his lectures are a bit boring and you can look them up online if you miss class. Labs are fun, you disect cow eyes and sheep brains. you also look at many other things like leechs and cat brains. I got a lot out of the class, and I hardly went to lecture. And if you ever have questions he is always willing to sit with you and help.Tests are easy to

When signing up for his Bio Psych course I wasn't thrilled.I don't like science and don't understand it. His lectures were all on Power Point and talked about amazing (and humorous) subjects! I learned so much from him! More than any other science teacher. He stays on topic and is ready to answer ANY question you have no matter how "dumb".

Dr. Fannon is easily one of the best teachers I have ever had. His lectures are interesting, and he always takes time to explain things, even to the, uh, less intelligent folks, for lack of a better phrase. If you show up and listen, you will get an A.He has inspired me to pursue a degree in biology and possibly master in neuroscience.

This course requires that you invest a decent chunk of your time, but that's how lab courses go. Professor Fannon's lectures explain everything well, and if you pay attention, there shouldn't be any surprises when exam time comes. He's also got a good sense of humor, which sometimes goes underappreciated. I couldn't recommend his course enough.

Biological Psychology was a great course, although a lot of it is review for anyone with a biology or psychology background. Fannon is an awesome professor.

I used the "Gives Good Feedback" tag because when I would talk to him in person or through email, he did give good feedback. Though if messaging through Canvas on assignments he is unlikely to respond. Also, in the first few weeks he did not really grade anything, but after that assignments were graded fairly immediately. The labs were great & fun.

Professor Fannon is by far my favorite professor I have had. the class is interesting and professor fannon is funny, I really enjoyed the weekly Zoom lectures he made learning the material easier and explained things so I could understand them better. I would definitely have him as a professor again.

while he seems nice he started using proctorio so when you take exams your screen is recorded making it hard to look at notes taking from lectures and it could be deemed cheating. there is a lot of info to take in and no time to mess up when taking tests.

The professor is friendly and passionate about biopsych but the class is extremely demanding. It's lecture heavy, requires 7-10 hours a week, and uses proctoring for tests, making online resources unusable. The first exam was rushed despite open book/notes. Consider fewer units and prepare well for this intensive course whether in-person or online.

As others have said, he by far the smartest professor/teacher I have ever had. Extremely knowledgeable in his field, passionate, funny, charismatic, etc. I am not even in a related major... As a business major, I would take the class again.

I had Professor Fannon for a hybrid offering of PSYC312 Fall of 2023. He was an amazing professor, and made the topic so accessible. His understanding of the concepts of learning are applied so naturally in the class that you hardly notice it. Amazing lectures, I wish he taught more courses.

Very straightforward and easy for a 4 unit course. Expectations were made clear from the beginning and the class is set up in a way for students to succeed. Hold yourself accountable to the neuroanatomy material throughout the course.

Professor Fannon was pretty good overall. The material itself was sometimes difficult, but Fannon is really nice and as long as you actually do the work and put in the effort you'll be fine.

One of the best professors at FLC! He's knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about teaching. Expect weekly chapter quizzes, lab assignments, and video quizzes. The material gets tougher, but staying on top of readings and attending his Zoom lectures ensures success. Highly recommend—he genuinely cares about his students!

Prof. Fannon was so awesome & his class was extremely interesting. His lectures were informative & straight to the point. There was a bit of reading, but the subject was fascinating. There were times when I would be watching the videos and he would add a funny video clip or note that would make me burst out laughing. Would recommend & take again!!

Took the online class, hated his 1.5hr lectures they were pointless. Super chill prof but very boring. Weekly textbook reading, labs, videos to watch + video quiz, an assignment/discussion, and a overall chapter quiz. It didn't take me too long honest but it's a lot to do. His exams are proctored online but don't require camera. Wouldn't take again

I loved this class! Great professor, makes content easier to understand. Everything covered during course lectures and reading will be the quiz and exam questions. Caring & knowledgeable. I learned so much in a short amount of time, & I know a lot of that is because of the way Professor Fannon teaches. Easy pass if you do the work.

Genuinely loved this class. Lectures are funny and genuinely cares about his students. As long as you complete all the assignments/labs meeting his expectations you will get an A. If taking synch/zoom class version, attendance is mandatory. I gave advance notice that I was scheduled to work during class once, points were still deducted.

I wouldn't take his class again. I'd rather take the course at another college with a different professor. He has a good personality and seems passionate about the subject, but his grading is very strict, the exams are intense, and he consistently covers far more material than the class requires. He even mentions this himself during lectures.

Sean Fannon is a really good professor. He gives lots of opportunities to ask questions and come to office hours if you need any help. There are quite a few assignments, but he is a fair grader and can tell when you put effort in or not. He helped me learn a lot about biopsychology and treated each interaction with consistency and care.

Easy as long as you show up to class & take notes. Not a tough grader & grade is almost entirely determined by online tests and quizzes. Only problem is that everytime I or someone else had a question about the subject and it wasn't directly on the slides, he "didn't know", which makes me question how long it's been since he's studied the material.
