Reviews of professor Charles Kenley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Lots of lectures, but busy work assignments for the most part. Nearly every lecture had an associated modeling assignment, although most are simple and the instructions walk you through it. Dedicate some time, but otherwise very straightforward.

He is the rudest person Ive ever met. He doesnt respond to emails professionally & appropriately. He is rude, doesnt even address you by your name, and doesnt care about your mental health at all. It is obvious that he doesnt read your emails or take your words into consideration. Hes condescending & an awful Professor, doesnt deserve a job.

SYS 510 was not a particularly difficult course. However, there is sooo much information covered. It was 3 lectures per week, plus book reading, plus at least 3 assignments per week. I am in grad school part time while working a full time job, and it was almost impossible to keep up. I ended up never reading the book, and skimming through lectures.

SYS 530 is a project-based class, and it can be tedious creating all the reports and presentations, especially coordinating with other students who work full time. However, as long as you did everything on the rubric, you would do well on the assignments. Interesting projects can provide a lot of impact to the project sponsor, which is rewarding.

Course is predominately group project based, at least when taken in the summer. Puts things on a bit of a tight schedule. Individual work is pretty asynchronous but covers a lot of material. Its a grad level course so you get out what you put in.
