Reviews of professor Sarah Mccallum

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Refreshingly kind professor! I took a class with her to fulfill a GenEd requirement. She has a knack for engaging her students with interesting conversation. Honestly she may be the only professor I've had who made effort to address students by name. Only one short assignment per week for a T/R class. Definitely take her class! Great orator.

Dr. MacCallum is the best classics prof at UofA. She is so supportive and understands that not everyone is at the same skill level. She really knows her stuff too. If you need to take a language, take Greek or Latin with her. She makes class fun. Stay on top of the assignments/translation tho because there is something every day.

Tried to teach outside her field and experience and argued with the student who had worked professionally in that field that she knew better despite having no experience.

Super nice teacher, willing to go the extra mile if you are. Really nice and really understanding; very interesting class.

She's one of the best Latin teachers I have ever had, and I've only had amazing Latin teachers. Working with others is the best way to translate Latin, and this class especially emphasized that aspect. Regardless of your Latin level, you ended up learning or mastering concepts that you didn't know before. Also, Cicero was tons of fun to read.

Dr. McCallum is truly a gem of a teacher. She is passionate about making sure students have as many resources to succeed in her class as possible, and consistently makes time to meet outside of her regular office hours. There are also many simple extra credit opportunities you can take advantage of, which supplement your learning.
