No Comments
You will not learn ANYTHING. He will put up the same slide every class. "Hello class"... "The GDP is the gross domestric product" that's all you'll hear for the entire semester.
THE BEST!!! NICE GUY AND EASY A..PERFECT FOR PEOPLE THAT WORK FULL TIME LIKE ME :)
You will not learn anything in his class. Never know what he talks about.
He's nice and sometimes funny. "We're family here". He sometimes looks a little sad. But he's good and I'm taking him for the next course too. Way to go, professor!
Take HIM!!! I would recommend if you really want to pass.
THIS PROFESSOR DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE ABOUT ANYTHING, AND HE DOES THE SAME THING EVERY CLASS, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HIM BECAUSE HES SOOO BORING YOU DONT WANT TO GO TO CLASS, SO WHATS THE POINT?... IF YOU JUST WANT TO PASS AND NOT LEARN ANYTHING THAN TAKE HIM...
Just listen to what he has to say, go to class, and you a guaranteed an A.
he does the same thing everyday extremely boring you dont learn anything and not a good idea to take him if you are a bussiness major.
very nice guy...however he is very boring, repetitive and monotone...but as long as you go to class and are very familiar with the vocabulary words ..an A for sure...plus he lets you use a cheat sheet on every test..bc "we are all family"
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR . HE DOESNT TEACH ANYTHING GOOD. IF YOU WANT TO GET A BAD GRADE THEN TAKE HIM. IF YOU WANT TO RUIN YOUR GPA. TAKE HIM. NOW IF YOU WANT TO LEARN SOMETHING DONT TAKE HIM.
TAKE HIM!! He is sooo easy.. simplifies the concepts and makes sure you understand them. Exams are a piece of cake, and he helps you out on tests by giving you the benefit of the doubt are "harder" questions. Excellent professor.
This teacher is a very nice man. However, if you want to go to class to learn, you are wasting your time. His lectures are redundant in the sense that he repeats things over and over every class. Personally I don't think he is a great teacher. Sure you will get an "A" however, you won't have to work hard for it.
He is a great professor, a great person he says that we are all a family. All we have to do is go to class take notes and you are gueranteed an A in his class. you can use notes on you're tests and he helps you out this is an easy A.
great teacher
Mr. Galbe is a really nice man and if you want an Easy A then take this class. However, don't expect to learn anything, his lectures are very repetitive and you will be easily bored. If you are looking for an easy way out then take him but BEWARE of the Lectures! PS He let's you use notes on his tests.
Caught myself (and the class also) snoring a few times. He is very nice, but boring. Tests are to his wording. Just make sure to write down all the questions with the answers from the previous tests. It will be on the FINAL.
Hey anyone with the desire to get an easy grade while learning then this is a great class. His methods are awesome, while preparing notes for the test you are actually learning Macroeconomics. Very good professor does have a strong accent but he is clear. Highly Recommended!!!
you are not going to learn nothing with him. he teaches the same thing every day of the semester
awesome professor for anyone who workls full time. he does teach just a bit slow. however, great guy would reccomend to anyone took him for the fall and received an A. GO PROFESSOR!!
awesome teacher!
AWESOME TEACHER. ATTENDANCE NOT MANDATORY ALTHOUGH, HES VERY REPETITIVE IF U ATTEND CLASS YOU WILL LEARN AND HIS TEST ARE EASY. SO FAR THROGUHOUT THE SEMESTER I HAVE AN A. HIGHLY RECCOMEND AND DEF TAKING HIM FOR 2023.
This Prof. is the best! He gives handouts way before the tests plus lets you use a page of notes for the test! Really flexible and clear! TAKE HIM!
I RECOMMEND HIM
What a great professor. Always willing to help. Yes he might be repetitive but in the long run if you attend class and listen and write notes there is no way you will earn less than an A. Hihly reccomend Mr Galbe he rocks!!
awesome got a B without studying and missed many classes . highly reccomend A++ Teacher.
Took this teacher for eco2013. He is a great teacher. he goes over the material over and over again to make sure you understand. You must go to class to get a good grade. he gives great reviews for the test..
WOW. HOW GREAT. PASSED WITH NO PROBLEMS. RECEIVED AN A. GREAT TEACHER HE IS VERY REPETITIVE BUT THAT BENEFITS YOU IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A GREAT GRADE I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS CLASS TO ALL
Couple things. This guy is the man. Easy A for anyone with half a working brain. He treats you like family and is the most leniant teacher I have taken at Dade. Defenetily recomend.

HE'S COOL, JUST TAKE HIM AND YOU WON'T REGRET. =]
he is not a very good professor because he is very repetetive and he makes you read the whole chapter when is completly uneccesary because in the test not even half of the stuff you read appears on the test. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HIM.
Dude this guy kicks ass. He is slack so if your the person that wants to learn take professors foran rober then u will struggle. I took this guy back in 06 he rocks. He is repetitive because he wants us to pass the class not to be dumb ass. If you want an easy ride but you do learn many things for example, GDP. He is great so take him easy.
TOOK HIM IN THE SUMMER, AND IT WAS AN EASY CLASS. GOT A "B" IN HIS CLASS. I RECOMMEND HIM TO ALL. YOU GOT MY WORD!
This guy is great... why? Not mandatory to show up, little homework, u can listen to your ipod in class ... its a chill class , with a chill teacher... Highly recommend him!
EXCELLENT PROFESSOR ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. I EARNED AN A GRADE HIGHLY RECCOMEND. VERY GOOD AT EXPLAINING OVER ALL EASY CLASS. HIGHLY RECCOMEND TOOK HIM FOR THE SUMMER I BELIEVE NO ONE FAILED HIS CLASS.
ok.so he IS an easy 'A' but pleas dont take him.i like slack classes but i also like to learn i didnt lern anything with him.i paid $200 just to wake up early and sit in a clas.put it this way,he reviewed the cillubus for a WHOLE WEEK!!extremly repetetive,you can tell that he doesnt know what hes talking about,he really does try,really nice teacher
It was my 1st class of the day & I loved it b/c attendance isnt mandatory. He is repetive but thats a good thing, so when your not there you dont miss n/e new! No HW, only 2 exams and 1 Final, a 6 pg report (we choose the topic), and a summary for extra credit. Drops lowest grade and replaces w/ final. He makes sure you dont fail! Not stressful.
Easiest class ever!! attendance is not mandatory at all!!Hoewever, he is very repetitive but you dont have hws nor quizzes. 2 examns and 1 final, easy easy easy!! Take him just if you dont want to finish with t he course cuz u are not going to learn that much..
Doesnt cover the material that goes on the tests & goes over the same stuff every class but only 10% of that is in the test. Although you can bring a paper with anything you like for the test. His tests are confusing and there are only 2 and a final test.
EXCELLENT. EASY GOING ALONG TEACHER. EASIEST TEST. EARNED AN A. WHO EVER WRITES A BAD REVIEW FOR THIS TEACHER NEEDS TO STAY AWAY FROM COLLEGE. HE IS NICE AND YOU DO LEARN SOMETHING FOR EXAMPLE THE GDP. ANYHOW IF U DONT WANT ALOT OF WORK AND EASY B ATLEAST THIS IS UR GUY
Prof. Galbe was ok. Your grade is based on two tests and a Final Exam. He is repetitive, but its kinda good because eventually whatever he keeps repeating will stick to you. For the 2 tests and the Final Exam he lets you bring in a page full of notes so that you don't have to memorize anything. Easy A. Take Him. You won't regret it.
He is a good professor. Lectures are boring at times but he repeats and stresses the info youl need to know. Let's you use a "cheat sheet" on all tests, which really helps. The tests can be a little hard so don't take them lightly. As long as you prepare a good sheet, take a few key notes and do his paper youl be fine.
Easy class. u need the book though. the tests come mostly from the book, not the class. save your money; i purchased the 16th edition and it was the same as the 17th edition. this class is the easiest class i have ever taken in my entire life. 2 tests and a final.
I just finished taking this guy for my economics class. He's a horrible teacher, yes he does let you bring in a sheet of notes and he does give a study guide for the tests but trust me when i tell you NOTHING from what is on the study guide was on the tests. He repeats things over and over, the class gets very boring. I don't recomend him at all!
Awesome teacher, super easy & Super fun, you wont regret taking him.. =)
DO NOT TAKE HIM!!!!! HIS CLASS IS USELESS .THE REVIEWS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WIHT THE ACTUAL TEST . ONLY 3 TESTS AND A REPORT..STAY AWAY FROM HIM , HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TEACH AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR GRADE.
he's a good professor and he does care about his students but,it would be up to you to determine your final grade. there are three test & all three were easy. he test are based on your understanding of the chapters.so if you failed this class you clearly didnt try enough or simply made dumb mistakes.I passed with an A &Igot a C on my 1st test...
Tests are straight from book; don't bother with lectures. Book is increadibly well written & has easy examples so if you read each chapter you'll pass easily. Prof is very nice & wants you to pass. He will only count attendance to help you pass if grades are low. Lets you bring one sheet of notes for tests. Easy class. Little effort. Recommend.
exelent teacher!!!! love him
This guy does not know how to teach.He repeats the SAME thing everyday with the same examples.He tells you to study one thing& tests for something else because he uses other professors exam.I got an A and i don't know how.He is easy but he keeps you guessing your grade for whole time.I think he just gives A's so one goes to the dean. He will say he
This guy is hillarious, take him if your familiar with the course & want an A. Call him Mr." Don't worry about it, we're all family."
ok so heres the deal with dis guy..there are three tests and they are mostly twenty questions each,he lets you bring notes to those tests and there is a report that he doesnt even grade because it just has to comply with the gordon rule,all of that is pretty cool except.. you dont learn anything!!!!
CLASSES ARE VERY EASY, YOU JUST NEED TO READ THE CHAPTERS AND WRITE THINGS ON A SUMMARY PAGE THAT HE ALLOWS TO USE IN ALL 3 TESTS. I WILL DEFINITELY TAKE HIM AGAIN FOR MY OTHER ECONOMICS CLASS.
He will be your MOST boring class. Think about ur boring-est class now, and this one is guaranteed to be worst. The tests are hard, that's y he allows you to have a page of notes when taking the test. He doesn't know how to teach. All he does is talk about "what's in the news", "Coca-Cola" and "McDonalds" EVERYDAY. And there is no extra credit.
Easy class, he lets u take a paper to the tests with w.e u want on it but the exams are not that easy just make sure you put a lot of info in that paper. He doesnt care about attendance and yess it is a very boring class but u dont have to go everyday anyways. Research paper just copy and paste no big deal. Good Luck
Boring class but not that bad since attendance is not mandatory. He lets you use a paper with notes for the tests and u can write as much and as little as u can in them. U can even use computer paper. It doesn't matter. But you'll need it because the test are not that easy. Research paper but he's not too on top of that. Just do it even if it's bad
extremely easy! talks about the same thing everyday so you never miss a thing. one report due at the end of the term worth most your grade and 2 test plus a final but you can have a "1" page cheat sheet. test are hard though so make sure you have more then enough notes on you cheat sheet. other then that easy A, if you pass the test n do the report
I took this class this summer 2010 and I thought at the beginning it would be difficult but it wasn't. You have to write one essay and gave us the whole summer to finish it and also you can use a sheetcheat and also I recommend to write it down whatever he says because that's what you will have on the test. Easy "A"
He lets you use a cheat sheet on the test (8 1/2 X 11 paper, front and back with all the notes you want)
LOTS of reading from the textbook and alot of self studying. To pass i guess it fairly easy, but to get an "A" you need to read all the chapters he assign. Good teacher, and his test are quite difficult, does let you use a cheat sheet but are RANDOM questions.
Easy class no homework and very nice teacher !!!
Easy class !!! Very nice professor
This class is an easy A. Just have to read the book and pay attention to his slides. He will repeat the material over and over and what he says is what is on the test. He will also let you use an entire page of notes (front and back) during the test with as much material as you can fit.
A great professor. Lets you bring one piece of paper for the test and it can have any type of writing you want. Attendance for students are not mandatory plus he repeats the lesson a day before the test so your prepared. Honestly he really cares about he's students, the test aren't very hard but can be tricky. Just study and you'll pass with an A.
Good professor but not easy, business stat was tough but made my way through. If your good at statistics and math than you should do fine. Only 3 Tests make your grade. The Final replaces your lowest score and is cumulative.
3 tests, homework helps your grade but not mandatory, attendance is only required for test days. He is a good person.
Grade is made up of 3 test grades and he also considers your attendance and your level of interest to determine your grade if you need the help. Does not explain things very clear, but the only attention I had to give to his class was a few hours with my tutor a day before the test and I got an A. I WOULD recommend him!
Excellent professor. His class is composed of 3 tests. Attendence is not mandatory and he lets you use a cheat sheat for his tests. His tests can be tricky so just study what he covers and you will get an A. Very friendly also.
HE'S VERY QUICK. THICK ACCENT BUT UNDERSTANDABLE. A NOTE SHEET IS ALLOWED DURING EACH EXAM, WHICH IS AWESOME. DO THE HW IT GIVES YOU POINTS ON YOUR FIRST 2 EXAMS. THIS WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PASSING THE CLASS WITH AN A OR C
He is a good teacher. attendance isn't mandatory, but he repeats a lot of things that will probably be on the tests. He is very fair and uses student friendly numbers. I definitely recommend him .
He repeats everything, which is a waste of time. Review the key words in the chapters and you will do fine. Easy A, horrible classroom lectures, attendance is mandatory (or so he says, plenty of people never showed up except for exams)
the worst teachers ever.The only way i learned was going to the lab. He doesn't teach at all,just show hand written things on projector screen. If you ask questions he gets mad. If he would write out the math in class it would be helpful.
Decent professor but repeats same thing a lot. Homework is not mandatory but is helpful. Teaches you what you need to know and the book is highly used. 15 lab hours. 3 exams(final counts as 2). 1 essay. attend class and you'll be fine
Very to the book as far as his syllabus goes. Three tests total and a few things to give extra credit. the lab is mandatory and doesn't help. the coursework is tough he makes it easier. The book is just about pointless as he doesn't use anything from it. All the hw and tests is based on his formulas. "Have a friend for your protection"
OK professor but repeats the same thing a lot. Homework is not mandatory but is helpful. Teaches you what you need to know and the book is highly used. 15 lab hours. 3 exams(final replaces lowest grade) Gordan Rule, also you have to buy a software program; Hawks,12 certificates, do them and he gives you extra credit on tests Good Luck!!
For your own protection, take this class! Professor is not the mean one he seems. Test 1 and 2 are easy! He lets you take a sheet of paper where you can take notes on and use to take all 3 tests. 3rd exam replaces your lowest score, however the 3rd exam is incredibly difficult! Do not miss or fail exams 1 and 2! ZZaaaSS! Where is the class?
He's a great professor he gives 2 exams and a final. He'll also assign a Gordon rule essay and will give the option to do hw which he applies them as extra credit to the test so definitely recommend to do easy 10 points. His test are usually 20 questions. His classes can be boring but definitely worth it !
Very confusing, his tests cover material that we barely covered in class (or not at all). Study guide for tests doesn't help in the slightest, so you're stuck studying from the book itself, if you're looking for an easy A, I'd pass on this guy.
Professor Galbe is a nice person but i didn't understand anything in the class. He repeats a lot but he doesn't make it clear. If you understand economics it is an easy A but, if you are like me, that doesn't understand the course, do not take him.
2 tests and 1 final. If you do all the hw he gives, you receive 10 extra points on tests. Hw is maybe 2 questions from a chapter. He also gives a study guide for each test. His tests have tricky questions so make sure to take notes what he says in class because most likely will be on the test. A 2000 word essay is due at the end of the semester.
He's a pretty decent teacher. The only problem I have is that he takes a while to answer my questions. He is very repetitive and his lectures feel prolonging. However, if you take notes and read the book, you'll be just fine. He also has a cheat sheet you can use for the test. So with the right notes and studying, you should be just fine.
Attendance was not mandatory and he gives homework that is used as extra credit on the tests. We wrote one paper that was not graded but needed to be written in order to pass. He was very repetitive of the subject material. Also final replaced lowest test grade and on tests we were able to use a summary sheet.
Good Professor! His grading criteria is very clear, he gives extra points for homework and gives very good explanation of all topics. It might seem repetitive, but he does it because he knows some people still don't pay attention. Take notes and read a bit and you will do just fine. I will take him again!
Respectfully, this professor should've retired years and years ago. He never answers your questions and the test have nothing to do with his lectures. Only good thing about the class is that it's not mandatory to go.
He's an okay professor I guess. Theres only 3 exams. Whichever test you score better on either the first or the second he drops the lower one. You're allowed to do extra credit homework which is 10 points extra on the test (the homework super easy, he doesn't even read it, at most its like 6 questions). He can't teach, avoid if you can.
He comes off as senile and the quality of his lectures suffer as a result. However, if you have a basic understanding of economics or can afford to read the textbook at home then the tests should be easy. He also lets you print and bring your own study guide to use when taking the tests.
If you are unable to make friends, this is not the class for you.. This will take team effort from start to finish. 3 exams. Final exam will have around 15 questions from exam 1 and 2. Garentee pass. You can use 1 sheet of notes for all 3 exams. And homework is 10 extra points for exams 1 and 2. Zzzaasszz. He is your friend, dont forget that
