I have taken Professor Callacis 201 and 600 course and she is absolutely one of my favorite Professors. She cares about her students, and really wants you to learn, putting an emphasis on that more so then grades. She is so well versed in the subjects she teaches. Would recommend her to any student who is looking for an amazing professor!

She is very caring about her work, and it really shows in her lectures. She is always avalable outside of class, and is willing to and gives great feedback. Would definitely recommend her African-Decolonization class for any history majors looking for a Historians Craft 201 credit.

Professor was nice and passionate on the subject. Lecture was almost two hours long. Weekly readings/discussion posts and the exams are all projects, which was nice because it left a lot of room for creativity. Requires a lot of time out of class. If you don't like project based/discussion based classes that involve lots of talking, don't take it.

I loved Prof Callaci. The classroom environment was a calm environment and I was never made to feel nervous or embarrassed when asking a question, extension, or extra help. This course allows for lots of one on one help and a tightknit group with the other students. It is VERY project heavy however, and is almost all discussions.
