The study of quasinormal modes (QNMs) in various black hole backgrounds has been done for spin-0, 1/2, 1, 2 particles. In this talk we will investigate the possible QNMs for spin-3/2 particles in Schwarzchild and Reissner-Nordstrom backgrounds, focusing on N-dimensional Schwarszchild black holes. We will use both the Asymmetric Iterative Method (AIM) and the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation in order to calculate these allowed QNMs.
