Comment:

Dr. Galbo is amazing. He is the quirky, nerdy prof every cheesy young adult movie has. Not a hard marker, but gives great feedback. Tests are easy, but be meticulous with the mechanics of your essay. Not terribly strict in any sense, but appreciates participation and notices students who pay attention.

He appears intellectual (at least at UNBSJ), but seriously lacks the intellect (anywhere)!

Comment:

he really enjoys what he teaches, but relies too much on videos. pretty much everything that he's taught i've learned in social psych so the class isn't that interesting to me, but its easy as long as you read the chapters and webct notes and what ever else he gives you

He is a really interesting professor. The class is quite interesting as well. In my opinion the tests can be tricky, but they are decent. Overall, the class was pretty good. I love his accent.

Comment:

Dr Galbo tries to instill his love of film in his students, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. All he really expects is for students to show up and do the work, he'll help you if you need it. Great guy to talk to outside of class also.

Relies on videos to do his teaching for him. Most of class is failing and he is wondering why? Does not engage the students.

Comment:

Galbo is one of the easiest profs I ever had. He's great. All we did was watch documentaries. And throughout the whole semester, we only had two tests, an essay and the exam! The exam was only 35 multiple choice questions!!! Take this course if you want an easy mark.

On top of everything - LOVES what he does. Charming, affable guy who has no real pretensions. Offer up anything in discussion (within context and reason) and you get good marks.
