I've never written about a professor on bruinwalk before, but after taking a class by Galles, I feel compelled to do so just to warn others. He sucks as a teacher. He doesn't teach you material that is going to be on the test, and the material isn't in the reading. He chooses readings from people he knows-not good writers or good teachers- and expects you to read between the lines in their articles to come up with answers for the tests. Tests are ridiculously hard. Worst class and professor I've ever taken at UCLA.

I took his Organizations course and he is a entertaining lecturer, but he will not teach you anything for the exams. Everyone is freaked out before the exam and afterward too. He doesn't show up on the final day in fear of being shot for his evil exams I guess. His grader gives bad grades in hopes to keep up the reputation of a stupid Pepperdine professor. I used to go to office hours and study a lot (even made a notebook of reading notes) but didn't help. You have to "just" answer the 200+ (not kidding) questions listed in the beginning of the coursepacket and memorize each answer before the test. I think he has too much benefit of the doubt teaching at UCLA--a little too conveniently set income for poor performance.
