Prof. McCann is extremely competent. He is highly energetic. Treats students with respect. Gives fair exams, but you need to work. Reviews everything. recommend him to anyone.
Awsome....Very clear in notes great for those visual learners! Somehow managed to make rocks fun. Make sure to study for exams and you can pass with an A.
He is a really great professor who does his best to help his students pass. His class is not difficult and you bAsically have to do nothing to not earn a C or higher. I would definitely recommend him.
Great professor! Great sense of humor! Fun class! I strongly suggest him as a teacher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Professor McCain is an incredibly adept and highly intelligent professor. He knows his stuff very well and does everything in his power to facillitate the learning of his students. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to take Geology. He informs you very well about what will be required for examinations and reveiws everything. He is awesome.
Prof. McCann is pretty cool. His exams are easy if you actually take the time to memorize the material. He has a great sense of humor and makes Geology interesting. I highly recommend taking his class!
Did a great job! Imitation of the Doppler effect is hilarious. Can be a bit sneaky about upcoming exams. Watch for trick question (not very many though) I would be happy to have another class with him.
i loved this class!! her really made it worth coming to class. i feel like im a rocket scientist after this class because there is so much stuff that normal people dont know that i learned. i will definitely take his class again
Guy McCann is an awesome teacher! He made Astronomy really easy to understand, as hard as that may be. I say everyone should have him as a teacher! Take his class!
This teacher is one of the best I have ever had. His class is fun and interesting, he makes alot of jokes. no one in my class got less then a B on a test. You really dont need a textbook, you will just take notes on what you need to know. I got an A in his class with no problem. TAKE THIS CLASS! you wont regret :)
woody allen lookalike. lots of jokes. if you attend classes, take the notes he makes it clear should be taken and have the ability to memorize enough information to take two tests, you will get an A+. in fact you would have to try real hard to fail this class!
Professor McCann is a fantastic instructor with a variety of University credential's. Of the many, my favorite is Berkley. He is exciting, humorous, informative and enthusiastic in lecture. Never will board um be an issue. I highly recommend any class with Professor McCann especially the Physical Science's.
Professor McCann says that time travel isn't possible under today's circumstances--I think he's an alien that ages very slowly, who has traveled very far and is trying to cover it up! Take his class, you'll love it.
Simply put, Prof. McCann is one of the best teachers you will ever have. He brings the subject of Astronomy to life, allowing his students to understand even the most complex subjects and ideas. One of the few prof.'s that actually cares about his students and how well they do. From day one you feel like you made the right choice taking his class.
Throughout my 3 semesters, Prof Mccann has been my absolute favorite! I started out with him taking Physical science, I just finished taking Geology with him. Both are awesome classes, and I plan on taking Astronomy next semester. He has an awesome sense of humor, and I got a real kick out of his jokes and Al Gore rants. Keep up the good work Prof!
Guy is a good teacher, and a good geologist. He is a caring instructor with a sense of humor. Easy to get an A, if you apply yourself in his class. Willing to help you above and beyond the norm if needed. Very knowledgeable and easy going. Great teaching style that will NOT leave you bored and sleeping. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. A+++
Awesome prof. Very helpful if you have trouble and makes class easy if you apply yourself. <3
I took geology with him, and he was just honest: "C'mon people, how interesting can ROCKS really be?" I don't know how, but he made the most boring of topics interesting. He's funny and very passionate about science.
Best professor ever! I took both Geology and Astronomy with him. He took all the concepts that I thought I couldn't wrap my mind around & made them simple to understand and very interesting. He shows you how things work instead of just telling you. His teaching is very down to earth and is always willing to answer any questions that anyone has. A+
Great professor. Passionate about science but is able to relate it to non-science people with ease. Hilarious to listen to him talk and go on about stuff, the perfect epitome of what a sci teacher should be. Plus he knows his stuff, the man has a doctorate. AND he worked in Amsterdam for a while ;)
great professor, funny, all around a fun class. he's a great guy. i highly recommend taking this Class with Professor Guy McCan
Good professor, I definitely recommend him. Classes consisted of lectures and powerpoint presentations and grade is based on the five or so exams given. Material is difficult, but he explains it well. Exams are challenging, but not impossible as long as you study. Lecture notes are posted online and reviews are given prior to exams.
Geology. Great class. You learned if you wanted to and if you didnt you could still get an A.
Professor McCann is very knowledgeable and a great instructor. He is one of the few instructors that keeps you in tuned with the Meteorology course material. His unique teaching style makes the class a great one. He has a great sense of humor and focuses only on the materials needed for passing.His exams are well covered and concise.
Prof. Mccann us a fantastic teacher, the material is very simple and basic and i highly recommend the course. Mccann himself is very easy going and very funny and sarcastic and makes class enjoyable, I would marry that man if i was 20 years older!
Very good teacher, very funny, sarcastic, straight to the point, easy to pass, highly highly recommend taking this class with him. A+++++++++!
Very funny and direct. I liked his class because the guy was also very down to earth and not a complete asshat like alot of teachers can be. All in all this guy is the man, take his class and you wont be disappointed.
Love this Professor!! He is so Funny and very Knowledgeable in all of his fields of study. He thinks his class is slack but we actually learn a lot! Every class we go over a very structured powerpoint.I love him because it is easy to get an A in the class but you dont leave the class without learning something! WOULD recommend taking him for every
This guy is THE BEST TEACHER I have ever had. Love the class and his powerpoints. He is very straight forward about Exams and what will be on them. Very funny and is a REBEL like me. Def recommend him. McCann is the S***. (:
Mccan is awesome. Just call him professor though or doctor he doesn't like his name
My favorite professor! Class was very easy if you pay attention or study. No homework or projects. Only 4 exams. Very funny and helpful man. I would recommend to anybody.
My super hott teacher Mr. Mccann was wonderful to be around, he keeps class interesting and always has a great attitude psc 1341 isn't very challenging but its fun
WONDERFUL PROFESSOR!
Professor McCann is amazing! The best teacher I've ever had, I recommend him to everyone. In his astronomy class there is only 4 assignments, which are all multiple choice quizzes. He has a full review day before each test and provides a study sheet. He provides notes, no homework ever. The hardest math problem is D= 1/P.
This teacher was great! He made the subject that he was teaching more interesting with his personal inputs on everything. Made me enjoy class a lot more than I would have normally. 5*'s for this guy. Good JOB!
EXCELLENT TEACHER! TAKE HIM FOR ANY SCIENCE CLASS YOU MAY NEED! I was so worried about passing his class! Science is my absolute worst supject! But I passed with a pretty good grade! Pay attention to lectures, course notes and do the questions at the end of chapters those are his test questions! Study guides are exactly like his tests!
Great teacher i would tell anyone i know that HATES science to take it with him!!
He is a really great teacher. He makes learning meteorlogy fun. He is a very loud and outgoing teacher. I am planning on taking more classes with him. If you take his class you should pass it no problem
Lively and keeps it interesting.
Mr.McCann taught the class meteorology with ease. It seemed that he cared about each student's individual performance as well as the performance of the class. His exams came with on the dot study sheets. He worked with me when I had a problem instead of dismissing me. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in the field or the credits!
Professor McCann is a pleasure in the classroom! Informative, energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgable - with the real-life experience to back it up!The all-around hottest teacher at the campus! - take all the courses he offers! He has the magnetism to keep you coming back for more!
Prof. Guy McMann, where do I begin? I will remember this prof. for as long as I can. He made this semester worth coming to class. He is a pleasure in and out of the classroom, he cares about his students, and wants them to succeed. Any time you had a question, he makes sure to answer it the way you can understand. I originally took this class to l
Prof.McCann is great. He makes this class fun and exciting. He is very helpful,and there for you if you need anything.I know fellow classmates that you will enjoy this class and just like myself,Mr.McCann will be sure that your experience at PHCC is a great one. He makes you laugh, and cares deeply about what he teaches us.He is the best Prof.I had
Really loved this Prof. He had a great since of humor and made the class fun. I would deff. recommend him for any class he teaches.
Amazingly funny man, interesting class (Astronomy)
Professor McCann is one of the best instructors I've had. He really knows his stuff and has a great sense of humor. Attendance is not mandatory but you will enjoy attending class. Professor McCann really wants students to succeed and gives you everything you need to do well in his class. There are four exams-- do the reviews and you will do well!
Amazing and one of the best teachers at PHCC take his class you will love his class.I am making my own daughter take his class. 4 test study both hand out and study questions and you will do amazing. Go to class you will learn from this instructor.
recommend his class
Professor McCann is phenomenal.I never had to use my text book because he explains everything much better than the book. Great Teacher i had so much fun in his class he's really funny and really really smart.
MR. MCann was very helpful and he was a very funny respectable likeable person. I had a lot of stuff going on in my life while I was attending his class and he was very helpful for me.
GREAT teacher! very knowledgeable and helpful, he really knows what he is talking about! he makes jokes throughout the course and makes a boring class seem really fun! he had me laughing the whole semester, I would definitely recommend taking him!!
He is an amazing teacher. He is very passionate about what he teaches. To fully understand everything you should attend class but they are a lot of fun if you like the subject. If he taught other classes in my area I would take him again. I recommend him to everyone wanting to take Astronomy.
RECOMMEND HIM FOR ANY SCIENCE CLASS! Extremely help, very simple and gives the questions for all exams on this syllabus the first day. Helpful, easy, nice and encouraging. Best teacher!
Awesome
Professor McCann is absolutely phenomenal! Very animated presentations. He makes information easy to understand. Would recommend him to anyone!
Prof.Guy McCann,is one of a kind!He cares about his students and is extremely informative,energetic, and enthusiastic.You can not go wrong taking his class!Enjoy...
Awesome!!! YOU WILL ENJOY HIS CLASS A+
Professor McCann is an awesome professor. He'll do what he can to help you pass his courses. Keeps the classes motivated and engaged!
Answers all questions you have and makes the class a fun one! Just a quick warning though: the first few tests do have trick questions, but if you study the study sheet and review you'll be fine! All and all I loved this class and would take over!
Super EASY class! The teacher is so funny! He gives you study sheets for each test, as long as you study that you will pass. There are a few trick questions on the first 3 tests, but if you just think you will get them.
Mr. McCann,class is so enjoyable! I took him for Astronomy and it requires you to think but your thinking about cool stuff! The book you don't need at all because he has the notes from the book placed online and he gives you a copy. He is very funny. You will enjoy his class. Attendance is not required just be there on test/note day
Professor McCann is a great teacher. Very loud and likes to crack jokes. I was hoping to get much more out of the class since I was looking into minoring in meteorology. But, its a very basic class. Doesn't require you to show up all the time. You really only need to show up to get a review sheet and the test days. Only have four grades/tests.
He was great. I didn't care to take his class at first but after just one class I knew I would love it. I looked forward to his class every week. You do not have to attend but you will want to. Hes a lot of fun and he knows his stuff. 4 tests make up your grade and he gives you the answers on the review that are almost identical. :)
Easiest teacher you could ever have, no book required, I recommend throwing this class in a semester where you may be overwhelmed, he doesn't require you ever come and gives you the answers to all the tests, If you were real about being an astronomer, you may look for a more challenging course, but if you just want an easy cool elective, TAKE HIM
Professor McCann is great! This is my second class with him and I wish a lot of my previous professors were like him. My class was 1x week, which is good and bad. 4 tests are your grade and he gives you reviews with the answers the class before the tests. You don't need to attend the lectures often to get a good grade. Just study the reviews!
This is an extremely enjoyable instructor! Mr. McCann has a great personality, and knowledgeexperience beyond school budget! The book isn't required, lectures are off the notes he prints and hands out, and his at home reviews are very similar to the exams. If your semester is looking packed with suck?... take this Guy for some relief!
MET2010 When he says "the test is 12 pictures of clouds & spell the names correctly" study the names & spelling. Some didn't pass thinking clouds were too easy to study. GLY2010 When he says "the test is only 4 questions," please study the open ended answers. Once again some students didn't pass thinking 4 questions must be simple. Very easy A.
I took the once a week class for Intro to Astronomy by McCann and I loved his teaching style! He really dumbed it down for us college students in a way that we can easily comprehend. He's hilarious and approachable; he will make sure that you understand what he's teaching before moving on. I plan on taking future courses by the same professor. :)
You will learn so much from this Professor, about science and about life in general! He's funny and an all around great guy, but he also wants you to learn the material. He gives exciting lectures with fun science experiments. Every student should take him!
Great teacher , if you study you will pass, I took him for as many classes as I could he that good.
Hilarious and always try's to crack jokes to keep you interested. He is so passionate about what he teaches so he gets very into it. If i could take more classes i would.
This professors class is pretty straight forward. Its a matter of passing four tests and keeping attendance and the student is guaranteed an A or a well earned B. He is extremely entertaining as well as insightful in regards to both the topic material being discussed, as well as loads of extra knowledge on the subject. Awesome professor!
Professor McCann is AMAZING. He does not grade attendance, but that won't matter because his lectures are so cool you'll WANT to show up to class. He's animated on his subject matter and it made me (a person who dislikes sciences in general) completely enthralled. He gives great study guides and spends a class reviewing for the tests. Love him!
This dude is awesome & hilarious. He marks everyone present everyday. You don't have to buy the bk because he has one in class for you to use & take pics of QsAs. Tests are all memorization, but he will stump you on a few Qs. Theres a review day right before test. he does cool experiments in class if you're there. 4 grades, all tests. I got a 92.
He's so funny, This is one of my favorite teachers! I'm taking every class taught by him they are too easy! Don't need books gives you a "study sheet" before test and it's impossible to fail!
He is one of the great ones. I have taken him three times. "TAKE HIS CLASS" YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. The best teacher at PHSC in the science department. I can't say enough good things about him. If you fail his class it your own fault he gives you the tools to do very well.
Took Intro to Astronomy and had a great experience with Professor McCann. He's eager to share the knowledge he has and is level with his students. Lectures are usually interesting and he always provided lecture notes and study guides for exams. There were only 4 grades for the semester based on the exams so do your best to study for those.
Professor McCann is a very interesting teacher. Love his lectures and he makes it to where you learn a lot. Love him !I took two of his classes.
Hysterical Professor! Fascinating class. 4 tests notes given. Astronomy is complicated but he makes learning fun & interesting. Can't wait to take him again! Don't buy the book fyi
Mr. McCann is great! He makes it clear from the start that he is not out to make your learning difficult. He wants everyone to pass and if you don't while taking this class you didn't put any effort. This class is mainly reading and posting discussions. He gives practice exam questions and most are on the exam maybe worded differently.
EASY! EASY! EASY! Can't say I learned much but definitely worth taking.
Really cool teacher! He's very interested in his work, don't buy the textbook, throw away the outlines, and just study the test review! He helped many students with their grades on the last test I don't think one person withdrew or failed.
Best professor ever!!! It's nice not having a class in which you have to stress over the grade and subject. He's very passionate about his work. Study and memorize the answers and you'll get a 100!
One of the best teachers I've had, tests were super easy if you do the review and show up for class.
Will he probably be the easiest, if not, one of the easiest classes you will ever take? Probably yes. Will you learn a lot from taking his class? Absolutely! Best decision I made was taking his class. Learned an incredible amount from it.
One of the best professors I've ever had and one of the best classes I've taken!! Took class online only had about five discussion posts, two quizzes, and 3 tests all semester. He has a practice test before the actual test and 40 questions from the practice test are on the test so basically gives you answers for the test, very easy A!!
I took astronomy online and I loved the class. He gives you practice exams, which if you do them then you simply cannot fail his exams. Make sure you do all of his group discussions because those are heavily weighed in your grade. I learned a lot while also enjoying the class.
He is, in my opinion, one of the greatest professors at PHSC. Hands down.
This was my first semester in college and I am 52, I took his meteorology class for the science course I need, he is the BEST! I couldn't wait to go to his class, he made learning very fun, gives you review sheet week before test day, I wish I could take him again, but don't need anyone science, LOVED is class!
Honestly he is the best professor I have had so far, amazing human being and class! Thank you! :) Took for intro to astronomy btw!
Guy McCann is the best guy around. Thanks.
Guy has crazy lectures that will make you laugh. Gives you reading material for every lecture and also gives you the 50 questions that will be on each exam with answers. If you can remember the answers and take the exams you will pass. Stress free class.
great teacher, you have to do a weekly discussion about a website that posts space stuff around 300 words and then a reply to a student like 175. all of his exams have a practice. TAKE THE PRACTICE EXAM all of the answers on the exam will be in practice one. a great simple class to take if you wanna squeeze in another class.
This man is a real gem as a geology teacher! His class rocks! So easy, very funny, automatic A!
Easy A, that is all i have to say. The easiest college class i have ever taken in my life. Was really shocked by it but wont complain because i loved it.
I have TAKEN ALL OF HIS CLASSES. He knows his material, however is easier to take ON CAMPUS, because you never have to show up. He gives you a review of what the exams will be, he provides all the class notes, brings in cool materials. Easiest classes i have ever taken. I would do them all again.
Guy is the best professor Ive had - he keeps the students interested and locked in during the lecture and makes each class worth showing up for. Without a doubt would recommend taking any and/or all of his classes. The material is quite interesting and he does a lot of super cool demonstrations among the class.
Professor McCann is an amazing professor and knows what he is teaching. His lectures are funny and important for the exams. I took his Astronomy class last Spring and will be finishing his Geology class. Your grade is based on only 4 exams and he gives you the notes for his class. I would definitely recommend you to take his class.
I've taken two classes from this professor and loved both. The syllabus is clear and very easy to follow when you have a full work load. You do 7 discussions about 150 words each, 75 word reply. 2 quizzes and 4 exams total.
He really is a good teacher. I recommend taking his class.
By far the best professor! Ive taken every single one of his classes. If he taught more, i would take those too. Loved his class!
Best Professor - Easy A - You can't possibly fail he's class - everything is basically a given.
Guy McCann is one of the best teachers I have had. I have taken his astronomy class and meteorology class and loved them both. He is so funny and his lectures are so interesting, I would definitely recommend him!
funniest teacher I have ever had
This class was amazing! SURVEY PHYS SCIENCES and this professor is AMAZING!! The video lectures were fun and Professor McCann really makes learning great! I wish all professors were as fun, energetic, and made learning fun as he does. Clear guidelines pay attention and you will pass. He truly loves science and it shows! Took class online in summer
Every week, there is a quick writing assignment which is kind of hard to do without getting the answers from the book. There is also a quick weekly quiz and a discussion or video quiz every other week. The assignments aren't hard, you just gotta do them. There are two midterms and a final, which you basically get the answers from practice quizzes.
Mr. McCann is a great teacher. He makes class fun. If you show up to class and review your notes and study guides there is no reason to get anything below a A+ I would def take his class again.
I really enjoyed his Astronomy class, he was a very funny and energetic professor and I would take his class again. He only graded by his 4 exams but he gave out study guides with the answers, so it is an easy A if you come to class and pay attention.
Proffesor Mccan was great, I took him for both Intro to Geology and Intro to Astronomy. Super easy class if you need simple classes to boost your GPA take one with him. The class consists of 5 exams that are the exact replica of the study guide they're open note tests, discussions that there are no right answer to & mini quizzes in between.
Super easy to pass, the way he set up his modules was weird though.
I took 2 classes with him and he is so easy! Online courses make my life easier in general-but honestly we don't need a text book, internet resources and the info he provides is more than enough to get the class done quick. I worked ahead and got the classes completed early.
So easy. TAKE HIM. Gives study guides for every test which is the exact test. Had very few assignments, and I never used the textbook. Fun discussion posts about NASA pictures of the day. Professor was so sweet and such an easy grader.
Super easy class as long as you do the review for the exams and just stay up to date on the NASA discussions of the day you will pass with an A+
This is the easiest class you will ever take at PHSC Not sure how you get anything below an A. If you trying to rack up some credits take every class Professor McCann has to offer.
A lot of discussions. but they're easy. You write about a picture from EPOD and give additional information (questions provided in the assignment). Exams have the same questions and answers as the practice. Some are not found in the practice, but they can be found online.
Honestly recommend this teacher to everyone! He's so funny and I've taken every science class and elective I could with him. Because he is just that awesome and very understanding if something comes up. He's a MUST HAVE teacher!
Easy and very relaxed professor. I learned a lot and genuinely enjoyed the class.
Best astronomy professor ever! He truly made an effort to help students learn, he was funny and his class kept me engaged. Seriously an enjoyable class.
He is an amazing professor and is very funny. He keeps the lectures light fun and interesting. No home work just study which is great. Gives a good amount of time to review before each test. 10/10 would def reccomend!
Professor was very caring. He kept his lectures fun and interesting. He would tell jokes to try to keep the class happy and focused. Easy A class. He never gives homework. Prepares you for the test very well.
Was really easy. He gives you a practicum exercise for each unit w 50 question and picks 40 of them for the test. You practice as much as you wants and look at cool pictures every week. An easy A as long as you do what needs to be done.
Professor Mccann, was great! He was reachable and responded quickly. He offered extra credit and his class was an easy A!
Easy A! Professor McCann was so helpful! Dont walk run, and sign up for his classes! You wont regret it.
Highly highly recommend McCann! I took his class online but he makes sure you have everything you need to study! Will definitely be taking another class of his!
This is a post waaaayyy after the fact. I had Professor McCann in 2009 and 2010 for several different classes. He is simply the smartest person I've ever met and the best professor I had while going to school. Smart and caring, nerdy and cool, bro is simply impressive. I loved his classes and I hope he reads this and hears how much he rocks!
