so easy- final and midterm multiple choice and true/false questions online. Easiest 400 word essay. Lectures were uninteresting and unhelpful- often a bit rambly- but open note and book tests made this class so easy
Loved this class. Super easy. Graded on 1 midterm, a 400 word essay, and a final. Final and midterms were super easy (both online). Essay was basically graded on completion. Zoom lectures were honestly not useful but he was very caring.
Gallucci taught all my classes for FSSP. He is a lovely man and wants his students to succeed; class40 is extremely streamlined. That said he is very low-energy, and you will want to fall asleep in his class. Everything he discusses is in the textbook; as long as you read the textbook, you will get an A. I do not recommend taking Class99 with him.
Gallucci is a nice and pretty laid back professor. Just make sure you keep up with your readings. He offers extra credit. Make sure you sit up front he is a little quiet when he speaks.
Dr. Gallucci is my favorite professor at UCSB. The best lecturer! Shame on the reviewer below who mentioned that they didn't attend lecture. If they actually went to class they would appreciate how great and interesting Dr. Gallucci's lectures are. He inspired me to take more classics courses. He is kind and caring too and very dedicated.
Professor Gallucci is an excellent professor who is knowledgeable in what he teaches. It is an easy course, as long as, you show up to lecture and take notes (p.s try not to fall asleep!). The final and midterm were straightforward, as well as, majority of it was on the study guides (which I recommend filling out).
He has a particular lecture style that many people will not like. He is very monotonous but, is obviously a professor who cares about his students. Participation in section is important for credit.
Very boring during lectures but very easy midterm and final. This may be because it was online and therefore open book/note, but overall this class was a super easy A. The readings he assigned were pretty interesting, and you definitely did not have to pay close attention to the lectures to get a good grade.
Took this course during session B of M20. The lectures were quite boring, but the class itself is easy. The rubrics and expectations were clearly defined. Gallucci's biggest flaw is that he doesn't usually check zoom so if he's accidentally muted, he'll stay that way until a TA gets ahold of him... which admittedly has happened a few times.
Gucci Gallucci is not the most entertaining professor, but he is a good man and is very passionate about Greek Myth. Overall, the class was an easy A.
So. Boring. I was interested in Greek Mythology but Gallucci sucked all the life out of it. I fell asleep almost every lecture, could not pay attention to him. Multiple choice exams with comprehensive study guides, weekly quizzes in section, minimal writing, extra credit opportunities, overall easy A if you read the textbook
I had Gallucci for Summer 2019. Lectures were unorganized and contained scattered material. Do the reading, attend section, and go to the review sessions the night before each test and you'll be fine.
His lectures are pretty boring but he basically goes over the reading so pay attention. He does review study sessions before the midterm and final which are helpful. You do have to write a book review. Extra credit is available. The midterm and final were m/c and t/f and werent difficult. Going over notes help help and quizlet, just know stories.
Pretty boring lecturer but if you do the reading youll be fine.
I love Gallucci! I wouldnt necessarily agree that hes boring, because hes not. He just tends to have a very low, monotone mumble while teaching. Pro-tip (from someone whos hadnt him for three classes): The readings guide his lectures so hes very easy to follow along if you read + then its easier to know when to zone out when he tangents.
Yeah, the class is easy and while some people find Greek Mythology more interesting than I do, I often literally have no idea what the man is saying and I find it impossible to follow the stories when he tells them. It's almost like they paid him to make it as boring as possible and mumble and lose his train of thought. Ridiculous how bad he is.
Took during summer session. Lectures were very boring and I fell asleep quite a bit. If you read or watch videos about the stories (most of which you may have already known) you'll do fine. He gave 2 extra credit opportunities (book report & museum trip). Weekly quizzes, section homework/attendance, a midterm, final exam, and a final paper.
Gucci Gallucci, GOAT of UCSB
took him over the summer during fssp. going to lecture? prepare to nap. i never bought the textbooks and still managed to pass the class. very nice professor, but very dry lectures. you can probably study the night before and still pass the tests! pretty easy tests and papers.
Easy if you do the readings and study for at least a day per test
Professor Gallucci is really nice, but his lectures are super boring. I tried so hard to pay attention but I could not listen to him. Maybe sitting in the front might help. The class was really easy. Honestly if you do all the readings you don't even have to go to lecture. Gives a decent amount of extra-credit too!
Lectures are pretty boring, but the content and tests are easy. Gallucci is a nice guy
Easiest course at the university. Either pay attention to the lectures or crack open the textbook. Your grade consists of one paper (1000 words), a midterm, a final, weekly quizzes and section attendance. There are 2 extra credit opportunities too. Gallucci is a bit dry but the class is interesting.
He's a very knowledgeable professor, though his lectures can feel a little bit dry, especially four days per week in a row as during FSSP. He cares about his students about as much as possible though and getting an A is really easy if you go to his review session and follow the checklists and vocabulary.
