Beginning Italian
Beginning Italian II This course is a continuation of ITAL 0101, and emphasizes spoken and written Italian and the mastery of more complex grammatical structures and vocabulary. Students continue to work with conversation partners, but will also incorporate more specific cultural references in oral presentations and in written assignments. Students attend the Italian table and mandatory film screenings.
Professoressa Zupan is extremely engaging and down to earth professor. She does make people answer questions on the spot however she was very open to helping when one wouldn’t know. She brought chocolates and Pennetone which were delicious. Zupan is awesome
The instructor was very enthusiastic about teaching the course and showed a clear interest. My grade was bumped a lot from getting free A's on a lot of the projects and presentations. There are weekly quizzes on Fridays, but they are fairly easy if you review the coursework from the last week for an hour or so.
I enjoyed taking this course with Professor Carletti. Althoughtit was a lot of content to learn in little time she made sure that we understood what was going and put a lot of emphasis on the practicality of it. She is strict but very enthusiastic and I think is what you need to properly learn a language
I really enjoyed this class. Professoressa Carletti has a great sense of humor and was always very clear in explaining new concepts. Besides the daily Canvas exercises and weekly viewings, there isn't much work required for the class.
Professor Van Order made the class very fun and engaging despite the kick up in intensity that was going from Italian 101 to Italian 102. The class is very useful in getting one to talk and use the Italian language as much as possible.
