Comment:

Gallo is a cool and funny professor. He knows how to teach the subject in a way u can understand. His exams aren't too hard, just take good notes and study hard. He gives 2 of them, plus the final. He lets u take a cumulative exam if u got a bad grade on one exam. There are 2 homework assignments due before exams. Overall, he might not be easy, but a nice and cool dude.

Comment:

Very confusing. Relies heavily on graphs and formulas which he never labels and expects you to understand. Homeworks are turned in with the midterm so if you do something wrong i.e. wrong problems or book you are completely screwed. Talks over students and avoids confrontation when he is proved wrong by changing subject. Worst profI've ever had.

Comment:

Very good professor, really tries to help you understand the material. Barely use the book, question 1 on the eams are all pretty much the same. All you can do is memorize the tables and graphs. He tells you everythin on the test, difficult but its just a lot of memorization.Three tests and final exam. No extra credit.

Gallo is a great instructor. His lectures are interesting because he relates them to current events. His tests are very easy to pass as long as you attend EVERY class. I would recommend him to anyone taking Econ 102.

Dr. Gallo is a funny guy. His class is interesting. Macroecon is hard in general. But he explains it fairly well. Don't get upset when you get the grades for your homework. It's not really a big deal. The midterms are the most important to affect your grade. Study hard for the exams is the best way to get a good grade in his class. GO TO CLASS

Hard class, but he is an interesting teacher. He seems kind of stern, but his sarcasm cracks me up! I reccomend him if you are up for the challenge.

Comment:

Do not miss Fridays. He gives out test questions on Fridays and subcontiously takes note if your not in class so if you miss class be sure that your getting a good grade because he offers no sympathy if you miss class. He has a statistic that says if you miss 4 classes then you fail the class and he tries to stick. Other than that he's worth taking

Comment:

Good Teacher!!! Explains the material very clearly, and you know what to expect on the tests(I still have nightmares about LM/IS curves). Makes class interesting and worth attending, which you must do if you expect to get a good grade. Probably should have paid more attention in the energy class (very math intensive), but he let me off the hook. Thanks Gallo!!!

Comment:

Mr. Gallo is the most interesting Econ teacher I have come across. For the most part he keeps you interested in the topic matter. If you show up to class, you will do fine. He gives you sample questions for the tests throughout lectures so showing up means you pretty much get the answers to the tests. He shows up to class five minutes late.

Gallo is one of the tightest teachers at CSUC. He is fair and relates real life situtions to Econ. He keeps boring subjects fun. I highly recomend him to anyone. His grading policy is sweet. If you show improvement it will show in your final grade. Awesome guy highly recomend him to anyone!

Comment:

AWFUL TEACHER!!! He doesnt explain anything. There is no point in going to class because he never talks about class stuff or notes. All you ever do in his class is listen to him talk about current events. Easy grader and curves tests, but overall he is a bad teacher!

Great teacher, straight forward, no messing around, conveys all the material well. If you put in the necessary time you will do well. If you are a slacker find another teacher.

Gallo is awesome. Going to class is crutial. You need to be awake and ready to go, listen to anything he says about test questions. Usually he'll give you most of the questions ahead of time. Take good notes. The tests are impossible if you dont know what you're doing.
