Poor
Prof. Kennedy doesn't post lectures and notes and has people come in to recruit you for army/clubs. He gives weekly quizzes and he teaches straight from the book. He is very firm about coming in to his office hours or 8 am study sessions. He has a strict no electronic rule and does not like graphing calculators.

Awful
If you're a student interested in: -Hearing stories -Listening to old music -Watching a professor interrupt a lecture to tell someone to get off their phone Then this is the professor for you! If not go take a real class with someone else.

Awful
While the work wasn't too difficult, Mr. Kennedy was. Just an awful teacher! I left the class as soon as possible, he was just so unreasonable. The class is made for teaching yourself, as he's incredibly unorganized, no powerpoints or anything.

Professor Kennedy is truly terrible, I took him for lab and he ridiculed me in front of the whole class, all because I asked him a simple question. He makes you terrified to learn, belittles you, and gives no assistance or information for the labs. I had him during the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to switch to online, and he made it horrible because he never replied to emails.

Professor Kennedy talks more about himself than the material. If he feels you slightly offended him, he'll yell at you. He's narcissistic, aggressive and can never be fired. Him as a tenured, is the worst thing here at Georgia State University. Never go into his office, you may never leave. You'll learn nothing and will struggled in your next class. Avoid taking his class at all costs.

Awful
He did not only fail to provide a syllabus, but he also failed to deliver clear and meaningful lectures. When there was no feeling of direction, learning content was extremely difficult. He did not adequately prepare the class for the final exam and did not give any quizzes. His class was honestly very frustrating and confusing! If you want to learn, don't take his class.

Synthesis of 4,5-dihydro-3,4,4,5,5-Pentasubstituted-N-tosyl-1H-pyrazoles.
Heterocyclic Communications
Addition of methyl- or phenyllithium to 3,4,4,5-tetrasubstituted-4H-pyrazoles smoothly produced the extremely air-sensitive anions of 4,5-dihydro-3,4,4,5,5-pentasubstituted-1H-pyrazoles which were converted to the N-tosylated compds. in low to very good yields by reaction with tosyl fluoride. The two-step process is a convenient one-pot route to 4,5-dihydro-N-tosyl-1H-pyrazoles.
