Comment:

Professor Gallaher had a great passion for what he was teaching (even if it was somewhat "boring" material). I felt he genuinely cared about the students progress and how they were doing each class. Attendance wasn't mandatory but I always wanted to come. He was very helpful and super funny. I would 10/10 recommend his class.

Super easy going. He understands everything on the college basis. He told the class he makes his test for students to have fun. At the beginning of the semester he said attendance was taken every class, but quickly stopped doing that. Super easy, laid back teacher.

Comment:

Dr. Gallaher is a fantastic teacher and truly cares about the success of his students. He gives amazing examples and uses many anecdotes in class in order to help students understand the material. He is most definitely the best English teacher I've met in my collegiate career and I'm glad I had a chance to take Comp. 2 with him.

This class was amazing! Its not your usual 4 or 5 page writing course. He makes things very engaging and different. We pretty much never used the book and the writing assignments were super easy. Also, we practically never stayed the whole class time.

It was a very easy class. All we did was write a couple papers and talk about the book, yet I still left feeling like I had learned something. It was not what I expected for accelerated composition. Highly recommended.

I had Dr. Gallaher for Creative Writing: Poetry and he is awesome to have as a teacher. Really laid back and he made the class really fun and I always looked forward to it and went to every class, though he doesn't care about attendance. I liked him so much, I even made him my advisor. Definitely would recommend any of his creative writing courses.

This guy is crazy fun. He is really funny and I look forward to his class every day. He seriously cracks me up. Also, He's a good teacher. He presents things in way that makes you think differently at them. Bring your book. You'll just go over the chapters. Homework is pretty easy. Lots of in class discussions. I LOVE his class. You will too.

Comment:

Yes, John is a FUN teacher, and he's a great guy to talk to. However, attendance is a huge issue--not his, the class. He doesn't hold his students accountable for attendance in his upper level classes, so a lot of times class is pointless. You could attend every day and get the same grade as a person who came the first and last day.

Comment:

I'm not a fan. The free-willed nature of the professor is liberating, and for that I commend. However, that strength is the seed of his destruction. He offers hardly any challenge for the course, and is evident he isn't taking it seriously. You're better off with other professors.

John is by far the best professor I've had at Northwest, he's not like all the other english department teachers who bore you with pointless material that you can't even understand. He makes the class fun and worth your time!

He tries constantly to not make the class boring or like basic book classes. He loves hearing student opinons because they give a different outlook to it. I recommend it to anyone especially if you don't like taking boring regular literature classes.

He's awsome and entertaining. Dosen't just stick to a certain schedule or course outline. He tries to get you understand and likes to hear his students opinion on the literature.
