Comment:

This is the second semester I took Dr. Gallitano, since I loved her so much from Stat. I could't understand calc for the life of me until I had her. Gives study guides for each exam and all tests are multiple choice. Teaches you things the easy way. Be ware, tests are harder than the study guide so study the harder problems from your notes.

Dr. Gallitano is really clear when explaining the material. She's very easily swayed by her students and there's not really much homework which is nice. Her review sheets are exactly like her tests and she makes the class pretty easy.

Awesome teacher, bombed calc the first time I took it but Dr. G is great. She teaches you a lot of shortcuts instead of doing the long boring method. Homework is worth a test grade which helps a ton. Always available in her office and truly wants to help you out. Lets you use a calculator on tests too which is huge.

I really like the way this Professor teaches. She is clear in presenting the material. Her review sheets before the tests are very helpful and right on. She is nice to the students and answers questions without any problems. I would take her again.

Comment:

Gallitano isn't awful at teaching, but she could benefit from making topics much clearer and more understandable. The reviews help, as she goes over them, but they never match up well with the tests. There's little room to mess up here. Also, the homework is too time consuming, and is easily the most frustrating part of this class. Don't take her.

Great Professor. I would take her again. The review sheets before each test are very helpful and she explains everything in great detail. She's also helpful outside of class and explains how to use the calculator for most problems.

Comment:

Dr. Gallitano's class isn't hard, but she isn't a good professor. She fails to teach the theory behind the material, opting for merely stating the buttons you should push on your calculator for the right answer (never the "why" behind it). One time, a student asked a question and she answered "Uh well, that's why it's confusing." Nice lady, though.

Go to class and you will get an A. She hands out reviews for every exam and they are extremely helpful. She will teach you exactly how to use your calculator to do problems. If you but in the effort to review and attend her lectures, you will never get a bad grade.

She is an amazing teacher. If you pay attention or just do the review sheet you will get an A. Her review is almost the same as the test and its all multiple choice

Best math teacher ive ever had. No teacher has been able to help me fully understand a topic of math except Dr. Gallitano. She seems super serious but is really really nice. Go to class, pay attention, ask questions, and you'll get an A . I'm always scared to ask dumb questions but Dr. Gallitano will answer them without making you feel stupid.

She is a good professor. The class isnt too bad, sometimes she goes off on tangents but she knows the material and teaches it in a good way. She will answer your questions and will try to help you but sometimes she comes off as rude. You have online homework that isnt due until the end of the semester. Study guides help a lot!

Loved Dr. Gallitano! She teaches the material very well and actually lets you use your graphing calculator on the exams which makes them super easy. Make sure you go to lecture though because she tends to take attendence

Comment:

Proff Gallitano is really sarcastic and I always messed around in her class. I missed the class a lot and still passed with an A. Do the HW reviews bc the tests are always very very similar once you know how to solve the problems on the reviews and you'll do fine on all the tests. She gives you a couple problems to do every class for HW super easy

Comment:

The class is easy if you pay attention to the calculator shortcuts and remember them, she explains things in depth and gives you all the tools to pass the tests. DO THE REVIEWS!!!! The only negative thing I have to say is that she might have the worst attitude I have ever seen in a professor and can be very rude at times. Would take again.

Gallitano does a good job of explaining Stat but she can get a little boring. Her study guides before the tests are great because they are exactly like what she puts on the real test. I would take her again

Comment:

- I bought the textbook & throughout the semester I realized it was a waste of money because she would just bring her textbook & use it on the overhead. She assigns homework in the textbook but doesn't check that you did it. In stead she goes over it. You do need to buy the access code for the online homework it could boost your grade up a lot.

Comment:

Professor Gallitano was hands down the best math professor I have ever had. She was clear and concise on every topic in Calculus. She is kind of funny in her own little way and always wants to make sure everyone understands the material, which is important during a Summer session. I'd recommend her over the other options in the math department.

Great professor. I had this class before and now realize how much better Dr. Gallitano is at explaining the material. I learned a lot and she is a fair grader. If you come to class and do the work you'll get a good grade. She explains things clearly. Take her if you can.

Dr. Gallitano is an excellent professor. I really learned a lot from her. She knows the material and lots of math tricks which are very helpful. I would take her again. Her review sheets before each test are excellent and she goes over them. She does the same for the final. Take her if you can you won't regret it.
