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.
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.
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.
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!
His lectures are unorganized, he relies on films, and his voice expresses no passion for this field of study. It was difficult to find the will to go to class each morning. Do yourself a favor and wait for Athanassakis.
This was the easiest class that I've ever taken in college. In fact, it was so easy that I even got an A+. I took "Ancient Epic" before taking "Greek Mythology" and the tests were almost identical. If you do the reading (even just spark notes) and go to lecture you can easily get an A.
Boring as hell. Grade is based on tests, so study for them. Easy to get a good grade though.
If you are a visual learner, then his lectures are not for you. He uses a small amount of visual aid. However, he is always around the Classics dept. if you need help. He's a nice man and very bright. I learned a lot. Oh, one last thing...during lecture, right down EVERYTHING he says.
He was a cool prof and lecture wasn't too bad. Some days were better than others, but he gave MC tests for the midterm and final, and the study guides for thoses helped a lot. Essays are very doable too. I recommend Galluci.
Gallucci's class is definitely boring beyond belief. His multiple choice miderm and final exams are pretty easy, although he throws some questions in there that no one has a clue about. Gallucci is a really cool guy though, and is easy to talk to.
Boring class. I failed the midterm and barely passed the final, but he let me write an essay for extra credit to get a Pass.
Material is very dry...most people don't even go, but the exams are multiple choice and there are sometimes writing sections. Graded fairly, lecture is boring and scattered in presentation
the grading is pretty easy but there is soooo much reading and he blabbers on and on with no specific point and does no prenunciate so it is defficult to understand the greek and roman names
Dr. G is DA BOMB! I see him as a mentor figure who got me into Classics and he's always willing to help me. Thanks a lot!
As easy as a UC can get. Boring lectures, but a nice guy nonetheless
