Dr. Kennedy is the man! Took him 3 times, would recomend him to anyone, especially people interested in Politics.

good teacher and a great guy!! took him twice..person below must have flunked the course..doesn't take himself too seriously but his tests can be tough..likes it when you tell him you saw him on tv.

i like him. tests are ok, but cover a lot of material. NEVER LETS OUT EARLY. hes a good teacher though.

I think he's awesome! His test require a lot of writing but he gives you a review that has it all... all you have to do is study a little and you'll pass.. study an extra few minutes and you'll get an a

Dr. Kennedy is the greatest guy! He is always helpful and his classes are fun. Tests are not easy, but if you put in the time you can do very well. Highly recommend!!!

hes da man... had him three times

he could do better than this place...so could i though

Easy class, really cool guy. One test in the beginning of semester, he gives review sheet that 100% the exsact test. After that you basically have about 9 hw assignments and 1 30 page paper. 30 page paper = 8 pages written, 22 pages of graphs = EASY!

Professor Kennedy is an ok teacher. I find that some of the material is interesting and his tests are kind of easy. The only problem is he rambles on and does not seem to know the answers to students questions a lot of the time.

good guy,helped me find a good internship.higher level courses are easier and simulations are fun.person below saying that he is a Rep.,either you are a fool or a liar.everyone knows he is a DEMOCRAT.even had a Kerry sign in his window.maybe you failed because college isn't for you.try trade school.

He's definitely not Republican to whoever listed that one... I definitely don't have his same beliefs but it hasn't shown in his grading... he's a very fair professor

This class was fun and fairly easy. Kennedy is hysterical. Good professor, def reccommend

one of the best professors at WCU. very laid back but he is not easy. his tests are hard but you'll learn a lot about american govt. study hard and you'll be alright.

Ok..I'm in his class right now..Sooo BORING! I can give two figs about the US Constitution. There's reading about it when I want, then there's being forced to read it. Honestly, he sux the fun outta pol-sci. Gave me a 2-pg test outline and I'm on my 10TH page of my own..This weekend'll TOTALLY BLOW!

he's a prince..lost my textbook three weeks before the final and he gave me his own copy to use for the rest of the semester. thanks.

he's ok. debates are fun to watch.

best class I had freshman year

good class, he's a nice guy, though some students tried to take advanteage of him

He gives really long essay exams and only give you a few days, he's nice and interesting though.

Kennedy is a fabulous teacher and is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. His classes are not easy but you learn a lot. He is always willing to help with anything if you just approach him, I definately recommend taking one of his classes.

hes a nice guy, but im so bored in his classes. he knows alot about politics, but half of the time he discusses issues not realated to the readings.i sit there and read the text instead of paying attention to him

Lectures were boring at times but overall, the course was good. Learned almost every square inch of the political system. Definitely NOT hot.

Took many classes with Dr. Kennedy. Probably my favorite professor ever. If you really like politics, taking one of his courses is an incredible experience. Steer clear if you're just looking for an easy grade.

Easy to follow and class was sometimes boring, but if you take notes and go to class... you can do good. Plus, he gives you study guides and everything on the test is taken from the study guides..would deffinitly reccomend this professor.

i liked the class but the exams are tough. don't expect an easy grade

his senior seminar class was the best, especially the field trip

overall recommended. as several have mentioned some of his lectures can be boring. but the simulation is fun and he is a nice guy

Kennedy is a great teacher! I have had many class with him and would recommend him to anyone interested in political science. His classes revolve around lectures but if you listen and take some notes than the test are easy. He is extremely smart and knows a ton about PA politics. Take any of his classes if you want to learn about the government.

i liked him alot but hes definately old school. chalk and talk.

If you're interested in Pennsylvania politics, he's the man!

This is a good gen ed class. it might be difficult if your not into politics but...Prof Kennedy LOVES this class and is very enthusiastic. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in poly sci but maybe not enough that its your major

Dr. Kennedy teaches great classes. If you are interested especially in PA politics he is your go to man. Very knowledgeable man, class is not that hard as long as you stay on top of the workload.

great if you like discussing elections. the simulations were also fun

Boring. His class consists of all lecture. He give a review sheet before each test that has EVERYTHING that is on the test on it. Know the review sheet well and ace the tests. There were 3 tests and 1 debate. You can get an A if you study hard for his tests and read the text.

This guy is the man. He gives you a study guide before each test with everything on it. Write down the important stuff he talks about in class. He knows everything about politics and keeps it interesting(if your into politics). You will have 3 tests and a debate. If you study really well for them(they are pretty hard) you should get an A.

I enjoyed the class a lot but I'm a political science major. You better be interested in american government when you sign up.

take him if you are interested in elections

I took him for amrican govt and didn't think that I would like it. No films, powerpoint, just lecture, but he really is a great speaker. Nice guy also. Highly recommend.

Difficult for an intro class. Grades you on 4 or 5 tests plus one debate. All tests are multiple choice, most people failed majority of them (he ended up just giving us points sometimes) but he claims he's remaking them next year.

Dr. Kennedy's thoughts are all over the place, but he eventually gets his messages across. He knows what he's talking about and he's a great guy. Very big on elections, got off topic talking about them for about 5 classes in a row. Grades based on a few tests and a debate, which are easy if you take a day or two to review notes and the book.

I loved him! Gave lots of extra credits on the last test and I ended up with a 120% in the class. Tests are kinda hard if you don't study on before hand, but if you use the study guide and your common sense you'll be fine. Kennedy is the man!

Very easy to talk to, he was able to mold the course around current events and keep things interested while still covering the material necessary to the course. If you show up and contribute to discussions, you'll do fine.

The lectures sort of drag on sometimes, and sometimes he has a hard time articulating his thoughts but it never really affects the overall class. Goes on tangents only when asked an irrelevant question, so don't ask stupid questions. I recommend at least skimming the book to study for tests along with notes because not all terms are said in class.

I LOVE PROFESSOR KENNEDY!! He is the sweetest professor I have had so far and I really enjoyed his class. We were only graded on exams and some of his lectures got kind of boring but he truly cares about his students and what he is teaching! Take his class!

Dr. Kennedy is such a sweet guy and a really easy teacher. All you need to do is show up to class and actually listen to the lecture. Take notes but he outlines his tests so you know exactly what's gonna be on it. All tests have a curve too so it's really easy to get an A in the class. Just show up.

I really enjoyed class with Dr. Kennedy. I think he is insightful and passionate about political science. I enjoyed the format of the class which was discussion based about current topics, elections, and Pennsylvania history. He is a good person and a fair grader. All papers. If you're a political science major he's the guy for you.

Love Dr. Kennedy, he's a great guy who loves political science. He does only grade on four tests but as long as you go through the study guide, use google and his book you'll be fine! Attendance isn't mandatory and don't really need to go if you read the book. He gives extra credit and helps you in office hours if you need it.

His passion for politics exude through the classroom. Although he is boring at times, this class is easy to pass and connects local politics with national politics. He's awesome and very nice too!

most of what goes on during lecture are just political conversations. if its in the textbook, you're going to be tested on it. if you want an A, read the book. just read the freaking book.

I hate history so much, but it seems easier with his lectures. He tells it in order of how stuff happens. Which kind of makes it like a story, especially since he tells some things in detail and brings it more to life. So far I feel better about the class since it's taught like that and not "here's a term, here's another term".

Show up, do the work and you'll do great.

Dr. Kennedy is a funny guy who tries to make the content interesting. He accepts that most students only take the course to fill Gen Ed requirements. Class is not mandatory, that being said if you show up and listen you will get an A on the exams. Only 4 tests and one project, super easy.

I laugh my butt off when I go to Dr. Kennedys class. His class is the only one I consistently show up to and never email him bullcrap like Im sick because I actually want to go to his class and have a good time. We are always learning something new and engaging everyone in the class. His classes feel like small family tables I really like them.

He tells you to buy the books but if you just go to lecture and don't read, he tells you all of the information you need to know for tests. Lectures can feel long, but taking notes will help to save you $150 on textbooks. Class has no homework and tests are multiple choice. Good professor who wants his students to do well if you show up to class.

Kennedy has been my professor and advisor the past 4 years and honestly, he is one of my favorites in the department. He's old school and likes discussion but he's super relaxed, lienant with deadlines and overall a caring guy. He's very passionate about what he teaches and really has his student's backs. I'll miss him dearly after I graduate

Professor Kennedy is a really passionate lecturer. I have taken him twice now and am signed up for a third class of his next semester. You need to be in class to do well on exams. Often things he says are verbatim on the exam. I would say attending the lecture is more important than reading the book. He is very smart and loves what he teaches!

I am taking Professor Kennedy's class right now and it's fully online. You would think that it wouldn't be enjoyable watching lectures online, but he is so passionate and almost teaches as if he was telling a story. I look forward to the weekly video lectures. He also gives an outline for his lectures which is really nice. Highly recommend!!!

Kennedy is the pinnacle of "safe option" teachers. He's not bad, and he does not wow me. He has a medium level of grading and assignment difficulty, and there are just a few things you're graded on (like most PSC classes). This class is really about just showing up and chatting, then doing assignment based off of readings. Fun, if you love politics

Professor Kennedy was great! I agree with the review saying he is a safe professor. The bulk of the grades come from exams. He just lectures. The textbook isnt necessary but it helps. This is a solid professor who knows his stuff. I enjoyed the class and would recommend him to anybody for it. Very solid and safe option.

I took Professor Kennedy's class online over the winter semester. I was worried when I read the syllabus and saw the grades were mostly from tests and discussion posts (which were only about 4 points). However, if you listen to the lectures and skim over the textbook, the exams are not difficult at all, and I am not typically a good test taker.

Took online- he is very knowledgeable in politics, keeps the content interesting, and is always accessible if you have a question/problem. There are 4 exams, listen to the lectures and you will be fine. I believe he curves his exams a bit. One discussion post a week. Good, safe class to take for behavioral/social science elective.

he is definitely secure in his classes and very organized. it really is a lecture, but he is a great safe teacher for a gen ed. his tests are easy, and so are discussion posts. it is definitely hard to fail.

Great teacher, has connections within state government and experience working in Harrisburg so can connect the course to actual events going on and what he's seen. Loves engagement from students and is clearly passionate. Tests are virtual but you have to record yourself and the proctoring software is janky. Need to take notes and read to do well.

Weekly discussion board, two 14-page essays (one for midterm, one for final), and finish class with a fun simulation of Congress. The essays were not hard, and plenty of extra credit. He was a very forgiving and funny professor; do yourself a favor and take his class. Also do yourself a favor and read his early reviews on this site, they are funny.

I took PSC 324, 325, 335, and 355 with him. He's among the best professors I've had, remaining intellectually neutral. PSC 355 was the most challenging; genuine interest in the material is essential to succeed.

Dr. Kennedy has allowed me to further my passion for politics. His political parties class was very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed the election simulation. I was a speechwriter for this project and it was so interesting to explore political speech-writing in this form. Dr. Kennedy shows a lot of care for his students and helps them succeed.

Class is just a lecture, with conversations. Definitely not a death-by-lecture type of class. His exams are just papers that he gives plenty of time to complete. His group project simulations are a blast. There is never any homework. As long as you show up and do well on his exams, it's a pretty easy good grade.

This was a fully online course and it was super easy and straightforward. A discussion post every week needing a response and then a comment to a peer. About every 2 weeks there was an online proctored exam. As long as you watch his lecture videos, they are not hard.

Dr. Kennedy is a great professor. All exams are online, and attendance is not mandatory. Very caring and understanding. Discussion post for first 10 weeks, and then an exam every few weeks. He knows what he is talking about and loves it. Lectures can get long and boring, but truly a great guy and would definitely take another class.
