Reviews of professor Eugene Gallagher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
An intro class that uses programming in R to teach stats. Gallagher is a wealth of info, and a very kind person overall - ALWAYS willing to help out students who have problems/questions. It's easy at first to become overwhelmed by the complexities of R, or the work assigned  - but it is geared towards most all skill levels if you put in the effort

Lectures were often tangents that hardly followed the book. He was obviously knowledgable on this topic, but the class itself did nothing in terms of educating me. I taught myself the material throughout the semester. There was a book report and a final as the only graded materials. The material on the final was rarely discussed in class.

Dr. Gallagher is  full of information and is a very nice person. I am taking oceanography and he is an incredible source of knowledge and experience. Classes feel monotone from time to time but no lie, you learn a lot. What I can say is that this class should not be considered an introductory course, if you are into the topic you will learn a lot.

This class was the easiest class Ive ever taken. I showed up to the first class and that class alone. Used the program Cengage which had the book and quizzes with each chapter. Those open book quizzes were the bulk of the grade, along with online discussion posts each week and one book report and test for the entire semester. Easy A tosaytheleast.

Definitely full of information about oceanography but really cares about his students and wants everyone to pass. Gave us multiple opportunities to retake the midterm if we did not do as well as we wanted and is letting us make multiple attempts at the final as well. Gave study guides for both and has expressed that he is lenient with his grades.

I have him for an intro stats class. We use R in this class and for an intro class he acts like everyone knows how to use it. Im considering dropping because I dont know whats going on. Im so overwhelmed in class that I get so anxious I can hardly focus. Hes cold, boring, and frankly I think he is rude. Hes been teaching for too long!
