Reviews of professor Richard Callahan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
[RELI 359 religion and globalization] I wasn't sure about this class at first. Dr. Callahan was great, but some of the reading was hard to understand and I wasn't sure what it had to do with a religious studies class. But everything started to come together and by the end this was one of my favorite classes!

Dr. Callahan is an awesome choice for a Native American religions professor. The class is a mix of discussion and lectures, along with a weekly reading reflection and two papers. He is super invested in the subject matter which makes the class more engaging and interesting. Focuses on tribes near Gonzaga which is cool to learn about.

Callahan is a great teacher. There is daily readings, so if you don't read you will not have any idea of the material talked about in class. As long as you read, you'll have a great understanding of the topics discussed. There are three papers which are fairly short. Lots of small group discussion and a final group project. Take Callahan if you can

He's a very approachable professor and his classes are basically hour-long discussions on the readings. He always makes sure to explain the concepts so everyone understands, and I've learned more in his class then I expected. If you have the chance to take him, do it.

Callahan is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He loves what he is teaching and wants to share that with you. His class can get boring at times when the material is boring but he tries his best to talk to you instead of lecturing for an hour. The course load is light and just a reading each class that you will go over that day.

He is a super sweet professor who puts in the work for his students. He's also very easy going and will likely give you some leeway if you need it. His classes are laid back and you can easily get other classwork done if need be! Overall a really good course and an interesting FYS.
