The best professor I have had here at UCLA. Genuinely cares about her students and their learning. It is obvious she has put time into carefully planning her coursework and takes student feedback very seriously. Encourages students to go to office hours. One of the few professors where I do not feel like teaching comes second after research. She has great energy and makes the class feel excited about the course material. Sometimes can be unclear, but if you ask for clarification she is more than willing to put time into clearing it up for you and others in the class. Have taken another class with her this quarter and would love to take another.

Professor Gallien is awesome! She's a super cool professor who is really passionate about her work. Gallien has experience in industry and research and shares her knowledge all the time. Her real goal is to teach you. The tests were pretty easy and tested basic concepts. Our final was a group project analyzing flood volumes which was super duper cool. The class is good and I recommend to all civils!
