Reviews of professor Kevin Vennemann

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took intermediate german with Kevin (unsure what code it is here) and I absolutely loved it! Very well-structured lessons, loads of opportunities to speak, clear grammar explanations and great topics in general. I really enjoyed the class and the general communication with him.

He can really flip flop on his opinion of you. One minute he's happy with everything, and the next minute he gets very angry. This can affect your grade.

I think that Core 1 was fine with Kevin. His discussions were often super awkward and I soon learned that he cold calls A LOT, but he was easy to connect with outside of class.

Prof. Vennemann cares so much about his students. While he does assign a lot of homework, I think he did a fantastic job teaching and I couldn't recommend him more.

Recommend him for any German classes. He assigns a lot of homework, but other than that, he is super chill and very accommodating with assignments. He cares about his students and your ability to learn the language.

Professor Vennemann is one of the only qualified CORE001 professors. He is so kind and a FANTASTIC discussion leader. He really helped to improve my writing and discussion skills while doing so in a truly caring and genuine way. My whole class loved having him for CORE001, we were very lucky.

He has bad communication. His feedback is vague which is tough when learning a new language. He assigns tons of busywork assignments. He lacks sympathy at points and waits until the last minute to spring important information. He can be a very nice person, but he has another side of rudeness/anger that is hard to deal with.

I love Professor Vennemann! He is such a sweet guy, and so accessible and caring. There is a lot of work, and for someone who was just beginning German, it definitely made me a better student. However, it was often annoying and difficult to complete the assignments, though it pays off in the end. Communicate with him about what you need.

Prof Vennemann is super sweet and cares a lot about his students! He gave great feedback on writing assignments and was very accessible. He personally encouraged me so much with my writing and has been one of the most supportive professors I've had so far. Definitely make sure you do the readings and participate in discussions
