Macroeconomics sucks regardless of who the teacher is. Though it seems unnessecary, I recommend going to 90% of the classes, because he does explain things more clearly than in the book. Quizzes are easy, he gives you the question and answer so all you have to do memorize them. Extra credit is a BIG help. Do it no matter what!

Gallaway is a great teacher, he knows his stuff! His lectures break things down into plan English. He gives extra credit on blackboard, but they are assigned a chapter or two ahead of time, so you have to read ahead. His tests are extremely hard, but he's there if you need help. Use blackboard and you may have a chance. Good Luck!

Dr. Gallaway's class was extremely easy because of BlackBoard. There is over 100 bonus points possible out of a total 1000 points. Exams are 800 points, and five of six quizzes make the other 200 points. You don't HAVE to go to class because all the chapters have powerpoints on BlackBoard.

This professor is terrible! He will never respond to your emails ever, and cannot manage to stay up to date with his grades! For only an intro level class, the difficulty of this class is extreme. Be prepared to lose points on discussion boards because you didn't post them early enough for his liking even though they were still on time.

I don't have enough character to say how much I strongly hate Professor Gallaway, he's not communicative with his online courses and practically throws them away, has no lectures so you have to teach yourself in a class where more than likely you're taking it before Macro so you have no idea what any of it means.

Great professor - I learned so much about environmental economics and made it my career path.
