One of my favorite profs I've had - bit of a nut job but she makes the class fun! Took her class to satisfy my last credit to get my BS, definitely better than trying to take a calc class. If you show up to class and participate, she'll be a great friend to you and a tremendous asset academically. Highly recommend!

She is literally the best math teacher i've ever had in my life!! She makes math so much easier to understand. I did not even care that it was a 8 am class because she was so optimistic and funny! She teaches all the information step-by-step and is always making sure the whole class understands before she moves on. Take her!!!

She's so hilarious and nice! You're gonna think she's really odd at first but in the end it helps you remember things. Didn't go to 8 am part of the class but did fine.

TAKE HER FOR CALC!!!! She is hilarious and keeps you entertained even at 8am. She explains everything very clearly and makes math easy. She goes over everything on the exams so there are no surprises. She is such a sweet lady and really wants all her students to do well

Easily the best professor I have had at JMU so far. She makes the class enjoyable and explains the material really well. You work in groups that you get to choose at the beginning of the semester. If you complete all the homework problems and make sure to ask questions when you are confused you will have no problem doing well in this class.

Prof. Galgano is probably the best Professor I have had at JMU! Calc is not easy but she makes it so much simpler. She let us work in groups which was awesome! If you have to take math/calc 205, you must take her. The class is not an easy A, but if you put in the work you can achieve a good grade as she is more than willing to help!

She was one of the best math professors I have had here at JMU. She genuinely cares about her students and how well they understand the material. She teaches all of the concepts in a way that is very understandable and schedules out of class help sessions for people who need extra help.

Prof. Galgano is such an amazing professor! She is super nice and is super passionate about the subject. I have never been the best at math but she will help you until you understand the material. If you have the chance, definitely take her class!

Cutest lil lady ever. I barely passed her class but that's because I'm awful at math and never had a good foundation in it. If you're remotely okay with math you'll pass, just do her homework. It's group homework so you and three other people turn in one sheet and you all get the same grade. Go to her office hours, she is so helpful one on one!!!

Skip class? You won't pass.

8AM's are completely worth it when Prof. Galgano is teaching! She is very clear and cares a lot about her students, just show up & try your best. The material itself is easy if you did fine in middle or high school algebra 1&2. I hate math and mornings and I loved her class

Mrs. G is the most amazing prof I've had at JMU so far. Nicest lady ever, so compassionate, and really knows her stuff. She really cares about all of her students, wants everyone to pass, and wants to make sure everyone is keeping up. You do have to work hard and do well on the tests (you have 3 tests and they make up 85% of your grade.)
