Didn't go to any lectures and got an A. Midterm and final were very easy. Article summaries graded on completion. I did have to read the book for the book review but got 100% with not too much effort so it was also probably graded on completion. Proofread your work, he takes off points for spelling/grammar. Would recommend, he's a very nice guy.
Easy A class, but there's interesting material! You won't have to show up to lectures for an A, and the exams are pretty simple. Super nice guy, and you won't regret taking the class :)
Professor Gallucci appears to be a very nice person, but his lectures are extremely difficult to follow along and take notes on. Despite this, the material is very easy and attending lectures was optional. Your grade will consist of two papers, a midterm, and a final exam.
Profesor Gallucci is a great professor! Attend class & take notes and youll be sure to pass. Midterm & final were easy. You have to write two one page papers that are really easy and he is clear with his grading structure.
Gallucci understands that his students are just there for a gen ed, so he makes it easy. He's pretty much incoherent during lectures, but it doesn't really matter. Just go over the study guide and cram for a day or two before the midterm and final, and you'll get an easy A. Take a class with Gallucci if you want an easy gen ed.
Dr. Gallucci's course examining the historicity of the Trojan War enriched my memories of the visit I took to Turkey this past summer. The course fulfills both the literature GE area and a writing requirement, and Dr. Gallucci makes it clear that an A is achievable with minimal effort -- graded based on 2 papers, 2 exams, and 8 article summaries.
Gucci Gallucci. His lectures can be boring sometimes but he is always willing to take questions. Tests are fairly easy. He knows that his class is mostly for students getting a G.E. credit so he just expects his students do have a general understanding of the course, nothing extreme like other professors.
Took him for INT 95A during Summer 2019. It was an easy class, though quite boring. There are usually guest speakers, but they weren't much better.
Only had him for 2 1/2 weeks before he took a sudden sick leave. Terrible, boring lecturer and has no clear organization. Insultingly easy A. It's gonna be hard not to fall asleep in class
Gallucci is an angel. Lectures can get boring and very easy to zone out. Follow study guides and go to study sessions. Midterm and final are multiple choice, two one page essays, and a few extra credit opportunities. Easy A, but also easy to neglect. Either do the readings or go to lecture, but exams are based heavily on lecture.
literally the most boring man on earth. he lectures with no slides and has the most monotone voice in the world so you can't tell what's important. class isn't mandatory so there is no incentive to go. tests aren't hard (but they're long) if you know the basics but you can't cram the night before. 2 essays that everyone gets 100% on which is nice
The undisputed GOAT of professors. Highly reccomend taking his class if you're looking to have a good time.
Ralph Gallucci is the greatest professor I have ever had. Please take his classes if you can.
He gets very grumpy when people try to leave lecture early in INT 95
This class was pointless but I mean easy A. Future FSSP sweeties, I am so sorry
Easiest professor at UCSB by far. Midterm and final are straightforward. Gives ALOT of extra credit. Going to his office hours for paper reading will give you an A. TAKE HIM if you ever get the chance.
he's a gem. super easy, super nice if you go to office hours. always wants students to be more involved
Boring lectures but you don't have to go. Just show up for the few before the midterm/final and you'll be good to go. Two one-page essays that are worth 10% and he gives 10/10 on almost every paper. He gives study guides for tests, just study those and it's an easy A. Never read for this class either. No final because of the mudslides. Nice guy too
Gallucci is awesome. Lectures can be boring, but the guy knows his stuff. Definitely don't purchase the textbooks, I never opened them once and got an A. Tons of extra credit opportunities. I didn't have to take the final because of the fires and chose my midterm score as my final grade, so I can't speak for the final, but the midterm was easy.
Take this if you want an easy A, not if you want to learn. There are short lists of certain things you need to memorize but it's simple if you catch some of the few lecture slides he puts up briefly. Tests are multiple choice, super easy if you have a general grasp of the material & common sense. Boring lecturer & flaky during office hours.
Attend all class, do all the essays. They break down all the requirements of the class you need to get an A. It is very easy to slip up on the total requirements for the course, so always ask for clarification. If you miss too much class, just take it P/NP. FSSP was a great experience, the biggest reason not to do it is the cost.
Literally showed up Syllabus day, Midterm, and Final. Ended up getting a B+. 2 papers, midterm, final. His tests are all multiple choice. Fairly easy material if you do the reading.
Class was boring. Textbook was expensive but you needed the pictures inside for tests. This class was such a drag, but if you study the tests are doable and the extra credit is about 10%. Can't hate him though because he gave me an A for talking to him and playing a sport. His classes are usually easy As but this one was slightly harder. slightly
Easy yet interesting class, Lectures/reading aren't necessary. Just read the study guide and watch the in-class movies.
