best teacher at sdsu, loved her

incredible teacher, fun class, wants you 2do well& understand material

VERY funny but assignments are pointless and she can be unclear at times

Wonderful Lady! Changed my life! A little scatter-brained, but great!

Interesting teacher.Makes u think.Boring assignments.Fun class

She is great! I learned so much, and she was so helpful, wants you to succeed!

Coolest Teacher I have Had! Be Prepared for a different kind of learning xpernce

shes crazy n funny! class was never boring...n shes a gOOd teacher!!

funny lady, easy class, makes learning fun, highly suggest you take this class!

good luck registering in her class

Great teacher. Don't take anyone else for this course! A really fun class!

UNPREDICTABLE upbeat laughs a lot teacher! you dont realize she's lecturing you because it seems like a normal interesting conversation. i want her for my RWS 200 for sure!

Great teacher, great lady, i only got a B, but its was fun and educational, dont take anyone else

She's a really cool teacher. Chances are you wont get and A, but all the other 290 teachers suck so you might as well have a good time.

She's wonderful! Enjoyable lectures. Learned a lot towards future plans. Let her know you; will get a better grade. She's the best from other IDS 290 prof's. Take her!!

organization could use some work but she is a very easy teacher. you can turn stuff in late and she wont care. do well on the in class writings and you will get a good grade. She likes really outgoing, talkative people.

GOOD CLASS. TAKE IT DURING THE SUMMER.

One of the best professors I've had at SDSU. She teaches well and is willing to go out of her way to help you learn. I highly recommend taking her for this class.

awesome teacher.awesome class.really funny and outgoing.her class was my favorite so far at state.assigns good work not busy work.cares about what you want or feel you need out of the class.very open to suggestions.very helpful.very easy but informative.

I am not the best student in English but I received a B. Really easy class. Not that many essays. Really funny. Not a lot of work at all.

AWESOME AWESOME person! A very real and honest person. Not worried about being PC. I absolutely love her views of the world and society. And if you like punk and industrial music you'll love her.

smart, crazy lady. very fun. learns your name quickly. talk to her in class. she'll like you more, and you might get a better grade. do all your assignments (which arent very many) or she'll turn against you.

Crazy but great teacher. Take her class, you won't regret it.

good teacher

Nicest lady. Makes for good conversation and likes to help one out. YOu'll only get a bad grade if you're lazy. Loved her!

One of the best teachers at State. Makes class fun and does not try to make students do too much. Final paper is only 5 pages.

Crazy lady! She's cool and smart though. Tough grader. But if you listen and do what she asks for, you'll be fine. You'll learn a lot!

Very good teacher. Not a hard class, but not an easy one either. Just do the work the way she wants you too. I definately recomend taking her

She is the best. Its hard to get an A. She shows you the stuff you will need to actually use in the future

Take her for IDS 396W. She may be off the wall, but she explains, grades fair, likes teaching, smiles, is not LL, and makes the class fun instead of pain. You would be crazy to take anyone but her for IDS 396W (or 290 for that matter).

GREAT TEACHER. The class is not boring at all. You will actually learn, and get something out of it. She is one of the best teachers I've ever had.

This woman is absolutely hilarious. Tons of energy. Fun class. She cares about you and your future..wants to help you. No tests, just reports. your grade is based on how complete your work is. Everything you learn is useful info.

funny lady but very vague with instruction and calendar, lots of off-topic discussion, can be crazy at times. fairly easy though...

All I can say is, this lady is a fireball in a sky of stars. Very funny, and she actually cares about her students. It's also nice to have a class with less than 500 students.

fun class. very different to other business requirement classes and professors. She's funny. her goal is for you to pass. No exams, just reports.

Awesome professor. Hilarious! First class that has actually taught me skills for the real world. She cares about you and wants you to succeed. No tests, just reports. Fun group project.

Intelligent, intellectual, incredible... tricks you into learning the material, makes you work and makes the class worthwhile! Everyone should take her class before graduating! She enlightens her students! Highly recommended!

Even if you are her favorite you wont get a good grade!! Her grading criteria is awful!! The class is lots of fun…

I had mixed feelings about this class. Sometimes it was easy and sometimes it wasn't. Very vague in her expectations. You learn a lot though. Recommend.

Martha is a fantastic teacher. What you take out of that class is what you put in. Very subjective grading, not an easy A... However, easy workload, write a few essays that you can go wherever you want with.

cool professor and very laid back. very helpful. 3 timed writing tests, some hw assignments, 2 group papers. pretty easy and she makes the class fun.

Martha is a great teacher that really cares for her students. I took her for both 290 and 396 and the classes are fun and entertaining, but you have to work for your grade. Highly recommended :o)

Highly recommended. She cares about her students. Has a unique style of teaching that actually works. Take her class and visit her office hours if you are having problems. If you need 396W, take her!!!

Most of the class she goes through interesting stories, and you have great conversations. If you want an easy C this is your class, but SOOOO hard to get an A. She doesn't teach much of the material, so its hard to see what she wants in the papers. I just didnt know what to do, felt helpless.C

Not easy. Teacher tries to make you think but not always sure what. Hard to get A, but I learned a lot. Kind of out there. Go to office hours. She'll help you.

Fun Teacher. Class doesn't drag. Will let you go early when finished with the leason. Tough to earn an A but a B is do able.

She is an excellent teacher and a tremendous person. If you're expecting an A, be ready to work very hard. Never a dull moment. What a ride.

She was an awesome teacher! The class was challenging but worth it in the end. I would take her again. Have do to the work, but as long as you get on her good side you're good.

All I have to say is that if you want an A, you will have it if your willing to put the time and effort. If you did not get an A, you either should have asked for help or met with the teacher before hand...dont complain!! Next time, ask for help. Ms. Kennedy is always available and willing to help.

Awsome teacher but difficult class. Writing exams are basic and don't require much more than learning structure. Projects are pretty hard but not impossible. I liked class and the teacher however I wished I got a better grade. I'll put it this way you will either love her or hate her it just depends on your personality and what you consider funny.

Martha is great and her class got me through the semester. Her humor and attituded always put me in a good mood. The reports can be difficult, but TALK TO HER - she helps a lot. Besides the reports, there is barely any homework. Take her, you walk away with a new perspective most classes don't provide. I would take her again in a heart beat.

Easy class, very relaxed, Martha is nuts but that's what makes the class so great! Group projects are simple, get in a group w/ people you like & the class will be fun. 3 timed writings, not bad @ all, she'll tell you what they could possibly be on. Quizes are done in groups, this class is a joke!

martha is a cool person. she is laid back and easy to talk to. during class you don't do much at all. she seems to be confusing at first but then you get why at the end and its all good. i got a B.

Very nice, funny lady. She is also very helpful if you initiate. Most difficult grader I have ever had and if you don't go for help... me. You will probably get a C.

Martha is a fine professor who is genuinely interested in sending you on your way with the writing skills that you will need in the business world. Actually, she's an advocate for her students. She warns you of dull assignments that don't turn out to be such a drag after all.

Best professor I had in SDSU. I had a great time and gained lots of knowledge. Loved her class. Thanks Martha

I'm totally convinced she's a stoner and grows weed out in east county. Overall great teacher

Martha is a witty and wise woman. Although she doesn't know it she touched my life in a profound way!!!! Amazing!!!!

Very quirky prof. Her lectures are entertaining; but you still learn a lot. Take her class if you don't mind putting in the work. One lecture she showed a pwr pt. of her frog sitting in a blender--- I told you she was quirky:)

Learn a lot of great business techniques which is why you are taking the class. Her grading is hard, but you learn a lot and she has fun with you!! Good professor!

I disagree with all the prior comments. Her class is energizing and she makes the subject fun. She really wants you to learn, is always willing to help, & values creativity. Martha is one of the best professors I had & I know many others who feel the same. Class isn't unnecc. hard, but put forth effort to learn & get good grade. Inspiring person.

Frustrated a lot of the time, but when I went to her for help I got it. She wants her students to think for themselves to solve problems. It's just different than I was used to, but she will help you and you won't just get a grade, you'll learn something. Final exam was not easy.

THe reason why she answers idirectly, is because the main part of the class is finding the answer on your own, thats how the real world is and she is trying to prepare you for it. I learned the most in this class than any other! This class is the best for IDS 290 TRUST ME! Get her! Its a fun class too! I miss her joking around with her!

martha is one of the best teachers i've had here! i looked forward to going to class because it was so entertaining. some of the projects were useful and i learned a lot more than i thought i would. there's no regular homework assignments which is nice. if you like eccentric people, take her! she's a cool lady :)

one great teacher. makes ya think. entertains you. dumbs all the assignments down by practically writing your intro's(only if you ask her to help you though). Take martha, but good luck getting into the class because it fills up so quick

Martha is an EXTREMELY nice lady and genuinely cares about her students. The only issue I had with her class is that she has to have a quota for the department so its VERY difficult to get an A in her class. Not very hard to get a B, but she does give out a lot of Cs because she has to. If you can take her class.

Good teacher in a university full of bad ones. I highly recommend taking Martha if you're an IDS major. She isn't pretentious like most English instructors.

Great prof. She can be vague in class but it's intentional. She wants you to do well and she wants you to ask her questions- Don't blame her because you're too lazy to look something up in the book. The key to getting a good grade- Use what you already know! We've all dealt with memos, good/bad news messages even if you don't realize it.

She's CRAZY! but makes class interesting and the stuff you learn you will need later on. Ask questions, and talk to her, she'll tell you what you need. go to office hours, she'll help you out more than in class. we only used the book about the first 3 weeks of class.

I love her! She's a lot of fun and keeps the class entertained! I thought I was going to have a better grade, though. Our "timed writings" are based on what SHE thinks is correct, which is annoying, but the projects weren't too hard.

SHE IS NUTS! I love it! Martha has a ritual of showing up late for every class but it is excused because she has (had) a bum hip. Just show up everyday and talk, that is all she really wants. Maybe she is lonely? JK, but take her!!!!

I never learned so much in a class! I was a little nervous the first day becuase she's very different, but as the semester went on I learned a lot. She wants you to solve problms yourself -- but she'll help you if you ask. Fun class and I'm already using the stuff at work.

I took Martha a few years ago I took her for one english class and ended up taking her for 2 other classes. Yes she is out of it someitmes, but she's a very caring person. I hihgly recommend her class. She loves nature, and her dogs bring that up and you'll earn some points with her.

Martha is awesome! She has a very unique approach towards teaching...and she is very knowledgable about the subject! Every assignment is counted the same. However she's a hard grader. Don't be intimidated by the syllabus and the due dates...she will likely change them. OVerall great teacher for IDS 290. Got a B in the class.

Best Professor I have taken at SDSU. She really cares about her students. Very clear and if you dont understand ask her and she'll help.

Martha is a brilliant lady with an excellent approach to teaching her classes the material. You're guaranteed to laugh at be at ease in this class. A small handful of quizzes, minimal homework, one exam (final). One of the most useful classes at SDSU. I definitely recommend taking Martha!

best ids teacher! learned a lot, really useful class. shes personable and relaxed, fun class. quizzes are graded easy, BUT grades projects unecessarily hard. Pretty much a guaranteed B, probly impossible to get an A cause grading is so off, but shes cool. Get on her good side! i dont think she really grades by points, just what she wants to give u

Great Teacher! Go to office hours for help on all the projects because she grades extremely hard if it's not set up the way she likes. Good class, you learn a lot, and very interesting.

Professor Kennedy is AWESOME! I had no prior knowledge, but learned a ton. One of the assignments you plan the coming years of your life, by far the most useful assignment I have ever done in college. Although challenging and impossible to get an A, very useful and HIGHLY recommended!

First of all, this class has a very unusual structure and unlike anything you have taken before. You interact more as peers than as a student/teacher relationship. Im not sure I liked it but she was able to get her weird examples across to us. I learned some things but I am kind of frustrated what was required for an A. Easy C but forget the A.

teacher is cool. Impossible to get an A but easy to get a B. Make sure you see her in office hours about projects. Only 2 projects. Attendance is not mandatory. You use the book but not all the time. I suggest splitting the cost with a classmate.

Prof Kennedy is cool. Very helpful and understanding. learned how to format important business messages, and she pretty much cut all the other unimportant crap. Only complaint is that her grading policies/ requirements are unclear, and she does not reply to student emails. Still very highly recommended.

FREAKING HILARIOUS LADY! CLASS LAID BACK, BUT DON'T THINK ULL BE HANDED AN A! CLASS FOR REAL LIFE, DEF APPLICABLE! ITS TRUE, SHE DOESN'T GIVE U THE ANSWER, BUT U LEARN A LOT. TESTS R SUPER EASY! 3 TIMED WRITING! FINAL PROJECT-CHOOSE GOOD STUDENTS-ASK QTNS.

I loooved Martha Kennedy! She's super chill & funny. I really enjoyed this class because it teaches you material you're going to use in every-day life & in the future. She can be a bit unclear at times, but she's good overall. IDS was probably my favorite class last semester if i had to choose....

MAK-DAWG is pretty much amazing. The course rigor is not high, but the things she teaches can be applied to everyday life. With her, it is all about making the vague clear on your own. She is very personable and caring. I actually looked forward to coming to this class, not just because it was stacked with beautiful girls. For IDS290, take Kennedy.

Not as bad as everyone makes her out to be. Yes, she isn't clear all the time, but people who didn't pass over-thought everything. You'll do fine if you just do what she asks and NOT over-think everything. Final project super easy compared to the other ids 290 teachers.

Martha Kennedy has an unusual teaching style, but it is incredibly effective. At the time you are taking her class, it is frustrating, but be patient. The information I learned from her is so practical and useful in the business world! I highly recommend this class.

MARTHA ANN KENNEDY ROCKS! She is one of the funniest people you will ever meet. I don't see why people rip her to shreds. She isn't clear b/c that's how the business world is! If you are looking for an easy A, she won't give it to you. If you want a positive (and entertaining) experience, you can't go wrong with her.

If you actually want to learn something that will help you be successful in the business world and in LIFE, take her! Don't bs this woman, she knows what shes doing... even when you thin she nuts

Martha is one of the nicest teachers I've had at State. She can be a little vague about directions but is always willing to help after class and will even review resumes. The concepts learned can will actually be used in the real world. Attendance is necessary, book not needed. I've never had so much fun/laughed so much in a class before :)

She is a very helpful teacher, at first she may seem difficult, but if you just ask, and show up to class you will do great. I reacieved an F,D, and C but A's and B's on all the quizzes. Doing great on the tests and reading getting a solid B. She is friendly and smart. I would recommend her, Just don't buy the textbook.

She is a little nuts at first, but one of my faborite teachers at SDSU. She KNOWS what she is teaching and wants you to think critically. She is difficult but I almost got an A- just doing EXACTLY what she says. A class worth taking. BUY THE BOOK. Open book final and quizzes.
