Italian

This course was a true joy to take. Ilaria is by far my favorite professor, and anyone who has ever taken any class from her can no doubt imagine why. The class moves at a fast pace, but, thanks to Ilaria, never feels rushed; it actually feels very chill. Ilaria is extremely adept at explaining new concepts, and will always take time to make sure everyone understands what she is teaching. I hesitate to even use the word "lecture" to describe her explanations of new concepts, as she always did so in such an engaging fashion. Her presentations are interesting, as are the discussions she has us engage in every morning with the person sitting next to us. She is an extremely intelligent and sophisticated person, but also extraordinarily kind; it is always so fun to talk to her outside of class. I look forward to continue learning from her in the fall!

Ilaria is a great professor, she knows how to keep students engaged in the lesson and creates a comfortable environment for corrections and speaking. There are daily handouts and weekly quizzes that are great as long as you studying the material. Outside of that there is canvas work which can be done as many times as needed until mastery

Ilaria is an amazing professor who is very passionate about teaching Italian. She is very enthusiastic. There is daily homework every night but it is graded on completion. Quizzes and exams are relatively easy if you pay attention in class and grading is lenient.
