Reviews of professor Maryann Gallagher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Came in with no interest in politics and left with a strong interest in IR. She makes you put away technology but her lectures are interesting and very interactive so I ended up preferring it that way. Variety in class (lectures, speakers, group work). Fun class that really challenged me as I had no understanding of IR before. Highly recommend.

In the course we had a midterm, final, played a game called statecraft, wrote a two page essay about our experience in statecraft, and had short memos each week. There aren't many assignments. She assigns lots of readings, but discusses them in class. If you pay attention in class, you will succeed. 3+ EC opportunities. She is amazing!

Professor Gallagher was such a great professor and truly inspirational to helping her students succeed not just in the classroom, but with advice regarding career plans. if you do the readings and come to class, participate and try to understand the content, this should be fun!

Dr. Gallagher is the best professor I have had at UGA. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her enthusiasm is inspirational. Participation counts, but her lectures are fascinating. This is one of my favorite courses I've taken and I highly recommend!

Dr. Gallagher really cares about the content and students, so she is great if you care about IR too. She tries hard to get everyone to participate as much as possible, letting students lead discussions in class which sometimes got boring if it wasn't that relevant, but shes super nice. lot of reading articles but not bad, tests arent that in depth

LOVE Dr. Gallagher. This class has a lecture format with a semester long group project. Her lectures are super interesting and engaging, but she does expect you to know the readings well, and you'll have multiple readings for each class. If you miss class, you miss material, so make sure to attend. Try to talk in class as she expects discussion.

I have taken every single class Gallagher has taught over the past two years if that tells you anything about how much I love and respect her as a professor and a person. I can promise you that if you do the homework/readings and participate, you will have no issues getting good grades in her classes. I promise that you won't regret knowing her.

Very nice professor. Makes an effort to know everybody and is very inviting to help you with issues outside of the class. Do not take this class if you want an easy A. I hate reading and participating, so I did not like this class. If you're motivated, then it's an easy A. Also, lots of extra credit at the end of the semester.
