Legend.

super easy class, but extremely boring and disorganized lectures. There are a lot of required readings but you do not need many of them for exams. Class is graded on 2 essays, a midterm, and final. The essays are 600 words and if you do it you get an A. Exams are on arbitrary questions but were online and open book.

This professor is the worst I've ever had at UCSB. His lectures are incredibly boring and hard to follow, his material is unorganized and poorly planned, and he does not engage or communicate with students. His class is incredibly easy, and without attending a single lecture or doing any readings I got an A?! This quality of education is ridiculous

TBH, Dr. Gallucci's lectures are not that exciting, so try your best to keep pace with his lectures and not to fall asleep! His reading is very important and tested in both exams. However, he gives fair exams and an extra credit assignment after the final. Will take him again if he teaches other classics courses.

Gallucci is not perfect lecturer, so reading is the key to this course. He assigned a lot of reading such as Starr and Classics in Translation. Keep reading and pay special attention to Starr book. Passages in CiT such as Haunting House and Aeneid are also important. Overall, his course is amazing. His review sheet also helps a lot.

SO FIRE Gallucci was literally the GOAT. He's retiring at the end of this school year, but for anyone looking to take one of his courses in spring quarter, totally do it! I had him for Ancient Greeks online and it was super chill, it's definitely doable to really well on the midterm, final, and both essays for SURE
