Comment:

This was my third time taking prof Cannon, and I had no issues. Put in the work, and you'll get the grade you desire. It's an upper division course, she wants you to produce university level content. Quizzes/ hw easy, be through. Exams- tougher than quizzes but simplistic. Two papers- give yourself ample time to revise, their difficult/ lengthy.

She is a tough grader and really makes you work for your grade. I would not recommend taking this class if you are not willing to read the textbook and do all the assignments.

Comment:

Do not take this class with her! I took it online and you are not allowed to email her or she will drop your grade. Her lectures are ridiculously unclear and you have to practically wing every assignment and hope that is what she wants. Heavy work load for minimal directions. There are 2 papers due at the end of the semester, with no directions.

Comment:

She's very unclear when it comes to a lot of her assignments, labs have no correlation to what we are learning, THE ONLY EXTRA CREDIT is to BUY HER BOOK SHE WROTE. This is the hardest, most confusing class I have ever taken. DO NOT TAKE HER.

Professor is very tough grader. She doesn't work with you, regardless of the situation. Stay away from this professor if you want to pass the class.

Being an online class, I learned a lot through her powerpoints. There are quizzes on a weekly bases, based off of her powerpoints. There are three exams, some quiz questions are on the exam, so pay attention. Discussion boards are basic and simplistic just do them and reply and you'll get your points. Take this class!

Super hard professor. Took her online for Psyc 100 and she is a tough grader! She grades way to hard and does not make time to meet with students also be careful if you ask a question because all she will say it read the Syllabus

Super easy class. Literally just discussion posts, read the book, easy quizzes. Tests have questions from the quizzes so pretty easy. Other from that it's a straightforward class. It is more self taught with hardly any professor participation.

Comment:

I took this class online and it was definitely hard work. I thought this class would be fun because I took a similar class in high school and loved it but I was wrong. She would grade the discussion boards harder than she should.I kept getting Ds on the tests even though I saw most of the questions and answers on quizelt

Comment:

I cant speak about her actual classes, but I took her online course and I completely 100% regret registering for it. She absolutely does not care about her students and is very rude. Her tests also do not mirror her lectures or study guides. The content itself is interesting, but do yourself a favor and search for a better professor.

Comment:

For online class, only uses powerpoints from the publisher. Not accessible. Warns you only to email if it is important. Will not respond to emails if you have " attitude." Quizzes come straight from publisher- so easy. Midterms much harder. Little effort on the instructor's part. Must buy her book for extra credit. Not worth it!

Comment:

The tests are 100 questions each, and there are 3. There are 4 papers in APA format that aren't too hard if you try. She gives you an outline on how to write in APA and I literally just did what it said. Also, once you get a good grade just change the information and keep the wording. Thats what I did and got A's on 3 out of 4 papers.

I suppose i should preface this with the fact that i am 29 years old, so this is from a much different perspective than someone straight out of highschool. Cari is an awesome professor! She does her job and shes well versed in the field. She will treat you like an adult, Cari is very real world. Her workload and grading is very fair.

I took her online psychology 157 class during intercession. Many of the quiz questions were on the test so I found it fairly easy. You just have to listen to the lectures and be well organized.

If you want a professor who will hold your hand, take a hike. I took 219 right before transferring to UCI and worked my butt off for my A. I had to take research methods and an upper division writing class again at UCI and was able to breeze through them thanks to what I learned in Cari's class. Show up to class, do your work and you're good to go.

Lectures were off topic, exams were online open book but generally hard considering she doesn't cover material thoroughly if at all. Save yourself the time and take a different professor. She is very unapproachable to top it off.

Comment:

Really enjoy this class! The professor is hilarious regardless of her sometimes inappropriate jokes. She legitimately makes the entire class crack up laughing majority of the time (I've actually shed tears from laughing so hard). She goes a bit off topic sometimes but ties her stories back into the lesson. Love this class and would recommend it!

Comment:

Dr. Cannon is a great professor. She may go off topic with stories a lot but plenty of her stories actually related to the subject. Her class is for students who are ready to be adults, not for high school students expecting her to hold their hand. Read, study, go to class, and pay attention - exams and quizzes will be easy if you do!

Comment:

Her lectures are comparable to comedy hour, she's hilarious; however, I walked out of that class knowing just as much as I did when I walked in. The tests are impossibly difficult, and this is coming from someone who actually reads and studies the textbook, she expects way too much out of what little she gives you.

Comment:

Quizzes & discussion boards are easy points. However, she is unresponsive to emails re: technical problems with the website & assignments. She has zero interest in teaching and is by far the RUDEST college instructor I've ever had. Exams consist of random questions from the textbook publisher, contrary to the syllabus, and include skipped chapters.
