Galloway was a great professor. He is incredibly smart, respected in his field, funny, nice, and overall just a complete beast. However, the class is relatively difficult in general. The average of our first test was a 67% just to show you. However, there is a curve (that he doesn't really tell you ever so you just kind of have to guess how much it will be). Don't buy the textbook I never used it and it wasn't a problem, everything is from the slides/in class. Go to the review sessions they are very helpful, and if you need it do the extra credit. You could get 5% added to your grade for it (which is an insane amount if you think about it), but it is a lot of work (think the paper is like 25 pages or something). I found studying for this class with a friend helped a lot (usually i never do this) because you can explain the concepts to each other which you will have to do in detail on the tests. Overall got an A w/o putting in too much time besides long grinds for the tests. Great intro to env class!

If you need to complete your science requirement, take this class. Professor Galloway makes this class. He gives out free candy all the time, and you will be more excited about nitrogen than you ever thought possible. Getting an A should not be too difficult, and the final is not comprehensive. Also, there's an extra credit project that can get you an additional five percentage points on your final grade, which is ridiculous if you think about it.

Loved this class. Galloway is genuine and approachable and really wants you to learn. Extra credit project at the end which boosted me to a B+ and really made a difference on my GPA. Always hands out candy on holidays and fridays that most people are gone. The pace of the course goes kind of quickly and you really have to understand the information to get As on his tests, so a background in environmental science would be helpful. Readings are optional and theres a total of like 3 or 4 assignments besides the tests.

Great class, great guy.

Inspired me to be an ENVISCI Major, and I know the same is true for others. He's super passionate about what he teaches, and he's also super genuine, strongly recommend the class

Great class, nice guy, little harder than one would expect for a one-thousand. If you read the textbook you'll get an A.
I went to class for the tests and to turn in the homework but since he posts the slides and all of the info is from the textbook you dont have to go.
I'd recommend it for any non-science majors who need a little literacy in renewables and anthropogenic changes to the environ.

The professor is great. He's very funny and friendly. There's only 3 homeworks, and they're all very easy. The tests aren't particularly easy, and asks relatively petty details, so study alot and pay attention to lecture! I didn't find the readings particularly necessary, though.

Professor Galloway is really nice and super funny. He's really approachable and will help you with anything you need outside of class. However, for a 1000 level course his tests are a little bit ridiculous. If you study A LOT you might be able to pull off a B, but they're difficult. He does offer an extra credit paper to bump your grade up at the end of the semester though. If you're not interested in Environmental Science, I wouldn't take this as an easy A class.
