Very very fun class with a great proffesor, she is straight forward and easy with the tests and the greades I strongl advise anyone taking PHL to take her.. A++
she can get slightly weird at times. not a bad teacher, but i wouldn't take her again.
Does not follow the course outline. Grades journal articles very tough. Class is very boring. She is inconsistent in the way she grades her essay tests. I would say this woman is the worst Professor I have had in two years. Avoid her if you can.
She is a nice lady but her class is a snoozer
this teacher is very boring at times and cannot keep a student tuned in to whats going on...does not explain the topics very well and is a very hard grader
The class is ver interesting, you learn a lot about the different religions but the quizzes may only have 5 or 10 questions which means you have to really read and read to pass these test because there is no review of what is gonna be on the test. A lot of students withdrew from the course.
She is a very good teacher & if u do ur work she grades fairly. Very simple & to the point . I would recommend her to anyone taking PHIL 130
I would suggest taking her class for phl130. Her tests were short but easy if you studied. She actually gave the questions for the final ahead of time so you knew exactly what to study. She does expect you to participate and will usually do group projects like debates. Its a pain but well worth the grades she gives
she's hard on you if your not one of her favorites and she has a spplit side one minute she's nice to you next minute giving you the cold shoulder in my opinion she is a ****
She tends to change the course outline as she goes along. Gives writing assignments and will low ball you with a grade. I am an A Student and this woman killed my GPA. I was lucky to get out with a B. Avoid this one.
she's terrible. an easy grader, and it's an easy 'a', but she's a lot to put up with.
I would not reccomend her at all. I don't like any professor that writes a whole lot of stuff on the board and than gives 10 questions on the exam.I think she is too lazy to type up a real exam. She doesn't grade fairly and isn't that clear about what she exspects on her paper. Most of the stuff she lectures about, won't be on your exam.
She gave me an A so i cant complain, but i will admit she was hard gave lots of notes n her tests well lets just say she grades unfairly unless she likes you....sooo suck up!
Here's what to expect: She's a good teacher who enjoys her subject. You MUST do your work. She does not like when people havent read the material before class. She's easygoing to a point. If youre not doing the work, dont expect to pass.
Prof. Hannon is a very nice woman; she has the stuff and sure can deliver. Hewrt classes are very interesting, and she is detailed in all her teaching. Her quizzes, papers and exams are just a piece of cake IF you are not a lazy ass; plus she gives clues on exams before hand. I had an A; sure, if there was something higher, i should have got it.
Prof. Hannon's class was easy. Just show up, take notes, and the tests will be easy. Do all of the papers and you'll have no problem. Participate, and you'll do even better.
Her grading is considered by her mood and how much she likes you,participate/read assignments and you should be okay. She isn't clear with her intentions or expecations and her notes are very sporadic. She can be just and understanding if you speak to her.
stay on her good side and just pay attention and it is an easy A
When your given work, you have to do it according to her standards to the max. One little thing out of line and you'll see a drastic change in your grade. But her class is very interesting and fun. Many heated debates but you learn a lot. You have to be really hardworking to handle her. But shes nice and cool
she is not a very good teacher, for those who are getting a good grade from her she will give a bad grade at the end of the semester, but for those who are getting bad grades along the semester she will give a good grade. you can not even say something about what you think because according to her you are wrong and only her words are right.not good
get out now! this teacher is absolutely horrendous she gives you ambiguous answers to questions she does not fair gradly at all, she says she wants one thing but grades on another. you cannot question her anythign she says is right, her notes and lessons jump from one thing to another and back if you think your doign good,your prob failed.HORRIBLEE
rediculously hard...there are no right answers to her questions..did great all semester, minded my business, was respectful, and got a C+..tell me how is that possible....i didnt get nething under a 92....get out noww, she acts as ur friend but can care lesss...her debate is impossible, average grade was a 30 in my class
Doesn't pay enough attention to students and their weaknesses in this course.
A friendly and very high spirited professor, who likes to tell stories and show movies in class. Her notes on the board are scattered and disjointed, so you have to listen well and ask for clarification to understand her points. Many writing assignments, but isn't a stickler for correct citation or style. She just wants your papers to make sense.
This teacher is horrible. She give terrible notes. None of her test questions or paper questions make any sense. When you tell her you don't understand she starts to talk to you like you are a retarded child. If you have a choice do not take her class
She is a good professor but she always contradicts herself. I think she needs understand that nobody is perfect and she should consider that when she makes the final grades.
She's really nice but contradicts herself sometimes when she's trying to explain something to you. You may not get a good grade on her first quiz because her testing is completely different from other professors but you will get a hang of it.
None of her quizzes are on the notes are her debates are so hard to pass. Do not take her class!
Ridiculous! Does NOT teach, notes are all over the place. Very sarcastic & rude. Do NOT take this woman. I wouldn't even call her a teacher because she does not teach.
Not many students understand the role of a professor nor the role of a student for that matter. Prof. Hannon excels in her role as class facilitator. I frankly use her class to test ideas. It is outstanding what a polymath Prof. Hannon truly is. She is interdisciplinary and versed in more topics than can be named. Take her to learn research skills
Hybrid online course that had biweekly deadlines. Class design was excellent. Each student had a thread for each topic. It was your responsibility to simply post synthesis of your research. Prof. Hannon actively participated on your thread at the same level you participated. Post early, get early feedback, make another post--helped by students too
I definitely would not take this class again. Her homework assignments are really tough, and you only get full credit if she likes what you post, otherwise try again. Her feedback is not useful at all, so you are basically on your own the whole semester. Be prepared to teach yourself everything because she does not teach well.
Do NOT take this class. This was the worse class I ever took, and would not recommend anyone to take this class. Her homework assignments are more like individual tests, and you will not get full credit unless she likes what you have to say. This class is ridiculous.
She is the WORST professor ever. If you take this class, you are going to waste a whole semester. She is annoying, and a very tough grader. It is also impossible to pass any of her tests. Good luck if you enroll in this class.
If you take the hybrid course, you must show up to class or you won't know whats going on. Very hard class, very hard teacher.
Definitely an interesting class. It was a comparative religion class, and we had many students of different faiths, so that made for very interesting discussions. She herself was very knowledgeable. I loved participating. There wasnt much work, (I bought the texbook for nothing) and the online was kinda weird, but participation was a must
Many students in my class failed but I can see why. Many did not do the assigned reading, never participated, and at the end of the semester did not understand basic ethical theories. If this is the type of student you are I recommend not taking her. Hannon is not easy but plays role as prof. nicely. If you are a serious student, you will do great
I have never experienced a teacher more difficult than this one. Her class is very tough. She gives a lot of homework, 3 exams, and a term paper. Her homework assignments took me at least 2 hours to complete. No matter how hard I tried it was never good enough. Basically if you sell her your soul, you will receive an A. Good luck if you enroll here
Does NOT teach. Her notes are all over the board. She is very rude and expects you to learn everything on your own. Only about 9 students take her every semester because of how terrible she teaches. If you don't love nature as much as her she will fail you.
her notes are terrible. Lessons are all over the place. Very hard. i couldn't understand anything. i took the class again with a different professor and i was able to understand the lessons.
Amy Hannon is by far the most dedicated, heavily involved teacher I have ever had for a hybrid course. You can post something on Black Board at 9 PM on a Sunday night and you have a good chance of her commenting on your post with feedback before the morning. On the other hand: tough grader, grading methods are inconsistent, lectures not helpful
I've never had a professor be so inconsistent with grading my whole college career. There is no winning. She tells you to do one thing, you do it the way she told you, she has a problem with it. Quizzes are not too difficult but it is impossible to get good grades on blackboard discussions .
Horrible and sloppy notes. Anything you do will be wrong even after she tells you to fix it. Homework is impossible and shes never satisfied.
So terrible at everything DO NOT TAKE
Presently in her class. I highly suggest to not take her course. Horrible notes on the board, never satisfied with your posts. I dread sitting in class. By far, the worst class I've ever taken. You have been warned.
Rude. Demands a lot of work.
Honestly, I actually did not mind her class. She is passionate about religion. She doesn't even assign a lot of work. Just discussions on blackboard and then a final paper... she's a bit annoying with grading but she just appreciates effort. I liked her.
She's very rude and doesn't give much feedback. Her lectures are very boring and she lets class out early, while it might seem nice, class time is wasted with sloppy notes and unclear lectures so be prepared to study a lot outside of class. Would not take her again for the life of me.
Avoid at all costs. Rude, disrespectful old woman. I am a 4.0 student and she gave me 10/100 and even zeros on assignments for simple mistakes. Dropped her class at the last minute to avoid my gpa being ruined. And she wondered why I wanted to drop hahahahah.
By far the rudest professor I have ever come across. Has not done a single online lecture since college has closed due to covid-19. I paid for a class and ended up doing the professors job. Incredibly inconsistent with her grades. I think grading depends on her mood. She is never satisfied with any work. DO NOT TAKE HER.
This is the worst professor by far I have ever had. DO NOT take her. I promise you will regret it. I took her as a prerequisite and that was the worst mistake ever. She doesn't give feedback on work, doesn't explain anything even when you are literally begging her for help. She's a poor grader even when you give it your best. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!
Please do not take this professor she doesnt care about her students or even try to help if they dont understand an assignment because of her my GPA had dropped severely she fails to respond to my questions and always goes back on her word. Im not the only one that has this issue everyone do, She doesnt have good intentions for her students.
Professor Hannon is by far the worst professor I have ever had. She is beyond disrespectful and has no idea what she is doing. She is the reason why I am feeling so discouraged about life. She makes it impossible to pass the class. Avoid taking her at all costs. Save your GPA and find a different professor!
Do not take this professor. She is very rude and overly critical of everything that is done in her class. she has no clue how to teach or work a computer. she gives a lot of work such online discussions, quizzes, tests, and papers. If assignments are not labeled right or not done the way she wants she will make you redo it from scratch.
Class was very interesting, however this is the most rude professor I have ever had the misfortune of interacting with. I am utterly baffled as to how she has gotten this far in life with a total lack of basic respect for other human beings. If you make a slight mistake, prepare for her to publicly take out all of her personal issues on you.
I would highly suggest you avoid taking her for ethics. She is overly passionate about her subject which makes it impossible to impress her. Shes extremely difficult to please, her feedback is unhelpful, shes condescending, and just outright rude. This subject is hard enough to follow but she makes it so much more unnecessarily complicated..
I think this is the most hard to please professor I have ever came across. If she doesnt like what you wrote or it does not meet her standards she will give you a 0 (not even partial credit for attempting). If you call her anything besides professor she will lecture you about it. The questions on the tests are not even on any of the readings.
Don't waste your time with this professor, she's extremely critical and difficult to please. There's barely any teaching or help, she just posts assignments, the occasional broken link, and yells at people in the discussion forums. Be prepared to learn everything on your own
If anybody who needs to take ethics please find another professor to teach. She criticizes students instead of helping . Part of being a teacher is to teach not criticize students for doing the work wrong but instead helping them. Shes hard to please and is quick to fail than to pass you . Wouldn't really recommend
Horrible professor! Avoid! ! Overly critical w/o any guidance and only posts assignments w/o properly teaching. No videos or PowerPoint, nothing. Its all up to the student to do the work and she just grades it extremely harshly. Im a straight A student and this is the only class Im not excelling in. I wonder why. Ratings are low for a reason.
this prof is the worst u will ever get ��
She is the WORST teacher YOU WILL EVER HAVE. She grades your discussions like you killed her family. JUST DON'T TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU WANT TO PASS COLLEGE. I WILL REPEAT ALL OF HIGH SCHOOL THEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH HER.
If you have asynchronous, its easy yet hard. Shes a hard grader and only thing I like is she gives us multiple times to fix it to get 100 but it gets so overwhelming at times
she is more concerned about grading your grammar than actually grading your paper. she makes snarky comments, and is the opposite of direct. she's in her 80s and should just give up teaching at this point. She's very rude and rarely says anything of importance.
The worst academic experience of my life. Do not take this class she does not care and she does not grade well. She expects you to know topics you never discussed and will shame you for mistakes. They are Very passive aggressive. This was a nightmare and I feel bad for anyone who has to go through it. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy.
Amy Hannon is the absolute WORST teacher I've ever had. She is very unforgiving and clearly doesn't care whether or not her students pass. She doesn't grade well at all. She gives terrible feedback and makes it impossible to get a good grade. If you don't meet her standards 100% then you will NOT get a good grade. I wish I could drop her class.
At first I really had a hard time with professor Hannon, though with time and practice, you really start to see what she expects and what her standards are. That being said, just really hone in on the deadlines she gives you, better yet, post early on the DBs which gives you time to fix your grade. Good luck!!
Do not take this professor. Nothing you write will be good enough, she is not kind when giving feedback; at times she can be derogatory or condescending when responding to students. She shouldn't be allowed to teach ethics with the unethical approaches she takes to belittling students. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE.
Currently still taking this class. But judging from the assignments I've done, her grading has been WAY too harsh. I tried my best to change my answers according to her replies on the discussions, but she would never say any helpful feedback. She cares about your grammar more than your actual response and is condescending. JUST WAY TOO MUCH WORK.
A very down to Earth professor. Most times, she would end her lecture 30 mins to an hour early if she finished teaching the material for the day. But her assignments are so confusing, and she is extremely critical of how she grades you. Everything must be perfect and exact, down to the title of the assignment.
Be ready to read a lot and write every week for your discussion boards another thing is to pay close attention to what theme you choose because it'll be a part of your final.
Absolute WORST teacher I've had. While I've had my fair share of bad teachers, they would at least grade me accurately. I've never dropped a course so fast. If you make the slightest (and I mean the SLIGHTEST) mistake on a discussion board post, you'll get a failing grade. If you try to correct her, she'll only give you a condescending response.
Horrendous. Never follows the syllabus. Always has some type of negative feedback regardless of how well you do. Tough, tough, TOUGH grader. I don't know how anyone passed let alone do well.
Can't even begin to put into the words the ABSOLUTE MISERY this professor has caused me. You can submit the most quality and professional work and she will still find a way to berate and minimize and any all effort you put into your postings. UNCLEAR grading, horrible test questions, rude, NEVER has one good thing to say to anyone. Stay FAR AWAY!!
She expects you to understand exactly what to do even though she will change her mind about rules after she's already created them, and belittles students for any reason she can. Even though I was in this class for a short amount of time before withdrawing, I found her to be extremely unreasonable, her expectations far outweighed what she provided.
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
If you don't if you enjoy the subject take her if you want a class you can just sit and stare at somebody talk and do no work avoid her but dont listen to these reviews people are LAZY and take classes in subjects they dont like WHICH MAKES NO SENSE
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!!!
