Comment:

Literally the worst professor ever. Do NOT take him. He does not grade. He does not teach. But still expects work to be done on time. Doesn't accept or respond to emails. No assignment has a clear due date. Wants you to call him and "beg" to retake tests. He has no idea how to be a professor and is being reported. Save yourself a headache.

Dr Kenney is a nice guy who seems to really care about teaching but he's not good at it. The online format is impossible to navigate and its hard to tell what you're being graded by and how. He refuses to answer emails, you have to call him to ask questions. There is a ton of reading required each week and so much writing as well

Robert Kenney assists my actual professor in my health care ethics course. The assignments are convoluted and his grading scale is too difficult considering the subject. I was able to make an A, but I had to work for it. Writing comes naturally for me and I usually excel in writing based courses, yet with him I never scored higher than a 95.

Nice professor, but gives way to much work. Very confusing with the on-line format. Would not recommend if you are a full time student. He gives as much writing work if you were in a writing class. Beware!

Comment:

Dr. Kenney was extremely nice from day one. I took his online health care ethics course. The class was a little confusing at first (he has stuff everywhere on BB) but once you get use to it, it isn't that bad. His class was pretty easy, sometimes had a lot of reading or work, but it is all straightforward. He is very helpful and nice though.

Took 2 classes with him. Very easy to get an A, but you have to deal with him. Online- is not good with Tech, does not answer emails! His deadlines are not clear, but if you can reach him he will change any of it for you. He works with you. On campus- Very hard to follow, he makes a statement then calls your name and wants you to answer something!

Web class: It was disorganized from the start. When I went to my 'orientation' appointment for the class he was busy, so I never did it. Assignment topics and due dates were unclear; Final paper consists of a confusing mix of analyses of 4 articles + argument + creative writing (?!?!) and apparently my argument was my 'concluding essay.' What?

Professor Kenney is nice and seems to have good intentions, but he is not a good teacher. He is very unorganized. He always teaches out of the textbook and calls on students to answer questions that no one can ever comprehend. The class is easy, if you can manage the frustration.

Comment:

He is tech challenged. Having said that, he depends on Bboard to give out assingments,ppts,&grades. However, he never responds to email. Due dates are too vague. He is well informed on the subjects but he does not get the class motivated to read ahead. So no one gets very far. If its fits your schede, its prob best for you to take a dif prof.

Easy A if you do the work, but you really need to which your grades on blackboard and question him if you think there is a problem. Knows his stuff but he is unorganized, and doesn't check email.

He's a nice guy just taught a very boring class. The tests are online and done with groups so they aren't hard at all. The book was 6 dollars and you did have to bring it to class every day. Easy class, easy A. Most of the work is getting yourself there and staying awake.

Kenney is really a sweet man and has a good heart. He cares about his students but he is really awkward and is extremely boring. The class is easy. He gives group tests.

Very unorganized.. will not assume responsibility for his actions or actions he didnt take and should have. Unfair, never checks his email or responds in order to get any sort of answer from him you must call and wait for him to call back. I think he has Alzheimers because he thinks he goes over things and he doesn't.. I think I have said enough..

Comment:

I would beg to differ to anyone who said he is open minded. He's so ignorant and narrow minded. Likes to share his opinions in class. Lectures make no sense whatsover, and he turns an interesting topic into something as dull as watching paint dry. If you want to be bored out of your mind and have your beliefs criticized, than he's the man for you.

Easily the worst professor I have ever had. His lectures were so pointless that I often entertained thoughts of suicide mid-class. I had to drop the class, clinging onto the tiny bit of sanity I had left.

I took this class for World Religions. Kenney is THE WORST professor I have ever had. He is EXTREMELY unorganized and teaches only from the textbook while lecturing. He is very boring and confusing. He calls on you to answer questions that you have no idea what he is talking about. Easy class if he wasnt so unorganized and useless. DO NOT TAKE!

Assignments and discussions weren't too hard, but communication was a bit of a problem. Never posted our grades for test 3 and the essay. Maybe he didn't feel like grading them? An easy A regardless.
