Collegegrade was just two 400-word essays, a midterm and final which were all open note/book. lots of reading if you actually read the texts he assigns. essays are basically 100% if you just do them. his classes fill up super-quick, understandably why.
Easy GE. The lectures were boring you don't need to go to do well. There were two short essays, a midterm (online), and a final (online). Great class overall.
This class was very easy to follow, and not difficult at all. Gallucci gives a lot of prep for the midterm and exam. Midterm and exam is based heavily on what was discussed in lecture and some readings. Overall, I would take him again.
Classics 20A was great. Dr. Gallucci is a great lecturer. The reading material was very interesting from Sansone, Iliad, Odyssey, tragedies and comedies. Dr. Gallucci explains the material well and I enjoyed his lectures. Agree with the other reviews, he is the best professor at UCSB. He makes the material enjoyable and is very caring and kind.
