Reviews of professor Dana Calhoun

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Take this class if you ever have the chance. She is amazing. She gives you freedom to talk about things you are passionate about. Nothing is super structured and strict. Class is fun and there are good discussions, I learned so much. If you put the work in (she doesn't ask for much) you will be totally fine.

The BEST professor at Pitt! Dr. Calhoun understands students have other classes and hobbies so she is very accommodating and caring. She goes above and beyond for all of her students and takes the time to connect with each and every one of her students. If you need to complete a gen ed, I highly recommend taking it with her because she is great!

I really enjoyed this class, although this was an english class, there was much more discussion than writing. The discussions were very interesting, and we did not have many assignments at all. The in class discussions aren't graded. The assignments are very unique and you can really put yourself into them. Pretty easy class, one of my favorites.

Had for ENGCMP0212 and I LOVED it. Dana was the most respectful, caring and funny professor I've ever had. She made the class fun, while also teaching us very important lessons and material. Please take this class if you get the chance. It will be worth it!

Genuinely kind and cares about everyone doing well. Understanding and values students' mental health which is reflected in a genuinely lighter course load compared to other professors.

The BEST professor for freshman year composition classes here at Pitt. She is amazing and so thoughtful and caring. I cant say enough good things about her. She really allows you to write and express yourself without judgment. I really learned a lot from this class, take it if you can!

Dr. Calhoun is very accommodating and flexible with deadlines, religious holidays, illnesses, etc, as long as you submit your work eventually. If you enjoy talking about pop culture, you will find this class fun and learn different perspectives about it in the digital space. Our final project was on Minecraft. A very lighthearted, manageable class.
