He totally makes this class an easy way to get a GE. Take him, two papers that are one page, just do some of the reading and his tests are online, multiple choice.

One of the best and nicest professors at UCSB. He understands that most students are taking this class for GE reqs so he tries his best to make it stress-free. Very clear grading rubric. The material is interesting. He provides really thorough and helpful study "checklists" that match exactly what shows up on the exams.

Dr. Gallucci is the best professor at UCSB. I really enjoyed his class. He is an amazing lecturer and storyteller. I look forward to the lectures. His grading criteria is clear and he really cares about the student's success. I learned so much about Greek Mythology. I can't wait to take more classes with him. UCSB is very lucky to have him.

Gallucci is very straight forward, very clear, very approachable, and very easy. Lectures can be a bit dry but tests are M/C, papers are super short, and there's no surprises on what he covers. You could probably do just fine if you missed a handful of classes, but I caught them all because they're fun to sit in.

A little dull, often late for class. However, very forgiving and friendly. Deeply interested in his topics. There are better professors in this department from my experience, but his classes can be worthwhile if you're the kind of person that is fine with writing a bit.

May not be an exciting lecturer but he's very sweet and loves his students. This class is just him sitting in front and going through each of the books we are required to read. He is very helpful with the midterm and final. Class website has EVERYTHING you need for studying. Good class for G.E.

Hard class, the lectures are all over the place and don't prepare you for the test. You are expected to have a lot of pointless names/information memorized. I would not recommend this class to anyone.

He is truly the best. Very caring and takes time to listen and give direction and encouragement.

You don't have to attend the class if you read the books. But if you don't read the books, make sure you take notes and attend lecture. All he does is retell the books you read in meticulous detail. But I did not enjoy the class. Its a pretty good class to fill in the literature GE

Going to lecture is useless; he just summarizes what you are supposed to read. Tests aren't that hard, but make sure you know the stories and characters and use his study guide.

Gallucci has became my favorite professor at UCSB! He is amazing!! I had no prior interest in Classics and just took Ancient Epics as a G.E., but now i'm really interested in the subject! Gallucci's lectures and very interesting and clear and his assignments are fair and not overly difficult.

Extremely helpful and interested in students in general. Understanding of student issues and exams are fair.

EASY CLASS!!! He is very helpful and makes it very very easy to get an A. I would take more classes with him. Great way to get rid of lit requirement.

Gallucci is the man. He's super interested in his subject area and seems to know his stuff. Lecture was kind of boring but it doesn't matter, all you have to do is read SparkNotes...

great guy, you really have to try to fail. boring material in my opinion and he tends to just talk for the whole lecture without any power point or anything. It's hard to pay attention for that long. good GE to take though. I barely go to class and just read sparks notes. really nice prof!

SUCH a nice guy! galluci is awesome...

GALLUCCI IS THE MAN!!

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.

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.

If you want a GPA booster and Literature class, TAKE THIS. dont take like Comp Lit or something hard like that. this class is cake, gallucci is the man. the stories are the odyssey, iliad, aeneid and gilgamesh, and theyre actually interesting. plus u already know what theyre about. take this forsure

very easy class if you do the readings

Gallucci is very willing to help and if you go to his office hours he will do a lot to help you out in the class.

study for the tests as they can get pretty specific...lectures are boring beyond belief but you dont need to read, sparknotes should do you fine. papers super easy, go to office hours & he gives you a 100. He's a really cool guy who knows a lot about his subject, he will just put you to sleep at 8am
