You'll love him! He made everything interesting. Funny, and very easy to understand.
Great class, I got a B but I deserved an A.
Great professor, extremely informative and funny, though you kinda gotta know when to laugh (he does voices). In all seriousness, his quizzes are outrageously easy, so much so you'll think some are trick questions. Test essays are 2 pages. Its a lecture course and very interesting. He's passionate, engaging, and wonderfully outrageous.

great Professor, loved his lectures.
Professor is very funny and makes learning the material extremely easy. Has a very funny sense of humor that he uses everyday in class. Tests are are short in length but cover the most important material. Great Professor, I would recommend to anyone!
He is super amazing...He is so funny....I enjoy every class and hate to leave unlike any of my others. Take Him you will laugh till you cry
Great instructor, very entertaining! At times his class resembled a standup routine, but politics can be ridiculous so he enjoys making fun of it. He told us at the beginning of class that we wouldn't need our text book. He had all the notes we needed up on the Smart Board during class. He talks fast so get ready for hand cramps!
Keneally is probably the best professor to have. This is my second class with him. He doesnt require use of the book and pretty much tells you whats going to be on the test. He's so funny..discussions made class fun to go to
AWESOME teacher! He makes class worth getting up for and actually attending. He keeps class interesting and all of his test come from his notes. Well put together teaching and tests. I would recommend everyone take him if possible.
I love this man!! He makes you want to come to class just to see what he says in lecture. The notes are on powerpoint and the tests and quizzes are directly from the notes..So if you fail, that is just because you are lazy. I would love to take Keneally again!!!!
ONE of the best classes I have had at TNCC received a B, but learned a lot in his class. He is very exciting instructor keeps the class upbeat. Keep up the work Keneally,
Knows his stuff but lacks control of the class. I paid to take this class from a professor, not from a classmate. Discussion is fine when it relates to the subjet matter, but usually gets off topic. Wish the professor would gain control over the class.
he is the BEST teacher I have had at thomas nelson. it was my first class of the day and i always enjoyed going. hes funny and keeps you interested in the topic at hand. i would def recommend him to anyone. im taking him again next semester. his tests are not hard at all and theres never any homework.
keneally is the man!!!!!!!!!!
the class was controlled, the best way to learn and stay interested is to talk about it and politics always generate strong opinions.
Great teacher! Keeps everything interesting and keeps all the lectures fun. Enjoy attending this class. Quizzes/Tests are a little hard, but there's a lot of information to study. His grading is in your favor.
Prof. Kennaly is fricking hillarious! He keeps us entertained and informed. The tests are multiple choice right out of the notes so if you do poorly you have issues. He is not just a stand up comic, he is knowledgable and has lived everywhere. He has tons of stories relevet to the lessons. Take his class if you have a chance!
very entertaining professor. full of random tidbits related to government and such. always cracks the class up.
A true teacher. Worthy of a position at a decent 4 year institution. Research paper was interesting to write.
extremely great professor! very helpful, and EXTREMELY funny, makes the class that much more enjoyable! :)
You will not want to leave his class it's over. He says "Alright I've bored you guys enough", but he never has a dull moment. He keeps the classes always very interesting, I don't think I've had a prof done it better yet! If you study the notes and take extra notes, you should not have trouble getting a good grade.
Had a great class and will most likely take another of his classes this summer. Very funny and interesting. He keeps the class moving and his teaching style is very light. You will enjoy any of his classes. If you get below a B then you are a loser!!!!
Mr. K is a great teacer. The classes are fun and interesting. Good sense of humor while conveying the information. Highly recommend this class.
The best teacher I've had at TNCC. He is funny, and keeps you entertained all class while still teaching you the material.
BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD!!!! Funny, Relevant, (EASY A) doesn't rely on the textbook and instead relies on other professor's inquiries (as well as his own understandings of the situation). Just make sure you take notes in class, study them, and you'll pass the test. Only hard part is the paper. (DON'T USE WIKIPEDIA! HE KNOWS!) Awesome professor!
Professor K is very funny. Try to participate in his class as often as possible. Learning this subject was very fun for me and his quizzes/tests can be easy if you study his notes and read the book. He is also great at helping you if you do not understand. I asked him questions all the time. He is quick at replying to emails!
Very helpful and enthusiastic. You can tell he knows his stuff and he makes learning it easy.
I absolutely loved having him as a professor!
One of the best teachers I have ever had in my entire life. He truly has a passion for teaching and will always help you. He's funny too!
AWESOME!! Knows his stuff and is funny. Must attend class to take notes. I would recommend him!
Great teacher! He is funny and has a true passion for what he teaches. Very knowledgeable and keeps you engaged. Take notes in his class!!
I had him last year. His class was so funny. I had no information on the class coming in. If you come with an open mind, you'll enjoy his class. He always drinks soda
He is very helpful, simply awesome.You need to study, especially for the in class essays, he will give you the topic before the test, read that chapter and practice what you want to write about before you write the essay. It is not that easy but you can do it for sure. He is funny, very intertaining, and easy going person =) He is amazing!
Take notes, be at his classes and study for the test that is all you need. He is a very funny professor!
Awesome guy! Great professor. Attend his class take the notes, study, you will do fine! Very good guy, also very funny! Makes the subject very interesting!
Great professor! MR.K is the bomb, you will love any of his classes.
Walked into class and loved him right away. Crystal clear notes. Defiantly keeps class interesting and the information stays will you. My favorite this semester by far.
I LOVE this teacher. He made political science so fun, interesting, and engaging. I took him for two semesters and I would have loved to take him for a third. He will help you if he can and he really wants you to succeed. The only way you can do badly in this class is if you don't do anything at all. Study, study, study (but not too hard)!
I really care very little about political science. But Mr. K kept me interested in class. The way he views politics is entertaining, and in my opinion accurate. He is very fair, and helpful if you have questions. TAKE GOOD NOTES. You do need to study for his class, but questions are straight forward. Not "easy". Challenging but no surprises.
He works with you. I missed several days due to my children being sick and he was very understanding. It was easy to learn. Some material isn't for the faint of heart, but he warns you before presenting the material. He tells you what to study and what written portion needs to be. You can only fail if you don't try.
Best professor ever!! He is very funny and class is very laid back. Never once opened the text book; everything is straight from his notes (which are very easy to read). He made the class interesting and kept my attention. Review for quizes and do the papers and it's an easy A.
Mr Kenely was a fantastic teacher. I loved every minute of the class. He has a lot of experience with the subject as he has lived in many places. He loves to lecture and his students lived to listen. He gave off the impression of a fun uncle. Awesome guy, will be looking to get classes with him in the future.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Hilarious, yet he connected his humor into his varied experience and knowledge of the topics to provide a fun learning experience. I enjoyed his classes and the work was rather simple. As long as you took notes and worked diligently his class was easy. I would take his class again.
I absolutly love his class he made the world of politics more interesting his tests were easy enough never touched the book AT ALL his notes are very straight forward if u study and do his paper then their should be NO reason u cant get an A
Ivy League Professor at a community college. Absolutely outstanding. Nuff said.
This dude is funny as hell and his notes are well organized. never used the text book only like 3 quizzes entire semester
Professor Keneally is by far the best professor I've had in TNCC so far. He is a very funny and makes the subjects he teaches even more interesting. His quizzes and tests are very simple if you pay attention and write down his notes. We never needed the text book. I really want to take a class with him again and I highly recommend him to anyone!
LEO! He is the best professor i have ever had. So funny and nice. As well as his class is pretty simple and easy. No textbook needed, notes are all he goes by.
great professor. He enjoys teaching and makes his class fun. Makes you think. You do not need the book Save your money. Take notes and you'll be fine.
wonderful professor. willing to work around your needs in the class. definitely take him!
A master professor of political science; he kept me engaged with reflective commentary despite my setbacks; provided desirable comments on tests and paper; employed many National Public Radio features to bring home understanding of weekly subject topics related to international relations.
Mr. Keneally is a phenomenal teacher! He knows Political Science and loves to talk about it. Class surrounds taking notes, watching videos, and relating what you are learning to real world events. I've taken all three classes he offers at TNCC and I just wish he taught more.
Prof Keneally is hands down one of the greatest professors I've ever had. As a Political Science major, I found this class extremely interesting. He helps students relate to current political situations by showing videos and looking up articles. I would definitely recommend this professor to anyone!
he was amazing , i would totally recommend him
Great professor! I went the whole semester without a book so don't waste your money because he post the notes online to help you with your quiz and test. Only 1 paper required for the semester. I would definitely take his class again!
Knows his subject matter; knows how to bring theory and make it applicable to topics; you will never forget his style of lecturing--He is the professor to take as a political science major !!!
4 quizzes. multiple choice and essay question. Show up to class and pay attention to the videos because the essays are based on them. Great teacher with a great attitude. Take him if you can.
This is one of the best classes I took at TNCC. He is an awesome professor who makes world politics less boring. He tries to keeps the topic interesting through humor and life experiences while still giving students an opportunity to learn the topics in his course. I highly recommend this class!!
Mr. K was awesome. He is hilarious during his lectures and makes learning about what can be easily a touchy subject into something you look forward to going to class everyday. Mr. K is a big reason I am majoring in Political Science now.
My favorite teacher ever and I've been here at a university for a long time. I still think about how great his class was and how no university teachers I've had yet compare to him.
Professor Keneally is overall a stand up guy and you will leave at the end of the semester with beyond useful knowledge. Lectures are a good, he answers your questions clearly, and he relates it all to current events. I suggest you choose this Professor (I had him back to back for two classes) but you MUST attend class and study the notes.
I have taken 2 of his classes and am taking his third as my elective next semester just to have another class with him. He is by far the best professor I've had at TNCC. He has a way of making even boring material interesting, and we always end up laughing during his lectures. No book needed, his notes cover what you need to study to pass his tests
All the tests come straight from the lectures. He brings in current events and real life situations to explain lectures and ideas. Very entertaining.
Taking notes will get you through this class. Awesome professor
I have taken Professor K for 2 different classes and he is by far one of my favorite professors! He posts all notes online, but he does take attendance.
I took Prof K for 2 of his classes and I highly recommend him. The best professor I've had. No book needed, everything you need to know is in his lectures. He puts the slides on blackboard, which makes it easy to print out and follow along and makes even the most boring topics interesting by using current issues as examples. Take him if you can!
Taken Professor Keneally twice at TNCC. His classes are interesting and enjoyable to learn. Does not require book most topics for tests are in his lectures and on BB. I have two essay questions within the semester usually during midterm and final exam always provides examples. Overall highly recommended.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He really made the class interesting and made lots of jokes about whatever he was teaching that day.. I was nervous about taking this course but he made it enjoyable and easy to understand. I'd definitely recommend him as a professor.
fun fun fun class. read the chapter outline that he gives you and that is all you need. tests based on his lecture and the outlines, one research paper 2essays
Professor Keneally is an excellent instructor who makes the subject very interesting and fun. He teaches just the facts and doesn't try and teach you his political opinion like some other professors. He really cares about the topic and his students and it shows every day in class.
Professor Keneally is truly a well-rounded, down to earth teacher. Makes lectures fun and interesting. Grade based mostly on exams; make sure to take good notes to study. Took him during the 2016 election and there was always something to discuss in relation to the real world. Multi-faceted teaching aspects including video, lecture, and laughs!
He's a really nice guy, he's smart, his lectures are interesting, and he's funny. Don't even buy the book, we literally never used it. There weren't that many graded assignments but the assignments weren't overly difficult if you studied.
Professor Keneally is truly one of the best professors at TNCC. He always makes class enjoyable, even when you have him first thing in the morning. His quizzes and tests come easily if you study the outlines that he puts up on blackboard. he also puts in grades almost immediately, so there is a plus.
He was a good professor who made an effort to make the class entertaining, although sometimes he was a little much. Tests and quizzes were very straightforward, just read the notes on blackboard beforehand and you'll be fine--although there were only 2 tests the whole semester, so be careful (also 2 quizzes and 1 paper).
Professor K is the best,he brings Political Science to life. I Love him hes the best. Take his class you will enjoy it from the beginning to the last day. Review his notes you will pass.
He is absolute the best. NO REGRETS!!!!
He makes all of his lectures entertaining. I enjoyed coming to class
Pro Leo is a great great teacher. I wish I can have him in all my classes. His exams are really easy come straight from his notes that he posts on blackboard. Study his notes, and trust me you will do fine. If you dont get at least B, something wrong with you. You must take him if you want an easy A.
I took this class as an elective and i wish i could take it every semester. go to class and you. will. do. fine. You know a great professor when you see it and this man is the epitome of one. He can make the most inane and boring topics seem like youre watching Breaking Bad
Professor Keneally is a professor who knows a lot about the subject matter while also being passionate. His lectures are entertaining and he always pulls real world events into it, making students become well-versed with the world around them.
Professor K was one of a kind. His tests and quizs come straight from the notes and if you study and pay attention in class you can earn at least a B. Show up to pass. Wish I could have him in all my classs.
Great professor. If you want this class to learn the subject, maybe not. He digresses often and it's like learning from an op ed piece. (a non biased one) But you will get the basics on the subject and it's a wonderful break among tedious classes. It's a fun class, easy to pass, and very relevant to the world around you no matter your major.
Leo Keneally is one of the best professors I've had in a while. He has a very clear grading rubric and tells you what he expects straight up. There are only 2 tests, 2 quizzes, 1 paper and attendance for your final grade, so that means no wiggle room. He uses his notes on his test and quizzes. Overall a true gem. Score 9/10
Can this man be my professor for every class???? The ratings say it for themself. He is the best. Quiz's and tests come from the notes and they are supper easy to memorize. Very laid back and chill but only if you do what you're told. Only two quiz's, two tests, final paper and attendance points for the whole semester.
Professor K is by far the best professor I ever had. Hes able to break the government down Barney style and he makes sure the students understands. He likes to match the energy of the class so the more enthusiastic you are the better the class will be.
He is great to explain things clearly.
Took this as a synchronous class, slept through all lectures and still got an A (course material comes naturally). The few lectures I did watch, the professor was super funny and entertaining and was always super nice when I reached out. Anyway, easy A with lots of humor!
Pretty solid, class was really easy and straightforward and he does a good job of explaining concepts. There isn't a lot of assignments, and every assignment is very straightforward and it's clear what is expected.
Professor K is the best teacher! I had him twice as a professor and he was great. He enjoys what he teaches and you can tell. If I could take him again I definitely would!! Since I was in person attendance was mandatory but if you could not make it he was very understanding!
10 out of 10 ... TAKE HIM! You will learn some important life information and get real-life examples. completely relatable.
To many links ... not a good ppt to read
Very funny guy that always cracks jokes, and keeps the gov class up to date with relevant events that relate to the units. Barely any work, just the unit tests and discussions.
Hands down the best professor I've had at VPCC. He makes the material make sense by using current events as examples. He always answered questions in a way that really helped me understand them. He's very animated and passionate which made his lectures very easy to pay attention to. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to take a gov class.
One of the worst professors I have ever had. Very hard grader. He seems to direct his class with the intention for you to fail. I had to cram information into my head to pass. And because of that, I didn't really learn. He did not give enough time for quizzes and made them more difficult. Super stressful. Whatever you do, don't take him.
Easy to listen to, made boring concepts interesting and wanted students to understand concepts. Only complaint seems a little slow with online matters, however 0 complaints everywhere else.
