I had him for summer and his class was really easy. He is not ****, he does make some comments that are questionible but are in good humor. He means no harm as far as I can tell. Overall I thought he was good and would recommend him.

I had him over summer and it was a great class. Was really easy and it he keeps you awake. Good Class

I disagree with the others. He didn't come off as anti-white at all. He has good class interaction and everyone has freedom to their own opinion.I little weird at first,but I would still suggest his class to others.

He was very good and kept your attention.

Professor Kennedy is true to his students & himself. He is a very precise, clearly understood, humorous-funny & possitive instructor. If you can relate to his humor, you will find how easy going and diverse in his opinions are. Clearly only an educated, s

He is energetic and entertaining. He may feel strongly about some issues, but he is always open to other peoples opinions. He makes you participate and stimulates your mind.

Makes history fun. You have to read and participate to do well. I would recommend him.

Kennedy is good guy, a lot of essay test, lots of reading but if he likes you, you'll have no problems, the key is to participate right from the beginning. I love his class. "just a little jokey jokey" -kennedy 10:00 class

Mr. Kennedy is a very nice guy. Class is interesting. He will call on you and he'll get po'd if the class didn't read for class. He's very willing to help his students. The essays were tough, but I learned a lot.

Participate and play along. If you play the game you will win, if you don't you won't like him. We did a 1-2 page paper each week, a group project, and and essay for the exam. He does get heavy into slavery, only for 2 chapters. He tries to get people fired up and it is funny when he does.

Did very well in class. Loved having the lectures, they were very interesting. Not the normal boring history class. He is very oppinionated.

Lectures are a blast. Participate from day 1 and you will succeed. Civil War chapters were great. Journal entries made this class feel like a Gordon Rule. Course may have changed since I took it in Fall of '03. I recommend this class for those not afraid of reading and talking about it.

Mr.Kennedy is a great professor!!!!!!!!!!

I was so scared at first to take this class with him because of my conservative ways, but his class is my best class this semester! I love going to his class, he is always making it interesting and fun. He does get a little inappropriate sometimes but that's almost what makes him so funny! Recommend

Kevin is a class act. Wonderful insturctor; never had any problems with him at all. He is not ****, or liberal, or rude. He is a wonderful instructor who enjoys everyday teaching. Very good at what he does. One of the best instructors I've taken.

I WAS VERY SCARE OF HIM AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE HE LOVES TO CALL ON PEOPLE A LOT. BUT HE IS VERY FUNNY AND MAKES YOU WORK TO GET THE GRADE. I LIKE HIM BECAUSE HE IS VERY ENERGETIC WHEN TEACHES. WHICH MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING AND NOT BORING.

An excellent teacher and a good guy. Gave us a take-home final. Changed the midterm and the syllabus because some students complained it was too hard. Attendance and class participation important and you have to read the textbook. He's my favorite professor so far. I did the work & got an A.

Kennedy is a good guy. He's extremely smart and absolutely hilarious, so much so that class sometimes evolves from lecture to all out stand up comedy. However, he's an easy teacher and he loves the subject.

i had Mr. Kennedy for Am. History II and AfroAmerican History and he's fantsastic. i always looked forward to his class; discussion is encouraged and Mr. Kennedy provides a perspective on history that makes it relevent to issues of today. can't wait to have him for AmHistory I in the fall!

A very great professor hard but, you get something out of it. He is a very funny professor which makes the class interstead. Calls on people but, not that bad if you read the chapter or get the chapter outline out of your CD. If you participate a lot you will make an A. I had a B average on my tests got an A on the class. Do all he tells you and yo

Kennedy is a good teacher although he is kinda forgetful but very leniant

Hate history...LOVED this class!!!

If you take his course via TV study telecourse guide and you will pass.

Mr. Kennedy is amazing! He is my favorite proffessor.

Mr. Kennedy is the best!!!!!!!! I have much love and respect for this man. He may go off topic, but it's only to get his students involved in topics they can relate and comprehend. He cares and is leniant. I am definatley going to take him again.

I had him for two semesters and i really enjoyed his class... He gives you the questions for the essay's, you just have to look them up and them write a little about it. His class isn't hard at all. He does seem to like the girls more than the guys.. and sometimes he does come across as raist, but he is still a good teacher and i reccomened him...

Oh my God - this guy was incredible. Talk about blunt, but blunt with lots of knowledge. He is an excellent instructor and you will never fall a sleep in his class b/c its too live!

He is liberal and vocal and encourages debate. Not the easiest, but fun and informative. If you voice your opinion you will become his favorite. Easy A if you read the text.

I loved this class, very interesting and challenging. I wish the students would stop being so narrow minded and immature so we could enjoy the lecture. The teacher was adequately prepared for class discussion. I also enjoy his History Club. Keep up the good work!!

If you are in school to learn, Kennedy is the man. Not the easiest, but you will learn more history than you ever imagined. Great professor and very fair. He knows how to teach a class.

Wow - this was the hardest class ever. Kennedy is a great teacher and I learned tons of history, but it was done the hard way. Memorizing 80 plus pages every two weeks was insane. Lots of extra credit helped with the grade. Don't bother highlighting the book to help - you need to know every line and every word!

Hard class. Hard grading scale, 100-94 for an A. Did give plenty of EC to make up for scale. Holds you accountable for attendance. Requires alot of indepth reading, 80+ pgs every 2 wks, I recommend you read it twice so 160+ pgs every 2 wks. Any minute detail in the book is fair game on test. If you want an A YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK FOR IT!

I didn't think his class was very hard if you do all the reading. A lot of people think he's hard and unfair, but those are probably the same people who expect a detailed review for every single test and quiz in every class. It's college!! Put forth the effort! Other than that, he's pretty cool and very funny. I liked him a lot.

Please...the grading scale in Af Hist is straight 10pt scale(90-100=A). Yes, you have to read but his study guide is pretty accurate and to the test. This is college. You have to read once in a while. This class is worth a try for someone interested in another side of the USA, one that ain't pretty much of the time. Amazed more don't take it.

nothing short of amazing. yes there is a lot of reading to do, but this is college so suck it up. he makes the class fun and opens your mind to new things. he is funny to and always keeps the class alive. from what iv's seen students who dont like him tend to be the lazy not so good students in the first place. i highly recomend him.

the best teacher ever. Makes class fun and interesting.

He makes a lot of small projects due in the beginning, but it gets esaier as it goes along. He also gives pretty much what is on the test a few classes before, so just go to class, and you'll pass.

Kennedy is very funny, goes off topic but then goes back to the subject at hand with ease and doesn't get carried away. The semesters not over yet but I know I'm going to get a good grade cause he's cool and works with you. I'm taking him for AMH 1010 in the summer, can't wait!

I took him like three semesters ago and got an A. People complain about him, but the class I took was really easy. You could fail all exams and get a B with extra credit. Was funny and I don't know if I'm an overachiever, but the class was pretty easy and I sat in the back and hardly participated. Just read the book and you'll be fine.

Boring class, reviews the chapter that your supposed to have read before class. tests are really easy as long as you read. You go off on alot of tangents which is a nice break from history

He's definitely a fun teacher. While he asks for a lot of participation from the students he makes the class enjoyable. Fair warning though, their is a lot of writing in the class. Theres a six page paper that doesn't appear to be related to the subject and the exams are in essay format. If you can handle that take the class.

This teacher is Great! Those who do not like him just do not understand his psychology in getting people upset to see their reactions. He does have an obvious opinion but did not put those down who oppose his. He told stories and made the class interesting and allowed extra credit. You have to study, so dont take if you are lazy.

He is very knowledable over his subject. Has a passion for teaching, he breaks the ice with many laughs. Participating and voicing your opnions earn you brownie points. He likes to hear from EveryONE!!.. The more you engage yourself the better. the book is a must have! in order to pass the test you must read the chapters. fair grader.

Great professor. He is a virtual encyclopedia of history. His pyschology of teaching is great - he wants to get a rise out of his students to spark debate. Relates current events with history to help students understand. Very funny - cracks jokes all the time. I've heard from many students that they love him - they just haven't rated him here.

Great Teacher... Has a lot of knowledge. Very comprehensive, he was very nice, made the class fun, yes you have to read the book is must but overall the class was great. He is a very reasonable teacher and allows you to take exams if you miss them. I got an A in the class. Loved it.

great teacher! makes the class fun and interesting. Studying for tests is a must. Participate in class!

Hes a cool guy. i sit in the front row and he always talks to me. he does randomly pick students to stand up and give a speech about the chapter. i did it, its not hard. he applaudes effort. he really knows how to speak and make it interesting. you remember things without taking notes, i havent written anything down yet, and you only have 2 exams.

He's great if you know what your getting into. He does have a left political leaning and not afraid to share it. However, unlike other teachers he is open to debate and will even congratulate you if you have a well rounded counter-argument. He's funny, will play the devil's advocate and makes sure there is never a truly boring moment in class.

OMG! I loved Kennedy! He is such a funny teacher. Makes the class go by real fast...talks alot and involves studeets!!! Always has something interesting and funny to say! I'd take him again! GREAT teacher!

This professor is awesome. If you dont like going to class and still getting good grades you should take this class.

Kennedy is a very fun and sarcastic teacher, most lectures are more class discussion than anything and everyone can state there own opinion. He makes it known he is liberal but does not force his views. Midterm and Final are essays written in class which are easy and the only other grades are power point presentations and optional quizzes.

he is a good teacher

Kennedy is a great teacher. He really cares for his students and wants to see all of them succeed to the fullest. Read the chapters, do the weekly quizzes, and write great midterms and finals (2 questions 1-2 pages each if your an A student he says). Enjoyed my experience at MCC thanks to him.

I LOVE professor Kennedy!! He is one of the best teachers that I have had in my two years at MCC. Encourages students to participate during class and really cares about your opinions. He makes it a point to learn the names of all of his students and does his best to treat you like a person and not just a number.

Kennedy's class was super easy. As long as you read the chapters or even define the terms you will get an A. His tests are 20 questions once a week and very easy. He's kind of annoying with participation but I never participated and got an A.

Very cool with students, jokes around, but stays on topic at the same time. Applies current events to historical events. Doesn't embarrass students, understanding guy, knowledgable teacher, and gives you FYIs on the test.

I've been taking this class during 6 summer weeks, and it's been intensive, but fun as well. All the classes have been discussions. He's not your teacher if you're afraid to talk in class! We've had a quiz every Thursday, and they haven't been difficult - if you've read the chapters! I'd recommend him, and I'd be happy to take more classes with him

I've been taking Kennedy for Summer A and I find that he is one of the best professors I've encountered here. He's very fair; he reads you the material right from the test! Take your own notes at home and be prepared to speak in class and you'll do just fine. He has a liberal leaning but welcomes all intelligent debate.

Great! This guy is a comedian and i loved him. If u are shy don't take him & always be prepared to speak in class. I enjoyed every min. of class. I also met a friend :) so thanks mr. Kennedy i will always and forever remember your class. Keep up the great teaching style. UR gR3@t!

Great professor. Last semester he would give us four response questions from the book every two weeks, we would study them, and then he would pick 2 of them for us to write a page about each. (he counted them as quizzes) quizzes and class participation made the majority of the grade. This year he told us he would go back 2 multiple choice though.

Kennedy is a really funny guy! He definitely has "favorites", but does include EVERYONE in discussions. If you don't like talking I suggest you do not take this class, because a lot is about participation, and if you don't talk your grade goes down. My suggestion: ALWAYS AGREE WITH HIM! You will get a better grade!

He might be a little one sided, but it's a really easy class. read a chapter, talk about it, take a quiz. that's all you do. talk a little bit in class and you're good to go.

He is a fun teacher. Very animated! I took this over summer and it was pretty easy. The tests are based on his lectures and notes. Reading the chapter is mandatory.

Love him. One of the best at SCF!!

This man is a genius. He really cares about whether or not you "get it" rather than whether you make the grade. Has a true passion for his students. MUST take this professor for AMH 1 and 2.

Excellent teacher. Class Participation a must. Highly intelligent professor, loves what he does. Smokin' hot. ;]

Great Professor. You use the book a lot! Reading the material is mandatory but there wasn't any homework! All quizzes were essays but he gives you three topics to study and he picks two. Its awesome. You could skim the chapter before and probably get an A. Hes quite funny too! I would recommend him highly!

overall good! no homework AT ALL, just exams every 2 weeks, but you have to read your book! exams were essay form, so as long as you read your chapters, you will do fine! he really uses the book ALL THE WAY! instructor in funny too!

Great class! Kennedy is a hottie. It was nice to have something to look at during class discussion. Information was crystal clear. Make sure you read your chapters. That's the key to passing the class.

never gives homework. Test every 2 weeks. Have to read 1 chapter a week in textbook. Easy if you are able to read entire chapter and are able to put a great deal of detail into your tests, which are always essays. I found the class difficult mostly because I didn't have time to read the textbook. Hysterical teacher though.

Hysterical. Reading book is mandatory. test every 2 weeks. read one chapter a week. Never gives homework. Will get an A if you have the time to read the full 2 chapters and put a great deal of detail into your tests which are always essays. Class discussion is mandatory.

Mr. Kennedy, has a great since of humor. you have to read your book(i mean it!) to pass his quizzes. he often drifts off subject but is really cool.

Kennedy is a good teacher. If you read your book you should do well on his quizzes. He gave a multiple choice quiz every Friday.

Kennedy is by far the most entertaining professor I've had so far, and I learned a lot in his class. There's an essay test every two weeks, and you MUST read the book (like 80 pages per test) in order to succeed, or at least do some extensive research. There's also a 10 minute group presentation. Fun class, fun guy.

Very funny, but you must read the book. Great instructor, very fair, gets all involved.

He is the best.

Professor is a great guy, very funny and always trying to keep the class involved. However don't even bother taking notes in class, you don't cover anything thats going to be on the test. To get an A on his test you HAVE to read the assigned chapters.

Kennedy is very fun and active in class. If you do not participate, do not expect to pass the class. He will be taking Attendance, however you won't be taking any notes in class that will be on your tests. Long as you read the chapter and remember the details, you will pass the tests.

If you dont read the Text then there is no point to the class. He's there to talk about what you read so if you dont read it then its all F's for you.

You have to read the chapter to pass the tests but don't neglect your projects! Gives 4 projects and they can be on pretty much any topic you want within the time period of the class. DO THEM! They are not hard to do, I did most of mine the day before. Got mostly C's on the tests I actually took but all A's on projects and ended the course with a B

Excellent professor..not only does he know the material well, but he also knows how to teach it well. The class was very interesting.

People say that you HAVE to read the text book but I did for the first test and had way too much info in my head and got a C. The next couple of tests, I gave up on reading and just took good notes in class. He basically tells you the essay questions ahead of time. Then just go research it online. He loves when you use details that you found.

I took him for AMH1010 and AMH1020, and you can easily tell he knows his stuff. He did start assigning 2 article summaries a week, but for my first semester with him it was read the chapter, participate in lecture, and take a test on two chapters every other week. Don't be intimidated because they are 'essay' tests, it can be one long paragrapgh.

I love Mr.Kennedy! In my opinion, he is one of the best teachers at SCF. There is rarely ever a dull moment in his class. Kennedy really knows his stuff too and loves to school anyone who challenges him (which is soo funny). I recommend him to anyone taking history!

Took him for AMH 1 and 2. His sobriety is sometimes questionable, and his lectures can get boring. But he tries to make them funny sometimes. An essay test every two weeks on two chapters and sometimes an assigned essay in between and that's pretty much it. It's pretty easy for a History class- I recommend

He's a good teacher. He makes lots of jokes. The only down side is the tests. The tests are essays, so it REALLY requires that you READ the textbook. You also have to talk in class, so you can turn in an index card saying what you talked about. For some that was difficult but if you have an opinion or know some history, then you'll do fine on that

WEIRD GRADING SYSTEM: All grades are approximate. Ex: you get an A on a paper but never 92. He doesn't use angel. There 5 sections that he grades; attend., essays, tests, exams, & participation. He visually averages work from each section to get 5 letter grades. If of these 5 you get mostly A's, you get A, 3 B's or 1 C means you get a B, & so on.

He's a good teacher. There's a test every other class and they're only about 15 questions each so make sure you read the chapter's because he leaves little room for error. Professor Kennedy is very helpful, kind, and funny. I enjoyed his class.

Professor Kennedy is awesome. He really likes his students to be involved in class, but he does his best to make the topics interesting and really loves his subject. He was my favorite professor this semester. Make sure you read your textbook!

EASY! Read your book!!! If you don't read it you won't get the grade. I laughed a lot in his class.

Never a dull moment in his class. I never thought I would enjoy a history class as much as I enjoyed his. Very funny and energetic, loves when students share their thoughts and opinions. Very active teacher, not boring at all which is great for a history class. Tests are a breeze if you read the book. Easiest A I ever got. I really miss his class.

Professor Kennedy is funny and keeps you wide awake in class with his jokes. However the class does require you to read your book before a chapter test. Other than a good amount of reading the class is pretty simple!

Mr. Kennedy is a very funny guy and his lectures are very open. You will need to read your textbook though. I really did not like the way he does tests. Definitely a class where you always have to be prepared by reading. But he is overall a hilarious teacher and his lectures are never boring!

Easy if you read the text (super long chapters though). His tests are 2 two-page essays from like 8 prompts on the reading, but it actually doesn't have to be two pages long. Lectures are also interesting and kinda fun. Attendance isn't completely necessary but you should still go.

This guys is the best teacher ever. You will have exams every week but he indirectly tells you in class whats the exam on. Its basically write about a topic front and back paper and get A. You will never find a history teacher better than him. I highly recommend to take this class.

Read the book, participate in class, write about the topic A He is funny and really hints well to test topics. tests are hand written in class 2 page responses to prompts. (not a grammar freak) Length of paper does not matter write the details (he calls it "more") fun class.

Good guy tells you everything you need to know don't really have to read just listen tells you wats on the tests if u don't go he will mark you off and he grades if u answer questions in class solid guy

Excellent History Professor! Test are essay style ,however; just read at least three to four of the subtitles in the chapter and you will be prepare for his tests. Oh and he tell you what subtitles you will need to know for the test. Just pick two out of several and write about them in your words

Professor Kennedy is the best history teacher I have ever had. He makes topics interesting and relates them to present day. Make sure he knows your name by the end of the semester so you get participation points (worth 15% of grade). Tests are essay, and he is an easy grader as long as you write enough. Final was easy and clear too. Take him!

Great professor. His lectures are interesting and he's very helpful. His tests are essay style but you get to pick your own topics. If you don't like textbooks, don't take this class though. You have to read a chapter a week, but honestly, I never read a whole chapter. He's also hilarious. I would take anything he teaches.

Professor Kennedy by far has been my favorite teacher since entering college this semester. Getting an A in his class isn't very hard, just know a lot about 1-2 things within the chapter and be able to write essays on them. Participation is a large part of the grade so make sure you give your input in a lecture at least twice a week.

Kennedy is funny and very into history, classes are lively and you MUST participate. Huge part of your grade. For my class, the tests were all essay, and we had one every other week. You're supposed to really read the chapter thoroughly, but i never read and got an A. Not a hard class. 2 projects: easy A, 2 page essays. Taking him again next sem.

Mr. Kennedy is really awesome. He is not though at all. What was really hard for me was to participate in class, and participation is important for the final grade. Prepare to read and have exams every two weeks. You should know how to write 2 pages essays. If you put some effort, all you'll get will be As. He makes the rules clear from the start.

It was easy. There are papers to return but they are not hard at all.

He's an amazing teacher, i would definitely take him again. He's pretty easy, if you're good at history you don't need a book , tbh. it's basic knowledge, and he is straight to the point.

Great Lectures. Very knowledgeable guy. No surprises. Clear cut easy grading criteria. I'm going to take AMH1020 with him as well.

Professor Kennedy is funny and makes history interesting. His lectures go by really quick. You will have to write for the tests but if you read the chapters you will be fine. Museum or historic site visit, or in class presentation required. Good class.

Easy Class if you pay attention during lectures. Tests are written, however he tells you what you will have to write about so you'll be prepared. The lively lectures make it impossible not to learn. Funny and up to date on EVERYTHING political. Will take him again. I strongly recommend this class.

Kennedy is a great teacher. His lectures are long, he talks the entire class period but it's all great! He makes old history relevant, he knows how to relate problems to events that are happening now. He is very political and likes to hear back from students whether they agree or disagree with him. There are a lot of essays so prepared to write.

Best Lectures. Very passionate about history, and knows his stuff. Non traditional teaching style. Tests are written responses to the chapters read. Genius class. I learned and retained most of the information due to not just multiple choice testing. Take this class, read the chapters or points he gives in class, and get your A.

Great Class. One of the best professors at this school. I learned a lot. Easy A.

I see how people would hate him for an online class because he admittedly sucks at responding to email. However in his lectures he notes what to read specifically for the tests which are essay form and grades them very loosely. Hardly studied and got an A. Couple papers but pretty simple. Note what he says to read, read it, and you will pass.

Easy class if you read the chapters. He tells you ahead of time what will be on the bi-weekly tests. Two projects are simple and good for you. Visit places relevent to the time period and write an essay. I will take again. Read enough to be able to answer a question or two in class.

Listen to lecture, take notes, and sure to pass.

I very much enjoyed attending Kennedy's classes--he keeps things lively and his passion and knowledge on the subject rubs off on you. He isn't too tough of a grader as long as he sees you put a thorough effort in all of your tests and assignments, all of which are written. Keep up with your reading, write analytically, and it's a fairly easy class.

I am currently taking the 6-Week version of this course. The professor overall is very good, He is an easy grader, However this class is all essays, no multiple choice, assignments are essays, exams are essays. BE PREPARED TO WRITE AND BE PREPARED TO READ. This class is centered around the textbook so make sure you have it.

Professor Kennedy is amazing! He can be a little extra sometimes, but he is really passionate about history and about bettering his students. Get ready to read a lot though there is a test every two weeks on two chapters worth of text and all the tests are essay exams. But overall he's a really good professor who really cares about his students.

Took Kennedy for 1010 and 1020. Skim the chapter before class, speak up at least once during class, and always talk about gender, race, and main idea topics in your weekly tests. If you can't learn material without studying it first, Kennedy is for you. If you want an easy A with minimal effort, Kennedy is not for you.

I'm currently taking professor Kennedy's class which we only have 4 more chapters left. For the most part if you have a general idea of the material and you explain your answer in detail you should do well. You do have a exam bi-weekly and quizzes bi-weekly so be prepared. Overall easy class, planning on taking him for AMH 1020 over the summer.

Very funny, lots of reading, easy A. The tests are pick 2 out of 7 questions, right 2 essays on them.

Mr. Kennedy is a wonderful teacher. I learned more from him than any history teacher. He is hilarious and sometimes get off topic but always makes the class interesting. I recommend him to everyone who wants to take a history class. He is very helpful and explains the material well. He is not an easy A, but if you study the material you'll be fine!

Definitely my favorite professor this semester. I absolutely adore Kennedy. He's very good at making connections between current events and the material being covered in class. He's not shy about his liberal views, but he would never shame any student for sharing their views.

Lectures are simply going through the chapters and reviewing chapters. Professor Kennedy is hilarious and super understanding as long as you communicate your problems but doing the work is the only way you will pass and that is what i fell short on.

Great teacher would definitely taker him again. Very specific in what he wants, quizzes are easy. Attendance is mandatory in order to understand the lecture.

By far my favorite prof at SCF. Kennedy is funny, and has good insight on the history. (He's liberal btw) The class is a mix of lecture and discussion, and he connects the book with current US and world events. Work is medium, he expects you to understand esp as he reviews chapters in class. Weekly essays, and 12 comments. I only skimmed chapters

I took professor Kennedy for history, he was honestly the best history teacher i've ever had. One thing i hated though was that he never updated canvas so i wasn't able to see my grade till after the class was over. Lectures a lot. Both exams i took were super easy, he did not give any exam reviews. PAY ATTENTION! Take notes!!!

Professor Kennedy is a really funny guy. SUPER liberal but i really like him. His whole class is basically just reading the chapters and taking essay tests, but definitely listen during his lectures because he talks about key things in the chapter. Just get ready to read A LOT. But id defiantly recommend taking his class, he's fun and entertaining

Great teacher. He is liberal but it is an easy class if you read the chapters and do the assignments. I would take him again in a heartbeat but he is old fashioned and does not use canvas.

Professor Kennedy made you work for your grade. Getting an A is possible, but you had to dedicate a good amount of time to the class. Also, Professor Kennedy is great at presenting the class material.

I love Kennedy to death. He's like a cool uncle. I took his class last semester and taking him again this semester. Get ready to read each chapter of the book and write weekly prompt papers and the exams are essays as well. Definitely watched my fair share of people skip class and miss a lot of work. Would not advise. Do the work and show up!

He's a really cool guy. All you need to do to pass is read the chapters. The tests are about 6 questions, you choose two and then write a full page answering each question. So one side of a page per question. that's it. congratulations you passed the class.

Not a hard class. Buy the textbook, raise your hand to comment for participation credit. Weekly quizzes that required you to write a page worth of analysis. Do that & you'll get an A. No homework or tests. One project but not overwhelming.

Great teacher, and prepared good lectures, even tho this was an online class.

Kennedy was a good teacher, but entirely traditional. You didn't turn in anything online and will not know your grade until the very end of the year when it shows up on your transcript. There was a bi-weekly essay test that were always entirely from the textbook. Lots of reading and even more writing.

Kennedy was one of the greatest professors I have had throughout my academic career. Kennedy does a well good of keeping the material interesting, and even brings in his own humor. Class was based solely of the textbook and 2 chapters were assigned every 2 weeks. All tests were essay tests based on the chapters read the previous 2 weeks.

Professor Kennedy was hilarious and always made his lectures fun. His test are very easy, all they consist of is doing 2 questions and writing a summary of them front and back on 2 sheets of paper. His projects are also very easy as well.

He is a great teacher as long as you can follow given instructions. He is very caring too and allowed for me to make up some assignments that I had missed. He is veryyyy liberal but overall a great teacher!

Very nice and caring professor. Tests are essay questions but it is not hard and there are multiple to choose from. Would suggest reading the book to get more details but you will pass even if you just listen to his lectures. Would definitely take him again!

He was legit the coolest professor I took. His lectures are summaries of the book. I learned alot about history bc of him. Take him!

Very easy A, if you pay attention to due dates for projects. One of the easier classes Ive taken. There are just tests on every couple of chapters and theyre all essay tests so be ready to write. As long as you read the chapters before the tests youll do fine.

There is an exam every other week. You choose 2 essay questions and write 2 pages for each question. He was lenient in grading in my case but the exams are difficult if you dont read the text. He is also very left and tends to say some offensive things about people associated to the right so dont take this class if you will get angered by that.

Best professor ever. Very easy A. Only one test every two weeks and has a take home final. His lectures are so funny and easily my most favorite professor.

Very easy and very fun professor. Only a test every other week and the final is at home so there is almost no reason not to get an A in the class.

Hes a funny professor but hes very left and talks a lot about personal politics. His assignments are pretty easy but his grading is confusing. He never uses canvas or answers emails. He only gives letter grades for assignments and averages them out at the end of the semester. His lectures are very long but hes pretty entertaining.

No homework. Make sure to study for exams every other week. The final is writing 9 pages so if you would prefer questions with written answer take the online class. Class is lectures and you will have some projects. Like a video presentation, powerpoint, and a couple of papers. Overall, he is understanding about late work and grades well.

Amazing professor, i have learned so much from him and his class. He is so funny and knows how to keep the class entertained. there are a few projects but they are very easy and fun. There is a test every other week on two chapters but the test is easy if you just read the chapters.

Prof. Kennedy was awesome and always respected any personal issues that were to happen outside of class. He doesn't mind a few missed classes but will call you out if you miss a lot. He has an exam every other week on 1-2 chapters and each exam is a four page hand-written assignment that you must do in class with no notes. ITS HARD! but fun.

I enjoyed Mr.Kennedy's lectures. 10000% take him. Mr.Kennedy makes his lectures fun/enjoyable to watch. I took him both Spring & Summer semester and enjoyed both equally. There are essays but as long as you pay attention and write notes, you will be fine. 100/100.

Very straightforward. Would tell you what he wanted and even gave extra time to certain people. Be prepared for a lot of writing. I would say it's easy if you put in the effort, and you don't have to put in a lot. Very good lectures. I'm taking him again.

He does not go over material but tells you exactly what is on the test. Most of the time you won't even need to read the full chapter. Unapologetically far left and you will never know what he is about to say. Not a harsh grader at all. Loves uniqueness and personality in his students and wants them to express it in their projects. funny and nice

His lectures were great because he would basically give out what he was going to put on the test, but sometimes he would just talk about his political viewpoints. The test was 2 essays about 1/2 pages each. He tries to assign weekly essays, but sometimes forgets to assign them. He is a pretty easy grader, and final was online and in essay format.

I would take Kennedy again, I had him for AMH 1010 and 1020 and I loved it! He makes the lectures fun and will be understanding and caring if you're a good student and do the work. However, the class is heavy writing and has a lot of papers so if you aren't a fan of writing it might be hard, but he takes late work, and the papers are easy.

Talks a lot about politics but that is to be expected from a history class. Very straightforward class & professor, nothing too difficult or out of this world if you are paying attention to class and doing what you are assigned to do. Recommended it if you don't mind hearing different opinions/perspectives on political subjects.

He is extremely chill, and I personally like how his tests are essay based, because I suck at "normal" tests. However, he goes on political tangents instead of talking about what is on the test lol. He tends to be a little unsensitive at times (against jewish people and LGBT people) but I know he means well. I am taking him again for AMH1020.

Professor Kennedy's class is not that hard if you have a decent background on american history. The class is structured on a 2 week schedule: 3 classes of the professor reading over notes (he will tell you the exact prompts for the tests!!) and then a class for tests. The test is 2 papers each being a page front and back. The essays are graded easy

he often gave a lot of papers and every other week on wednesdays he gives a test which is pick two prompts and the write a two page essay which i can understand why someone wouldn't like. he is sometimes about 5 mintues late to class but if you're up for the writing its a easy class.

Professor Kennedy's class can be treated like a study hall. Expect to write 2 essays every other week as "tests" and occasional projects. Nothing is graded inside class hours, and none of the writing is proctored. As long as you can write on history and it seems like you know what you are talking about, this class is an easy A.

people don't like his " rants" but if you listen to what he is actually saying and not take it personal it has a lot to do with current events , 4 projects in class all due before the semester is over which are pretty easy projects, easy grader, his test are two one page essays which are on prompts you pick. he will tell you what is on the test

Professor Kennedy's class has a lot of writing, but if you engage with it, the lectures are worth attending. Use unstuckstudy AI and the free textbook to prep - it saved me time and helped me earn a solid grade.

This class is very manageable, clearly gives out what content will be on tests. Tests consist of 2 separate 2 page papers, with on option of about 10 different writing points on 2 chapters. He is very engaged with students, pretty funny guy. This is an easy A.

A lot of work but it's easy. He doesn't really do lectures just tells you what to read up on for the test, test every 2 weeks, 2 essays, in person. Weekly discussion posts, oral presentation, project, 5 min video etc. a LOT of work. Mostly self taught course!!!

10/10 class experience! It's very essay heavy but, it's fairly easy if you read the chapters in the book. He gives you most of the topics that's going to be on the test. The "test" is two separate two paged essays about the chapters. I would not recommend not if you're very sensitive to different point of view of today's issues and cracking jokes.

This was the easiest class I've ever taken. He tells you what will be on the essay exams and what chapters you need to study. As politics is a part of history, he will talk about the current political climate. As a queer POC, I never felt uncomfortable. Everything is straightforward, I highly recommend this class if you want an easy A.

I honestly loved Kennedy. A lot of people argue that he goes on political rambles in class a lot, but if your mature about that sort of thing, it really doesn't affect the class. Kennedy is super understanding and he assigns many little assignments throughout the semester with tests every other week. It's pretty managable overall. Super funny guy.

Professor Kennedy is a great professor and great at his job! He does say things some may take offense if too sensitive so if that's you don't take his class. He teaches by making jokes and comparing old history to pop culture or funny recent things to help students grasp it better I feel like. I would recommend him!

There is pretty much 2-3assignments a week. Lots of writing but his instructions are clear and it's an easy A if you turn in good work. And make sure you don't use AI.
