Comment:

Gugu is hilarious, he will pretend to get offended if you get something wrong or if you don't know an answer, but he means well. He does have a thick accent and is kind of hard to understand, but you'll catch on. I had a lot of fun in the class and always got good grades. Just do the homework and learn how to pronounce things correctly.

Comment:

If you've never taken a language before, you will struggle with gugu. He doesn't explain grammar and expects you to be an expert on the sections we are studying. His english is also really bad so he can't explain anything. Coming from a background in Spanish the class was really easy and I think as long as you do the homework, you'll be fine.

Comment:

definitely take Gugu if you want to learn Italian but most importantly want to have fun! Class is mostly just talking in Italian with prompts, and I find this extremely more useful than language teachers that just reiterate the textbook almost like a math class. Gu is absolutely hilarious and does not pick favorites like some of these reviews say

Comment:

Gugu is an amazing teacher! I had him for both Italian 231 and 232. Italian is a difficult language, but he does an amazing job teaching. He also has lots of office hours and enjoys chatting with students outside of class. His lectures are also hilarious, and he makes participating easy. I'm so glad I had him as a teacher! -Marielle

He is the best. Great best friend, always has suggestions to jump out the window. Tough, T-O-U-G-H grader. That il supposed to be la? 3 points off. Misspelled the word? kiss that A goodbye. Overall GUGU is hilarious and you will laugh and have fun in class but you must work hard to get a B . Also he will attack you with italian outside of class.

Comment:

All the italian professors are generally easy-going, and Gugu fits right in. It was a fun class to be in. I can see how he would be a poor professor for someone who has to put in a lot of effort to learn, but I found no problems with him personally.

Comment:

Very funny professor. The class is fairly easy as long as you take/study notes. He highly encourages vocal practice which is great. The only problem I had was that half the time, I couldn't even understand what he was saying. His accent is just thick enough to where you have to really pay attention to what he means, or else you will get lost.

He is a great teacher. Gugu taught the material in a way that was easy to follow. If there is anything you want to improve on, he'll give you suggestions of what to practice. Office hours were helpful. Homework & tests were reasonable. If you put the effort in & stay on top of the material, you can do really well in this class.

Comment:

Yes, gugu is hilarious. Is he a good teacher? no. He is not. He will get mad at you when you dont know the answer to a concept he taught just one second beforehand. He grades the compositions on a bell curve also. It absolutely sucks to be in this class. there arent enough words to explain how much i wish i took another prof.

Comment:

He is super funny. He sometimes does not understand you completely in english and he will respond to something completely different but its not too bad. Homework is assigned daily but is not collected (We go over it in class). If you don't turn in something on time he will not get mad and will let you turn it in a few days late.

Gugu is great. He's funny, he keeps a lighthearted mood flowing throughout class, and he doesn't get mad if you're late or if you didn't finish your homework. No, he doesn't speak fluent english, but his use of Italian forces you to learn! I love him, and I look forward to his class! Highly recommended.

Comment:

Gugu makes extremely inappropriate jokes and frequently insults women, but you just have to laugh it off and roll with it. If you can do that, you'll like him. Homework is easy. You never really know what he's correcting you on, he barely speaks english, and he can't understand your questions, but he does do the best he can to teach you

Comment:

Gugu is very entertaining. As long as you participate and joke around with him, you will be on his good side. He is very lenient with homework, but make sure you have some of the answers filled in. I've had him for two semesters, and if you have a good attitude, you'll have fun in class with him.

Comment:

Gugu is hilariously sweet, he wears awesome pants, but he's definitely not the MOST amazing teacher. He will either make you love or hate the class depending on if you're on his good side. Homework is graded pretty easily, you don't even have to do all of it. Overall not a bad class though

I absolutely love Gugu. He is a great professor and very entertaining. If you get on his good side he'll give you good grades. For having the class 4 times a week, it was never a huge burden to go. He's the best. I took him for 101 and 102 because he is awesome.

Comment:

Poor and old fashioned teaching methodology, rather repetitive, sometimes his comments can be sarcastic and even (involuntarily, I think)offensive. He maybe funny and hilarious, but there are much better Italian teachers around.

Comment:

Gugu is insane. I'm nearly positive he was randomly picked up in Italy somewhere and flown to U of M to teach. He's very chill, and a pretty awesome teacher. Sometimes he would grade random things really harshly, but overall he's a good guy. If you happen to smoke then he'll love you even more.
