I was totally not looking forward to taking health, but it's required for transfer. The class turned out to be super easy, Shannon isn't at all judgemental about the health choices you are making but puts out the info for you to change if you see fit. Very relaxed class, class discussions, videos. 2 tests, open notes/book.. very easy.

Shannon is genuinely caring and kind. She's funny but provides a serious and informative learning environment. You work with groups a lot and need to take notes outside of class, which is fine. She provides a lot of things for your kit out of pocket and makes sure to learn your name and how your day is going. One of the best profs I have ever had!!

Shannon is probably the best professor I have ever had. Her class lectures were very informative, but also included the class in the discussion. It felt more like a conversation than a lecture. Her assignments are few, but lengthy. As long as you show up most of the time and do the homework, you're good to go. Again, AMAZING professor.

Words truly can't adequately describe what an amazing human being Shannon is! She's such a genuine, understanding, loving person. She loves her students! As long as you communicate with her, do the assignments and show up, you'll pass easily. I plan on taking both of the other classes she teaches just because it's her teaching them!

Amazing caring Professor. I don't need anymore HE classes but taking her other class just because she is just amazing. If you show up and make an effort you will pass. Just love her teaching style. You will have to do some reading but she also goes over the book in class. Most of the homework comes from the book along with personal assessments.

Shannon is genuine, kind, & shows the utmost care for her students. I have never met an instructor like her. Her personality speaks for itself. All that aside, she's organized & has a clear grading criteria. Her lectures are fun & weekly assignments are simple and straightforward.

Shannon Carr is literally the most caring and respectful professor at PCC. She really cares about each of her students and it shows. Her HE 242 was an easy and super helpful class to take. The workload is very manageable and she is super flexible with assignments and whiling to work the students needs. I wish I could have had her year round.

Super great class! One to two chapters of reading per week, plus a discussion post and a 20 question quiz, then you're done for the week! Can be finished super quick and the reading is actually pretty interesting. No zoom meetings (fully online) so I didn't get to interact but she seems super helpful and caring. Will take another class with her!

Shannon is invested in her students' well-being and cares a lot. The class itself is not that difficult, just read the assigned chapters/lectures, take notes, do the discussions, and complete the quizzes and you will be successful. Such a sweet lady! I took HE 242 (Stress and Human Health) and it was great. Lots of good information.

Shannon is hands down THE BEST INSTRUCTOR I have had. When I say you can take any class she teaches, and enjoy it, I mean it. I had to take a health class for my degree and expected it to be bland and boring, like high school health. Dang, was I wrong! I always left the class with a smile on my face, and an uplifted day. :) 10/10!!!

She always kept in mind class and timing. Whenever I had an issue I could email her and she would respond quickly and with diligence. Along with sharing personal stories or questions in class she always welcomed. I really enjoyed taking her First Aid class. If you enjoy first aid take her, Online was fine but in person a million time better!!!

Shannon did everything in her power to make the class enjoyable. During class discussions, she would often make appropriate jokes and encourage us to participate. While this class is very easy, it's incredibly informal and I learned a lot. Taking health with her this semester was great and I highly recommend taking any of her courses.

Shannon is one of those Professors that you wish you could take every single class with. I came out of her class with knowledge on how to manage my stress. I looked forward to every single lecture with her. You will not regret taking any of her classes. One discussion a week with two replies, one quiz a week, and weekly written assignments.

Carr does a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome and respected. she makes sure to have some fun in class as long as we understand the subject. In the First aid class, the first half would be lectures/videos and then we would go on and practice things hands-on. She took extra days to teach those who didn't understand. There is no busy work

She is easy-going and checks in with all of us.This class had me taking care of myself more than I normally do, she emphasized the importance of self-care and had us practice it throughout our week. Couldn't ask for a better Health teacher.

She is a very nice teacher. Only wants the best for her students and herself which is really good. The only thing I wasn't about was having to turn on our cameras and show our face every single class. Other than that I really didn't mind taking her class at all. There was one quiz every week about the new thing we learned. Good teacher :)
