I am currently taking Gallucci's Classics 37 class and he is a Highly-qualified professor with a true desire to see his students succeed academically. His office hours are helpful and his ability to clarify any question demonstrate his qualifications as an astounding Professor.

Gallucci is a great ambassador to the Classics department. My fave Prof at UCSB. This guy knows how to relate to students and he WILL help you if he sees that you're willing to do the work and you're serious about it.

worst professor I've had so far. his lectures are all over the place, talks about one thing then ends up on another topic.

He is very caring and geniunely cares about his students. Did not expect this from a college prof.

Very interested in his own research and material, but lectures are boring and go on tangents. Can miss many lectures because he repeats the same stuff. However, tests don't draw from what he emphasizes in lecture. One 5-page paper, worth little. Good amount of reading. Sometimes lecture conflicts with reading; not often on test anyway.

Gallucci is such a BORING lecturer. He speaks in parentheses, with no enthusiasm, it was impossible not to get distracted. The topic is interesting, I just wish I took the class with someone else. Crowd in lecture was skim. I don't blame them. He was painful to listen to. He made me dread a class I normally would have LOVED. LECTURE WAS SO BORING!

Friendly professor, knows his stuff. Lectures however, are completely pointless as all he does is stand at the front and mumble. Going to lecture is a waste of time, just read the assigned readings, attend section (also pointless but they give quizzes) and you'll get an A. This class offers probably the easiest Literature GE you can get at UCSB.

Getting an A in this class is very likely as long as you attend lecture. At times it's hard to understand what he's saying since he mumbles and speaks low so sit in the front. He will most likely let you crash the class if you need to since he is very understanding.

Dr. Gallucci is awesome! He is extremely helpful, considerate, intelligent, and a great professor!

Gallucci is a great professor and makes it super easy to get an A. Tests come STRAIGHT from lecture -- assigned reading is merely supplemental. Tests are simple and straightforward, no tricks: if you attend class and pay attention, you'll get an A. He wants his students to succeed. Even holds his own review session! Nice guy, great professor.

He's really chill.

This class was pretty interesting. I recommend bringing a laptop to this class and type EVERYTHING he says, because it will appear on the midterm and final. He repeats himself a lot though which is nice, because you never it is important. I only read the plays, not the textbook- and I was sooo close to pulling an A-. Tricky final- so study study!

Professor Gallucci is one of the best here at UCSB. I was about to give up on Greek, but with his help I'm now reading Plato and loving it. Very approachable and willing to help. Lots of handouts and quizzes, but I feel as a result(wste) my Greek is much stronger!

Professor Gallucci is very knowledgeable about Greek civilization however he does not present it in an interesting manner. It's hard to keep up with him during lecture because he talks about so many things its hard to figure out what is most significant to wright down.Oh and DONT take this class if you have ADD, you WONT pay attention.

Gallucci ruined any interest I could have had in the class. A boring lecturer, he stares somewhere in the back of the room and thinks aloud to himself as his lecture. I fell asleep often in class and the textbook was confusing with a superfluous writing style. This class could have been a lot more interesting.

This class was EXTREMELY boring. And rather difficult. I showed up to almost every lecture and studied like crazy yet i still ended up with a D in it. I'm an graduation senior, a lower division class should not be this difficult. The material we were going to be tested on was also vague and almost completely irrelevant to the reading

A good teacher but too repetitive. Very interesting subject but be sure to go to lecture because it's a good supplement for the readings.

Professor was very helpful, willing to talk to you. Actually lead the study group before exams rather than handing it off to a TA. Would definitely take another class from him.

great guy

Great course in Greek mythology. Discussion seems kind of pointless but lectures are important for the tests. Gallucci has a genuine interest in the success of his students and doesn't employ any tricks on the tests. Shows lots of videos in class. If you slack off too much it's not an easy A.

he is SOOOO NICE. i love that he is genuinely interested in helping the students. if you go to class and pay attention you will ace all the tests. i definitely want to take more classes with him. the only reason some students may not like him is because he lectures from a podium with no power point or visuals whatsoever and it's hard to pay attn.

Gallucci is the man. He is a great guy and his class is pretty easy. I definately would take another class from him.

he's a good guy... Very interesting class...I recomend it to anyone!! easy too, hardly had to study.
