She's a little disorganized, and sometimes ran a few minutes over, but she makes up for it by making sure the material is clear as well as being extremely helpful if you don't understand. I plan on taking a class with her again.

I would recommend taking all of the classes that this professor teaches. Some of them are difficult particularly language and literature but she is a fair grader and with work you will do fine. I left Eastern thankful for my time in her courses, and enjoyed my time in Germany more due to what I have learned in her courses.

I thought Professor Damiano's lectures were incredibly boring to listen to. She was my least favorite professor in CASI 206.

Damiano is a really great prof, but you have to put forth the effort to get a good grade. All that means is simply doing the work, practicing on your own, and coming to class. I felt pretty confident (maybe a bit over-confident) in my German skills after taking this class with her.

Absolutely great professor. Not the easiest, but it's not the easiest subject; she makes it about as easy as it can be and is more than helpful and accommodating enough to make up for any difficulty.

AWESOME professor. She is paired with an equally awesome professor in this class. Their dynamic is awesome. She makes lectures extremely interesting and is very knowledgeable. The exams are pretty easy as long as you come to class.

She is a great teacher; Ms. Damiano helps students to effectively learn how to read and speak the German language. The class is difficult but she's very willing to help you learn. She is among the best of EMU's professors.

Comment:
Many people take the first 2 years of a foreign language at a community college. Usually that is best, since you save a lot. However, having a very skilled professor such as Prof Damiano at the beginning of your German study is worth its weight in gold. I know a great language teacher when I see one and she is one. A tough language made clear.

Speaks German for all lectures. A lot of 'reading between the lines' using the Mitlesen Mitteilen text. Most of the exams were take home. A lot of homework.

Great professor! If you want to learn take Damiano - if you're looking for an easy A, go away. You will work, but she will also work with you. Can be a bit unorganized, but her knowledge of the language compensates for everything. My favorite professor at EMU! Ohne Deutsch, ohne Spass!
