HE IS A COOL TEACH. HE GRADES ON A CURVE. HE IS VERY CONSISTANT.
Good teacher. Recommended to me by a friend, was a grate class, his personality made it interesting and fun, best teacher I’ve had at SCC, reasonable extra credit, plenty of homework but easy tests easy enough to get an a.
His class is very lucid. He is aproachable and makes you undestand his teachings.Pay attention and you will do well. Great teacher.
I was took him for english 10 is very nice teache and very easy teacher. He is my favorite teacher in the world.
He's great!! very understanding if you can't make it to his class as long as you make up the work or tests. Very helpful, if you don't read just make up the stuff for his tests and he won't even know.. =D i'm serious.. very easy class, class is worth a lot of points but thier easy points..!
This teacher is very laid back and very helpful. He gives alot of extra credit. He sets a person up for achievement and not failure.
Mr. Hanson is very helpful and very funny. He is one of the best English instructor I've ever had. I highly recommend him.
I am a firm believer in the saying that there is always room for improvement, but Mr. Hanson defies this rule. I have had hime for two different courses and would have him for more should the chance arise. JC
Mr. Hanson awesome. He tells jokes all through class. He doesn't mind funny people. He appreciates humor. He explains things until you get them. The mid-term and final, and all "practice tests" are open-notes. As long as you do the homework, study vocab, and do good on your research project, you are guaranteed an A.
Great professor! Always helpful, upbeat and positive attitude. Take him, you won't regret it.
He is very nice and love to help out. Great teacher- you will learn form him.
he's really cool

Mr. Hanson is the coolest teacher I have had at Sac City. I have been there for a little while but I love him the most out of all the teacher because he is so funny, helpful, and the way he teaches; it's easy to follow and you really learn alot. I would recommend him for anyone. I wish he taught all my classes. He's great.
Took his course online and it was great. I put in a modest amount of work and got a solid A. It was a great way to get the course done. I would highly recommend.

I THINK JON IS GREAT.

He's an excellent teacher who explains everything clearly, is articulate, smart, and sassy. It's was an easy course and he uses the books a lot. By the time you are done, your reading comprehension will improve and you'll become a better critical thinker. Take his class, you won't regret it.
can't miss two or more classes or he will drop you.
He is sooooo flamin great!
Yeah...!? he's easy indeed! but the HYBRID reading 310 was kind of bad!...it had much more work for me(maybe others) to do than regular Reading 310 i believe! such as... too much typing(~writing).. :( ! made me feel like it were a writing class! anyway you guys would find out when you take hybrid ones!--->advice : take him but regular courses!
He is so cool and quite easy! I'd would recommend him to everyone!....The Hybrid class is not really tough! It would take you guys just a little bit of time to get h.w done! So dont be worried! Just take him no matter if its Hybrid or NOT..!
He's a cool and quite easy teacher! The hybrid class is not hard at all! It'd take you guys just a little bit of time to finish it! So... dont be worried about that! Just take him no matter if it Hybrid or not!
LIKE FORREALZ, ITS AN EASY A! HES A REALLY NICE TEACHER AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND! IF YOU WANT AND EASY A AND UNDERSTAND WHAT ENGLISH READING IS ALL ABOUT, TAKE HASON!
Take HIS CLass!! Highly recommended. Its an easy "A". Tests are easy, assignments are easy, and easy to understand. He is so nice, he really wants u to pass!!! He cares about his students. The class is so easy, now i am able to read alot better and easier to understand. Dun let his feminine side fool u cuz he is kinda fruity but the GOOD kind =D
This professor is awesome! Can't imagine taking any other professor who teaches engrd, he is a MUST if you want something lighthearted and fun in the mornings
he is the most adorable teacher ever. and he hums and sings nonstop. if you are taking a reading class take hanson. it doesnt get any better than him.
Loved him, super adorable and an extremely fun teacher. I highly recommend taking him, tests were easy if you paid attention in class and did the HW. He gives you tons of opportunities for EX.Credit so take advantage of that too!
Prof Hanson is so FABULOUS!! I luv him, he is so nice!! Easy A, grades fair, lots of E.C. we read "The Wedding," tests are from the novel & vocab. Research project in the end was easy (I got 500/500)!! take him & u won't regret it. I took the hybrid & it was easy. but doing the online HW on Blackboard was kinda boring.
Easy A, grades fair, lots of E.C. we read "The Wedding," tests are from the novel & vocab. Research project in the end was easy. I took the hybrid & it was easy.
He's a great teacher that I ever had in the world. If you guys want to take ENGRD next semester I would recommend you take his class. it's very easy and he's very helpful teacher too.
great teacher! take this class. very easy. all you do is take vocab tests (u get to chose the words), and read a book. also, online work, which is very easy! lastly, and final on current issure! super easy class, super nice professor, and ... JUST TAKE THE CLASS! you'll get an A!
i luv mr hanson! he made the class fun and interesting and never ever bored me. everyone in my class loved him and his work was reasonable never too much. really fair at grading. but hes the best!!!
OMG!!! best teacher ever!! i know that you right now are choosing your classes for spring 2010, so i highly recommend you Mr. Hanson. He is very fun!! makes the class fun too, si it get easy for us to learn everything. YESSS!! a lot of homework but it's WORTH it, trust meee!!PEOPLE, I NEED YOU TO TRUST MEE, HE IS THE BEST TEACHER!!!
Had him for eng reading 10 and when I hErd he was teaching eng reading 110 I had to go back
He is probably by far the easiest teacher Ive ever had. You have to be freakin retarded not to get an A in the class. I took his hybrid class, do the discussions on time and the rest of his grade is based on vocabulary tests and textbook questions.
Very Friendly and funny.. Easy A and lack of homework.. best Eng Pro. Ever!! Must TAke he's class!!!
Professor Hanson is the best english teacher i have ever had. If you love english you will love his class. As long as you do the work, attend class, and put the work in, your got the grade.
Great teacher. As long as you complete his work, with hard work, his class is great. Im an english lover, and i loved his class. do his work, come to class, and be responsible, and you will get the grade you want!
He is an awesome teacher, i took him for English Writing 310 and he was fun, sweet, clear, easy to understand and an all around incredible teacher. I will admit i slacked off in his class, and completed like 25% of the discussion boards but still got an A in the class. His grading isnt harsh! i highly suggest Hanson!
Best teacher in the whole wide world, the first day you will be like what? but that dosent matter, his class is super easyyy, A++ just study your vocab words and its all good.
He is the best teacher ever! I had a problem with his clarity, but all i had to do is ask questions!He is an easy A, very funny, very positive and nice teacher. He is very helpfull when ever you need help. I love that he cares about the students that are trying to make it.He will help you out in any way just so you can pass. i highly recommend him
He is the best! When something may be confusing he helps you you better understand.I want to definitely takeagain for my english writing class. He is an easy A and cares about his students!!
End of the semester for my class. I loved this class because he is such a great teacher.It is very easy to pass his class. Easy A long as you do the work and show up!
I took a hybrid course spending only hour a week in class. the class is really straight forward and Hanson does a great job of giving examples and and finding ways to relate readings to everyday life. Overall do your homework, reading, and pay attention to what he says and read the responses of your class mates and you';; do just fine.
This class is very easy! Absolute Easy A. The professor is extremely awesome! Very enthusiastic, helpful, and approachable. The class was never boring :)
I would totally recommend this professor. He is very helpful, easy going and not hard on the grading. His class passes by very quickly and it's also interesting. This professor is very awesome, and he gives good grades to students who are willing to work. I love this professor, he is worth to take his class. He's very funny and nice
i want to know who can tell me what u guys had to do for the project part at the end of the class?
He is a good professor. Very lean person and he is nice. The homework is easy and also the voc is easy too. You can say get a easy A in he class.
Very easy class. But u need to do all the work. Also, vocabulary. I would recommend him to everyone
He is a very good teacher. There is a lot of work but you will thank him for it. He is very enjoyable and makes class fun even at 7:30 AM. He is a very positive person. He will occasionally assign homework in the textbook but he will not collect it. Only do things that are mentioned in the syllabus. His tests are easy if you are prepared for them.
Hanson is really easy. The class is boring. You have to read a boring book and take quizzes on it. He does a lot of unnecessary stuff like vocal flash cards and group work. He grades really easy though so I would recommend him.
I took his class during the summer time and let me tell you. To my experience, he is the most inspiring and amazing professor. He has helped and will express his concerns to his students if they need help. He makes English fun and makes you want to come to class and be prepared to work. I would take him again and again if there is an opportunity!
Jon is a great teacher he is very helpful and clear as well as fun. His class was enjoyable and interactive, assignments and assigned reading is interesting. Would highly recommend this teacher.
WOW! I loved Professor Hanson. He has a great personality. He enjoys teaching and genuinely likes his students. I wish I could take more classes from him. There was a lot of reading and writing, but he is such an easy grader.
He's a really cool professor. If you have a friend in the class then I suggest sharing workbooks because he doesn't really check the work from there, only if you did the flashcards he assigns. He assigns online work so don't skimp out on the access code for the textbook. If you do the work, it's an easy A.
Read your assign book. Tests for the book and vocabs are super easy if you practice on your index cards and read your book. Vocab wkbk could be shared with a friend. I love how he teaches, very thorough and direct. Homework in the books are easy if you attend class, he gives you the same examples, but with more details.
his a good teacher i really like his teaching
Where do I start with professor Hanson?! He is by far the best professor I've ever had. His grading criteria is very clear and offers extra credit. There's hardly any homework & the class is super easy. He's VERY helpful and makes class so fun!! I'd walk in sad into class & come out in the best mood ever!
Professor Jon Hanson is the best English teacher that I have so far. He is very funny in class, he also give extra credit at the end of the semester. I would recommended all students should take him.
He is the best teacher I have taking tech very well able to understand the way he tech he care about his students success I rate him very positive grade he rocks
Professor Jon is the best English teacher that I have so far. His lectures are very good it got the whole class into it. I wish he could be my middle school and high school English teacher as well. By the end of the semester, he gives extra credit to us to improve our grades. He is the best.
This class was very easy to follow because of the teaching style of the teacher. He makes it fun to learn and he has good humor. Thanks Jon Hanson
Despite only meeting once because I took an online class. He seemed like he would be a great "on campus" teacher. He is easy to work with and easy to get along with. Very caring about his students passing. Says hi to you on campus! I would take again!
I took an online course and let me tell you, if you do every online homework, he will bump you to a 100%. I don't know if he does this to every student, but I struggled in some assignments and got B'S and C'S, yet I passed him with an A+. Just a kind, amazing teacher.
Easy online English course as a 6-week summer class. Prof Hanson is responsive to questions after in-person orientation. A nice guy. Surprisingly little reading to do. The homework was simple & his grading was beyond generous. Online multiple choice work was easy & he adjusts scores to full credit if you just try. No reason to not get an A.
I love this professor��. Very intelligent and funny yet very professional in his job��. I will definitely want this professor in the future for my higher English level��
Hands down best professor on SCC campus
I was taking ENGR10. He is a the best reading teacher that I ever met. He hardly have any homework, easy test. if you do your homework and read the book. you will pass the class. Prof. Hanson is a sense of humor person. it has so much fun in his class
DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOKS! HE WILL PROVIDE PAPER COPIES! Professor Hanson was one of my favorites in my first semester. I took his hybrid class. He gave critical feedback on papers, as well as helped those who needed extra time. He did extremely well at structuring class procedures, quizzes, and tests. SHOW UP. He truly loves what he does.
Prof. H is always a effervescent person, so + and chill, work is very simple, hw is just study vocab, 40 words test are super easy if you study, always comes with smile on his face to class, if your having a bad day he will turn it into a good day, really organized Prof. not lecture heavy, really recommend him, loves his job, if he was Uber
He has such a positive and fun attitude! I loved coming to his class every week. I took the online course so we only met once a week. He replies to your questions fast. He gives you a clear understanding. Overall hes such a great teacher!!!
Great professor. Doesn't dock points as long as he sees you trying and submitting papers. Definitely recommend!
I took him for EngRd 310. And hes such an awesome professor!! He is so kind and funny. Very approachable and very understanding! I wish I could take him for every English class!
Just try your best and have no missing assignments and you'll have an A.
Im so glad that I had this class with professor Hanson. He is one of the best at Sacramento city College. He will change the idea of critical thinking in the student, and he will make you confident to write. Highly recommended.
Definitely one of my favorite professors i've ever took. Prof Hanson was so nice and I loved coming to his class twice a week. All assignments were easy as long as you stay on top of the work. Overall, got a 100% in the class and I didn't have to show up everyday.
It was an honor to have this professor. This professor is understanding, gives you positive feedback and motivates you. She gives you plenty of time to do the work and her directions are clear and understanding.
Prof Hanson is such a sweetheart! He is such a positive person and really helps you understand the class content. Do the work and you will get a good grade. It is really that simply!
Took this class in the summer, but class was really easy overall. As long as you do the work assigned and show that you put some effort, you'll be fine.
Super friendly person! Loves answering students' questions, always leaves feedback on past assignments. He also has several extra credit options, which is helpful if you missed a couple of assignments. Highly recommend!
Hanson is a great professor and gives good feedback on every assignment you turn in. Work in his class isn't too hard, and he tells you exactly what he wants. Not many large essays, but they're still very easy. Take this class to balance out a busy schedule cause if you're okay at writing, you'll do well. Also, the prof is really cool, seriously.
I look professor Hanson over corona time for my first semester and its so easy all you have to do is the work and you will get 100% in the class.
Easy course and nice professor. Assignments werent time consuming but did involve reading.
Although Professor Hanson's class is easy to pass, I believe it has helped me become a much more proficient writer. He is very clear on what needs to be done for the assignments and gives encouraging feedback. He also responds to emails quickly. Take his class if you need to take ENGWR300!
The best professor in English Department. Gives good feedback and approachable. All of his modules are easy to do and he also gives you a lot of time to finish up work, perfect classes if you have hard classes that you need to focus on! I wish I can take his class again.
Professor Hanson is so kind and understanding. His lectures are interesting, which is the topic of happiness that we find it important in our life. He's really accessible outside of class. You can ask him if you have any questions. He answered my email even if it's at late night!
One of the best english professors at Sac City. I was going through a family death during the semester and was really understanding and nice about it. Would definitely take him again!
This was probably the EASIEST class I've ever taken in college and I hate English! Professor Hanson is SO NICE and a great professor! If English is not your favorite, I definitely recommend taking professor Hanson because he makes it so much more easier and enjoyable!
I had to drop this class. I've dealt with enough bad match professors and suffered through them, and I didn't want to do it again. He's very blunt and I got a bad vibe from him from the start. He's probably great, he seemed very polite and caring when I emailed him I was dropping, but I knew I wouldn't be happy in the class.
He is one of the 3 greatest English teachers I have ever had the pleasure of taking. I took him back in 2019 and the experience was incredible. He was unbelievably easy to access and super understanding. I had a family member commit suicide which threw me off a lot in the semester that I had him and he was able to help reel me back in after that.
Probably the easiest class in the history of human beings lol. I was able to finish the work for the entire semester in one week and I was just chilling for the rest of the semester. He gives great feedback and is very caring and polite. There's one module due in 3 weeks, and there are only 4 assignments on each module and a concluding essay. rec.
I hate English but the material he chose for the class made it enjoyable and interesting. He answers emails REALLY quickly! The material was straightforward and not too difficult. I learned how to be a better writer. 4 assignments due every 3 weeks, so very easy to schedule around other classes. He sends reminders and has good feedback. Take him!
The best English professor, work is due once a month, he gives great feedback. He is caring, understanding, and amazing. You will pass as long as you do the work and follow directions. There is one major paper at the end of the semester, show up and you will pass.
I agree with the other reviews, this is a good professor and he doesn't make the class hard. He respects you and gives sufficient time to complete assignments. He answered my questions fast and clearly.
He is an amazing professor. You have a set of assignments due about once a month, they are relatively easy and if you do them you will pass. There was one significant paper due at the end of the semester, other than that it was a fun and easy class. I recommend him to those that do not like English that much.
Professor Hanson is such a great professor, I don't like English that much but Professor Hanson made it so easy. You do have a lot of reading, and its not super boring so you can read and understand what you read. You do not need a textbook for this class, he provide the reading. I also took him for English 300 College Composition. He is the best!
Assignments were given, usually 3-4 essays, 3 weeks given to complete them. Very clear guidelines and rubric. If you at least attempt each assignment I don't see why you wouldn't get at least a B. Gives clear feedback but expects you to use it moving forward, that's not unreasonable.
Great professor, the class is easy with short assignments and 1 papers which are due every 2 two weeks. The last week will be a final papers and no final exam !!!
If you're confident in your writing and reading skills out of high school (and didn't take any APs and attended Sac City), then definitely take Hanson. His class is easy and you'll actually learn (especially from the final paper), and he opens everything in Canvas up to the final assignment. You could wipe out the whole course in 3-4 weeks easily.
Had him for Fall 2023 & I'll tell you he is the most engaging and amazing professor ever. He does talk a lot but that's besides the point. Lectures are very clear & grading is also very clear. Just do the work & that's your A right there. The way he has his assignments formatted is that you have 2 weeks to complete 4 assignments. 10/10 professor
I took Professor Hanson's online ENRD 310 class in summer and it was super easy going. Assignments were pretty easy and straight forward. He always gave nice and positive feedback on work. He really seemed to care for his students suceeding, would definitely recommend. He is such a sweet soul.
I took this class asynchronous for the Spring 2024 semester. There are 5 modules, each with an assignment, "quiz", discussion, and paper. I found the assignments to be straightforward to knock out. He posts everything at once so you can easily work ahead. He was a very fair grader and frequently updated his grades. I would take this professor again
One of my favorite and best professors. You basically need to complete about 3 or 4 assignments every other week. You have plenty of time and the assignments are very easy and straightforward. I completed my work early and was done for the semester. He gave me a recommendation letter. Easy work, best professor. I would love to take his class again.
Professor Hanson is super kind! After submitting my papers he always left comments on what I did well. Instructions on assignments are clear and modules are posted at the start of the semester. He provides the reading materials so no need to purchase textbooks. His class helped me expand my vocabulary and improve my writing skills.
Great professor.
Great professor
Super easy professor just try and you'll be good. Loved his class. He has all his assignments open for the whole semester so you can get a head start on the other assignments and finish faster! very nice professor and answers very quickly to emails. There was only one to two assignments each week that were very easy! Totally recommend him!
Professor Hanson was amazing! Although my ENGWR 302 class was online, I enjoyed it and it was very structured and clear. As long as you put in effort, you will get 100% in this course. Professor Hanson is an amazing grader and provides good feedback. He replies to emails quickly and is flexible. I recommend him for all of you!
Only bad thing about him is I couldn't wear my hearing aids in his class because he was so loud but other than that his class was the easiest class I've ever taken even counting high school he was so easy and caring but got off topic a lot but he was nice. Wish we had a group project as I'm new to the area but was a 10/10 overall!
Professor Hanson is a very kind, understanding, and amazing teacher! He goes to great lengths to ensure you understand how to do all of his assignments and papers, a fun and humorous teacher, and generous with grading. He's the best teacher anyone could have to begin their first or early stages of college with! And better.. NO LATE POLICIES 😭🙏🏻
I love him, the best professor ever
Great Professor; I am very busy this semester taking 20 units and I needed a professor that don't make class harder than it has to be. As a result, I am very satisfied with him. We wrote major assignments every 3 weeks. It was an easy A
Professor Hanson's class is so easy and fun. There are two small assignments due every Sunday, one discussion per unit, and a research paper at the end. Hanson is understanding and caring about his students' work and gives great feedback. And he emails back quickly! I'd take him again and again.
Professor Hanson is very fair and doesn't overload you with work. He also gives great feedback on your assignments, and you can tell he cares about his students. Great Prof and I would take him again! I highly recommend him!
There are a couple assignments every week including readings, summaries, videos, and/or discussions. All assignments are grading quickly and he leaves helpful comments. Assignments are also open so you can finish the class early. Focus of class and the final essay is on happiness. If you do the work and try, an A is very possible. Prof is very kind
This professor is great. Assignments and lectures are well thought out and actually help you build skills to become a better writer. I would definitely take a class with Professor Hanson again.
very understanding and caring professor, also grades and responds quite fast. you can get an A as long as you do the work
One of the greatest out there. Very organized and easy class with super clear assignments. He covers relevant topics that are actually interesting *and* helpful! Hanson gives great feedback and makes sure to lift you up. He very clearly cares about his students and has passion in what he does!
Great professor and very clear on material. Not much overload on homework but does grade heavy overall an easy class and a great professor!
I cannot rave about this professor enough. I had him for Englc1001 and I'd recommend anyone taking that course or any he teaches to TAKE HIM! Made it very easy to pass while gaining confidence in your writing and analytical skills.
