Comment:

Dr. Gallagher is a great person. The material more than anything was the difficult part. He is willing to help though outside of class. I recommend getting and using the textbook for an outside of class reference- you will need it.

Comment:

Are you looking for a class that's somehow both agonizing and entertaining? Lectures-rough. Exams-an absolute unit. Labs-prepare to hurry up and wait. Pen clicks-prevalent. Dr. G. has good days and bad, so he can be a little inconsistent in out of class help, but overall he actually wants you to pass, and understand the material. Just takes EFFORT

Dr. Gallaher is a deeply caring Professor, and makes that clear with every class. He sees the potential in every student and tests them to show how well they can really do. Always available and always helpful. One of the biggest hearts ever. You'll be lucky to have a class with as good of a man.

Comment:

O-Chem 2 is a difficult class. . Dr.G Focuses more on the mechanism of the reactions and few problems here and there. Although this may not be efficient for most students, he really wants you to succeed. He makes it possible to earn 100% on at least one of the 4 exams -we got lucky for 2 (this is huge!!). He wants you to try- you slack; you fail

Comment:

I regretted taken class with him. He is just horrible. It is very hard to apply what he taught in class on exams. He's not a fair grader. Coming to his class does not worth with bcos you can not apply what he teaches in class on exams and home work. I will never advise anyone to take his class. He will mess up your gpa. His labs grading are worst.

Comment:

Dr. Gallaher is an unfair grader. He will not follow his grading key, he will not return assignments from your first semester until your second semester so if you end up with a C you will have no idea why. He also has made students feel stupid when they ask him question and has had to apologize it.

Comment:

If you can get to him on a good day he can be kind and helpful, but on a bad day he is rather condescending and makes you feel like a complete idiot. He makes really weird and boarding on inappropriate jokes. His tests are really tough and there is never enough time for examples in class. He is also a very slow grader when it comes to lab reports.

Comment:

Gallaher is an awesome professor. The course content is not easy, but he makes it bearable. He is very funny and cracks jokes frequently. I really respect him as a professor. While you the grading is not the quickest, he provides very individualized feedback and it makes the wait worth it. If you need help outside of his course he will provide it.

Comment:

He teaches organic chemistry. It is kind of hard to make organic appealing, but he finds a way. He has a funny sense of humor. The class is hard, but it is due to the subject material itself. He is always there if you need help. His tests are extremely difficult, but he tries to be as helpful as possible. One of the nicest professor at Carlow.

Comment:

He's s great professor who genuinely cares about his students. He talks to people who talk to him so that can sometimes be misconstrued as favoritism. He teaches organic, a difficult subject very well. He's real and does not beat around the bush, which is nice.

Comment:

First off, he is definitely NOT hot. EW!!! Secondly, he is a decent teacher, but he picks favorites and makes it blatantly obvious who those individuals are. His criticisms on labs/exams are harsh, rude, and not helpful. In one word: arrogant.

Comment:

He is very smart and knows what he is talking about! O-chem was something I knew nothing about, but I left loving it! His only downside is that he chooses favorites and is very arrogant. He was also very unorganized in handing back test/assmts/labs. If you can deal with that it is very worth your time to take his course.

He is an amazing professor with great people skills. If you are confused about anything he can clear it up for you within 15 minutes of his office hours. Take him if you are a chem major it will also help in the long run he is full of very informative advice.

Comment:

He is a GREAT instructor. I suck at the class though and it is mad hard and sometimes makes me want to kill myself, and everytime there is a test I get sick, I think it is because of the ulcer I got from being stressed, but I am getting through it and getting the extra help I need.
