Professor Gannon makes psych so intresting and fun. She is always working in life stories into her lectures that help you to really understand what she is teaching. She also loves hearing everyones opinions on things. She loves what she teaches and makes it fun for her class as well. Her tests are also all multipul choice and are easy to pass.
Amazing professor. She is funny and has a lot of passion for psychology. Take her class if you can!!
love her!!
Love this teacher! Extremely interesting and very nice. Nearly impossible to fail this class and as a bonus she is very attractive
one of the best psych teachers ive had!!! she loves what she does and has many stories that help you remember the material! if you can take her for any class do it! she is sooo funn and real nice!
She is one of my favorite teachers! So nice, helpful, and funny!!! LOVE'D her and the class!
She is amazing! The best teacher at SHU by a mile! She might even be the best teacher I have ever had. She is so cute, and provide such clear examples and explanations of everything. Study guides for the test, that really help you do well. She gives her students every opportunity to succeed
Incredible teacher. Can't wait to graduate so I can maybe swipe this cougar up!! She is so easy on guys, and some what easy with girls. Great teacher, easy tests, very specific with notes, FANTASTIC.
She is an excellent teacher !! Definitely take her class if you have the option because you will understand everything ! She shows video clips, youtube videos and has her on experiences to help you remember certain things. She is always in a good mood and has an enthusiastic tone when she speaks so you can never be bored.
She's a good teacher, but she uses the text book too much and it can be kind of boring at times. She does use videos, though, and those provide good examples of the material.
I loved her class she is so funny and if you pay attention and study a little bit you will do fine. She is an amazing teacher and she always has a good story to tell.
I took Professor Gannon because I was told from a friend that she was a great professor! And my friend was exactly right. So down to earth and in touch w/ all the new music & slang. Will always have you laughing with her stories on the topic being covered. Wants the best for her students & makes class fun and interesting. TAKE HER! Won't regret it!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER. Inspires her students. An extremely fair grader, and is able to transmit the information to her students in such a clear way. Does everything in her power to see a student succeed. I recromend you take her classes!
Take her!! Her tests are wicked easy and just like the sheets she gives out in class. She is the best teacher i have had at SHU
Best teacher yet at SHU! She is so nice and her classes are very fun and easy to understand. The books for class are also pretty interesting and the reading she assigns is barely nothing. All the tests come from the sheets in class. Best class ever!
She is amazing. By far one of the best professors I have had at SHU. She is very helpful, clear, and just an overall amazing person. I learned the more from her class then I did in my first two years at shu. I would highly recommend taking her class.
SHE'S AWESOME! Her class is fun and upbeat, and is the highlight of my week.
By far the best professor I've ever had. She loves teaching and all she wants is for everyone to be happy and do well. Take every class possible with her and if you can request her as advisor do so as well. She has helped me more than words can say.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Gannon. She is just an amazing professor. She has an awesome sense of humor and makes the course interactive and interesting. Such a funny woman. She makes study guides for quizzes and tests. Only gives one hw assignment per chapter. SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND PROFESSOR GANNON. HANDS DOWN THE BEST TEACHER I EVER HAD
Prof. Gannon is an amazing teacher!!! She's so nice and super helpful and friendly. Her classes are a joy to be in. The conversations get really interesting. We watched lots of videos and it's very relaxed. She loves people who talk in her class. It may seem like you can look up the studies online to do the hmwk, but buy the book. Hmwk is easy.
Obsessed with her. Absolutely hilarious and will break out into rap all the time. Cool teacher that will go above and beyond to help you. Hands down best professor at SHU.
I just took for her a one credit saturday course "Creativity of Psychology". I should probably start off by saying I'm not a morning person and I'm the last to sign up for weekend classes.. However- I knew Gannon was teaching it so I had to take it. She was amazing and absolutely moving. I wish more teachers at SHU had her passion. Love her.
AMAZINGGGGGG!!! Never laughed so hard while learning in my entire career as a student. She is just what every college needs, a light refreshing personality who makes a rather tough subject matter simple and fun! I actually looked foreard to going to her class and would tell all my friends about my lectures. TAKE HER! Need to read textbook to pass!
First time I've ever felt that I wish I took a class in the Fall/Spring instead of the Summer so that I could be in a class longer. Great professor and funny. Definitely a lot of reading but that's to be expected in a shortened Summer course. Straight forward grading, and writing assignments make sure you understand the concepts while being fun.
She is awesome!! I am taking her again! You learn SOO much with her. She makes lectures fun and gets people involved. You have a quiz every week (drops the lowest 2) and about a test every 3 weeks. Also you have homework due once a week. She is an easy grader with homework but tests and quizzes you have to study for but she gives study guides!!
My favorite teacher here! I took Gannon my freshman year first semester. She was such a sweetheart. She made her lectures so funny and enjoyable. She usually gives homework every week but they prepare you so much for the quizzes on each chapter and makes the test a breeze. She is willing to help get you a good grade in anyway possible! TAKE HER
Gannon is so funny and nice. She has a lot of energy so if you have her early in the morning have a cup of coffee before to keep up. She gives short quizzes before tests that are really helpful, the tests can be difficult so don't slack off when studying. She keeps lectures interesting with lots of stories. loved her
Do the homework because she gives no second chances. I've never missed an assignment and I missed the last chapter hw during finals week by mistake. I went from having a B all year to C as my final grade. Completely unfair and would not accept my late submission. Quizzes are harder than tests. Just study the power points for tests.
She's a great professor! Gives a lot of tests but they are all multiple choice and she gives great study guides for them. Quiz every week but It helps with the tests. Though there was a good amount of work It wasn't a hard class.
Gannon is very energetic and loves what she teaches! Weekly assignment since it is a blended class, but they take about 20 minutes to do. Definitely need to study for tests but she gives study guides and tells you what to review during her lectures! She loves helping you and always gives great real world examples to help better understand material!
Best prof I've ever had
One of the best professors I've ever had! Make sure to do the homework because it helps to boost your grade a lot!. Also study a good amount for the tests/quizzes because they count for a huge chunk. There is no cumulative final, just the last two chapters you are working on. I would crack up laughing every class- she is hilarious.
Amazing class. Lots of quizzes and homework but it makes the tests super easy. Tests and quizzes are always multiple choice and she gives a study guide for everything. No midterm or final. Also, she gives points for questions many people got wrong. Super easy if you pay attention to the lecture but you HAVE to read the textbook.
Professor Gannon was AMAZING. Though she definitely made you work for it, she also made it enjoyable enough that I was EXCITED to learn and go to class etc. She really cares about her students and lays things out in favor of them. She always made sure we understood material before quizzes and tests.
Absolutely love Gannon! Her class was always super fun and easy to follow. Gannon is obviously very passionate about what she does, which makes the class so much better. I would highly recommend taking her if you're interested in learning about psych. While she does give a decent amount of work, all of it is very helpful and straight to the point.
Such a hilarious amazing professor. You have homework and quizzes every week or two weeks but they help you so much in getting ready for the exams, and there are 4 exams. She always ties her lectures into real life situations and words things so that anyone can understand them. Quizzes and tests are pretty straightforward, she wants you to succeed.
I took Gannon for her internship class. She's great, and clearly plays favorites so if you've taken her before and she knows you, you'll be fine. She's clearly passionate about psych BUT makes you really think about your future/career and whether or not you are in the right field. Nice lady. A little flaky but nice.
I took this class over winter break, so it was 10 day online. There was a bit of work and it wasn't the easiest, but professor Gannon gave really good feedback. The class overall isn't hard, but maybe it would be in a classroom? idk.
Take Professor Gannon!!! She is the best professor I have ever had at Sacred Heart. She cares about her students and she was always able to help if you were confused. I was always excited to go to class because she made the lectures extremely fun and engaging. As long as you pay attention in class, tests and quizzes are a breeze!!
Very passionate about teaching and psychology! Lectures were very good. She wants her students to do well. Homework can take a while and the textbook is necessary for it. Some quizzes/tests were easy, but some were harder.
She is very enthusiastic about teaching psychology and her lectures are always upbeat. The quizzes and tests barely relate to her lectures. If this class did not online, I would have probably gotten a B-. Turns out her exams are taken from AP psych exams already made so taking them in person were impossible. Literally take ANY other professor.
Such an awesome professor, and if I could take her every semester I would! Her lectures are absolutely amazing and she always tries to keep class to an hour, but in all honesty class goes by so fast with her. READ THE TEXTBOOK!!! Quizzes help prepare you for the exams and she usually reviews for the exam beforehand.
If you put in the effort it will be easy & she doesnt ask for much! She is AMAZING! You are never in lecture for the full time she cuts it by 15 mins if everyone stays focused! Never a dull moment in her class. Answers emails & tells you everything you need to know. So caring and funny 100% would take again!
I took her class over the summer, Its an easy class if you actually do the work. she gives 4 tests (all open book), 4 discussion essays, and weekly assignments based on your reading. Since its online there is no set lecture so you can do the work whenever you want, but she offers office hours where you can go over whatever you may need.
super sweet professor, honestly very interesting and engaging lectures. she assigns a paper per chapter but if you put in effort, easy 100. the only issue was she did NOT allow late work whatsoever, if you missed the deadline it's over. overall for intro to psych i def recommend
A literal angel on Earth. Her lectures were engaging, funny, and to the point. All she asks is that you put your phone away and focus and you're usually out of there in under an hour. The tests were easy and exactly what she said they'd be. You have a weekly homework assignment, but they take like a max of 30 min and they're easy 100s.
Sweetest woman ever, she really cares about her student's success and is always trying to help them and encourage their growth. Her class is super interesting. Participation is key but she makes the classroom feel so welcoming and judgment-free. She really wants her students to learn. I wish I wasn't a senior so I could take her 100 more times.
Gannon, hands down one of the best professors at SHU. Take her! This course is an easy A, if you do the work! Discussion posts, assignments, and test, is all referred from the textbook!
Very caring teacher, and the class is very easy. Just make sure to do the work, and you will get an A.
Professor Gannon is such a nice and caring person. Make sure stay on top of assignments and don't miss any deadlines! She gives really good feedback on every assignment. The class is pretty easy, just make sure to use details and examples on your homework responses. Overall, I loved her class and you should definitely take her
I took Gannon's course as a freshman and she is amazing. By far my favorite professor and I actually look forward to going to lecture. She will only keep you for an hour. The only downside is there are weekly assignments that MUST be turned in on time (no late work accepted). These are based on textbook. All exams are online and not a lot of them.

I took Prof. Gannon for a summer psychology course going into freshman year. She was very clear about her expectations right from the beginning. Her class was lecture heavy and required lots of writing, but she was funny and engaging, and the material we learned was always interesting. As long as you put in the work, it's easy to do well with her.
Seems nice at first - but did not post a homework assignment until later than normal, and was very rude when I asked for an extension, due to my having multiple intense exams the same week. She was very inconsiderate and cold in her emails. Keep in mind I've handed in EVERYTHING else on time and with effort. She made my stress at least 10x worse.
I took Gannon for a summer course coming into freshman year and she was the best teacher, her lectures were long but engaging. she made everything clear in the beginning and will absolutely accept no late work. she also gave good feedback on your work and had it graded in a timely manner. there were only four tests all multiple choice and online!!!
I at first majored in Psychology for the love and understanding of the topic itself, and Prof. Gannon made me enjoy the subject and really be thankful that I chose this major. Wants everyone to succeed, but do not take advantage of her! Very flexible and understanding if you put in the work.
I took her for an accelerated winter course and she gave a lot of work, but it wasn't hard unless you didn't listen to the lectures. She gave assignments every week for my class and they were pretty long but not difficult. Super nice person and her lectures helped me understand the material better than the textbook. Would recommend her!
Gannon is a great professor and makes class very interesting. She uses lots of good examples in class and keeps everyone engaged. She also often finishes class early. I would definitely take her if you can!
Gannon was one of my favorite professors this semester! Super interesting class! I had a blended class that only met once a week and I wish I had class more often. She uses lots of good examples in class and keeps everyone engaged. I would definitely take her if you can! Had about 4 exams, no midterm, no final, and weekly assignments.
I took Professor Gannon for psychology 110 over the summer, it was online with pre-recorded lectures. She made the lectures super fun and engaging. The workload she gave was super manageable as well, and she graded assignments super easy and always gave the best feedback. She is such a sweet and caring professor, please taker her if you can!
Single handedly the best professor I have taken at SHU. She treats you like a peer, and genuinely cares about you, gives good feedback on assignments, and a very good reasonable grader. She makes class fun and uses everyday terms and example to help everyone understand the material she is teaching.
Absolute favorite professor at SHU. At first homework was kind of hard but her feedback is so informative it allows you to know what was wrong. Relates the topics to relatable real life situations which makes the topics so easy to comprehend. Tests were online. Loves to joke with her students. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Professor Gannon was one of the best professors I have ever had. She is so caring and down to earth and really cares about her students. She always makes class interesting and uses real life examples when lecturing that help you too better understand the material. I rented the textbook and use it occasionally when doing homework.
Professor Gannon is my favorite professor I have ever had. She is truly passionate about what she teaches and makes the course easy to understand. All the exams were online and easy. She cares about her students and wants them all to succeed.
I really enjoyed Gannon's lectures even though they were all online, because you can really tell she is so interested in the material she is teaching. She was a bit of a tough grader on the assignments you had to submit (one per week), but as long as you showed growth she would give you a 100. The tests were easy, take this course if you can.
Gannon is literally the best. She makes her lectures relatable and uses plenty of examples. If you took AP psych, her class is pretty easy. Don't be afraid to stay after class to ask questions, she's super flexible. We have hw once a week and tests are all open tab Blackboard.
Professor Gannon had four test that were all online, open book, and could be taken from 8am - 1159pm on test day. As long as you show up to class for attendance and do good on your homework should get an easy A
love her! she is hilarious in lecture. homework every week but super easy. 4 tests which are online all multiple choice and so easy. take her if you can its a piece of cake
Prof Gannon is the best in the psychology department. She makes you actually want to be in class with her. Doesn't allow use of computer to take notes but does allow tablets. She is very nice and genuinely cares about students success.
Take this class. Gannon is the best professor I have ever had. So dedicated to getting her students in an internship, teaches about real life topics, and prepares you for life after college. Not to mention, always keeps it real, is flexible, and is so much fun to talk to and be around. I wish I could take this class over and over again.
she was such a fun professor and made coming to class fun! So interesting and easy going. take her 100%
The textbook isn't necessary, save your money! Almost everything in the power point is in the textbook. Very easy grader, the more you interact in class the better grade you get because she knows you. Overall easy A but attendance is mandatory, and she drops your lowest grade.
Weekly assignments and responses with tests at the end of the month. Lectures are long she covers everything you will be graded on. She is a fair grader and tests are open book/notes.
Very nice teacher who made a very lecture heavy intro course fun. The homework she expects us to do is very thorough and affects your grade more so than exams; almost every homework assignment I submitted was 800-1200 words, but if you buy the textbook (which is around 30 dollars) it makes it very easy. The exams aren't in person and are open note.
ABSOLUTELY TAKE HER TAKE HER. Discusses relevant content geared toward career-readiness and cares about her students. Wants to see you success within your internships and provides resources to find placement if needed. Inspirational and kept it real simple. A couple of short reading assignments and papers, but overall centered around internship.
Best teacher i've ever had so caring actually cared for her students. you can miss 3 classes. Tests are are online open note!! best teacher ever !!!!!
Don't listen to anyone who gave her less than a 5. SHE'S THE BEST. She's so funny and relevant, just love her. Strict about attendance, but you'll look forward to going for the out-of-pocket lectures. You actually will enjoy learning about psychology with her teaching style. Participate! I wish she could teach all of my classes tbh.
I never thought an intro course would be so entertaining. She has such a vibrant personality and will makes you actually laugh with her random comments/stories. All tests are online and easy. You only have to complete chapter assignments and they are simple as well. I wish I could do the semester all over again with her she's wonderful.
The absolute best! While attendance is important for the course, you won't have trouble showing up because her lectures are engaging and she always makes sure to add a personal touch to everything she teaches which is just amazing. As long as you pay attention to lectures and do notes, you should do fine on homework and exams are straightforward!
She was the best! She was very enthusiastic during lecture and provided so many good examples relating to the material. On days of tests there is no class and you take the test online. She always ended class early.
Material felt watered down
I took her this past semester. She's warm and enthusiastic, but she seemed very unprepared. There were assignments on Blackboard that she had no information about, and she frequently mixed up dates, times, and assignment details. She might be better suited for teaching psychology than this class. The workload was heavy.
Took her online. Lectures are prerecorded, but she responds within 48 hours if you email her. You can tell she's really passionate and interested in psychology. Tells you exactly what she expects, and gives great feedback on your work. TAKE HER!
