Reviews of professor Richard Callahan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He's super sweet, and you can tell he cares about the students. He has open discussions in class about things we read as homework. And he's very helpful with whatever you need. He's a new professor to Gonzaga but he fits in!

You will have to read a bit in this class but it is very important and useful information (I say this as a history/ poli-sci major). If you do that, this class is easy. You also have to make two or three thought-out posts on Discussion Board most weeks, and do a short presentation on something in the news relating to the class. Great professor.

Professor Callahan is a sweet guy. He's passionate about what he teaches and he cares about students' success. His lectures could get very boring and unusually could work on other homework. There was reading every day before class and had to complete a weekly journal every week. There are a couple of writing assignments but they aren't that bad.

He seems very passionate about what he teaches. I don't like the class itself but Dr. Callahan is a very nice, approachable, and caring professor. He knows what he is doing and what he's teaching.

This class was not at all what I was hoping it would be. Your "learning" is entirely dependent on your independent readings outside of class and then class discussions that are not moderated well at all. On top of that, Dr. Callahan does not offer any feedback on why he grades the way that he does, and his grading seems inconsistent.

Callahan is a pretty nice guy and is a solid choice for native American studies. He's engaging and clear with his instructions and grading. He's pretty reasonable and is super flexible and accessible outside of class. Lectures are interesting and the work isn't too bad for this class. I'd recommend

Must rent or buy two books, not too expensive. This course is super useful for all Gonzaga students. Important to know the history of the land we are on. Class is not too difficult. Show up, try to participate. Two small written assignments, not graded harsh at all. Final paper option was cool because it wasn't a normal essay. Overall great!

Callahan is a really good professor and the class is super interesting. 1 short essay and 1 final longer essay. No tests quizzes or assignments, except for reading every class. Readings are interesting and not long. Hes really good at explaining and running discussion, lots of videos watched during class. WOULD recommend for world religion cred!

Dr. Callahan is awesome! You can tell he cares a lot about what he's teaching. I learned a lot from him, and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to take an interesting, informative, and relatively easy religion class.
