| 99 | 20023 | Phenomenal teacher, makes boring subject matter fun. Seems to really care about his students. |
| 99 | 20023 | dan kennedy is the best professor i have ever had, hands down. his 218 class rocked! |
| 99 | 20023 | Excellent, cares about the students and knows his stuff. Recommended. |
| 75 | 20023 | For class 484:
Fun guy and easy to approach. However, does not have a working grasp of database programming. Understands broad concepts, but is not immediatly familar with specifics of database interaction. Recieved the impression that he did not prepare for lectures or in class assignments. |
| 95 | 20023 | |
| 99 | 20023 | Wish he taught some more upper level courses. |
| 71 | 20023 | Class was incredibly boringly presented. He was very organized and knew his stuff, but I don't think it was put across that well. |
| 91 | 20012 | Good professor and nice guy, though wasn't always on the ball in class. |
| 88 | 20012 | Very laid back in his teaching technique, but makes class very interesting. Willing to help out the students and seems very fair. |
| 99 | 20012 | Kennedy is awesome. He can help you learn the stuff by making it fun and easy to learn. It takes some effort to learn the stuff as he doesn't spend any extra time on stuff unless asked to. This does, however, allow the class to go by much more quickly. Answers emails quickly and is easy to find during his office hours. Will figure something out if he doesn't know it already, and is very interactive with students. |
| 58 | 20012 | He sucks ok? He really does. Uses bad language. |
| 91 | 20012 | He's a good professor that gets his information across. His lectures are not boring at all, and you feel compelled to participate. |
| 95 | 20012 | I had Dan for Java 218 and he was a cool prof, knew his stuff and was generally a nice guy to talk to. Tests weren't as bad as other Java tests, his practicals were fair, and homeworks were graded very fairly. You'll do well in his class if you just pay attention, and maybe do some homework along the way ;) |
| 95 | 20011 | fair and fun professor to have |
| 81 | 20011 | Funny guy, but i didn't learn too much. i dont know if it was the class or it was him but i didnt have too much fun in the class. |
| 99 | 20003 | I have Dan for VB2 this quarter. He is one of the best profs I've had at RIT. Knows his stuff and is more than willing to help you if you take the time. |
| 85 | 20003 | Definitly not a bad guy. If you go to class at all you will learn. As for lab, give it a try before you ask him, he doesn't appreciate laziness. |
| 99 | 20003 | A really cool guy! Not your typical IT professor. He talks about technical concepts as if he were talking about sports or something. Very easy to follow. Interesting and funny. |
| 85 | 20003 | A good down to earth prof. (something that can be hard to find in IT). He is helpful and understanding towards his students. |
| 91 | 20003 | Professor Kennedy has a good grasp on the subject matter that he teaches. I have him for IDM this quarter and he seems to get tripped up on the details. But a great personality and person to know, nonetheless. I had Professor Kennedy for lab last quarter and decided to pick him up for lecture and lab this one. I recommend taking him. |
| 99 | 20003 | friendliest prof.
get on his good side.. make fun of him! |
| 95 | 20003 | dan is a good guy in the mix. he is a rock star to the max. |
| 99 | 20003 | Funny Guy... really knows his stuff in VB, very helpful and good teacher.... definetly get into one of his classes... Looks like Mr. Clean.. :) |
| 95 | 20003 | Professor Kennedy was very helpful in assisting in homework, projects and even projects from other classes. He took out time of his own schedule and came in on Saturdays for a few hours to help students that needed some extra help on their projects. I think his lectures might have been a bit too laid back but he compensated by the extra help in the lab. |
| 91 | 20002 | If you ever fall asleep in class, this is the professor for you! Kennedy is an enthusiastic professor with rogue class comments that will keep you laughing hysterically to the end of class. Its also fun to correct him when he is wrong about how applications function because he has such a sense of humor. Well done Prof. Kennedy! |
| 99 | 20002 | Not many people are as gifted to teach programming as Dan is. He's great for both lecture and lab. |
| 99 | 20002 | He is the best teacher I have yet to have at RIT. He not only teachs the material well but he is more than willing to help out a student. You're not a number to him you're a name and a person. |
| 99 | 20002 | DANK is the bomb!!! |
| 99 | 20002 | Best professor not only in the IT department, but in all of RIT. He can really relate to people well, which is a rare quality in IT profs. |
| 95 | 20002 | |
| 91 | 20002 | |
| 88 | 20002 | Knows VB well. Lectures can get a little long sometimes, but not too bad. |
| 85 | 20002 | Tries hard to make boring subjects amusing. Very knowledgable and helps the students when they need it. Good catch RIT! |
| 99 | 20002 | I had a bad experience in VB I with another professor and it was one of my first experiences in the IT Dept as a grad student. But Dan Kennedy for VB II redeemed both VB and the IT program. He is very knowledgable and confident in his teaching, and keeps things interesting in both this comments and his examples. |
| 95 | 20002 | Great prof, really gets you to understand material. Always more than willing to help a student out. |
| 88 | 20002 | Usually nice, does his best to explain things well. You will incur his wrath if you ask stupid questions in lab, but if you've tried the obvious, he's perfectly willing to sit with you to try and fix the problem. A fairly good choice. |
| 99 | 20001 | An excellent teacher #sucessfully teaches and engages both the novice and the relatively well informed. |
| 88 | 20001 | Goes over everything in excruciating detail. But he's a nice guy |
| 91 | 20001 | Professor was very good at explaining material, and very fair and honest. Some teaching to the lowest common denominator is necessary. |
| 95 | 20001 | I had Dan for VBII - great teacher, actually made it interesting. He's funny and answers questions really well #take Dan for VB if you can!! |
| 95 | 20001 | Very cool dude. |
| 99 | 19993 | Humorous, supportive, excellent knowledge of VB. |
| 88 | 19993 | A good VB teacher, knows his stuff. Funny sometimes. He won t let you out early, but he will grade fairly. Key with him is that he knows the subject very well, which is much more than some of the other profs. I would definately say he is the best VB prof. |
