Mr. Gannon makes an otherwise boring class fun. He tells you EXACTLY what is going to be covered on exams, so if you fail, it's your fault! Attendence is required.
Makes a requirement fun and fascinating. Multiple choice tests(for you lazy kids) and it's all about repition(i.e. cue cards).Covers the history sociology with its past scholars and merges it with the ongoing study of society today. Great facts and interesting statistics. And make sure to ask him to play the guitar in class! Gannon rocks!
HE EXPECTS YOU TO READ THE CHAPTERS, AND SOME STUFF ON THE TEST THAT WAS NOT IN HIS LECTURES. VERY COOL GUY AND MADE THIS COURSE VERY FUN. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THANK PROF. GANNONS CLASS.
Great class, great professor. The only class I've taken so far that I actually enjoyed going to.
No Comments
very very good teacher, very involved in the process, taking soc 101 from him was more entertaining than any other class i've had at CCSN..
just like what everyone else said, he makes a boring class fun.
I loved this class! His unique way of teaching kept me interested all semester. He said at the beginning that we needed to read the book, and those of us that actually did, got good scores.
Excellent instructor. You can' fall asleep in his class. He is a caring person.
Mr. Gannon makes this class really interesting. Highly recommend! If you do the work you'll do well.
ud have to be a bit of a 'tard not to get at least a B in it. and if u study (otherwise known as cramming 2 hrs before class) for his exams, which are all MC, you'll get an A easily. 5 exams, no homework, no essays. must show up to class cos lots of groupwork and exams based on lectures. its one of the easiest A's. a funny guy too.
I took his online class. Class is easy if you read the book and his study guides. It is important to participate in the online discussions -do well and he gives extra points. There are 4 tests + the final- you drop the lowest score and can take each test 2 times (don't have the same questions). Just read a chapter a week.
Took online. Pathetic, this guy is so insecure he spent the semester trying to show us he is "cool" instead of teaching. Never once joined in on discussions or contributed. Easy class but you won't learn anything outside the book. With the right instructor this class could be fascinating.
The online class is great...it is not overwhelming at all. As long as you participate in the discussion questions and study the guides, you will at least get a B. Very good class. Would recommend it!
I took online class. class was a little difficult to understand, but he DID NOT HELP AT ALL. i would email him questions never got replies ended up doing bad in the class. so i differently recommend not taking him at all. So that is my answer to rating this professor...
I took his live class and it was great! He makes the lectures fun, does interesting in class activities, and really makes a person love sociology. If you show up and take the notes, and study before the test you will get an A. He really wants his students to succeed.
AWESOME teacher! He keeps his class interesting and really fun. No homework. Show up to class to get group activity points. He tells you pretty much everything you need to know for each test. If you take notes and READ the book, you'll pass his class easily. There's 4 tests + a final and he'll drop the lowest grade. I highly recommended!
I love professor Gannon because he tries to involve everyone. No one gets left out, and he tries relating at all levels, this class was pretty easy but interesting
i loved this teacher and if he teaches anything else Im going to take it. he is awesome and really made everyone want to come to class. i highly recommend him.
Great online class. The discussions were interesting.
MAN !! HES AWESOME. TO BE HONEST, I DIDNT KNOW A THING ABOUT SOCIOLOGY WHEN I BEGAN THE COURSE, BUT AFTERWARDS, I HAD A NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE. HIS IN-CLASS LECTURES & GROUP ASSIGNMENT WERE GREAT. SOME OF THE CLASS EVEN GOT INTO STUDY GROUPS & THAT MADE IT EASIER! JUST PAY ATTENTION AND TRY YOUR BEST! HE REALLY WANTS HIS STUDENTS TO DO WELL.
He's great! Took his online class. There are 9 discussion posts, no major assignments and he provides notes to download for his exams. 4 exams - all can be taken twice and he drops the lowest score. The final can be taken twice as well. He even posts pics of himself so you have an idea of who he is.
Great Prof!!!! Go to class everyday and you will get an A. Looks like the herion dealer from pulp fiction. Good musician also.
Took an accelerated 3-week class during the summer. Heavy on the reading but do-able. Don't be intimidated. You *can* do it. But definitely print out the online notes, read your chapters and make your own notes as well. I got an 'A', which means you can too.
This class can be easy, but YOU HAVE TO READ the BOOK! If you don't read you will struggle on the exams. Good luck! <3
READ READ READ!
Take any class that John teaches, he is the best!!!Excellent online teacher. Goals are clear, but if you have a question he will answer you immediately. Tests are somewhat hard, but you have 2 chances, and he will drop the lowest score. Weekly postings, which is expected for an online class. I would highly recommend him!!!!
This class is easy just as long as you keep up with the discussions and readings. I'll recommend him to anyone.
Prof. Gannon really wants you to learn sociology. You have to read each chapter of the book in order to pass his tests. I took him online, you do get 2 chances on each test, but his tests are not easy . A lot of the questions are application based. You really have to understand the different schools of thought etc.EASY ENOUGH,just time consuming.
He was SUPER organized and very explanatory in his expectations. To the point and honest.
I took the 4 week online class. Mr. Gannon is a great online professor! I wish I could have taken his class in person. The class requires quite a bit of reading and is very time consuming when shortened to 4 weeks. You must understand the material for the tests as opposed to memorizing information. I did all the reading so was a fairly easy A.
Took the online class spring 09.I think he has good intentions but he is a read the book take the test kind of instructor. There is no reviewing the test so you don't know what you are properly understanding or not. He gives 1 discussion quest. per week, read 3 chapters take a test.takes a long time for him to follow through w/ help. BAD CLASS!
If you want to pass you need the book. No doubt about that hes all about the book. Discussions are easy but the test format isn't the best. You never get to see what you got wrong.
Took the short 4 week summer course. There are 9 easy discussion assignments and 5 exams (4 + final) with lowest score of those 5 being dropped. The exams can be daunting but if you read the full chapters for each exam and do an outline of all the key words and subjects, you will do well. Interesting subject!
RUN~Please run for your life. I have heard of a great female sociology professor-this man is far from a great professor. He sucks the life out of a course about life, his teaching style is that of an **** and he is usless at responding. PLease take my advice and keep searching for he is a waist of time and money. :(
this guy was terrible. nvm replied to most of my emails, the only ones he did were smart comments. terrible and obsessed with himself. DO NIT RECOMMEND HIM
The work is simple as long as you do not procrastinate and read the book. The teacher does not seem very quick to help when students have problems, but states his rules clearly in the syllabus and it seemed like the only students with problems were the one who waited until the last day to take the test then Angel would fail and then he couldnt help
I enjoyed John Gannon's presentation of sociology 101, the syllabus and expectations are very clear, his email helps are promt and insightful as were class contributions. Recommend his class if you are an on-line learner! I should have outlined the chapters on my own. I would have done better on the tests.

Took his full semester online class. 5 exams including the final, and 4 discussion that's it. The good thing is you get to drop your lowest of the 5 exams(including the final). It wasn't an easy class, but if you read the book you should get an A. I never read the book, and got a B.
I highly recommend Prof. Gannon. His class was fascinating to say the least. The material in the textbooks were easy to follow and the tests/assignments cover many sections in the book as well as the notes he provides. Application questions are used heavily so make sure to understand the concepts. In a nutshell, he's awesome!
I took this class online this past summer. Gannon was organized, his expectations were clear and the work was not too hard. There was a lot of reading involved, but the tests were on the material covered so no surprises. I would definitely recommend this teacher.
I'd definitely recommend this teacher! I am currently taking his online class and the work load is not that bad. He only requires 3 discussion posts and 4 exams and then a final. His exams are pretty difficult, but you get two tries and if you pay attention to his discussion posts and his notes, it makes the exams easier to study for. Read the book
Don't miss the opportunity to take this class! Took the class on-line and love the material and the assignments. The book is a must read to pass, but an interesting read so it's easy. Gannon is relax which makes it even more enjoyable!
I appreciated his honesty and he doesn't surprise you...he is straight forward. I received help online in a timely manner and he even called once to clarify a question I had. Do not plagiarize, and read the book....Boom! A
His online class is not good. He gives you notes that have nothing to do with the tests. He is horrible at responding to questions online. I would try and take this class in person next time.
I loved this class and this professor so much. Professor Gannon's work is tough but, he's fair and he lets you know what he expects. The reviewer below me has no clue. His tests are never "from the book", they are about making sure you understand the concepts and the application of the concepts. If you want a challenge,take the class. If not, don't
Gannon was very tough but it was a great class and the structure was great too. I highly recommend him for anyone who really wants to learn about Sociology. You have to really read and understand the material to succeed in this class.
I took Professor Gannon's class online and it was tough, but he is very helpful and really makes himself available to students via skype and other means. The class which I was not interested turned out to be very interesting and he has a very good textbook. In a world of average professors, CSN students are lucky to have him.
Gannon was a magnificent teacher. Any time i emailed him to ask a question my responses were quick and clear. he took time out to comment on every students work and it was original critique not just the same message. This online class was fabulous
I love this teacher he helped me alot this year. It was very good at responding to my emails and always had the best answers. I recommend taking his class to anyone.
Great professor, very helpful. Not the easiest but lots of chances at Extra credit. Should be able to get an A fairly easy.
Took online class. Test questions are hard but you get to take it twice and use the notes and book. READ and look over the notes and you will be fine. Plenty of chances at extra credit. Discussions are pretty easy but hes big on plagiarism with these. Use your own words and experiences. Good teacher and responds to emails promptly.
Took online class. Instructor was very helpful and responded to questions quickly. 5 tests total, lowest one is dropped; you can take each test twice. 4 "discussions" (really more like short papers to be turned it - no discussion with others). To me a mostly boring topic, but it was relatively easy to get good grades.
Gannon is a great instructer. He is tough and his expectations are high. As long as you understand the concepts you should be able to get an A. The notes he gives helps you on the exams and of course showing up for class.
Great professor!
Such a sweet and helpful teacher. Gives students all the tools they need to succeed in his class. Decently easy material just don't procrastinate... I took the online class so procrastinating was easy. I thoroughly enjoyed this class though! Highly recommended!
Took his online class, you have to do 4 writings 4 tests 1 final and he drops the lowest test score out of all of the tests you take and the adds all the points plus your writings. the tests are easy because he takes right out of the book. so read the book and you should do well on the tests
Took online Summer course. 4 discussions, 5 exams with the lowest exam score dropped, 1 extra credit assignment. Grades on a curve, gives extra points. Professor Gannon is da bomb and knows his stuff. Take him!
OMG OK SO TODAY IS MY 1ST DAY OF CLASS BUT I COULDNT WAIT TO GIVE THIS TEACHER A 5 STAR! HE IS EXTREMLEY HELPFUL, ATTENTIVE AND VERY NICE! HE RESPONDED TO EACH AND EVERY EMAIL ALL DAY AND TRUST ME, I HAD A LOT OF ISSUES. SCHOOL SENT ME WRONG BOOK AND HE MADE SURE THEY HAND DELIVERED ONE TO THE NEAREST CAMPUS, I JUST CANT BE ANY MORE THANKFUL 4 HIM!
This class is an easy "A". Four 500 word assignments, four exams and one Final. The lowest exam grade is dropped. Use the provided notes and the textbook on the exams.
Awesome professor. Very nice guy. WANTS STUDENTS TO PASS. Drops lowest test score. Summary every week but very easy. Take this class! He's great!!!
Take this class online!! There are 4 exams and 4 short 500 word essays. Two attempts at each exam. Hardly any book use other than some essays from the readings and to study from. Very easy course compared to taking it in person. He is also available on Skype for online help. I feel like he wants to see his students succeed unlike most professors.
A very knowledgable professor and overall great guy. Recommended.
This was the easiest class I have ever taken online. 4 assignments (short essays) 5 exams (lowest grade gets dropped) and you have 2 attempts at each exam. I don't have to take the final because I have an A already. Prof Gannon is quick to respond to emails and provides feedback when asked. Highly recommend this class
This is a great class with a great professor. He is very helpful and always keeps the students well informed about what is going for the week. He shows genuine concern for his students and wants all to succeed. He always responds quickly to emails and questions you may have regarding assignments. He is AWESOME!!!
Very helpful professor, really enjoyed his class. Wish he could have taught all my other classes, please don't hesitate to take his course, promise you won't regret it.
Excellent teacher with a very positive attitude. He wants every student to succeed. Great communication with his students. He gives you two weeks before every assignment/exam to prepare. The class is easy if you do the work!
Took this online but it would be a better class to take in person. He offers help if you need it but this was my first online class and not good with theories. 4 written essays, midterm exam and final. Final is on all chapters from beginning.
Took class online. Great teacher that makes himself available to you anytime. Quick to respond to questions and post grades quickly. LOVED him! Sends frequent reminders of assignments that are coming up. Super easy A but you must read the book. Highly recommend this professor. Wish they were all this wonderful!
Gannon is one of the best professors I have had. He is thorough and provides students with tools that go over and above what most professors provide. workload is pretty hefty, but as long as you pay attention to the reading assignments, and take notes, you will do well in this class. He is also very responsive to an questions or concerns.
Professor Gannon is one of the best professors I have had, ever. I took his sociology course online and have been so happy with it! He is extremely helpful and replies very fast to any e-mail that you send. He grades very fairy and truly wants his students to succeed. I would highly recommend taking his class, if you can!
He is the best. I just took my last exam and I got a B. Working full time and taking summer courses are not easy but has made it very help full. I recommend him. He is very clear with all this assignments. TAKE HIM!
Gannon really cares about your and wants you to do your best in his class. He's there via skype, email, and has office hours! His tests are easy if you study, and he gives out study guides before each test. I don't want my class to end!
He is amazing prof out there! He is very passionate and obviously loves teaching. As long as u do all ur journals and attend the class, u will do fine and get a better grade.
Read the chapters and you will do great. Don't skimp on the reading. Gives 2 chances for each test. Also drops lowest score of all tests! Great teacher and gives plenty of reminders and support. Crystal clear on what he expects. Test are on comprehension of the material so, again, I would suggest reading so you know where to look during exams.
He is extremely nice and helpful. At the end of the semester he will drop your lowest test score which is awesome! You have to read quite a bit, but it is interesting because the book he assigns is current.
Literally the easiest class you will ever take!If your taking a lot of classes take this class for a very easy A! Take his online class! all you have to do in his class is 4 short assignments, which is answering like one question based on your opinion! And you have 4 exams as well online, you can literally find all the answers on google,copy paste!
This class is an easy A if you do the work which is not much. Four 500 word assignments and five exams with the lowest score dropped. He gives you two chances at the exams and the highest score counts. This class is mostly reading with a couple of video's to watch. Professor Gannon is very quick to respond to emails!
Four exams and the lowest score dropped. He cares for his students and wants everyone to pass. If you dont do the work then you fail, if you do the work then you pass. you definately need his textbook in order to pass the class. Great Professor
The class was easy. You need to read the chapters and his notes, because sometimes quiz answers in his notes and not the book. Assignments are easy and short. He gives feed and an opportunity for extra credit.
Professor Gannon was great! He made the subject interesting and hes ready to help any one who asks. Easy class, the assignments are not difficult but, you do have to show to class because that extra credit will help if you miss any assignments.
Prof. Gannon is an amazing teacher. He's very clear on what he expects from you and he is always sending reminders when anything is due. In our class we were able to take exams twice and the best grade was held. Notes were provided, but I suggest reading the book. He responds to you promptly if you have any questions. Best online professor by far.
Always answers questions and grades assignments quickly, helpful, clear on what he expects, gives multiple chances to pass and better your grade, provides feedback, sends reminders when assignments are due. Overall glad I had him as a professor.
Definitely my favorite professor so far. Super helpful, prompt with his responses. Not only is he sincerely interested in his students' success, he is interested in feedback (extra credit option) to improve his craft That speaks volumes. Do prepare to do a lot of reading however, in order to truly grasp the subject. Tests require thinking.
Great professor. The online class was clear, concise, and relatively easy. Four tests plus one cumulative final, lowest test score dropped, and weekly 500 word essay--plus extra credit options. Professor provided notes on each chapter as well as practice quizzes and Powerpoints. Tests are difficult. Definitely have to read!
He is an awesome Prof. Responds to emails in a timely manner. Fair grader. Tests are tough and lots of reading required. Would take again. Def. recommend!
He is very chill. I asked for help, and he gave me ways to study for his exams. Drops your two lowest journals, and lowest exam. he gives out extra credit by note cards , and also work done in class. Every day is some sort of points. He is inspirational, shows you the meaning of a real teacher, and expresses himself. He'll even crack out a guitar.
This class was awesome. A bit of reading, but fairly easy. The semester is divided up into 4 modules. 4 practice quizzes in each mod (not graded) and one exam per mod which you have 2 chances to take and plenty of time. Then one paper (500 words not much) per mod. Loved this professor, made things interesting with our paper topics :)
Four modules, five exams, lowest exam score dropped. four easy assignments, 500 words each due every two weeks. He responds very quickly, explains everything, and sends out assignment reminders. As long as your read the material-easiest A option I've had available to me. I would absolutely recommend taking his class!
Everything is due twice a month, 1 exam and 1 assignment. Not much work. Do not expect to pass the tests if you do not read. The tests are 50 questions. No, the answers are not easy to find on quizlet. The assignments are easy.
Probably the easiest class out of the 50 credits I have taken so far at community college. He practically begs you to turn in your homework on time. I almost felt cheated.
RESPONDED BACK TO EMAILS SAME DAY... STUDY GUIDES.... GREAT FEEDBACK
I took this class for the credits but I got something good from taking it. The book is kind of long but you need it for the journals. John makes passing this class easy and fun. Do well on his four exams and you don't have to do the final. I truly would take another class with him because he's caring and gives good lessons.
He is a really great teacher and I feel he is truly interested in how well you do. He always sends a reply really quickly and the papers you have to write are really easy. I am considering taking another one of his classes.
I took his online SOC 101 class and wow is this easy! Very nice grader and he barely gives any homework. A very, very. very laid back class. A few tests, definitely not hard to pass. This a good class to take if you have a busy load and you need to get one of your classes done without a giant amount of work.
Super chill class just do the work. Took this class online I wish all of my classes was this lax. 4 written assignments and 4 test. Do well on the four test and skip the final.
He allowed us two chances to take each exam. Make sure to read each chapter and take notes. The notes that he provides was really helpful.
Passionate about teaching. Read book and take good notes in book. Tests were difficult because it was online. Open notes, but questions from book.
This class was one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. The great thing is that even though it was easy, I found the material to be very worthwhile and found the class to be quite enjoyable. Professor Gannon was very clear on what was needed for class, and and always responded quickly to email inquiries. I highly recommend this professor.
Professor Gannon is Great! He is clear on what is required for the class, gives good feedback, and posts reminders about deadlines. Read the book and take notes, the notes he provides are really helpful too. There are 4 written assignments and 4 exams. Definitely recommend taking his class.
First teacher i've had with a good sense of humor. If you do the work there's no reason not to pass. You'll be lucky to get him as a teacher.
I took this class online with Prof. Gannon. Although, it was online, Professor was always accessible via e-mail or by appointment. Professor Gannon was very reasonable when it came to the amount of time allowed to complete and turn in assignments and finish exams. I can tell he's laid-back but & cares that his students succeed.
For this class there is one homework assignment and one test per month. The assignments are easy but have nothing to do with the test. Your are able to take the test twice which is nice but at the end of each test the answers you have gotten wrong are not given. He responds quickly if you have questions but I would personally not take him again.
This class was fairly easy. You have to read and understand the chapters or you will not do well on his tests. The nice thing is you get multiple chances to take the exams. There are 4 exams and a final and 4 assignments. The assignments are fairly easy. Most are about your own opinion. I would take him again. I actually enjoyed this class.
The hardest class ever. The class has four exams which are very hard even though you study hard. However the teacher is very helpful and supportive and each exam has two tries which still doesn't help to do well. I spend most of my time for this class and I had a very little time left for other classes. I would not choose this professor again.
Took this class online and was perfect. Professor always reminds you about your next test or exam. And hes always giving you good feedbacks! 100% recommended
I took his online course during the summer. It consisted of 4 exams (+a final) and 4 written assignments. The written assignments were easy because it was mostly opinion based. You have to read a lot for this class. However, I would focus on the notes he provides on each chapter. They are very helpful for his exams. He is a great professor!
Professor Gannon is amazing! I took the class online. Only 4 units, one exam and one assignment for each unit. The course is kind of heavy on reading but lets be real what college class isn't. Also, he is very fair at grading and provides specific feedback for every assignment submitted. Highly recommend taking his online course!
Great person, but it was a hard class to get into because all you did was read the textbook and his notes that he makes. Those are most helpful for the test. I recommend printing them out and making notes on them. All I did was read for the whole semester it felt like.. He has cool writing assignments that are easy and he DOES read them.
I took this teacher a few semesters ago and hes actually the first teacher that truly made me feel welcomed at CSN. Hes relate-able and extremely kind. He really wants you to learn and he has a good way of explaining during lectures. I did all the work and it wasn't hard to get an A if you literally just try.
Super easy SOC class to pass with Professor Gannon. Gives really great positive feedback on assignments. Only four assignments and four exams and you have two chances on exams and you get one drop exam. Take this professor if you need the SOC credit. Assignments are actually really interesting and will get you thinking.
Really great, easygoing teacher! Gives consistent feedback and puts in grades in a timely manner. To do well on the exam you have to review his notes and go through the textbook, but its nothing too complicated! He has a fair amount of assignments and exams, for you to receive a fair grade. Would recommend.
Great professor! Some of these comments are harsh. I don't understand why! This class is difficult but if you study and give your time then you will do great in the class. The assignments are clear and easy. He's an easy grader and always gives good feedback. He replies to your emails fairly quickly! I definitely recommend it taking it online!!
Really nice professor, will help you any way he can if you reach out to him. His online class was super chill and easy. 1 assignment and 1 test per unit and they are not difficult at all if you read his notes and powerpoints.
Took this class online due to quarantine, though I dread online classes. This was a really easy one, We got about 5 assignments, and 5 Exams, lowest exam dropped (I Think). And really everything was super easy and spaced out, I probably only had to log into canvas and complete an assignment and exam ONCE EVERY WEEK, which I couldn't ask for better
This professor is great. He grades within a reasonable timeframe and always provides feedback which is nice. If you submit an assignment early, he will grade and will let you resubmit if you want fix to get a better grade by the due date. He has optional discussions where he replies to every one who contributes. He is always willing to help. Great!
He is a good teacher, but if your English a second language do not take his class. He will grade based on your grammar in your paper. I do not recommend him for English second language students.
This professor was amazing! Whenever I needed help I could reach out and get a reply less than 24 hours. Gives extra credit. He will drop your lowest quiz grade and two low reflection assignments. It is impossible to fail, unless you dont do the work.
Awesome professor!! You do read but it is not much, take a quiz and write a reflection each week on the chapter assigned . You have three papers but nothing extreme fairly easy. Do the work and you will pass. He also gives extra credit. And will drop your lowest quiz and reflection. There's no way you can fail unless you don't turn in the work.
VERY EASY CLASS! one quiz and reflection each week! The textbook is free and he provides a link! You can take the quiz two times and he keeps the highest grade! He has notes and a PowerPoint for each chapter! Very nice and sweet! Take this class you won't regret it!
Really nice guy and a really easy class. A reflection (a couple of hundred words on how you relate to the weeks' chapter), and a quiz each week. Papers weren't excessive, and he is a good grader. The textbook is pretty important, but is also free!!
Prof Gannon wants you to succeed. 1 quiz and 1 reflection each week. 3 papers through the course. Very easy A. Just read chapters, his power points and notes and you will do good.
Mr. Gannon has 1 reflection and 1 quiz per week, You have two attempts per quiz, but you don't know what questions you missed. The class is well organized with a free textbook. My complaint lies in his feedback. Very minimal feedback, tough grader, and does not round up grades. He's a good teacher, but there are better options for SOC 101.
It was a pretty simple and easy class but there was a lot of reading. He's a decent and simple grader but beware grammar mistakes will be caught if you make any. quizzes on every chapter read and some reflections. One paper and that's pretty much it.
Prof Gannon was okay. He grades your homework rather like it was an English 101 course & not SOC. It's a sociology subject but didn't think grammar matters so much, although I will admit, him correcting grammars in all your essays are helpful, but if English isn't your first language, you might wanna think about taking him as a SOC prof.
Great professor. Not very interactive but will have no problem answering questions. Honestly an easy class, just make sure to read his lecture notes and the textbook for the quizzes because they make up a big percentage of your grade.
Prof Gannon is an amazing teacher. He is kind and caring. You have mainly quizzes and reflections for your grades. There is a paper but is was easy if you are keeping up on the course. The exams are multiple choice and there are two class selections with the mid term and final. I cannot express enough how amazing this professor is , TAKE HIM.
Expectations for the course are very clear, I took the summer course and it is hard no to pass this class. You basically gotta read 2 chapters which are not too long, do one reflection (short paragraph) and take a 25 question quiz all related to the material on the text book.
Professor was nice and helpful when I emailed him. After his feedback my grades improved. As a professor he is great. Every two weeks you have a reflection which isn't too hard. You also have a 25 question quiz. Read and use lecture notes. Quizzes are all pretty difficult to get done. You will definitely use all 50 minutes for your quizzes.
Professor Gannon was honestly amazing. The short paragraphs he asked for each assignment are super easy to complete. as long as you can link one of the many subjects covered in the weekly readings to your personal life. The quizzes are difficult, but they are easier to complete if you print the notes and study them. Overall, Definitely worth taking
He paces the course very well and makes it very easy. Every 2 weeks you are going to have a short writing about the last 2 chapters and a fairly simple quiz. It helps to read the book about the key topics but, in some cases just skimming it will do.
Mr. Gannon has clear grading criteria. English is my second language and I managed an A. Just show that you care in your assignments and you will do just fine. He really does give you everything you need to be in control of your grade. Even second attempts on quizzes. Take him and you won't even have to buy another book! Free text resource.
Kind and supportive professor. He gives you two chances to complete the quizzes. NONE of the questions will be found on Google or Quizlets. So the bottom line is to come to learn, read the book, PowerPoints, and Lecture Notes, and know your material before taking the quizzes. If you miss a class, you can do a quick write-up to keep points. Easy A.
Sweet teacher who provides good feedback. Each week you do either a chapter quiz or chapter reflection (pick a chapter key term and write about how it relates to your life and experiences). Watch out for spelling errors to not lose points. Would say the only downfall was his quizzes were overly detailed but he gives 2 ATTEMPTS ON QUIZZES AND FINAL.
I would tell anyone going into his class to do the notes the way he recommends and to read the textbook. If you do those things to study you will do great! The learning part is on you! I can honestly say this Professor made me cry.... because his compliments on my work was so nice! I've never had anyone be so kind and encouraging to me.
Professor Gannon was the most efficient and comprehensible professor I've had. You genuinely learn in this course. There is one chapter test and one 250-word paper every week, with optional discussions. (There are also self-evaluations for points too). Prof. Gannon always provided excellent feedback, stuck to criteria, and was benevolent.
I took this online. Lots of reading. One week you read two chapters and write a small reflection on a key term that relates to your life. Next week is a quiz on those two chapters. He sends you what to study and focus on. Plenty of time to study and very low work load.
The class consisted of one chapter test and quiz every week and they were very easy! The textbook was also free and the information was easy to understand.
He is nice but you have to take a lot of quizzes.
Professor Gannon is a great professor to take for Sociology. I took his course online and had no struggles at all. The textbook is free and easy to use, and you're graded off of 1 quiz and 1 chapter reflection per week. One quiz will be dropped, so if your score is to your liking, you don't have to take the final. Leaves actual feedback as well!
This course was fairly easy and the professor was very helpful and understanding! He seemed to care a lot about his students! He also gives good feedback for assignments. Grades are based on super easy reflections and quizzes. There's also an optional final since your lowest quiz grade is dropped.
Take Professor Gannon! He provides the digital textbook for free and offers lecture notes and slides for each chapter (use them!). His class consists mainly of chapter reflections and chapter quizzes (two attempts). The reflections were easy and super fun. As long as you follow his rubric, which he makes very clear, it is an easy A!
Prof. Gannon is an amazing professor who cares a lot about his students. There are chapter tests online about every week that are easy if you take notes and pay attention in class. He also gave us the book for free! He makes learning soc fun :)
You can tell Professor Gannon enjoys being a professor. Gives good feedback and makes this subject interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this course.
TAKE HIS CLASS!!! Best professor I've had. Discussion posts optional, only 1 quiz every other week on 2 units and 1 reflection paragraph every other week (6 quizzes +1 final quiz + 6 reflections + 1 midterm/final reflection). He's very nice, and is very responsive to any concern you have. Gives back great feedback on every reflection!!
Professor Gannon makes this course fun and engaging. With free textbook access, regular quizzes and reflections, and helpful feedback, you can easily earn a strong grade. unstuck study was a game-changer for study prep.
This class was so simple. One chapter read a week, then one quiz to the chapter. That's it.
Professor Gannon made online summer school EXTREMELY easy to follow. All you had to do was read the assigned chapter/ chapter notes and take a chapter quiz. Would recommend this class if you have a hectic schedule.
Super easy class, and the professor is really nice. Textbook is free, and all he has is quizzes for each chapter and some easy written assignments for midterm/final. Take him!
Loved this class, it is mainly quizzes, but if you read the chapters assigned you'll be good. He was very responisve and understanding, overall great professor definetly take this class.
