and 2 easy papers. Got an A with zero effort.

Comment:

To sum up her class, her quizzes and tests are very difficult but makes up for them with tons of extra credit. Her paper instructions aren't very clear but she is a very easy grader. Overall, this class isn't hard to get an A in but prepared to be frustrated with her.

Comment:

She loves what she teaches, which always helps. She is super easy and not always clear about what she wants, but it doesn't matter because there is no way to fail the course. She knows most are taking this for gen ed creds. She is very nice and personable and even funny at times. If you want an A in RELS 100 take her, although you may get bored

Comment:

While she may not be the best professor, she tries and is pretty lenient on things. Lots of extra credit, sometimes take home exams/quizzes. Paper expections not really clear.
