Reviews

    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Professor Kennedy is hands down the worst class I have ever head at UCLA. Read some of her Bruin walk reviews she is simply horrible. She was rude, disrespectful and belittled her students constantly. She straight up ignored all of students problems or questions and quite literally scoffed at any ideas. Additionally she made multiple students cry from her rude demeanor alone.

    Quarter Taken: Spring 2022 In-Person
    Grade: B+

    This class was difficult because the tests sucked

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    don’t take 115 with her, exams were only 35 questions so if you miss 2 questions you will get A-. Weekly quizzes are fine but midterm questions are worded confusingly.
