Dr. Kennedy is hands down one of the best profs at SMU. She is genuinely one of the nicest people and grades fairly. She also understands how challenging the online only learning platform is and checks in with students on a regular basis. She is very clear with what she expects and I would recommend taking her to anyone! :)

Comment:
Saint of a woman. Understands the constraints of personal adversity on school performance and will try her best to accommodate and guide you to success. True academic. Wants you to think analytically for your essays but does expect specific answers. Appreciates literature from liberated female writers. Very kind.

I loved Professor Kennedy. She is a great person but is very clear in what she is looking for from the class. She has a quirky sense of humour and will engage the class as much as possible. She actually cares about her students and is very knowledgeable in her field! I would definitely take her again.

I took this class as an easy-A humanities credit, but I ended up loving it! Prof. Kennedy is very kind, and her lectures are fun and engaging. You can tell she genuinely enjoys literature. I was swamped with work and she gave me an extension on a paper the night before it was due, which shows how caring and understanding she is. Would take again!

Comment:
Worst prof I've had. She talks monotone and slow. Her grading was impossible. In an hour test, she expected us to do a 2-3 page quiz and a 5-6 page paper and proofread it ALL. I mis spelled one word on the essay, just wrote a z instead of s since I was writing so fast and she removed points for it. Absolutely ridiculous, standards are way too high

Dr. Kennedy is one of my favourite professors. She cares about her students, gives great feedback and chooses very interesting books! She is a tough grader, but she is so nice that it just makes me want to work harder on my papers.

Great prof. she made the class very interesting even though the class was really long 2.5 hours. She was quick to mark tests and papers and gave good feedback on those assignments.

She is a very kind & sweet, she's also very understanding towards students, however, she's an extremely hard marker. I would get my papers edited at the writing centre & she still didn't like it. I tried my hardest on my papers & got nothing more than a B+ & other profs gave me an A or A-. She doesn't take pity no matter how much effort you put in

Prof. Kennedy is a great professor! She knows the material well and teaches it in an interesting way -- you want to know what happens next! She is funny too which helps. Attendance helps as the books covered can be confusing, and she explains it crystal clear! She is a very caring and nice Professor.

Real easy course, you do have to go to the classes imo, but her tests are real easy. the whole class was 2 quizes, an essay and a final exam just about books she tells you to read, and she'll tell you what exactly will be on the tests too.

Comment:
Assignments are straight forward, nothing someone hasn't done by grade 10 or 11. She doesn't say anything thought provoking or dig very deep into texts to uncover possible/multiple meanings. She doesn't encourage students to give their ideas or opinions, if a student does she basically repeats what they say and tries to turn it into her idea.

Comment:
very opinionated. Absolutely not open to alternative view points and interpretations... and don't even bother mentioning anything you wouldn't find on the NDP's idea and values. She was extremely boring, and she was obnoxiously displaying of her personal beliefs and opinions in her notes and analysis.

Comment:
My highschool english teachers were harder. And much more interesting. I'm going into english as a major, but if I had to base my chosen discipline on this class, I would be running fast and far. She was very very easy, a tad obscure, and class was a complete bore. I didn't learn anything new at all.
