 Pros: Super friendly.
Great speaker.
Loves questions from the class.
Has a great way of teaching/breaking things down.
Awesome anecdotal examples.
Free to meet with students a lot.
Very straightforward with grading, etc.
I have to say... I think any negative reviews for this professor stem from the disliking of the class or perhaps a disliking for having to show up and give a damn.

 Professor Gallo is simply amazing. This can be a difficult class because of the detail insight into the brain and the nervous system. However, Gallo knows her material very well. She is very engaging and very helpful if you have any problems. Her exams were composed of defining terms and two essay questions. I would strongly recommend her, as again, she is great.

 Pros: Easy teaching style
Will help with any/everything
Extremely friendly
Flexible with office hours
Cons: Gives a lot of projects
She pretty much assumes you're reading the book. If you sit through class it's pretty much a review of the book. The exams go hand in hand with the class. Overall.. she's hot and easy to stare at.. or listen to.. Whichever you prefer. She's a great professor though with great enthusiasm and passions for psychology.

 Pros: Interesting lectures
best professor at drexel!
Cons: none!
Gallo's lectures were very engaging and her exams were very fair. If you read the text and paid attention in class you will easy land an A.

 Nothing besides 3 exams, 2 midterms and 1 final. She will drop the lowest of the 2 midterms, so then each exam becomes 50% of your grade. Her tests were kind of hard. She gives up to 4 extra credit points to your final grade. Did not do that well on midterms but aced the final to get an A. Pay attention in lectures and study of slides and a little bit of textbook and you should be good to go.

 Pros: She's hot. Very fair course grading since 30% of your grade is homework, and 70% is exams.
Cons: Her lectures stray from the course material since she takes SO MANY QUESTIONS that are unrelated to the 101 course material.
Take her class for the easy course grading and a GPA booster. Her exams are fair. I just really don't like her lectures because she takes too many qustions and you get lost on what needs to be known for the test.

 Professor Gallo is fantastic, and I would definitely take another class with her. The workloads for her classes are more than reasonable - two exams and one or two papers.
She teaches some of the less "fun" courses, but she does her best to make them interesting and to engage students. In my opinion, she succeeds.

 Gallo is extremely intelligent, and it shows in class. She can answer any question that is thrown at her. Only problem is that you need to read the book to ace her class. First test I got an 84 just from taking notes in class, second test I didn't take notes but read the book and got a 98. She drops your lower test grade, so it's just about doing the work. You don't have to go to lecture, but it's very helpful to hear her speak. She explains things very thoroughly! She was great.

 Most bangable teacher I've had at Drexel. Pretty interesting lectures not just because shes sexy as hell.

 Dr. Gallo is very kind and very professional. She is enthusiastic about the class material, which definitely helps to keep students engaged. She loves it when students ask questions, and she does her best to answer them thoroughly. (And "her best" is pretty darn good, because she is quite knowledgeable.) I would certainly take Dr. Gallo for another class, and I would highly recommend her.
The class itself is a bit difficult at times, but that cannot be helped; the material is technical by nature.

 Great professor. About 3 assignments all term, and if you do them, that's half the studying for your exams already. You get to drop your lowest exam grade. Teaching Psych to a bunch of engineers and single minded bio majors who devalue psychology is hard, but she tries to keep it neutral and answers all questions in a 200+ person lecture. Definitely take her!

 She just reads off slides in lectures, which basically does nothing. Thanks for holding my hand with basic literacy...? Doesn't really help prepare you as a student for the exam, and the exams were huge. My midterm had 17 chapters and my final had 23 chapters (noncumulative). That's pretty ridiculous.
By the way, I still scored well in her class (A-), so this isn't a student who did bad writing this.

 Dr. Gallo is an amazing prof. She makes lectures fun, memorable, and interesting. I took this as an elective, so I totally disagree with it being to hard for anyone except a psyc major. Her grading is totally fair in my opinion as her tests are multiple choice and fairly easy if you just go to lecture and read the chapters. She also gives opportunity for extra credit on both your midterm and final exams as well as up to 4 points on your overall end of term grade. I would take her again with no hesitation and recommend her class to anyone I know.

 Dr. Gallo is somewhat of a nice professor, but makes this course way too challenging. It may be exciting for those majoring in psychology, but not for the rest of us who take it as an elective. The grading is really harsh and you either pass or fail her class cause she only looks at your exam grades and some of the extra credit opportunities that you may have been able to do. Overall, the extra credit sucked because they don't consider the fact that students have lives outside of psychology and take other classes as well as work. The exam extra credit was alright but she's still tough at grading that material.. I would not sit through this again.

 try's to make class fun and knows a great amount about psychology, saying that her classes are not fun, her test are crazy, and only cares about getting her job done by putting the grades in to the book, she does not care bout the student at all. the worst teacher at drexel

 I thought counseling psych was an easy class, we did mock counseling and lectures, tri-weekly journals, one long paper on a counseling assessment, and we will take a final exam on the reflection journals. Nice professor, easy going and funny. Class was easy to participate in through examples. thought provoking. I will take her again if possible.

 Save yourself, do not take her. 3 projects, two big exams. Grading is extremely difficult, tests are essays , short answers, identification. Pretends to be nice to get good evalulations, does not care about students.
