Reviews of professor Jamall Calloway

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This class was lowkey kinda messy in the best way possible. It was pretty easy to do well and the topics covered were VERY interesting. Professor Calloway is very unique but overall a good professor. Sometimes this class was kinda ridiculous but I feel like thats why alot of us in the class were friends. Possibly converting to voodoo.

I took two classes with Calloway, both of which I loved. He is great at facilitating class discussion, is very understanding with students re work load. I learned a lot in his classes. He does assign a lot of reading and will expect you to participate in class regarding them so reading is a must.

Jamall's class was my favorite class at USD. 3 week course and Jamall was highly understanding of the nature of the environment. Open your mind to understanding the big picture and Jamall will reward you for putting it into words. Regurgitate small summaries and he may ask you to put in a little more effort. Overall excellent lecturer and person

HIGHLY regret taking the class. He's very passionate and has a personality yet prepare to read. The concepts are fairly foreign, I imagine for most. Quizzes are random, read everything.

Do not take this class if you are NOT a good student. The material becomes much easier if you read the assignments and ask questions about parts that were confusing. I think that even Dr. Calloway knew that there was a lot of reading and the class was a bit heavy regarding the topics and only the 3 week time span. Reasonable, engaging, interesting

There are no wrong answers with Dr. Calloway, he just wants you to show that you're thinking critically about the material and want to learn. He was also so gracious during this pandemic. He made attendance non-mandatory and changed the schedule completely to accommodate us. The content of the class is thought-provking and unique, highly recommend!

Reading assignments are super important in the class. Participation goes a long way in his class. He explains the readings well which is great since there were some that were tough. Grading was a bit slow for the assignments, but overall not bad.

Dr. Calloway is very passionate about what he does. He makes it a point that there is no shame in being wrong and is more of a discussion based class/lecture. He assigns A LOT of super dense readings that it is hard to absorb it all. I learned a lot, I did understand the reading when he went over it in class. Would not take again.
