Shannon is excellent, dedicated, and energetic professor. Although I thought it was going to be hard my very first semester at college, She made it quite easy for me. The way she does her job is just helpful because she got the students attention. I'm impressed and encouraged to continue with my career goals. Great work with Counseling 116!!!
Teacher Shannon is very professional, she is helpful. At first I was scare to take this class but after the first week I realize what easy was, I recommend this class especially if you no have idea what major to chose.
Mrs. Muir was an amazing teacher! I had her just last semester at Orange Coast College for my very first class in college! Her Strategies for College Success will stick with me through out my next years as a student and I have already used many tips to help me through my second semester! She made sure to make the class interesting and fun!
Very helpful professor. Mrs. Muir is very dedicated to her students and really pays attention when help is needed. Helped me out to figure out my career. She will still help you out after her semester is over. Highly recommend her.
I took Counseling 116 for intersession and it was so easy. I passed with an A even though I didn't turn in two assignments. You learn about yourself and what career is best for you. It went by so fast and it never seemed like we were working.
I took her strategies for college success class during my first semester at OCC and the information and advice she gives throughout the class is something that I'll probably use all through college. She's really nice and her class was fairly easy. It was mainly just quizzes based on her lectures and a few group projects.
I think it should be mandatory for any student who is unsure what they want to do in life or for anybody that needs reassurance in their strengths, this class is a must. This class involves weekly one page papers due. (it is not hard at all, easy topics) during class lectures she likes to put people into random groups.
She is great at what she does which is why she chose this career. she makes the class really fun. she also gives you activities and if you do them you get extra credit for them. Best counselor/counseling professor i had. I would also recommend my friends on taking on her class if they are unsure on what they want to be.
She is amazing! Loved this class. I was very skeptical about my major and this class definitely directed me in my future path and I feel so confident about the career I want to pursue now.
She was amazing! a ton of good food for thought and very many inspirational and motivating lectures in her class!
She truly cares for her students and has a lot to offer to each and everyone of them.
If you are are you looking for the a professor that will not only inspire you but also help you, then you need to take Mrs Muir. She made such a big impact in my life! If you do the work you will enjoy her class and the resources she introduces to the students helps.
If you are undecided on what major to do, I suggest you take Counseling 116 with Mrs. Muir. Her class is very helpful, she gives you many useful resources. She truly cares about her students suceess.
She is a great professor!! I loved her class she helps out a lot if you are undecided with your major I would tottaly recommend taking her !
She is a good teacher, very helpful, and she is there when you need help. She always understands you, and teaches you a lot about career planning and all the things you need to know when choosing a career .I would definitely take her class again.
This class was very informative and beneficial to someone who wasn't sure about what career field to go in. As well as what type of person I am. I learned material I didn't think I would. It touched on many subjects all bringing it back to what fits best for your personality. Great, caring, inspirational professor who will help you out.
Best teacher ever!!!! Lecture and assignments are interesting And so helpful. This class will help you with your sac experience. interesting class whether you know what your major is or isn't. You will learn a lot about yourself and best skills to be successful in college . She is always willing to help
I took Professor Muir in Winter 18 and her course truly taught me me a lot, in both of my professional and personal life. Her class was easy and fun. She also truly cares about her students.. I would definitely take her class again!
I took this class in the fall of 2018 as a 8-week class. The professor gives good feedback and is caring. I highly recommend you take this professor if you have the chance. I felt like this class was super easy and I really enjoyed it.
She's a awesome person, one of the best professor at SAC. I learned so much from her. A lot of the information she has for the students is really important for those who are kind of undecide it on what major they want. You will learn a lot from her. All the paper work is super easy. Be on time, show up to all the classes, and you will get an A.
8-week course; at first I thought it would be overwhelming but if you put in the time and effort you will earn an A. You will learn a lot. Mrs. Muir is extremely caring; by far she is best professor I have had the honor on taking with at SAC. Also, her feedback is phenomenal and it will help you succeed in your occupation or personal life.
Great professor she is caring and gives good feedback. As long as you you what is asked you will pass the class.
Great class! wish i could take it all over again!
This class was fair and the work for it was reasonable. Really recommend. Had to purchase a book for it, but I don't feel that it was necessary, I feel that without it I would've still passed.
She's a great teacher. I highly recommend her.
I really enjoyed my critical thinking class with Professor Muir. She always gave very thoughtful and specific feedback and I felt that she was very engaged with my academic development. I enjoyed taking this class online, but I wish I could have taken it in person. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hello my name is Cynthia I highly recommend taking her shes honestly one of the very best flexible teachers out there that works with what ever you got going shes very helpful towards students and you will not regret taking her best counselor teacher out there shes genuinely really nice too
Mrs. Muir is a great instructor! She is very thorough when it comes to explaining Work assignments. Also, she gives amazing feedback.
Great professor, everything you have to do it straight forward. Go to class do your assignments and homework and you will receive an A. Makes the class a good environment to want to be in.
Shannon Muir is a great professor because she is a very positive person shes very nice
Professor Muir is amazing I took her online class even though we werent in a face to face lecture she was very caring and sent messages giving great feedback after our assignments. I would recommend EVERYone to take her class. Shes one of the greatest professors Ive had a SAC!
This professor is one of the best professor's I have ever had. She is super sweet and will go above and beyond to help you. The course material is very easy to understand. As long as you do your work, you will not only pass but get a great grade!
I took counseling 144 online (8weeks). Professor Muir is very clear with her grading criteria. I also felt her feedbacks were positive and very encouraging. I enjoyed her class and would definitely recommend everyone to take her class.
Professor Muir is a great professor that I have ever studied. She gave a lot of extra credit. If a student study hard, he or she can achieve A grade easily. Additionally, this class saves me plenty of times because I can do exercises in advance. In this course, a student learns about critical thinking, rhetoric, persuasion, and argument.
Enjoy taking CNS 116 with professor Shannon Muir I love the fact that she informs her students about the real life & brings people to insípire us and this class is so motivational definitely will take her again
The best thing about Professor Muir is that she give great feedback. From her responses, it's clear that she read what I wrote and she cared about the students. You have to put in the work for her class and it's no easy grade, but I think it was all worth it. I would sign up for another of her classes again.
Mrs. Muir is a great professor. This was my first time taking online classes and she made it easy for me to experience. I will highly recommend people to take classes with Mrs. Muir, she is very good about reminding students when assignments are due. always gives good feedback. I could tell she cares for students to learn.
Prof Muir is amazing! She gives great feedback on your work. Shes also accessible and reply to your questions promptly. She cares for her students. This is an online class so reading all materials, participation on discussion board and doing all assigned task is important to succeed in this class. I highly recommend her!
I took the Counseling 144 course online and it was a great class to take. She provides a grading rubric that allows you to see how to earn all the points for the assignment- follow that and you will get a good grade on the assignments. She is so friendly and really motivates her students. Participation is key!
Currently finishing her intersession call. I found her to be a very responsive and helpful online professor. She grades fairly and I learned a lot. I highly recommend this Professor.
It was a lot of reading but the teacher is very respectful and gives good feedback. Absolutely no problems.
I was hesitant to take an online class however Professor Muir clearly outlined her expectations and also provided useful feedback. This experience has given me the discipline needed when taking a online course. She provided a generous amount of support throughout this fast paced course so it it impossible to fail!
Professor Muir is great! She is always available to answer questions. I took this class online during Winter intersession so it was very demanding as you know it's a class squeezed into 4 weeks. Lots of reading and quizzes to follow after. The good thing is that the quizzes are open book so it should be easy if you take the time to read
Participation matters a lot you will be asked to answering many questions that will involve your classmates meaning making comments. Also there will be essays to write when a draft is grade it will come back with great feedback to make corrections, but also in all assignments will have feedback on how you did.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THOSE 5 REVIEWS. they are all fake. Multiple were even done on the same day, also they are too well written so that's how you know they were staged. Muir gives a lot of work and expects you to prioritze her class above everything else. She is not lenient at all. She does not give study guides, or extra credit. DONT TAKE HER CLASS
It was a privilege to attend Professor Muir's class. She is kind and cares for her students. I had her for Counseling 116 which I would recommend most if not all students entering college to take. I feel more confident in the direction and have a better understanding of navigating through college. Do the work, attend class, & it is an easy pass.
Professor Muir gives great feedback and genuinely appears to care for her students. She takes extra effort in ensuring that students are successful in the course. Highly recommended.
Such a wonderful Professor to have. I recommend anyone that goes to SAC to take her. Anyone can get an A if they try and put in the work. The assignments are very clear and the lectures are interesting especially group activities. Thank you, professor .
Professor Muir is one of the most interactive and caring professors I've had. It may seem like a lot of work but it's nothing that's not doable. I appreciated the feedback that she gives on each assignment. She is quick to respond to any questions and her assignments are clear on what is expected. There is also extra credit so take advantage of it!
Shes is the sweetest and most professional person I have ever met. I am thankful for having you as part of my success.
I really enjoyed this class. I took her for online in the 8 week course. It was a bit overwhelming but you stay on track with all the assignments you should be good. The book you need is very inexpensive and you definitely need to read it or try scan through. She gives a study guide to study!Exams were easy for me and the final was also easy. EasyA
This is a critical thinking class that focuses on rhetoric, persuasion, and argument. I found this class super helpful in improving my writing skills. Mrs. Muir is super helpful, nice, and cares for her students. She provides positive feedback on all your assignments and is very thorough. I am super happy I took this 6-week summer course with her.
She is good. She tell you your weak point, so you can improve yourself. Read book and you can answer quiz easily.
Great professor
I took the 6 week summer online course. Mrs. Muir gives great feedback for all of the assignments, which is something that a lot of professors lack. The textbook was a great read and you really learn a lot. I think the course was amazingly organized and the pace didnt feel fast at all! Mrs. Muir is a real QUALITY instructor.
Professor Muir was the sweetest professor I have had at SAC! I highly recommend taking her class, It helped me develop my goals and criteria for my future career. Whenever I needed help on an assignment, she was available to my assistance. She motivated me to get through this and I am super thankful for having the opportunity her as a teacher!!
THE "a"was me. never wrote a review before. Well, Risky but take the course. See how you like it. Then before the drop date make the decision stay or withdraw from the class. Just don't complain about taking a 6 week course being too difficult. that's how it is when you don't want to take the full semester.
Professor Muir is great! She cares a lot about her students. Very easy to contact and instructions are very clear. Extra credit is offered. All activities are very interesting and fun to do. I highly appreciate all the feedback that she gives on each of the assignments. TAKE HER CLASS!! I recommend it. Thank you, Professor.
Her class seems very easy, and she answers your email very fast. Complete your work, and you will have a good grade.
Professor Muir was great! Really helped to build our critical thinking skills and how to develop rhetoric and the power of persuasion. I enjoyed the activities and discussions assigned. There was a lot of engagement and participation. Thank you!
Professor Muir is supportive and encourage her students to go away and beyond to succeed not only in college, but also in life. She notices each students individual need and suggest strategies and resources to help them focus and be successful. I learned a lot from her class. During this difficult virtual class mode circumstances.
I took this 16 week course for the Spring 2021 semester. The work is simple yet very valuable as I researched my future career wise. I learned so much that I even switched majors from Physics to Psychology. Professor Muir is very sweet if you are respectful, and she will respond to emails quick. She provides feedback if needed. I would take again:)
Great Prof! Very kind, generous and offers feedback on every single assignment! She is very organized and gives you clear assignment instructions. Extremely responsive and truly cares about the success of her students. If you take her for any class, you will not be disappointed.
Great course- this is my second time taking a class with Professor Muir. I enjoy the way to teaches. She makes learning engaging and interactive. She uses videos to make the learning experience great.
Took an accelerated class & although there's a bit of reading, so long as you stay ontop of it, all related assignments are super easy. She's super invested in making sure students pass by regularly checking in on you & offering extra credit. She's a great communicator & provides lots of helpful feedback on graded assignments. Great professor!
Professor Muir is a caring and compassionate instructor. She truly is invested in her students' success. My experience in this course was overwhelmingly positive. The exercises were Informative and I benefited greatly from the entire process. I highly recommend this course and this professor.
Homework is just a discussion post every Wednesday. Easy class, helped me pick my major because of how focused it is in the class!
Grades assignments and provides feedback within one day!!! Super easy!
Learning made easy. Good resources used. Great feedback. Skills learned were easily applied to real life.
Professor Shannon Muir is a responsive teacher. She is quick to get back to you and her class is self explanatory. Follow the modules, use the calendar for due dates and stay ahead of the class and nothing is a surprise. She gives you plenty of time to turn in work. Great summer class. Easy online course. Great professor!
Professor Muir was awesome! Took her for spring intercession. Instructions and grading criteria were clear. She provided examples, videos, and more to help you succeed. She gave great feedback on ALL assignments to help you improve next time. If you follow instructions and put in a lot effort, you will do great in her class. The work is doable.
This professor is such an easy professor! She is the best and has great assignments. The quizzes are super easy and duable. I didn't really need to do much reading. This class was so easy that I forgot I was taking it. She didn't give an essays just projects that were easy. TAKE HER!!
I enjoyed this course with Professor Muir. She expects quality over quantity.He responses were very constructive and thoughtful. Her course was very well structured, and great to follow along without getting lost. Even if you got lost, she was always ready to explain and get you on track. I would take her course all over again.
Professor Muir is a great professor! Simple to understand and an easy class. She gives a fair amount of homework, I recommend taking this course.
Took Cnsl 144 intersession and passed with an A. Prof provides some extra credit but you don't need to rely on it to pass, just do the homework.
She is a great professor that gives great feedback on assignments! Be ready to read and keep up with the reading. Very few quizzes. However, lots of writing and applying your knowledge.
I took Professor Muir during Summer 2023. The course is very easy if you understand the material and stay on top of deadlines, professor Muir looks for understanding of material when you do your discussion posts and major projects. Due dates are the same and updates were given beginning of the week. She is a kind professor.
