Anyone who has trouble following him is a dumbass.

Nice guy..very understanding & approachable. Keeps you busy w/ projects, quizzes

Good guy.. not to sure about final grading policy.. easy class as whole

Great instructor - gives you guidance but lets you learn on your own in your own way. Very insightful.

The class is easy, don't need to listen to lecture. I would often catch up on other homework in the class. The class is boring, but finally getting a good grade in an accounting class was worth it.

I thought it was an easy accounting class....helped the GPA. Is a boring class, but tests/prequizzes are easy. The SUA is not that bad...just requires a lot of time. Do good on that and the take-home midterm and you'll be golden.

Very helpful. He helps his students get their money's worth and is not afraid of making positive adjustments. If you can't handle the work load you probably should not be in the business program (grad or undergrad). Enjoyed having him as a prof.

He'll help if you ask for it. Class can be boring, but what can he do - it's the topic. SUA is not his fault, shouldn't be that bad if you don't put it off. Midterm take home and the SUA are key.

This prof knows what he is talking about and he does a good job explaining it all. He tries to give useful information. I learned a lot and got a good grade in the end, it was a win-win situation.

Class topics were difficult but he grades on a curve and tests are open book(still hard though). Book isnt really necessary, I only ever really used powerpoints. But i guess if you want to learn then buy it.

Awesome Prof! He really knows what he's talking about, works with individual students to help them out, and makes class interesting with his real-world experience. The material is tough but he grades on a curve. I really recommend this class and prof.

Very boring class to attend, but he gives you take home exams and online "pre-quizzes" that are a bit tough but if you know how to go around the system you can get 100% on them all. I just sat on my computer surfing the net while he was giving his lectures.

Has a wide range of knowledge from actual experiences. He does like to go on tangents, but it keeps the class interesting. Great teacher if accounting is your niche

Cannon is a good professor, the problem is that it's accounting so it's not going to be a walk in the park. He doesn't use connect or online stuff which was great because you could cut down the costs of the class and the workload. Always answers questions and helps when he can. Would recommend.

A great professor if you want to actually understand accounting, not so great if all you want from the class is an A. His lectures are more focused on understanding concepts than solving problems so they won't get you ready for the test. Class is manageable if you do the homework and go to his office hours.

The summer class is more condensed; less projects, quizzes, and don't have to do a presentation. Downside is lectures are long. Dr. Cannon reads off a PowerPoint (be prepared to take notes fast). Some concepts he explains well and others not so much. He gives a take home mid-term exam that is lengthy to write. Group projects but far less than fall.

This man was the reason I got a good job after college. He gets a lot of negative feedback because he, unfortunately, teaches a boring topic. However, he has extensive knowledge on accounting and IT. Pick his brain. He talks a lot, but what he says has tremendous value.

Prof. Cannon is one of my favorite professors at GVSU. He is possilby the only ACC prof that does not use Connect (the online book). He believes accounting is to be learned "at the tip of a pencil" and by the end of the class I agreed. 3-4 exams that are challenging, homework for each chapter (credit-no credit) and easy extra credit. Great prof.

Professor Cannon is the best prof at GV, he saved my life.

Cannon doesn't deserve the bad rep he gets on here. He's a quirky dude but a good teacher. I enjoyed his classes. The first half of the class felt heavy but after that it got pretty light. Doesn't grade everything you do and doesn't really use blackboard. Exams are take-home essays with around 15 MC q's. DO NOT CALL HIM PROFESSOR KLUMP

He is the reason I changed my major to accounting. He's super nice and is fully capable of explaining things in more than one way. He's easy to talk to and he knows what he's talking about not just about accounting.
