Reviews of professor Amanda Kennell

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Do NOT take this class. It may sound interesting, and the course material itself is, but be prepared for the worst project you will ever have to do. We are given 3 weeks to write a 14-16 page paper on OY the art of a single anime film or series... Right before Finals. She also gave no resources to help with writing, only vague instructions.

In a class that would seem to be very interesting she makes me dread going to every lecture. If students ask a question that she doesn't like, she will humiliate them in front of the class. She gives a 14-page paper right before finals week with little guidelines and gives minimal time to finish said paper. In short, don't get her as a professor.

Your grade depends on Quiz, attendance, and a 14-16 page essay. The Quizzes have BS questions on it and there are only 5 questions on each one. A question like what is the primary color of this film and even when 90% of student says that isn't the color she believes her answers are right 100%. Essay was given 1 week before the final no guideline.

Professor Kennel gave us the essay at the very end of the semester with little to no guidance. When people asked her clarifying questions about the essay she was very condescending. She needs to work on her interpersonal skills. Not every question students ask is a personal attack.

Assigns a 14-16 page final paper right before finals week with little guidance and a very vague essay prompt. Is a harsh grader. Quizzes are graded so unfairly. Is extremely rude to students and ignores student's questions. Worst professor I've had at this school. Save yourself the headache of taking this class because it is not worth it.

As mentioned by others, she is the toughest teacher ever. I thought this class would actually teach me how to look at anime. However, she teaches almost nothing and then expects you to write a 14 page paper in 3 weeks. I cannot tell if she is tough because the class is seen as a joke or if she just insane. Even if the class sounds interesting don't

The way this course was taught could not possibly equip someone with the skills and/or resources to produce a quality 14 page paper in 2+ weeks. What should have been an interesting and enriching class turned into a brutal slog only surpassed by physics or biochem. Avoid at all costs.

All these comments on here about Professor Kennell are very biased. I am now in my second class taught by her and she is an amazing and very knowledgeable person. She grades fairly, unlike what others have said, and she just expects that you put in the effort when you turn something in. She knows her stuff. Shes only rude if you don't respect her.
