TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE PROFESSOR. Hardest grade on earth, her questions and assignments make no sense. She grades terribly, is unfair and tells you "not to worry about your grade". She will give u under a 20% on most assignments for leaving a simple detail out. Nursing/Education students, you will not get in the program if you take her course.

Please believe all the reviews you see here for Prof. Hannon!!! Stay away if you can. She's a super tough grader and will drop your grade significantly just for leaving one little detail. Her expectations are way too high. She expects her students to be experts at everything and if you're not then she will belittle you.

The reviews are true. DO NOT choose this rude professor, especially for the students trying to get into the nursing program. She is the epitome of a professor that does not care. She says she will curve final grades but will literally fail all of your assignments throughout the semester no matter the quality, so a curve won't even do much for you.

Very tough on students and grades terribly. It's a lot of work and I get poor feedback. Disliked this class.

Understand if you want a class that you can do nothing in...don't take her if you like philosophy and participate she is a great mind goes in depth with her word notes matter but you have to listen as well its very enjoyable (IF YOU LIKE THE SUBJECT) don't listen to the reviews people want A's just for showing up and thats not how college works LOL

Prof. Hannon is absolutely the worst educator I have ever interacted with. I had no other option but to take her because her section was the only one that worked with my schedule. I LOVE philosophy but she is beyond rude, unreasonable, and condecending. If she doesn't like small part of your response then she will give you an automatic 50%

i have a 3.9 and let me tell you this professor is IMPOSSIBLE. one minor mistake on an assignment will bring it down to a failing grade, i don't know how anyone could get an A unless she favors them. she's also the rudest teacher i've ever had and needs to retire. STAY AWAY!!!

She has a very bad attitude, like legit for no reason. Genuinely gets pissed off when you don't even do anything wrong. I'm surprised how she can still teach at this school. If you make a single mistake, as in misspell a word, your grade goes to a 50 automatically. Pls take anyone but her!!!
