Reviews of professor Collin Callahan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
He's a super chill guy and cares about his students. Lots of reading, but he's super flexible when it comes to assignments. 3 papers & weekly "presentations" which really are just a group offering of opinions and analysis of the story. Only downfall was there was no real outline for expectations on papers, which may have been a good thing actually?

He made a simple English II class a surprisingly fruitful experience. I liked his lectures because the topics discussed serve as good exposure to emotions frequently buried under the mundanity of life. He is an individual who wants to impact lives through the use of independent music, powerful poetry, and short films. Prof. Callahan is a gem!

Professor Callahan is a great teacher. He was really flexible with attendance during covid and encourages group work. The stories he picks are interesting and not the required reading type so they were more fun to read and discuss. There are only like four grades, three of which are essays but he's helpful with all of them and doesn't grade hard.

I took this as a 5 week summer class and it was the biggest mistake of my life. There was way too much going on and I struggled to keep up. There were 3 papers and weekly homework AND weekly group presentations. This class burnt me out, but he is a nice guy. He just did not know what he was doing. I assume that his regular classes are fine.

Dr.Callahan is such a great teacher and person. His class is super easy but also helps build on a variety of skills. I would say he's an easy grader but leaves lots of feedback on how to improve. A few in class assignments and department mandated assignments you have in all ENC 2135 classes. Really understanding and cares about his students.
