CLASS
The class covers a lot of material in such a short amount of time, so make sure to space out learning the material. It's definitely doable if you put in the effort. Look at slides before lecture and understand material beforehand because she skims over the lecture slides super fast.. there's little to no time to ask questions.
- Lecture slides are are all over the place, that's why read it beforehand. Make sure to know distinctions between topics clearly because she tests you on the smallest details (even if she just skimmed over it in lecture or didn't discuss it at all)
- It's more self-study since she reads over her lecture slides and gives little to no additional information about the topic at hand.

PROFESSOR
- Initially, she mentioned that she wasn't going to test things that she didn't go over in lecture, but some questions on the exam weren't on the lecture or the slides. Maybe watch videos or look at the textbook for more clarification about the topic.
- She is disorganized, can't time her class well, will not take questions because she thinks she doesn't have time to finish the lecture slides... but at times she ends early.

The professor is unapproachable and rude. Asked her a simple question about date changes she made because she missed an entire week of class and she was just so patronizing. How would I ever feel comfortable approaching her about a content based question after that. Not to mention she is continually relaying in the TAs to answer questions because she doesn’t know the answers. And she’s just all over the place. She always messes something up and confuses the whole class but never really goes back to correct herself.

Overall-
Professor Kennedy is very easy to listen to. Her lectures can be boring at time though. The slides are very disorganized and she does not know how to time her lectures. She is very misleading about the information she gives in class and does not correct herself. Overall, I would not take a class with her again.

Tests-
The tests are not fair. I got a 95% on the first midterm because it was straight forward. She made the second midterm very confusing and tricky after she sent an email out saying she would not make the second midterm harder than the first. That was a lie.

Quizzes-
Are 35% of the grade. The grading distribution in this class is wacky. Quizzes serve to keep students on top of the material and consolidate their knowledge before the test. These were the opposite. They are worth more than the final and do not help to solidify the information before the test.

Overall Rating:
5/10.
