He gives you his old tests, so all you need is to study from them. Attendance is mandatory to do well in the class. Gives you all the worksheets needed for exams. Do NOT bother with the book.

Comment:
His class for nurses is WAY easier than I expected. His class is pretty boring, but he is actually quite funny. He gives you all of his old tests to study from so you feel totally prepared for every exam. Not bad at all.

You can read ahead if you want to, but it's not necessary because all of his exams are from his notes. He puts photocopies of ALL his previous exams online, USE THEM. Go to tutoring. He doesn't answer questions during class but he helps you with a curve at the end of the semester.

Very helpful and caring professor. He answers every question you have. His tests are NOT hard if you study and understand the material. Tutoring is available. I recommend this class if you are actually interested in learning something useful.

McCallum knows his stuff very thorough but he teaches extremely fast and barely helps you when you have a question. Exams are very difficult so study your brains out!!!!

He's ESSENTIALLY a good teacher, just a hard class. He reminds me of the old man from beauty and the beast.

Comment:
He really does move too fast in his lectures, but class wasn't hard. I liked him. He's funny in a cheesy sorta way. Kinda feel bad for the guy. He gives handouts of his book that he wrote, but DO NOT BUY THE OTHER TEXTBOOK, SERIOUSLY. The book he wrote himself is much better since it actually has what he wants you to know. READ EVERYTHING IN THEM.

Comment:
Organic Chem is a difficult subject but McCallum's class is not difficult. He gives you access to his old exams. STUDY THE OLD EXAMS. The tests in his class are practically the same as the old tests. With some effort on your part to learn the material, studying the old tests, and with his curve, there is no reason not to get a solid grade.

Comment:
To all those who gave Dr. McCallum a bad rating: Seriously? He's the only orgo professor worth taking at this school. I plan on taking him 3 semesters in a row. Yeah, orgo's tough and you'll work hard, but with him it's bearable and presented in a way that actually makes sense. If you do poorly in his class, it's your own fault, not his.

If you want to cinch an F he is the perfect professor for you. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. For your information, do not sit in the front of the class because he spits and smells like rotten eggs.

tests are hard - STUDY his worksheets. he thinks every sentence should have essentially in it and everything is cute. not the best if you have a question during class. will go over an equation for 40 minutes and tell you that you only need to know the thing he said in the last 5 minutes. study hard and you'll get the grade.

Cute old man who always has chalk on his shirt by the end of class. Knows what he's talkin about. Moves to fast in class, by the time ur done writing a problem he's already on the next one. But I like it. DONT bother buying the book. Just study off of his old exams that u can access online n u pass wit at least an A-. Labs go by fast if u have him
