Comment:

Absolutely awful teacher. She teaches basically nothing and goes on endless rants which barely graze the lesson which she is trying to impart. She spent an entire class babbling about movies and popular culture, while only going over a single slide about Platonian interpretation of literary criticism. If you care about learning, don't take her.

I had Dr. Kennedy for The Grail Legend FSEM and she was amazing. She really cared about her students. I took the normal class, not the honors class. The majority of the class loved her, and we had a TON of fun. She assigns a decent amount of reading, and then we had two projects (?) which she graded fairly. I got an A and I did not struggle.

This class was fairly easy and I got through most of it without reading the text, although you are required to bring the book to class. She is pretty sarcastic but harmless. There are randomly-assigned peer reviews but they are pretty easy. Relatively easy class to complete a writing-intensive requirement.

You read multiple books for this class. Make sure you read them and understand them. You'll also learn the circumstances around the book's publication.

I have very mixed feelings about this her class. As a person Kennedy is a great woman who is hilarious. As a professor, she really knows her stuff and her classes are really interesting. I took Myth and Folktale which has a very strong focus on The Lord of the Rings which I am not interested in. If you have a nerdy side you'll love this class.

Dr. Kennedy is the best professor at the university and is, on top of that, one of the kindest, most devoted and knowledgeable people that I have had the fortune to meet. Your writing will improve, you will read great books, and the class will be excellent :)

This class was a total joke. There were 4-5 graded performances including the final, all of which are incredibly easy (you just pick a poem, speech, play, whatever and perform it in front of the class - except for the final, which you record at home and submit online). We basically just sat around, ate pizza, and talked about random stuff.

Dr. Kennedy is hilarious. I loved her class and feel as if we learned a lot. There were only three essays but she lets you turn in revisions to boost your grade.

She's the smartest professor I've ever had ever. Her ability to weave classic Literature with modern day events is absolutely amazing and ALL THE INFO that she stores in her brain could rival any anthology of Medieval Literature; online or in print form. Pay attention in lecture, ask smart questions and buy her a ginger ale occasionally.

Dr Kennedy is AWESOME! Always tells hilarious stories and says hilarious things in class. Always brightens my day. The class was 3 papers and a presentation. No final. So not too bad. Shes very helpful in making improvements on papers and taught me a lot of things I didnt know about writing. Highly recommend!

She is wonderful. She can use Star Trek, Bugs Bunny, and Chaucer in the same lecture and somehow it all makes perfect sense. Her class is always a treat and while some people don't like her tangents, you can learn a LOT from this woman if you just pay attention; maybe it's not all relevant to English, but it's very valuable information.

If you want a teacher that can take something you always thought was lame and turn it into something that blows your mind, take her class. Just be willing to put in the work to reap the benefits. If your not interested she doesnt care. Show some interest and she will take you to the next level.

Kennedy is awesome. She knows everything. Her lectures are hilarious and it doesn't really matter if you do the readings, just listen to her lectures every now and then. She treats us like adults which I like, but is funny and friendly more than anything. I learned stuff and had fun. That's the best kind of class to me.

Kennedy was the best professor I met whilst at UMW! She made me feel really welcome in the school as well as the class and told me to visit her if I was ever in the USA again. Totally awesome woman, who just might be the most intelligent person alive...
