Great lecturer who makes the material enjoyable. Gallucci's class is not too difficult - open-note exams and essays are straightforward if you do the readings. Unstuckstudy AI was a helpful tool for prep alongside the textbook.
EASIEST UPPER DIV GE EVER! Grade is made up of 2 papers (you'll get a high A if you try) & midterm + final (SUPER EASY online MCQ). Never did readings so basically NO HW! SUPER SWEET person & you can contact him for any questions via phone! Zoom lectures are hard to understand but they're NOT NEEDED...even to get an A (>90% don't attend lectures!).
grade 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.
Legend.
Easiest class I have actually ever taken in my life. Midterm (30%), Final (35%), 400 word essay (10%) and 1400 word essay (25%). I honestly didn't watch a single lecture and have done really really well on all of the assignments. And Ralph is a great guy!!
