A passionate professor who cares about his students. If you show up to class, attend the lectures, and do the readings, you will succeed. He gave out prizes during class to keep things lighthearted. This class focused on poetry more than I would have expected.

Dr. Looney is so intelligent and really knows his stuff. I like that coming to lecture is never boring, and it always helps me to clarify material, rather than waste time or add to readings. He is very straight forward and hilarious. Take a class from him!!!

A very funny man that pulls no punches when it comes to talking about his favorite historical authors. Also, he speaks Italian very well. Looney is a smart man and is worth the work if one likes his courses of Italian history and want a fun first-time lecture experience.

Good guy, but tests were difficult. You go over tons of material so be on top of your readings. No HW, though, besides the readings.

He's pretty easy, flexable, funny, approachable, and just an all around nice guy. You'll love him if you have him for a teacher and you will want to be adopted by him. He's the man and that's all I can say.

Really nice professor. Makes little jokes in class and grades easily. Lectures can drag on though. Don't take unless you're interested in italian literature.
