She is an AWESOME english teacher.....really easy, I hate english and I got an A on every paper....really nice lady and you learn a whole lot. I really recommend her.
Awesome professor one of the best at SAC. I learned so much. Also, had her for ENG 68 way back - Highly Reccomend
She's pretty laid back. Just write 5 essays and do a panel presentation. Not a lot of work. Take this prof.
Great teacher. I really enjoyed taking class with her.
Only 5 essays and a panel presentation... all of which she grades relatively generous. If you do the work you will pass easily with a B or higher.
Mellow teacher. Only 5 essays. Got A's so far on 4/5 essays. No pressure, she provides a great learning environment where stress is never present. In such a long time, I feel motivated to write from the heart.
She is the best!I hate english and she made it fun and i passed. Take her for english
I'm pretty sure nearly everyone did well in this class. We were graded primarily on five essays and one project so if that's not your cup of tea, you should look for a more assignment oriented course. Cannon's great! She's patient and really enjoys teaching. Very mellow but interesting class.
After reading all the comments below i did decide to take Mrs. Cannon's class. However while in this class i discovered her reading topics and assignments to be very confusing to me. This class has caused me to have very low esteem in my writing, and i regreat taking this class.
Got an A in her class but it was a lot of work. She's pretty straight forward, and grades very lenient. I took her after reading the comments here, and I can't say I regret it, but the readings were VERY confusing and hard to write about. A miracle happened when I got the A.
She is good, i mean she explains so much about her class that if you don't pass it then you are the stupid, she likes to read a lot but that gives you a lot of opportunities to get more ideas for your essay. I will get her again for my english class.
the most thought-provoking course i have ever taken yet, critical thinking nearly drove me nuts! no, seriously.. <_< anyways, il give her a 1,000 out of 10 in her mastery of material.. she grades really well, and discusses the topic thoroughly. lectures get boring sumtimes, but the best part is writing ur essay (4-5 minimum pages).
she is really easy and explains everything. If you need help she will meet with you anytime. She is the nicest person ever.
she is an easy going teacher. Most of the assingments are very interesting that will make your writing easier. I think she can also be very clear when explaining and helpfull when you dont understand it. She also gives you the opportunity to turn in one of the assingments one week late(not marking it late).
Cannon is an excellent English Teacher. She is passionate about her teaching! She is very professional, kind, caring, passionate, and involved with her students. Essays are very intereesting and bring discussion to the class. Highly reccomended!! She incoporates 5 Essays, a Final, and a presentation that will expand your analytical skills. :)
Great Teacher!!!! top 3 I've had at Mt. Sac. You do nothin but 5 or 6 the whole semester. She is very understanding and really goes out of her way to help students and understands what students have to go through. I recommend her to anyone lookin to take an English 1A class
she is a nice person and she will always help you. take her you will be happy in that class. if you have problems with english take her, she will help you
very nice teacher! she was very helpful and understanding. sometimes her lectures were boring, but she meant well.
No Comments
English was never my subject, but she put everthing in perspective clearly. I enjoyed her class.
She is a great teacher. I enjoy her class. If u can take her take her.
I think she makes the class interesting, but her essay concepts are hard to grasp, and I took advanced English Courses. She is very helpful though.
great teacher
Very easy and is not strict on due dates on essays she says she is but not, a little boring but she is an easy grader especailly at the beginging
she's a highly intelligent professor who assigns thought provoking prompts, leads stimulating in-class discussions and gives students plenty of time to develop their papers both in class and makes herself available outside of class. i'd recommend her to anyone who wants more out of their english classes.
she is good listenre and likes to help you out.
Mrs. Cannon is an xcellent professor. I highly recommend her. She is very patient with her students and I learned so much in her class.
Great Teacher!!! just took her for 1A, and am about to taker her for 1C.
Critical thinking. 6 essays. The essays are quite obnoxious and rather difficult. She allows students to slack off some.
I've learned a lot from her! She is a very intelligent person. She talks about critical thinking and it really opens my mind up. It's the most interesting class I have ever taken in sac. 6 essays, group assessments which are very easy, presentation (does not require outline). She does allow people to slack off! Great teacher! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
great teacher...easy class had lots of fun...cool movies...learned alot
EASY. Grades easily too! She is willing to help you with essays thru email. Really nice, forgiving, and understanding. Interesting discussions! THE BEST ENGLISH PROF!
she was not helpful to me.
Cannon definitely has VERY thought provoking and challenging prompts...but she is VERY helpful and gives you useful feedback. I felt like I was in a moral ethics class. But that's what i expected from an English 1c class. But yeah, her prompts are definitely not easy.
Top-notch professor. She opens her students up a to a new world of ideas and uses storytelling to relate. You can learn a lot. Cannon is helpful and easy to access during office hours & through email. Prompt & thorough grader. I feel lucky to have made it onto the roster for her class. Remember, this is an honors class so open your mind. Neat lady.
Professor Cannon is one of the most insightful, enlightened and intellectual beings I have ever encountered. I am blessed to have been able to take one of her classes. Work ahead on your essays -- DON'T PROCRASTINATE. She gives a lot of leeway. It's impossible not to get an A. She's too nice.
Prof Cannon has a comprehensive knowledge about anything English-related. She makes her class simple by offering more help than you can keep up with, and she only assigns 6 essays throughout the course. Quite the easy A. Other than that, her lectures are typically slow, boring, and moreover redundant. She takes her time for the Mt. Sac "kiddies."
Professor Cannon is one of the best teachers at Mt. Sac. Take her, you wont regret it. She's very lenient on deadlines and is crystal clear on her explanations. She is extremely intelligent in her field and definitely knows her stuff. Just attend class, do the assessments, ask questions for clarity, and do your best on her essays - you'll get an A!
Wonderful and brilliant professor. She's extremely fair and her method of teaching is concise and impacting. If you have a question, she'll be more than happy to help. I definitely recommend her.
She is really nice! She wants to make sure you understand the material. The course is easy because you will pass as long as you do the work, so you focus more on your learning than the grade. I recommend you take all and every ENG 64/65/66 before you jump to 67 or 68. I guarantee you won't struggle as much as long as you are willing to learn.
Her essay deadlines are very flexible, and she cuts you a lot of break when you turn them in late. Also, she tells you what she expects to see on the assignments, so it is not difficult to get a good grade in her class. Highly recommended!
a very caring teacher and easy to approach. listen to her lectures and ask her to look at your papers as many times as you want, then you can correct your mistakes and it'll be easier to get a good grade.
She is a really nice teacher, and very easy to approach. She makes the class as easy as she can, if you go to her office hours with a draft of your essay she tells you exactly what you need to change. She is a very easy grader you just have to take the time out to go to her office hours.
Professor Cannon is a great teacher and this class was fairly easy. If you pay attention during the lectures, you're guaranteed at the very least a B. She's also available almost everyday if you need a paper revised and she gives extensions out like they're nothing. Great class.
Professor Cannon is seriously into growing her students & maximizing their academic capacity. She is NOT easy and challenges you to analyze your life perspectives before sitting down at the keyboard. She reads every paper your turn in diligently and provides valuable (honest) feedback to make you a better writer. The hardest working prof at MtSac.
Here's the deal with Cannon: She has high expectations and you need to show up on time every day. Once you are there, class will fly by because she tells the greatest stories and relates to the class with ease. Ask questions. She likes everyone to be engaged in class discussions & welcomes a good debate if you can back it up. Try to get added.
She is wonderful. She was extremely helpful. She is always willing to listen and encourages class discussions. There are plenty of essays, but she does plenty of discussion and preparation for them. I highly recommend her.
She is arguably one of the best professors I ever had. I always looked forward to attending her class. The discussion topics were always so interesting, and she always had a way to make the material relevant to life. She's a fairly easy grader, considering I received one of the highest grades in the class. She's also very kind. Highly recommended!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. I took her my first semester at Mt Sac, and she is still the top professor I've ever had. I can truly say she's one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. I loved her class, she was extremely helpful, sweet, and nice. Very flexible with deadlines. TAKE HER! You will definitely not regret it.
I love her. She conducts class lectures very well and she gets your mind thinking abuot what to write. You can always go in at office hours and she'll help correct your paper before the due date. Highly recommended.
AMAZING Professor. She is very helpful and sweet. Pay attention when she is talking it will definitely help you understand the readings. Her essay topics are not restrictive at all. highly recommended
She chooses interesting readings, she encourages and leads great discussions, she's a fair grader, but at the same time, she has high expectations for her students. This woman is amazing and completely inspired. If you get the chance to take any class with her, do it; she will prepare you.
Professor Cannon is an excellent of a person who actually cares about her students. She makes the class very easy to participate in and her essays are not difficult at all. Also, she allows visits during office hours, and during class, to seek help on current topics. There a total of six essays and a final. Take care if you enjoy writing!
Best Professor Ever!!! She is helpful, sweet, and inspiring. She likes to help her students and goes out of her way to make sure her students succeed in her class, but also in life. Highly recommend
She is an amazing teacher, lenient on due dates & gives extra time. I got an A
Professor Cannon is a really sweet person! the assignments are easy and she grades pretty easily too. I don't specifically like literature, but she still makes the readings interesting. Take her class!
I absolutely enjoyed attending every class meeting. She is helpful and makes class discussion interesting. Don't be afraid to speak up about your ideas and observations. Definitely a must-have professor for all English majors.
I've had Professor Cannon twice now and have to say it is a delight to take her class. She allows a degree of flexibility in writing assignments that has made me truly love and appreciate English. The class discussions are engaging and Professor Cannon is always extremely energetic. Highly Recommended!!! +++
I really liked the class discussion I had in her class. It really makes you think about the issues. Prof. Cannon is really nice and she's always open for you to send her drafts. Plus, she's very lenient on due dates.
very easy class, and very helpful teacher. She lets you turn in one essay late during the semester if you have any conflicts. Class can get boring sometimes, but essays are generally very easy!
She said my essays were good and gave me B's.. wthell? Seriously. I would've liked her to tell me what was wrong with my essay instead of telling me my essays were good. Doesn't she know A is good and not a B?!?! Anyways I ended up with an A in her class. BARELY.Therefore, this class is considered HARD to me. Since I had to work my butt off for it
Professor Cannon is an AWESOME Teacher!!!
This class was appropriately challenging. She challenges the class in a good way. I really enjoyed her class. She is a wonderful professor. I loved how open she was with discussions, and participation. She is very sweet too! Miss Cannon is the best!
Highly recommended! Probably the easiest class if you write well. If you don't she's very helpful and open about suggestions with writing. If you're very ctive and don't procrastinate, have her see your papers before the due date. Very flexible and understanding with dates as well. Good luck!
She is such a sweet and beautiful person! Very understanding, and provides meaningful comments about essays (those comments really do help to improve too.) Her classes made me fall in love with writing again. Don't let the early schedules scare you off. Our classes started at 7 am, but they were so totally worth the early wake-up calls :-).
Very good and helpful professor who is willing to help you and understand what you are reading to write a good paper
Amazing professor. Professor Cannon is honestly one of the most knowledgeable professors I've encountered. Her class is also very laid back and she creates a really friendly environment open for discussions and her course work is not difficult at all- just as long as you stay up to date with the readings which I admit is kind of a load.
Mrs. Cannon is a excellent professor. It sounds cliche about all these comments, but it is true--she is pretty awesome. She takes into consideration the time for questions, concerns, or faults that we make in class. I would take this class even if it was at 730am, which is was. Take her class, you will learn a lot!
She was a great teacher! Her essays were all interesting to write about. She answers emails almost immediately and cares about her students' success as long as they, too, care for it. Very helpful and I learned a lot from her. She offers a late essay paper in case you need to turn in one late. Use it wisely!
I have had the honor of taking Professor Cannon for both ENGL 1A Honors and ENGL 1C Honors. She's an extraordinary professor, one who wants her students to excel in life and one whose lectures just ooze with knowledge. Because of her, I plan on majoring in English. She's not an easy A, so be prepared to show up with your "try-hard-pants" on.
Great professor, she gives very good constructive criticism and feedback. I'm kinda bummed that I didn't get to soak up more of her knowledge on account of being sickhalf asleep so often this semester.
great teaching technique
I absolutely LOVE Professor Cannon. She is the most inspirational english teacher who is always there for you. After taking her 1AH class, I really feel like my writing has immensely improved. You do have to work a bit hard to get the A, but she always gives clear feedback on your essays.
Due to the nature of an English course, there are a lot of essays. Professor Cannon makes these papers count by evolving them from essential teachings to philosophical perspectives. She is very intelligent which leads to amazing lectures but causes her, at times, to appear condescending. Keep up attendance; there are several in-class assignments.
Very easy professor, but because she isn't a tough grader it'll make you procrastinate even more on the essays. The toughest essay you'll write is on Omelas, the other 5 essays are pretty easy as long as you write them on stuff that you're interested in. She's an older lady but very nice and has some jokes. Just don't procrastinate!!!
Amazing professor. I wouldn't attend class almost every other week when I gave up on parking but I managed to get an A. At times she's intimidating but she is for a reason. Her grading scale is very clear-cut and her feedback really helped me improve my writing. She's very funny and her prompts really make you think about life in a good way.
Professor Cannon's class was really boring, but her essays were interesting and reflective. I have known more about myself after this class! She is funny and sassy at times. A very wise and helpful professor overall.
This class was very fun, would take again. Prof Cannon is so sweet and funny! There was an essay due every two weeks but don't worry, they are easy to get A's on. Attendance isn't necessary but go to understand how to do the next essay and also to do in-class assignments. You can ask her to review your essays to make sure you receive an A on it!
Professor Cannon is an unforgettable professor. She is passionate about ENG/LIT and does a great job in immersing that dedication into her lectures. She truly cares for her students and always gives feedback on how you can improve your writing. Definitely attend her lectures (they're inspirational) and work hard at your essays! You will do well!
Professor Cannon taught me how to write good essays. She checks your rough drafts and makes helpful comments on how to improve it before you turn it in. She may push the due date back if she feels students don't understand the material. Really helpful teacher.
She is such an understanding professor! Honestly I recommend her to everyone!
Good professor. She discusses the readings in depth. 5 essays overall (done at home) & 1 essay final (in-class). For the first 4 essays, she gives you the option to use 1 late pass. Gives decent feedback. There was some hw- usually 1 assignment per week. Basically: Read thoroughly, listen to discussions, do the hw & turn in the essays.
Professor Cannon is more philosophical than I'd expected, but class discussions are super interesting. They'd be even more interesting if other students participated. Even when people don't feel like participating very much, Professor Cannon prevents the heavy awkward silence by turning the discussion into a lecture. She gives great feedback.
Easily the best English prof at Mt Sac. She starts by seeking student agreement on grading criteria (but does not dumb it down); there are interesting discussions and she sets interesting essays. Work is given back promptly and graded fairly with clear feedback. I had an emergency at the end of the semester and she worked with me, highly recommend.
She was an insightful teacher but did not require much. I personally enjoyed engaging in thought provoking discussions with her and got a lot out of the class. She always pushed me to do better and paid little to no attention on the small things. Most will get an A but she focuses on being a critical thinker over the traditional format of school.
Professor Canon was not necessarily my favorite but I did well in her class. There were about 5 essays and each were pretty straightforward. She gives you feedback if you need it. As long as you do what you need to do you can pass.
A very enlightening and kind individual. I like how she tries to bring about the real "critical thinking" in the classroom. Really pushes students to look outside of the box. Her lectures were insightful, with some fun jokes in the middle as well. Generous grader, but don't get too comfortable either! Overall a wise woman. Would highly recommend!
Best teacher at Mt. Sac! She checks and gives feedback on your rough drafts several times before turning in a paper. 5 papers (take-home) and 1 final paper (in-class). Very understanding! One of the fairest teachers I've ever had. She makes you interested in the learning. Take her class!
Spring 2018 will be her last semi, so take her if you can. Nice teacher and interesting class. Easy A if your ideas are clear and cover the rubric. Grammar is not super important. In class essay final is also pretty easy. Good luck!
Spring 2018 will be her last semester here, but if you're able, take her class! Out of all the English teachers I've encountered in life, she's a shining gem! She makes herself available to help students with the writing and editing process. Her assignments are also open-ended so her class gives the chance to flex those writing and thinking skills!
Cannon is a ray of sunshine. I will miss her dearly. Her class was my favorite to attend and she definitely is understanding about things when life happens. Shes such a sweetheart and I will miss seeing her on campus.
