Comment:

He is very kind and easy grader, but if if you don't know the language, this is not the correct level. He does not speak clearly and it is very hard to follow. Accumulated grades were a mystery as he never kept track of them. Quizzes every week but they were fairly easy. His lectures are boring , unstructured and useless.

LOVE THIS MAN. One of the few influential University profs I have had @ CON U. He is a gentle man and a true Linguist. He is talented with languages, however, he is old so it is hard to hear what genius thing he is mumbling under his breath lol I agree, HOT TOMALE! lol Lei ha un cuore d'oro, sicuro.

Comment:

First of all, why does he have a hot pepper bside his name? lol.. he's boring, and no one can ever understand what we have as hmk, etc. But he seems pretty easy! Lectures seem a bit pointless? And it's mostly just review from intermediate ital.. He's a sweet man though & helpful.. if u can understand him. (speaks reallyy low, and monotone)

Top-notch. An absolute sweetheart. Your final mark is based on quizzes, tests, compositions and a book report. Although classes can at times be tedious, he gives you the opportunity to ameliorate your mark.

Comment:

Patient and attentive. He's not a great lecturer but then again grammar is not a particularly engaging topic to begin with. His command of the language is astonishing and one can learn a lot from him. He's eager to see his students succeed and tries to grade based on individual progress. Just make an honest effort and he will reward you.

Comment:

Nice teacher, uses the textbook and exercise book that he wrote, which are very clear. He gives homework for every beginning of the week, it makes grammar's understanding much simpler, composition subjects are not very interesting but they are easy to write about. Exams are fairly easy and the quizzes help a lot. Also very approachable.

Comment:

He's fairly easy, he only wants to see you try, most grades just get a check mark in his book anyways. He is soft spoken though which makes him tough to be heard but is always available if you don't understand something and is eager to help.
