Reviews of professor Kendra Sheehan

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The grade was made up of five 500 word DB posts, eight 3-4 page essays, and a final project, as well as a project proposal that was turned in before to show what we wanted our project to be. Honestly, it's kinda too much writing but she grades pretty easy so the essays don't have to be super profound. She is also very forgiving about late work.

One of my favorite courses Ive taken this semester is her Japanese Pop Culture class. It was for a gen ed, but was well worth it. Very straightforward material and she makes you feel welcomed in the class. You dont have to know anything about Japan when entering this class, so thats a huge plus.

Dr. Sheehan is good. Some of the assignments she gives seem useless, but overall it shows that she cares about her students. Would recommend.

I really thought I would do well in this class, which was maybe arrogant of me. Sheehan really expects you to *get* the material, and grades you on proving that you're able to synthesize what you learned in long writing responses. Very tough! However, she's GREAT with emails, very responsive, very helpful. DON'T WAIT TO MESSAGE HER.

My favorite professor at UofL! Dr. Sheehan is such an interesting and intelligent professor and you can tell she loves her work. She is also very personable and can be reached easily outside of class. If you do the readings, you'll be perfectly fine. I highly recommend taking Dr. Sheehan!

I am SO GLAD I transferred to UofL. This is the first time I've ever had an out queer professor, let alone several!! I loved attending Dr. Sheehan's lectures and I look forward to taking her classes in the future. This professor cares about her students, she shows up and she goes above and beyond for them. I could never ask for a better professor.

I took this for WGST LGBTQ+ Film which I thought was going to be super fun and chill - I was wrong. There's nearly 100 pages of reading a week, a film, several lengthy discussion board posts, and several analysis/essay-type assignments that are each equivalent to a 3-page paper. The amount of work was equal to my other four classes combined.

I've taken many of Dr. Sheehan's courses, she is a great professor. As long as you do the readings and mention the material in the assignments you will do fine. Some of her courses are a little more heavy when it comes to readings than others, but it's very manageable. Has a great amount of knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture. Very Organised
