She involves the class.Gives crossword puzzles for review.Tests and quizzes are easy. One big paper on an aspect of any religion covered.You keep a personal journal on reactions to lectures. Lots of extra credit.Easy class,I learned a lot.Kind&respectful.
McCandless is a very fun and laid back teacher. I recomend her class to everyone. She knows a great deal about the material she teaches, and she knows how to make it fun too. The class is very easy if you show up. Easy A and fun.
Simply awesome. Involves every student in class. This is the easiest course ive ever taken.
Very good teacher. Very clear. She gives out study guides before tests. Really helpful if you need answers.
She is a great teacher and has a great personality. Makes you understand religion very clearly. She is one of the best teachers at Delta College. And class is fairly easy.
AWESOME TEACHER. VERY CLEAR. TAKE HER! :)
she is hot
Awesome Teacher! My favorite! You will learn a lot and she makes it fun. She is very respectable towards the students.
I took this the Western religion class and enjoyed that class so much I decided to Eastern religions just for the "hell" of it. As long as you study from your crossword you should do fine on the test. Her tests are pretty easy anyways as long as you have been paying attetion to the lectures. She's a great teacher (and really fit)!
She is so fun and easy going. I loved her class and learned a whole lot. Great personallity and beautiful smile.

You use the book, but very little. Take good notes. Most everything is from lecture. The crosswords are very helpful. Show up to class. No homework except reading and one research paper. Start researching early. Final was really easy. All tests are multiple choice, true/false, one short answer, and maybe one matching. Final was all multiple choice.
It is a BIG class FULL of EXCITED STUDENTS wanting to learn... BUT 1 thing is SHE just talks upfront lecturing and talking soo SOFT and in the back of the class CAN'T even concentrate to hear her at all. AND she DOESN'T write much on the board or gives VIS
the class is really interesting and the she tries to keep it that way. I like it
Ms. McCandless is hella easy! There are no tests, just small, super easy quizzes. She's cool and straightforward. There's just one term paper (6 pages, which is CAKE), and a final. The class is interesting somtimes, hella boring other times. Just your basic class with lectures and notes, and occasionally a video. She's cool though. I recommend her.
Currently enrolled. She is easy, just show up to class and take good notes and everything is from them.She is really straightforward on what she wants you to know for quiz and stuff. So far I have A. I sit at the way back and her voice is definately loud enough...highly recommend her!!
really easy teacher! she gives you crosswords in class and it's not only easy but fun
She knows her stuff! Very interesting class, she makes taking the class worth wild. If you take notes and do the crosswords, (which are fun) there is no way you can fail!!!
Mrs. McCandless is hella cool. She really knows her material. She made learning fun. The class is really easy. Before the quiz she always give you a study guide. Not only the study guide was easy but it was fun. The term paperis easy too. If you dont get full credit for your journal, you must be retarded or somtime because that is soo easy like hec
Don't buy the book. You really don't need it... All you have to do is show up and do the crossword puzzles and you'll be set.
This teacher is awesome! She gives you crossword puzzles to help you for the quizzes. Don't buy the book!!! You only have a 6 page term paper to due. She gives tons of extra-credit. Easy "A" class. If you are close to an "A", she will give it to you.
very boring, always shows movies and lectures like you already knows the material, and really favors her past students
reallyyy easyy techer at delta. i was soo nervos first time i enter the classs but feww days after she become a nice teaher. i really want evenybodyy to take her and have fun. she gave pezzls before test and then she gave everything in that test we learned in the puzzle. really easyy to passs the class with A by doing EC. take her..by
SHE is a 5 on all. She wants you to learn so she makes it fun. Everything they say is true. Dont buy the book. She is the nicest teacher I know. I took both classes at the same time.. not as hard as people may think. Highly recommend her. She is a fair grader.
She is so easy..and her lectures are clear and informative. I loved this class..Don't buy the text book you don't need it FOR REAL. I took her during the summer and got an A. Take her.
So easy! Her study guide is a crossword puzzle that she gives the answers to at the end! She is really nice, and one of the best teachers! I dont think I used my textbook other then to write the paper, and you dont even need it! So I wouldnt buy the book!
very easy class, but you must attend class.
Just attend class every day and study for the quizzes and you'll be fine. I got an A in her class. My grades for my quizzes weren't so good but I did good on my term paper and final so I ended up with an A. She'll give you an A if you're really close to it. Take her class. It's easy and she's a GREAT teacher.
Gr8 teacher! Easy and helpful! awesome class abd teacher!
Fun class, a lot of knowledge, requires aprrox. 1 hour of studying every week. great teacher, enjoyable and fun. Book is not needed. EASY A.
Her class is hard to sit through cuz it's just lecturing about diff. religions. Pretty dry stuff. Sometimes class is fun if u find the material she's teaching interesting. She gives a quiz after each religion u learn, i think we had around 5 quizzes. To help u prepare she gives you crossword puzzles. No hmwk. she tells u 2 read, but no1 ever does.
Great teacher and surprisingly took late work.
SUCH AN EASY COURSE!!! AN EASY A, IF YOU SHOW UP. REVIEW SHEETS FOR EVERY "QUIZ", WAY MORE EXTRA CREDIT THAN FAIR. BUT, SHE SHOWS SOME REALLY BORING MOVIES. AND AN 8-10 PAGE TERM PAPER AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER. I'D RECOMMEND THIS CLASS TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS AN EASY A, IN A HUMANITIES COURSE.
McCandless is a good instructor. Her lectures are interesting and informative. She incorporates group work as a lesson tool. Dont worry, group work is not heavy part of your grade. Glad I took her class. Would recomend to others.
Easy class! Don't need book! Grades are mainly based on quizzes(review worksheet for each one), but there is a research paper due at the end! Advance warning bring something to do when she show a video cause it's BORING!!
Enjoyed this class. Don't need textbook. Borrow it from library. Quizes,research paper and final make your grade. Offers lots of extra credit. Recommended my son take her class next semester.
"EASY" A! TEACHER IS FUNNY AND CARING. CROSSWORD PUZZLES EQUAL TO QUIZZES+ 1 TERM PAPER. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT! ALTHOUGH THIS CLASS IS DRY, ITS AN EASY COURSE.
She is really nice!!! She called me Mr.(Name) all the time which is really cool , because I felt this respect! I would recommend her, Prof. McCandless is a Professional-expert in the field of religion
Lots of note-taking but tests are fairly easy, you have to attend class tests are on the notes taken in class. Very interesting subject.
this teacher failed me! and i dnt kno y. i scored good on the quizes ,journal, midterm, and on the final i even turned in some extra credit!and wen i tried emailing her about it, she never responded! so thanx to her im taking this class again!
cool class to be in, you could def. get an A in the class as long as you do your work.
She is a very nice teacher, But does not provide all the information you need for this test nor is it in the textbooks. Almost every week i would have to email her to get the answer to a few problems. But once you get the information needed the class is very easy. You must study, but with about an hours worth you shuld be good to go for the test.
good class i had nooo interest what so ever in religion but the teacher made the class easy! our only homework is to write in our journals after every class, she really doesnt care what you write and for our midterm, all we did was turn the journals in!!1 easy class. she hands out a study guide b4 each quizz!! i recommend her
Mrs. McCandless is the best teacher here at Delta College. I took her class in Summer of this year and pass it with no problem. She is the greatest teacher. Just do what she ask you to do and you will do just fine. If I can do it everyone can. If I have to take this teacher once in a lifetime, I would do it for sure.
McCandless is a woulderful professor. She clear in her lectures. And provides study guides for quizzes and final. An Essay Paper and some Extra Credit. And Very Funny. I would recomend her class
Had her in the fall and she was pretty cool. Tests and final were online. 1 paper. Extra credit available. Pretty easy A. Lectures were pretty interesting at times.
Easy class, good teacher. do the work and study questions and you will get an A, even missing class will not hurt you, not suggested tho, she does usually take role.
Easy A. Do the study guides, get a good grade on quizzes. No homework. A few in class classwork. Easy extra credit options. 1 term paper. It's mostly online enhanced.
great professor. it's good to always attend class bc you don't want to miss out on important lectures and notes. 1 term paper, don't do it last minute! there's extra credit as well. study guides will be given. i enjoyed this class.
EASY!! You take notes everyday if you do not attend then you must use your book but if you do attend you never touch it. One term paper extremely easy topics on your choice. I did it the day before and got 45/50! Final is super easy. All multiple choice. You have a quiz on each religion and you receive a study guide which is very helpful!
Mrs. McCandles is a fun and good teacher. She makes the class interesting and enjoyable. Test are very easy, it is impossible to fail this class.
Great teacher, super friendly. Will pass if you take good notes, and study before exams
Super easy class and interesting!!!! I learned a lot about Eastern Religion from McCandless.. I took this class during the summer and it went by so super fast.. a GREAT teacher..shes a must have!!!!!
Good lectures. It was an interesting class. A pretty laid back paste on covering chapters. A quiz at the end of every chapter which is no sweat off your brows if you study and read the book. There is a study guide provided before every quiz. blah blah blah... 1 pain in the rear research paper but you have 3-4 months to do it! Wonderful class.
All points come from online quizzes and tests and a large research paper. She marks you wrong for misspelling on online quizzes which is rather annoying given some of the weird names and words that are used. Overall she loves teaching the class and attempts to keep students involved and interested. I'd advise not taking this class with in a 3 hour setting, grows old fast.
Easy class but not a fan of this professor. Quizzes and final online. This semester she didn't require the large final paper only short in class essays on each topic. She doesn't want to be there anymore than you do.
Professor McCandless is the only professor that has ever made me fall asleep in class. Her teaching methods and lectures are super boring. But there is little to no homework and all quizzes and tests are online. It's a pretty easy class so i'd recommend it to someone who's trying to knock out this course with little effort.
It's an interesting subject, and I learned a lot, and got an A. But use a pencil when taking notes, because she will be jumping all over the place and coming back to make corrections. She's terrible at lecturing, and makes things confusing. And the book isn't necessary. I never even bought it, it's all covered in the lectures.
McCandless is an amazing teacher. She makes the different religions easy to relate to and she's entertaining. Be in class, and yes there's stuff online, but it's easy, do it and it will be great. One all one of the best teachers! Oh, and if you like to talk in calss... Don't.
Professor McCandless was a good teacher. I learned a lot on other religions. I just recommend not writing in pen in this class.
All Quizzes are online, essay question in class.
class is super easy! If you fail this class, then you sir, should not be attending college
Quizzes and extra credit are done on etudes. Do the study guide and they'll be on the quiz. Pay attention to the main/basic concepts of each religion and you'll pass the essay questions in class. Super easy A
She is a funny little thing. Overall easy enough to follow and get an A. Just make sure to pay attention and take notes. Be sure to make a friend in class so you have notes the days that are missed. She was pretty understanding of students who had to miss certain days of class, especially considering it was an excelled summer course.
Easy class. Online quizzes. As long as you do the crosswords and study the lecture notes you're good.
She is an awesome teacher! We were a big forum class but it was very easy to get to know her. She's really understanding when you miss class if you tell her ahead of time. We did this big group project type presentation so be sure to make friends! Great teacher and has a interesting sense of humor.
make friends in class so they can sign you in if you miss class! research the religion you study online before a test an you'll pass, her study guides are online posted by former students take of advantage of that. make sure you TAKE NOTES during lecture and she gives extra credit as well, very easy A if you do the work and try of course.
Easy A, you just have to endure her long lectures. All answers to her etudes quizzes and final can be found on quiz let. But for the weekly essay question, you need to pay attention in class if she keeps repeating a certain topic that will be the essay question.
Professor McCandless can sometimes be strict and her notes are written all over the board ( a bit unorganized); however, she assigns no homework. Be sure to take notes and she will always have an essay question, reflection question, and a mini quiz online, once the religion was reviewed in class. Note: all quizzes and final have a time limit.
FINAL / QUIZZES ARE ON ETUDES GIVES A LOT OF EXTTRA CREDIT the question she asks randomly are not hard. just take notes her class was really interesting regret not taking 14B with her
This professor is SO EASY. Her essay questions are so easy too. Just everything about this class is so easy. I don't even care about religion and she made it so interesting to me. I don't know how and why but it just does. I guess she's that good. She's funny sometimes. Most of the assignments are online so it's really easy.
Her lectures are on the white in the classroom no power point , therefore, taking good notes is key in this class. She is very nice . Her tests and quizzes are online she gives a study guide for every quiz and the book is must have.
There are a few group projects. there is an essay question which u have to attend class to get a good grade on. there is a reflection question and quizzes on eash religion which is an easy 100% if u do her crossword study guide. This class was all easy the only part slightly difficult was the essay question. plus no essays. great prof !
Take notes and you'll be fine! Most of the assignments are online - reflections, quizzes, FINAL. The only in-class assignment is the in-class essay. Honestly, the class is pretty boring, but it's easy!
Take notes on everything she writes on the whiteboard and do the crossword puzzle study guides. The book is definitely not needed. Read books in the religion section of the library to understand the material better, if needed. All of the quizzes and reflection questions are done online and a short essay question is done in class.
She repeats herself quite often in her lectures, which gets boring after a while. But, she is straightforward, and I passed without reading the book.
I wouldn't take her again. She is very funny, but not very approachable. Is difficult to follow along, and puts you to sleep.
her lectures are all over the place and very monotone but its a easy passing grade so its whatever
Her lecture is all over the place. Students falling asleep. She just talks into the microphone and no use of technology. She is very nice and sweet but I hope she changes the way she teaches.
Good teacher, Online quizzes and final and studyguides given for the quizzes. I took her for both 14A and 14B certain religions like islam and shinto she didnt reall cover due to time which was sad, I learned quite alot and love her, easy class in general essay questions are like 5 lines,her lecture is repetitive because no one answers her questio
lectures somewhat dull, very nice, she can be a bit straightforward at times, which can be taken in wrong way, classwork is just in class essays (not often), 1 group project, online quizzes, so long as you take the notes she writes on the board, & do the crossword, you're good, don't really need book. not sure if I'd recommend, its an easy A though
Just show up to the lectures and complete your only group project and you'll be fine. Buying the textbook is not necessary since most of the content she quizzes you on she goes over in class. Just pay attention and take notes in class and you'll be fine. She gives you all the answers to the quizzes you'll be taking in class just pay close attention
I took Prof. McCandless over the summer, and it was an easy A. Her lectures are hand written on the board so be prepared to write. Quizzes and reflection questions are online, and she posts a crossword study guide(do them and you'll be set for the quiz). Short essay questions in class, always easy obvious answers. I recommend her.
She's really simple. If you show up to class, you don't even need the book. Fair warning: she's not too good with note taking - you need to write down everything she writes, including things she says that might be on the quiz.
Let me simplify this for you. Textbook: No. Need to be in class: Yes. All her exams take place online, however, you have to go to class and write every single thing she WRITES and SAYS bcuz her notes aren't that good. Study for the in-class essays cause they are tough... no h/w. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. literally could get you the A you need.
She is any easy teacher but you have to be able to focus! Her voice is sometimes low I sat close and could barely here her. Also no book need because she rights everything down! You will have one group project which is fairly easy as well. extra credit is there as well!
Quizzes are a little difficult because everything on the board is not all that is on the test. Listen to her very closely. Essays in class aren't too difficult mostly the main concept of the religion. The group project is easy, just have to work with a few people and I suggest doing it first because you can get it out of the way. Extra credit too.
Mrs. McCandless was the first professor I had in my college career and I fell in love with the class and loved m the professor. She gives clear lectures and is very detailed orally. Be careful when you listen to her and listen carefully. If you participate in the discussions, you'll do fine. The reflections and quizzes are online. Great! Loved it!
Great teacher. She's a little unorganized but overall her lectures are good. She is very nice and willing to work with students as long as you are respectful during classes. Would definitely take her again.
she's an okay teacher, her lectures are a bit sloppy and can get you confused. All the quizzes and final are In canvas. she docent really give time on the quizzes so study. She also gives a in class mini essay about the religion that you are learning at the time. Give LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT. she's really boring but she's easy so take her.
Very simple class to pass. Small, inexpensive textbook. All you need is the book and you're required to reach one chapter every three weeks or so. Homework isnt crazy. I usually get distracted but the book isnt super boring. 10/10 recommend this class to everyone and anyone.
Class is overall easy to pass. Many opportunities for extra credit. Highly recommend sitting near her because she is very quiet. Do not need to pay attention to lectures to get 100% on quizzes.
Really easy class. You can't fail if you do your work. Gives you extra credit and exams are not hard at all.
Be sure to take notes on things she says and write; this will make it easier for the online quizzes and in class essay question. She has study guides and the answers are also on quizlet. In class essay are easy, just be sure to pay attention. There is reflection questions which are opinion questions.
Taking this class online is easy. All you have to do is complete assignments and do extra credit. Most of the answers on study guides, assignments, quizzes, and the final exam can easily be found on google/Quizlet so you don't have to stress yourself out with this class. Overall, this class is a breeze when taking this class online with her.
Honestly shes the best religion professor ever. A reflection, essay question , and quiz each two weeks. Answers can be found by study guide or skimming thru the important parts of each chapter. Your only graded on the important information. Study guides prepare you. Honestly almost every answer on the quiz and final exam can be found on quizlet.
Unclear grading criteria, luckily its a online class and I googled tf outta the whole class. ion even care if I snitch on myself what she gonna do bout it.
During the Covid 19 pandemic I was unable to reach her at all for months. She is incredibly hard on testing and grading. When I did get a hold of her she was very rude. Most of the answers are impossible to find in the book. I had a passion for Eastern Religions and she killed it. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION.
She is kinda unorganized, tbh I didnt use my book at all and passed with a B. She had little assignments online but her quizzes were lw hard. Eh she isnt that bad
Easy class the class is okay. The topics we learned were all kinda the same so it gets boring. But an easy GE class to pass for credit
This class was interesting, and I enjoyed learning from Professor McCandless.
If you need this class for credit, take it. Professor doesn't communicate that much but do what you need to do to pass and you'll be fine.
Really easy class. There were 5 religions that we learned about. There was a discussion, quiz, and reflection question on each one. It was really easy, she gave a study guide for each quiz and the study guide was on quizlet. Plus she gives a lot of extra credit. You do not need the book at all. Highly recommend.
One of the easiest classes I've taken. Super easy A
This class was pretty easy. There weren't any essays but the weekly assignments usually have some writing to them. Usually just a paragraph on the modules. Pretty simple class, try not to miss any assignmsnts though because the total possible points is quite low compared to other classes. I passed with an A without buying the textbook.
I found the class harder than it needed to be. Only things posted are the assignments and brief chapter summaries. Other than that you have to rely on the textbook and maybe outside research. Didn't always email me back in time. Plus the assignments were posted randomly every week to be honest.
Really easy class. She grades a bit hard on the essay questions, but the actual Multiple choice exams are VERY SIMILAR to the study guide. I got a 94% just by following the directions and study guide. This class never took longer than an hour a week. I recommend this for people who are busy! I did not even do the Extra credit b/c i was confident!
Pretty easy class! Barely thought about it throughout the summer and passed with an A. Lots of EC offered, 4 exams, and some discussion boards. Graded by few assignments, so you need to get A's on almost all exams and assignments to finish with an A. Highly recommend this class, easy GE requirement.
This class was really interesting and a good class to take over the summer. Just do your work and you are guaranteed an A! Overall highly recommend this professor.
The class has very few assignments, some extra credit opportunities, and is overall easy. Assignments consist of discussion/response posts, reflections, prompts, and quizzes/exams.
Great professor! Does require textbook, I got mine on Amazon. Gives great, clear instructions. Class mainly focuses on your interpretation and topic of the week. Definitly would take Professor McCandless again.
The layout of the class was nice and easy. There was a lot of reading, but really you just got to do your work and you will do well.
You do have to buy the textbook you can find it on kindle, around like 60 dollars for having it for a few months. The class was very easy and clear, just do a lot of reading and take a quizzes as well. The final was just a big quiz. Just do your work on time and you will pass.
Amazing teacher would take again.
Lots of reading needed to get a good understanding to do assignments. Discussions were easy; one paragraph, respond to 2 peers. Her study guides had typos and weren't very clear, so they didn't help. There are opportunities for extra credit though. Easy class to pass just a little tough on grading. Also checks if we exit the test/quiz page or not.
take this class you won't regret it. Doable with any other classes or difficult class. For the book go on delta Facebook group where you can find good support. Professor provides videos and information of each chapter, study guides for quizzes which are not difficult.5-7 discussions weekly and respond to two others and final exam.
easy class. Quiz after each religion professor provides a crossword puzzle study guide which could be helpful, extra credit work is provided but I didn't need it. This class did not stress me out at all just do all your work to pass with an A, Just understand the material to complete your responses correctly. Doable class
I took this back in fall of 2022, so I'm reviewing this off what I remember. She assigns discussions, quizzes, and a final quiz. I believe there was a midterm quiz, not sure. She has EC opportunities. Be careful bc she checks if you exit the test/quiz page or not. Her class is simple, but if you don't work then you fail (EC won't be enough).
Her class wasn't difficult and not a lot of assignments. Just a lot of readings and she does provide a study guide cross words, however, it was hard to even understand her study guide, give us a short amount of time on our quizzes/exam. I did EC work but it made no difference in my grade. I did pretty well on my final but I ended up with a B.
TBH, her class is relatively easy, but it involves alot of reading.The study guides she provides are confusing,due to the typos and mistakes she sent out for a different class.Even tho I did EC and made progress on my quizzes and exams,it didn't impact my grade at all. I put in so much effort to improve my grade,but it didn't make any difference.
When picking the class I was understanding that there was no text book. Go online for class and we need books that cost over $100, close to $200. I'm doing my best reading the modules and utilizing the online library book for the class. I'm doing the best I can, I give my opinion in our discussions and she gives me half points.
Professor McCandless wasn't my original instructor, and once she took over, the class atmosphere shifted. Her feedback felt crass and unprofessional, and instead of feeling supported, I felt discouraged and anxious. It was emotionally draining, and I hope the school considers how her behavior impacts students.
She forgot to submit almost every lecture, which made it hard to work on tests. She was a kind person, but she was not organized. Heavy on tests, took forever to grade. Textbook costs over 100 bucks if you're lucky a lower price is 50 or 75. It's possible to pass, but extremely stressful and I would not recommend this if you get overwhelmed easily.
A lot of extra credit but she wasn't organized. She regularly forgot about grading and also releasing work. She doesn't give good feedback and her textbooks are SUPER expensive. Overall she is a kind person but if you have a lot of classes going on at once, choose a different professor.
