What a wonderful professor! Professor Gallagher is truly passionate about what he is teaching. Our seminar focused on Sodom in literature and culture, a rare subject in general. But Professor Gallagher makes it wonderfully intriguing and interesting. We had one main assignment--a 10-page paper due at the end of the quarter. And while challenging, it was definitely a worthwhile experiences. He utilizes his seminar to do research, which is wonderful, because he gives all students an equal playing field in terms of opinions. Ended up receiving an A in the class, though I didn't feel like I deserved it. Again, wonderful professor in a small class setting, easily approachable, and very supportive. Take him. One of the best professors in the English department.

Love this professor!!! He knows so much! His interpretations are so different from the usual ones given, it's incredible. He grades very fairly and he believes students should put time and enough effort in papers to do well. I was worried about his grading, but ended up doing great. He is very encouraging and will help you with paper topics. I'm taking him again because he is so awesome. He is willing to help on papers, and he is very understanding when you aren't good at something. His lectures are fun--he makes them interesting by providing pictures and not just pages of monotonous writing. He's so passionate about literature it makes me love literature so much. It would be a sin not to take him. TAKE HIM!! You won't regret it!!!
