Dr. Gallucci is a great guy - he knows his stuff, and he wants nothing more than to have fun teaching that stuff to others, and watching them succeed. Most likely, his classes are so easy because he wants them to be - he's a great guy.
All you need to have is a love and interest in the classics, read the meaterial and go to lecture and you can get an A or B
Gallucci is awesome as long as you go to class. You'll barely have to read
He knows the material, but he's a very bad speaker. His lectures are meandering and monotone. Constantly saying "uhh" in mid sentence. His lectures just made everything more confusing.
He's a cool guy-has a sense of humor. Lots of reading, but it's not difficult. Don't slack, read and go to class when you can. You can pull off an A with some B effort.
Easy class, just got to do the readings.
Terrible class, terrible lectures. Worst professor ever.

No Powerpoint, lectures off the top of his head. Can be extremely boring but take notes cuz test material comes more from lecture than from the book. He is very straightforward and wants everyone to succeed. Sheer memorization except for the two 2pg. papers. Stay awake & take notes and you'll get a good grade.
GALLUCCI IS THE MAN!!
Do you remember the professor played by Robin Williams in "Dead Poets society"? That's Professor Gallucci in a nutshell. He takes the literature of the past, and makes it both come alive. He inspires the best in his students, an takes a active interest in their lives. Friendly, fun, and animated, and draws on his vast knowledge of Near East.
Great professor! It's always refreshing to study from someone who: 1)knows what he is talking about backwards and forwards, 2)Is interesting, 3)is always avaiable to help out outside of class. If you show any dedication to his material at all, he will bend over backwards to help you do your very best in his classes. Best professor in Classics!
Outstanding Professor. I have taken a class from this guy almost every quarter that I was at UCSB. No plastic powerpoint B.S., just an engaging lecture taught by a very knowlegeable prof. Interesting and challenging. Always available outside class. Take at least one class from Galllucci while your @ UCSB.
He wants you to do well in his class but don't take it for granted. Just do the readings and go to lecture and you'll be fine.
Great professor. The best thing about him is that he is easily available to help you outside of class. When you go into the office hours of some professors, you get the feeling that you're bothering them. Not the case here.
One of the best profs at SB. NO POWERPOINT, just interesting lectures. If you do the reading (and I do mean sparknotes, plus the reader) you will get a B or A. His tests are fair and everything is very straightforward. A great way to fulfill lit req and immerse yourself in interesting material. Also, the videos are funny and informative!
Professor Gallucci is a wonderful professor who really tries to engage the students and is very helpful. He is very knowledgeable and accessible in office hours. A thoroughly enjoyable class with great material- its an intro to all about heroes and myth from ancient greece. The reading is fun and entertaining and you will do well if you keep up!
He is a good teacher, he knows his stuff, and he is a really nice man too. He is more than willing to help...go to office hours! He just lectures (no notes on overhead), but is very good at it...pay attention and you will learn what you need to know and get a lot out of the class.
Gallucci is one of the most helpful professors I have encountered so far. His lecture style is awesome (NO powerpoint; he has every single aspect of his subject memorized). To some his lecture style is boring because they are used to visual aid. Take this class if you enjoy a class in which the requirements are made clear and the material is easy.
Well, poor gallucci, he is sort of boring. He told one joke all year, but no one laughed because no one expected it. I think that its a class worth taking, he knows his stuff and is a really nice guy. However, he is just sort of dry.
An awesome professor. He knows everything you could imagine about the subject, and he is always helpful in office hours. You can get a good grade by going to lecture and doing the reading. Highly recommend this professor!
