Comment:
Dr. Kendrick was a very kindhearted professor. I took him for a Milton course in grad school (I hate reading Milton), but he got me to enjoy it some. His lectures can be pretty dry and boring so bring some coffee. Other than that, he's very sweet and always gave me constructive, but very kind comments on my essays. If I had to, I'd take him again.

Comment:
His class is based on half novels and half poetry readings. Lectures are very boring. No attendance taken. Several unannounced in class writings, 3 papers, midterm, and final. Look over his study sheet for the midterm and final! He is very helpful. Offers feedback on your drafts if you reach out to him. This class is what you make it.

Comment:
This class was an easy A. You really don't even need to show up to class except on the days that things are due. He lectures mostly on poetry which can get pretty boring at times. Your grade is based off of 3 papers, a midterm, and a final but he's not a tough grader. He also offers rewrites on papers if you ask him.

Class can get pretty boring at times. Not a lot of grades to rely on- 2 big papers, a midterm, and a final. Not very clear on how to study for the finals. Gives some random quizzes that are easy A's though. Not very engaging, but decent for a core class.

Comment:
Professor Kendrick is world class in literary studies but he is nurturing to undergraduates. Won't feed fascist impulses by turning class into a spectacle, but meets you as a learned equal, allowing collaborative creative insight to happen. If you engage the text, you will have epiphanies. If not, maybe English is not really your thing.

Very kind man. Expects you to do the reading for every class, which is not unreasonable in an English course. He provides a study guide for the midterm and final. He is a reasonable grader, and is available for consultation on papers before they're due. You'll get what you put into his class.

Comment:
I came into this class really loving poetry, but by the end of the semester I started to hate it. He chooses bad poetry to discuss in class and frequently admits he knows nothing about the author what he/she is saying. He is really boring as well. Don't take him for this class!

He was alright. Not the best, not the worst. A bit boring at times. I was excited about the class at first but at the end, not so much. I thought it would be easy but there is not a lot of graded work to rely on. Two papers and midterm and final (really not able to study for them though).

Comment:
The professor was alright, I suppose, but I would not take him again. I got a paper back and he marked me down substantially because he disagreed with the conclusions I drew, not with any of my methodology. This is not, in my humble opinion, the mark of a good professor.

Comment:
He is really a very intelligent man. He knows everything about what he is teaching. The only reason his classes are boring is because no one participates, which is most likely due to the material. He does try to engage the class though. I learned a lot in his class, worth it if you are interested in Milton. I didn't find his voice annoying.

I loved Professor Kendrick! He was the sweetest man and he really cares about what he teaches. Yes, he has a monotone voice but if you can get over that, take his class! He lets you redo papers if you don't get the grade you want and isn't an extremely difficult grader.

Very soft spoken and sweet man. Difficult grader, but fair. He is extremely understanding if you are sick and have to miss a class and will work with you. Sweet man, I don't recommend taking this class if you aren't extremely interested in English

His voice is wonderful. At first you feel like it's boring and monotone, but it's his style and if you can't understand him, it's not his fault.

Wonderful professor! He is very wise in his subject and he admits it when he is not sure, which is almost never! He is wonderful at lecturing. He encourages discussion, but it is not boring when he is the only one speaking. He's a great guy with a dry, yet good sense of humor. Don't be intimidated or afraid. He's awesome!

Comment:
Professor Kendrick is a kind-hearted, soft-spoken,world-class genius who teaches a very arcane area of English literature. I felt he would have been better off had he been hired by a better university, but he tried very hard to reach out to students who, quite frankly, were not up to his stature. He has one major downfall: his speaking style.

Okay, so it's not the most interesting topic, and Kendrick isn't the most interesting prof. But coming from a non-english major, he does his best to make Milton's lit more straightforward, and understands that the material is difficult so he grades accordingly. He is a nice guy, just kinda puts you to sleep. I wish we had more class discussion.

The subject matter is very dense and for the most part, boring. He's soft-spoken but very smart with a subtle sense of humor, and he seems to realize the difficulty of the subject and grades accordingly.
