Definitely knowledgeable about his field but overall a semi-boring class depending on the person. It's described as the 'English course' of the IMD major so take that as you will. Super easy and some of the material read is interesting. The whole class structure is to do the readings, discussion about the readings, do a project unrelated to the readings, then rinse and repeat.

Cy is a very laid back professor, forgiving and kind, but as always be communicative of your needs. I had him for IMDM150, and in class we had great conversations on the reading material and state of tech. Class time and such meaningful discourse were greatly aided by the two TAs Charlotte Richardson-Deppe and Maggie Letvin. To succeed: get on Perusall (the reading platform) early and be engaged with the course content. There are very few actual assignments, so just stay up to speed. Glhf

He has a lot to say. Very knowledgeable man, and a not-too-harsh grader compared to his co-instructor. He is pretty approachable and accommodating, and although I disliked the annotating rules on Perusall, I guess it helped me in the class. Discussions in class are pretty boring and you WILL inevitably fall asleep if you sit in the back, so just sit in the front and interact with the activity slides lol . Overall, Kenner himself is a nice guy, but the class can use some innovating. I know many aspiring IMD majors who took this class and dropped the major like a hot potato :')

A bad communicator and not clear on how he grades. I was excited about this course, but his critiques were not clear and communication was lacking. He ignores emails a lot and the class was not so helpful.

Extremely interesting professor who is super knowledgeable about his field. He is really accommodating and wants his students to succeed. IMDM150 was pretty discussion based and Cy created a really welcoming environment where people felt comfortable participating. I'm definitely glad I got to have him.

Great guy who is really nice and knowledgeable about a lot of things. He has a lot of experience working with well known artists and producing art himself. I took him for 200 and 479E and he was great for both

He can be a tough grader, but is otherwise laid back and does not usually require attendance if you produce art.
