very smart, loves what she teaches and wants everyone to do well.. one of the best teachers i've had.
The best! She is realistic in what she expects you to take away from the cousre and then makes sure you know it. She is concerned about her students. Conducts herself professionally. I recomend her HIGHLY.
Professor is great. She knows her subject matter well and is very helpful with her students. I highly recommend her for Accounting.
yah u can say she is good if your 40 and love accounting..if you are an average student and dont liek accounting do not take her!!her tests are too hard for what she teaches
knows what she's teaching, very helpful and clear, tests are not easy, if you are acc major you'll by happy, if you just need to pass this class try another teacher, never leave early, best for acc majors.
very good, know what she is doing, likes to help out, teaches very well, hard exams
great teacher. too bad this college does not have many like her.
great teacher... never left class being confused...very helpful...recommend to everyone...the tests are only hard if u dont study for them and im not talking about hours of studying just brief summary review, her tests are exactly what she teaches-never a surprise,
I would say that she explians everything very clearly..if u take notes and go over them you will pass her class.. she is a very fair teacher and I would 100 % recommend her..
GREATEST PROFESSOR MUST TAKE, JUST STUDY YOU WILL DO GOOD, ONE OF THE BEST PERSONALITIE AND VERY HELPFUL.
GREATEST PROFESSOR MUST TAKE, JUST STUDY YOU WILL DO GOOD, ONE OF THE BEST PERSONALITIE AND VERY HELPFUL.
she is a good professor! Paying attention in class is vital. Her teachng method is very good and she repeats the smae thing a few times,which helps to remeber.
she is a very good professor. her tests are pretty hard though. must pay attention in class in order to pass her exams.
SHE IS VERY BY THE BOOK...NO EXCEPTIONS! SHE KEEPS YOU FROM START TO THE VERY END OF CLASS! SHE GIVES YOU A LOT OF NOTES AND HOMEWORK AND HER TESTS ARE EXTREMELY HARD!! SHES A VERY THOROUGH TEACHER! HER CLASS IS VERY HARD...I HAD TUTORS AND STUDIES MY ASS OFF AND WALKED AWAY WITH A "D"! I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED B/C I WORKED SO HARD IN HER CLASS
she is okay, hard tests
Fantastic professor. Had her for acc 114 and acc 121. Her teaching method and grading are so crystal clear, that you really have to go out of your way to not understand the material. Helped me get through the class. couldn't have passed accounting without her. Definitely take Prof. Galetta
always willing to help, tests are on the harder side, if you show up and do the hw it is an easy b- not a shot at an a though. i enjoyed her but if youre looking to take martin for 121 dont take galletta for 114. personally would choose galletta over martin any day
difficult, but the best!
Very nice. Failed her first exam, was thinking about dropping out, but then I decided to visit her during her office hours. She always stays that extra hour or two to help me until I understand it. Next test I got was 92. Take her, Shes always willing to help others, Not a hard class at all!
She is an excellent accting professor. As long as you study the classwork you will do excellent on her tests.
The class is difficult, and goes at a fast pace. But she is helpul
She is very helpful and sweet. Homework per chapter and alot of research (that''s what d class is about). Take her.
great. very helpful and understanding. she can really teach. study for test and u will be fine. always gives hwk. stay focused and u get an A like i did!
Prof. Galletta is the best. She's always available to help out her students. Explains everything in great details. Encourages everyone to participate but won't put you down or hold it against you if you can't come up with the answer. Do your homework and pay attention in class, you will do good in the class.
This is an intensive writing course which requires you to research tax, auditing, and GAAP laws. It alone is a hard class which prepares you for the CPA exam. Don't take this course unless you really are willing to work. She's a great professor, but the subject matter isn't. The professor is willing to help and is still learning.
One of the best Accounting professors. She really knows her field and is very interested in her students future. She will help you with anything, even if it's advice on the CPA exam or your future. There is a lot of homework but USEFUL homework that will impact your grade, help you in the exams as well as for the CPA exam itself.
I really have to make a comment about this woman.She is the best prof ever & if ACC is your major you have to take her.Her hw r a lil challenging but she wonâ??t take u points out 4 getting it wrong,she wants to know what u do wrong so she can can help,She never puts u down for anything,very proffesional,sweet,helpfu nd makes all other prof look bad.
Great Professor take her if you can, homework is mandatory but does not take away points if its wrong. She really wants you to understand the material and is very helpful. Test are reasonable and she definitely holds your attention !!
Great prof ! She'll help you if you have any ques. I would definitely take her again.
This professor is by far the best acounting professor at CSI. i took her for almost all of my lower level accounting classes and i am extremely happy i did. She teaches the subject perfectly and not at a fast pace. The class is very challenging and the material is hard but she is a fantastic teacher.
If accounting is your major then take her. It is a hard class but she is easily the best professor I have taken. She has an amazing understanding and can break it down to make learning a breeze. Do not pass her up
AMAZING! I learned nothing in my first two accounting classes but she taught me more accounting in one semester than a full year.Very helpful and really wants to help you learn. I wish she taught more classes. Must take her if your serious about accounting!
One of the worst proffessors I have every had. Not consisternt in her class structure and grading. Hard to get a decent grade and tries to avoid offering partial credit. Tons of HW and very little explanation of class materials. Non or very limited reviews before tests. Sometimes will pick on students for no reason. Avoid taking her classes!
Great professor. Definitely the best in the department. Breaks down what you're learning so not even an accounting student could understand. She is very nice and wants her students to do well. Study her notes and look over examples in textbook. You will do good
Great at explaining, but a really mean graderrrr
Great professor , i was lost in my two previous semester and she helped me. Explains a great deal . A lot of assignment to make you understand better ,if you want to learn take her but if you want an easy class this is not for you.
Exams are tough. she also intentionally tricks you with content from prior courses. She does give a curve, so that helps a lot. Definitely have to study! She moves too fast in class on some material. Don't go to see her in the office, she isn't very helpful. She knows her stuff and can teach. miss a class, miss a lot. be prepared to work.
Good prep class for CPA. Good instructor. Goes TOO fast when putting up and reviewing how to maneuver websites, etc... She cares and it shows. Good lectures. All around good instructor. Besides... you really don't have a choice, she's the only one that teaches 750.
The is the best professor. Don't miss the class if u want to know the course. No penalty for lateness or absent.
very tough grader gives 4 tests in total. She gives the test back at end of class and takes it right back, keeps you last minute sometimes even longer. She has two different tests test a and test b so you have to study more. She teaches you everything but is a very tough grader.
Great professor all around, one of the best professors I have taken in CSI. Homework assigned in every class but goes over it in the beginning of every class to help you understand the material. Tests are somewhat difficult, i would strongly advise to study for class notes and homeworks that are gone over in class, same concepts show up on the test
She is seriously one of the best professors at the college of Staten island If you a beginner in accounting like me you have to take her She gives a lot of work but she is always willing to help She tries to get everyone involved in class discussions and never lets you feel less than if you don't get it She is awesome112
She is really one of the best professors out there. She gives a lot of homework but always goes through them. She doesn't accept late homework so be prepared to work. She also loves involving everyone in class discussion so be willing to speak out. All in all she is great and will definitely take her again. She is good for beginners like myself.
She teachs everything you need to know, gives homework everyday. She helps in her office hours but her test are tough. She takes off a lot of points where she should not. You will never leave early and for extra credit you have to go to meetings.
Professor Galetta seems to be a very nice woman and she is fully available to help but her tests are extremely hard. If you are an accounting major take her but other than that try to avoid. Tests all long answers - 6 questions. Many students in class dropped.
She is a very good teacher. Gives homework every time but are helpful for you to understand the material better and she goes over them in class. Test are not that hard if you work. She is ready to answer any question and help you out. Will take her again for ACC 121.
BEST professor at CSI. Very knowledgeable about accounting and all the material. She gives a lot of homework but its great because it helps you learn the material and she goes over everything in class so we learn from it. Would definitely take her again
Prof Galletta is an amazing professor and truly cares about her students. Her lessons go step by step, however she will put you to work. Do the homework, show up, and ask questions!
Great Professor! she was tough, no arguments there. don't take her if you have no interest in accounting. but if you are an accounting major or just have and interest, you will learn a lot, and stuff you will need for classes down the road, and hopefully in your career, (i don't know, I'm still a student). Buy the book, go to class, do the homework
Great Professor! However, if you're looking for an easy A do NOT take her. Gives Excel and Martin Method homework. Her exams are 5-6 problems and she gives you an empty Blue Book to show all work. FORMATTING COUNTS. Do not forget page number on General Journal, you WILL lose points. Mostly feel like her class is geared towards Accounting majors.
She teaches by reading straight from the textbook. Not much explaination for the problems. Very confusing.
she a great person but not a great professor. TOO much work and material given not enough time to absorb before exams. She makes you study 5 long methods and you only get 1 on the exam. her class is miserable and makes you hate accounting
DO take her if you are an accounting major and want a quality mentor. DO NOT take her if you're hoping for an easy "A" , and is not serious about your future or have even thought about it kids.
One of the best professors I've taken at CSI thus far. Really does her best to make sure everyone understands the material. Take her if you are SERIOUS about learning accounting because this is definitely not an easy A. Extensive excel homework, long written exams, and heavy lectures, but it's worth it if you're committed to becoming an accountant.
The best professor I've had at CSI. She cares about her students and it shows. Very happy to have taken her.
She's a nice and helpful professor, lenient with grading and gives you extra credit to boost your grade, she gives out way too much homework though, and she NEVER lets you out early and I hate that, but she's good. Take her, I've learned a lot in her class
Absolutely magnificent professor, super professional and extremely helpful with the content. She offers extra credit on exams and gives you an opportunity to boost your grade. Very smart in the subject and a highly intelligent individual. Im not surprised shes a a CPA/ MBA/ CGMA shes extremely smart. Take her if you want to learn, I learned a ton
Wonderful Professor. I had taken her for Acc 215 this semester. It was a difficult class but if you do the homework and understand the concepts she is trying to teach you will do fine. The tests are similar to her homework problems.
She very strict for the spelling and you Email her ask how to do the homework she dose not reply it back
Professor Galletta is an excellent teacher. She is so caring and patient. Very helpful and accessible after class. She teaches amazingly. Cares about her students. She is VERY FAIR! VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE! One the best accounting professor at CSI! Shes also extremely impressive! Lol. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ALL ACC MAJORS!!!!!!!!!!!
she's a pretty good professor, two things i did not like though is the online Martin method HW. its 10%, if i didnt get the right answer then i lose about 40% out of 100% then when i do get a right answer it only goes up by 4%. a lot of questions too. also, if i missed one day its like i missed the whole semester. she does a lot in a day.
Guys! She is a great, knowledgeable and caring. But her teaching style isn't very useful. She makes you do homework before teaching, which simply consumes a lot of your time for studying other subjects, and she wants you to study literally every problem in the textbook and asks 6 out of it on the exam that is not similar to the ones she teaches.
don't take her only if your that good of a student,Genius. i barely passed her class even though i was there almost everyday and payed attention in class. she knows her material but she has some difficulties in explaining them. on the next day of every exam we would retake some questions in the exam. mostly the whole class would retake except for 2
Tough professor but the only professor that actually forced me to learn. Thankful that I took her!
Shes a good professor but shes tough on grading! She wants you to open your camera the whole time! I did everything in her class, opened my camera, participated, did all my homework and I didnt do that bad in her test and still got a B!! She gives you different problems on the test from the ones she teaches you or gives you on homework.
The class involves a nice amount of research. a couple presentations but they weren't to bad (make a powerpoint slide and present it) , 2 test, pretty rough but if you study youll be okay.
dont take her
She's a nice Professor but she does give a lot of homework which I suggest you take seriously because they usually coincide with the upcoming test per chapter. She does not bend when it comes to assignments. If classes remain online, she does want your cameras on and if its not on she will call on you a lot. This is not a easy class but you wlearn
Gives you a test with a lot of problems and not enough time dont waste your time with her take someone else
She really knows Accountant. If you’re passionate about being an accountant one day then this is the class for you. Homework were easy but the examines were difficult due to the fact that you weren’t sure what were going to be on them.
I can understand why people were having a hard time in her class because I was having a difficult time too. But as hard as her class is, she really tries to help her students a lot. I passed with a C+ when I deserved an F. She had so much patience. I wish I can write more but she's amazing I highly recommend taking her classes!! You won't regret!
She is a fantastic professor. She knows her material very well and teaches it amazingly. Very caring and human. Exams are similar to class work, and she provides students with all resources needed to excel in the class.
Great Professor who truly cares. Subject is not the easiest however she provides you with a ton of resources to do well, but YOU HAVE to use them and work hard. Lectures are long and heavy, quizzes every week, and a test every few chapters (4 total). Offers extra credit opportunities, stays late and comes in on non class days to review chapters.
SUPER CHALLENGING COURSE! Prof. Galletta is kind & smart but makes the class harder than it needs to be. Lots of work: HW, presentations and discussion board assignments. Midterm & final packed with tough research questions. Feels like this class is taking over my life but I am determined to succeed! I would not take her if I had another option.
Professor Galletta's course is amazing. She is a great teacher, and I learned a lot from her class. The homework, classwork, and exams were relevant and useful for mastering topics. I would warn non-accounting majors that are not interested in the subject that they can not do well in this class unless they pay attention and do the work.
Galletta's course is challenging. She is intelligent but, makes the course unnecessarily difficult. Felt like the work was an experiment to see what to use in future classes. There's an abundance of work: HW, presentations, and discussion boards. The midterm and final are not easy so make sure to stay on task. Prepare to work hard in this course.
By far the best professor on campus. Such a fair grader and she genuinely cares about you understanding the material. Will go out of her way to help make sure you understand everything
Love this professor but 305 was very hard, felt like a lot of the material was rushed and we didn't spend a lot of time on things that were difficult for the whole class, required a lot of outside studying for the tests, tests didn't reflect what was emphasized in the class.
She will go out of her way to help you outside of class and responds to emails promptly. Don't miss a beat , go to every class. Late homework will not be accepted. She provides MANY opportunities for extra credit, and truly cares about students. She is a pleasure, I learned a lot. Class takes up full time slot, you will never get out early.
don't take this class exams are hard and a,pt of homework
Do not let the rate fool you. Your do not want to take her. Her exams are extremely difficult, the homework load is a lot, she even contact you when theres no classes scheduled to give you more work. Sometimes you have less than 24 hours to finish the homework load. I regret taking her. DO NOT TAKE HER!! She's a nightmare!!!
She gives lots of assignments, and she doesn't explain the course material well enough for you to understand. She keeps saying, "You should know this; you should know this," but we don't. And her Exams are soo hard
HW was posted sporadically, making time planning impossible. Offered many opportunities to review for exams, but did not specify what was on them. Extremely rigid prof. I wish we had gone over topics with greater depth. Excessive HW limited personal study time.
The information was not presented in a clear manner. The HW's were so much that they didn't help with review; they just caused burnout and cramming. We also had to do them on Excel which just made it significantly more complicated. Exams were designed to trick/challenge you. She helped a lot with professional networking.
