VERY good professor! She is funny and likes to tell stories. Attendance isn't mandatory, but best if you want to make a good grade. Her lectures are on powerpoints, which she also posts on Angel. If you pay attention and study, you will do fine!

Great teacher. Helpful, nice. Easy A. 3 exams including final. A project on ur "dream house," which is a large portion of ur grade, but very simple to do and ace. Highly recommend this class.
Mrs.Lannon is such a nice lady! It is not mandatory to come to class. There is no homework. All your grade is based on is a studyy abroad power point presentation and one test other than the midterm and final...thats it! The tests arent hard if you participate on quiz days youll do great! If she gives you a choice ask for short answer tests!
Need to keep up with lectures. Much better to go to class than study posted lectures. Loves Geography and knows a lot about it. Helpful, wants you to learn, not memorize
Heid was awesome! At first you seem a little thrown off and confused, but as long as you go to class you'll be fine when the test comes around. She really is a good teacher, a little fast, but good and she will help you out.
Ms.Heidi is one of the nicest teachers i have ever had. I'm gonna be honest.. i thought the tests were hard. as long as you show that you care about your grade she will go over and beyond to help you out. one thing that will help you for the tests are... if you write all the quiz Questions down and study them you will get As on your 2 tests.
This is the best teacher in the world!!! She is hilarious, and really teaches you the concepts, not just the facts! I would recommend her to everyone!!! :) You've gotta love her British accent too!!! :)
BEST TEACHER EVER!!! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Ms.Lannon.She has a great sense of humor and makes her class enjoyable. She doesn't take attendance, and as long as you study the Power Points, you'll be fine. Also, gives a lot of extra credit.And the BEST THING OF ALL is that I really learned a lot in this class! Isn't it great? TAKE HER:)
Awesome teacher! Makes class interesting! Test bank quizes and final with an exam in the middle that if you go to class you will do well on!
She is a fantastic professor! She makes learning the material really fun. As long as you show up, participate in class, and pay attention, you will pass. She gives a lot of chances for extra credit and that helps with your test scores. You will learn a lot of information and hear some great stories. Take her class!
She's awesome, period. Come to class, enjoy the lecture, speak up. You'll get an A!
A great teacher, certainly is an expert in Geography, she's been everywhere. The tests were online and hard, and timed so you can usually use your book if you are familiar with the material. It was actually the best course I've had at Santa Fe due to the teacher being entertaining. She enjoys teaching and makes you want to learn more!
She has a Ph. D. in geography so she expects more out of her students. She isn't a tough grader. The presentations are pretty easy but worth a huge part of your class grade. Tests are very hard! You will do much better going to her class than skipping but she doesn't take attendance.
took her online class and it was hard! the exam is ridiculous, study guide not helpful! material not interesting at all! overall a terrible experience and terrible teacher! team project was ok but she doesnt offer any help when you have questions, she'll just refer you to someone else. dont take her if you can help it!
I took this class online and to me it was hard. This may be due to the book which was not well written at all or my lack of interest in this class. The teacher does not respond to questions asked on the discussion board and hardly though email. Doing the group assignment was annoying only b/c of my rude partner. My overall grade was a B though.
My 1st online class. Teacher was helpful and met with me even during exams week. It was hard, all the material was there, could have been me tho!
My 1st online class. Teacher was helpful and met with me even during exams week. It was hard, all the material was there, could have been me tho!
Best teacher ever. I know ms. Lannon says not to use Rate my Professor, but in case any of you are checking, she is so fun and engaging even if you dont really care about geography like her
heidi is a great teacher. very helpful, always available, keeps office hours. i could have care less about geography, but she made it interesting. plus we got to go caving. it was sweet. yes, yes, yes.
Good teacher made class, fun also deff go on the field trips they are actually enjoyable
Whats not to love - enthusiastic teacher who atually seems to like students and will help you. Cares more that you learn than anything
Online class is disorganized. Instructions were outdated and unclear. Teaching the class did not appear to be a priority. Disappointing feedback and communication. Exams are nothing like the lectures, quizzes or homework and are poorly worded. The textbook is essential. I earned an A but would not recommend this professor for an online course.
Hard to take a class like this in Summer. Lots too learn. Teacher very helpful and interested
Took it online. Awesome quizlet review for the final
It is a lot to learn, but Heidi is an interesting & great prof! The course is quizzes, activities(on comp.), final, & one presentation(so easy). The final is hard, but do well on everything else & your exam grade won't hurt you. I got a D on it, but still got an A in the class. She is very helpful. Would def. recommend this as a third english
Heidi is awesome. I am a geography major, and she has made it extremely interesting. She takes great field trips (today we went to a bat cave), actually gets the student engaged in learning, and is hilarious. I am moving back to Ohio after this semester, only can hope for another kick a$$ professor like Heidi. Probaly the best prof at Santa Fe.
I hated this class. There was an online assignment worth a huge chunk of your grade that she barely even spoke of or gave details about aside from a brief mention of it. Which resulted in me and a handful of other students having to do damage-control at the end of the semester just to slip by. Plenty of better GEO teachers at SFC.
Heidi is the best! She makes everything so interesting and fun. I actually look forward to going to this class, and I hope to take more classes with her. HIGHLY recommend her! She makes it impossible to fail, and she really does care.
Just finishing a hard semester, This class made it bearable. I enjoyed going and our class had fun. We had a study group that was encouraged by the teacher. This is the kind of learning I wanted from College
Where to start? Too many lecture notes to remember when you take the test you have to remember all the chapters plus the notes that she gives and there really isn't any good lectures its all power point with pictures quizzes were ok but everything else was not worth the effort a person puts into it. find a professor that is better!
If you have to take an honors course, TAKE THIS CLASS. No exams, only one presentation the entire semester. We literally went on a boat to an island for one of our exams. Seriously, honors students, take her. You won't regret it when you get to go to class and relax. I didn't take notes once and got an A.
Good teacher, cool, funny, and nice but her tests are impossible! Somehow, got a B.
INSANELY easy Honors course. I mean, wow. If you want an easy keep your GPA class up, this is the one. No test, no notes. Attendance isn't mandatory. Your grade is based off a leniently graded project and we took a boat trip as a final. TAKE THIS COURSE :)
Extremely disorganized. Expects assignments on time without leniency when she can't even have them posted on time. She is teaching the class FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY and is distracted to say the least. Very frustrating to contact, frustrating to follow, and her quizzes are unreasonable. Avoid.
Where to begin! One of the worst classes i have ever taken. She would not respond to any questions I had on quiz or test. She was also out of the country for the whole semester. Her power-points were mostly pictures.
So helpful and knowledgeable. Take this lady, she cares about sstudents learning geography
Heidi is a really great teacher and is hilarious. It's an easy course and she makes it interesting, but her exams can be difficult. She took us to the Santa Fe Bat Cave and Seahorse Key in Cedar Key where we trenched out sealife on a large boat and got to interact. I would recommend her and her courses!
Prof is chill. Class is fun. Take this
Loved this class. Want to know about the world and get a good grade then take this teacher
Alos took online class with this teacher. She was SO helpful but the Canvas program is just a BIG problem. Really liked all the help I got anyways
Awesome. Love this lady. She likes students and Geography and makes it fun
Such an interesting person and class. She is so nice and even loaned me her text when mine went missing. It was stolen I think
Take this class. Awesome person
Great professor, very clear when she speaks and makes the class fun and entertaining. Doesn't do much teaching though, makes 100+ long presentations and covers only about 20 slides, the rest must be reviewed at home. TEST ARE IMPOSSIBLE, everything is from the book and is never seen in class. Take this class if you don't mind studying on your own.
Horrible online teacher. No feedback, always takes forever to respond,gives unclear directions and than grades harshly with no explanation or feedback. Just makes it blatantly clear that you are her last priority. Maybe a good in class teacher but worse online class yet and ive taken quite a few.
Horrible online teacher. Takes forever to respond to you, shows no leniency or sympathy although her dates on canvas are often incorrect and her endless powerpoints are unclear and disorganized, Grades harshly with no feedback. She makes it blatantly clear that you are her last priority. Never gave a teacher a bad review til now.
She's really nice and teases a lot. The grading criteria was confusing because grades on Canvas were different from what she actually gave you since she never updated grades. Exams were screwed up so online it would say you have an A but you actually have a low C. I didn't know my real grade till after grades were posted on the SF website. :/
Easiest online class iI ever took. Hate Canvas but prof is v. sympathetic
Took this class with Miss Heidi and she let you pick which things you want to use for your grade. Very flexible. Lots of extra credit too
Great teacher. Go to class after exam. Exam is quite hard but she lets the class decide if the questions were fair and takes off the ones we agreed were too hard. really, she did. Note - know what Purdah is
Awesome professor. Learned a lot of useful stuff. Who knew it was some useful. Brings brownies to class
World Geography is a great class. She knows so much and makes it interesting. Lots to learn but it is fun. I just picked this randomly and would HIGHLY recommend
Online class and all that goes with that. Not bad, would recommend it. She is very interactive, taped lectures with scripts. Extra credit, easy quizzes.
Easy online class. I paper, 1 powerpoint and Exams. Quizzes every 2 weeks with 10 questions. Just make sure you do them, they are easy but they add up if you skip them
LOVE this class. Cool teacher, fun assignments. Get to go outside and get to know your class really well because you all work together. You should take this. Its a good alternative to others in teh same group.
Nice lady. Horrible teacher! Very unclear on all assignments due. Goodluck
I just finished my final and I encourage you to take this class. The quizzes and final are easy and the exams are short answer but not bad. She explains what is expected. You just have to do a project and turn it in. She even let some people in the class turn the project in late. I think that was too lenient since I got mine in on time.
Heidi is a cool ole gal. Field trips were fun and interesting. LOVED Seahorse Key. You don't want to miss the field trips! At the end of the semester, I had learned a lot. Turned out to be an interesting and FUN class. If you want a layed back course, this is it!
very, very chill. Brought brownies on the last day of class, just turn everything in
Heidi is so much fun! She's hilarious and very chill but passionate about geography. She lectured to us about geothermal activity in a hot spring in the Andes on a study abroad trip to Ecuador. Best lesson ever! Take her!
I love Heidi! This course, Cultural Geography, is online and is so much fun. I learned so much and found Heidi to be extremely helpful. The exams might seem hard if you haven't done the assigned reading and powerpoints, but they are not if you've done the work. Don't take this online class if you're looking to slack.
I took Heidi in the Spring. I took her online in the summer after that. She is a nice lady. She helped me a lot. Her class is fun. I will take another class is she teaches one
I think this is dumb but I know we all use it. I feel like if that you have a good professor you should say so too. Love this teacher, say no more
Teacher was horrible I will never take her ever again be warned she doesnt explain well and will not help at all
She's not only a good person but a good teacher. I think what trips students up is that her class is a hybrid class. She's really understanding, interesting, and engaging.
Extremely tough class. Do not take this class unless you intend to devote 2 or 3 hours per day memorizing maps, charts, and definitions. I maintain a 4.0 GPA and had to take a W. Nice lady but she doesn't realize her class is a required Gen Ed class and takes it WAY to seriously. Harder than my Calculus classes. Choose another humanities class!!!!
The quizzes and test are nearly impossible. Unless you are going to be a Geography major, save your grade and choose a different teacher.
The class may be an easy A but it is also easy to get below a B if you don't participate. She's very helpful and willing to help with a problem you might be having, as long it's not just whining about a grade. She's also funny and very intelligent. I would take another course by her. Tests aren't too tough and there aren't too many assignments.
First, I'm not a slacker. I have a 4.0 so when I tell you she's a terrible professor, it isn't because I'm bitter about a bad grade. There's no guidance, instructions are unclear, and she mocks students that ask questions. The book is almost useless, half of her material is from online making it an easy B, but it's more stress than it's worth.
Her Exams are ridiculous! Essays, short answer, fill in the blank, only a few multiple choice... (class MEAN 1: 54.4% 2: 64.7, haven't taken final yet). No, it's not easy "what's the capital of..". I would suggest a different teacher. She's hard and wants you to live and breath Geography!
Loved this teacher. Best class I have taken at Santa Fe
Easiest class I have taken online. Not many assignments. Helpful with qeustiosn. Quick to respond. Good online class for busy people
Great class and easy. Highly recommend this
Had a really good experience. The class was a chill group and so was the teacher. She let us work together. Quizzes and final are Open Book
Fun activities outside the class. Learn computerized mapping. Def take her
This is an easy and fun teacher. The class is better than I expected and easy.
Only good professor this semester. SHe is very helpful and easy to talk to.
I had some family issues and she was so great. Going to take Ms Lannon for another class.
I took the class this fall and it was good. I don't have my final grade yet but I should have an A. The final is open Book. You have to make a presentation and do a short paper and thats all. She tells you what is on the exams and then she lets the class decide if question were not fair and takes them off. Also brought cup cakes :0 Yum
Good online class. Don't have to get too involved to get an A. Was pretty interesting
Would recommend you take Mrs. Lannon. Such a smart person and so understanding. Really likes interaction in class and seems to even like students too. Relaxed class and attendance is not mandatory
I loved this class. The lectures are interesting but you can skip class. She posts them on line. She does have questions from other students on the tests so it is good to be in class
Good online teacher. Super organized. Have taken her twice. Quizzes every other week. I exam, 1 project. Quizzes are timed but no need to be on campus to take any exams. Highly recommend this teacher
Heidi is one of the best professors at Santa Fe. She loves Geography and her students. She has such fun classes everyone attends, which you should if you want to get good grades on the exams. I found the class easy and the exam questions come from the review, so look at it. Make sure you write a title on the exam, I missed this twice but she wa
This teacher gives lots of ways to do well. She lets you choose your best assignments and there lots of choices to pick from to do well in this class. I really liked her as a person and a teacher as she is so flexible and works with you so that you can do better.
Heidi is great and she has personal experience with a lot of places which makes it easier to learn about them. She is a real geographer and can explain to you in really relevant ways why you should know about geography. She used things that are going on in the world and I could see how this could help anyone be more knowledgeable.
I wish I would have checked Ratemyprofessors prior to signing up for this class. Horribly designed curriculum. I have never taken a class that I spent so much time studying for quizzes and done so poorly. Test is impossible in the short time frame that is given to take it. I have learned my lesson, check Ratemyprofessor first!
I came on this site to endorse what a nice teacher Mrs Lannon is. She is really enthusiastic and always upbeat every class. She gives lots of chances to do well even to the annoying people that only come for tests. I LOVED this class . I have no idea who those other students are talking about.
This lady was my favorite teacher this semester. Our class all just really had a great experience. She helped us study, gave us hints and is really a nice, friendly person. The class was pretty easy really and there is no reading. I would take this professor, she is cool
Most online class you basically teach yourself, this one is no different. Professor is nice but the quizzes and tests are difficult even if you watch the powerpoints and read the chapters thoroughly. I would recommend taking this on campus or choosing another class.
I took this teacher for 2 classes. World is very easy and in intro class. You start off with an A and can only blow it from there. Then I took physical geogrpahy. It was fun and if I had tried a bit harder i would have aced it. too We got to do neat things and i would recommend her and both classes
What a waste of 15 weeks. This teacher should not teach online.
Great teacher. So is fun and interesting. I would recommend
GOOD professor. You should take her
This professor is cool. She messed up my grade and when I asked her she changed it and apologized. The fact I could ask her should tell you everything. She is very approachable and will help you whenever she can. She is always in her office too which is more than I can say for others
This teacher was always responsive online. It was the easiest online class EVER and a nice teacher too. You should do the extra credit and discussions
Great professor, great class. There are some slackers who are probably annoyed with her because you have so much choice and they did not do anything until the last minute. Its not like its a hard class and she pretty much makes you get an A
Ms Lannon was a good teacher and an interesting person. She made the semester and long lectures pass quickly. The quizzes are open book so easy. The exams are OK when you get used to them. Just don't leave anything blank. As long as you try she will work with your.
I would take this teacher for Gen Ed classes. She is a nice person and teacher. She is so smart. You will see things differently after taking geography. I had not take it since middle school and it is actually real fun and useful
I got a better grade than I thought I would or probably deserved so I felt like that I should give this teacher credit. She did work with me and it wasn't a bad class
BEST prof at Santa Fe. I just love this teacher. She is awesome. Ignore the haters who could no hack online class
Very difficult so I would not recommend prof. Lannon to anyone.
Heidi is a lively lady who runs a lively class. I am going to take her other class now too. she is the bomb.
Do not take this professor! Incredibly hard tests and quizzes. I studied extremely hard for them and even with a book in front of me I was failing. First class I have had to withdraw from to maintain my 4.0 GPA. Beware!!
I really liked Heidi. She lets you drop questions from the exams and quizzes are open book . There is one big assignment that is easy. Good class
Mrs Lannon knows a lot and she has been many places. She loves to share that and in an articulate way. I like that she has a view from another place because she is English and she is funny. This is a good class to take.
I am I about to start my second class with Ms Lannon although you call her Heidi. Not that anyone is looking forward to school but I know her class will be as fun as the last one, which I would recommend to anyone. It was World Geogrpahy
She reminds me of a high school teacher. She's really nice and easy to talk to. Towards the end of the semester no one started coming to her class and I felt bad because she's so nice. She brought brownies in for us. And her exams are so easy, you take them in a computer lab. just make sure you speak up and talk during discussion
Horrible professor. Take a different class for your cultural humanities credit.
She is horrible at answering any questions you have and her exams are super long and elaborate, never have enough time to finish. She also does not give a clear study guide for those. And the instructions for the 1 assignment are not very clear (although she grades that easily). There's not a lot of grades, and her notes make no sense.
I would highly recommend geography, it is a fun class and easy
this is a good class and I would take her again if I was still going to be here
EASY online class. You can look up everything. be careful of time on exams, but super easy. Keep up with the work and you will get an A
An amazing teacher, has very detailed slides that help a lot with quizzes and tests.
I honestly did not like this class. I found most of it boring but I needed it for a humanities. Heidi knows how stuff, but she has an accent so sometimes it is hard to understand her lectures on her PowerPoints. But if you are interested in this area of study, or just need an easy A for a humanities, I'd recommend Heidi.
I loved this lady. She is a good teacher and friendly and easy!
I am finishing up an online class with this teacher. She has been good and kept me on task. There are quizzes every 2 chapters, and exam and a research paper. You get a lot of time to do the final. It is a good online class to take.
I had forgotten that geography was so interesting and it is because of Mrs. Lannon. She is a great teacher. She is interesting and knows her stuff. You should take her for Physical Geography, you get to be outside. One final and easy experiments to do. You get to learn GIS which I think is a cool thing and could be good on my resume
This teacher has a good online class to take for Humanities. I would recommend her and the class to anyone. She has everything well laid out and organized. It is pretty easy to get through it if your follow the steps
Very nice, tells a lot of stories about her life that are actually interesting. The class is laid back and you can say what you think and want to know and it's like a discussion. You can listen or participate but you learn a lot about the world.
hedi is awesome. if she is still going to ghana go to ghana with her
Heidi is such a lovely person! She's from England and she's super cool, funny and insightful. This is an insanely easy class and I enjoyed my time with her. I would have loved to go on one of her study abroad trips but I ended up not going. Some of the assignments are long winded and annoying, but still simple and easy. Take this class!
Very funny professor with great lectures. The tests are not easy, she does prepare you for them pretty well, however. Be prepared for her sense of humor, some students did not catch on. Great overall professor and prepares you very well for everything.
I am finishing her GEO2420 Summer A class, and it has been a great class. You have a 10 question quiz&a discussion every week as well as 1 paper which is a review of 3 Scholarly Journals(a bit hard). If you need to knock out an elective take this and I recommend online.
Lectures in class were all on Canvas. She is really nice and didn't assign a lot of work. Tests were hard but the quizzes were not. Overall not a bad choice
Okay I love this woman, she is so funny and cool. The class would be super easy if the quiz questions weren't literally pulled out of thin air. She says that one of the 3 top most spoken languages in the world is Pakastani.. I still have yet to find one source that says that. but besides that her class is easy
heidi is an awesome professor and is very knowledgeable. She gives awesome lectures but her exams don't always include that info. The exams are still easy because they are short answer question and you can basically get all points if you say something. there is 1 presentation & 1 3 pg paper related to the presentation. she is super funny. EASY
Heidi is an amazing professor. She is very passionate about geography and cares about her students. She is very funny and makes her lectures fun. However, her tests were hard. You need to study her online review and be able to interpret the maps. This is not a basic geography class where you just memorize information.
Mrs Lennon is a good teacher to take but its not an easy A class more like if you study a lot maybe a B class. She is hilarious with lots of fun stories to tell. You have to come to class in order to pass the test because the test are based on student presentations done in class. Overall okay class would take again but study more.
She is British, and travels a lot. She is very knowledgeable about her topic. Very easy to listen to.
Great professor, great personality, always happy to help
Exams are essay questions. This seems more like a economics class than geography. I don't know the globe any better than before the class. You have to read the book! Lectures are Powerpoints that don't give you any good info needed for the quizzes. All assignments due Friday at 5pm?! Not good if you take online for busy life. I would not recommend.
I had Heidi for two classes. She was fantastic in my study abroad class and the class prior to this was great as well. You will be expected to give a presentation in her classes so don't be audience shy. She is straight forward with her grading and gets grades back to you quickly. By far one of my favorites at Santa Fe College.
I have taken several classes by Heidi and she is very nice and friendly. Her classes are very easy and straight forward, but I would get frustrated sometimes because I feel she does not really teach the material in a way that prepares you for the exam. However, it is definitely manageable and I got A's in both the classes I have taken with her.
LOVED HEIDI!!! Would love to take again if I need/ get too. She is funny, laid back and caring. Wants students to do well and cares ALOT about everyone. Great Professor!!
Loved the class! She is very funny and caring! There was this powerpoint that everyone has to do but it wasn't too bad. It's a geography so prepare to study and prepare for all the wonderful knowledge of traveling to these places. I thought the lectures were very interesting and I have a wonderful time with her! Most likely will take her again!
Heidi is a great professor, everything in this class is pretty easy if you do the work and you still learn a lot from it. Not much to complain about, she knows what she's doing and she's very helpful. The field trips are also really fun! If I had to be picky I would say her chill vibe made it seem like an easy class but It does require a bit of work
I really liked this teacher. SHe knows her stuff. The class is interesting and fun. I would recommend her
This class is super fun. We got to go in the field and it was an awesome way to get to know other students. Take Heidi
I would take this professor again. She is easy to talk to and helps you out. Some people skipped a bunch of classes and she did call them out
Heidis class is one of the few Ive had that I actually enjoy attending. Shes hilarious and just an overall great professor. The only bad side about the class are the online quizzes and the final exam. Both are open book and you do them at home, but the questions arent discussed in class.
Majority of your grade comes from the exams and tests. You must read the textbook and comprehend every picture and graph. There are powerpoint presentations you must watch BUT they contain NO audio. I am sure in class she discussed many answers to test ?'s but online there is no help. Extra credit offered can at most raise your grade 0.75 points.
Professor Heidi knows her stuff on literally every aspect of every region of the world. She's traveled a lot & experienced much more. She's an easy grader. The exams are the trickiest things. Attend class she provides exam questions with answers. Although it was a bit fast, her hybrid class wasn't bad. I would take her again!
I took this class hybrid (part in class, part online) and it was tedious at first. Her online quizzes seem sometimes impossible, but her exams are fair game and she doesn't grade harshly on the written portion. There is usually a discussion post and quiz every other week. Majority of class is taught by other students class presentations. Shes ok...
Heidi certainly seems like she knows her stuff, but I would NOT reccomend taking an online course! There is no audio on the PowerPoints and no recorded lectures, just a LOT of reading. Be prepared to know very specific details to do well on quizzes! If you miss a deadline, don't expect any leeway when it comes to making up points.
This is the second class i have taken with Professor Heidi. I just wanted to let everyone know that this one is even better than the last one. Take her she is awesome
Have you heard of the professor Heidi Lannon. She has helped me understand geography and she is very kind
I do not know why she have 4 stars on here. DO not take her online class. Powerpoint presentations are around 100 pages long. She makes geography very unpleasant because of the amount of information that she covers in every powerpoint. Exams are timed and there are essay questions with 200 words minimum. Consider before taking her class
I have taken many teacher on elective courses in this case Geography. However, I never been in such a disorganized class. Quizzes are from material she does not even teach. I learnt more from Google than her. Syllabus is confusing and stressing you never know which grades matter the most. Quizzes are canvas quizzes worth 25 pecent of the grade
This teacher lets you know what you need to do, so that is fair. I liked her but should have tried more
BEST teacher at Santa Fe. I am taking her again. She has very clear instructions in Canvas and is great in the classroom.
This teacher has a great class and you get to go outside and do things not just stay in the class. She makes you talk to other people and I met my best friend in this class. She is a chill person and pretty easy grader as long as you try
I took Heidi's class as a hybrid. She's super chill and understanding but her quizzes and tests feel more like trivia than the actual content on her powerpoint slides, and it's kind of confusing and inconsistent. If you work with your classmates and review however, you should be fine.
Heidi is very nice and the class wasn't hard. One 3 pg research paper/presentation, 3 tests, a few quizes, and some discussion posts. Tests are kind of hard, there is some essay/short answer, but not too bad. Some of the questions come from classmates presentation, so if you miss class, try to get notes. Lectures are usually pretty interesting.
Professor Lannon is a great teacher. She is from England and is proud of where shes from. Every week there is either a quiz or a discussion post. There is one big assignment during the semester in the region you were chosen. I highly recommend taking her.
Pretty easy online teacher that I would take again
You should take this physcial geogrpahy class. It is awesome. You get to go outside and on a boat and do loads of fun trips. She is the best teacher at Santa Fe
This teacher is so helpful and realistic and she helped me think about the world. Heidis class has lots of ways to do well and you get to go outside and learn things about the earth. I wish she taught more classes
I've never had to sit through more lectures for an ONLINE CLASS. She decided to take it upon herself to make powerpoints that don't give you any information unless you sit there and listen to the narration.
The WORST professor at Sante Fe. Her test were SO HARD. Google didnt even help for answering some of her questions. Do not reccomend. I took it because of the good reviews on here and that was the biggest mistake. Only 3 test and they are not spread out throughly through the class. HIGHLY DONT RECCOMEND.
Only took her because of her previous good reviews. This class sucked online only 3 tests which were really hard we had not seen most of the test material before. She made assignment 2 a nightmare, by not providing clear grading criteria and having it due at different dates for everyone which was NOT SHOWN on canvas and a lot of people got D/F
I'm honestly extremely disappointed in my choice to take this professor. I thought I was making the right decision, but clearly I was wrong. I was mislead the entire semester to believe that I had an A, but when final grades came out I did not. The grading criteria was obviously not clear. She did not handle the switch to online well at all.
I previously left a review about not receiving an A when I was upset, but genuinely think that Heidi was a gem. She is super sweet and willing to help outside of class. She is worldly and really knows what she is talking about. The tests are hard, but that is to be expected bc this subject is hard. Even though I got a B instead of an A, I had fun
Dr. Lannon is a great teacher and she'll help you out if you need it. If I had pushed myself a little harder I could have gotten an A. This class is pretty dependent on attendance because you are constantly doing things in the field or learning programs like GIS. Overall, I really enjoyed it and I wish the semester hadn't finished online.
This class is a little more difficult than GEO2200C in my opinion. It's a bigger class, so there are less overall assignments. The transition to online wasn't too bad, as long as you have common sense and put in the effort you should do fine. You'll also have to do a presentation, which she'll derive questions from and put on the exams.
Bogus grading methods, especially with exams. If you do not do well on project or final, then you will fail.
She is the best teacher I have had a t Santa Fe. What a legend. She was really helpful and actually cares about you. She was willing to give us credit on the exam for a question she could see we all did badly on. What a human
Awesome class!
Best. Prof. Ever. TAKE HER
I thought about this class and have no regrets cos this lady was so helpful and flexible
You should take this teacher. She is awesome. She helped me so much and I am so glad I took her. She is the best person at Santa Fe if you need support even out of class
This is a great class! Definitely glad I took it, and I would highly suggest it to anyone wanting to learn about all about Geo. She is so passionate about geo, & it's definitely more than states and capitals. On exams and quizzes, she doesn't grade with many points, so it is important to score high and you must study. Not a difficult class overall.
I took her in Spring 2021. She is probably the sweetest professor on campus and one of the easiest classes. You can tell that she absolutely loves what she is doing and cares so much about everyone in the class. She is super flexible too if you are having problems with anything. Her assignments are very easy, just make sure you do them on time.
I can't wait for her to get back so I can take her other class. I loved her last year. She is so interesting
THIS TEACHER WAS AWESOME AND THE CLASS WAS EASY, AND INTERESTING. TAKE HER
Her classes were very enjoyable because she had personal experience of the places, she taught so it wasn't just boring powerpoints. There were quizes every other week that were easy that was about what you learned during the week. She was so good that im taking her other geography class.
I do not recommend taking this class online. The lectures are outdated and missing audio on multiple key sections. Material on exams and quizzes were not adequately covered in the PowerPoints provided. Political bias is apparent in all lectures.
Heidi is clearly passionate about what she teaches. She shares a lot of fun, personal and relevant stories. She's not just a teacher but does so much more, she's involved. Her assignments are very do-able when you GO to class. She'll help you with any questions. Heidi encourages class communication. There is a required presentation. She's great!
Amazing professor for an amazing class. Learned so much and she is clearly so passionate and knowledgeable about her field of study. She jokes about getting students to switch over to majoring in geography, and she might have gotten me... One big project at the end and a bunch of assignments you get to choose from, all interesting. Would recommend!
Professor Lannon's class was engaging and informative. The in-person lectures were excellent, and the quizzes were manageable. Unstuck AI was a lifesaver for exam prep. Overall, a great course that I'd recommend.
Good professor, manageable workload as most is done in class
She was great to talk with and supportive. Very knowledgeable and passionate. The final project was easy. But she should change the in class assignments, they were too long, and hard to get a good grade even if you knew the info, my grade was an 89 and wouldbe been higher if I got higher scores on those which makes me mad it dropped my GPA a bit.
I love her! Her lectures are great and it's clear she knows a lot about what she's talking about! She has the best stories as well. I said attendance is mandatory because questions on the test are based off student presentations and you won't have the answers without showing up to lectures. Take her for sure!
Amazing class! Had fun field trips on and off campus. Professor is very encouraging and inspirational. Because the class is pretty specific it was full of people with similar interest and we all got along well.
Great professor and awesome class. You can tell she knows her stuff and cares. No textbooks or tests, only homework's that are mainly done in class. There is one project, which isn't difficult at all (Presentation and a paper). You can even miss several classes and still get an A if you do your work. Would definitely take this course again.
Did not show up once except my presentation date, exam days, and the first day and got a 100 in this course. She puts all the notes on canvas and has only one project which is a paper and a presentation on one country is a region she gives you. Would recommend for sure, lovely lady as well.. just never went to her lectures.
Easy A, not many assignments and all the assignments are very straightforward and pretty easy. She's very charismatic and easygoing, if you're looking for an elective to give you some space for other harder classes, this is it, you have to try to get less than a B.
Very easy intro geography course, come to class if you want a good grade but the professor does not seem to care if you come to class. Professor Lannon is very fun to learn from and in class lectures are interactive and funny.
This class was easy, but make sure to listen to the recorded PowerPoint lectures. Very few assignments and quizzes every few weeks. The quiz questions can be quite vague -- all answers are directly from the lectures or reading and it's difficult to use prior knowledge. Otherwise, Dr. Lannon is good and you can tell she's passionate about geography.
