Reviews of professor Jamall Calloway

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
My favorite professor I had at USD. Had him for a 3 week intersession course remotely, assigns a lot of reading but he really listens to your feedback and doesn't mind modifying the reading schedule. The readings are very dense but he does an amazing job explaining them makes think critically and challenge your own beliefs Great Professor!!

This class was so unorganized and frustrating. He's passionate about the subject which is great, but you never know what you're gonna get. I had buy like 6 books. Make sure you read everything because the quizzes and exams are just so random.

DO NOT TAKE HIM. Took a 3 week course, didn't receive a SINGLE grade until final grades were to be posted 4 DAYS LATER. Literally scorch-earthed my first exam at 5/25 points. Only reason I got a D+ is due to the other 2 exams, yes only 2. No flexibility to do make up or recover if found in the pit. Only his answers are right. Avoid at all costs.

Dr. Calloways classes are very hard, but worth it. If you are just looking for an easy class for a requirement I would not recommend his class. But I found his class very interesting l, rewarding, and his insights and class discussions very engaging. You must do all the reading and show up to every class.

very tough grader. the only answers he accepts are his own answers. offers no free thinking. grades very unforgiving. gave us a 6 page midterm and only 24 hours to do it within 5 different books. young professor with a lot to learn about students. LOTS OF READING. ridiculous pop quizes.

Assigns a lot of work but makes class very interesting. At the end of the semester, you'll surely learn a lot. No tests, a few pop quizzes, 3 or 4 papers. A ton of reading. Good learning environment

If you like professors who are organized with their lectures and classes, please do NOT take this teacher. He assigns really long and tedious readings - and when our class complained he just said, "I have to read them two or three times to understand them too." If an article is difficult for a teacher, 3 of them each class is way too hard for us.

Class consists of LONG readings daily followed by in class review of reading and supplementary info. Graded on an essay, a project, several quizzes and two exams. Includes pop quizzes. Readings are dense and complicated. Professor is kind and passionate about class but will not "go easy" on you. Quizzes and exams require close reading and studying.

This guy was greta. I sit here writing this 3 years after I took his class. I graduated and looked up his name. He is a great professor and you will learn things from him. The fact that I remember his name and some of the things I learned 3 years ago tells you something. Take him if you're up for a challenge of learning.
