GREAT professor!!! very fun and clarity is great. Very helpful. Recommended for all Classes.
she is really cool!!! she really helps alot, and she is very nice. I had fun being in her class. I don't think I ever got bored. so, I recommend for anyone to take her class because you will pass very easily. 3 big essays and lots of reading but that's it other then that. Very EASY!!!! So, take her!
No Comments
had her first semester freshman year. very nice and helpful lady. she is fair too and i did notice a huge difference in my writing after leaving her class. take her if you can.
Excellent teacher!!! She is very caring and wants you to learn the material. You can tell that she loves to teach english. She learns your name and the comments she puts on your papers are very polite and helpful. She even remembered my name when i bumped into her two years later.
I would have to say that she is one of the best english teachers that I ever had. Very clear in everything that she says and very easy to talk to. Her in class essays can be harder than the take home essays but it's the take home essays tht count the most. She very linient too. GOOD TEACHER!!!
I would have to say she is one of the nicest teacher, and helps her students in any way possible so that they pass her class. Funny lady, and likes to share personal stories, i would recommend those who need 098 to take her
She is very friendly and helpful. I am an internatinal student and was afraid of taking English class. However, she was good and I could pass the class. Just show that you are hardworking. Then she would try to help you as much as she can. Very nice person ~!
Professor Shannon is one of the most kind hearted person I have ever met in my life. She is absolutely wonderful and helpful. I definitely recommend her...you won't regret it, she's the best at CSUN .... honestly =) thank you Mrs. Shannon
Reminds me of a kindergarten teacher, she kinda like talks to us like were 2 years old. But it's an easy class shes lineant two essays graded hard but everythjing else evens out one final project that is HUGE doo it well and you'll be fine
She was such a great teacher. She was really nice and very understanding. If she taught another class that I had planned to take in the future I would definitely take it with her.
she is such an awsome person and teacher she is very laid back about assignments as long as u turn it in ur set!!!! very easy
just the best english teacher ive ever had! im a freshman and she is the first english teacher here in csun and its very helpful. she prepares us for the next 3 1/2 years. shes good and very clear. shes very helpful.
easy class ... do all your reading and work ... key word: PARTICIPATE! ... unless you're a dumbass, you'll pass the class
Very helpful...
I loved her class... She proves to her students that they can write... very nice lady always happy..... Take her if you want to pass and learn.
she's a great lady, her class is awesome, the work is easy when you pay attention.
such an easy class. sorta boring... rambles a lot! easy A!
No need explain ! Take her !
Great Professor!!
She is very boring she talks about her family all the time. If you talk back to one of her rude commends she will fail you
Professor Shannon is one of the greatest, kindest professors that I've had so far. She truly cares about your progress and pushes you to strive for success. Her cute stories are lovely to listen to, and always has your back when can't think of anything to say. I admire her deeply.
Class attendance, PARTICIPATION, reading, & *paper-writing skills* are required to stand-out in this class. She really cares about her students & is very approachable. I highly recommend taking advantage of her office hours/ finding some time to speak w/her semi-regularly about any ?s or concerns you may have. Do awesome on the papers and participa
She is the best eng teacher. she's very sweet and understandable.tries her very best to help her students.
she's one of the best english teacher i have ever had. she knows what shes talking about and shes always willing to help. she actually cares about you and she would do anything to have you pass her class. i learned so much in her class. i cant say i love english know because of her but i get it alot more i loved her so much i'm taking her 098 class
Very easy course. She is a bit like a kindergarten teacher though (even makes you call her Mrs. Shannon) and requires attendance. However, very easy going and easy to talk to. Truly cares about her students.
Ms.Shannon is great! She really cares for her students. She pushes them to work harder and her grading is fair. She does have nice stories and alot of funny things to say. i recommend her to everyone, especially if you like english and writing alot
Very helpful, works with you to make your work the best it can be. real active professor and easy going.
Mrs. Shannon is the best! She loves helping her students and is very good at it. All she wants is for you to get ahead without getting lost. Has many very interesting and funny stories and her grading is fair. Easy class to pass if you do the work (not very much work) and go to class.
Ms.Shannon is the best!Really caring and easy to approach professor.Her class is easy to pass as long as you do her work. which isnt much.
Mr.s Shannon is easy. Class attendance isn't really necessary. Just do her work and you will be fine.
Greatest professor in the history at what she does. Her helpfulness, her attention to what she does and the love she has for it made being in this class an automatic eternal memory.
Great teacher extremely nice and helpful.
THE MOST AMAZING AND CARING TEACHER IVE EVER HAD AT A COLLEGE!!! AMAZIIIIINGLY GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES.. AND IF YOURE INTERSTED IN GETTING THE GRADE SHE WILL HELP YOU TO GET THAT GRADE NO MATTER WHAT... AMAZZZZZZZZING TAKE HER ...NO QUESTIONS.. ASKED
Great teacher easy to talk to. Does want a lot from her students. just try on the work and she will give you a passng grade. I would take her again if i could
Professor Shannon is one of the best teachers I have ever had. It is a privilege having her as a teacher. She is intellectual and knows about many things aside from the material she teaches. Easy to talk to and VERY helpful, you will not regret taking her classes. If you don't believe me, just search her name on this site and read the reviews!!
The BEST - BEST - BEST prof. ever. Very easy if you do the work. My writing improved so much in her class. + she is very nice and understanding. Don't be stupid - TAKE HER!
i know her very well. and i highly recommend everyone to take her class. she encourages and cares for her students. just one word: BEST!
Best professor ever, she helps you alot. She wants the student to do will. You really don't need the book much but if you want to read and see example then buy it.
amazingggg! she's awesome and really cares about her students. she's like the nicest lady ever. and extremely helpful!! take her take her take her. for whatever class she is teaching. i'm sure she'll be great.
Nicest teacher I have ever had. She really tries to help you. Attendance is mandatory and class can get boring but it is very easy and straightforward. 2 easy midterms, 2 easy writing assignments (2 pages max each), in class essay, and a group project that you work on throughout the semester. Great class, easy and somewhat interesting.
She is a sweetheart. I can sincerely say no other English teacher has helped me as she did. She pushed me to try harder to pass her class. She loves her student. She prefers to know what you think even if is crazy as long as you can back it up.
Best teacher, extremely nice and helpful :)
SHE IS GREAT. she is really helpful and the class is not hard. you just write essayd that she lets you revise three times. there is no final just a porfolio you have to put together of all your essays. don't hesitate to take her.
she is GREAT!!!!i loved her class she is very easy, dosnt make you read alot, just keep up with the readings and the notebook and you will pass the class. she is the best teacher, she cares alot for her students
Very nice teacher. She grades fairly, and there aren't many surprises in the class (except for a few pop quizzes based off of the textbook). If you're not the best writer, then utilize her office hours, she will do her best to help you. There is a lot of work at first, and at the end, the team project takes lots of attention.
Take this class! she is a great prof. very helpful and caring. we have like three papers, a couple exams, and a final group project, which is pretty interesting.I really recomend this class! shes awesome!!
she is a very nice and helpful teacher. Very easy and very clear.
Great teacher, works with you, will support you. Positive feedback.
She is an amazing teacher. She is very nice and helpful. She cares about her students. No more than three absences. three progressions which consist of exercises that lead up to essays. The final is a blog project along with a portfolio of your best work. I defiantly recondite this teacher she is such a sweetheart.
She is a great professor. We had 2 short essays, 1 research report, 2 very easy midterms, and a final group project. We worked in the same group the whole semester. She is a very easy grader. I learned a lot about business in this class. The class might have a lot of work, but it is all very easy, and the final group project was fun!
Pretty nice professor. Participate a lot and she'll like you! Easy grader. Not a lot of work.
TOP 5 best teachers of all time. really take advantage of the presentation and let your imagination run wild. Do all the work and you will get an A-/B+ but "As" are'nt that easy to get in her class since it takes a 94%.
Going to class is mandatory & it is boring most of the time. Participation, discussions, & reading the books are a must; 3 essays with progressions, 1 in class essay, group presentation, & reflective essay. She is extremely helpful, but grades differently than she says. Easy A with little to no effort at all, but it is very tedious.
She is very clear and organized. The class was interesting and attendance is mandatory!
She is the best English teach I've ever had. She taught me everything I know and I recommend you take her class. She replies to all your emails and loves her students very much. If you don't undersnd certain essays she expects she will give you another topic to write about. She can be quite boring but I got a B+ in her class. You guys will love her
She is the sweetest! She makes her class fun. Her grading is fair and you need to read the book. She discusses the reading in class and calls on people. The readings are easy though.
She is really one of the best english prof. She is very clear with what she wants. She is very helpful. She replies every email. I learned a lot of things from the class. You should definitely take her. But you need to do classes regularly.
Probably the nicest and sweetest teacher at CSUN. Do all the work while putting some effort into it and you should get at least a B no problem. Weekly readings are required but it will help you for midterm. Put time and effort into the group project and you're set.
She is very clear about what she expects of you. Do not take her if you plan on skipping class. Attend every class and do all of the readings and homework. She gives out a lot of busy work but if you do it it's an easy A. Do not take her if you are lazy.
One of the most sweetest ladies you will ever meet. She's very kind, understanding, and truly cares for her students. Not a tough grader at all. If you go to her office hours, she even proofreads your essays. TAKE HER.
Best professor ever at CSUN. I took her for two semesters and will gladly take her again if i could. She is wonderful!!! Love her!!! attendance is mandatory. There are a few essays, no tests or finals. She is very straighforward with what she wants from you. Easy A. I highly recommend her!!
professor is really nice and sweet. weekly reading must be done and will discuss it in class. very fair with grading, no tests more writing essays than anything. three major assignments only.
The sweetest professor at CSUN. She's an easy grader as long as she sees that you are trying. There are multiple writing assignments and the last assignment is a big group project. Pick your group wisely since you will be working with them most of the time in class assignments.
One of the sweetest professors at CSUN. She really cares about her students passing. In her class there is not many tests just a lot of writing. There are three major papers that are the ones that effect your grade the most and a essay that is written in class. She is very helpful, gives good advice on how one can improve their writing.
missing class low grade. she is a very sweet lady but has this huge group project that is worth half your grade. This project will make or break you. if you hate group projects pick another class.
Difficult grader but will help a lot if you go to her. Final project is in a group so make sure you're with good students. Difficult to get a solid A but if she knows you're concerned she will help you
She's awesome! We went over the book a little every class, had midterm and final where she gave us the questions she chose from. The biggest part was the group project, but the writing assignments can add up. Follow the text and you should be fine, but if you're not she's ALWAYS there to help.
I had professor Shannon for Queer Studies, and she is so amazing ! Right off the bat, she introduces herself, and is actually interested in getting to know you as well. When she lectures, she talks about interesting topics, and always makes sure you understand what she's teaching. She's very helpful and understanding. I would definitely suggest her
She is a good professor but she seriously grades too hard....I'm a student with 3.86 GPA, and I got BC on the homework? Got nothing to say.............
Easily my favorite professor at CSUN! Really easy reading homework assignments and discussion in class and a big group project at the end that was very enjoyable, actually. She's a really easy grader as long as she sees effort and is very willing to help, whether you're her student or not.
Best Professor at CSUN! she is really sweet and nice, she will help you become a better writer. there's only three major essays follow by other assignments. and there is also readings to do but they're are really interesting! i would definitely recommend her!
Very easy A. Only 3 major essays and some other assignments(all count towards your grade). Discussions in class are very interesting and fun. I highly recommend her.
Loved this class. All you have to do is pay attention to the things that she looks for in your papers which is only 3 and you'll get an A. She's really nice and the discussions are amazing.
you'll be in a group for the majority of the year and the final is a presentation with your group. Make sure you choose wisely, try to enjoy it. She made my first semester back in school a good one. Best Professor I've had thus far. Ask her about "Damn Good Cookies". Put in work and you'll leave the class with a good grade.
She is a great professor. She is a tough grader, but its for your own good. Choose your group wisely for the final project ( because if you don't, it will hurt you). Would take again, if I ever had to.
Shannon is a very kind professor that really does care about each individual passing her class, which is really easy to do. Defiantly recommend to take her class.
From the start she lets you know what the class will be doing, what she expects from the students, and makes it clear that she is there to help you not scold you. Although attendance isn't mandatory, points are taken away after missing 3 classes. Quizzes are based on textbook readings, one major group project replaces final. Easy A if you try!
Professor Shannon is hands down the best professor here on CSUN! LOVED this class she made it worth it!
Love Shannon! Took her for QS 113 A/B and she made it worth the while! She's so sweet and caring- but don't take it for granted she is a tough grader. Be ready to read and write. However all the materiel is really interesting and you will learn alot! Defiantly one of the best professors ad CSUN! #shoutouttomybooshannon
She's a great professor. She doesn't give a lot of work and she is not a hard grader. You definitely will need the textbook for her class. Her assignments are easy and straight forward. The only downside is you have to work with the same team the whole semester but other then her class is fairly easy.
Professor Shannon is by far my favorite professor this far. She is extremely helpful and wants everyone to succeed. Her assignments are very reasonable and are actually helpful for your future. She is always willing to help you and is very nice and funny. Big group project for your final so make sure to choose a good group. Favorite class!
Awesome Professor
Ah, Professor Shannon will be my favorite professor of all time. One big group project (pick your group wisely), two midterms, and other small assignments. She might seem tough at first but is so nice, and an easy grader. Definitely should take it if you are planning on taking a Business 205 class.
about 3 main papers, and every week Moodle post! really amazing professor and understanding . helps you get a better grade, will met outside class to help you on your paper for ideas.
One of the best Professor that I have ever taken with. Her class was fun and amazing and I always was excited to attend. Do as she asks and you'll get an A. I recomend you to take it with her!.
Prof Shannon is one of the best when it comes to bus writing. I finally learned how to write for bus setting. Textbook is cheap. She helps a lot during her office hours, grades very fairly (not that hard). Pls be careful who you choose for your group; don't go by sight, go by brain and based on who is responsible. Many assignments, but manageable.
Amazing
Professor Shannon is one of the best professors I've had at CSUN. She loves her students so much and really does an amazing job with helping everyone. GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS she will help you so so much. She is a fair grader and her assignments are really fun yet beneficial. I would recommend her to anyone.
Awesome Professor that helps a lot! You will love the class!
Professor Shannon taught me so much about business communications. You will get a lot out of this class especially if you take her. Just do what she asks and GO TO OFFICE HOURS. She is so sweet and truly cares for her students!
AMAZING!!!!!
She is easily the sweetest professor i have ever met. She creates such a bond with her students! She was evacuated because of the Santa Paula fire at 4:30 in the morning and still came to class. She is easily the best and I don't think I'll ever meet a strong woman like her.
Professor Shannon is one of the greatest professors in Northridge. She truly cares about her students. She wants the best for her students. She will help you out on your essays if youre ever lost.
Sweetest professor Ive ever had she genuinely cares about her students.
One of the best teachers at CSUN. I was never bored in her class. The group project was a fun experience.
Best teacher i have had. Learned a lot in her class. She was never boring and was always very nice! Sometimes she is very flexible about assignments and she really cares for her students.
She is one of the nicest profs I've had. It did annoy us students that she rambles a lot about her family's non profit, sometimes up to 5 minutes a class. She also has messy handwriting for feedback, which sucks. She also does not submit grades until end of semester, so I didn't know what I had in the class. Final is a 30 min group presentation.
Mrs. Shannon is great. She is very kind, and will have no problem handing out A's if she finds you to be a hard worker. I have handed in a few assignments that I certainly got a better grad than I deserved, just because she liked me. Dress well, raise your hand and participate, and go to office hours as much as you can and you will have no issues!
This class is very easy to pass. She also really cares about her students and wants everyone to get something out of her class. If you do the readings she assigns and show up to the workshops, you should be fine.
Mrs. Shannon is the sweetest and most caring professor Ive ever had. She really cares about her students and will work with you if you need help. I would definitely recommend taking her class. Its super easy and she talks about interesting topics which helps when writing your essays.
She is a great professor and actually teaches. I learned a lot about my writing skills during her class. She will take any time out of her day to make sure you have a clear understanding Of what was taught in class.
Professor Shannon is amazing at preparing you for business communication. Her class structure is engaging and the tests and projects challenging but rewarding. She clearly cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. The feedback she gives you on your work was very useful even for someone who is already a really strong writer.
Professor Shannon is one of the rare professors who is on your side. She is always willing to let you know what you are doing wrong and how to fix it, in a kind, understanding manner - however you have to make the effort to let her know you need help. Visiting office hours will ensure you will get a good grade.
syllabus is given so I recommend getting work done beforehand dont get Waves Book, DO get Queer: A Graphic History midtermIn class essay (you get prompt 2 days before) finalwebsite (Be informative and not boring) DO THE ONLINE DISCUSSIONS!!! dont miss > 3 days easy A as long as you know what youre talking about lol
Great professor, very caring and helps you with any question you have. Clear grading, she work for you not against you, so if you put your time in the assignments, you will get the grade. There's a group project, but everything else is individual work.
Professor Shannon was great. Her grading methods are very clearly laid out from the beginning. Mostly individual work with one group project. Shes very picky about grading so make sure you follow all the guidelines she has. She gives very good feedback on all assignments so you can improve your writing. Id definitely recommend taking her.
She is literally the best professor ever! She truly cares about her students but more importantly she ensures you succeed. 10/10 for her and highly recommend for incoming Freshman to get a great experience and a great start on your GPA.
If you need to take ENGL 205, hurry up and sign up for her class, as her class will fill up fast. The overall course work included five canvas discussions, five news reports, eight straightforward quizzes, two writing assignments, one group project, and one research report. Although the workload sounds hefty, it's all simple work.
I LOVED THIS CLASS! Professor Shannon is such a gem and one of the sweetest professors I have had in my entire college career. I'm so sad she is retiring after the spring semester, if you have a chance to take her class I would! She made my first semester at CSUN a great experience!
