Comment:

WORST TEACHER EVER WAS SAID BEFORE AND SAID AGAIN TEACHES LIKE ITS A 300 LEVEL COURSE NOT ONE PERSON DIDNT HAVE A DUMBFOUNDED LOOK ON THEIR FACE WHEN SHE WAS TEACHING DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE DOES NOT AND WILL NOT TAKE IT AS IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE LANGUAGE. OVERWHELMING AMOUNTS OF WORK, CRAZY TESTS THAT DONT HAVE THE MATERIAL TOLD TO YOU. DONT TAKE!

Comment:

SHE IS BY FAR THE WORST TEACHER AT MONTCLAIR. She treats an intro class like a 300 level class! Expects you to be able to speak the language within the first 4 classes. AND has the nerve to be mad when you dont have the $155 textbook when it hasnt even arrived in the mail! STAY AWAY! Do yourself a huge favor, DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS.

Shes super nice, the class is hard but only because of the (stupid) departments requirements, although she doesnt asign all that she could. she really helped us all out and we loved her stories!

Comment:

Was a very strict professor, but you learn to speak Italian, which is the point of the course after all. The work is not bad, it is the departments requirement. If you want to learn how to speak Italian take this class!

Comment:

Seemed to call on me way too often because I was having a rough time picking up the language... Learned only enough to get her off my back. Practically guaranteed a 100 on Quia homework because of how the system works, that's about the only good thing going for her class.

She is strict but means well. Only take her class if you intend to be super serious. Otherwise, you will fail.

Comment:

I loved this professor. I took the class because I wanted to learn Italian. It wasn't a requirement for me so mayble that helped. I really wanted to learn and this professor ensured that I got my money's worth. I went to Italy and was able to speak with ease! However, you should only take this class if you want to learn. She is tough!

She allows for no error and as we all know everyone is perfect so it works out well. I hated her class and her style of teaching. She isn't understanding of, well, anything.

She is a great professor but she expects you to do a lot of studying and even more work. Take the class of you're prepared to work hard.

she is a terrible professor. all she does is talk about her time in italy and since she teaches mostly freshmen, the distraction is welcomed. she hated me and the feeling was so much more than mutual.

She definitely knew her stuff, and was actually a pretty good teacher, except if your late and she makes you sing in Italian. Don't take this class unless you're ready for a rediculous amount of work.

shes okay. i mean, what do you expect from a language teacher. she let us bring in food every class so that was a perk-after that, she was generally nicer.
