By far the worst professor at ucsb. Lectures are boring and he goes too fast. No one ever attended lecture so he gave extra cred to those who did. Failed half of the class, no exaggeration, out of spite. Material is hard to begin with, but Mack made it worse. Some people are not meant to teach, certainly NOT Mack.

Worst prof ever. Unclear, made it harder than necessary. He jsut wanted you to know he was smart and you were not. I took the class with another professor and got an A- with the same work put in. The second time I took the class, I didn't even recognize the material because it was presented in a useful way. Drop the class with Galloway.

The class was easy in CLAS (Binh is the BEST CLAS tutor ever). But it was horrible in class. Lecture was always empty, he never really explained anything clearly and he actually snuck in stuff not covered in class for the final.

So, I was the guy who made the comment bellow a while back. (See: "cesspool"). I just wanted to apologize to professor Galloway, the reason he must be so mad is that he makes NO money! He makes less than $55k A YEAR! lol. link: http://www.collegiatetimes.com/databases/salaries/university-of-california-santa-barbara?name=galloway

If anyone important from the PSTAT department (Prof Wang, Prof Feldman, etc.) ever reads this, please listen to this honor student's plea: SEND GALLOWAY BACK TO FLORIDA (or whatever cesspool he was spawned from)! I've talked to other Statistics professors and my statistics TAs and they refuse to contradict me when I speak ill of him. UCSB's plague.

why are we paying for this total loser to "lecture" to an empty room 3 times a week? seriously WORST professor at UCSB. Incredibly unreceptive- took me weeks to correct a clerical error in my grade because he simply didn't want to have to deal with it - AVOID HIM LIKE THE PLAGUE

power points are straight forward. explanations are pretty clear. not too much homework. tests come from practice tests. pretty friendly.

Not too bad. Would have done alot better if I did the homework, since many of the quizzes and tests almost mirror the topics covered in the homework. Lectures are kind of boring, but important to go to because some of the examples used are found in the homework and tests. Good professor, nice person.

Professor was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable on the subjects presented throughout the course. As long as you GO TO OFFICE HOURS IF ANY TOPICS ARE UNCLEAR and COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE HOMEWORK this class is entirely manageable. So, make sure you DO THE HOMEWORK!

Worst professor ever. He explained concepts in a manner that made it EXTREMELY difficult to understand. I learned more from videos off Youtube than I did from this prof. Avoid if possible!

He did not post the hw solutions until AFTER the weekly quiz/assig because he said that's how u learn, by struggling (ya right). He gave us 2 days to study for the final because he didn't post the hw solutions until then. No CLAS offered, TA's unhelpful, Lecture=Boring, teaches from overhead&goes too fast, makes things far moreComplex.HORRIDTEACHER
