Reviews of professor A. Galvan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Literally the best teacher I could have taken. If you're looking for an easy A, take this class! All homework is are readings due every 3 weeks. The exams are super easy if you do the study guides! Professor Galvan truly wants the best for his students and offers extra credit. I missed a week of class for a trip and I still got a 95 on the test

The class I took had 3 tests with I THINK 30 multiple choice 10 written answers and 1 essay. He let you choose the essay prompt for the exam(three choices) in advance using a neatly organized study guide. The workload was light but its a bit of reading. It's really enjoyable though and I like that he gives his students some freedom in choice.

He was a decent teacher! I took him both for history 111 and history 112. I wouldn't mind taking him again. To get a good grade in the class, complete the study guides that he provides and prep at least 2 of the essay prompts. Instead of taking handwritten notes, I suggest bringing in a laptop. Online notes will help complete the study guides.

Professor Galvan is funny on occasion but his class is very lecture heavy. Textbook: He requires you to buy two textbooks, one for in-class and one for homework (this is cheap on amazon as an eReader). Attendance: only mandatory because he doesn't put powerpoint on canvas

Currently taking this professor online short-term class. He could be a little more organized doesnt really give enough time to prepare for tests, informed us 2 days before test day to study for our second test. Needs to improve on announcements. Tests have few multiple choice rest are written/essay questions, discussion posts, research paper

Just had Professor Galvan this spring for Hist101. His lectures were fun and broke them up with videos and some group work, and by group work I mean just 15 minutes with a partner or two to talk about a quick topic. His tests were fair and he gave you plenty of time and a study guide to prepare for the tests. Some extra credit too.

I had Anthony way back in Fall 2017. He's a good guy, albeit a little late on posting things on Canvas, and a bit unsure on how he wants to run his class. But the work was easy and so was the essay that we needed to right. I wouldn't mind taking him again.
