took him over the summer during fssp. going to lecture? prepare to nap. i never bought the textbooks and still managed to pass the class. very nice professor, but very dry lectures. you can probably study the night before and still pass the tests! pretty easy tests and papers.

Professor Gallucci is really nice, but his lectures are super boring. I tried so hard to pay attention but I could not listen to him. Maybe sitting in the front might help. The class was really easy. Honestly if you do all the readings you don't even have to go to lecture. Gives a decent amount of extra-credit too!

Easiest professor at UCSB by far. Midterm and final are straightforward. Gives ALOT of extra credit. Going to his office hours for paper reading will give you an A. TAKE HIM if you ever get the chance.

Boring lectures but you don't have to go. Just show up for the few before the midterm/final and you'll be good to go. Two one-page essays that are worth 10% and he gives 10/10 on almost every paper. He gives study guides for tests, just study those and it's an easy A. Never read for this class either. No final because of the mudslides. Nice guy too

Gallucci is awesome. Lectures can be boring, but the guy knows his stuff. Definitely don't purchase the textbooks, I never opened them once and got an A. Tons of extra credit opportunities. I didn't have to take the final because of the fires and chose my midterm score as my final grade, so I can't speak for the final, but the midterm was easy.

Comment:
Take this if you want an easy A, not if you want to learn. There are short lists of certain things you need to memorize but it's simple if you catch some of the few lecture slides he puts up briefly. Tests are multiple choice, super easy if you have a general grasp of the material & common sense. Boring lecturer & flaky during office hours.

Attend all class, do all the essays. They break down all the requirements of the class you need to get an A. It is very easy to slip up on the total requirements for the course, so always ask for clarification. If you miss too much class, just take it P/NP. FSSP was a great experience, the biggest reason not to do it is the cost.

Literally showed up Syllabus day, Midterm, and Final. Ended up getting a B+. 2 papers, midterm, final. His tests are all multiple choice. Fairly easy material if you do the reading.

Easiest course at the university. Either pay attention to the lectures or crack open the textbook. Your grade consists of one paper (1000 words), a midterm, a final, weekly quizzes and section attendance. There are 2 extra credit opportunities too. Gallucci is a bit dry but the class is interesting.

Comment:
He's a very knowledgeable professor, though his lectures can feel a little bit dry, especially four days per week in a row as during FSSP. He cares about his students about as much as possible though and getting an A is really easy if you go to his review session and follow the checklists and vocabulary.

Gallucci's really accessible during office hours but his lectures put just about everybody. You don't have to buy Powell (I did and never read any of the chapters) There are so many quizlets about the stories just flip through those cards during lecture- it's a better use of your time and his monotone voice is the best to help you focus.

Comment:
I took this class because I read online that it was going to be an easy A and fill a gen ed. However, I was talked to sleep in every lecture I went to because his voice is the most monotone voice to ever exist. It really wasn't that hard of a class, but trying to learn information from the professor was impossible. I had to teach myself. It sucked

Comment:
For future FSSP students, I would recommend reading the book. Yes, sometimes it's hard to focus in lectures, but Gallucci is a great person and clearly cares about his students. The class itself isn't difficult if you just read the book daily, which is like 20-30 pages a day. Your friends will panic the night before a test but you'll be cruising.
