Genuinely one of my favorite professors I have had so far at BC. Truly cares about his students and makes the class so interesting and meaningful. I learned so much, and it really sticks with you. Cannot recommend enough!!!

She was so great! Always kept class entertaining and was super flexible with deadlines. There are two papers that are extremely easy and two exams that are the same. Sometimes the information she gives isn't super accurate. Overall, it was a fun class, and she's amazing to talk to.

Definitely take this class! Professor Callow wants you to succeed and genuinely cares about her students. There are 3 exams and two papers. Everything is super manageable.
